COQUITLAM

More towers proposed for City Centre 11 new highrises could go up near Lincoln Station Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Plans to build 11 towers next to the Lincoln SkyTrain station as the first phase of the Coquitlam Centre mall redevelopment are in the works at city hall.

But putting a shovel in the ground is going to take a while.

Morguard Investments, which manages the mall, has four applications on file for the property. One is for a development permit for the first phase of the project, which proposes “approximately 11 towers.” The high rises would be constructed on the northeast corner of the mall property’s footprint along the west side of Pinetree Way. see CITY STAFF, page 15

TERRY FOX SECONDARY

Teens promote consent culture Diane StranDberG Tri-CiTy News

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Will Hazell offers his version of what happened at a “crime scene” being investigated by Grade 12 law and biology students at Heritage Woods secondary. See story, page 22.

A group of Terry Fox secondary students want to change attitudes toward sexual assault and promote a culture of consent to prevent sexual violence in relationships among young people, particularly LGBTQ youth who are most at risk.

They’re holding a silent protest, pasting school walls with

posters and posting a video they made on YouTube to raise awareness about sexual assault and the importance of mutual consent.

At a time when the #MeToo movement is challenging accepted norms, the Terry Fox secondary awareness campaign offers the youth point of view on a controversial topic. see TERRY FOX, page 14

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Fee hike proposed to cover rising land costs UDI suggests districts use land more efficiently Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Schools built over multiple storeys that have community space and are next to parks would better serve a growing population where land is scarce and costly, said the Urban Development Institute.

The non-profit association representing the development industry is making the comments after learning that School District 43 is planning to increase fees developers pay for new schools because of a sharp increase in land prices.

Under a proposal to be shared with the cities of Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra and passed on to builders in those areas if approved, school site acquisition charges will increase from $392 per unit to $600 for high density condo projects and from $654 to $1,000 per unit for low-density detached homes.

“Developers support fees that are actually targeted toward provision of this important educational amenity,” said Anne McMullin, president and CEO of UDI, in an email statement.

But she suggested school

LEFT: UDI PHOTO; RIGHT: MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-cITy nEwS

Left: Vancouver’s new four-storey Crosstown elementary school is cited as an example of a good use of land in a dense area, where land costs are high. Right: Land costs for a new school at the Flavelle Oceanfront Development, where 7,000 people are expected to move in the next decade in Port Moody, have jumped form $9 million last year to $40.2 million this year for 1.6 hectares. districts consider “building up rather than out” when it comes to schools, citing as an example Crosstown elementary in Vancouver, which is four storeys and built above a parkade.

McMullin is concerned that while school site acquisition charges aren’t a large burden on their own, when added to other fees developers pay they can increase to the cost of homes.

“While many of the government taxes and fees contribute to crucial hard costs like new schools or water and sewer infrastructure, many like the province’s increased school

tax [which also applies to residential development lands] do not and go toward general revenue. Cumulatively, there is little doubt these layers of taxes and fees are only making housing more expensive,” she added.

SMALLER FOOTPRINT The school acquisition site charges are mandated by the provincial government, collected by the municipalities and then transferred to the school district twice a year to be held in reserve to purchase land for schools.

McMullin’s comments come as SD43 has admitted it needs

to look at new ways to build schools to make them more affordable.

Officials told trustees at last Tuesday’s board of education meeting that Vancouver is being looked at as an example of how to utilize land more efficiently.

Sites for new schools in undeveloped areas are already being pared down in the district’s eligible school site proposal from 2.5 hectares per school site — about six acres — to one hectare or slightly more for areas where land costs are sharply rising.

The district also works with cities on joint use agreements

for fields built and owned by the city, but shared with schools.

“We’re becoming more urbanized,” acknowledged Ivano Cecchini, assistant secretary treasurer of facilities and planning, who told the board future schools will “maximize areas for play on a smaller footprint.”

The problem is becoming particularly acute when property changes from industrial to urban. In Port Moody, for example, the district is planning to acquire 1.6 hectares on the former Flavelle cedar mill site, which has received Metro Vancouver approval for a change in the land use

designation for the 12.7-acre site from industrial to general urban use.

The long-term plan for that property is to build 3,400 residential units for up to 7,000 residents and SD43 requires 1.6 hectares for a new school for 430 students with land costs estimated at a stunning $40.2 million.

Last year, costs were projected at just $9 million.

Another area where the district is facing challenges is Fraser Mills in Coquitlam, where a school had been slated but was removed when density dropped. More homes are now projected and a one-hectare site is being contemplated, but as yet there is no land set aside in the current plan.

Estimated land costs for a new school there is $12 million.

Other schools planned to meet future development needs are: Riverwalk, for 430 students at a cost of $13.8 million for 2.5 hectares, up from $9 million last year; Marigold elementary for 430 students at a cost of $13.8 million, up from $9 million last year; and a new elementary school for Anmore/Port Moody for 430 students on 2.5 acres at a cost of $8.7 million.

Land costs are based on independent sources and appraisals, according to the school district. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

Relationships forged during China trip, says trustees Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Trustee trips to China are necessary because face-toface meetings with officials are important for building relationships, a board of education meeting was told.

That was the claim made by superintendent Patricia

Gartland and international education officials who said the trip trustees made between Feb. 26 and March 9 and paid for by the China Confucius Institute was critical for getting agreements signed with Chinese officials and ensuring the long-term feasibility of the program.

“This is a community that wants to be friends with the world and having all of our children to be friendly and tolerant of other people in the world,” Gartland said as part of her presentation on the

program, which has students pay $15,000 fees to attend public schools here.

The board’s presence at high level meetings with Chinese school officials was also described as key to getting more Chinese youngsters enrolled in SD43 summer programs.

But for one of SD43’s key unions, the trip is a conflict of interest and should be explained by trustees.

“I’m waiting for some transparency on this,” CUPE 561 president Dave Ginter told The

Tri-City News.

“I was expecting to know why it wasn’t a conflict of interest,” the union head added, noting that employees have to abide by a code of conduct that discourages the acceptance of gifts from contractors.

REVENUE

The hour-long report to trustees at last Tuesday’s board of education meeting comes months after trustees went to China to meet with officials, visit schools and sign memorandums of agreement

for more students to study here.

The visit cost $54,600 and was paid for by a grant from the China Confucius Institute affiliated with the Chinese education ministry. At the time, it raised concerns in some quarters about a conflict of interest if trustees going on the trip have to make decisions about the program in the future.

However, in an hour-long presentation that included videos, student testimonials, photos of trustees in

China (and now posted to the district’s website at sd43. bc.ca under publications), Gartland and international education staff described several benefits of the program and credited trustees for making it happen.

The trips have been ongoing since 2007 and help fuel a $37 million revenue-generating enterprise, which pays for teachers, cultural programs, support services and more, according to SD43 officials. see FOREIGN, page 10

ALS SOCIETY OF BC

Golfers teeing it up for ALS MArio BArteL The Tri-CiTy News

Mike Heenan, Dean Kuntz and Randy Smith play golf for a living.

On Monday, the three pros at Vancouver Golf Club will be joined by club member Bob McCusker for an epic day of the game so people stricken with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) might stand a better chance of living.

The golf-a-thon has been an annual June ritual at more than 30 golf clubs around British Columbia for 13 years. Teams of golfers play as many rounds as they can from dawn’s first light until it’s impossible to see the ball in the last rays of twilight. For the Coquitlam foursome, that means a 6:30 a.m. start, and they won’t be able to put up their spike shoes until sometime after 10 p.m.

Staying focussed that long can be a challenge, said Heenan, the assistant pro at the private club on Austin Avenue. But the four golfers make it fun and keep it interesting by starting fast and then inviting other members to join them along the way.

Heenan said his group will polish off the first few rounds of 18 holes in about 90 minutes each, much quicker than the usual four or five hours. They’ll move from hole to hole on electric carts, running down the charge on three of them

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The golf pros at Vancouver Golf Club, (right to left) Mike Heenan, Dean Kuntz and Randy Smith, are ready for a full day of the game on Monday, when they’ll each play about 80 holes from sunrise to sunset to raise money for the ALS Society of BC. over the course of the day.

Heenan said other members of the club already on the links readily let them play through so they can stay on pace.

“It creates a camaraderie amongst the membership,” Heenan said, adding the club first got involved with the Professional Golfers Association of BC initiative in 2014 after one of its members was stricken by the disease that slowly degenerates a victim’s motor neurons until they’re completely disabled in two to

Port Moody’s Annual Report In accordance with Sections 97 to 99 of the Community Charter, Port Moody Council has prepared an annual report, which is available for public inspection and comment starting June 11, 2018.

It also outlines how the City met 2017 goals set out in Port Moody Council’s Strategic Plan.

five years and they eventually succumb. There’s no known cause or cure yet.

But as the day wears on, the golf-a-thon becomes more of a marathon, said Kuntz, the club’s associate pro.

“You just try to take it a hole at a time.”

Some of those holes might even see a small wager or two, just to keep everyone engaged, he said. Winnings are rolled right back to the cause.

By the end of the day, the foursome expects to complete

as many as 80 holes. All told, the club will play almost 400 holes, each stroke counted on scorecards.

But the most important number will be the $15,000 or so raised that day, in addition to the $130,000 the club has already contributed to the ALS Society of BC through various events over the years.

“It’s a blast,” Heenan said.

“It’s for a good cause.”

CASINO JOB ACTION

Access gala will go ahead despite strike Non-profit says it would be too costly to postpone GrAnt GrAnGer The Tri-CiTy News

The Access Youth Outreach Services’ Once Upon A Time gala is going ahead Saturday at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver despite the Coquitlam gaming operation being behind a picket line.

Casino workers, members of the B.C. Government and Services Employees Union (BCGEU), have been on strike since May 11 seeking increased wages and “fair treatment” from the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation.

Access executive director Jerome Bouvier said the difficult decision to go ahead with the gala was made because it would be too much of a financial hit to the cash-strapped organization not to.

“I respect the situation that they’re in and I hope they would respect the situation we are in as a small non-profit.

We looked at other options prior to this, but unfortunately we are in a situation if we don’t go ahead with this we

JEROME BOUVIER will lose significantly,” said Bouvier.

“To put off an event would impact us greatly to the point where we would have to cut back our hours and programs greatly and I don’t want that to happen. I have a responsibility to our organization and I would hope (the BCGEU) would respect that as well.”

Bouvier said Access also respects the non-profit’s supporters who decide not to come because of the strike. He said he had sympathy for the casino workers because he’s walked picket lines as a union member before. He’s hoping there won’t be any confrontations.

“I was on the sidewalk, but never got into people’s faces and scream. It makes me

uncomfortable to think that people would do that. I would hope there would be respect for people’s choices either way,” said Bouvier. “Being confrontational should not be something that should be in the equation, I should hope.”

He said an email to him from the casino outlined a process that was in place in which the picketers aren’t supposed to disrupt ticketed events two hours prior and one hour after. But a BCGEU spokeswoman told The TriCity News earlier this week that no deal is in place that would allow anyone to cross its picket line.

“We understand this is an important organization and we’re hoping they find a way to hold the event at a different time or somewhere else, because we do agree it is an important event, and they will benefit from maximum attendance at the event which they wouldn’t get behind picket lines,” said the spokeswoman.

Bouvier said he realizes the gala’s attendance could suffer because some Access supporters will choose not to cross the picket line, but calling it off could jeopardize the safety and health of youth in the Tri-Cities.

dealing with chafer beetle?

we’re here to help!

beetle mania

Pick up your nematodes from a garden centre now!

Tri-City residents can start to reclaim their lawns from the European Chafer beetle by picking up nematodes now from garden stores and landscaping professionals. Nematodes are tiny worms that live in the soil. When applied correctly, these worms kill Chafer beetles without harming plants, people or pets. You’ll want to get them now, and plan to apply them in late July.

A healthy lawn is your best defence. If you have Chafer beetle damage, focus on these three lawn care tips right now: The European Chafer beetle is an invasive insect pest. Its larvae feed on the roots of grasses, causing serious damage to lawns.

NEXT MONTH: It’s time to use those nematodes! Apply these microscopic worms that feed on Chafer grubs during the third week of July, and make sure to follow directions.

New building to include affordable rental units

Notice of Road Closure The City of Port Coquitlam hereby gives notice of its intention to close to traffic the laneway outlined in black on the attached map. The road dedication on the road allowance will be removed.

The closed road will be consolidated with the Community Recreation Centre land adjacent to it for a parking area for Westwood Center, located at 2748 Lougheed Hwy.

Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

A new rental building being proposed for the site of a mobile home park on Dewdney Trunk Road in Port Moody will now include five belowmarket units, a move that will offset the five occupied mobile homes displaced by the project, said the developer.

The company, PC Urban, said it will help those residents find new homes as well as financial assistance to subsidize their new living costs.

The company will also pay all their moving costs and a cash equivalent to 12-months rent.

It estimates the cost of the relocation program to be about $20,000 per tenant.

Port Moody councillor Hunter Madsen said the addition of five affordable units in the 229-unit project is “big news,” as councillors gave first and second reading at Tuesday’s city council meeting to amendments to the city’s official community plan and bylaws to allow the project to proceed to a public hearing on July 10.

Coun. Meghan Lahti said the construction of new rental housing in Port Moody fills an important need in the city. PC Urban’s project would be the

Last December, council approved the development of a 142-unit project on St. Johns Street, just west of Moray.

But she cautioned the city has to remain vigilant new market-rental units don’t come at the expense of affordable ones.

“We have other affordable housing spaces in the city in areas that are ripe for redevelopment,” she said.

PC Urban acquired the mobile home park at 3370 Dewdney Trunk Rd. last August. At the time, only seven of its 17 pads were occupied, but residents of two of the homes have since moved on.

The remaining 12 pads are “abandoned and dilapidated,” said the company in its application for rezoning.

The company said the majority of the units in the six-storey building will be two bedrooms, but there will be one- and three-bedroom apartments available as well.

Its request for fewer parking spots than required by city bylaws will be offset by providing six-month Compass cards for residents to use on transit, memberships and credits to a car share service as well as two parking spaces dedicated to that service, and space to park 350 bikes. The property is about a five-minute walk from the Inlet Centre SkyTrain station.

Road Closure and Removal of Highway Dedication Bylaw, 2018, No. 4060 will be considered for adoption by Council at its regular meeting at Port Coquitlam City Hall, 2580 Shaughnessy Street, Port Coquitlam, B.C., on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, at 7 p.m. At that meeting, all persons will be given an opportunity to make representations to Council regarding the matter above.

Written submissions can be emailed to corporateoffice@portcoquitlam.ca; submissions should be received by the Corporate Office no later than 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26, 2018.

Trustees joined superintendent Patricia Gartland on a trip to China in March to promote the district’s international education program. Last week, the benefits of the program were outlined in an hour-long presentation to the board.

Foreign students driving revenues continued from page 3

During the trip, described as “exhausting,” trustees visited Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, met with education bureaus and embassy officials to promote the district and visited schools where they learned how teachers use Micro:bits to teach coding, a program also in place in middle schools here.

Gartland said SD43 students benefit because they learn how to be global citizens and can take part in cultural exchanges.

She also added that resident students are not displaced by foreign students.

According to SD43, international education generates $60 million in local economic benefits, helps homestay families generate extra income of between $10,000 and $12,000 annually and gives the Tri-Cities a “heightened international profile,” which attracts invest-

ment and creates jobs.

This past year, 2,035 foreign students attended schools here — 1,668 at the secondary level, 182 at middle school and 185 at elementary school.

The fees they paid generated 132 teaching jobs and $700,000 for host schools. The program also runs in the summer, creating 100 summer teaching jobs, volunteer hours for students as well as income for the district.

In her presentation, principal Jean Wong noted that international education also paid $1,000 to each high school to cover grad costs for students who couldn’t pay, added extra staff and paid for multicultural initiatives.

However, foreign students’ mental health and safety was an issue raised by trustees, but they were assured that counsellors are available to help as well as a 24/7 insurance program called Guard Me. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

City of Coquitlam

NOTICE OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION The City has received an application to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to portions of the properties located at 1383 and 1385 Glenbrook Street, as shown on the attached map.

BEEDIE GROUP

A rendering of the proposed Saputo dairy plant, to be built on Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

New Saputo plant planned for PoCo A 20-acre site on Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam may soon be home to a Saputo dairy plant.

Tuesday, the city’s smart growth committee will review a development permit bid by the Beedie Group, which owns the former Esco foundry site at 1889 Kingsway Ave., to build a milk processing facility in the heavy-industrial neighbourhood.

Saputo was not immediately available to comment on the application before The Tri-City News’ print deadline Thursday; however, according to the public company’s quarterly report ending March 31 — re-

leased last week — it noted the $240-million project in its three-year capital expenditure plan “to better serve the market in Western Canada.”

Saputo is the largest cheese manufacturer and leading fluid milk and cream processor in the country, distributing nearly 232 million litres of product a year in B.C. — with threequarters of it going to locations around Metro Vancouver.

Saputo plans to fund the construction of the PoCo facility with the $218 million it will gain from the sale of its Burnaby facility, which is set to close next year (it will continue to lease that site until the PoCo

building is ready, in 2021).

If approved by the PoCo committee on June 19, the facility will include two buildings covering 358,093 sq. ft., with 353 parking spaces and 34 loading bays.

The committee chair, Coun.

Brad West, said the business will provide “an infusion of really good-paying jobs in our community. You don’t see a lot of large-scale industrial developments going up like this any more.”

He added, “To me, it’s such a positive... We want to see more of these types of things happening in the future.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The application proposes a redesignation of the subject sites from Estate Single Family to Large Village Single Family to facilitate the subdivision of 4 proposed RS-8 Large Village Single Family Residential lots fronting on Princeton Avenue.

These lots are a part of a larger 6-lot subdivision. The other 2 lots will remain RS-11 Estate Single Family Residential under the existing Estate Single Family designation and will front on Glenbrook Street.

You are now being invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application.

The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Thursday, June 28, 2018. Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways: • By email: clerks@coquitlam.ca • Fax: 604-927-3015 • Mail: City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 7N2 • In person at City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way at the City Clerk’s Office during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday, May 28, 2018 to Thursday, June 28, 2018 excluding statutory holidays To obtain more information on this application, you may: • Visit the Planning and Development Department at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays; • Call Jenna Cook, Planning Technician, Planning and Development Department, at 604-927-3469; or • Email Jenna Cook, Planning Technician, Planning and Development Department, at jenna.cook@coquitlam.ca.

All written submissions provided in response to this consultation will become part of the public record which includes the submissions being made available for public inspection at Coquitlam City Hall (at the Planning and Development counter) and potentially on our website as part of a future agenda package at www.coquitlam.ca/agendas.

Should Council grant first reading to the proposed CWOCP amendment, a Public Hearing will be held with notification to be provided in accordance with the Local Government Act.

OUR OPINION

Electric options

H

ow far should a city go in making developers install electric vehicle charging outlets in new condo projects?

Those who favour a market approach prefer to let builders add them on a voluntary basis to meet customer demand while others say the city should get involved and make them a requirement so new buildings coming down the pipe are well equipped. one thing is for sure, even though Level 1 or 120 volt is adequate for charging a car, it’s not the gold standard so if these charging stations are going to be built they should be for faster Level 2 or higher charges.

Coquitlam is taking its time making this decision and so it should because there are already a lot of costs being piled on new developments and adding to the price of homes. but in the end, councillors will find that requiring a minimum Level 2 to be shared between two or more units is a sensible and not too onerous requirement.

TRANSPORTATION

Mobility pricing has me feeling unmoved a

s you’re stuck in traffic on the Lions Gate or the Port Mann bridge this evening, consider this: it could be worse. You could be paying $4.59 for the privilege.

Something called the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission has issued a report recommending two ways of dealing with traffic congestion, both of them charging those stuck in traffic — we, the victims — for the right to be stuck in traffic.

PAUL SULLIVAN one way is to charge people at “congestion points.” The Lions Gate bridge is an excellent example of a congestion point, jamming six lanes into one. So instead of widening the road or providing better transit (and by better transit I don’t mean another bus full of human sardines), the independent commission suggests charging drivers a fee for putting up with said congestion point, coming ($3.55 in the morning) and going ($4.55 in the evening).

I’m not making this up. another idea from the folks who brought you congestion points DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

is “distance-based” pricing: charging you up to 32 cents a kilometre for going to work and coming home during rush hour.

Seriously, what do you expect from something called the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission, an orwellian construct of the first order?

“Mobility pricing” refers to the practice of charging people for being stuck in traffic. It has nothing to do with mobility.

“Independent commission” it’s not. It’s a creature of TransLink and the Metro vancouver Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation. Whatever that means, you can bet it’s going to cost we the drivers in the long run.

The thinking behind all this, independent or otherwise, is seriously flawed. Increasing the cost of the commute may temporarily reduce the volume of traffic during rush hour as people try to avoid the fine. but many people are required to drive there at this time and so are unfairly penalized for their lack of flexibility.

Perhaps if the toll is earmarked for road improvements and better transit, it might have merit, but you know where that money is going — down a deep black hole called general revenue.

Meanwhile, metro will continue to jam six lanes into one, as now congestion becomes a revenue source. Every time you want

a little decongestion, you hike up the congestion toll. Maybe the thinking is not so much flawed, but diabolical.

Here’s the thing. Every year, metro has more people than the year before. Every year, the auto industry sells more cars than the year before. Every year, the Lions Gate bridge still has three lanes.

Mobility pricing may loosen up traffic a bit at first, but there’s plenty of fresh supply waiting to clog the artery. driving to work mobility-pricing free is not a right, but metro motorists already pay for the privilege by having the highest gasoline prices in North america. So let’s make it more expensive, eh?

The current provincial government is the current provincial government only after promising to abandon tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges. So it’s not likely to support mobility pricing unless the public has a change of heart or unless they score a secure majority government, which is usually an opportunity to implement new taxes.

I’m not sure how long it will take, but I’m convinced mobility pricing is inevitable. It’s the perfect government solution — a new source of perpetual revenue that increases every year.

I can’t wait to pay my fare share.

IN THE WILD

TC wildlife needs better protection

With U.S. President Donald Trump in open disagreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on trade, a pipeline is needed, argues one letter writer. tri-city newS file photo

TRANS MOUNTAIN

Pipeline in nat’l interest The Editor, President Donald Trump’s tirades against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — and by implication the Canadian people — raises the issue again of our national interest, something our prime minister had already been trying to bring forward before he was left with no other option but to nationalize the Trans Mountain Pipeline.  Alberta oil is sold at a discount to the U.S. and our neighbours to the south will always have the upper hand

over our oil sands development as long as it remains land-locked and as long as we are unable to get our resources to tidewater.

In other words, it’s in the national interest to diversify and open up new markets across the Pacific Ocean. Of course, it’s vital that we do so safely, and with an eye on the environment.

But Trump’s tariff threats actually demonstrate the vulnerability of Canadian sovereignty. I am afraid that the BC Green MLAs, federal Green

Party leader Elizabeth May and BC NDP Premier John Horgan — all of whom represent idyllic Vancouver Island ridings — suffer a twofold separation from the concerns of the rest of Canada.  They are out of touch with core national interests because the Strait of Georgia removes them from the continent.

And they, along with the rest of B.C. including the Lower Mainland, which suffers from a terrible case of NIMBYism (Not In My Backyard), are cut off from the rest of Canada be-

cause of the Rocky Mountains.

Given the degree of separation, British Columbia is more like Quebec, which former Prime Minister Stephen Harper recognized as a distinct society, or better yet, like Newfoundland, which is surrounded by water. But because of this, both the BC NDP and the BC Greens are a bit tone deaf on the national interest when it might be wiser to be more afraid of Washington than Ottawa.

#METOO MOVEMENT

Terry Fox students shine light on sexual violence continued from front page

And so far the students don’t seem to be shying away from the spotlight.

“I wanted to let other kids know you don’t need to be scared to help out and learn about #MeToo and consent culture,” explained Michael Evans, a defensive lineman on the highly-ranked AAA Ravens football team, who got team members to participate in a video on consent culture that has been posted to YouTube.

The goal is to get as many people as possible to see the video that talks about the prevalence of sexual assault and ways to combat it through consent culture promoting respect and positive sexuality. Carolina Dervalli, who co-wrote and directed the video with Evans, said she wanted students to understand that it’s not OK to idolize violent relationships based on power and entitlement or blame the victim.

“I thought we could put it [the video] together to let people know it’s not normal and you have to talk about it,” Dervalli said.

Another group of students held a silent protest on Tuesday, raising awareness about the #MeToo movement and calling for more resources to support victims.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

About 20 Terry Fox students, including this student, participated in a silent protest Tuesday to raise awareness about the #MeToo movement.

The students put tape on their mouths so they couldn’t speak for the entire school day and held up signs explaining their protest.

Sarah Cronkhite and Kayla Tso, both in Grade 12, said for the most part students were curious about the protest and wanted to know more.

“We heard from a lot of people and it got a conversation started,” said Tso. Dealing with such topical issues is common for students in Ryan Cho’s Social Justice 12 class, but it’s unusual for students to challenge their peers in such a forceful and engag-

ing way.

Dervalli said she wanted to do a video because she thought it would be a powerful tool to challenge attitudes.

In Brazil, where she is from, sexual assault is common and in Canada, it affects one in four women and one in six men.

But by changing attitudes, she said she hopes sexual violence will be reduced. Evans, meanwhile, said athletes can sometimes act badly, but his fellow Fox members are respectful, even if they joked a bit before tackling the serious topic of sexual assault on the video.

“I wanted to show that just because you play sports doesn’t mean you can’t care about others.”

Cho said he was impressed by the video, which features members of the Ravens football team talking about rape culture and would like to see a professional sports organization, such as the BC Lions, take it on and promote it.

So far that hasn’t happened, but the students and Cho said they believe it’s time the younger generation started making a difference to end sexual violence.

“If you’re a Fox student you now know that you can be more than a top academic or an elite athlete,” Cho said. “You can be a role model.”

City staff stress mall plans are preliminary continued from front page

They would be between Atlantic and Northern avenues to the north and the former Sears building to the south, said Jeff Denney, the city’s major project planner.

Morguard is also applying to change the official community plan to add more commercial and office space, and a higher density to the project. Denney emphasized the process is in the very early stages.

“There’s a lot of work ahead for this. It’s more geared toward land use and site planning versus the towers at this stage,” said Denney.

Morguard is also applying to have the city’s official community plan amended from being general commercial and City Centre commercial to all City Centre commercial. It’s so preliminary at this point, it’s unlikely any of the applications will appear before council, let alone go to public hearing, before the fall. The city is also in the late stages of updating its City Centre area plan.

“It’s difficult to estimate timelines at this point,” said Denney. “There’s just a lot of work ahead of us. We have to identify the parks and open space needs, school needs.

Coquitlam Centre mall manager Morguard Investments is proposing “approximately 11 towers” for their property around Lincoln Station. we will consider in terms of the overall planning direction for the mall site… It’s definitely exciting.”

Morguard did not respond to an interview request from The Tri-City News. In November 2016, Morguard asset manager Ken Moffatt told The News there would be an expansion of retail, some commercial and “most probably the introduction of plenty of residential.”

That story said Morguard planned to develop a master plan to guide development in the area for the next 50 to 70 years.

Coquitlam Centre is close to three SkyTrain stations, which puts it in an even bet-

ter situation than the massive development currently underway at Brentwood Town Centre in Burnaby and the ones in the works at Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby and Oakridge Centre in Vancouver, all of which have rapid transit stations.

With a 57-acre footprint, the Coquitlam Centre project has a potential to be even bigger than the others. Brentwood will have 12 towers on a 28acre site when it’s completed, including one that was recently topped off in construction at 63 storeys. Lougheed is expected to have 23 towers on a 40-acre site. Oakridge’s plans call for 10 towers on 28.5 acres.

Seniors’ Appreciation Tea Free tea and treat for Seniors MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Gerry Nuttall, foreground, stops by The Club, a gathering place for Port Moody seniors he helped found in 2016, for a social chat. Nuttall will be honoured on Saturday with a Freedom of the City award for his four decades of community service and volunteerism.

3pm – 5pm PoCo Heritage Museum (inside The Outlet Building)

JUNE IS STRAWBERRY MONTH

PORT MOODY

Freedom of the City award goes to Nuttall Service to Port Moody started with a stop sign Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

After Gerry Nuttall receives his Freedom of the City award at a special ceremony at Port Moody city hall on Saturday, he’ll be able to park anywhere in the city for free.

But Port Moody isn’t yet a big enough city to charge for parking anywhere and everywhere.

Maintaining that small town spirit and sense of community has been the driving force behind Nuttall’s four decades of community service and volunteerism, even as the city grows from 7,000 residents when he and his wife Barb first moved into a home they’d built on April Road.

It all started with a stop sign.

Or rather the lack of one at the corner of April Road and Bedingfield Street where drivers speeding down the hill often overshot the sharp curve and careened into a retaining wall or a neighbour’s yard.

Not good for students who might be walking to nearby Pleasantside elementary

school on Barber Street.

So Nuttall made a oneperson delegation to a meeting of city council to pitch his solution to slow drivers down.

Several civic officials were opposed to a new stop sign, afraid it would slow response times to emergencies.

But when council voted in favour of the idea, and the mayor at the time got one installed the very next morning, “it was the first time I realized you can make a difference at city hall,” Nuttall said.

That led to his involvement to prevent development of the land that would eventually become Bert Flinn Park and eventually three terms as a city councillor, as well as countless volunteer hours guiding community amenities like Golden Spike Days and the Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society.

Along the way, Nuttall has seen the city grow up. Literally.

“There were no highrises when we first got here,” Nuttall said.

The proliferation of condo towers at places like Newport Village and Suter Brook, with more planned for the future, has brought greater import to Nuttall’s work to connect residents and build community.

Like maintaining the city’s own

police force, or the opening in 2016 of The Club, a gathering place for Port Moody’s seniors.

“That was missing here,” Nuttall said of the comfortable lounge on Noons Creek Drive where people 50 and up can drop in for chats, order coffee from the small canteen, participate in book clubs or trivia competitions, or set out on bus excursions. “In condos you don’t know anybody, people just hibernate.”

But Port Moody’s urbanization also brings benefits, Nuttall said. Families downsizing to a condo can stay in the community and a greater population brings more amenities like shops, services and recreation that improve everyone’s quality of life.

And within that population a tireless core of volunteers works to maintain Port Moody’s sense of neighbourliness and community pride.

“People get involved,” Nuttall said. “It still has that small town feel.”

And the curbside parking is still free. For now.

• Nuttall will be honoured with the Freedom of the City at a special meeting of city council that begins at 1 p.m.

Saturday at city hall (100 Newport Dr.).

CENTENNIAL SECONDARY

Coq., SD43 partner on new turf field Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

A lit, artificial turf field at Centennial secondary is expected to be ready for play in two years.

The project is part of an extensive partnership worked out between the city and the school district.

Coquitlam will build the $3-million field on the recently demolished Centennial building site at Poirier Street and Winslow Avenue, owned by SD43, according to a report to city council this week. It also said the goal is to complete the project in 2020.

Since the province won’t pay for an artificial playing surface at new schools, the city and the district got together to upgrade the school’s field to something that can be used by students during the day and the community in the evening and on weekends.

Building a field at Centennial was too good to pass up for the city, according to the chair of its sports advisory committee.

“It was not originally on our list,” said Coun. Craig Hodge.

“We have a sports field strategy and we had not identified it, but when the opportunity presented itself we thought it would be great. [The district was] essentially putting up the land for free [and an artificial] field will be used wherever we put it.”

Hodge said the demand for turf field use is growing. A turf field can stay open virtually year round, while grass fields have to be shut down to protect them. The extra use also warrants adding lights, said Hodge.

“We want to get on with that right away. There’s a growing demand for fields, particularly in the bad weather months and the evenings,” said Hodge. “As a soccer parent and a soccer coach, I’ve had many games cancelled for weather [on grass fields]. As they’ve gotten older and got access to the artificial turf, that isn’t an issue.”

Hodge made a request at Monday’s council meeting to have covered benches at the new field. The soccer community had to fundraise to provide them at Dr. Charles Best secondary when they weren’t in the original plans, he said.

He’d also like to see a warm-up area for teams waiting to get onto the turf while another game is going on.

However, city parks general manager Raul Allueva said he didn’t believe there would be enough space for one before adding, “But we’ll see what we can accomplish.”

The Centennial turf would be the seventh artificial surface in the city to go along with four fields at Town Centre, Percy Perry Stadium and Dr. Charles Best secondary.

Coquitlam is also buying 1.2 acres of district land at the

The old Centennial secondary building site will be the home of a new artificial turf field. corner of Glen Avenue and Westwood Street adjacent to Glen elementary for $3.5 million. The city plans to add the land to the existing Glen Park next door and make $2 million in improvements to it, including a play area for both the city and the district to use. The city’s goal is to have those done by 2021.

That brings the total bill for the city to $8.5 million. Most of the funding for the field and park improvements will come from development cost charges, casino revenue and bonus density fees, said the report.

The district will use the $3.5 million to fund improvements to other schools in Coquitlam.

In another agreement with SD43, the city has adjusted some of its priority projects so it can help the district in preliminary planning for a proposed Burke Mountain secondary/middle school project that will include an eighth artificial surface for the city.

Since the David Avenue at Soball Street site is steeply sloped, a coordinated approach between the city and SD43 is important, said the report. To do that, council has approved deferring projects at Galette and Sheffield parks and transferring $370,000 in funding for them to do site feasibility work and early planning at Burke Mountain. Part of that project site is on city-owned land.

Hodge said developer Wesbild Holdings has already committed $5 million toward the turf.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said she was concerned about the planning partnership. “I want to make sure the city doesn’t get caught paying for parts of the school project.”

Coun. Brent Asmundson said the city should do anything it can to assist the district, including expediting permits to make sure the funding comes through from the province.

That project still has many education ministry hoops to jump through and isn’t slated to open until 2023.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kaylin Swiegers gets a closer look at the “crime scene” set up by Grade 12 law and biology students at Heritage Woods secondary school.

HERITAGE WOODS

Students get taste of police investigation Law & biology students get crime scene experience Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Parts of Heritage Woods secondary and Bert Flinn Park were closed off with police tape last week as Grade 12 biology and law students investigated their first accident and homicide cases.

And while Port Moody police and a Tri-City News photographer showed up for the action, rest assured there was nothing dangerous taking place at the Port Moody secondary school.

In fact, the students were practising the techniques of crime scene investigation they learned in class by solving several mysterious deaths.

“We’re setting it up to make it look believable but there will be a trick — a red herring,” said Farna Naemi, who will attend Douglas College in the fall for an eventual career as a teacher.

The crime scene investigation project was a collaboration between law teacher Mike Tyldesley and biology teacher Anthony Ciardullo, who wanted their students to learn new skills in addition to the basic facts of law and science.

A student investigator pulls on gloves to protect the integrity of a crime scene.

“It’s allowing the kids to develop some skills and knowledge and having them apply their knowledge and then presenting their results afterwards,” said Tyldesley who has a taught for 25 years.

He said the trend in education is for students to do more critical thinking, analysis and presentation and the crime scene investigation project allows them to hone their skills in those areas.

“I used to teach to the exam,” Tyldesley said, “but for my subject area, I don’t think exams are the way to go, it’s more like developing skills, such as public speaking, and to be able critically analyze.”

And for biology students, the program was fun because the teenagers got to apply their

knowledge about DNA and entomology, the study of insects, to do a forensic analysis.

“It’s a way to test out a potential career,” said Ryan Kwok, who will be studying science at UBC this fall.

Before they set up their crime scene, the students heard from a coroner about crime scene analysis, conducted research, assigned roles, and established a storyline for the type of death they were responsible for. The categories were premeditated murder, manslaughter, accident and death by natural cause.

They set up their crime scene, acted as witnesses and also investigated another group’s death.

“They have to keep it secret, the other group will have to determine what happened,” Tyldesley said.

The students seemed to enjoy the opportunity to work on a project that contained so many interesting facets and required skills other than book learning to arrive at an answer.

“It’s cool for us to get the real sense of how complicated it [crime scene investigation] is,” said Jenna Querengesser, who will attend SFU in the fall for an eventual career in law. “Now we get to see everything that goes into it.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Members of the Rotary Club of Port Moody got soaked last Saturday for its shred-a-thon outside PoMo city hall, but still managed to pull off their event that was sponsored in part by The Tri-City News.

CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

Heidi Gawehns’ grade 8 class at Pitt River middle in Port Coquitlam snapped up first place in the Invasive Species Council of BC photo contest.

Hundreds of entries were received from schools around the province, with pictures showing invasive species in the students’ back yards. The contest was held during Invasive Species Action Month, last month.

Students were asked to post their images via social media with the hashtag #BCinvasivecontest. Gawehns’ winning class clicked in $350 for their 161 photos, to be used for a future field trip or equipment.

“We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of youth groups and school classes across BC who entered our ‘What’s in your backyard?’ contest for Invasive Species Action Month,” said Gail Wallin, ISCBC executive director, in a news release. “With hundreds of photos posted to social media last month, these youth have shown us that invasive species are prevalent all over our province and we all have to take actions to stop invasive species from spreading in the water, in gardens and agriculture, through firewood, through sports equipment and by keeping unwanted pets out of the wild.”

The Parkside Brewery was the last stop for greyhounds and whippets — and their masters — in the annual Great Global Greyhound Walk, which took place Sunday around Rocky Point Park in Port Moody.

GREYHOUND WALK AT ROCKY POINT

A few students at Port Moody’s Mountain Meadows elementary had their locks chopped off last Wednesday in the fourth annual Wigs 4 Kids fundraiser. The school donated hair from 15 people and brought in $4,500 for the cause.

Coquitlam residents Sandy and Cathy Burpee were named Wednesday as the 2018 honorary fellows of Douglas College, which has a campus in Coquitlam.

The homeless and housing advocates received the post-secondary school’s highest distinction, at a graduation ceremony in New Westminster.

“Sandy and Cathy Burpee’s tireless advocacy of antipoverty, homelessness and violence prevention initiatives are part of a long-time commitment to our communities that is truly inspiring,” said college president Kathy Denton, in a news release.

“Their ability to organize diverse groups to work toward shared goals demonstrates the type of leadership that is needed to tackle some of society’s greatest challenges.”

Sandy was chair of the Tri-Cities Homelessness and Housing Task Group for more than a decade while Cathy was chair of the Society for Community Development for eight years. They founded the Tri-City Together Against Violence committee, which Sandy chaired from 1994 to 1998. He was also a member of the community advisory committee for Douglas College’s Centre for Health and Community Partnerships, from 2008 to 2011.

Brian Mackay is the new associate vice president of technology and chief information officer at Douglas College, which has a campus in Coquitlam.

Mackay, who started last Monday, spent the past 14 years at Thompson Rivers University as its associate v-p of digital strategies and CIO. “We wanted someone with a track record of success in technology leadership in a complex environment who would be instrumental in developing and executing strategies to elevate the effectiveness of the college and all of its constituents.

Mackay received his MBA in IT Management from Athabasca University and holds certifications in Project Management Professional, COBIT 5.0 and Information Technology Infrastructure Library. He also served more than 12 years on the BCNET board and was a board member for the Canadian University Council of Chief Information Officers.

Port Coquitlam firefighters helped to bring a bit of star power to raise funds at Tim Horton’s camp day last Wednesday. All proceeds from the day — from coffee sales — went to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camp.

FATHER’S DAY

On Sunday, give dad the gift of gardening IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

I

t’s all about fathers on Sunday, but not all dads are into ties, tools and sports equipment.

Many are surprisingly great barbecue chefs and the new trend is they are becoming fairly avid gardeners too. Can you believe in the U.S. over one million young men between the ages of 18 and 24 are growing hops — so there’s an idea worth brewing.

Today, one challenge for any gardener can be small space living. Container gardening on the patio is more often the order of the day. Fortunately, food gardening has adapted nicely to small spaces with great results.

Blueberries, like evergreen sunshine blue, the container star

perpetua and summer breeze (a combination of three varieties grown together) are fun, delicious and can easily be grown in small spaces. The new container raspberry, called raspberry shortcake and its blackberry counterpart baby cakes are just beginning to fruit in time for gifting on Father’s Day. Espaliered fruit trees are the new wave of small space trees that can be grown either against a fence or can be the fence. They produce delicious apples, pears and Asian pears.

There are also naturally occurring genetic dwarf peaches and nectarines that can be grown on patios and under cover as well.

For more immediate enjoyment, container-grown strawberries and tomatoes are very popular today. Everbearing strawberries are usually grown in hanging baskets and can be enjoyed now and all summer.

Tumbler and tumbling Tom tomatoes are sweet, taste great and fit nicely in pots or baskets.

If Dad is into bragging rights, the new giant tomatoes, like porterhouse, are still available.

Also exciting is the remarkable ketchup ‘n’ fries, a tomato grafted onto a potato plant.

INJURED?

CALL FOR A FREE CONSULTATION

Bonsai plants have become a lot simpler these days with the advent of the indoor variety ficus microcarpa. It’s a stunning, twisted, gnarled ficus that is easy to grow.

For practical dads, consider giving garden gadgets that are useful, such as Oya watering vessels, watering wands, kneepads and EZ-Riser mobility aids — all make gardening easier.

WRESTLING

Champion wrestler won’t be counted out Injury sidelines summer plans for Riverside student MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The summer is not going to turn out as Khaya MacKillop planned.

The 16-year-old Grade 11 student at Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam was hoping to travel to Guatamala City and then Zagreb, Croatia.

But the day after she won gold in the 69kg category at the U19 Canadian national wrestling championships, she blew out her shoulder competing for a spot on the team that recently travelled to the Cadet Pan American championships in the former and then July’s Cadet World Championships in the latter.

It’s the second time in months MacKillop dislocated her shoulder. But this time she won’t be able to just pop it back into place and rest it while she continues training.

Surgery, and a lengthy rehab, is likely in the cards and MacKillop will be heading home to her family in Victoria for the summer to prepare for another climb back to the top of her sport.

“I’m hoping to be healthy again in time for junior nationals,” MacKillop said. “I know I’ll be able to come back.”

It’s not like she hasn’t overcome adversity before.

Last summer MacKillop fractured her knee in training and missed competing at the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg, Man., as well as

It will be a while before 16-year-old Khaya MacKillop is able to return to the gym to wrestle.

The day after she won gold in the 69kg category at the Canadian U17/ U19 wrestling championships, she dislocated her shoulder while competing for a spot on the team for the Pan American championships in Guatamala and the Cadet World Championships in Croatia.

MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

a chance to attend a special wrestling camp in Idaho. And it took her almost a year before she won her first wrestling match after she migrated to the mat from the kickboxing ring when she was in Grade 7.

MacKillop had made the switch because she wouldn’t be allowed to compete in a kickboxing bout against an opponent until she was 16.

That competitive zeal got her through her initial struggles with her new sport.

“I was super determined I was going to win,” MacKillop said of her early losing streak.

And when she finally did,

at a small tournament on Vancouver Island, MacKillop knew she’d made the right choice for her sport.

“This is amazing,” she said.

The wins started coming easier. MacKillop’s coach and family determined to realize her full potential she’d need better coaching and competition. So they made arrangements with old family friends who live in Port Coquitlam and last year she moved away from home on her own to train at the Coast Wrestling Academy in Burnaby while attending Riverside.

MacKillop said she had to

grow up in a hurry. Suddenly, at 15 years-old, she was totally responsible for getting herself to and from school, and then navigating the two-hour transit trip to Coast for training.

“It was all me,” she said.

It was also lonely. MacKillop barely knew her host family because she’d last met them when she was four, and her busy schedule made it hard to make friends. She was homesick.

But rather than wallowing, MacKillop channeled her challenges to the mat. She made the provincial team for the Canada Summer Games, and

she was named as an alternate for the national team that was making a trip to Japan.

So when her knee cracked, MacKillop was determined to get back to the mat.

“I’d worked so hard,” she said.

After a summer with her family in Victoria, working the weights and training as best she could, MacKillop limited her competitive schedule so she could be in prime condition for nationals. When she first hurt her shoulder in January, she continued to practise using only her good shoulder.

By the time she got to Edmonton for the U17/U19 nationals, she said her shoulder was at about 80%.

Still, she won all three of her matches.

It was in MacKillop’s second bout of the trials when her shoulder failed her again. Her opponent fell on her and she could hear it pop, she said. The pain was searing.

“It was heartbreaking,” MacKillop said. “I was upset.”

The referee checked on her.

MacKillop said she’d finish the match. She wasn’t going to let an injury count her out. mbartel@tricitynews.com

OBITUARIES

On May 21, at Crossroads Hospice, Norm lost his battle with Lymphoma.

He had caught his last fish, climbed his last mountain, given away his decoys and went â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Rainbow Bridgeâ&#x20AC;? to meet up with his dogs, the old Norse Legend says, would be waiting!

Norm was born in his grandparentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmhouse near Montmartre, Sask. He was the son of Don and Kay Sherling who were long time residents of Cranbrook, B.C. Norm graduated from Mount Baker High School and he went on to U.B.C., where, in 1959, he received his degree in Mechanical Engineering.

An avid curler for many years, Norm was the first president of the newly opened Port Moody Curling Club and very active in the training of many new curlers as well as starting the Junior Curling Program.

He was also Chairman of the Prostate Cancer Support Group for the Tri-Cities for 15 years.

Norm is survived by his wife of 58 years, Noreen; sons, Mark (Neelam), Grant (Leslie) and much loved granddaughter Rachel.

There will be an informal gathering on Sunday, June 24th, from 1:00 to 4:00pm at the Pitt Meadows Golf Course, 13615 Harris Rd, Pitt Meadows.

Please, come join us for refreshments with family and friends.

Donations in memory of Norm to Crossroads Hospice Society or B.C. Foundation for Prostate Cancer would be greatly appreciated.
