Coq. shelter deals with complaints But fewer issues since opening, police, operator says DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Dead dog tossed in dumpster SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
The BC SPCA is hoping to identify two people who dumped a dead dog in a Coquitlam waste disposal bin last month. Results of a necropsy on the young, female boxer-cross show she likely died from extreme heat exposure shortly before being tossed in the
garbage. “It really is sad,” said BC SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk. “You hate to think of any animal suffering like that, but then to be tossed in the dumpster adds to the sadness.” Security video taken at 68 Schooner St., just off United Boulevard, on July 26 shows a light beige or gold-coloured minivan pulling up behind the building and a man and
woman throwing the dead dog into the dumpster. Chortyk said somebody initially contacted Coquitlam Animal Control, which then called in the BC SPCA. The body was sent away for a necropsy and the results were just received, leading the BC SPCA to conclude it was a suspicious death. Chortyk said they don’t know what happened to the dog, which
was about a year old, but it’s possible she was left in a hot car or in a crate in an unventilated area. Eileen Drever, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA, said the dog’s body temperature would have been elevated beyond its ability to release the heat, resulting in a “very painful death.” see SPCA, page 6
Coquitlam RCMP and operators of the 3030 Gordon Ave. homeless shelter in Coquitlam say complaints about tenants, garbage and needles have declined since the shelter opened eight months ago. But one nearby resident said his family has been scared by the appearance and behaviour of some of the tenants from 3030 Gordon, a shelter and transition housing project funded by BC Housing on city of Coquitlam land near Lougheed Highway and Westwood Street. In an email to The Tri-City News, Michael Anderson said he was approached by someone who was obviously high on drugs and is worried that concentrating addicts in the neighbourhood will result in an increase in violent crime. “What I would like to see done is that the centre adopt and publicize a zero-tolerance policy for theft, intoxication and substance abuse, and that the clients understand they are not to impose themselves on
passers-by, on pain of ejection from the facility,” Anderson stated. Operational since December of 2015, the shelter and transition housing project has supported 124 homeless people, a majority of them Tri-City residents. But staff said complaints have declined since the opening because many issues were dealt with by a community advisory committee that meets monthly, and by the Coquitlam RCMP, which is a member of the committee and visits the shelter daily. Sean Spear, associate director with operator RainCity Housing, said the majority of complaints were about one or two individuals with severe mental health concerns and while garbage and needles have been an issue the introduction of daily clean-ups have ensured that drug paraphernalia and refuse aren’t left in the neighbourhood. “The clean-up we are doing is a contribution to the community,” Spear said, noting that plans are in the works to expand the clean-up if funding is available. Meanwhile, Coquitlam RCMP said there hasn’t been a noticeable spike in crime since the shelter opened. see NO SPIKE, page 14

SYRIAN REFUGEES
Just over three years ago, as bombs dropped in Damascus, syria, leaving destruction and dead bodies in the rubble, two young fathers fled with families in tow — one to Jordan, one to Lebanon — eventually ending up in the Tri-Cities. Both are now working. Here are their stories.
‘Hire newcomers,’ says Phoenix owner A new home and a new job for Chikh Neameh DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
In a boardroom at Phoenix Truck and Crane in Coquitlam, 36-year-old Mohammed Chikh Neameh smiles broadly and talks about the emotional relief he feels on the first day of his new job. It’s been a long journey since Chikh Neameh left his home in Damascus, a journey fraught with fear for the safety of his wife and children. For three years, he tried to make a living as a restaurant worker in Jordan, but when the United Nations High Commission on Refugees offered him a chance to re-settle in Canada he jumped at the opportunity, after first looking up the location on Google Maps. Now, as he contemplates a future working first as a yard man and later possibly as a crane rigger at Phoenix, the young father feels he can finally relax. “Here you have hope, you can learn,” said Chikh Neameh as he nods to his new boss, Bill
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Mohammed Chikh Neameh, who started his new job at Phoenix Truck and Crane in Coquitlam on Monday, with his boss, Bill Dick. Chikh Neameh and his family arrived in Canada as government-sponsored Syrian refugees in December. Dick, who has taken the Syrian man under his wing. Dick, who started his company 25 years ago, said he believes his newest employee has what it takes to be a successful worker. He first spotted Chikh Neameh in a news broadcast after the Cottonwood fire.
“I want people to know that the Syrians out there are very bright, intelligent people and they are learning English,” said Dick, who expects his new worker to be properly trained in the latest safety standards as well as forklift operation. It was during the days after
the Cottonwood fire when Chikh Neameh, his wife, and two children, aged four and 18 months, fled their burning Coquitlam apartment building on the morning of July 28, that he was introduced to his new employer. At the time, the family was
trying to find housing in the Tri-City area after spending a few days at SFU and then at Welcome House in Vancouver. Now that the former shawarma cook has found housing for himself and his family in Port Coquitlam, he’s ready to take on his new job.
He’s even learning to drive and has his L. But the benefit of having a job goes beyond a steady income, Chikh Neameh said: More money will enable him to put his children in daycare for awhile so his wife can learn English, and, now that he has a job, he feels he is more of a contributing member of Canadian society. “The people here, they have a good community and beautiful smiles.” Last Saturday, he joined the Phoenix Truck and Crane staff for a paddle wheeler cruise and appreciation event, a chance to make friends with his new co-workers. Dick, meanwhile, sees the young man as someone who will be an asset to his company. The longtime Tri-City businessman would like to challenge other companies to hire Syrian refugees and will even offer to make introductions. “These are people who want to work,” Dick said. • To find out more or to receive an introduction, email Lora Covinha, general manager, at lora@phoenixtruckcrane.com. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
PASTA POLO
syrian refugee father makes pizzas with a smile From syria to Coquitlam, Aleid keeps on cooking DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
It’s hotter than a steam room outside but that doesn’t seem to worry Samer Aleid as he makes pizzas near a wood oven fired up to about 370 C. His smile is large as he hands over a delectable looking pizza chock full of cheese, meat and vegetables to a passing waitress. Not long ago, Aleid was making Arabic food in his hometown of Damascus, Syria, but civil war put an end to that. Now he works as a pizza chef at Pasta Polo Restaurant in Coquitlam, which is owned by
FRED SOOFI well-known restaurateur, Fred Soofi. “Too much war, it was not safe, too much shelling, I was afraid for my wife and children,” recalls Aleid, who left his country about three years ago for Lebanon. Taking a seat in a comfy booth, Aleid’s frown quickly returns to a smile. Clearly he’s
happy to be working, and in a restaurant, his chosen career. It was seven months ago that Aleid arrived in Coquitlam with his wife and two children, a girl, eight, and a boy, seven. Sponsored by the St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Parish, the young family quickly settled down in the Cottonwood area of Coquitlam, and their children started going to Roy Stibbs elementary school. But simply sitting around didn’t sit well with the energetic Aleid and so members of the parish sponsorship committee reached out to Soofi. It was a natural fit, the two say. For one thing, Aleid has a fairly high level of English language skills and he knows how to work with food, having been employed in restaurants in both Damascus and Lebanon. And Soofi, an immigrant
from Iran, quickly recognized a hard working, energetic man, who was not unlike himself when he first arrived in Canada 40 years ago. “He is a good positive worker and I understand that culture,” Soofi said. He was happy to give Aleid a chance and, after a month, is happy with his decision. “He’s one of my best people,” Soofi said. “I expected him to be disoriented. It’s not like that, he’s so appreciative, so curious about Canada and wants more information.” Soofi hopes that by telling his story, he will encourage other employers to reach out and hire newcomers. “We should learn more about those cultures. We should be more tolerant and help out where we can,” Soofi said.
sUMMer CAMP HOsTs reFUgee CHiLDreN
Dozens of immigrant and refugee children got to take part in a summer camp funded by the United Way to learn crafts, art, drama, cooking and make new friends. “Highlights for the kids were definitely making new friends, being involved in a new activity such as yoga, and our field trip to Science World,” said program coordinator Aman Burm. During a graduation party on Aug. 12, the 50 participating students from the Tri-Cities received special certificates and T-shirts they designed themselves.
GETTING AROUND
Tri-Cities participants in the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada program spent a day learning about the transit system this summer. The field trip to Vancouver was an opportunity to learn how to use the transit system and the Compass card.

The son of a couple photographed with garbage bags heading in to Mundy Park in Coquitlam said they were collecting bottles and did not dump the bags seen in a photo posted to Reddit earlier this week. Yan Lin said his parents, who come to stay with him for about six months every year, don’t speak English and have little to do during the day. They often walked in Mundy Park, which is near Lin’s home, and when they saw somebody collecting bottles they decided to do the same. “They want to make a little bit of extra money,” Lin said. “They don’t have much savings… and they don’t want to depend on me.” Lin said they walk around the neighbourhood and in Mundy Park just about every

He said both he and his parents were angered when they saw the stories saying they had dumped the garbage bags into an already over-

VEHICLE COLLISION
Nobody hurt in multi-vehicle SUMMER pile-up on Lougheed Highway IN THE 2016 Mechanical failure being investigated by police SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
A possible runaway SUV plowed into a major intersection in Coquitlam Tuesday night, resulting in a multivehicle pile-up. Just before 8 p.m. a white Kia SUV failed to stop while heading eastbound on Lougheed Highway toward Westwood Street. It struck a black BMW from the rear, then deflected into a stationary Toyota Yaris. The Yaris was then projected into another lane, where it hit two
other vehicles, one of which hit a Jeep. “There were multiple vehicles involved,” said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson. Several people were sent to hospital but “amazingly, after all of that there were no serious injuries reported.” The driver of the Yaris had to be extracted with the Jaws of Life but the woman, as well as the Kia driver, suffered minor injuries. Phillipson said police have seized the Kia and are investigating the possibility of mechanical failure. One lane of traffic was reopened a short time later to keep traffic flowing through the intersection.
wATer resCUe
Four people were rescued from Indian Arm Sunday afternoon shortly after a sudden squall tossed the group’s canoe and kayak into the chilly water. At close to 1 p.m. the Victoria Coast Guard alerted Coquitlam RCMP’s Rural and Marine Section that the sudden gust had caused two vessels to overturn, leaving four people stranded in the water. All four were located near the south end of Crocker Island by police and with the help of a charter vessel, were taken ashore and provided with dry clothes and hot food by a privately owned inn. “Thankfully everyone was wearing the proper safety equipment or else the outcome could have been far more tragic,” said Cpl. Justin Abels, NCO i/c of the Coquitlam RCMP Rural and Marine Section in a release. “Be prepared to extend your trip if you’re on the water and run into inclement weather. Wait out the storm rather than fight against it and always check the forecast prior to heading out on the water.”

The city of Coquitlam will be front and centre during a series of Sustainability Community Breakfasts on the topic of affordable housing planned for September.

MARY HILL BYPASS
Bear killed after getting hit by car
COQUITLAM
A black bear had to be shot Tuesday night after it was hit by a car on the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam near Pitt River Road. “The bear was in really bad shape. It was the only humane thing to do,” said Const. Jamie Phillipson who said the RCMP got the call around 11:30 p.m. by a driver of one of the cars that hit the bear who called 911. The first car that struck the black bear left the scene.
Some trails will be closed over several weeks
The B.C. Conservation Officer service and city bylaws typically handle bear complaints but Phillipson said police had to shoot the bear because conservation officers were too far away when the call came in. Police have been receiving many calls about black bears of late and he urged people to lock up their garbage and get rid of bear attractants. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Mundy Park trails getting an upgrade SUBMITTED PHOTO
This bear has been hanging around neighbourhoods near Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam. This photo was snapped by a resident of Colodin Close, not too far from where the bear was killed on the Mary Hill Bypass Tuesday night. Leaving garbage unlocked makes it easy for bears to get into, then they hang around neighbourhoods looking for more, BC Conservation officers say.
Mundy Park users can look forward to upgraded trails this fall after some periodic closures over the next several weeks. The maintenance work
will include resurfacing on the South Perimeter Trail, east from Waterline Trail to Austin Avenue and the Austin Trail, from the South Perimeter Trail out to Austin. The periodic closures will be in place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. until Sept. 16. For more information contact parks@coquitlam. ca or 604-927-6300.
“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC
Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil. By realizing full value, everyone will benefit. In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

OUR OPINION
Cameras on garbage cans?
W
hat needs to be done to stop people from dumping their garbage in city park trash bins? That question seems simple but it’s really complicated by the problem that we have not woken up to the fact that we are responsible for the waste we produce. But issues with consumption and packaging have caught up with us and we can no longer be ignorant. Yes, it’s a hassle to lock up our garbage, and freeze it, to keep it away from away bears, recycling is work, the dump is too expensive, and, with reduced garbage pick up, sometimes we have more garbage than space in the carts — and then what do we do? For some people, the easiest solution is to dump the excess in city trash bins, but when they over flow they attract bears so that’s no solution. Until people change their habits, more enforcement, including security cameras in parks, higher fines for dumping and garbage patrols may be the only answer.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? VOTE AT tricitynews.com/opinion/poll
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Do you think Coquitlam should put security cameras near park trash cans to stop illegal dumping?
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:
Do you think Coquitlam Coun. Dennis Marsden is in a conflict of interest as a director with KFN Enterprises?

eace. It’s an ever-more elusive commodity, or condition, these days. I don’t mean world peace. I’m pretty sure that never existed in the history of the human race, and in all likelihood, never will, unless we are all wiped off the planet by some super virus. And then peace would be rather moot, except for Mother Nature, who I’m sure would heave a great sigh of relief. No, I mean peace and quiet. Peace within oneself. Here’s a little secret. That sort of peace actually does exist. The wild west coast of this province is actually awash in it. You just have to go far and work hard to find it. And when you do, the peace is so big, so all-encompassing, so unthinkable, you sometimes realize you’ve spent hours not really thinking at all. One such place is the untrammelled coastline of Vancouver Island, reachable only by boat, or better yet, unmotorized craft such as a kayak. Ocean kayaking is not for the unfit and faint of heart. But if you’re the adventurous sort you can float on an
TC
ocean of peace, shared only with whales, and sea otters and the odd bear. Bears like their peace too, so with some assertiveness, you can come to a mutual, occasionally adrenaline-filled agreement on sharing a beach. What you don’t have to share is your thoughts. Nor do you have to put up with cellphone calls, pesky texts and torrents of inane Tweets. Actually, you have no choice. There are none. Much of the wild west coast of this country can be counted among the last remaining places on Earth that do not have cell service. What a blessed, wonderful thing. Many people would not agree. Especially the majority of young folks, who rarely can be spotted without a cellphone grafted to a hand. I couldn’t stand that. I like to have my hands free, ready to do something useful, like holding a paddle. The concept of mobile devices being utterly inoperable is clearly something that does exist in young people’s frame of reference. A case in point: We take a satellite phone on our pad-
dling expeditions, in case something goes badly wrong. That, and to assure family members — every other day or so — that we have not been swallowed by an orca, or blown offshore by gale force winds, on an irreversible course to Japan. Even satellite service can be spotty, though, and the signal was poor on our first call home. Our teen daughter had trouble hearing, and told us to call her on our cell. Under the circumstances, that was pretty funny. There’s little to no commercial radio reception out there either. So, for however long we are gone, the world will go about doing whatever it does, without us having a clue. For a journalist, you’d think that would be highly unsettling.In fact, I apply an old expression to that. No news is good news. I mean, what could happen, anyway? War breaks out in the Middle East? Olympic athletes are caught doping? Donald Trump is elected president of the United States? If the latter does actually occur, I’m loading up the kayak and heading back out to the wild west coast. Way out. Don’t try to call.

Locked garbage bins will not keep the bears away

Locks on garbage bins will not keep the smell from attracting bears to residential neighbourhoods, says one letter writer. tion of wildlife. Third, if bears know there’s garbage around, it won’t matter how many times they encounter a locked container. They will keep returning. And what about smells from kitchen windows and cookouts?

The Editor, Re. “Bears & garbage are why we have to get up early” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 19). I’m not sure Terry Roberts understood the complaint made by Patrick Maguire, and I was taken aback at the sarcastic tone of the letter. We all know about alarm clocks, but what about those who leave for work before 5:30 a.m.? And conjecture, like the statement that garbage “in all likelihood” led to the bear attack on a local child is not fact. Here are the facts. First, as Patrick stated in his letter, garbage containers are not kept indoors at most residences. Whether they are on the road at a certain time or in a driveway or carport makes no difference. Second, the locks on the containers do nothing but avoid potential messes. They do not have air tight seals so they in no way deter the attrac-
years
to get up early for trash?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 12). I think that it is Coquitlam city hall bureaucrats who need to be educated and not residents. This is democracy and not dictatorship. City hall is happy to collect fines in the name of totally absurd regulations, like not picking up ripe fruits. We don’t like to be told like kindergarten children what we can and can’t do. I and many of my neighbours fully support the letter writer and I call on the city to stop this nonsense with frivolous fines as we don’t like to be told when we must get up in the morning to put the garbage out for collection to satisfy this stupidity. Are we close to being told by city hall what time we can or cannot flush the toilet? Mark Sasik Coquitlam
WATERING
Water your trees, plants The Editor, To all citizens of the TriCities: please water your trees and hedges during this dry weather, including the ones on the boulevard in front of your home and stratas. Do it regularly, before the ground gets overly dry and won’t easily absorb the water when the rain does come. Coquitlam has lost a lot of trees in riparian areas and on private property in the last two years for a lot of reasons, and this is hap-
pening worldwide. The message of the opening ceremonies of the Rio Olympic Games was very appropriate. Playing and competing is great but humanity needs to start reversing the damage we’ve done to the planet by replanting trees one by one. Here in the Tri-Cities we should do what we can in our corner of the planet to minimize the impact of our human activity. Janet Klopp Coquitlam

HOMELESSNESS
Rental market in ‘critical’ condition Many became homeless in the last 12 months DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
The new shelter at 3030 Gordon Avenue in Coquitlam is feeling the effects of the housing affordability crisis as dozens of new clients needing a room and food have been homeless for less than a year. These are people who have little savings and find themselves on the street typically after a mental or family breakdown, said Sean Spear, associate director with RainCity Housing, which operates the shelter. About half or 29 of these newly homeless are from Coquitlam, while the rest of
the 61 people who have been homeless less than a year are from Port Coquitlam (18) and Port Moody (2). In all, the shelter has helped 124 people since it opened in December, 2015. Spear said the affordability issue is a concern, as are poverty, drug use and overdoses, which have been declared a public health issue. “We are dealing with challenges and it coincided with the time we are opening here,” Spear said. His comments mirror concerns raised by the Tri-Cities Homelessness and Housing Task Group in its April, 2016 report. The document notes the purchase price of the average home has increased “dramatically” since 2012 and Coquitlam is the second worst performer in the rental
housing index, with an overall rating of “critical.” Because incomes have not kept pace with the cost of rent and utilities, overcrowding is a problem and people are paying more than they can afford (more than 30% of their income on shelter costs). Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have “severe” ratings. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sean Spear, associate director with RainCity Housing, which operates the shelter and transition housing at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam, says the high cost of rental housing is pushing more people into the shelter.

Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson said officers have daily check-ins at the 3030 Gordon homeless shelter.
3030 GORDON
No spike in calls says, Coq. RCMP continued from front page
However, spokesman Const. Jamie Phillipson said there were problems initially, with local businesses upset about people loitering and crossing through their property. “The continuous message from us in the RCMP is we’d like to be that first call. If there is something happening in your neighbourhood that is negatively affecting your area or business, we would like to be that first call that you make.” And while some of the problems have been the result of growing pains, Phillipson said the police crime reduction unit takes seriously its role in combatting crime and visits the centre daily. If there is someone who has been banned, the police are there to make sure there is no retaliation. “We’re in this for the long haul. We’re not going to be reducing our visibility in the area anytime soon.” Still some are concerned
about drug use in the area. The Coquitlam homeless shelter does allow people with addictions to move in, but Spear said that’s the most humane approach because people are then connected with services and get help with medications; leaving them to live on the street just pushes the problem somewhere else. In fact 39 people were connected to rehabilitation and detox services so far this year. The shelter also has to abide by a city-mandated Good Neighbour policy and tenants are encouraged to be respectful of neighbours. As for drug use, it’s not allowed in the open and people can be banned if they do not comply. Spear also asked people to call the facility if they have a problem. “We’re really adamant: phone us, phone us,” he said. The shelter is open 24 hours, and the phone number is 604474-0435. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

KidSport Tri-Cities’ used sporting goods sale in Coquitlam last Saturday saw some crazy deals on athletic gear at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. And the biannual event drew plenty of shoppers wanting to suit up themselves and their kids for the next season, executive director Chris Wilson (right) said. The sale brought in more than 1,100 visitors and generated $18,000 for the non-profit organization — translating to at least 65 grants to pay for sporting registration fees for children under 18. “On top of that, we sent two truck loads of equipment to northern communities, provided some equipment to three refugee families and kept tons of used equipment out of the landfill,” Wilson, a Coquitlam city councillor, told The Tri-City News. As well, the group yielded 273 pounds of non-perishable items for the Share Family and Community Services’ food bank. Nearly 100 volunteers helped to organize the event over two days, Wilson said.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Great views make a long climb worth it STEVE CHAPMAN HIKE OF THE WEEK Munro & Dennett Lakes Rating: moderate Time needed: 6-7 hours. Length: 11 km Elevation gain: 1,100 m
T
he hike to Munro and Dennett Lakes is a fairly strenuous workout, but your efforts will be rewarded with fine sub-alpine lake scenery when you reach the upper plateau of Burke Mountain. A more detailed description of this hike can be found in Burke and Widgeon – A Hiker’s Guide by Lyle Litzenberger. The trail starts off Quarry Road, 3 km further on from the parking lot for Minnekhada Regional Park. Look out for a rocky path going up on your left opposite a pull-in on the side of the road. Parking at this trail head is roadside only. Follow the track upwards for 250 m and then take the trail that forks off to the right. The trail now climbs more steeply as it switchbacks up towards the upper plateau. The trail is well defined but in
some of the more open areas the path sides may be grown in a little. At the 500 m mark there is a viewpoint just off the main trail, but there is a better viewpoint at the 700 m mark. This requires a short detour (out and back) on the left branch where the trail splits. The climb is a long one, but after 800 m the trail will begin to flatten out and you will soon arrive at a complicated fourway junction. The way straight ahead is the old trail to the lake and is now decommissioned, so take the trail that goes right to Munro Lake. Half a kilometre of undulating terrain will bring you out on its marshy shores. The lake was dammed in the past, but now the lower water levels allow you to pass to the other side via a raised strip of land over to the north side. The trail now begins to climb steeply again up towards Dennett Lake. As the trail flattens out and becomes wet and marshy, look out for a side trail on the left. The junction is about 800m from Munro Lake. The side trail takes you to the Munro Lake Lookout, a spectacular viewpoint that looks down onto Munro Lake and beyond. This is a good spot to take lunch. After completing this “out and back” it’s just a short distance until you reach the shoreline of the more welldefined Dennett Lake. It is possible to retrace your steps here for the return journey, but a more interesting variation is to
head southwest along the lake shore for about 150 m and then take the trail that forks south from there (the main trail will take you up onto Burke Ridge). The route takes you through pleasant open meadows, but is very wet so waterproof footwear is recommended. After about a kilometre you will intersect with the Village Lake Trail, one of the more significant trails on the mountain. Turn left and follow this for 1 km to the four-way junction where you should retrace your tracks down the Munro Lake Trail to the road. Be careful to pick up the correct path down at this point (there are some basic signs) as an error here could lead you onto some tricky and steep terrain.

Bridal Falls Resort:
Cottages and Lots at Spectacular Value Now is the perfect time to snap up a brand new cottage on its own lot, surrounded by stunning scenery.
W
ith the hot real estate market extending from Vancouver in 2016, the impact on Chilliwack and Bridal Falls RV Cottage Resort has been significant. Valley residents have been snapping up cottages at record rates in this unique offering of a detached cottage on a private lot. “With the detached home price increases we have seen in Chilliwack this year, a brand new cottage in our resort stacks up as a tremendous value. When you consider the clubhouse, pool and other amenities the lifestyle opportunity for downsizers becomes a key factor in the decision to buy,” says Ron Sturm, owner/partner in the resort.
“Right now we can offer a great selection of the various lots in Phase 1, which have the best price and value, but that will not last much longer. Now is the best time to get involved.” Bridal Falls’ two-bedroom, two-bathroom plans are the country’s largest manufactured park model cottages, appealing to downsizers who have spent a lifetime living in a house and are not ready for a condo’s elevators, hallways and common living spaces. The resort’s amenities are anchored by an impressive 12,000-square-foot log cabin clubhouse that features a 50-seat private theatre, gym, game and card rooms, lounge, dance floor, library area and event facilities for weddings or business conference use. “There is also a 2,000-plus-square-foot sun deck overlooking the gardens, pool and hottub deck,” adds Sturm. Bill and Linda Nokes were sold as soon as they visited the resort. “When we saw the show cottage and how beautiful the setting was, we decided we wanted to live here full
time,” says Linda. “We’ve been in resorts in Phoenix, Arizona and throughout California, but we had never seen such gorgeous cottages along with all these amazing amenities. We were also impressed with the price, by far the best value compared to anywhere else in B.C.” The cottages feature fully covered decks, natural gas, a stainless steel kitchen appliance package and bedrooms with built-in storage. (Upgrades include a washer and drier, skylights and sliding patio doors.) Bridal Falls RV Cottage Resort is a yearround community where buyers have the option to live full time, lock and leave for part of the year, or put their cottage in the fully managed rental program. “We are the only year-round resort development in North America to offer 100amp service, cable and natural gas to every lot,” says Sturm. “But what distinguishes us from other cottage resorts is our location at the centre of the Fraser Valley recreation hub, only minutes away from everything.”
Bridal Falls is a Mecca for the outdoor enthusiast. You are minutes away from numerous lakes, including Cultus, Chilliwack and Harrison; the Fraser River with its world famous fishing, as well as golf courses, parks and the Bridal Falls Waterslides. In addition, you can bike or hike the many local trails or meander the Cheam Lake bird sanctuary. “There is salmon, sturgeon and fly fishing on the Fraser River, which is only five minutes away,” says Sturm, adding the staff can assist with guided fishing tours. You can own a brand new cottage starting from $229,900 plus tax. The Bridal Falls RV Cottage Resort Presentation Centre and Show Cottages are located on Cheam Road, in Bridal Falls, open daily from 11am to 4pm. Book a viewing – and bring your bathing suit, as everyone is welcome to cool down with a swim! For more information or to book a private viewing, call 604-745-4104, email info@discoverbridalfalls.com or visit www.discoverbridalfalls.com.

SYNCHRO PROVINCIALS
Swim teams from across British Columbia turned up in Coquitlam for the 2016 Synchronized Swimming Provincials at the City Centre Aquatic Complex last week.
FIGURE SKATING
MINOR HOCKEY
Silver for Austman at B.C. Super Series Second medal of the season for Coquitlam skater
The 2016-17 competitive figure skating season is off to a strong start for Larkyn Austman. The 18-year-old Coquitlam Skating Club member took silver at the Super Series B.C. Summer Skate last week in Burnaby, posting a combined score of 154.49. The award is her second silver medal of the year after taking second in the Wild Rose Summer Competition in Edmonton last month.
Austman has had a busy year at the rink. In the middle of 2015, she rejoined the Coquitlam AUSTMAN Skating Club after taking some time off following a season spent training with Christy Krall in Colorado Springs. Previously, she was the 2013 junior national champion and she represented Canada at the 2014 World Junior Championships. Austman was not the only Coquitlam Skating Club
member to medal at the Super Series competition last week. Ron Vainer took home bronze in the juvenile men’s category and had won a silver at the Wild Rose Summer Competition in July. He finished his program in Burnaby with a score of 22.92, behind Shohei Law, who took second with a 23.47 and Brendan Wong, who took first with 24.90. Coquitlam Skate Club member Cassandra Chow also competed in Burnaby, finishing 12th in her second pre-novice event, while Diana Hong finished eighth in the junior women category. sports@tricitynews.com

B.C. SWIM MEET
Big medal haul for Sharks Coquitlam Sharks swimmer Cassidy Gray won five gold medals at the Speed Swimming Provincial Championship last week. The 12-year-old Division 3 athlete broke the record in the 50 m freestyle and with her medley relay team adding to a collection of medals she picked up at last week’s regionals, where she won first in the 50 m freestyle, the 50 m backstroke, the 50 m fly, the 100 m freestyle and both medley and freestyle. But Gray was not the only Shark to pickup some hardware at the provincials. Hailey Snaith took silver in the 50 m freestyle and bronze
in the 50 m breaststroke in the Division 1 category, while Derex Yang grabbed silver in the 50 m fly and bronze in the 50 m backstroke. Division 2 swimmer Cara Seo-Jin Yun swam away with gold in the 50 m fly and was part of a medley team that won bronze, while Ryan Chang took gold in the Division 2 category in the 50 m breaststroke event. The Sharks Division 4 team made up of Anna Sohi, Mourne Clements, Yun and Gray won gold in the 200 m medley and freestyle relays and Keita Bodrogi won a bronze in 100 m breaststroke and helped his medley re-
gional relay take gold. In Division 5, swimmer Sarah Lee earned a total of four medals, taking silvers in both the 100 m backstroke and 100 m breaststroke and bronzes in the 200 individual medley and 200 m medley relay. Nathaniel Bennett also had a large medal haul. The Division 6 swimmer took silver in the 100 m and 50 m fly, silver in the boys medley and helped earn gold in the 200 m medley regional relay. Chase Addison also had a strong swim meet in the Division 7 category, winning gold in the 100 m breaststroke, while the Division 7 girls team

won bronze in the 200 m freestyle and medley relays. Mitchell Kilmaster also won gold in both the 50 m and 100 m freestyle and silver in the 50 m and 100 m fly. Haley Bredin took silver in the 200 m individual medley, the 100 m backstroke and the 100 m freestyle, while Hattie Sun took gold in the 200 m individual medley, 100 m fly, 100 m backstroke, 50 m fly and all three relays. The Coquitlam Sharks water polo teams took gold in the under-14, under-16, and under-16 plus, while grabbing silver in the under-12. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews
A former Coquitlam-Metro Ford soccer product will join the Simon Fraser University Clan for the upcoming season. Marcello Polisi, captain of the Vancouver Whitecaps under-18 team and a longtime member of its residency program, signed with SFU last week and will begin training with the team immediately, said men’s soccer head coach Clint Schneider. “My coaching staff worked very hard identifying Marcello as a player and building a strong relationship with him and his family,” said the coach. “He has all the qualities in a footballer we are looking for and his personality fits our team’s culture.” Polisi, who was challenging for a roster spot with Whitecaps FC2, turned down many NCAA Division 1 offers to play for Canada’s NCAA team. He is expected to have an immediate impact, playing significant minutes, and bolstering the Clan’s push for a Great Northwest Athletic Conference title and berth in the NCAA tournament. The 5’10” Coquitlam athlete is a ball-playing defensive midfielder who is confident and composed on the pitch, said Schneider. He added that Polisi excels at getting the ball and
beginning the buildup for his team. He will complement attacking midfielders and 2015 POLISI GNAC First Team All-Conference players Adam Jones, Kyle Jones and Mamadi Camara and mid-field captain Ryan Dhillion, a medical redshirt in 2015. “Marcello’s signing gives us another important piece to what I consider one of the best midfield groups in the NCAA,” said Schneider. In addition to playing within the Whitecaps residency program, Polisi was called up to the Canadian National under15 club for the Copa Mexico de Naciones Sub-15, a tournament in Ciudad de Mexico in 2012, and he had trials with the Belgian Pro League club Royal Standard de Liège’s youth system. “I love to create chances for my teammates but I am also very good at protecting my four,” said Polisi. “I win second balls and I am a very strong physical presence.” sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews
