Friends rally to help family mourning sudden death of 14-year-old Poco boy fox student fell ill then suffered a cardiac arrest Diane stranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Just over a week has passed since the sudden death of 14-year-old John del Rosario and family friend Marcial Reyes is still processing the terrible news. “John was such a quiet fellow. at the same time, he was happy all the time,” Reyes said of the Terry fox student who died feb. 21 from complications following cardiac arrest. It’s still not known what caused the boy’s heart to fail and a coroner is looking into the matter, said Reyes. but in the meantime a YouCaring crowd funding page (youcaring.com/marilynstephanieandcindydelrosario-762321) has been established to help the family with funeral costs. It was sitting at over $4,500 yesterday afternoon. “We set our goal at $10,000 — it’s just a number picked out of the air, just trying to help out the family as well as we can,” Reyes said of single mom Marilyn and John’s two older sisters, Stephanie and Cindy. Reyes said the family is devastated by the boy’s death and the series of events that began when the fox Grade 9 student, who previously attended Kwayhquitlum middle
school and Coquitlam River elementary, started getting sick on the weekend of feb. 18. The boy had flu-like symptoms and when they didn’t improve, the family took him to a walk-in clinic, and later to Eagle Ridge Hospital, where he suffered a cardiac arrest. Reyes said the boy and his mom were able to share loving words and the boy was revived and subsequently transferred to Royal Columbian Hospital, but died shortly after arriving at the New Westminster hospital. “It was a fast four hours from the time they came into Eagle Ridge,” Reyes said, noting that the boy’s youth gave them all hope that he would survive. Many in the tight-knit Terry fox community have reached out, Reyes said, and students have been commenting on social media. To help fox students deal with the sad news about their fellow student, youth workers were made available and a note was sent home to parents with information about online resources, said Rissa Wilson, the school’s vice-principal. In the YouCaring profile, John is described as being a goofy and loving personality,who enjoyed gaming and skating. funeral events will be held over the next few days before John is laid to rest at the Port Coquitlam cemetery on Sunday.

Cost concerns cancel Training run sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
The Terry fox foundation is shifting what had been an annual event the last two years to honour the Port Coquitlam hero’s training route through the Tri-Cities to the five-year anniversaries of his Marathon of Hope. The first Terry fox Training Run, which took participants along the 10-mile (16-km) route from PoCo through Coquitlam to Port Moody’s april Road and back, was held to mark the 35th anniversary of fox’s cross-Canada trek in 2015
and again in 2016. but organizers decided not to go ahead with another Training Run this year due to the cost of traffic control and other expenses. “It’s a huge bill,” said donna White, b.C./Yukon provincial director for the Terry fox foundation. “We’d be holding an event to raise money just to pay a bill, and that’s not what we do.” Costs for the Training Run, including installing the route markers in 2015, traffic control, equipment and staff support, have typically been split based on population between

director of the foundation, said with the “phenomenal support” provided for the Terry fox Run — four are held in the TriCities — as well as the school runs in September, the foundation wanted to focus more on fundraising opportunities outside of large-scale events. The foundation plans to hold the Training Run on fiveyear anniversaries, similar to the run over the Confederation bridge in the Maritimes, with the next one in 2020 for the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope.

coq. curling move to PoMo could happen in september gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam’s intention of closing its curling facility at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex and transitioning the program to Port Moody appears to be moving quicker than initially planned. Last November, council voted in favour of a report that called for amalgamating the two curling clubs in time for the 2018/’19 season. but Coquitlam city staff, in their communications with the city of Port Moody, said they are now aiming to make the change as early as this fall. “although Coquitlam council authorized the transition to take place in 2018, as a result of recent staff discussions, I would like to confirm our intent to proceed towards transitioning to one club in Port Moody in September 2017,” said Raul allueva, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture services, in a letter to Ron Higo, PoMo’s GM of community services. In the letter, allueva added that the new timeline would be subject to Coquitlam council approval, along with a series of expenditures he said will support the transition.

Thursday, adding “This is a rushed deal.” The Port Moody Curling Club, Graham added, is not ready for the influx of new members and there is considerable work that needs to be done at the facility to improve the quality of ice. She said she believes that Coquitlam council wants to move up the transition to 2017 to avoid having the controversial transition take place in the run up to the 2018 municipal election. Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, who chairs the sports advisory committee, said the city had initially intended to amalgamate the clubs in 2017 but, after the curlers wanted
Staff is proposing that Coquitlam commit to spending $100,000 to hire an executive director to manage the club amalgamation and $15,000 to provide a Curl bC ice technician to improve the quality of the rink in Port Moody. another $135,000 in equipment, including curling stones ($100,000), ice shaver and spare blades ($17,000) and other assorted items would be given to Port Moody. Earlene Graham, president of the Coquitlam Curling association, said she was not informed about Coquitlam’s plans to move up the transition time to 2017. “It is disappointing,” she told The Tri-City News on
more time to make their case for keeping the club in Coquitlam last fall — a delay of two and a half months — staff said an extension to 2018 may be needed to ensure there was enough time for the transition to take place. Still, Hodge acknowledged that moving the dates is not ideal. “It is creating a lot of anxiety,” he said. “[The curling clubs] want to get on with planning for the fall and time is ticking. Their season is wrapping up in a couple of weeks and they would like to know what the plans are for next year.” on Tuesday night, Moody council approved a recommendation directing staff to work with Coquitlam to expand curling in the PoMo rec complex ahead of the start of the season in September. Hodge said with that approval and with assurances from Port Moody that it can accept the new curlers in 2017, Coquitlam can now move forward with formulating its transition plans. a staff report outlining the amalgamation strategy is expected to come to Coquitlam council at a future meeting.

Investigators are still trying to determine what caused a house fire Wednesday night on forest Park Way in Port Moody. Crews arrived shortly before 10 p.m. after being informed en route that there may be people trapped inside the home.
When firefighters got there, the occupants had made their way outside of the home but said their dog was still trapped inside. “after a search of the premises, the dog was located alive,” said fire Chief Ron Coulson, who added that the dog was hiding inside the house. “We were able to use our newly deployed pet oxygen mask.” both of the occupants were treated at the scene and one was taken to hospital for
further examination, he said, although the pet and the residents are expected to make a full recovery. at this point, the cause of the fire is unknown and investigators are still trying to determine where in the house the flames started. Coulson said the damage was extensive and it took 28 firefighters to battle the blaze, which also scorched the siding of the home next door.

‘arrest warrant’ part of latest phone scam
SUBMitteD PhOtO
up to 17 people had to leave the homeless shelter on gordon avenue in coquitlam this week because the emergency weather response program closed due to warming temperatures. a handful protested outside port coquitlam mla mike farnworth’s office thursday morning.
a Coquitlam man wants to warn others after receiving a threatening call from an apparent scam artist. The resident, who asked that his name not be used, said the message was left shortly after 6 a.m. Thursday from a woman saying there was a warrant out for his arrest. “They said, ‘You have 24
hours to call this number if you want to look into it,’” he said, adding, “I guess they would ask you for money.” The woman did not identify herself or say what police department or agency she was calling from but left an ottawa-area number (613927-9751) to call back. Last year, many Tri-City residents received calls from
scammers claiming to work for the Canada Revenue agency and demanding payments, often with gift cards, to avoid arrest. anybody who suspects they have been contacted by a scam artist can call the Canadian anti-fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

lack of beds is Notice of Community Planning Advisory Committee Meeting behind shelter weather rules When: March 7, 2017 at 7pm • Where: Council Chambers, City Hall, 100 Newport Dr., Port Moody, B.C.
The Community Planning Advisory Committee is holding a public meeting to consider the following application:

Coquitlam RCMP sent the individuals on their way at the request of the property manager, Pollock said, and the pregnant woman has found space at a woman’s shelter. farnworth, who was in victoria at the legislature, is expected to raise the issue, although the shelter could re-open its EWR beds this weekend if temperatures dip. according to shelter manager adam Prytuluk, 22 people were being housed in temporary beds when the EWR ended and although five were found beds — three at a recovery home and two in market housing — the remainder had no place to go and were asked to leave, with about a week’s notice. “Throughout the EWR, that’s sort of the first talking point we have with people, [that] this is only while the extreme weather lasts,” Prytuluk said. but he agreed some of the problems relate to the lack of low-barrier shelter beds for people with addiction issues and the ongoing market rental crisis, which is making it difficult for people to find a place to rent. “We don’t have a magic wand. We don’t see how you can find a place for $375 month [shelter allowance] when a one-bedroom is $650.” during one of the coldest winters in recent memory, the shelter’s EWR beds were opened for nearly 11 weeks, an unusual situation, said Sandy burpee, who monitors the

weather and announces the emergency shelter opening. and he said he can sympathize with those who were evicted. “It’s still going to be unpleasant,” he said. The purpose of the EWR is to save people from the effects of extreme cold. “The trigger temperature is 0 degree Celsius,” burpee told The Tri-City News. “[In] a couple of municipalities, it’s actually minus 2.” The shelter opened in december 2015 with 30 regular shelter beds — private rooms with single beds — and 30 transitional apartments for longer stays, and Prytuluk said turnover in the shorter-stay beds is steady, with about 35% of clients getting space in a recovery centre and 30% finding market housing. but the average length of stay is still 60 days, leaving a number of people on the street who might not be able to find a room. Extending the extreme weather shelter so it’s open daily from mid-october to mid-March might be one solution, suggested farnworth, but it would require more funding from bC Housing. “Some areas where [they do this] they call it a heat shelter, [and] you’re not out in the rain, and I think there would be fewer people on the street seeking shelter.” Next week’s regional homeless count is expected to provide a clearer picture of the TriCities’ homeless population.

Fox display centre stage at museum royal BC Museum hosts a major terry fox exhibit Janis cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Photos and memorabilia from Port Coquitlam hero Terry fox’s Marathon of Hope will go on display in the provincial capital starting next month. Terry fox: Running to the Heart of Canada opens april 12 — 37 years to the day after fox dipped his prosthetic leg into the atlantic ocean to begin his historic fundraising drive for cancer research. The touring exhibition at the Royal bC Museum, which ends oct. 1, started its journey in 2015 at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, que., to mark the 35th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. It includes artifacts, photographs, interviews, press clippings and fox’s journal entries, allowing visitors to retrace his 143-day, 5,300-km journey from St. John’s, N.L., to Thunder bay, ont., in 1980. as well, the victoria show will include the ford E250 Econoline van that he, his friend doug alward and brother darrell fox used on the road.
SEARCH FOR TREASURE How would you like to search for a hidden treasure? You won’t even need a faded pirate map to see if X marks the spot. Coquitlam’s parks are riddled with geocaches (hidden containers), and all you’ll need to join in this real-world, outdoor hunt is a cellphone or GPS tracking device. Some are tiny and hard to find, while others are more kid-friendly, including large containers full of trinkets. Register for free at geocaching.com
STEP IT UP “Terry fox lives in the hearts and minds of many people in Canada and indeed around the world,” said Jack Lohman, CEo of the Royal bC Museum, in a news release Monday. “These very personal items will evoke much emotion and respect, inspiring all of us and the good work that flows from it.” The display was developed in partnership with the Terry fox foundation, which has its base at Sfu. a smaller version of the exhibit will be on display in Port Coquitlam from Sept. 1 to Nov. 28. Since the Gatineau opening, the exhibit has been showcased at Canada’s Sports Hall of fame
in Calgary as well as several other museums across Canada. Meanwhile, the Royal bC Museum has also included a complementary exhibit called family: bonds and belonging that pays tribute to fox’s family, which has carried on the hero’s legacy by raising more than $700 million to fight cancer. This show runs from June 2 to oct. 31 and explores the concept of family. • To share your memories of Terry Fox and comments about the touring exhibit, use the Royal BC Museum Twitter hashtags #RBCMTerryFox or #RBCMFamily.

Runners, rev your engines. Whether you’re eager to burn off some calories or are training for the fast-approaching race season, this is the season to get outdoors and hit the trails in Coquitlam. Mundy Park has 16 km of trails with varying terrain, ideal for both running and walking. It’s home to the Phoenix Running Club, the annual Pinetree Classic Cross Country Race, and a Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) Trail Race, coming up on April 2. events.mec.ca, coquitlam.ca/trails
DISC GOLF Mundy Park is home to a free nine-hole Disc Golf Course with permanent net targets on site. This game is played much like traditional golf, although instead of a ball and clubs, you throw a disc. The object is to complete each hole in the fewest throws. The course is located near Spani Pool (655 Hillcrest St.). coquitlam.ca/parkfinder
DOG DAYS Mundy Park has a great off-leash fenced area plus a number of trails allow for off-leash dogs from dawn to 10 a.m. (watch for signage). coquitlam.ca/dogparks

Two Tri-City mayors were among the local leaders asking b.C.’s political parties to weigh in on key regional issues Wednesday. Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore and Port Moody’s Mike Clay said parties seeking election May 9 must pay attention to affordable housing, transit and the environment — and voters should pay attention to the responses. Seven questions have been sent to the bC Liberals, bC NdP, bC Conservatives and the Green Party of bC with a response deadline of March 31. The answers will be posted on a new website (localgovernmentmatters.com) in the weeks leading up to the provincial election. Moore, who is the Metro vancouver board chair, said provincial funding is needed for phase two of a transportation plan that would pay for more b-lines, Handydart ser-

vices, SkyTrain cars and station upgrades, the Pattullo bridge replacement, and the Surrey and vancouver SkyTrain extensions, as well as road, walking and cycling improvements. Meanwhile, Clay, who chairs the region’s affordable housing committee, said the province needs 5,500 rental units annually to meet demand and other help is needed at the lower end of the market. “We’re hoping the provincial government and parties running for government are sharing our concern and putting together solid platforms to address this,” Clay said, noting that municipalities are already “stepping up as best we can.” “We can’t do it alone and that’s why we’re here today,”
Clay said. “We’re looking for this partnership.” on the environmental front, Metro vancouver is looking for mattresses and furniture to be added to the province’s product stewardship program — which already pays for collection and disposal of tires, batteries, beverage containers and consumer electronics, among other things. Moore said the lack of stewardship on these items means people are just dumping them on side roads and in alleys, leaving it up to the municipalities to deal with the cost of disposal. (Mattresses have been banned from the Coquitlam transfer station and now cost $15 to recycle per piece or $30
for a mattress and box spring). Metrovancouver would like each party to commit to expanding the extended producer responsibility program to include large household items by 2018. “These products are potentially a public hazard and there are significant disposal costs,” Moore said. according to Metro vancouver, while municipal governments own more than 60% of the country’s infrastructure, they collect just eight cents of every tax dollar paid in Canada. The other 92 cents go to federal, provincial and territorial governments. and while Metrovancouver will not be endorsing any political party, it will make the parties’ responses, as well as more information about this issues, available at localgovernmentmatters.com.

16? let ’em vote Should the voting age in b.C. be lowered to 16 from 18? The question was raised recently by andrew Weaver, Green Party Leader and oak bay-Gordon Head MLa, when he reintroduced his bill to lower the voting age in b.C. While it’s not likely this private member’s bill will ever see the light of day, there’s no overwhelming reason to deny younger teens the vote. as has been pointed out, they already get taxes taken off their minimum wage paycheques, they can sign up for the military and are old enough to drive — something that’s almost as dangerous as voting. True, if given the vote, many 16- and 17-year-olds might take a pass but that’s no different from older citizens, even those who pay a lot more taxes. but research has found that if young people are engaged in politics and if they vote early, they are more likely to vote later in life. Given the responsibility of voting, they might even take their lives and the world around the more seriously. This is a no-brainer: Let them vote.
what’S YOUr OPiniOn? this week’s question: Do you think the voting age shoulD be lowereD to allow people as young as 16 to cast a ballot?
last week’s question: shoulD health care be funDeD not by msp premiums but entirely by personal income taxes?

Time to talk tolls is now – before election
a
review of bridge-tolling policy won’t happen until after the spring provincial election. The decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone is clearly in the interests of the current bC Liberal government but it may not be in the interest of bridge users. The best time to apply pressure to any government is just before an election — not afterwards. Stone said last week that there FRANK BUCHOLTZ is no rush to do such a review. The province has decided it is going ahead with the deas Island bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel and it will be tolled. “If [the TransLink Mayors’ Council] move forward with a tolled bridge to replace the Pattullo, that would leave the alex fraser as the only non-tolled option, and that would not be workable for the region,” Stone said. “That being said, we also know the George Massey construction period is going to take another four and a half years. Pattullo, assuming they make a decision on that, would take four or five years. So there’s lots of

tc
time to have this discussion broadly across the region.” The review process has dragged on for far too long already. The province’s decision to have drivers who use the Port Mann bridge pay for much of the $3.3-billion cost of the entire Highway 1 improvement project — while allowing drivers who get on the highway in Coquitlam and points west to entirely escape paying tolls — set a high mark for inequity. other provincial highway projects in the region do not have tolls. The new Pitt River bridge between Port Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows is free to cross. So is the Sea-to-Sky Highway, which had a major rebuild in time for the 2010 Winter olympics. Highway 17, the perimeter road between Surrey and delta’s port, is also a free to travel. The effect of placing tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges (the latter owned by TransLink) has been twofold: It has moved traffic to free bridges, most notably the Pattullo and alex fraser; and caused much more congestion than would otherwise be the case. The second effect has been to hit drivers who use the toll bridges regularly, most notably residents of Surrey, Langley, Maple Ridge and abbotsford (and, to a lesser degree, Mission and Chilliwack) with higher taxes in the form of bridge tolls.
Interestingly, most of the ridings in those six communities are held by bC Liberal MLas. There are currently 17 MLas representing those communities in the provincial legislature and two more from delta, which is already affected by congestion on the alex fraser and will be in exactly the same boat when the new deas Island bridge opens. of those 19 MLas, only three are New democrats. one is an independent (vicki Huntington in delta South), who is not running again, and the other 15 are bC Liberals. The bC Liberals badly need to keep a strong majority in this region in order to retain power. Yet they have done very little to show that they understand the concerns of those who pay tolls on a regular basis. The provincial election is just over two months away. People who are concerned about the unfair tolling policy and the likelihood that it will continue for another four or five years (if Stone’s words are to be believed), need to apply considerable pressure to the candidates in their ridings. They need to see where the candidates from different parties stand and they need to let them know this is an election issue.

Quake concerns with Flavelle The Editor, Re. “Big plans for longtime waterfront mill site” (The TriCity News, Jan. 20). I submitted the following email to the Port Moody Community Planning advisory Committee. I think it is important and should be of general interest. To Community Planning Advisory Committee, I was pleased to see that the earthquake hazard at the flavelle site has been addressed by geotechnical studies. although the liquefaction possibility in the case of earthquake has been identified, the conclusion has been that piling support, etc. will allow construction of residential buildings. but the fill required to meet flood construction level certainly must increase earthquake hazard too. Therefore, I suggest the following with respect to the flavelle site plan: • Because the landfill depth likely increases shoreward, as would underlying mud thickness, I think it would be prudent to designate a broad
done on the flavelle site to ensure they are sufficient and accurate, and that they make appropriate recommendations. (a geotechnical consultant might be selected by your committee but paid for by flavelle). • And should the danger of earthquakes not be resolved, the entire flavelle site, when abandoned from industrial use, should be converted to park extension. (It could be purchased by the city of Port Moody for the land value based on an industrial evaluation, rather than a residential one.) Earthquake damage in areas of landfill is known to be extreme compared to destruction in non-fill areas. This was illustrated in a recent San francisco earthquake. Knowing this, approval of the flavelle site for residential construction, without sound geotechnical input, is a major and serious legal responsibility. Colin Godwin, Coquitlam (Professor Emeritus, Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, UBC)

Regarding the camouflaged doors planned to keep dementia patients from leaving their wards at Eagle Ridge Hospital, what a shame such knowledge was not shared from Riverview Hospital. It had doors camouflaged to look like flowers or kitchen shelves, etc. when I worked there in the 1990s. but hiring someone to paint the doors to look like library shelves might be quite expensive. at Riverview, they used peel-andstick vinyl wall murals.

What began as a joke between the sister of a Coquitlam woman and her husband has turned into a hallmark for the city’s annual french-Canadian festival. about 30 years ago, Marie beauregard’s husband, andré, received a toque from her sister with a frog design on it — a poke at their québécois heritage. but when andré suggested the volunteers in his and his wife’s charity copy the pattern to make money for their cause, Marie beauregard and her team reluctantly gave it a go and crocheted 36 woollen hats for the first annual festival du bois, a celebration of frenchCanadian culture and a nod to the history of Maillardville and Coquitlam. at the inaugural festival, andré beauregard encouraged his fellow Knights of Columbus members in the cabane à sucre (sugar shack) to don the toques. and they flew off the shelves. “When it first caught on, it was a really nice feeling for us because we didn’t expect it,” Marie beauregard recalled

festival du bois starts tonight (friday) and runs throughout the weekend at Mackin Park, and Marie beauregard has 24 bins full of handmade knitted
and crochet garments ready to be sold. Her team now includes nine seniors who knit year-round and three extras who pitch in when they can. as well, the week before festival du bois, beauregard’s sister, Solange LeMieux, flies from Edmonton to crochet more toques and tea cozies to meet demand. Their inventory has grown over the years to include bandanas, dickies, dish cloths, pot holders, frog stuffies, golf club covers, hats, headbands, mitts, puppets, scarves, slippers and thread catchers. They are offered at school Christmas bizarres, including those at Port Coquitlam’s archbishop Carney regional secondary and St. Thomas More Collegiate in burnaby, as well as at Coquitlam’s Canada day celebrations and in vancouver, for St. Jean baptiste day on June 24. but festival du bois is where they are most successful. This year, they will add to their list: To pay tribute to Canada’s 150th birthday, the knitting team has created red and white toques (with mini
Canadian flags) and tea cozies. Each item in the frog series also carries a Made In Canada sticker as their products are worn around the world, beauregard said. She said she has been told people have given them to friends and family from as far away as belgium and China. “My granddaughter was skiing in alberta and saw someone wearing a frog toque,” LeMieux said. “It made her laugh.” beauregard said she enjoys crocheting the frog toques — each of which takes her up to 3.5 hours. for festival du bois, she goes online to order $500 worth of yarn from an ontario supplier (over the course of the year, she’ll buy $1,500 worth of wool). She doesn’t know how many toques she has crocheted since festival du bois began 28 years ago but she’s so used to making them, “I can do it in my sleep. Luckily, my hands are in good shape and I feel it’s a gift that I don’t get sick of doing them over and over and over again.” She added, “This is my passion and it’s a good, good thing.”

coquitlam to get its first craft brewery
home brewer and garden biz owner team for Mariner
CiDery seT FOr POCO
Janis cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
In nautical terms, a mariner is a seaman who navigates a ship with a steady hand. for byron vallis, it’s a perfect word as he charts unknown waters with his business partner and girlfriend. Mariner is also a main drag vallis knows well, having grown up at the top of Mariner drive in Coquitlam — the city where he will open its first craft brewery. It’s a dream the dr. Charles best secondary grad (class of 2009) has had for at least five years. a home brewer, vallis shared his vision with his employer, Wim vander Zalm, a wellknown Coquitlam businessman who owns art Knapp Plantland in Port Coquitlam. vander Zalm liked what he heard and, in 2015 when Coquitlam city council began to look at loosening its liquor policies to allow craft breweries and distilleries, the pair thought to tap into the evergrowing market locally. They toured microbreweries in the u.S. and around Metro vancouver, figuring out how they could put a unique spin on a growing business sector.
JAniS cLeUGh/the tri-city newS
mariner brewing partner wim vander Zalm (left) with founder byron vallis and his girlfriend lauren ang, the brewery’s chief consumption officer, at their craft brew site last friday. and last year, when council finally approved new rules after months of debate, their search began to find adequate space: big enough to house four tanks and other brewing equipment, a tasting lounge, a patio and a small kitchen. They wanted their business to be central and along a public transit route. after six months, they found their spot: a 3,000-sq. ft. space at barnet Highway and Lansdowne drive (across from Milestones) with another 1,000 sq. ft. in the back for a patio that
looks towards the Evergreen Extension Skytrain line. vallis said the empty space was already zoned for commercial use — as required under the city’s new liquor rules — and could accommodate 50 seats in the lounge area and another 30 outside. Currently, city staff are reviewing their building permit application, said planner Chris Jarvie, and expect to conduct a public consultation this spring once the Liquor Control Licensing branch refers the bid to the municipality to gain feed-
back on the lounge proposal. If all goes well, “we’re hoping to be open this summer,” vallis said confidently. “We’re aiming for July,” vander Zalm added. as for parking — often a tricky topic in Coquitlam — vallis said customers driving to Mariner brewing can use one of the 80-plus spaces in the complex. “Most of the businesses here close after 5 p.m., which is when we will get busy.” Their core product — to be crafted by an award-winning Metro vancouver brewmaster
While Port Coquitlam’s first craft brewery is proposed for a spot on the Mary Hill bypass, another first is ramping up a few minutes away. Coquitlam residents david brown and Nena asuncion plan to open PoCo’s first cidery, West Coast Cider Co., in a downtown industrial site. Spokesperson Miriam Hoolahan told The Tri-City News Thursday the couple hopes to open May 1 with a tasting room and to sell its flagship apple beverages: Sunrise (semisweet) and Sunset (a dry, English-style variety). Seasonal drinks will also be available, she said. on Sunday, the ciders made their debut at the PoCo Winter blues festival — a Rotary Club fundraiser at Riverside secondary — and, in May, they will be featured at the Coquitlam farmers’ Market. as well, the company will be offering samples during the vancouver Craft beer Week festival in June. Hoolahan said West Coast Cider Co. initially plans to sell the majority of its product in bottles and draft form to restaurants and stores around Metro vancouver.
jcleugh@tricitynews.com
with 10 years of experience, whom vallis won’t yet name — will consist of an IPa, cream ale, amber ale and berliner weisse, a cloudy, sour, white beer. They will be available for off-sales in cans. as well, Mariner brewing will prepare and serve hot snacks on site — a feature that the four popular craft breweries in Port Moody (Yellow dog, Moody ales, Twin Sails and Parkside) don’t have. Ingredients will be as fresh, local and organic as possible, vander Zalm said.
already, Mariner brewing has gained kudos in the industry, including from Northpaw, a new Tri-City brewer currently crafting at foamers folly in Pitt Meadows that’s expected to make an announcement this week about its new location. “Mariner has a great space and byron is a great guy and we hope he kills it,” Northpaw’s Courtney brown told The Tri-City News via email, “and we will support any and everything he and [Lauren and Wim] do in Coquitlam.”

crunch challenge aims to reach new heights sarah Payne
want to help with the crunch?
The Tri-CiTy News
organizers of the Coquitlam Crunch diversity Challenge are aiming to make the event’s eighth year the biggest one yet, and are hoping to woo new volunteers to help make it happen. Co-organizer Robbin Whachell said feedback from past participants has prompted them to expand the challenge with more climbers, sponsors and representation from local diversity groups. but they’ll need help to do it, she said, with a planning meeting on March 7 to kick off preparations. “We’re really looking for volunteers to help with outreach to diversity groups, school groups and community groups, as well as help out on the day,” Whachell told The Tri-City News. on the day of the challenge in September, volunteers are needed at street crossings along the route, making sure participants are going in the right direction, to help at the medal presentations and for set-up and tear-down. In previous years, about 100 to 150 participants have joined the challenge and organizers are hoping to grow that number significantly, Whachell said, noting it has transforming from
anyone interested in volunteering, organizing or sponsoring the Coquitlam Crunch diversity Challenge on Sept. 9 can attend the planning meeting on Tuesday, March 7 in the dogwood Pavilion craft room at 7 p.m. Email coquitlamcrunch@gmail.com for more information. its grassroots beginnings into a more professionally organized event. but that brings with it more costs, including a chip timing system, flags and signage, and — new this year — award medals. “It’s a great way for sponsors to get involved and have their signage and logos be part of the event,” Whachell said. The Coquitlam Crunch diversity Challenge is the main source of funding for the Coquitlam foundation’s diversity fund, which was established in 2011 to bring together marginalized groups in the community. “In particular, it’s aimed at trying to bring diverse groups together, such as seniors and youth, people of different cultures or different religions,” said dwight Yochim, the foundation’s executive director. “It lets people know about the Coquitlam Crunch… It helps raise the profile of the trail
and raises funds for a worthy cause,” Yochim said. “In this day and age, that kind of cause is hugely beneficial.” There are a few ways to participate in Coquitlam Crunch diversity Challenge, and a full six months to prepare. The Stair Master — a new addition to the event — tests participants’ stair-climbing skills at top speed, with the goal to fly up the 437 steps as quickly as possible from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Endurance crunchers can take on the Make It or break It category, plodding up the hill as many times as they can between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and for those who just want to enjoy a fun hike, the Recreational category gives families and individuals a workout at their own pace between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Early bird registration has begun at www.coquitlamcrunch.com.

“I go on board to make sure the tanker conforms with international safety guidelines.” – Captain Robert Scott, Loading Master, Kinder Morgan Canada
Tankers calling at Trans Mountain’s loading dock must comply with internationally accepted oil-handling safety protocols and best practices. If the expansion is approved, enhanced measures will make sure that risks to our waterways from Trans Mountain tanker traffic will remain extremely low. We have been committed to safety for over 60 years – and we intend to keep it that way.
•
Tankers calling at Westridge Marine Terminal are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards.
•
All vessels must go through rigid pre-screening and physical inspection.
•
Only double hulled tankers are allowed.
•
Two expert local pilots are on board loaded tankers to Victoria. In future, pilots will disembark at Race Rocks, extending the piloted distance.
•
An expanded tug escort regime will cover the entire tanker route – from Burnaby past the North Shore, through the Strait of Georgia and the Juan de Fuca Strait.
•
Transport Canada’s certified marine-based spill response organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC), is on call 24/7.
•
More than $150 million will be invested in WCMRC to create new response bases, fund new equipment and employ 100 new people. This will double the spill response capabilities and cut mandated response times in half.
•
To support the ‘polluter pay principle’ enshrined in Canada’s spill response regime, there is an approximate $1.548 billion industry fund available for response cost and compensation in the unlikely event of a marine spill.

MARCH 9-12, 2017 INLET THEATRE 100 NEWPORT DRIVE
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Welcome to Port Moody and the Inlet Theatre. And thank you for joining us for the 17th Annual Port Moody Canadian Film Festival. I want to thank the Film Society and all the volunteers who work so hard to put on this wonderful event each year. Film is a powerful medium for sharing stories, and once again, the Festival brings us some of the best stories told by Canadian filmmakers through these feature length and short films. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the show! Mayor Mike Clay City of Port Moody
For Tickets and Showtimes Visit www.pmfilm.ca
MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “What is Canadian cinema?”-- a question that haunts critics, programmers and the box office of our homegrown films. But with all the cynical talk surrounding the identity crisis of Canadian cinema, it’s easy to miss a movement of films already emerging from coast to coast. A new crop of filmmakers have challenged monolithic answers to that question and demonstrated that Canadian cinema is healthiest when it flourishes in a mosaic of styles, identities and concerns. We’ve done our best to select works that encapsulate what we see as a significant change in the landscape of Canadian film. Whether this be a gonzo riff on conspiracies of the Apollo moon landings, a formally innovative look at two methadone addicts in Cape Breton, or an analysis of Canada’s colonial history through junior hockey, I’m excited to present some of the future of Canadian cinema and the array of ideas and forms therein.
Vic + Flo Saw a Bear, the winner of the Silver Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2013, tells the surreal story of two lesbian ex-cons who take up asylum in the backwoods of a Quebec town.

Bhreagh MacNeil, Andrew Gillis Directed by: Ashley McKenzie 78 Minutes
Blaise and Nessa, a methadone-addicted couple born, raised, and trapped in Cape Breton are the heartrending subjects of Ashley McKenzie’s deeply personal film. Werewolf, among the very best Canadian debuts of the decade, has enough empathy, insights and raw power to shred the veil separating the viewer from the ‘other.’ Preceded by the short film UNTITLED directed by Devan Scott.
Directed by: Nettie Wild 96 Minutes
Nettie Wild’s visually ravishing film analyzes how differences in race, culture and generations shape how we understand nature and our place within it. Rapturous, awe inspiring and sophisticated, KONELINE breaks the pre-conceptions of industrialists and environmentalist’s alike, allowing its subjects’ point of view to come through with grace and charity. Preceded by the short film COUNTER ACT directed by Heath Affolter, Jon Affolter, Nathan Affolter, & Thomas Affolter.
Tatiana Maslany, Tom Cullen Directed By: Joey Klein 103 Minutes
Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany gives one of her strongest performances to date in Joey Kline’s The Other Half, an impressionistic love story about grief and mental illness.

A mockumentary riffing on conspiracy theories about faking the Apollo 11 moon landing, Operation Avalanche follows two CIA desk-jockeys in 1969 as they go undercover at NASA to search for a Russian mole, but get more than they bargained for when they’re caught up in a world of espionage and paranoia. Preceded by the short film GROCERY STORE ACTION MOVIE directed by Matthew Campbell.

Admission: $7 per screening with annual $5 membership (good until Dec 31, 2017), at the door every Festival evening starting at 6pm. All films are screened at Inlet Theatre, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody.
Tyson’s act of violence against the opposing team results in a downward spiral of painful introspection and a loss of identity, not only as a person, but as a citizen. Driven by character over plot, and boasting incisively poignant cinematography to match its subject matter, Hello Destroyer is gut-churningly emotional, forcing Canadians to look in and mirror and confront the toxicity within our culture.

Only Eight Completed New Townhomes for Sale in Entire Metro Region: UDI Report
T
here were just eight completed and unsold new townhouses available across the entire Metro Vancouver region as of December 31, 2016, according to the Urban Development Institute’s (UDI) State of the Market 4thQ 2016 Research Report published February 20. The quarterly report – which is compiled by research group Urban Analytics on behalf of UDI Pacific Region and examines local new home sales, housing supply and population growth – reveals a severe shortage of new home inventory despite record housing starts in 2016. Anne McMullin, UDI Pacific Region president and CEO, said, “The report confirms that doing nothing, blaming foreign buyers, or introducing new, punitive taxes have not
made housing more plentiful or affordable for home-seekers. “We need more houses for more people, especially along rapid transit corridors. We have plenty of available land, but 85 per cent of it is locked up as restrictive, single-family zoning, meaning no multi-family condos, townhomes, rowhomes, duplexes or even sales of laneway homes are permitted. “Coupled with years of delays in multifamily building approvals, rising land costs and lack of available land to build on … home-seekers can count on prices to keep rising.” McMullin added, “We all have to share in the solutions and consider the greater good and community health.” The report cited low inventory across
all property types, highlighting new-build condo-apartment units in particular. It said, “At the end of Q4 2016, there were a total of 3,416 new multi-family homes available to purchase, which is down 30 per cent from the same quarter last year and still near historic lows. Low released and unsold inventory levels continue to be a primary contributor to the lack of new home affordability across the region.” New Home Sales Recovering Following a slower third quarter of 2016, sales of new condo units in Metro Vancouver recovered by 46 per cent in Q4. The report said, “A combined total of 4,347 new multifamily home sales were recorded in Q4 2016 and while this total is down 15 per cent from
a near-record total recorded in Q4 2015, note that they were up 46 per cent from last quarter.” Population growth remains on a steady growth trajectory and continues to be a key contributor to a strong housing market, according to the report, with Metro Vancouver’s population up 30,700 residents over the past year. The report also looked at global economic factors affecting local real estate, including the election of Donald Trump as US president and his recent travel ban on seven countries. The report added, “While the ramifications of this policy are uncertain, our stance is that immigration controls such as these only further elevate the status of Canada as a safe and desirable place to immigrate to.”

t-Wolves get ready for the big stage Coquitlam club locks up final provincial berth gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam’s Pinetree Timberwolves will be the lone Tri-City team competing when the aaaa boys’ high school basketball provincial championships get underway in Langley next week. The club secured the last available provincial berth on Sunday when the team took down Tamanawis secondary 78-74 in the seventh-place game at the fraser valley Championship. The win was enough to punch the team’s ticket to the provincials — the first time the Timberwolves have accomplished the feat since moving to the aaaa division four years ago. Pinetree had a strong start to the fraser valley playdowns when the tournament began feb. 15, taking down Sardis secondary 97-77 in the first game. However, the club struggled two days later in a match against W.J. Mouat, who defeated the Timberwolves 94-60. Pinetree bounced back with a 60-53 win over North Surrey,
which kept their provincial championship hopes alive heading into the fraser valley Championship last week. down to the final eight teams, the Coquitlam club defeated Panorama Ridge 75-65 on day one before falling to Lord Tweedsmuir 94-69 last Thursday. That set the stage for Sunday’s showdown against Tamanawis and Pinetree’s seventh place finish. This year has been a remarkable turnaround for Pinetree, which did not even make the fraser valley playdowns last year, finishing the 2017 regular season with an undefeated 7-0 record. Meanwhile, Port Moody’s Heritage Woods Kodiaks and Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs kept their season alive heading into last weekend’s fraser valley Championship. However, both clubs lost their first games — Centennial in an 81-69 bout against Tamanawis and Heritage Woods in a 78-62 loss to Yale — which ended their playoff run. The 2017 provincial championship draw will be announced this weekend and games are set to begin on March 8 at the Langley Events Centre. for up to date scores and information go to www.bchighschoolbasketballchampionships.com.
