DEAD BEARS

Control your trash & save bears DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

B.C. Conservation Officer Service is pleading with TriCity residents near greenbelts

and forests to take extra precautions with their garbage. Insp. Murray Smith made the appeal as he fielded calls about a family of three bears — a sow and two yearlings

that were killed early Thursday morning by conservation officers in the Panorama Drive area of Port Moody. “It’s really important that the public do their part,” said

Smith, noting that this is the time of year bruins start looking for food and will come into neighbourhoods if they can smell human trash. Once the bears get hooked, they tend to

stick around, and last year six were destroyed in the Tri-Cities because they had become habituated to human trash. see BEARS WERE, page 8

Metro Vancouver will begin water use restrictions two weeks earlier than normal next month in an attempt to avoid a repeat of last summer’s shortage, and it will also assess whether more water metering or other strategies would best help conserve the supply over the long term. The regional district will begin standard stage 1 water restrictions on lawn sprinkling on May 15 this year instead of June 1, and they’ll run until Oct. 15 instead of the end of September.

REFUGEES IN THE TRI-CITIES

Lunch, language & a bouncy castle United Way works to connect local refugees with services in Tri-Cities DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Syrian refugees have found permanent shelter but are struggling with the English language as they adapt to new routines, says a director of a local agency providing funding and support to the newcomers. Kim Winchell, director of investment for the United Way of Lower Mainland, said a community lunch on Saturday drew 100 government-sponsored Syrian refugees, who dined on traditional foods and connected with local service agencies while their children did crafts, got their faces painted and played on a bouncy castle. “They are getting accustomed to life in Canada, things we take for granted, such as transit and grocery shopping,” said Winchell, who visited with a number of families at the event, which was held at Mountain View elementary school in Coquitlam. One of the most popular activities was the bouncy castle, she said, and the children

One of the most popular activities at the United Way welcome lunch for Syrian refugees Saturday at Mountain View elementary school in Coquitlam was the bouncy castle. patiently lined up to take their turn. The Tri-Cities is home to approximately 15% of the government-sponsored refugees

who have arrived in Canada since January, prompting the United Way to host the lunch in Coquitlam at the same time it was holding similar events

in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey. Winchell said the United Way wanted to make the new residents feel welcome and con-

nect them with local services. “The event was a happy, welcoming event,” she told The Tri-City News, noting that a common theme among fami-

lies was their appreciation of Coquitlam generosity. In addition to the families and social service agencies, approximately 80 volunteers came to help out at the lunch. Winchell said helping Syrian refugees is a top priority for the United Way, which is putting $2.8 million into programs serving newcomers in the Lower Mainland. In the Tri-Cities, the charity contributes to a drop-in program for families called the Early Years Refugee program, the Schools and Families Together program (run by Share Family and Community Services), and the Immigrant Services Society’s Reaching for Success program, with Mountain View being the main hub because most of the refugees live in the school’s catchment area. Winchell said the United Way is also working with School District 43 to establish a summer school program for the refugee children up to age 12. “We will definitely keep a pulse on all four communities and see what else we can do to step up,” she added. Recently, the United Way made a fundraising appeal, United for Refugees, with $175,000 being raised to date.

summer school registration just around the corner Popular summer activity sees kids back in classroom DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Thousands of School District 43 students are expected to enrol in summer school programs this year in what has become as much of a tradition as heading to the beach. And while high school credit courses continue to attract students looking to boost marks or free up their schedules during the school year, most of the growth in enrolment has been among students in the younger grades. This year, for example, some 6,000 students are expected to enrol in Coquitlam Summer Learning programs, more

than half of whom are kids in kindergarten to Grade 8, while enrolment in high school credit courses is holding at 1,800 students and remedial programs (for students wishing to upgrade to a passing mark) is similarly stable. “As our numbers would indicate, it’s matching a need in the community,” said Murray Peters, vice-principal for Coquitlam Continuing Education. The courses are also free for B.C. residents, and there are many more options than the traditional reading, writing and math, giving students an opportunity to learn a new skill, such as a musical instrument in beginner band, how to cook in a culinary arts course or building leadership skills in a physical education class. Peters said SD43 will once again offer a few new courses;

for example, some for students in Grades 3 to 8 will blend two subjects in a single course, such as reading, writing and outdoor science or math and outdoor science. In these integrated courses, students will focus on a “big idea” using elements of the two subject areas, Peters said. “This is not necessarily revolutionary, many teachers for a long time have been integrating those subjects and we wanted to formalize that this summer,” he said. The new integrated courses have also been developed in line with the provincial curriculum being rolled out for kindergarten to Grade 9 students this fall. The new curriculum — which stresses personalized and project-based learning, among other things — has already been introduced to many SD43 schools.

QUAKe PreP CLAss Fri.

With earthquakes recently occurring in Japan and Ecuador, the city of Coquitlam is hosting a timely workshop. To help you learn how to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours following a major emergency, the city is offering a HEROS training presentation for people 50 and older at Dogwood Pavilion (1655 Winslow Ave.) on Friday (April 22) at 10 a.m. Participants will learn how to protect themselves and their families in case of an emergency. The presenter will review typical earthquake damage, hazards and protective measures inside and outside of the home. Details regarding emergency supplies, family communication and community preparedness will be discussed. This presentation is free and pre-registration is requested. For more information and to register, call 604-927-4386.

“We want our summer learning to be part of the innovation that’s going on,” Peters told The Tri-City News. This year, about 240 teachers will be hired for the summer,

with courses available at about a dozen Tri-City schools. As well, specialized courses for Montessori, French immersion and international baccalaureate students will be offered.

And for families wanting to get a jump on summer planning, registration will soon begin. To get an account, you must have the student’s PEN number, which is available from their home school; all registration is done online and starts at 6 a.m. on the following dates: • elementary, Tuesday, April 26; • middle and secondary skill building, Friday, April 29; • Grade 10 high school credit, Tuesday, May 3; • Grade 11 high school credit, Wednesday, May 4; • secondary remedial, Friday, May 6; • Grade 12 high school credit, Wednesday, May 11.

COQUITLAM

CHRONIC PAIN? Problems prompt Coquitlam to ponder even more parking LASER THERAPY MAY BE THE ANSWER.

1 HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN

Requiring garage parking considered but rejected GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Parking conflicts have reached a boiling point in some Coquitlam neighbourhoods and the city is considering revisions to how it allocates stalls for new developments. Some city councillors are even calling for rules that would require residents to use their garages for parking rather than storage or additional living space. “There needs to be some sort of enforcement or something that says you have to use your garage for parking,” said Coun. Brent Asmundson. “It really impacts the neighbourhood.” But a report presented to council-in-committee Monday afternoon outlining potential amendments to the city’s parking regulations stopped short of recommending new

enforcement measures. Mike Dhaliwal, a development planner with the city, said staff had initially considered requiring garage parking but decided against it after reviewing similar regulations in other Lower Mainland municipalities. “It does ultimately come down to enforcement,” he said. “It would require bylaw officers to investigate how garages are being used by residents. It would be a very difficult approach.” Many of the issues stem from the widespread development of smaller single-family homes, townhouses and rowhouses, particularly on Burke Mountain. The smaller, more affordable housing types were adopted back when plans for improved bus service and rapid transit were expected in the neighbourhood. Since those plans have been shelved, the city is now dealing with multi-car families moving into an area that was not designed for the large vehicle load. “While these initiatives have generally proven to be

“Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain...I tried every possible treatment...but alas, nothing worked. One day, I came across an ad for Laser light Therapy and even though I was sceptical I tried it out of desperation...I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain – it is truly a miracle!” P.B. (58)

Speak up!

2 NECK PAIN

You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com

“I had chronic pain that would run the length of my left arm from my shoulder right to my fingertips. It was painful enough that it would wake me up throughout the night, so I could not get a decent night sleep. After about 2-3 weeks of laser light therapy on my neck, the pain disappeared and I was able to get a decent night sleep.” N.C. (69)

successful, there appears to have been some unintended consequences related to the adequacy of the city’s off-street parking standards,” said the report. As a result, staff is now recommending that the number of spaces for every new townhouse, row-house, triplex and quadruplex development increase from the current 1.5 stall per unit to two stalls per unit. The city is also looking at no longer counting tandem parking as a recognized stall for secondary suites, carriage houses and garden cottages, according to the report. Staff will now take the feedback from council and draft a report that will come back to council for approval.

3 SHOULDER PAIN

“I am ninety-five years of age and had been experiencing constant neck and shoulder pain for some time. My family doctor could only recommend pain killers as the available treatment. It was then I learned about Doctor P. Bennett’s Laser Treatment.... After ten treatments,....I was no longer enduring the chronic ache and pain which had beset me for so long.” P.G. (95)

4 ELBOW AND NECK ARTHRITIS

“Finally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy. First the neck, within a few treatments my neck and shoulders stopped aching. Then the left elbow, which was quite sore with moderate degeneration. The treatments improved my painful elbow. I no longer awake every few hours from pain and many nights I can sleep right through!” R.L.L (62)

5 BONE SPURS IN HIP JOINT

“For several years I experienced pain in my hip which spread to my lower back and made my leg ache...After 2 treatments I felt almost immediate relief, and after 4, danced at my grandson’s wedding. After 10 treatments I was completely back to normal with no pain and fully functioning...This therapy worked wonders. I couldn’t believe it, and I would strongly recommend it.” A.R. (74)

After completing about a dozen or so sessions of Laser therapy, my knee pain, while not completely eliminated, has been largely reduced and I can enjoy my daily walks again.” W.F. (75)

7 ACHILLES TENDON TEAR

“I am an avid squash player in my late forties. I had partially torn the Achilles tendon on my right foot during a squash match. This was the fourth time in five years that I have injured my Achilles, and each time it took about 5 months to heal. ... After 7 weeks of treatment, I have more range of motion in my ankles and the scar tissue that should have developed in that area never did due to the laser therapy treatment. I was back playing squash in 7 weeks, rather than 5 months.” D. Jung

THRIFTY FOODS

Final days at Thrifty’s will help food bank clients Coquitlam store partnering with Share Sat. & Sun. SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Fill up your grocery cart at Thrifty Foods in Austin Station this weekend — the store’s last at that location — and you can help fill up Share food bank shelves at the same time. The Coquitlam Thrifty’s location is closing as of Monday, soon to be replaced with SaveOn-Foods, and is celebrating its final weekend with a food drive. “They’ve been a consistent supporter, that’s why this is a little bittersweet,” said Michele Mateus of Share Family and Community Services of the Thrifty’s closure. Sobey’s Inc. confirmed in January it would be closing the Riverview Heights Thrifty’s, citing an inability to reach acceptable lease renewal terms with the landlord. The store employs 35 full-time and 105 part-time staff. “On behalf of all of us at Share, we’d like to express our sincerest thank you for all of the generous support the staff and management at Thrifty

Foods Austin Station has given us over many years,” said Valerie Hutton, Share’s director of development, in a release. “Their amazing support of the community and their fine corporate engagement has been stellar.” Food and funds will be collected at the store on Saturday and Sunday. Mateus said that while people tend to think of giving to the food bank more during the Christmas season, the need is constant throughout the year. The Share food bank distributes 5,000 lb. of food to at least 375 Tri-City families every week, and 37% of those it helps feed are children. “People are hungry all year round,” Mateus said. “This is a great reminder for the community that there’s a need for the food bank, and it’s a struggle to get those donations.” Items that are most in need include high-protein and -nutrient foods like tuna, peanut butter, salmon, beans and lentils, as well as larger items that can be turned into more than one meal, such as a jar of tomato sauce. Baby supplies are also appreciated for Share’s Tiny Bundles program. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Bulging, Herniated or Worn Discs may be to Blame for Sciatica, Pain and Numbness in Legs Bulged Disc

] Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating

Herniated Disc Sciatica Pinched Nerves Stenosis

“For me, taking this program has been a huge success. I have my normal life back. The best part of it is to be able to say… I remember when I had a herniated disc.” — Bridget

negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at Spinal Decompression Institute.

Many spinal conditions can be treated, including pain due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

Class IV Therapeutic Laser

Why The Spinal Decompression Institute?

The Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage.

DEAD BEARS

Bears were in yards continued from front page

That’s what happened to the family unit killed last Thursday. The group had been getting into people’s yards and garages over a two-week period since leaving their dens in late March, and they weren’t seen as good candidates for relocation because the female had been relocated once already, judging by its ear tag; last fall, the same bears had been breaking into homes to get food. As soon as spring arrived, they resumed their activity, although it had been hoped they would go back to eating wild food. Smith said Port Moody Police were first called to the scene and by the time the conservation officers got to the home, the bears had moved from the garage to the street. “They had no fear of people,” he said, noting safety was the reason the bears were killed. Smith said of the conservation officers, “They hate that part of the job.” And he urged people to keep trash and green carts locked up, and not use bird seed so bears aren’t tempted to stray into yards. Port Moody is typically the city with the fewest complaints and bear deaths. During last year’s bear season from April

REACTION TO DEATH OF 3 BEARS The shooting deaths of the three bears has angered many, with people posting dozens of comments under the story at tricitynews.com and on The Tri-City News’ Facebook site. Many had seen the bears in the area and didn’t see them as a problem. The young bears had even been caught playing on Forest Park Drive and a video of them posted to the city’s website. Facebook comments ranged from anger at the conservation officer service to frustration with people who don’t remove bear attractants. Here is a sample: • Amy Murdoch: I knew these bears and saw them this week. They passed behind my house (the forest) frequently over the past year. Never aggressive. Never destroyed anything here because we keep our garbage secure. I was out hiking this morning and wondered if I’d run into them. Turns out they were dead. Devastating. • Cathy Morton: Appalling. When will we stop the massive overdevelopment in this area, and start fining people who don’t deal with their garbage properly? I hate reading these stories, especially right after seeing the video of the innocent cubs. Tragic. • Steve Wallace: They say these bears are not “good candidates for relocation” but can’t they at least try? I’ve lived here with young kids and seeing bears in our garbage for over a decade, no problems. I call bull--- on the slaughter of this momma bear and Cubs! Try harder! 1 to Sept. 29, for example, three bears were destroyed in Coquitlam, two in Port Coquitlam but none in Port Moody. But the Conservation Officer Service received 405 bear complaints from PoMo residents last year and had to start a campaign to encourage businesses to lock up their trash bins after a bruin was found hanging out behind a popular coffee shop

and getting into garbage. “It’s an easy solution,” Smith said. “Let’s lock up all the human food sources, the bird feed, and in the fall it’s fruit trees, and even pet food. “We really need the public to be doing these [things] and having good habits so we don’t get these bears into bad habits.”

NOISY KIDS

Difference of opinion between mom, mayor ‘Kids being kids’ vs. ‘repeated complaints to the city’

We want to hear from you by May 2!

GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam mother of three is furious with the city after she received a notice of bylaw violation warning because her children were creating “noise that disturbs” while playing in front of their home. Jana D’Addabbo, who lives on Burke Mountain, said she was caught off guard when she came home from one of her son’s hockey tournament Saturday night to see the notice posted on her door. The ticket stated that her kids needed to “keep yelling and screaming to a minimum.” “I am quite disappointed,” she said. “It seems like they enforce something like this but they allow harsher things to go by without a ticket or a notice.” Adding to her frustration is the fact her family was not home when the ticket was received. D’Addabbo said she is still not clear when noise levels go from “kids being kids” to a bylaw infraction. She is particularly disappointed, she

When D’Addabbo went to city hall Monday to talk about the ticket with bylaw staff, she was told video evidence had accompanied the complaint. “I don’t know what they are doing with those videos,” she said. “Are they recording my kids all the time? It’s not right.” see ‘THIS WASN’T’, page 10

NOISY KIDS

‘This wasn’t just one neighbour who had issues,’ says mayor continued from page 9

This is not the first time her home has received a visit from bylaw officials. Last year, she said, an officer knocked on her door and warned her that a neighbour had complained that her children were being too loud outside. With the warm weather returning, D’Addabbo added that her kids have started venturing out into the yard once again. “They have only been out there three or four times this year,” she said. “They play hockey. They ride scooters. This street is not busy.” But Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart countered some of D’Addabbo’s claims in a Facebook message he posted Tuesday morning. He said there have been numerous complaints over multiple years and that “rocks and other objects” were “thrown at a neighbour’s yard toward [the] neighbour’s toddler. “This wasn’t just one neighbour who had issues,” he wrote. “And I know that at least one of the neighbours had tried talking to the parents.”

Stewart also defended the actions of the bylaw enforcement officer, noting that the city cannot release all of the reasons for issuing a notice of violation. He added that in his more than 10 years on council, he had never seen a case like this. “This notice, though, wasn’t about children playing,” he said. “It was about behaviours that were significantly disrupting the neighbourhood and placing themselves and others at risk.” Andrea MacDonald, Coquitlam’s manager of bylaws, said the violation notice is a warning and that bylaw officers only wanted to speak with D’Addabbo. She noted had the family been home at the time, it is unlikely anything would have been written down. “Everyone appreciates there are always two sides to a story,” MacDonald told The Tri-City News Monday afternoon. “We don’t take any action until we have both sides of the story.” The city’s noise bylaw does not specify a decibel level or a time of day, simply stating that the noise cannot disturb the neighbourhood. MacDonald said staff are investigating the

complaint to see if the volume at the D’Addabbo residence was in violation of the rules. “In order to prove an offence, we have to prove that it is disturbing the neighbourhood,” she said. MacDonald added that the city encourages children to play outside but residents need to be respectful of one another. She also said bylaw officials try to avoid issuing tickets and prefer to work with neighbours to find solutions. “We encourage neighbourly conversations,” she said. “Usually, we can mediate and have a useful conversation to gain voluntary compliance if there is an issue. Ticketing is always the last resort.” Meanwhile, D’Addabbo is leaving her Avondale Road home for another residence further down the hill. She cited the recent noise complaint as an example of why she decided to sell the property and head to a different neighbourhood, a move she expects to take place in June. “It is more kid-friendly,” she said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

THE NOISY KIDS STORY

Social media jumps on noisy kids story DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

The power of social media turned a neighbourhood dispute into a national debate, putting the city of Coquitlam under the spotlight in a matter of hours early this week. What began as a story about a mother of three angry about receiving a notice of violation from the city because her children were producing “noise that disturbs” turned into a controversy over proper parenting when the story went viral on Facebook. Jana D’Addabbo, who lives on Burke Mountain, came home from her son’s hockey tournament Saturday night to see the notice posted on her door that suggested her children needed to be considerate of neighbours and “keep yelling and screaming to a minimum.” She first posted her concerns on Facebook and when The Tri-City News followed up and posted the story online — at tricitynews.com and linking to it on Facebook and Twitter — the

The story of a Coquitlam mom who complained about receiving a bylaw notice regarding her kids exploded on social media after it broke Monday afternoon, even drawing attention from The Guardian newspaper. response was quick and in support of D’Addabbo, with many suggesting children needed the freedom to play outside free of censure. Comments on Facebook ranged from “I love to hear the sound of children playing” to kids don’t need to be “yelling their fool heads off to have fun.” On Twitter, people for the most part sided with the mom, with one user noting that research shows children are healthier when they play outside. Public opinion quickly

changed the following day, however, when Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart defended the actions of the bylaw enforcement officer, noting the family had been the subject of numerous complaints over multiple years, and the notice wasn’t about children playing but about disruptive behaviours. Social media sometimes only gets one side of the story, the mayor opined on Facebook. But the media had a field day with the question at what point does children’s noisy play becomes a city responsibility. Over two days, the story quickly got the interest of Vancouver media, with radio stations (CKNW, CKPM 98.7 and News 1130), BC CTV News, online media Vancity Buzz, castanet.net and iNews880.com and even the Toronto bureau of U.K.-based newspaper The Guardian all covering the story. On The Tri-City News’ Facebook page, for example, in less than 24 hours the original story reached some 13,000 people, drawing dozens of comments and the updated story reached several thousand more.

OUR OPINION

Up to all of us to save bears T

That’s because bears, once accustomed to the ease and taste of human trash, will become hooked — just like a drug addict on heroin. It’s a simple fact of numbers and evolution, attractants such as leftovers and vegetables pack a greater caloric

punch than a mouthful of berries, grubs or grass. There’s no point in blaming conservation officers for the problem and saying relocating bears is better than shooting them because that’s not always the case. For example, if bears are already habitu-

ated to human garbage, they are likely to return — even from hundreds of kilometres away — and now they are even more desperate. Sending cubs to Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley instead of killing them is a good option and makes people feel better. (Critter Care relies on donations and doesn’t get provincial funding, by the way, so help if you can.) And this spring, some 33 bears will be released into the wild, some of them from the Tri-Cities. But how many of these bears will survive not having their mothers to teach them the ropes, and in forests already home to bears? It’s not that we want to promote vigilante action but neighbours and businesses working together to stop attractants from being made available to bears would make a difference and show that everyone is prepared to do their part.

NEWS

WESTWOOD

he outpouring of grief at the killings of three bears in Port Moody shows how deeply Tri-City residents feel about nature and how desperate they are for a solution. Here’s one: Instead of blaming others, and conservation officers in particular, perhaps it’s time for residents to take matters into their own hands. Call a city bylaw officer if you see people leaving their trash or other attractants around, so warnings and fines can be meted out. For the most part, people understand that neighbourhoods built in or next to forests are in bear territory and it’s up to residents to make sure nothing is left outside for bears to get into. But the sad fact is, it just takes one or two homeowners or a single business to forget to close a door, lock up a waste cart or an industrial waste bin for the problem to begin.

Who do you think is going to pick them up? I walk regularly through our beautiful neighbourhood in northeast Coquitlam and am appalled by the number of poop bags I see on a regular basis, never mind the copious amount of fast food garbage that also gets tossed everywhere. You have chosen to live in a nice neighbourhood — have some respect for the others who live here and keep it clean. Sheila Andrascik, Coquitlam I expect two things from the city: First, an extended campaign to emphasize to residents that their continued irresponsible handling of household garbage will have consequences, not to the bears, but to themselves. Second, I want to see bylaw enforcement officers on the street every night assessing stiff fines against people who leave garbage containers on the street overnight.

The Editor, Re. “Port Moody bear deaths blamed on garbage” (tricitynews.com, April 15). To Port Moody council: I have just heard of the recent killing of three bears in Port Moody and I am angry. This killing has to stop. The city of Port Moody and its citizens are directly responsible for the occurrence of bears in residential areas. The expansion of the city has destroyed the bears’ natural feeding areas and residents’ refusal to learn to control their garbage have caused the problem. It is unconscionable to try to solve a problem the city has created by killing bears. On previous occasions, I have asked the city to enforce its garbage laws and nothing effective has been done. Now I am demanding consistent action from the city. Residents must be taught that leaving garbage outside or outside overnight on collection days is not acceptable.

The city must develop an effective program aimed at educating residents in how to coexist with bears. It’s simple: Just leave them alone. Bears have never caused a serious injury in Port Moody despite non-stop provocation by people. They do not deserve to die just because uneducated residents perceive them to be dangerous.

Twenty-five local cyclists got to test their mettle against a Tour de France star Sunday, and pitched in a few bucks to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation at the same time. The group, which included seven-year-old Ronan Johns, won the chance to ride with two-time yellow jersey wearer Jens Voigt after raising at least $1,000 for the annual Wheel to Heal ride on April 30 (as a youth participant, Johns had to raise a minimum of $700). They left Sky Helicopters in Pitt Meadows and stopped at Cap’s Westwood Cycles in Port Coquitlam (a W2H sponsor), Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody and then headed back across the bridge in the 50-km ride. “It was fantastic, it was so much fun, the weather was amazing and Jens was a plea-

sure,” said Charlene GiovanettiKing, executive director of Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. “At the very end, part of the group decided to pick up the pace and it got a little competitive… they were doing a pretty good clip on the way back.” Giovanetti-King said registration and fundraising are on track for the eighth annual event, with just 75 more adult registrants needed to meet the goal of 350. Another 24 children and youth have registered; in all, participants have raised $88,000 towards ERHF’s $125,000 goal. Funds raised go to the greatest needs at Eagle Ridge Hospital.

Mann Bridge. But if 100 km is a bridge too far, riders can take a shortcut at the 25 km mark for a total distance of about 60 km. Two other routes are a great fit for all levels of riders, as well as families, and will take cyclists on a 15 km or 40 km tour of the Traboulay PoCo Trail. All rides start and end at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, and it’s the end part that’s been beefed up to celebrate riders’ accomplishments. Plan to soak up the atmosphere at the Celebration Plaza, where there will be live music and entertainment, beer garden and burgers, a kids’ bike decorating station and parade and a special cheering section to watch the riders come in. • Wheel to Heal, sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, is on Saturday, April 30.

Book a spot now to give blood on May 4 SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

Kick back in the Port Moody fire hall truck bay and roll up your sleeve for the city’s third blood donor clinic on May 4. It’s the second blood drive in the fire hall (the first was in the city hall galleria) and PoMo Fire Rescue administrator Natalie Hayton hopes it reaches its goal again this year. “Our target [last year] was

76 units and we collected 89” from the 119 people who attended, Hayton said, “so it was very successful.” She has been spreading the word about the May 4 clinic via social media and says there are still appointments up for grabs, noting it’s an easy way to help others with a direct and lasting impact. “It’s something you can give that doesn’t cost anything,” Hayton said.

Fire Chief Remo Faedo said the need to donate blood cannot be overemphasized. “It’s ongoing, the need doesn’t stop,” he said. “And you never know when you might need blood yourself.” The clinic is on Wednesday, May 4 from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. To book an appointment, call 1-888-2DONATE or visit www.blood.ca. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

PoMo ponders $20k to deal with whistles Complaints from PM residents near rail crossings SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody will spend $20,000 for engineers to determine whether trains on the Ioco spur line can do without the whistle at the Murray Street crossing. Staff have been investigating whistle cessation options for more than a year, working with Transport Canada and CP Rail on ways to resolve an issue that’s been irking area

residents for years. Trains have typically taken the Ioco spur in the late afternoon and returned at about 9 p.m. but in the past couple of years, the schedule has been less predictable, with trains passing between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Each time, the trains must sound the whistle at the Murray Street and Alderside Road crossings — two long, one short and one long blast — much to the dismay of any nearby residents hoping to get a good night’s sleep. One option under federal regulations would be manual protection, in which a train operator manually controls traffic on the roadway while a train

approaches the crossing. It’s a cheaper method than whistle cessation, which requires a lengthy review process involving the city, CP Rail and Transport Canada, to determine whether a crossing is eligible for cessation. If it’s approved, installing flashing lights and a bell system is estimated to cost up to $200,000 per location. There are eight road crossings along the Ioco spur line; the Murray Street crossing has a flashing lights and crossing arms system in place and a review is needed to determine whether that system is sufficient.

WATER

Meters would cost hundreds per home continued from front page

Metro utilities committee chairman Darrell Mussatto said the regional district is simultaneously embarking on a twoyear study of the pros and cons of residential metering, as well as potential alternatives. “It’s not a slam dunk,” Mussatto said, noting meters are very costly — $400 to $1,000 per home to install plus around $50 a year for reading and billing. Homes are already charged based on how much water they use in a few cities — Richmond, West Vancouver and in parts of Surrey. Where meters are used they help reduce consumption, but Mussatto said the region needs to carefully consider what else could be done with the money instead. More enforcement against water wastrels is one alternative. “If we go to stage 2, for example, and you’re only allowed to water your lawns once a week, if people are watering outside that could we get the same type of compliance a lot cheaper through bylaw officers?” A key consideration is the fact that reducing the water used doesn’t in itself save the system much money overall. The vast majority of Metro’s

water costs are for the infrastructure to treat and deliver it, not the water itself. Those system costs don’t vanish just because water use drops. Conservation just helps delay when the next big expensive project to increase the supply is needed. “If we put water meters in, what it does is shift who pays the bill, it doesn’t reduce the bill a tremendous amount,” Mussatto said. The big losers who’d pay more under metering would be single family houses with lawns to water, he added, while multifamily unit dwellers would pay less. And since meters will add fixed costs, the total cost of the water system would go up, potentially by hundreds of millions of dollars. “It’s not cheap,” Mussatto said. “If you do go to water meters, it may mean paying more for less water.” Metro is also looking at shorter term options to further cut per capita water use on peak days, which has been declining by about two per cent a year. The regional district also has options for getting more water if needed over the mid-term. Officials expect that they could buy extra water from BC Hydro from the Coquitlam reservoir to meet expected de-

mand over the next 10 years. After that, Mussatto said, a deeper intake at Coquitlam could allow the region to draw more from a lower level, providing extra supply for another two decades. Thirty years out or more, he said, is the expected time frame for potentially needing to raise the height of the Seymour dam to store more water. Snowpacks above Metro Vancouver are only slightly below normal so far and well above the same time last year, so officials are optimistic for now that the water supply will

be sufficient without imposing extreme restrictions. One other tweak to the rules is that businesses that were banned last year from aesthetic pressure washing at stage 2 will be allowed to continue this year. Pressure washing was previously allowed only for health and safety reasons once stage 2 was declared. The region has also clarified the rules allowing the sprinkling of nematode-treated lawns by permit to reduce chafer beetle infestations. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

A rezoning bid by a storage company in Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle isn’t sitting well with some city councillors. On April 11, council voted to allow the Circadian Group’s application to proceed despite concerns about the number of jobs — very few — the business would generate. Coun. Brad West, chair of the city’s smart growth committee, said a storage facility would only have up to five employees at the massive site — 620 storage units in 20,000 sq. ft. over three floors — located directly south of the Carnoustie Golf Club at 585 Seaborne Ave. He said he’d hoped the Dominion lands would create more jobs as it was originally intended to be a light industrial zone. Still, West said storage is needed given the existing com-

Minnekhada Middle School

Neighbourhood Learning Centre Community Consultation and Open House In anticipation of Provincial approval and funding for the seismic replacement of Minnekhada Middle School, School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) would like to invite the community to a Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) Community Consultation and Open House. Pending approval and funding, NLC space in Minnekhada Middle School will comprise 15% of the total square footage. The idea is to find unique and innovative ways to design schools with both school and community use in mind. As Minnekhada Middle School is a designated Community School, this space will support the programs that mutually benefit both the school and the community. Some examples of NLC spaces could include: enhanced curricular spaces, an enhanced gym, enhanced arts spaces, or meeting space for community groups. Goals of the event are:  to share the results of the Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) public feedback received through our online survey;  provide an opportunity for the community to provide additional feedback on this key public site; and  summarize the conceptual school design process so far and next steps. When: Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 5 – 6:30 pm (CHP Architects will present at 5:15 pm. There will be placards to view and school district personnel to ask questions to throughout the event. We welcome everyone to stay for the Grade 5 Open House beginning at 6:30 pm). Where: Library, Minnekhada Middle School, 1390 Laurier Ave. Port Coquitlam For detailed information from the Ministry of Education on NLC’s: www.neighbourhoods-of-learning.gov.bc.ca If you have any questions, please email: facilitiessecretary@sd43.bc.ca

Port Moody’s top job is up for grabs now that city manager Kevin Ramsay has officially announced he’ll be leaving his post as of June 29. Ramsay came to PoMo from a similar role in Squamish in April 2012 and now, with 34 years of municipal work under his belt, he says it’s time for someone else to take the reins. “I’ve been in the business for 34 years and it’s time to do other stuff,” he said last week. Ramsay will take a position

on the board of directors for WorkSafe BC following his departure from PoMO and, apart from that, he aims to keep his workload light. “I don’t want to work more than 1,000 hours per year,” he told The Tri-City News. “That’s my limit.” Ramsay oversaw a significant period of change at PoMo’s bureaucratic helm, most significantly a thorough reorganization that changed the city’s leadership structure. “We went through every piece of the operation in each business line and have ended up with a number of improvements that are positive both from an employee perspective and, more importantly, in terms of cost effectiveness,” Ramsay said. “We’ve imple-

mented a lot of leadership competencies and practices that will really stand the test of time.” PoMo Mayor Mike Clay said Ramsay took on a challenging job that involved a number of difficult organizational changes and “has done a great job,” particularly in implementing a number of improvements in the city’s operations. The Davies Park executive search firm touts the PoMo city manager’s job as “an excellent opportunity for a seasoned and progressive leader” who will shepherd the city through a time of growth and change with the coming of the Evergreen Line in 2017.

Franchising is a booming phenomenon (generating over $100 billion in sales each year). If you start in business as a franchisee, you have an 80% chance of success, much greater than if you start a new business on your own. So should you jump on the franchise bandwagon? Franchising is simply a way to distribute products and services. Typically, the franchisee pays a fee and ongoing royalties to the franchisor who provides a complete business package for starting and running the business. The package might include the business name (McDonald’s), business manuals, trademarks and logos (McDonald’s “Arch Deluxe” hamburgers), employee uniforms, techniques (how to make that special burger), accounting systems, etc. Running a franchised business tends to appeal to more conservative entrepreneurs. If you’re the innovative type, a franchise might prove too restrictive on the way you want to conduct business. For example, the franchisor of a “Schnitzel Baron” restaurant in Matsqui got a court order preventing the franchisee, who was trying to improve profitability, from selling “Deep Fried Perogies with Sourcream & Onion”, “Octoberfest Sausage on a Buttered Bun” and other menu items not authorized by the franchisor. Still, the benefits may outweigh the disadvantages – for both parties. The franchisee gets the franchisor’s proven name and track record plus its

operating systems. The franchisor gets to rapidly expand its business without investing too much capital. But it can’t fire a franchisee as readily as it could an employee, because the franchisee is an independent business person. If you plan to become a franchisee, carefully check the expected profitability of your proposed outlet. Speak with any existing franchisees and visit their locations. Is there real recognition associated with the franchise name? A business well- known in Ontario may be unknown in B.C. Until recently-introduced franchise legislation becomes law in B.C., the franchise agreement mainly controls your rights and obligations. Usually, this legal contract covers in detail the period of time you have the franchise for, the franchise territory (e.g., all of Coquitlam or just five blocks on one busy street), any franchisor training program, the hours and days of operation of the business, the product or service, payments to the franchisor of advertising fees and so on. Standard franchise agreements are typically onesided in favour of the franchisor, with little room to manouevre. Your lawyer will go over all that’s involved, and may be able to negotiate changes that suit your specific situation better. A franchise can be a great way to start a business. But it’s critical you know what you’re getting into before you start slinging those burgers.

FISH & THE ENVIRONMENT

25 years & hundreds of thousands of salmon at Noons Creek Hatchery PoMo Ecological Society celebrates with May 7 event BY DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

ong before the advent and explosion of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Netflix, a small group of passionate people got together to bring salmon back to their neighbourhood creek. It was 1991 and Noons Creek in Port Moody, once the site of First Nations fishing grounds, was empty of salmon. It was so bad that an area resident collected salmon eggs and built a mini hatchery. That spark ignited plans for the Noons Creek Hatchery. Today, generations of young people are learning about salmon and the importance of fish to the environment, getting up close to the creatures, leaving technology behind, even if just for a couple of hours, thanks to the Port Moody Ecological Society (PMES), which is celebrating its 25th year. Executive members Dave Bennie and Brian Wormald say people show up at the hatchery, built by PMES volunteers, while on a walk around Shoreline Park. The visitors are always impressed that salmon are being raised from eggs to fry at a hatchery just minutes from downtown PoMo and a short stroll from the rec centre. “It’s amazing,” said Bennie, whose father, Doug Bennie, was an original PMES member and has an interpretive trail named for him. “I’m seeing children of the kids who first visited here when we were just getting started.” In fact, not a day goes by without some visitors showing up to throw fish food pellets into the coho rearing pond and watch the tiny fish gobble it up in a frenzy. “We get a lot of local people that didn’t know it existed,” said Brian Wormald, PMES president, of the hatchery. “We do a lot of community outreach.”

In fact, over the years, PMES has become a voice for environmental stewardship in the region, promoting care for trees, plant life and creatures. Elaine Golds, one of the region’s pre-eminent environmentalists, is one of its directors and members include people who are also involved with nearby Mossom Creek Hatchery. Volunteers have dug ponds to raise fish, built a shelter to house tanks and troughs, and carved out interpretive trails, complete with boardwalks, to encourage people to get close to the creek and marvel at the salmon life cycle. There is also a water quality testing lab on site and bursaries are given out to qualified students to help them with their post-secondary education. But what really gets PMES volunteers in front of the community is the Fingerling Festival, held each May when the chum salmon fry are released into Noons Creek. This annual event, which started with 5,000 fish fry being released 25 years ago (at the time the fry had to be trucked to the event because there was no hatchery), has become a major attraction in PoMo, with 5,000 people expected to attend. This year, the free event is slated for Saturday, May 7, with as many as 40,000 chum fry to be released into the creek, mostly by children, dozens of displays and activities offered, as well as entertainment by children’s performers Bobs and Lolo, and a by-donation barbecue. Rain or shine, this is a great opportunity to see nature at work and to leave the tech toys at home, even if just for a little while. • Port Moody Fingerling Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 7. More than 100 volunteers are needed for a variety of jobs at the event (minimum two-hour commitment between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.). Call the Noons Creek Hatchery office at 604-469-9106 for more information or visit www.noonscreek.org.

Perennials add excitement to any garden. The first hints of spring growth from plants you’ve nurtured over the years builds anticipation. As your perennials fill out & begin to bloom, for another year, there’s a deep sense of satisfaction.

Perennial Gardening Tips... • Before planting, add bone meal along with a layer of organic matter (Compost, peat moss or manure are all good choices) to the planting area and mix well. • Keep each perennial’s light and soil requirements in mind – hostas & ferns like shade, cottage pinks love the sun and a sweet soil! • When planting, give each plant the appropriate amount of garden space – many will grow quickly to their mature size & prefer not to be over-crowded. • Some taller plants might need extra support – use a stake, peony ring or obelisk. This is best done at beginning of the season. • Many perennials offer gorgeous flowers, others like heucheras & hostas, are valued for their interesting or colourful foliage. With 100's to choose from, there’s a perennial for everyone!

Check out children’s lit classics A GOOD READ DIANNE ALLAN

re you looking for a great book to share with your child? Discover the timeless magic of the following memorable children’s classics, books that have fascinated generations of children and adults and are still popular today. Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery is the story of Anne Shirley, everyone’s favourite redhead. When Anne arrives at Green Gables, she surprises everyone. First, she’s a girl and they had asked for a boy to help out on the farm. And she’s not just any girl: She has bright red hair, a wild imagination and she can talk a mile a minute. “Isn’t it splendid to think about all the things there are to learn about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive — it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?” White Fang by Jack London is a classic adventure novel. Set in the desolate, frozen wilds of Canada’s northwest, it is the story of White Fang, a part–dog part-wolf cub that is the sole survivor of its litter. All alone, White Fang has to learn how to survive in this harsh land. In the words of Jack London, “The

Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.” The Call of the Wild, also written by Jack London, is another classic adventure novel. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White is a classic of children’s literature that is “just about perfect.” This Newbury Honour book is a tender novel of love, life and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come. Wilbur, the pig, is the runt of the litter born on the farm of Fern’s father. When her father announces he is going to kill the pig, Fern begs her father to spare Wilbur. Her father spares the pig but only if Fern agrees to look after it. “Some pig. Humble. Radiant.” These were the words in Charlotte’s web, high in the barn. Charlotte’s spider web tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur who simply wants a friend. “But we

have received a sign Edith — a mysterious sign. A miracle has happened on this farm…. in the middle of the web there were the words ‘Some Pig’… we have no ordinary pig.” Hatchet by Gary Paulsen has become a modern classic. It is the story of 13-year-old Brian Robeson’s survival following a plane crash. Stranded in the desolate wilderness, Brian uses his instincts and his hatchet to survive for 54 days. “When he sat alone in the darkness and cried and was done, all done with it, nothing had changed. His leg still hurt, it was still dark, he was still alone and the self pity had accomplished nothing.” Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, perhaps the author’s best known story, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014. Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka, the Oompa Loompas and Grandpa Joe are the hilarious characters in this wonderful book. “Something crazy is going to happen now, Charlie thought. But he wasn’t frightened. He wasn’t even nervous. He was just terrifically excited.” Mr. Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has decided to open the doors of the factory to five lucky children and their parents. “In your wildest dreams you could not imagine that such things could happen to you. Just wait and see.”

COQUITLAM 125

Coq. Foundation to help 125th The Coquitlam Foundation has established a unique fund to mark the city of Coquitlam’s 125th anniversary this year — and is calling for donations to boost that fund. The Coquitlam Foundation 125 Legacy Fund is aimed at enabling community legacy projects. And in a release last week,

foundation chair Janet Toddington called for citizens to help endow the fund with $125,000 by the end of 2016. “This fund is designed to enable individuals and groups to both celebrate and enhance our community and, by so doing, leave a legacy for future generations,” said the foundation’s executive director, Jill Cook.

Examples of legacy projects that might be funded include: public art, book publications, video productions, musical compositions, restoration projects, community infrastructure (gardens, trails, etc.) projects and commemorative plaques. Those interested in donating now or applying for a grant in the future should email info@

Walter Knecht | Pickleball Walter started playing pickleball two and half years ago when he was challenged by a friend. In addition to playing pickle ball, Walter plays slow pitch on three teams, two to four games per week, and curls two days a week. Walter also regularly exercises at home three or four times a week. While he has taken a few medals home, Walter says that for him it’s not about the competition as much as “participating, having fun and people collecting”. Another benefit to participating is the travelling. His goal in participating in the 55+ games is to “get through them with no down time and to meet another 50 people”. Walter has an engineering degree and worked as an engineer for many years before retiring. His advice to all athletes young or 55+ is to “get out there and do it”.

COURTESY OF ECO-FASHION WEEK

Coquitlam’s Tetyana Golota debuted her new line of Ukrainian culture-inspired designs at Eco Fashion Week in Vancouver last week. The Ukrainian native, who owns Around My House consignment store in Port Moody, had eight pieces on the catwalk — six of which she stitched up in four months after her mother returned from the Ukraine last December with a pile of handwoven fabric and accessories from their village. Golota learned how to sew from her grandmother. Now, she is designing another collection for the Vancouver Art Gallery and is preparing for an eco-fashion even in Australia in November. “It’s amazing what’s happening,” she said, “but I like to create.” This year, Vancouver’s Eco Fashion Week marked its 10th season of showcasing sustainable garments.

Sainas, a blues player who performs up to three gigs a week, said he’s inspired by the talent, energy and enthusiasm of his students. “Every day I come in and the kids are just so stoked to play music.” Two of his students — one current and one former — are also being featured in the PoCo’s Stories exhibit: Elaina Beaunaventura and Mandy Costa, who together have

formed the group Bird & Lion. Sainas was given the choice between speaking or performing at the exhibit opening on April 23 and, not surprisingly, he chose the latter.

“It’s an open audition process,” Case says. “We try to make it as much like real-life theatre as we can. It’s not a class they can sign up for… this is an extracurricular commitment that they have to audition for and earn. For the most part, the entire production is student-run, from creating the costumes to staging the production, which is handled by students from the drama department’s stagecraft program. Being part of a theatre production requires a tremendous commitment of time and energy but the life lessons learned can be carried beyond the stage. “[The students get] a tremendous sense of community and accomplishment,” says Case. “An undying sense of dedication to a group, something bigger than just themselves.

It was a good day for the Premier Baseball League team, which defeated the visiting Vancouver Island club 11-1 in the first game and 3-0 in the second.

The Coquitlam Express’ Taylor Green is taking his hockey career to the Canadian Interuniversity Sports league next season after signing with the Mount Royal University Cougars in Calgary. The big ‘7”, 220 lbs., defenceman played 58 regular season games with the Express last year, scoring six goals and 31 assists in the process. He logged a lot of minutes for Coquitlam, particularly during their first-round playoff series against the Chilliwack Chiefs. The hard work appears to have paid off, as Green will now take the next step in his hockey career with the Cougars. “I’m very excited to be playing hockey for the Mount Royal Cougars next season,” he said in a press release. “Thank you to the Coquitlam Express family for helping me get to this next level, I can’t wait to start my next chapter of hockey and life at the university.” sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

PREMIER BASEBALL

Two wins for Reds in weekend action Reds move into sixth place with pair of victories GARY MCKENNA Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Reds’ batters came alive during a doubleheader against the struggling Victoria Eagles last Sunday at Mundy Park. The Premier Baseball League team was already up 2-0 going into the fourth inning of the first game, where they posted two more runs and six more in the fifth. Both Wyatt Gilson and

Matthew Clay had two runs and an RBI, while Sam Lantela had two runs along with Nikko Millas, who had two runs and batted in two more in the scoring barrage. When the dust finally settled in the first game, the Reds were up 11-1 after six innings of play, with pitcher Kole Benard taking his second win of the season. Coquitlam was not quite so dominant on offence in the second game but they didn’t need to be. Three runs was all it took to deal Victoria its seventh loss of the season, with Reds pitcher Indigo Diaz notching his second win of the year on

the mound. Coquitlam got all of its scoring out of the way in the second, with Dignan Ius, Clay and Lachlan Hunter all touching home plate before the inning was out. With the victories, the Reds move into sixth place with a 4-2 record, behind the North Delta Blue Jays (3-1) and the Okanagan Athletics (3-5). The club will hit the road this weekend for a meeting with the Jays at Mackie Park on Sunday starting at 11 a.m. For more information and a complete schedule go to www. bcpbl.pointstreaksites.com. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

BC PREMIER LEAGUE

Coquitlam SC extends win streak to 5 games GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC put another notch in the win column, shutting out Fusion FC’s under-17 squad 6-0 in B.C. Soccer Premier League action at Town Centre Park last Saturday. The victory extends the under-18 squad’s win streak to five games and puts the team firmly at the top of the standings with a 7-1-1 record. Fusion is in second place with a 6-2 record.

Coquitlam has been on a solid run for the last few weeks. The club defeated Mountain FC 1-0 on a road trip last weekend and took down Thompson Okanagan FC 4-2 at Town Centre on April 9. Meanwhile, Coquitlam SC’s under-17 team is heading in the opposite direction in the standings against its mostly under-18 opponents. The club fell 2-1 to Fusion SC’s under-18 team on Sunday and couldn’t muster a win against Thompson Okanagan’s under-18 squad last weekend

at Town Centre. Coquitlam’s under-17 team is currently in the middle of the standings, ahead of Mountain and behind Surrey with a 4-2-1 record. The under-18 Coquitlam SC team is gearing up for a meeting with Coastal FC at Town Centre this Sunday, while the under-17 team will play Surrey United in Cloverdale on Saturday.
