EDUCATION
SD43 lags in per-student funding District asking for more money DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
After years of approaching the provincial government with cap in hand, School
District 43 may now be in a more powerful position to state its case for more funding even though it has a budget surplus and one of the most successful international education programs in the province. This week SD43 released a five-page briefing calling for
populations, yet remains near the bottom for per-student funding. The brief also points out some anomalies such as Richmond school district receiving double the amount of funding for programs for at-risk youth even though its vulnerable student population
more funding, particularly for vulnerable students. Presented before the province’s all-party Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, the brief points out that SD43 is the third largest in the province, with one of the most diverse and complex student
is a third the size of SD43’s ($4,145.27 in per student funding went to Richmond with only 517 students identified on the Social Service Index compared to $2,086.31 per student for SD43 with 1,200 SSI students).
Complaints about the steep $500 fine issued to homeowners caught with their waste carts left out before collection day have prompted Coquitlam city staff to request a change to the solid waste bylaw. If approved by council, the change would mean first-time offenders can have the fine reduced to $250, instead of $400, if it’s paid within 14 days. “The base fine remains the same, and there is no change to the importance council and the city places on this issue,” said Steffanie Warriner, manager of environmental services. “The objective is compliance, and changing peoples’ behaviour with the priority being public safety and reducing potential bear and human conflicts.” The trouble, however, is that despite the threat of a hefty fine and widespread education efforts, as well as a high-profile incident in August in which a little girl was attacked by a mother bear in Coquitlam River Park, Coquitlam residents still aren’t getting the message. A report presented to council on Monday noted that following the incident staff ramped up their outreach efforts and neighbourhood patrols and skipped warnings in favour of moving straight to issuing tickets in the highestrisk areas of Coquitlam.

ANMORE HERITAGE
More time to make case for Murray house Heritage group says property should be a nat’l historic site DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
DIANE STRANDBERG/TRI-CITY NEWS
Joerge Dyrkton and Elaine Willis of the newly formed Anmore Heritage Society out front of the former Ma Murray homestead that was later used as the Anmore Village Hall until it was decommissioned. The group is hoping to save the building and restore it as a landmark recognizing the B.C. newspaper woman Margaret Murray.
A group hoping to save the former Murray family homestead in Anmore as a national historic site is relieved that Anmore village council has given them more time to make their case. “I think we have been given a reprieve,” said Elaine Willis, a member of the Anmore Heritage Society. The group will now come up with a business plan and a design for turning the former home of Margaret and George Murray into a museum and coffee shop as well as for a second option for making the building part of a new Anmore village administrative centre. Elaine Willis and Joerge Dyrkton said the group will also work on an application for Heritage Canada funding. The goal is to have the business plans ready by mid-December and the two say they are pleased the village council opted not to knock down the 100-year-old building.
“The village doesn’t have any money for a new village hall so why not keep everything in place until we have the Heritage Canada grant and an action plan for either option A or B,” explained Willis. Dyrkton said the building has national heritage value and should be saved because Margaret Murray was a significant B.C. pioneer and early feminist who challenged authority and whose newspapers were vital to the community. The Murray’s publications were the Chinook in Vancouver, the Bridge RiverLillooet News and the Alaska Highway News in Fort St. John Mementoes of the couple’s early newspapering days, such as press equipment, papers, a book and an oral history still exist and could be part of a collection remembering the important role newspapers have played in Canadian society, Dyrkton said. “If you don’t preserve the past then there is no way your children can explore the future,” Dyrkton said. To contact the group, email info@anmoreheritagesociety. ca. A website, www.anmoreheritagesociety.ca will soon be up and running. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
SYRIAN REFUGEES
Group aims to welcome refugees to Tri-Cities DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
Helping a group of Syrian refugee mothers with young children is the goal of a new advocacy group that has recently established in the TriCities. Nancy Furness’ group, the Tri-Cities refugee welcome wagon (not affiliated with the greeting service) has been connected with three Syrian refugee families living in Coquitlam. She said many issues need to be addressed if the newcomers are to integrate successfully. “When they come over that’s not the end of the story, that’s the beginning,” said
Furness adding affordable housing and transportation are among the top concerns facing these women. But they also need help with the English language and mental health support. The group has already provided some essentials, including shopping carts, car seats, bus passes and school supplies with funds raised in the community and put $500 towards helping victims of the July 28 Cottonwood Avenue apartment fire. But more is needed added Furness, who said the women can easily become isolated although a small Syrian community seems to be developing in the Cottonwood area with the
recent arrival of refugees. Furness would like to see some space donated so the newcomers can get together socially. Her group is also stepping up to provide rides to the food bank and to medical appointments. It’s also reaching out to politicians of all stripes and at all levels to raise awareness and exchange information. NDP politicians Selina Robinson (CoquitlamMaillardvile MLA) and Fin Donnelly (Port MoodyCoquitlam MP) have been invited to speak at an upcoming fundraiser but Furness said her group is not political. At a previous fundraiser, Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam
Liberal MP Ron McKinnon was the main speaker. “We want to make sure they are connected with the community and they know what the challenges are,” Furness said. • The Tri-Cities Syrian Refugees Community Fundraiser will take place Saturday, Oct. 15 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Coquitlam Legion, 1025 Ridgeway Ave. Food will be provided by Pasta Polo, and there will be raffles and prizes. Tickets are $30 and include food and drink. To purchase tickets visit, https://tricitiesbc.snapd.com/#/events/ view/984474

VOLUNTEER FIRE SERVICE
Evans passes the torch after 33 years with Sasamat fire Veteran firefighter still recalls every blaze she battled JANIS WARREN
The Tri-CiTy News
Judy Evans and her husband moved to Belcarra 44 years ago and, about a decade after that, she followed him into the Sasamat volunteer fire service after worrying what kind of trouble he could be in during his night shifts. Then, Keith was a School District 43 teacher and she worked in the customer service department for BC Tel. When their three kids were old enough, she joined him on active duty in the village as well as in Anmore — and other water and forested places in between — to handle medical emergencies, car crashes and structure fires. “I had an interest,” Evans remembered. “I wanted to be with him and help out other people in my community.” It wasn’t easy at times. She had to pull the same weight as the guys and put in her training hours while also juggling work and family life. It was a balancing act, Evans said, and so she didn’t get to every call out. But when she was on scene, Evans was there 100%. She recalls every house fire. Her first battle was on Robson Road. She also helped to douse an all-nighter on Spence Way. And her most dramatic house burner was on Bedwell Bay Road, across from the Belcarra fire hall, when multiple propane tanks exploded that night. She showed up for work the next day, still covered in soot. Her boss gave her no days off, she grumbled. Over the 33 years, Evans
sUMMer sChOOL NUMBers Are UP
Summer school continues to be a popular program in School District 43. International student enrolment, measured in “student weeks,” was 4,827, up 60% from 2013, when the enrolment was 2,681. The program also generated $1.5 million in revenue for SD43 this year. As well, there were 6,100 resident students in Grades 1 through 12 enrolled in summer courses, including a number of students with special education needs who received support from education assistants, a new initiative in SD43. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Judy Evans, seen here with Jol Drake, Beclarra’s district chief, said she still remembers all of the fires she has helped put out, including her first on Robson Road. believes she has attended some 1,000 calls — a feat that, four years ago, earned her the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for her dedication (former chief Larry Scott was also recognized). But, at the end of this year, Evans said she plans to hand over her first responders uniform and bid adieu. And when she retires on Dec. 31, she will officially be Sasamat’s longestserving volunteer firefighter. Like her husband, a founding member of the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department in 1978, Evans will become an associate member — a social role that will allow her to organize and fundraise while still being involved. She doesn’t have one regret. “It’s time,” the 71-year-old said. “I’ve enjoyed it. Now I want others to carry on.” As a female firefighter, Evans
has blazed the trail for two dozen women who have been with Sasamat. Currently, there are five female smoke-eaters (three in their 20s) on the 42-member roster. Evans likes that “the girls” have taken an interest though she wishes more village residents would sign up, too. She’s plainspoken when it comes to the younger generation and the homeowners moving into the two growing communities. “They do their own thing,” she said, “but we need to have more people to carry on the job.” Jol Drake, Belcarra’s district chief, said Sasamat has a relatively young crew (the average age is 45). And he said while new blood is always appreciated, there’s a wait list to get on board right now; this fall, the department accepted four more recruits out of 15
applicants. Evans’ advice to them? There may be an adrenaline rush but you have to stay calm and collected. “Judy has been a real role model for the recruits and our members alike,” Drake said last month at the Belcarra hall. SVFD Fire Chief Jay Sharpe said though Evans is petite, she’s “never shied away from the tough work.” “Last summer, at a house fire, she was wearing full turnout gear including a [Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus] and was on the end of a nozzle attacking the fire,” Sharpe said, adding Evans and her husband “are a true class act and very well respected in Belcarra and Anmore.” • Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department continues to raise money to replace 20 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) packs. To make a donation, call 604839-5315 or go to svfd.ca. Tax receipts are available.

BEAR AWARE
Fines paid early would be reduced to $250 continued from front page
“Despite the very wide publicity that has ensued, staff has continued to observe an alarmingly high rate of violations, with approximately 140 tickets having been issued just since the Aug. 13 incident,” the report stated. Since the beginning of the year Coquitlam has issued about 1,400 warnings and 225 tickets. Most residents who receive the tickets are disputing them — not because of the infraction itself, for which the evidence is clear, but “because they feel the amount of the fine is dis-
BY THE NUMBERS
Each of the Tri-Cities handles bylaw enforcement when it comes to bear attractants a little differently, with Coquitlam doling out the steepest fines. • Coquitlam Fine: $500, reduced to $400 if paid within two weeks (or $250 pending council approval of a bylaw amendment) • Port Coquitlam Fine: $150 for unsecured garbage or green waste • Port Moody Fine: warning (first offence), $50 (second offence), $100 (third offence), $150 (fourth offence) for setting collection cart out before 5:30 a.m. on collection day • B.C. Conservation Officer Service Fine: $230 proportionate to the offence and unnecessarily punitive” given the fine is the same
whether a bear has accessed the waste or not. Reducing the fine to $400
if paid within two weeks has done little to discourage the disputes, staff noted, and leaves them with limited enforcement options to address issues of varying severity. The bylaw amendment, which received second and third readings on Monday, would discount fines from $500 to $250 for early payment of the fine for setting a waste cart out before 5:30 a.m. on collection day. The change does not apply to the section of the bylaw that also sees a $500 fine issued for feeding wildlife. Warriner noted the reduction applies only to a firsttime offence and any subsequent tickets will not be
HOUSING & DEVELOPMENT
New rental building proposed SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam looks poised to have a second purpose-built rental apartment building in the ever-changing Burquitlam neighbourhood. At Monday’s meeting council approved first three readings of a housing agreement bylaw for the five-storey rental building that will be part of the
Bosa Blue Sky Properties development at North Road and Foster Avenue. The 57 rental units in the five-storey building represent a small portion of the nearly 900 units that are to be part of three highrise towers, ranging from 28 to 37 storeys. Of those 57 rentals, 13 are slated to become studios while 24 will be one-bedroom units and 20 will be two-bedroom
units. As with the purpose-built rental building that was approved for Charland Avenue, the Foster Avenue housing agreement requires the building to remain as rental apartments, that it not be stratified and that short-term rentals for tourist accommodation or Airbnb purposes be prohibited for less than 30 days. The building will also have
a minimum of 75 parking spaces, of which 64 are for residents and 11 for visitors. It will be built as part of the development’s phase two construction, along with the second tower, at the back of the property on what is currently 525 Foster Ave. The third and final phase will be construction of the third tower and commercial units fronting North Road.

Fraser Health focuses on harm reduction
Must present coupon at time of purchase.
FA L L
JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS
A new regional harm reduction strategy being developed by Fraser Health will focus on collection of used needles, provision of clean needles and smoking supplies, and outreach by recovered addicts to active drug users. The health authority has struck an agreement with RainCity Housing and Support Society, which also operates the 3030 Gordon homeless shelter in Coquitlam, to help develop the expanded services, which exist in some but not all parts of the region. Dr. Ingrid Tyler said it’s hoped peer outreach led by RainCity will help educate users on safe use and discard of needles, and better persuade them to reach out for addiction treatment and other health services when they are receptive. Those former addicts would also be on the front line of providing users with clean supplies, containers to safely store discarded needles
BLACK PRESS FILE
Recovery of discarded needles will be one focus of a new harm reduction strategy being pursued by Fraser Health. instead of dropping them in public, and helping alert users when a spike in dangerous overdoses happens. “We want to ensure we create access across the whole region and there are no areas being unintentionally missed in terms of adequate harm reduction access,” she said, but added the rollout will consider community-specific factors. Tyler said it’s too early to say which new communities could get additional harm reduction services, or what they might be. The agreement doesn’t involve the most controversial side of harm reduction — supervised drug consumption sites that advocates say have been effective in preventing overdose deaths in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Fraser Health earlier
this summer committed to pursuing supervised use sites in multiple communities as part of its broader strategy to combat overdose deaths. Asked if Fraser has yet reached agreement with any local municipalities on priority sites for supervised use, Tyler said those conversations are ongoing. “It’s a service that we would like to be able to provide to those who need it across the region,” she said. “We continue to work with our various partners in communities across Fraser to identify where these services would be the most appropriate and have the greatest impact.” The drug overdose crisis in B.C. had claimed 488 lives this year as of the end of August, with 172 of those deaths in the Fraser region.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
‘We are asking to be promoted to average’ continued from front page
Port Moody trustee Kerry Palmer Isaak who presented the brief, said, while similar points have been expressed in the past, the district hopes this will be the year that changes will be made to education funding. “We really want to drive attention to the fact while we have been promoted to the third lowest (funded district) in the province we are the third largest district. We are asking to be promoted to average,” Isaak said. She said SD43 per-student funding still lags behind other districts at $7,158 per student compared to a provincial average of $7,218 and funding for lunches and after school programs for vulnerable youth hasn’t kept up with the growth in the number of kids needing help. Mental health concerns among students is also worrying with an estimate of 3,000 students needing extra supports who aren’t getting them. Palmer Isaak said she’s hearing from families that anxiety is a huge issue for children, but more debilitating conditions are also a problem, resulting in greater numbers of hospitalizations and challenges re-
introducing students back into the classroom. Isaak said the district has proposed a pilot PALMER ISAAK program to help students facing challenges, including the hiring of a staff person who would coordinate mental health programs and make them more consistent across the district. It could be a model for other school districts, Isaak said, but there has been no word from the Ministry of Education. “If the students are not able to attend, how do we support them with academics and social success — it’s a fundamental part,” Palmer Isaak said. “I’m hoping they will take a hard look at our program,” she added. Coquitlam Teachers’ Association acting president Ken Christensen agreed that mental health issues are a growing concern among students and teachers at SD43 schools. “This is a difficult issue to address for a classroom teacher and the talented resources that exist that do
address this, like counsellors, you have counsellors stretched very thin.” But Christensen said increased funding would make a difference for many of these issues, including helping teachers deal with students who have special education needs. This complaint about inadequate funding has been made for years and is being made again even though SD43 has an operating surplus — pegged at $6.5 million at the end of the 2015/’16 school year. However, the brief argues that the district shouldn’t suffer because it’s doing a good job of managing its finances noting that a demand for equity and fairness is being made on principle and because of need. “SD43 is significantly underfunded to effectively deliver education services that are mandated by the Ministry of Education and needed and demanded by our community,” the brief states. In fact, SD43 may have more credibility now that its financial house is in order and, now that the province has posted a $2 billion surplus, and a provincial election is in the offing, this may be the year the district’s complaints are actually heard. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

OUR OPINION
Curling concerns
T
he city of Coquitlam deserves kudos for trying to run its community facilities as efficiently as possible. But kicking the Coquitlam curling club out of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (PSLC) because they take up space staff say could be better utilized by hockey and skating needs a re-think. Surely there is a compromise that can work and revenue shouldn’t be the only deciding factor. There is no question that ice time is at a premium but Coquitlam can’t simply wash its hands of the longstanding group in the hopes that they can find ice time somewhere else. It needs to acknowledge that there may be value in the program that benefits people of all ages, including the 1,400 school kids that curl there, Special Olympics and competitive curlers that use the ice. While Port Moody ice was seen as an option, eliminating Coquitlam’s program is not a real solution as it would just create challenges and costs for PoMo’s curling program. The question Coquitlam needs to be asking is: Can the city support this legacy sport or not? And if not, it must take full responsibility for the program’s demise.

P
aul has never strayed very far from his roots in the Tri-Cities. At an early age, he discovered the allure of drugs and friends with similar tastes. At age 10, he was smoking marijuana. And by 19, he was into hard drugs and partying all night. He found steady work as a painter and was soon able to purchase a house and truck. But addiction snuck up on him and gradually took over his life. When a rooming house he was managing was overrun by other addicts, he retreated to the Coquitlam River and set up housekeeping for several years in a tent where he would be left alone. But although he was aware of the harms he was causing to himself, he was unable to stop using drugs — by now, he was using heroin. To feed himself, he resorted to stealing from local supermarkets and at one point was caught and sentenced to a year’s probation. Rock bottom occurred when Paul was hospitalized for minor surgery that became life-threatening due to the ef-
TC
fects on his body of the chronic use of drugs and alcohol. But timing was on his side: The homeless shelter and transitional housing facility had just opened at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam and a social worker at the hospital introduced Paul to the manager. Now, Paul is living in a transitional suite and he has reconnected with his family, regained control of his life and is developing a new sense of home at the shelter. What does “home” mean to you? To most of us it is more than a physical space, a roof over our head. It is a place of safety, warmth and security, a place where we hang our hats and keep our memories, a place for family. Imagine, just for a minute, how you would live without a home. How would you make it to work each day? Or find work? Where would your children do their homework? Where would you sleep? And what about your belongings, things that are necessary and important to you — where would you keep them? At 3030 Gordon Ave., people from the street are pro-
vided the opportunity and support to find “home” once again. Nights of safety and warmth, hot food and clean clothes, and above all someone actually showing them care and respect, can be transformative for persons who have been living on the street. It provides the foundation for a person to rediscover their courage and restore their lives. From a Tri-Cities outreach worker who siad “sometimes, all we need to do is plant a seed and something a lot more powerful makes it grow and prosper.”

BEAR AWARE
TOY RUN
$500 fine a hardship for Thanks for all many Coquitlam families of the support The Editor, Letter to Coquitlam’s mayor and city council: On Sept. 7, I was given a $500 fine for placing my garbage out the evening before garbage day, as my neighbours and I have done since I moved to this neighbourhood eight years ago. I was planning on appealing the fine but I readily admit I put my garbage out and would most likely lose my appeal. I understand the issues and dangers of bears in the area and am more than willing to comply with the bylaw — now that I know that it exists. My argument is more so with the way this bylaw was enforced and the outrageous fine attached — $500 isn’t a fine, it’s a hardship for many. And your enforcement of it was more like a punch in the face than a slap on the wrist to people, like myself, who were unaware that they were doing anything wrong by putting out their garbage the night before. So this morning I paid the

fine. I’m cutting my losses and moving on. But please know that what respect I had for mayor and city council or anyone involved in the decisionmaking and enforcement in this bylaw is gone with that payment. My neighbours and I will remember how this city council treated its citizens in regards to this issue. And when I speak (or write, or post anything on social media) in regards to the city of Coquitlam, they won’t be kind words. And come the next civic election, I will be very vocal about the attitudes and actions of our civic leaders. Andrew Carr Coquitlam

Bear fines are $500 in Coquitlam, an amount one letter writer said could create a hardship for residents. The city is currently considering bylaw changes that would reduce the amount if the fine is paid quickly. For more information, please say page 1.
The Editor, On behalf of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau and the 16 local Christmas bureaus we support, we would like to extend a large thank you to the cities of Coquitlam and Port Moody, their engineering and police Services and our many volunteers and residents of both cities for their help with the 38th annual Motorcycle Toy Run. It takes a large amount of planning, permits and volunteers to put together one of the longest running and largest Charity Toy Runs in Canada. While it is a truly impressive sight to see, the most important part is that we collected approximately 2,000 toys and raised money for those in need. Considering that it was raining up to two hours before the start time, it shows the community spirit that over 1,500 motorcyclists

Finding ways to make home ownership more affordable is a top concern for residents living in the Fraser North region. But otherwise most people who live here are content and positive about life, a report on quality of life reveals. Tuesday the Vancouver Foundation released its VitalSigns 2016, a study of the attitudes of B.C. residents about their feelings of safety, sense of belonging and community priorities. The report showed that Fraser North residents differ little from folks elsewhere in the province but do feel strongly about issues of homeownership. For example, when asked about their priority for improving housing options in Fraser North, 71% said affordability of homeownership was their number one issue compared to 56% across B.C. and 33% of Fraser North residents said new ways to help people finance homes was also a priority, compared to 19% across B.C.

PoMo cop talk takes on Relationship Safe(Tea) Oct. 19 event will raise awareness around issues of domestic violence SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
The Port Moody Police Department is shining a purple light on domestic violence with a special event this month to help raise awareness around an issue that is too often kept in the shadows. Hosted by PMPD Victim Services, the Relationship Safe(TEA) on Oct. 19 will include resources on relationship safety and violence awareness with the hope of reaching those who may not be aware of the impacts or even existence of relationship violence, as well as those who might be looking for ways to help those who have been affected by it. “In the work that I do… the majority of files we deal with are the ones related to family issues and around domestic violence,” said Roselle Quinones of PMPD’s Victim Services. But while the incidence
of domestic violence is a lot more common than people think it is, it’s rarely talked about and often not reported. The reasons why can range from cultural norms to language barriers, not knowing what resources are available or how to access them. It can also be that some don’t even realize they’re experiencing domestic violence. Quinones describes it as when a relationship is no longer equal, and when one person takes on a position of power, control and manipulation over the other. “It’s not just when there’s an injury,” she said. “Abuse can be emotional, financial. From an emotional realm, if you have a person in more control belittling the other person, getting the person to a point where they no longer have self-esteem or confidence in themselves, they feel trapped in that relationship where they feel they no longer have value and they’re wondering, ‘Who would want me? My partner supposedly loves me and is telling me I’m worthless. I have no other place to go.’” And it’s not just romantic relationships that experience domestic violence, Quinones
said, noting it can be any kind of familial discord whether it’s between a parent and child or siblings. The Victim Services unit also reached out earlier this year to PoMo youth to educate them about what a healthy relationship looks like. Quinones said anybody in the community can benefit from the Relationship Safe(TEA) event (there will be refreshments) event, including those who are experiencing domestic violence, know somebody who is or anybody who simply wants to educate themselves on how to navigate the different relationships in their lives to a healthy place. The Port Moody Police building will also be lit up in purple throughout the month of October in honour of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and in recognition of the inspiration behind the Oct. 19 event, the Purple Light Nights initiative that started in Washington in 2004. • The Relationship Safe(TEA) is on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Port Moody recreation centre. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

I am completely pain free now and stairs are not a problem. S.B (80) KNEE INSTABILITY I have had a significant reduction of my pain. Now I can run and coach my son’s soccer team relatively pain free. R.F (52) ARTHRITIS KNEE My experience with Laser Light Therapy was excellent. After 10 treatments the pain has basically disappeared. D.M
MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT STRAIN - KNEE PAIN I had injured my right knee on the stairs and for 6 months my knee was catching,painful and very loose. After several laser treatments the pain was practically eliminated and the ligaments relaxed enough for full range of motion to return. V.S (52) KNEE PAIN I was diagnosed with serious Arthritis issues in both knees. Other treatments (physio, injections) gave only marginal improvements. I’ve had about six half hour treatments for each knee and I can’t believe the results. I feel almost no knee pain or stiffness and can sleep without pain pills. G.S (65)

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Town hall will focus on electoral reform The Liberal MP for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam will host a town hall next week on electoral reform. As the federal government looks to replace the first-pastthe-post system — a pledge made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during last year’s campaign — MP Ron McKinnon will talk to constituents about alternate voting measures. The gathering will be held
next Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Coquitlam campus of Douglas College (Room A2050, 1250 Pinetree Way) with Mark Pickup, an associate professor at Simon Fraser University, speaking on the topic. Pickup, a visiting fellow from the University of Oxford, specializes in comparative politics and political methodology. His research falls into three areas: the economy and
democratic accountability; polls and electoral outcomes; and conditions of democratic responsiveness. McKinnon’s meeting comes as the federal government’s special committee on electoral reform is currently leading a national consultation.

REAL ESTATE
Feds target housing market speculators Gains exemption, mortgage requirements tightened JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS
The federal government will make it tougher for speculators to profit tax-free from Canadian real estate investments, while further tightening mortgage qualification rules to help avoid excessive risk in the housing market. The changes announced Monday by Finance Minister Bill Morneau are expected to put further downward pressure on hot housing markets such as Vancouver and Toronto. Homes sold from now on won’t be eligible for the principal residence exemption from capital gains tax if the seller wasn’t a resident of Canada in the year they bought the property. Experts say that should bar foreign investors from using the capital gain exemption and also hit some Canadian citizens who have been abusing the exemption to use real estate as a tax-free investment. The Canada Revenue Agency will now require tax-
payers to report the sale of homes for which they are claiming the principal residence exemption. MORNEAU NDP housing critic David Eby predicted the federal rule change could have more effect even than the B.C. government’s recent imposition of a 15 per cent foreign buyer tax on residential real estate sales in Metro Vancouver. “I think there’s a great deal of domestic speculation in the housing market that is totally unaddressed by the foreign buyer tax,” Eby said. “The reason people are putting money into real estate instead of shares of a company is because they can do so capital gains free.” He suggested that with CRA auditors poised to take a harder look at potentially phony claims of the exemption, more real estate investors may shift to different investments. Eby has been among the critics who have flagged cases of homemakers and students
buying multi-million-dollar Vancouver-area homes with minimal to no declared annual income. When those individuals sell a million-dollar home and avoid paying tax on a $300,000 capital gain, he suggested, they’ll be prime targets for “lifestyle audits” by the CRA. The new disclosure requirement should also help the CRA unravel cases where multiple family members – mother, father and kids – are each declaring different principal residences to dodge capital gains despite a rule that a family could only declare one such property exempt. Ottawa also unveiled a tightening of rules on mortgage insurance eligibility and a revised mortgage rate stress test that will be applied to all insured mortgages. The revised stress test means more home buyers will have to have sufficient income to meet their mortgage payments not based on the mortgage rate a bank is offering them but based on the Bank of Canada’s posted rate for fixed five-year terms. B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman praised the federal measures. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Rebecca Hansen’s head is feeling a little lighter these days after she had a dozen inches chopped off last week to raise awareness and funds for the Terry Fox Foundation, which has its provincial branch in Port Coquitlam. The French Immersion teacher, who instructs at Glen elementary school in Coquitlam (where Fox was a student from grades 5 to 7 in the 1960s), helped to generate more than $7,000 in donations for the cause — $2,000 more than the school target. Her long locks will now be made into a wig for a young cancer patient. Student Tess Perkins, who brought in $1,055 for the foundation, also had eight inches of her hair cut off at the school assembly. “Terry’s story has made quite an impression on her,” Hansen wrote in an email to The Tri-City News.

Young professionals in the Tri-Cities can accelerate their careers with new learning and networking opportunities thanks to the expansion of a program called the Company of Young Professionals (CYP).

BBB warns of scam BBB warns of pyramid scheme that targets women. It’s called a gifting circle. Several women have contacted Better Business Bureau (BBB) concerned about being invited to these events by their friends. These get-togethers often go by other endearing names like “Women’s Financial Circle,” or “Women’s Financial Collective.” No matter what you call it, it’s a scam, according to the BBB. A gifting circle is a classic pyramid scheme designed to lure women in with the promise of a $40,000 payout after they invest $5,000 dollars and recruit friends. These secret and fun meetings often allude to empowerment for women and claim to create abundance and spiritual healing for those involved, said the BBB. “It may take a couple of wine parties or two to entice women to part with their money,” said Evan Kelly, senior communications advisor for the BBB. “After all, a friend asked you to join, it couldn’t possibly be a scam, right? The buy-in is cost prohibitive to many, so those in a more affluent demographic are often the targets of these schemes. Like many effective scams, people simply believe what they are getting into is legit or meaningful.” The gifting circle scam has
been around for quite some time and seems to show itself every few years after being under the radar. If you have any concerns
contact BBB at www.bbb.org/ mbc. Investment concerns can also be directed to the BC Securities Commission at www.bcsc.bc.ca.

E
very seven minutes, someone in the country suffers a heart attack. Every twelve minutes, another Canadian has a cardiac arrest. As the busiest cardiac care centre in the province, Royal Columbian Hospital performs high volumes of open heart surgery and interventional procedures like angioplasty, serving one in three British Columbians across the largest and fastest growing health region in BC. A critical component of the hospital’s cardiac care is the catheterization lab. With its two cath lab suites, Royal Columbian
cares for cardiac emergencies from throughout Fraser Health, including more than 1.7 million residents. Today, these much-used cath labs are in need of full upgrades. Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is seeking your help to bring the latest, most advanced technology to the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. With your help, the Foundation is raising $3.3 million to upgrade our two cath lab suites with new technology and equipment. Donate today in support of our Cardiac Care Campaign.

his April Holland America has 4 ships repositioning from Florida to VanCo-Founder couver with the best current deal being aboard the ms & President, Oosterdam with our 23 night package for $4599 CAD pp. CruisePlus This price includes air from Vancouver to Tampa, 1 night in a 4 star hotel, 22 nights in a balcony stateroom (with a small onboard credit) and all taxes leaving April 6th. Ask about spoiling yourself in a suite or, if you’re not as concerned about your stateroom, then the prices are quite a bit lower for insides and outsides. This is a great itinerary and a nice mix of port and sea days. Similar pricing and mostly the same itineraries hold true for the ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Eurodam sailings, and the ms Amsterdam (which does the world cruise) has less balconies, so pricing is generally a bit more for them. Ask about winter choices between San Diego and Fort Lauderdale (or reverse) – we’ll give you better value on any Panama departure!

Seasons is a boutique-style offering of condominiums and townhomes
Collection of 101 contemporary residences is unique to Burnaby’s thriving Brentwood Town Centre
M
uch has been written about why Burnaby’s Brentwood Town Centre neighbourhood is a good location to live, work and play in. Brentwood is emerging as a sought-after enclave with great outdoor cafes and shopping, parks and trails, recreational amenities, and a historic business district, all within walking distance. Well-respected builder Ledingham McAllister understands the community’s appeal – it has chosen Brentwood for several of its most recent residential projects including Escala, released earlier this year, as well as its sold out high-rise Aviara. Now, the award-winning developer introduces its
newest collection – Seasons. Seasons is a collection of 101 West Coast contemporary one-bedroom and den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom and den condominiums and townhomes, ranging from 641 to 1,053 square feet. Each openconcept home has been designed to maximize the natural light and flow of living while combining style, form, and function. “It’s the only boutique-style residence currently on offer in the Brentwood town centre,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice president, marketing and design Ledingham McAllister. “Just 100 homes tucked into an incredibly landscaped enclave.” Inside, these thoughtfully designed home will feature sleek laminate wood flooring throughout the living space, long-lasting nylon carpeting throughout all bedrooms, and conveniently located cable and data outlets throughout most homes. The kitchens will be outfitted with a premium stainless-steel appliance package, Quartz countertops with contemporary tile backsplash, Kohler fixtures and timeless
finishes. It doesn’t stop there. Cooks and those who love to entertain will appreciate the 30-inch refrigerator and freezer with temperature-controlled drawers, metal wine rack and icemaker. For optimum comfort, each home presents energy-efficient, Solarban 60 UV-protected, double-glazed windows and sliding-glass or swing balcony doors with vinyl window/door system. To encourage a sense of community, owners will share a landscaped common outdoor terrace with children’s play area, community garden, and a 1,000 square feet amenity room. Nearby home owners, who purchased in Ledingham McAllister’s Aviara and Escala communities, say they were attracted to the fact that Brentwood is one of the best connected neighbourhoods in terms of transit, SkyTrain, bike networks and highways. Seasons owners will also be close to the urban hub, and just minutes away from several good schools such as Simon Fraser University and BCIT. “In addition, the new Brentwood Shopping

Centre is going to be a destination retail spot and is only a couple of blocks away,” she adds. For the environmentally-conscious consumers, Seasons features two eco-friendly initiatives, a commuter bike package and a transit pass subsidy. With more than 110 years of building landmark developments and 5,000 homes in Burnaby alone, you can rest assured you are buying from a builder renowned for outstanding quality, integrity and solid performance. Meanwhile, Mirecki says interest in Seasons has been very strong. “We expect a quick sell-out. People really need to register in advance to be sure to get an opportunity to purchase,” she adds. The Seasons Presentation Centre, located at 1710 Gilmore Avenue, Burnaby, opens for previews on Saturday, October 15 and the public opening follows on Saturday, October 22.

Ornamentals for fall foliage adds colour to any garden IN THE GARDEN
BRIAN MINTER
A
t this time of year, vibrant fall colour just lifts your spirits and you don’t need big tall shade trees to enjoy it. Today, with so many fall foliage plants available, you’ll have no difficulty finding room for some — even in a smaller garden. I can’t make up my mind if I like a Sourwood tree (Oxydendrum arboreum) better in August or in October. In August, its cascades of white flowers are a nice treat, then in late summer its foliage starts turning red and lasts well until late October. It’s a superstar in the garden. A little known and seldom planted tree is Parrotia persica. It’s a smaller tree that always looks unique. It has tiny red flowers in February, but earns its stripes mostly in fall with truly vibrant scarlet-orange leaves. It also has smooth grey bark that flakes off to leave white patches, making it a nice winter specimen too. Nearly everyone plants a Purple Smoke tree (Cotinus coggygria) in their garden. Few people, however, plant its gold leafed cousin and that’s a shame because Golden Smoke trees are beautiful throughout three of the four seasons. They are particularly beautiful in autumn with their multitude of sophisticated vibrant reds and oranges. Another great plant that is neglected too often is the enthralling Enkianthus campanulatus. A mid-sized shrub with Pieris japonica-like red flowers in spring, it lights up the garden at this time of year with its florescent red foliage. This Japanese native fits in well
among rhododendrons, azaleas and heathers. Speaking of red foliage, the Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) is the most well-known and the reddest of all reds in the fall and truly is a head turner. It’s a great fall plant, with corky winged stems that continue to look terrific in winter. A compact variety is now available. It’s a must have. One of the more unknown garden jewels is Fothergilla gardenii. This slow grower (up to three feet) has beautiful, fragrant bottle brush-like flowers in April and May, and then in October it throws a colour party of vibrant yellows and oranges. It’s a standout. One unique plant that turns colour now and keeps its leaves all year round is the lovely nandina, also known as Heavenly Bamboo — but don’t panic, it’s a false bamboo, not even related to bamboos, and has no spreading roots. Not really a grass, although all year it shimmers like one, it is a plant no sunny or shady garden should be without, and it now comes in a wide selection of compact varieties. They work especially well near an entryway. All the varieties are unique in their own way, but my favourites are the very compact varieties like Gulf Stream. It turns such beautiful red shades in winter and keeps that colour until spring. The many deciduous varieties of viburnums create a fabulous riot of colour, often with berries as well. Even the Chinese witch hazel, with its fragrant yellow winter flowers, is a little bit of a show-off in fall. If you already have some of these plants in your garden, congratulations. If not, I guarantee the addition of these plants to your fall garden will not only create a new exciting season for you, but they will also be something beautiful to anticipate and enjoy each autumn.

Panthers pounded by North Van wolves GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
A two-game win streak came to an abrupt halt for the Port Moody Panthers, who were mauled 6-0 by the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on home ice Saturday night. Cats’ goalie Riley Welyk was shelled for 49 shots against the Packs’ high-flying offence, which managed to get goals across its lineup. Ten minutes into the first period the game was already appearing to be out of reach for the home team, who allowed goals from Taylor Seganfreddo, Caleb Holonko and Joel Woznow. Ian Creamore made it 4-0 for
the visitors before the first intermission and scored a power play marker in the third to make it 5-0. Another power play goal from Jackson Tadey rounded out the scoring and the Wolf Pack left Port Moody with a 6-0 shutout win. Last week’s games were significantly better for the Cats. The team defeated the Surrey Knights in overtime in a match that saw Port Moody forward Keito Lee tie up the game in the third before winning it in extra time. He was named third-star of the game for the effort. Surrey jumped out to a twogoal lead in the game but the Panthers tied things up before the first intermission with
goals from Trey Cadwell on the power play and Lucian Serban. The scoreboard moved back and forth in the second period, with Surrey eventually taking a 5-4 lead Port Moody goals from Cameron Obcena and Brady Morrison. That set the stage for Lee’s tying goal in the third and his overtime heroics. Port Moody was looking to get back on its winning track on Thursday night (after The TriCity News’s deadline) against the Richmond Sockeyes. The club will be back on home ice Saturday for a meeting against Aldergrove. For more information go to www.portmoodypanthers.com. sports@tricitynews.com

Cents struggle, TF Ravens win Fox takes down New West 32-0
Both Tri-City junior varsity football teams were involved in blow outs last weekend — with one club on the winning side and the other on the losing side. The Terry Fox Ravens blew the doors off of New Westminster secondary, taking down the rival club 32-0 at Mercer Stadium last Thursday night. With the victory, Fox now has two regular season wins after taking down Notre Dame secondary 33-21 in the first match of the year last week. Meanwhile, the Centennial
Centaurs are still looking for their first win after falling 33-0 to W.J. Mouat on home field last Thursday. This is the first season that the Cents have had a junior varsity team and the squad had a tie and a win in its two exhibition games. The Coquitlam club was scheduled to play Seaquam secondary after The Tri-City News’ deadline Thursday night. Terry Fox will take the field Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium for a meeting with Mt. Boucherie secondary. The AAA Ravens will also play Mt. Boucherie at Town Centre this weekend. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

UNIVERSITY LACROSSE
Antongiovanni signs with UNC College may still be four years away, but Luca Antongiovanni already has plans for 2020. The 14-year-old Archbishop Carney student is committed to the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, where he will join the NCAA school’s lacrosse team. Antongiovanni, who started Grade 9 last month, has played his minor lacrosse with the Coquitlam Adanacs association and has played nationally with Team B.C. However, the right-handed shooter is a multi-sport ath-
lete and deciding on UNC was a big decision for the Grade 9 player. He had been offered a spot in the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program but declined the position to pursue lacrosse. He also is a prominent B.C. Soccer Premier League under-14 player in the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club. Antongiovanni had been scouted by 3D Lacrosse and committed to UNC over the summer. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

BCHL HOCKEY
Express home opener Coquitlam hockey fans will finally get their chance to catch some BCHL action when the Express take on the Langley Rivermen at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex this Friday. The club has yet to play a game at home this season and will be looking to avenge an 8-1 loss at the George
Preston Arena last month. Despite the lopsided score in last month’s game, the Rivermen have not fared well in the early part of the season, sitting in fifth place in the Mainland Division with a 2-50-1 record. The Express are not doing much better. The team is 3-5-0-1, good
enough for third place in its division, and has struggled to score so far this year, with the third lowest total in the league and a goal differential of -12. For more information and a complete season schedule go to www.coquitlamexpress. ca. sports@tricitynews.com

Mark Pickup is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Simon Fraser University. He is also a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Politics at the University of Oxford. Mark is a specialist in Comparative Politics and Political Methodology. Substantively, his research primarily falls into three areas: the economy and democratic accountability; polls and electoral outcomes; and conditions of democratic responsiveness. His research focuses on political information, public opinion, the media, election campaigns and electoral institutions within North American and European countries. His methodological interests concern the analysis of longitudinal data (time series, panel, network, etc.) with a secondary interest in Bayesian analysis.
