Evergreen to open by Christmas Park-and-ride lot to be built across from Coq. city hall JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

While there’s still no definitive date, the long-awaited Evergreen Line through Port Moody and Coquitlam “will open sometime before Christmas.” That was the pledge Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer made yesterday at a press conference at Coquitlam city hall, where the province also announced it would finance a park-and-ride lot across the street. “We see a light at the end of the tunnel,” joked Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart at the press conference, a gathering

that included mostly government employees, city councillors and business advocates. “Thank you for that Christmas present.” The news of the earlierthan-anticipated opening — which is still late, considering the initial planned completion date of 2014 and a second one of summer 2016 — was especially welcomed by representatives of Douglas College, which has a campus near the Lafarge Lake-Douglas station, and of Evergreen Cultural Centre, an arts hub located at the terminus of the line. Hazel Postma, Douglas’ vice-president of external relations, told The Tri-City News the late fall opening of the $1.43-billion rapid transit alignment will allow Douglas students to ride the rails before the winter semester starts. see PARKING, page 6

2016 TERRY FOX RUN

It takes a nation to fight cancer, and that’s what Canada is doing Part 1 in a three-part series… JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Nine years ago, after moving from Port Coquitlam to Hudson, Que., a town 60 km west of Montreal, Diane Neupert and her husband Erich read a plea from the Terry Fox Foundation in the local newspaper. A community run organizer was desperately needed for the town of 5,000 residents or the annual event would be cancelled, the article stated. Diane Neupert looked at her spouse. He knew what she was thinking. “How hard could it be?” she asked. Having grown up in B.C. and followed the PoCo hero as he ran across Canada in 1980 to raise money for cancer — a disease that claimed her own mother — Neupert sprang into action. She contacted the provincial office to volunteer her and Erich’s services. The municipal staff were helpful, she remembered, and many townsfolk came to her aid. Since 2008, the pair has organized every Terry Fox Run in Hudson. “I feel like we had to do it for everybody who has been affected by cancer,” the Centennial secondary graduate said. “We have to make sure we find a cure.” Neupert’s story about how Fox touched her life is one of millions across Canada. In every corner of the country, someone will recall the day Fox died and how their view of cancer changed because of his him. Today, more than half a billion dollars has been raised in Canada for cancer research in Fox’s name and medical breakthroughs are being made regularly by scientists connected to the Terry Fox Research Institute. One of its new projects is called PROFYLE, an acronym for PRecision Oncology For Young PeopLE — a program that will transform the care of young cancer patients by using molecular tools to identify biomarkers that are targets for therapy. The funding from the Terry Fox community and school runs is vital to this kind of research, said Donna White, the provincial director of the BC/ Yukon Terry Fox Foundation, which has its office in Port Coquitlam.

Last year, the BC/Yukon branch collected $2.5 million from community and school events in Fox’s name — the third largest tally after Ontario ($10 million) and Alberta ($3 million). Martha McClew, Ontario’s provincial director, said the spirit of Terry’s Team members — those who are cancer patients and survivors, like White — is heartwarming. “Not a day goes by that I don’t feel inspired, uplifted, motivated by the stories that are shared with us by our Terry’s Team members,” she said. “There is no room for self-pity,

tiredness or any other minor complaint when you read what thousands of Canadians are living through and with every day.” McClew added: “Not all have a hopeful prognosis but every single one of them is signing up to participate in the run, to actively do something to not only help themselves but also help others.” White said no two run years are the same: Each is inspirational and each brings out new people who may be hearing Fox’s story for the first time.

Foundation in Newfoundland and Labrador, which last year brought in nearly $355,000 through 41 community runs, 175 school events and 10 special activities, said she’s encouraged Fox’s message has resonated with newcomers and students. In Nova Scotia, which last year raised $650,000 from 63 community runs and 347 school events, the province is “seeing quite a few younger people take leadership in both our community and school Terry Fox Runs,” said provincial director Barbara Pate. “This increases each year in Nova Scotia and we are very pleased

Saskatchewan provincial director Heather Mackenzie said she’s also excited to build on Terry’s legacy, being new to the role. This year, she’s responsible for 54 community runs, 550 school runs and 65 special events, along with 11 new run organizers. Provincial director Gwen Smith-Walsh said she has registered 40 more community and school runs in New Brunswick this year and four more in

Prince Edward Island. Last year, for the 35th anniversary, Canadians travelled from all over to participate in the Terry Fox Run across Confederation Bridge, she said. “To date, it is the largest run ever in the Terry Fox [Foundation] history, with over 10,000 participants in one particular run location. People from all over our nation — as well as some from the U.S. — flocked to this unique event.” jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

EVERGREEN LINE

Parking at corner of Pinetree, Guildford continued from front page

“Unfortunately, our students have to drive to get between our two campuses now,” she said, referring to the New Westminster site, “so we are very pleased we will be able to get on board sooner.” Jon-Paul Walden, executive director of the Evergreen Cultural Centre, also said the announcement “is a huge relief. At least we have an idea now of when this will open and we can plan ahead to get our patrons in from all over the region.” Neither Postma nor Walden said they’re worried commuters accessing the Lafarge LakeDouglas station will use their facilities’ parking lots. It was also announced yesterday that commuters will soon be able to park their vehicles in a new $5-million park-and-ride lot. The 110stall parking lot will be located under the Evergreen Line guideway, on city land, directly east of city hall on Pinetree Way; another 40 spots dedicated for Evergreen riders will be available on the surrounding streets, she said.

DON ROSE, TRANSLINK

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The map shows the location of 110 stalls in a park-and-ride lot at the corner of Guildford and Pinetree ways, across the street from Coquitlam city hall and walking distance to two Evergreen Line stations. The topic of where Evergreen Line commuters would park in City Centre was a hot-button issue during this year’s provincial byelection in the riding of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain (Premier Christy Clark told

The Tri-City News then that commuters would be accommodated and the bus network would be integrated, although that network is controlled by TransLink, not the province). Stewart said the new park-

and-ride, which will be built by the city, won’t affect nearby homeowners along Glen Drive and Westwood Street. That land is zoned in the official community plan (OCP) for highrise towers, he said.

TransLink board chair Don Rose, who drove to the news conference in a silver BMW, said the 11-km Evergreen Line will be a boon for Metro Vancouver, providing more public transit options “and fewer people in cars.” Rose also thanked TriCity residents for putting up with the construction of the Evergreen Line and invited them on board. The fully automated line is expected to carry 70,000 passengers a day by 2021. It will be the newest rapid-transit line to open since the Canada Line began operations in 2009, in time for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

The Evergreen Line is being built by the province, which will turn it over to TransLink to operate. It went ahead after years of haggling between the province and Metro Vancouver mayors, who finally agreed in 2011 to raise the Metro Vancouver gas tax two cents a litre to finance TransLink’s $400-million share of the cost. According to a government press release, the Evergreen Line is now more than 90% complete and will have 650 new parking stalls around the Lafarge Lake-Douglas, Moody Centre and Coquitlam Central stations. Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, who was not at Thursday’s news conference, told The Tri-City News afterward his city’s staff are now ramping up parking strategies and other transportation plans for what he expects will be a mid- to late-November opening of the Evergreen Line. Port Moody civic managers will also be in touch with TransLink to talk about changes to bus routes as a result of the preChristmas opening, he said. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

COQUITLAM

Self-serve coming to Coquitlam? Not yet Council sends the issue back to gas station industry GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Rules prohibiting self-serve gas stations will stay on the books in Coquitlam for the foreseeable future unless industry stakeholders can come up with a strategy for improving service for drivers. City manager Peter Steblin told council that staff resources are not available to do a proper analysis of the regulations and any work on the file would mean re-prioritizing the municipality’s current work plan. Instead, council voted unanimously Tuesday to refer a zoning text amendment sought by Chevron Canada allowing self-serve at its two Coquitlam locations back to staff. The applicant will then be directed to join other members of the industry in bringing a comprehensive plan back to the city. When Coun. Terry O’Neill raised the question of whether there was precedent for asking for this kind of work from industry stakeholders, Mayor

COUN. CRAIG HODGE Richard Stewart responded by saying it was “not unheard of.” “We are really looking for more of a consensus position from industry before we spend any staff time on it,” Stewart said. The city’s service station regulations date back to 1959 and the issue around a lack of self-service has cropped up many times over the years. The most recent push came last summer, when Chevron said it would ask the city to allow self-service. “We wanted to get staff’s attention,” company spokesperson Adrien Byrne told The Tri-City News at the time. “The broad industry has been advocating change. It never really made much progress… Looking at the economics of it, we have

decided to go it alone. “ Several councillors expressed an openness to changing the rules but there are still concerns about how the elderly and disabled will be affected. The split-island model, which has some pumps operating as full-serve and others operating as self-serve, has been proposed, but even that could pose some issues, according to Coun. Craig Hodge. He noted that in some jurisdictions, full-serve is more expensive, meaning those who are unable to pump their own gas would be penalized. Hodge asked staff whether it was possible to look at mandating that the prices remain the same for both services. “That is a slippery slope,” said Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development, in response to Hodge’s question. “We start getting into setting policy and regulations that affects how a business conducts its business… I would not want to be using the zoning bylaw to get at the price points for full serve and self serve gas.” For now, the city will await a response from the industry. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

COQUITLAM RECREATION

Curling club to make case to stay at Poirier GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Members of the Coquitlam Curling Association (CCA) are calling on the city to rethink a draft arena services strategy that would phase out curling at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The document calls for centralizing curling in the Tri-Cities at the Port Moody facility in order to increase the ice surface capacity in Coquitlam for other sports, including hockey and figure skating. Earlene Graham, the CCA president, said the plan is shortsighted and would create a burden for the hundreds of young people, adults and seniors who curl at the Coquitlam arena. “I know we are going to get the short end of the stick,” she said. “If they put us down to Port Moody, it won’t be viable.” The uncertainty around the future of curling in Coquitlam could not come at a worse time for the club, Graham said, as CCA is currently in the middle of its annual membership drive and some people have been reluctant to participate given that the club could be moving next year. Graham acknowledges that overall membership numbers

Team Scott’s Shannon Aleksic during the finals of the 2016 Scotties Tournament of Hearts B.C. in January in Coquitlam. have declined over the last few years, which she blamed on a lack of support from the city. She said it is important the community ensures there are activities for people of all ages, particularly with the 55+ Games coming to town and a push to get seniors to be more active. “I can teach a 70-year-old and have them curling on the ice for 20 years,” she said. “You can’t do that for a hockey player. You can’t do that for a figure skater. Somewhere, [the city] has lost the big picture.” Coquitlam council was set to vote on the draft arena services strategy Tuesday but the matter was deferred to give the CCA more time to present its posi-

tion. Graham said she will make the case for curling at Poirier at an upcoming council meeting. The city’s plans first came to light in February, when staff said it was considering phasing out curling to maximize arena ice time. Staff noted that low participation rates mean the sport is heavily subsidized by taxpayers, with a cost recovery for curling at 20% compared to 60% for other ice arena uses. Michelle Hunt, the city’s parks and recreation planning and business services director, said there are currently 4.1 sheets of prime-time ice available but there is demand for 4.6. That gap is expected to widen by 2025, she added, increasing to between 5.2 and 5.6 ice sheets before tapering off to 4.7 to five in 2035. The draft arena services strategy said that Port Moody’s curling club has the capacity to absorb the Coquitlam members. “Port Moody Curling Club is currently experiencing issues with securing volunteers to operate the club and increased membership would help with club operations, junior programs and event,” said a staff report. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Officers on lookout for bear attractants DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Days after a black bear cub was struck by a car near Colony Farm Road in Coquitlam, conservation officers are ramping up a campaign to make sure homeowners and businesses aren’t leaving bear attractants out for bruins to find. Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service said officers will be joining forces with Tri-City bylaw officers targeting neighbourhoods with bear problems and garbage issues and handing out

fines for any infractions. “Be reminded you could find us coming around and we will be ticketing a $230 fine if we see there are attractants left out on your property.” For non-compliance, fines of $575 can be applied possibly followed by a court order with even larger fines depending on the case, Hunter said. Businesses as well as residents will be targeted in the blitz. The campaign leads up to WildSafe BC’s program to raise awareness about the problem of animal attractants and the role of conservation officers in

SETTING IT STRAIGHT Re. “Flinn survey says…” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 7). The referenced story inaccurately stated that extending David Avenue through Bert Flinn Park was the least popular option among survey respondents; in fact, among the 177 qualified respondents, it ranked fourth among seven options given. For more on the online survey, go to www. savebertflinnpark.ca.

WHO SAYS CONFIDENCE CAN’T BE BEAUTIFUL?

protecting wildlife. Todd said the program running Sept. 17 and 18 will be called BC Goes Wild and will take place across the province with information, officer patrols and other events. “There’s a lot of work going on between communities, such as information sessions, enforcement actions and you can expect even COs to be out providing education and enforcement during that weekend.” The death of a black bear cub on Lougheed Highway was the second fatality involving a collision with a car in recent

weeks. In the latest incident, a driver hit and killed the cub shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday morning and left the scene. Hunter said this is the time of year when collisions with black bears are most likely to occur because it gets dark sooner and bears are out looking for food. “What people can do to avoid collisions is to drive according to speed limits,” he said, “and if it’s a dimly lit area, you should drive to the conditions.”

COQUITLAM COUNCIL

Marsden quits KFN GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Coun. Dennis Marsden has resigned his position with KFN Enterprises, saying he did not want to be a distraction for the work being carried out by the organization. Marsden joined the economic development body for the 82-member Kwikwetlem First Nation in May but the role could have potentially landed him in conflict as a city councillor and vice-chair of the city’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee. The band currently has an Aboriginal title claim before the B.C. Supreme Court for a parcel of traditional territory that includes Riverview Hospital, the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, Colony Farm and Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. According to its website, KFN Enterprises is a holding company that handles land development, commercial and light industrial property management and venture capital financing on behalf of the Kwikwetlem. Marsden said that group was set up to separate the business

COUN. DENNIS MARSDEN side of the First Nation with the political side. KFN Enterprises is owned by the band and is overseen by Kwikwetlem First Nation Chief Ron Giesbrecht and civil project consultant David Leitch. Marsden told The Tri-City News on Wednesday that he left the position with KFN Enterprises approximately two weeks ago despite being told by his legal counsel that he could fulfill both roles. “There were no legal issues. Clearly, there were political gamesmanship issues. I felt that that didn’t need to be a distraction so I stepped away.” But the day before, he said nothing about having left KFN

during a Coquitlam committee of the whole meeting when Coun. Chris Wilson put forward an agenda item seeking clarification on Marsden’s role with the body. Wilson also said council was not able to provide feedback on the appointment because councillors were unaware that Marsden had taken the director role with the group. Several of Wilson’s council colleagues echoed his remarks. “I was taken aback,” Coun. Mae Reid said after reading about the appointment in The Tri-City News last month, later adding: “We weren’t consulted.” Coun. Bonita Zarrillo went one step further, asking staff and the city’s legal counsel to look into the matter. “I would just like to see if we could all just have it reviewed by in house council and have the whole air cleared,” she said. She was interrupted by Mayor Richard Stewart, who stated that seeking legal advice on any manner is an issue that needs to be discussed in closed-door council meetings. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

OUR OPINION

Cure vs. illness

he long-awaited court challenge involving Canada’s medical system could change the way health care is delivered. Dr. Brian Day of the private Cambie Surgery Centre is challenging B.C.’s ban on the purchase of private insurance for medically necessary services, arguing the restriction violates patients’ constitutional rights. Day says people should be able to pay to avoid waiting lists and efficiencies will result while critics argue that queue-jumping will create a two-tier system, with private clinics drawing doctors and nurses from the public system and poorer people waiting longer for services. There are clearly limits to what the Canadian health care system can provide and with costs rising for everything from surgical equipment to salaries and pharmaceuticals, there is a concern the system will crack under heavy demand. But Day’s cure is risky, and arguably worse than the illness. We’ll have to wait to see this groundbreaking case through to the end before we find out if judges buy his claim.

Some bear advice from longtime mountain dweller O AS I SEE IT

n bears in our community, the message needs to be this: Welcome to Coquitlam, on the doorstep of super, green, natural B.C. During our 23 years of residence on Burke Mountain, my neighbours and I have seen bears, cougars, raccoons, bobcats, deer, coyotes, a wolf, a red fox and wild rabbits. The area is also home to many reptiles and amphibians. A food chain exists. We coexist with the wild animals, understanding that this is their neighbourhood and we live in it, not the other way around. Black bears forage the open areas that support their natural food sources: berries, fruit, insects, roots, clover blossoms, spawning salmon, etc. Our family enjoyed noisily hiking all over “our” mountain, never encountering a bear, which prefer to avoid humans. Our obligation as residents of Canada is to help keep our wild animals wild by doing our part to properly maintain our fruit trees and gardens, handle garbage and litter appropriately and responsibly, and keep our distance from the animals, which can be unpredictable. Even deer can be aggressive, known to stomp

people and dogs using sharp hooves. So what’s the big deal if a bear gets into your garbage? Human garbage is dangerous to bears. When they find syrup or meat juices on packaging like cellophane, plastic, foil and Styrofoam, they don’t pick through and just lick it off, they eat it completely. They can’t digest that material, so it lines their stomach and intestinal tracts, preventing them from getting any nourishment. Thus, the bear that habitually eats human garbage risks becoming desperately hungry and dangerous, cranky and aggressive as it tries to eat even as it is starving to death. This is especially the plight of bears hanging out at dumps in B.C.’s Interior. Drake Stephens, the former Coquitlam Bear Aware co-ordinator, told us all, for years, that bears have the intelligence of 11-year-old humans. They are clever and opportunistic, and can learn certain skills, like opening car doors and garbage bins — and they teach their young. If they can access human garbage, they soon learn that hanging around our homes gives them a good chance for an easy snack, especially on garbage day, which in their own way they keep track of.

Bears smell food from many kilometres away and if a bear smells something potentially good to eat, it will investigate. Determining the source of the delectable smell is inaccessible, it will move on but won’t communicate that to other bears in the area. Keep your kitchen waste and garbage bins in your enclosed garage or you will have different bears coming to investigate. Check your yard before letting children out to play, making lots of noise when heading out. Healthy bears will not hang about. Let out a whoop every so often if mountain biking, hiking alone, on a windy day or near rushing water. They have exceptional hearing and will move off. Do not surprise black bears and make sure they can escape from you. If you do surprise a bear, speak in a calm voice to identify yourself and back away slowly. Their sight is terrible. If you see a wild animal while driving and you would like to enjoy watching it, pull to a safe place completely off the road and stay in your car, where you are protected. Mother bears will safeguard their young with their lives so never get between a sow with a cub or move toward them.

BERT FLINN PARK

It’s not time yet to decide about road The Editor, Re. “Flinn survey says…” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 7). Next Tuesday, Port Moody city council will be considering the following motion by Coun. Rob Vagramov: “That the road right-of-way bisecting Bert Flinn Park [commonly referred to as the David Avenue Connector] no longer be designated a road right-of-way.” In his buildup to his resolution, Coun. Vagramov claimed, “The original purpose of the road right-of-way bisecting Bert Flinn Park [commonly referred to as the David Avenue Connector] has been abandoned.” This is misleading, Coun. Vagramov — you know full well that you were talking about ancient history, prior to Bert Flinn Park, and that the David Avenue connection is alive and well in the current OCP. As part of the reasoning to present this resolution, Coun. Vagramov claimed, “The community has displayed overwhelming support for the

GERRY NUTTALL unification of Bert Flinn Park, as well as strong opposition to the construction of a roadway in the future.” Not true — the people attending the previous meeting were expressing their views, supporting one side of the issue. Thousands of others, particularly along the Ioco Road corridor, were sitting comfortably in their homes, confident that the current policy of council would protect them. That policy states that no new traffic would be allowed along Ioco until the David

Avenue connector is complete. The fact is that, until now, all we have are some comments from a group calling itself Save Bert Flinn Park. I have seen its website and spoken with the founder. I believe that, from the group’s perspective, it is making some points that deserve discussion. (For those of you interested, the survey titled “Ioco Road Corridor Residents Survey” was put out by that same group. Personally, I thought the questions were biased towards their cause and so did not partake.) Who we haven’t heard from is the prospective developers of the Ioco lands. A responsible council will maintain the status quo until presented with the official development plan. Only then, when all the information is gathered, would any motions as to the future of the David Avenue connector be appropriate. Sorry, Coun. Vagramov, your timing is off. Gerry Nuttall, Port Moody

VOLUNTEER CANCER DRIVERS

Help drivers help patients The Editor, Re. “Cancer drivers needed ($, too)” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 2). I am a mother of two school-aged children. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last November. After my operation in January, my chemotherapy treatments were to start at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver in May. We wondered how we would juggle one vehicle between picking up and dropping off kids, dad going to work as well as going to the north shore. By good luck, my friend

told me about the Volunteer Cancer Drivers’ Society, which she happened to see on TV. The group is still new, so the funding is tight. With that in mind, I made a donation. I have been given rides by several different volunteers from the Tri-Cities, who are all friendly and dedicated people. Right now, they take me to Surrey for radiation therapy appointments. Just the other day, one driver went over the Port Mann Bridge six times to take me and other patients to different sets of appointments.

Things like this don’t happen often, he said, but more volunteer drivers would be helpful in situations like this. Big cancer organizations receive donations from many sources but the great achievements made by those organizations are more valuable only when patients can access the services with ease. I’m planning to ask my children’s school if it can raise money for the Volunteer Cancer Drivers’ Society to help our neighbours this fall. I hope you can help them, too. Michiyo White, Coquitlam

GARBAGE PICKUP

PoCo, PM provide service The Editor, Re. “$500 a steep fine for senior’s first offence” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 2). It is unfortunate that the letter writer, Ms. Raymond received, an expensive ticket for a minor infraction. Sometimes, a willingness to obey the law doesn’t translate to an ability to comply with the law.

Port Coquitlam and Port Moody will pick up, empty and replace garbage cans for those with physical or medical problems. Although Coquitlam doesn’t offer this accommodation, I believe if Ms. Raymond contacts the appropriate department or the mayor’s office a solution can be found. The city may

also wish to cancel the ticket. If garbage trucks followed a regular and consistent route, one would have an approximate idea of when pick-up would occur. After all, there’s no point in putting out cans at 5:30 a.m. if pick-up isn’t until noon. Terry Roberts, Port Coquitlam

Demolition of a 1950s building on the Riverview Hospital grounds in Coquitlam is underway. The former hospital is being razed by BC Housing, the provincial government agency responsible for the 244-acre Riverview site, to make way for two new buildings to replace three mental health care facilities in Burnaby. A BC Housing spokesperson said the hard demolition started Aug. 31 and the materials removal “is expected to take some time.” The project falls under the purview of B.C.’s Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services. The teardown comes as the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society hosts its the 23rd annual Treefest at Riverview on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is also set against the backdrop of the next phase for Riverview, which involves a massive redevelopment of the site. As well, there is an outstanding claim against the land from the Kwikwetlem First Nation.

COQUITLAM

Meeting on future of Smaller offices in Coronation Park Thurs.

works for former Fraser Mills site GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The Beedie Group is moving forward with its proposed development at Fraser Mills but with a much smaller commercial component than originally envisioned. During a committee meeting with Coquitlam council Tuesday afternoon, representatives from the company said economics would not allow for the multi-storey office structures that were included when the proposal first came to council in 2008. “We thought Fraser Mills could support a multi-level office market,” said Todd Yuen, who is responsible for planning, sales and leasing for all new Beedie developments. “For a chance of success, an office development needs to have immediate access to SkyTrain. This reality required a pivot on our part.” Instead, the company showed renderings of a one-storey structure with

COUN. BRENT ASMUNDSON a small mezzanine. A staff report noted that this is the second time Beedie has come to council requesting more scaled-down industrial buildings be built instead of the multi-storey structures originally envisioned for the site. Some councillors expressed concern with Beedie’s proposal, with Coun. Brent Asmundson pointing out that some tech jobs, such as those at Electronic Arts building in Burnaby, do not require immediate access to SkyTrain.

He also noted that the company committed to building space that would allow for 1,500 jobs in the original plan. “Our intention is to fulfill that obligation,” said Ryan Beedie, the president of the Beedie Group. “There would be no change.” Yuen added that the development would still be able to attract the higher-level jobs that council is seeking through its light industrial program. He noted that AG Hair would be moving its head office to the area and that buildings in the development could accommodate specialty employees, like bakers, who would work on multiple shifts. “These are not the kinds of jobs you pay minimum wage to,” he said. The changes proposed by Beedie mean that the project will have to go back to a public hearing.

PoMo residents will be able to fill out survey for city A land use plan for the Coronation Park neighbourhood in Port Moody will be revealed at a public meeting next Thursday. The long-awaited plan will plot the future of the small pocket of land — which currently holds mostly singlefamily homes — that will be within walking distance of the Inlet Centre Evergreen Line Station when the rapid transit line opens later this year. The area was left out of the official community plan update after council recognized the neighbourhood needed its own consultation. Now, after a planning process that began several months ago, the city

is ready to suggest proposals for the area, including greater density and public park space. “Our first open house in May gave Port Moody residents and stakeholders a chance to comment on a variety of potential development scenarios, as well as key issues like parks and transportation,” Mayor Mike Clay said in a press release. “The input we received has helped us get to this next, important stage. We have a recommended land use concept ready for viewing, and we want people to come and take a look, and tell us what they think.” At the Sept. 15 meeting, PoMo city staff will present a summary of public survey results from the first Coronation Park Neighbourhood Plan open house, followed by the recommended land use concept and draft policies that

Coquitlam mom’s research led to skincare biz DIANE STRANDBERG

MADE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam mother took her spring cleaning to a higher level when she threw out her antiperspirant and face creams after looking at the ingredients. Then she made her own. After researching body care products, Christine Kizik became concerned about using creams and deodorants with chemicals that could be absorbed in the skin. And so with the help of her husband, Eran Even, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, she experimented with Chinese herbs, bees wax and oils pressed from nuts and seeds to see if she could make skin care products and a deodorant that were just as effective but less harmful to the body. “It hit me, ‘What is in here?,’” the former Port Moody teacher recalls, “I realized I had no idea what the vast majority of the ingredients were, then it was like a rabbit hole,” she said, describing months of research and experimentation. Always into making her own jams, salsa, pottery and even knitwear, Kizik looked into the science behind body care products and thought she could come up with something that was good for the skin and safe for the environment. “I’m a person who goes for it because I think I can.” Sola Skincare (solaskincare.

Coquitlam’s Christine Kizik, owner of Sola Skincare (solaskincare.com), with some of the personal care products she makes by hand with natural ingredients. com) is the result, an online company that offers a variety of body care products such as moisturizers, cleansing grains, balms and even a coconut deodorant, and none of them

Market in Port Coquitlam, at the Coquitlam Farmers Market, on her website and through online stores that share a similar vision of natural health and body care. To get noticed, Kizik got her

friends to support her and has made connections through various forums for entrepreneurs, such as the Tri-City Moms Facebook group, the TriCity Entrepreneur Collective and the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs. Kizik said she has benefited from the knowledge of entrepreneurs she has met, some who are already successful, such as Suzanne Siemens, co-founder of lunapads.com, a company that sells natural products for menstrual care, and newcomers like herself who are just starting out. But when her popular coconut deodorant went viral after it was promoted on CTV’s Marilyn Denis Show, Kizik found she was a victim of her own success. While her husband was in China, Kizik struggled to get all the orders into the mail. (She’s now simplified by signing up for Shopify, which should streamline the accounting and the shipping). The coconut deodorant is made of ingredients that absorb

Why Rotary?

Rotarians are volunteers from your home community building a network of friends who share skills and passions to make a difference at home and around the world. Rotarians think globally and act locally. Are you interested in joining this global network of 1.2 million business and professional leaders from over 200 countries, all volunteering their time and talents to serve their communities and the world?

How do you become a member of Rotary

Reasons why you should join a Rotary Club

What are the qualifications for membership?

Rotary is a community of friends who are committed to creating positive change in the world. You’ll make valuable connections with community leaders who care about the issues facing your community and your world. And you’ll have the chance to apply your personal experience and professional skills to solve these challenges and create positive change. As a member, you’ll find opportunities to network and develop your professional skills. You can take the lead in developing projects, organizing events, and running your club. Through these activities, you’ll hone your project planning skills, improve your public speaking, and even learn new skills, like public relations, social media, and fundraising. You’ll spend time with friends and make new ones every week! Make it a family affair. Members are encouraged to invite their spouse or partner, children, and parents to help with service projects and attend club events. Rotary offers opportunities for all ages - from young leaders in their 20’s and 30’s to senior members of the business and local community.

Individuals must be sponsored or proposed for membership into a club. So the first step to make that happen, is to contact us. We invite you to be our guest and visit at least three of our club meetings. You complete a membership application form and a club member submits your name to the club’s membership committee. Be a business or community leader, or have the desire to be one. Rotarians are community volunteers so we put value on your desire to serve others and to build a network among business and community leaders. When we speak of leaders, we include potential leaders - anyone who wants to make a difference. We are looking for people who: • Have an interest in networking, making friends, serving your local community or helping others internationally. • Are able to attend the club meetings and/or to participate in community projects. Rotary clubs have a meeting every week, and we ask that members attend at least two of those meetings or participate in two club activities each month. • Live or work within the vicinity of the club or surrounding area. We want you to become connected to your community.

Have you ever wondered how our local landscapes were formed? Where did the large sand and gravel deposits along the Coquitlam River come from? And why are there massive boulders scattered around Coquitlam? At Tuesday’s meeting of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, SFU professor Brent Ward will present an overview of the history of glaciations in B.C., with an emphasis on the Lower Mainland and the Tri-Cities. His presentation will outline what caused the ice ages that characterize the last 2.6 million years of Earth’s history. Ward’s talk will focus on the timing and nature of the last glaciation in B.C., the so-called Fraser Glaciation. This glaciation carved the landscapes of the Lower Mainland and resulted in our spectacular scenery, glacial erratics and characteristic soil deposits that we use to grow crops, and to build houses and infrastructure on. Some of these deposits are also prone to landslides. A glacial geologist, Ward studies glaciated and nonglaciated landscapes of different ages in order to reconstruct past environments. His research involves examining the fossils of past flora and fauna,

Our students made this building possible!

Thanks to Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS), our students voted and gave the thumbs up to build a brand new Student Union Building (SUB). This commitment of $55 million is an epic gesture, and one that’s going to impact students for years to come. With over 100K square feet of space devoted to studying, unwinding and connecting, all students are going to find their time at Burnaby’s campus pretty sweet. From study and club space to a community kitchen, there’s going to be endless possibilities to create awesome memories at SFU in a state of the art building. (Good luck keeping the administration out of the napping room!) A big thanks to the engaged student leadership who made this happen, and a shout-out to everyone involved in the collaboration with the university. You’ll want to check out the new home of SFSS programs and services in the fall of 2018.

GOOD

NOT TO BUILD A TRAFFIC ROUTE THRU

REASONS BERT FLINN PARK

At its public meeting next Tuesday (City Hall 7pm), Port Moody’s City Council will vote yes or no on a motion to remove the road right-of-way through Bert Flinn nature park. Here’s why Council should vote yes.

THE ROAD WON’T WORK

The City would have BCG, the developer of the Ioco Lands, foot the $25M+ bill to build the Park route supposedly in order to relieve traffic pressure on Ioco Road, which is already too busy. But in return, the developer would expect the City to rezone its land at the west end of Ioco Road to allow denser residential development and services that seem certain to worsen, not lessen, traffic congestion along Ioco Road. Don’t step into that trap.

IT WOULD FOREVER RUIN THE NATURE PARK

As distinguished local environmentalist Dr. Elaine Golds observed, “Putting a road through Bert Flinn would be like driving a stake through its heart.” For many, this park anchors our quality of life on the north shore. The essential attraction of Bert Flinn for its legion of trail runners, grade school students, mountain cyclists, families with small kids, and folks walking their dogs is exactly the thing that also unifies its diverse wildlife ecosystem – that is the Park’s quiet serenity and undisturbed integrity as a natural refuge from modern city life. Just imagine how the building of a traffic corridor and major bridge across the midsection of Bert Flinn would turn the park into an ugly, messy construction site for years to come. No wonder more than 1,900 local residents have signed our petition at SaveBertFlinnPark.ca to stop the noisy, hectic roadway from ruining the Park for coming generations.

COUNCIL WOULD GO BACK ON ITS PROMISE

If Council sees this road built, it will be going back on its longstanding promise to Port Moody’s citizens to leave green space -- designated Bert Flinn Park – undisturbed on the north shore in exchange for the public’s support for densification of the City’s downtown area. While it’s true that the road right-of-way was set aside when the Park was first created, the concept of nature-park-plusbusy-traffic-thoroughfare never made much sense, and there’s good reason to rethink it now. In the two decades since the trade-off of north shore green for downtown density was struck, PoMo’s population has skyrocketed, and the city’s overall density now exceeds the average for Metro Vancouver by a whopping 60%. Council, don’t backslide now on your pledge, in a rush to densify the north shore too. This would threaten the quality of life that makes our community among the most desirable places to live anywhere in the lower mainland. LET’S FIND A BETTER WAY Yes, we do need to improve the transportation grid in the north shore over time, but surely, working together with Anmore, we can find more appropriate ways to accomplish this than by devastating Bert Flinn Park, for users, for wildlife, and for all time. We urge PoMo’s City Council to consider voting yes on the motion next Tuesday.

Veritas Has it All: Location, Views, Amenities Polygon’s newest community on Burnaby Mountain, Veritas is a contemporary collection of homes with two-beds starting at just $389,000

urnaby Mountain is one of the most desirable communities in the city. Atop this green hillside is the masterplanned community of UniverCity, where residents at Polygon’s newest community at SFU – Veritas – will call home. “Our first building sold out quickly since we opened at the end of May,” says Sandra Bua, sales manager at Veritas. “Most of our home buyers in this first building work or study at SFU but we’re also seeing interest from investors.” Located beside one of Canada’s top universities, Simon Fraser University, UniverCity has been hailed as a model of sustain-

ability. On top of the mountain and beside a protected forest, Veritas will also feature ocean, mountain and cityscape views. Designed by Raymond Letkeman Architects Inc., the exterior is an ode to the West Coast, thanks to large roof overhangs, wood detailing and extensive brick facades. “Between the buildings there is a large, fully landscaped central courtyard with a pathway for residents to enjoy,” says Bua. Veritas is a collection of 158 homes, ranging from studios to two-bedroomplus-dens, with two-bedroom homes starting at $389,900. Each open-concept contemporary residence, ranging up to almost 1,000 square feet, features laminate wood floors, and a sleek stainless-steel appliance package. The top-level loft plans feature soaring ceilings and beautiful views, while all other homes boast private outdoor space with either a balcony or patio. The airy kitchens come equipped with laminate white or wood grain cabinets that include corner cupboards with

rotating shelves (in most homes) to keep everything within easy reach, engineered stone countertops with full-height glass tile backsplash and a breakfast bar (most homes). Meanwhile, UniverCity is a dense, walkable community that provides everything that suburbanites need, including easy access to four major bus routes and SkyTrain’s Millennium Line located at the foot of the hill. Veritas is a short walk from University High Street, which is home to a full range of shops and services, including coffee shops, a grocery store, a bank, two restaurants, an organic deli, a pharmacy and the SFU Pocket Farmers’ Market. Parents with young children will appreciate that an elementary school, childcare centre and parks are all within walking distance. “The other benefits of UniverCity is its proximity to great hiking trails and access to so much culture, all the while feeling like you are away from the urban rush,” Bua adds. “This community is

steeped in culture from one of Canada’s best universities.” Because of its desirability, UniverCity is attracting everyone from the university student to the first-time buyer, investors to the professional couple and young couples with children. Veritas comes to you from Polygon, a well-respected developer with more than three decades of experience and more than 26,000 homes throughout the Lower Mainland.Since 1980, Polygon has built its reputation for innovative design combined with outstanding quality. Purchasers at the sold-out Veritas I will start moving in in late 2016, while move-ins for Veritas II are scheduled for summer 2017 – just in time for the fall 2017 school year. The sales centre, located at 8999 Cornerstone Mews, Burnaby, is open from noon to 6pm daily (except Fridays).

Port Moody shakes up roster ahead of opener Panthers pick up Warkentin, Serban ahead of season kick off

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

The under-17 Port Moody Gunners (red) took on Newton during an under-17 match at the SX International Cup last weekend at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. The Port Moody Gunners soccer club will be kicking off the regular season tomorrow (Saturday) with games at Trasolini Field in Port Moody. The Premier League game will start a day of soccer, which will see the Div. 1 squad take on Langley at 6 p.m. followed by a Div. 3 match between the Gunners and the PoCo FC Rangers at 8 p.m.

The Port Moody Panthers have started the 2016-17 Pacific Junior Hockey League season with a blockbuster trade that will see Kyle Dosanjh and Trevor Sundher go to the Mission City Outlaws in exchange for future considerations. While neither forward amassed a large number of points last season they were key contributors to the Panthers lineup and both were selected to play in the PJHL Top Prospects game. Dosanjh notched eight goals and 12 assists in 34 games along with 87 penalty minutes. He played 16 games as an affiliate player with the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles, where he picked up one assist. Meanwhile, Sundher scored one goal and four assists in 34 games with 23 penalty minutes. But Sundher and Dosanjh were not the only players on the move ahead this week. Goalie Jack Stradiotti is heading to the Richmond Sockeyes in exchange for future considerations. The 18-year-old netminder played 32 games last year as a rookie, posting a 7-16-3 record and a 0.900 save percentage and 3.2 goals against average. Stradiotti, who played for the Canadian Sport School Hockey League’s Burnaby Winter Club pre team in 2014-’15, made a career-high 40 saves against Richmond last November and

NEXT GAME

The Port Moody Panthers regular season begins this Saturday (Sept. 10) when the team hosts the Ridge Meadows Flames. The puck drops at 7:45 p.m. The club will then take on the Grandview Steelers at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday at 4 p.m. For more information and a compete season schedule go to www.portmoodypanthers.com. had one shutout on the season. But there are some players coming the other direction, with the Panthers picking up Luke Warkentin from the Grandview Steelers in exchange for defenceman Jovin Kaila and Lucian Serban from the Fort. St. John Huskies. Warkentin played 35 games with the Steelers last season, amassing two goals and four assists. The 6’2”, 185 lb. forward also spent the 2014-’15 sesaon wtih the Canadian Sport School Hockey League’s Yale Academy, where he became a proficient scorer. Serban is a Port Coquitlam native who started his career with the Abbotsford Pilots, where he recorded a goal and three assists before being acquired by the Huskies of the North West Junior Hockey League last fall. He is also an alum of the Vancouver NE Chiefs, where he scored six goals and six assists in the 38 games he played. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews
