ELECTION / RESULTS / ThE TRI-CITIES Conservative Nelly Shin won the riding of Port MoodyCoquitlam in Monday’s federal election in a tight race that at one point saw the top three candidates within less than 1% of one another.
Incumbent Liberal MP Ron McKinnon won re-election Monday in the riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam, edging his closest competitor, the Conservatives’ Nicholas Insley by just 339 votes.

The Tri-Cities lived up to its battleground expectations Monday in an election that closely mirrored the fractured
electoral landscape across the country. In Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam, Liberal incumbent Ron McKinnon eked out a victory over his Conservative rival Nicholas Insley by a margin of just 339 votes in a win emblematic of the party’s national fortunes. Next door in Port MoodyCoquitlam, a tight three-way race kept Liberal, Conservative
Thanks for following us on:
and NDP voters glued to the screen late into the night. In the end, Tory parachute candidate Nelly Shin upset both NDP hopeful Bonita Zarrillo and Liberal contender Sara Badiei, supplanting a decade of NDP representation by a mere 333 votes. Across the country, the NDP failed to translate the momentum its campaign had gathered in recent weeks to wins at the
5 1 1 63 6
ballot box, and after promise early in the campaign, the Greens gained only one seat nationally. In many ways, every party failed to make a major breakthrough. When SFU political scientist Stewart Prest looks at the suburban makeup of Tri-Cities’ two ridings — bellwethers that lived up to their expectations — he’s not surprised.

“There’s a totally different conversation going on around issues like climate and energy, politics, and you’re sort of sitting at the dividing line where both conversations are happening in the same place at the same time,” he told The Tri-City News. “It’s just completely different world-views… And we’re seeing evidence that both are present where the town meets the city.”

While McKinnon’s win represents a Liberal party barely hanging on after Trudeau’s SNC Lavalin and “blackface” scandals, Prest looks at Shin’s victory as in part due to an expanding urban core, where people looking to buy a home in the suburbs tend to have economic aspirations that line up with a conservative message. see

Bear spray at PoCo school prompts police response
Homicide investigators work at a home at 719 Seaton Ave. in Coquitlam Wednesday. Mario Bartel/the tri-City News CriMe
2 found dead in Coq. home Two people are dead and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating at a home in Coquitlam. According to a press release, police arrived to a Seaton Avenue home Monday at 3:30 p.m. and discovered
two people dead inside before IHIT took control of the scene. “Evidence from the initial investigation indicates that one of the deceased persons was the victim of a homicide,” said Const. Harrison Mohr. “Although the circumstances surrounding the death of the
second person are still being examined, we do not believe that there are any outstanding suspects. “We believe this incident was contained within the residence and can confirm that both persons know each other,” Mohr added. “Our
thoughts are with the family and friends affected by this tragedy.” Wednesday, a forensic team had set up a tent on Seaton Avenue near Ducklow Street while police tape cordoned off a nearby home and police cruisers blocked parts of the road.
Police and an ambulance were called to Terry Fox secondary Tuesday afternoon and security was tightened at the Port Coquitlam school after a can of bear spray was discharged in the school parking lot during lunch hour. Coquitlam RCMP arrived at about 12:45 p.m., shortly after being alerted to the incident by school officials, and saw a large crowd of students milling about. RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said police have identified those involved in the incident and charges are likely, although what started the confrontation is still under investigation. Police say the bear spray was discharged toward two males who were inside a car. “Police are satisfied that we have identified all poten-
tial suspects who were at the scene. We are examining all the evidence to determine the exact charges that should be laid,” McLaughlin said in a press release. School District 43 officials say no one was injured in the incident but an ambulance was called as a precaution. The school was placed into a “hold and secure” for about an hour, which means that exterior doors are locked and entry and exit of the school is controlled for the safety of its occupants, according to SD43 spokesperson Ken Hoff. “Staff remained especially vigilant for the remainder of the day,” Hoff said in an email. According Hoff, the bear spray was discharged by youths not associated with the school and, after spraying the chemical, the youths fled.

Latest Burquitlam highrise proposal to hearing Mon.
Can you pitch in on health group?
Rentals would be torn down to make way for new buildings GRANT GRANGER ggranger@tricitynews.com
A proposal to demolish two low-rise rental apartment blocks in Burquitlam to make way for a 45-storey condo tower and an 18-storey rental building will be the subject of a public hearing Monday. Townline Homes and QuadReal have applied to rezone 675 North Rd. and 668 Whiting Way to build the highrises. The taller tower (470 feet) would have 385 market condominiums, with the smaller building (200 feet) containing 154 rental units and 20 below-market rental units along with 10 commercial/retail spaces totalling 17,700 sq. ft. The sites are currently occupied by a 76-unit apartment block built in 1977 and a 17unit building constructed in 1973. A city report said the developers are proposing to give current tenants two months paid rent, one more than the Rental Tenancy Act requires. More will go to long-term tenants depending on how long they’ve lived there. The developers have also committed to
A 45-storey condo tower and an 18-storey rental building are part of a proposal that will be discussed Monday at a public hearing at Coquitlam city hall.
providing relocation help for the tenants as well as giving first right of refusal for the new rental units. There will be 665 parking spaces, 72 fewer than
required. In lieu of the reduction, the developers have agreed to provide $476,000 in transit passes, three Modo car share spots, $72,500 in car share memberships, an end-
of-trip facility and bike repair rooms. The report said the 1.6-acre site is 330 metres from the Burquitlam SkyTrain station. It also noted the proposal calls for 77 trees to be removed and replaced with 80 new ones, the majority being deciduous. The project is expected to generate $4 million in development cost charges and $16 million in density bonus funds for the city. The other proposed rezonings scheduled for the public hearing in council chambers Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. are: • Subdivision of a 50-acre parcel in the Partington Creek neighbourhood at Sheffield Avenue and Mitchell Street into three lots, two of which will be for townhouses, with the other yet to be determined. Extensions of Sheffield, Mitchell and Harper, a new north-south collector road and the reconfiguration and protection of the existing watercourses are being proposed. • Six townhouse buildings with a total of 30 units at 3580 Victoria Drive. • Four townhouse buildings with a total of 34 units — 26 three-bedroom and eight two bedroom — at 707, 711, 715 and 717 Robinson St. The twobedroom units will be able to accommodate an additional lock-off unit.
Patient advisors are sought to help improve patient care DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
A group working to improve patient care in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra, is seeking two people to be a voice for patients on a local committee. Fraser Northwest Division of Family Practice Society is accepting applications for patient advisors to collaborate with the Primary Care Network team and to provide input into projects to improve primary care in the Tri-Cities. “The collaboration between the three partners [FNW Division, Fraser Health Authority and Kwikwetlem First Nation] has had a positive effect on primary care. Adding additional voices will offer valuable insight and a new perspective that differs from healthcare providers and administrators,� said Dr. Paras Mehta, co-chair of Fraser Northwest, in a press release. Primary Care Networks were announced in February and, at the time, Health Minister Adrian Dix
said 46 doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical pharmacists would be hired in the Tri-Cities over the next few years to help connect people to health services, including maternity care, mental health care and elder care, especially for people who don’t have family doctors. Kwikwetlem First Nation is also receiving access to health care support on reserve in ways that are culturally sensitive. To bring about the changes, the Primary Care Network Steering Committee was set up to provide oversight, bring together community stakeholders to create partnerships and identify opportunities to improve how patients can access good quality health care. To be eligible to apply to be a patient advisor, patients and/or caregivers of patients must reside in a Fraser Northwest community (the Tri-Cities, the villages and New Westminster) and have knowledge and experience in community health care, chronic disease management, wellness and community partnerships. Interested individuals can apply through the patientvoicesbc.ca website, with Oct. 29 the deadline for applications.

COMMUNITY CENTRE WORK CONTINUES
The demolition of the south part of the Port Coquitlam recreation complex is now underway. Ventana Construction, which is building the $132-million Port Coquitlam community centre (PCCC), is expected to finish tearing down the old arena by early December as well as the building that formerly housed the Terry Fox Library (the granite Terry Fox statue, at Wilson Avenue and Mary Hill Road, was recently moved into storage). The first phase of PCCC opened in late August and includes the library branch, the Wilson Lounge, a games room and two sheets of ice. The next part of Phase 1 will see the opening of the pool and fitness centre, on the west side of the facility, early next year. Meanwhile, the third rink is set to open in summer 2021 while the underground parking will be ready by fall 2021. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
DOWNTOWN POCO
Homes, more planned for McAllister Proposal for site of downtown bakery that burned down JaNIS ClEUgh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Three years to the month after a fire ripped through downtown Port Coquitlam and destroyed Martha’s Bakery, a plan to revitalize the McAllister Avenue commercial site is being launched. But, if approved by council, it could also mean less parking in the core, at least for the short term.
Today (Thursday), the city announced Quarry Rock Developments of Burnaby had submitted a development permit bid to revamp the vacant site and take over a city-owned parking lot to construct a five-storey building with commercial units below and 62 apartments above. The redevelopment of the combined 33,000-sq. ft. property at 2241-2251 McAllister Ave., between PoCo Bowl and Me ’n Ed’s Pizza, would also include a plaza and an extension of the Donald Pathway. Mayor Brad West said the proposal will be a catalyst to modernize the downtown, for
which the city has had a strategy in place since 2016 to bring in new businesses, homes and pedestrian amenities. “There’s more to come but this is the first,” West told The Tri-City News Wednesday, without giving specifics about land negotiations. “We do have big things in the works for the downtown.” A call to Quarry Rock was not immediately returned but the company has built a number of residential projects around the Lower Mainland, including Kanaka Hill Townhomes in Maple Ridge, Boardwalk in Surrey and Finch in Squamish, as well
as industrial parks. (According to its website, the McAllister mixed-use project will be “harmonious in form and character” with city hall and the provincial courthouse, and will feature 6,000 sq. ft. of retail and 122 one- and two-bedroom condos.) Laura Lee Richard, PoCo’s planning director, said the application will likely come before committee in the spring; the site is already zoned for commercial use under the current official community plan. The proposed deal with Quarry Rock also stipulates that, once the building goes up, a part of the commercial space
will be transferred to the city to attract restaurants, offices and recreation, for example. It’s expected the McAllister project will be ready about two years after council approves the plan. As for the parking lot, the city has entered into a letter of intent to sell the property to Quarry Rock at an undisclosed price. In the meantime, it will look for alternatives to replace the 45 spots that will be lost, including in lots on either side of Wilson Avenue, on the south side of Kingsway Avenue east of Shaughnessy Street, and on the north side of Elgin Avenue west of Shaughnessy Street.
West said the downtown revitalization strategy also calls for the construction of a parkade. “The city is very much aware of the parking challenges we currently have,” he said. “Without getting into details, [a parkade] is something that we’re working on.” As for the Shaughnessy Street commercial site that’s now vacant following a 2015 fire at a barber shop and has since been transformed into a parklette by the property owner, Dominion Lending, the city has asked the company to renew the space to be used as a public rest stop for another year.

Effectively Managing Bear Attractants How you can help to keep people and bears safe Garbage, Organics and Recycling
Managing access to garbage and other attractants is the most important action to take to keep people and bears safe in our community.
• Store garbage and green waste carts in a secure garage or bearresistant enclosure. • Ensure that carts remain securely closed with bear clips locked. • Ensure that carts are only placed at your pick-up spot between 5:30 am and 7:30 am on your pick-up day. • Freeze odorous food scraps until collection day. • Rinse carts regularly to eliminate odours. • Rinse all recycling material before placing in your recycling cart to reduce odours. • If you have a backyard compost, maintain an odourless pile, turn regularly, and keep covered.
Fruit Trees • Pick fruit as soon as it ripens. • Pick up any fallen fruit daily. • Store all harvested fruit securely indoors.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN
Climate change a focus of OCP review Sustainable development, reducing commuting are issues
Moody Centre plan to go public next week
MArIO BArTeL mbartel@tricitynews.com
MArIO BArTeL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Port Moody’s upcoming review of its official community plan (OCP) will look through the lens of climate change. Coun. Zoe Royer said the issue touches on every aspect of urban life, from housing densification to creating highquality employment opportunities that allow residents to work and live in the same community, to traffic. “There’s going to be many converging changes in the future,” Royer said. “It’s important for the community to evolve and be prepared for some of these challenges.” At its committee of the whole meeting Oct. 15, council provided staff with several priorities that should be considered when the OCP is opened for review beginning in November. Such a review of the city’s plan for growth and development is required every five years. Royer said Port Moody has to be prepared for a potential influx of “climate refugees,” people chased from their homes elsewhere by drought, wildfires or rising waters that could all be a consequence of climate change. She said the city also has to be aware

of its own responsibility not to contribute to climate change by developing sustainably and allowing residents to live, work and play in close proximity so they don’t have to rely on driving. “Let’s talk about some very real issues facing this community, facing humanity,” Royer said. But even if people do seek refuge in Port Moody, that shouldn’t force the city to go beyond its established population goal of 50,000 residents by 2041 that was endorsed in the previous review of the OCP, in 2014, Mayor Rob Vagramov said. “What I’ve heard from the community is 50,000 is already a number that is pretty intense,” he said. Coun. Hunter Madsen agreed, saying having a “clear vision for the city’s size” gives developers a better idea of what they can do, and the op-
portunities available to them in the city. “It feels like we can’t be too loose on this,” he said. But Coun. Amy Lubik said more important than a hard number is the way that number is achieved. She suggested the city’s plan also needs to consider factors such as whether residents can walk to a grocery store or have their medical needs met. “It’s how we grow, not how big we get,” she said. Other priorities targeted by council to be part of the review include the integration of an economic development master plan; a greater emphasis on affordable housing and construction of more diverse housing; protection for the city’s environmentally sensitive areas; and attention to the Seaview neighbourhood and Flavelle site as developers begin to explore opportunities in those areas.
Council has already directed density at the Ioco lands will be limited to current zoning and it wants to see more attention paid to housing affordability and employment in the Moody Centre neighbourhood next to the SkyTrain station. Councillors also asked for a more intensive public engagement process that would make greater use of digital tools in addition to open houses and public forums. Such tools could gather more statistically valid data that is an accurate reflection of broad community sentiment rather than just the feedback from the most engaged residents, Madsen said. “We need to put more energy into reaching out what the public thinks.” In a report, the city’s manager of policy planning, Mary De Paoli, said the review of the OCP could take up to two years.
A consortium of property owners and developers will hold two open houses to share its preliminary concepts for Port Moody’s downtown adjacent to the Moody Centre SkyTrain station. The first open house is Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 4 to 7 p.m. at 3020 Spring St. A second open house will be held Saturday, Nov. 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the gym at Moody elementary school (2717 St. Johns St.). The consortium, which has been working on its plan with city staff for almost two years, unveiled its ideas for the 23-acre collection of properties that runs from St. Johns Street to the SkyTrain tracks, and from Moody to Buller streets, in a series of workshops for invited stakeholders at the end of September. It envisions an urban neighbourhood of 3,775 homes as well as retail, office and light industrial spaces that could employ up to 1,400 people. But at a meeting Oct. 8, some members of Port Moody council said that didn’t jibe with their vision for the area, which includes more emphasis on “high-value” employment in the high-tech and educational fields, more affordable housing units and fewer highrises. Council has now invited representatives of the consortium, which includes Anthem Properties, PCI Group and Beedie Living as well as TransLink and several smaller property owners, to share their ideas at an upcoming meeting of council’s committee of the whole. Tim Grant of PCI Group told council any effort to curb the process for reimagining the neighbourhood is “premature.” Coun. Meghan Lahti accused some of her fellow councillors of “hijacking a group process.” But Coun. Hunter Madsen said the scale of the project and its importance to the city demands a hands-on approach by council.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

It’s not hot air to advocate for safety around needles
Last Week t
Fraser Health should perhaps try a pilot project for needles THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com
P
ort Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is often criticized for complaining about issues not always obviously connected to his city, including money laundering and Chinese sponsorship of a Union of BC Municipalities event. That’s not the case, however, with West’s criticism of Fraser Health and concerns about used needles being found in parks. While some might say his complaints are hot air and he’s not helping to solve the
problem. But we think it’s his job as mayor to bring up safety issues and air his concerns in public because it’s not right that city staff should have to pick up needles in parks and other public spaces. At a recent meeting West raised the issue and didn’t offer a way to resolve it. But he’s like most people who expect the authorities responsible to come up with a plan that is practical, well publicized, based on research and has buy-in from the community. Putting more needle collection boxes around the city so people using illicit drugs outdoors have an easy way to dispose of them may be the best short-term solution but the PoCo mayor isn’t the only person who needs convinc-
ing. Fraser Health needs to do a better job of explaining what the best practices are, what the research tells us and what the community can expect. Piloting a few disposal units to see if they make a difference would be worth a try. That’s certainly a lowcost option that could be attempted before seriously considering a safe injection site — something Surrey has that would likely face pushback here — while more affordable housing would be the best option but takes longer to put into place. West isn’t wrong to bring up the issue. Those who pay for parks through their taxes don’t want to have to deal with needles or worry about an injury, and they are bringing their complaints to the mayor.
Still, this issue is not a new one and it’s worth noting that there are already daily needle sweeps to ensure that used sharps are disposed of properly. In fact, Fraser Health has said in the past it collects more needles than it distributes, suggesting that the majority of people do discard their needles safely. And we can’t forget that B.C. is in the midst of an opioid overdose crisis, and that needles are being distributed to prevent an epidemic of HIV and AIDS. At the same time, there must be a path forward and Mayor West has an important role to play in raising the issue and bringing these groups together to ensure that Port Coquitlam is a healthy, compassionate and safe city.

FIRE SAFETY
Mandatory voting push is a ‘misguided’ effort
Amalgamate our fire depts. & save money
The Editor, Re. “Voting is so important, we should make it mandatory” (editorial, Opinion, The Tri-City News, Oct. 10). Your editorial, which asserts voting ought to be mandatory, prompts the following: What is the question to which making voting mandatory is the answer? If declining voter turnout is viewed as a problem, making it mandatory is no doubt both a quick and easy way to address the issue. But quick and easy answers often don’t adequately address complex issues.
Many would argue that low voter turnout is not the problem but a symptom of something much more difficult to both diagnose and correct. Simply forcing people to go to the polls might even make matters worse. Making voting mandatory will only lead to more Canadians casting a ballot, not that their vote is necessarily a more informed, interested or engaged one. Some might even suggest that only those who can pass a test that shows they know what the issues are and can differentiate one party’s platform from
A15
another should be allowed to vote. Most voters are tired of the postering, lying, broken promises and other at best underhanded methods used by politicians to get elected. We are told one thing before the election and find that little promised beforehand becomes reality. The pandering by our politicians to the lowest common denominator, the lack of any kind of statesmanlike behaviour, the lack of action on what the electorate considers top priority issues such as housing affordability and
climate change have left voters jaded. Most have simply given up hope politicians can be trusted to do as they say. Do you really believe forcing an electorate that is ill-informed, disinterested, disengaged and just plain unimpressed by the quality of people running for office is going to solve the problem of low voter turnout, and by extension result in better politics and politicians? Plaudits for your efforts to try to improve the electoral system, misguided though they are. Horst Siegler, Port Moody
The Editor, To this taxpayer, it’s obvious that placing emergency personnel in harm’s way during training is unacceptable. The aging fire training building in Port Coquitlam and its lack of a proper configuration for today’s needs certainly means a new facility will be needed. But for each municipality to build a facility and hope that other agencies from other communities will use the facility to offset the cost of a more modern and appropriate structure is shortsighted and naive. Funding freed up from a consolidated Tri-City fire department would more than pay for a facility that would
meet the needs of our fire services for many years. The complexity of fires, highrise buildings, hazardous material events, interface events and complicated rescues means our Tri-City departments will need to rely more on assistance from one another as the communities grow and become much more complex. What we really need in our communities is a tax break. Eliminating the massive duplication with a consolidated fire department would be a start. I predict that not only would a new training facility get built but it would be state of the art, well utilized and sustainably funded. Geoff Taylor, Port Coquitlam

Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam MP Ron McKinnon spent the day after Monday night’s close election race running errands, attending to his sick wife in the hospital and cleaning out his campaign office. The backbencher also fielded a call from the party whip’s office to congratulate him on retaining the seat for the Liberals while many of his Grit colleagues fell in ridings across the country. But as the party licked its wounds this week after losing its majority government status, McKinnon said he looks forward to returning to Ottawa to get back to work for his constituents. “It’s going to be interesting working in a new environment,” he told The Tri-City

(Insley did not return repeated requests from The TriCity News for an interview this week. In a statement issued Tuesday through his campaign manager, Kelsey Shein, Insley thanked the other

candidates for putting their names forward and congratulated McKinnon.) On election night, McKinnon called the campaign “very intensive and a lot of hard work,” and pledged to follow through on concerns he heard from constituents while knocking on doors during the campaign: climate change, housing and affordability. Wednesday, he also reiterated his promise to continue to lobby for federal electoral reform. As for capital projects underway in the Tri-Cities that
are in need of injections of federal government cash — such as the Port Coquitlam community centre and the Kinsight Tri-Cities Children’s Centre — McKinnon said he would advocate for the new infrastructure works as well as for the expansion of public transit, for which the Lower Mainland mayors have been pushing. Meanwhile, the NDP’s Christina Gower, who took 23.1% of the vote (a drop of 4.15% for the party over its 2015 result), spent election night in hospital waiting for
surgery after a cyst burst. From her hospital bed, Gower expressed thanks to her volunteers and family members. Her campaign struggled with limited funds and had to move its office near the end of the campaign but the psychiatric nurse said her team bounced back from the setbacks. “The campaign was truly grassroots,” Gower told The Tri-City News via text from her a bed in the RCH emergency room. “We have formed an amazing team that plans to stick together and build this
riding. We all felt like we could win tonight but if we don’t, we definitely will next time.” Tuesday, the Green Party’s Brad Nickason also told The Tri-City News that a strong team of volunteers, a clear message and a positive campaign helped his party win 6.9% of the vote in the riding, or 3,889 votes, while nationally the party earned 6.49% of the popular vote. “The Green Party saw the votes go up,” he said. “I think that’s because we kept it positive and we kept the message clear about who we are, we weren’t trying to speak to anybody else’s policies except the places they don’t meet the IPCS [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] targets.” As with the rest of Canada, Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada was a non-issue in Coquitlam-PoCo, with candidate Roland Spornicu picking up just 687 votes, or 1.2% of total votes cast in the riding. – with files from Diane Strandberg and Gary McKenna

Nelly Shin moved to the west coast last year with the goal of winning a seat for the Conservatives in the House of Commons. Monday, that is exactly what she did. The 47-year-old former Ontario resident is the newest representative for Port MoodyCoquitlam, wresting control of the riding away from the NDP in a tight three-way race. Two days after her win, Shin told The Tri-City News that she is still trying to decompress. “I think my clock for sleeping is still on the campaign,” she said. “It will take a little time to get back.” Monday night, Shin was surrounded by supporters at the Burrard Public House in Port Moody, where the atmosphere was closer to that of a playoff hockey game

With the lead changing hands multiple times, friends and family shouted at the television screens every time Shin’s name appeared. When the final poll was counted and Shin declared the winner, the room broke out into an impromptu version of “O, Canada.” “It was like a suspense movie,” she said of the “nailbiter” results. “It was a great feeling.” But while the campaign may be over, Shin’s work is just beginning. After winning by a narrow 333-vote margin, she said efforts will have to be made to
reach out to the 68.7% of residents who did not mark an X next to her name on the ballot. Shin said she is open to meeting with people from across the political spectrum. “It really just comes down to putting aside the partisan boundaries, listening to people… and doing what’s best for the community in the big picture,” she said. “That part of me is one of my strengths — loving people and meeting them where they are and listening to what they have to say.” Shin may be new to the TriCities but her involvement in Conservative politics traces back several years. She was
once in line for the party’s nomination in Toronto’s Richmond Hill but her plans were thwarted when then-Liberal Leona Alleslev, who occupied the seat, crossed the floor and joined the Tories in 2017. When Shin was unable to find a seat in her home province, she looked to B.C., eventually settling on a move to the Tri-Cities in 2018. Her arrival was controversial. When she decided to seek the nomination in Port MoodyCoquitlam, the Conservatives blocked the candidacy of Burquitlam resident Matthew Sebastiani, her only opponent in the race, without providing
a reason. The move paved the way for Shin to carry the Tory banner into the fall campaign. As someone who has only lived in the area for a year, Shin acknowledges she still has a lot to learn about the riding. But she said she has become well versed in the issues residents are facing after meeting with many on their doorsteps over the course of the campaign. “I have more to learn than anyone else who may have lived here longer,” she said, adding: “I am not shy about learning and admitting that I want to learn more. I need to be humble enough to say that.” But being a newcomer to
the riding has its benefits, she added. “Having that experience starting all over again in this part of Canada has helped me identify the struggles that a lot of Canadians are going through,” she said. Meanwhile, NDP candidate Bonita Zarrillo said she will be retuning to her job as a Coquitlam city councillor, telling The Tri-City News she will be at the next meeting. While she was disappointed with the final result, she noted the closeness of the race and that she was happy to see the top three finishers were women. She added that the riding has seen a lot of changes since the NDP’s Fin Donnelly last won the seat in 2015. “We know this riding is in transition,” she said. “We have regeneration that’s happening in Burquitlam, regeneration that’s happening even in the south end of this riding, and then we also have development happening in the north side of the riding, so, yes, this is a riding that’s in transition and maybe it showed tonight.”

ELECTION / RESULTS / THE AFTERMATH
Both the Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives and Jagmeet Singh and the NDP — as well as the federal Green Party — didn’t get their share of power, as determined by the popular vote, in Monday’s election, say two groups that are campaigning for proportional representation and single transferrable votes. TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTOS HOW WE VOTE
Electoral reformers renew call for change Proportional rep. and STV are two systems being advocated for STEfan Labbé slabbe@tricitynews.com
The aftermath of Monday’s election includes concerns that Canadians are divided on who should lead the country. And nowhere is the split between party support more illustrative than in the riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam, where Liberal, NDP and Conservative
voters finished Election Day in a near three-way tie, according to Citizens for STV, a group advocating for a system of proportional representation known as single transferable vote. “Port Moody-Coquitlam is probably the best example of why we need electoral reform in Canada,” it wrote in a Facebook post after the election. As the Liberal party gets set to form a minority government, Citizens for STV is just one of several advocates for electoral reform that are renewing a call for proportional representation.
“First-past-the-post has cheated voters in every province,” said an email to The TriCity News from the cross-partisan group Fair Vote Canada. Quoting an Angus Reid poll in which 77% of Canadians said they support a move towards elections that award seats based on some form of proportional representation, the group is calling on all parties to create an independent “Citizens Assembly of Electoral Reform” that would guide the implementation of such a system in time for the 2023 federal election.
“First-past-the-post has cheated voters in every province.”
Fair Vote Canada Fair Vote Canada highlighted how no party should be satisfied with the results of an election under a voting regime that divides the country by concentrating party power in regional strongholds. For the Conservatives, that has meant losing an opportunity to form a government
despite winning the popular vote. Across the aisle, Liberal candidates were shut out of Alberta and Saskatchewan but won 21% of the vote in those provinces, meaning under a proportional system, they would have representation in each of Canada’s provinces. But the biggest losers under
the current system are the smaller parties, as first-pastthe-post skews results in favour of the two big parties, wrote Fair Vote Canada. “The voting system has robbed more than half of the NDP voters of fair representation. They cast 16% of the votes, yet elected only 7% of the MPs,” it wrote. “Still worse, Green Party voters cast 6% of the votes but elected only three MPs, when fair representation would have been 22 MPs.” In the last election, the Liberals promised electoral reform but, in power, abandoned that promise.
ELECTIOn TREnDS
Negative campaigns can turn off voters, says Prest continued from front page
As it became clear Nelly Shin would take the riding late Tuesday evening, NDP runner-up Zarrillo told The Tri-City News the tight race was a clear sign that “this is a riding in transition.” Still, looking at the threeway split in Port MoodyCoquitlam, progressive and centre-left voters more than doubled Conservative votes at the ballot box, suggesting both an element of chance and a left-leaning strategic voter’s worst-case scenario. Together, Zarrillo, Liberal
Badiei and Green candidate Bryce Watts earned more than 35,000 votes compared to Shin’s 16,588. “If one of those two candidates really caught fire, we would be having a totally different conversation,” said Prest. The schism between left and right has also played out on the campaign trail: online, where right-of-centre Facebook groups are very active; and in public, where Conservative candidates like Shin avoided several all-candidates debates and turned down interview requests (Shin
did, on a few occasions, make herself available to The TriCity News). “Conservatives have, fairly or unfairly, a perception that they face closer scrutiny from mainstream media outlets… So they avoid debates, they avoid interviews and they just have these one-on-one conversations,” said Prest. Compared to the 2015 federal election, voter turnout was down around 5% across the Tri-Cities; while the research is mixed, there is evidence that some voters are likely to stay home the more negative the campaign gets,
especially when it comes to more casual voters. “They just won’t take part when you have that kind of negative campaigning, whether it’s targeting the person they were inclined to vote for, or just muddying the waters and creating a sort of ‘pox on all your houses’ [narrative],” Prest said. Now, post-election, the old political fault lines have only seemed to gather steam. The rise of the Bloc Quebecois in Quebec has been accompanied by discontent across the Prairies: The day after the election, Saskatchewan
Premier Scott Moe openly challenged the Liberal government to readjust equalization payments and cancel the carbon tax. And online, a nascent “Wexit” campaign has sprung up on Facebook under the motto “The West Wants Out,” its VoteWexit page going from 2,000 members on Monday to more than 220,000 and counting by Wednesday morning. While western separation is both a longshot and hardly a universal sentiment, it is a sign that political compromise could be challenging following a toxic election campaign.
“I think the Liberals have a certain amount of flexibility here, but they are going to have to compromise a bit. And that’s going to imply admitting that Canadians were not super happy with this party,” Prest said. “There’s going to have to be some acknowledgement of that or it’s going to be a difficult and fractious parliament.” On Wednesday, Trudeau said the Liberals would not form a coalition government, paving the way for his minority government to work with the other parties on an issueto-issue basis.

HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS
Bring your pets to PoMo Howwwl-a-ween Sunday event is set for Parkside brewery MArIO BArtEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Halloween in Port Moody is going to the dogs. At least
for one afternoon. The second annual Howwwl-a-ween costume party for four-legged friends will be held Sunday, Oct. 27, from noon to 3 p.m., at Parkside Brewery (2731 Murray St.). The event is a fundraiser for the Port Moody Foundation, that uses the money to invest in initia-
even one decked out as Ricky, from the TV show Trailer Park Boys. But, he added, the fun isn’t limited to dogs. Cats are invited too, Burton said. Even an incognito iguana would be welcome. “It doesn’t even have to be furry,” he said. The frocked friends will be
tives to improve the quality of life in the city. Colin Burton, an organizer of the event along with Yasmine Sabet and Kathryn Turnell, said last year’s inaugural party attracted a wide variety of canine costumes, like a dog dressed as a pizza, another as a shark, a grandmother and
judged in a variety of categories, including most creative, most original, scariest, funniest and cutest, with the winners announced at 2 p.m. The event also includes a silent auction as well as the launch of the latest Port Moody doggies calendar that features the city’s pooches pos-
ing in some of their favourite places, like Rocky Point Park and Newport Village. The calendars, which are also a fundraiser for the Port Moody Foundation, will subsequently be available for sale at two local doggie daycares, Uptown Dawg and Who Let the Dogs Out, beginning Nov. 2.

SUMMER FESTIVALS
A tasty future for RibFest in PoMo Annual event brings ‘substantial number of people’ to PoMo
Did you know oral health impacts overall health?
MARIo BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Port Moody council will consider the future of one of the city’s biggest summer events at an upcoming meeting. But if the positive vibes expressed by councillors toward RibFest at last Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting are any indication, a three-year extension of the city’s support for the annual event put on by Port Moody Rotary shouldn’t be a problem. In a presentation to councillors, the club’s past president, Ian MacPhail, said the threeday festival attracted 45,000 to 55,000 people to Rocky Point Park last year. He estimated 30% to 40% of those were visitors from outside the city. “That’s a substantial number of people coming into Port Moody,” MacPhail said. Coun. Zoe Royer praised the event as “an incredible success story” since it began as a fundraiser for Rotary five years ago, adding, “I’d like us to continue that.” MacPhail credited the city with having a substantial role in that success with its annual

According to Colgate, recent research suggests that there may be an association between oral infections, particularly gum disease, and cardiovascular disease and preterm birth. Gum disease also may make diabetes more difficult to control, since infections may cause insulin resistance and disrupt blood sugar.

contribution of up to $35,000 per year of in-kind support by paying policing costs, renting portable toilets, managing garbage disposal as well as fencing. “We’re very appreciative of the support we’ve received from council,” he said, adding in return, the Rotary Club has been able to donate tens of thousands of dollars to local organizations like the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, Eagle Ridge Manor, Share Family & Community Services and the Port Moody Soccer Club. In 2018, Rotary’s proceeds from its Ribfest were $92,000 and it was able to put $82,000 back into various community
projects. Port Moody Soccer’s president, Matthew Campbell, said several teams in his club have been able to travel to out-oftown tournaments because of support from the Rotary Club. More importantly, he said, many young players have learned valuable lessons about volunteerism by helping out at the event. “For us, it’s been an absolutely terrific partnership,” Campbell said. Coun. Hunter Madsen said the city’s partnership with Rotary has also reaped dividends beyond dollars. “Ribfest has become part of the brand of Port Moody,” he said.
Bacteria from your mouth can enter the bloodstream through infection sites in the gums. If your immune system is healthy, there should not be any adverse effects. However, if your immune system is compromised, these bacteria can flow to other areas of the body where they can cause infection. An important step in maintaining good overall health is to include dental care in your list of preventative measures. Visit the dentist for biannual cleanings or as determined by the doctor. Do not ignore any abnormalities in the mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene at home by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once per day. Mouthwashes and rinses also may help keep teeth and gums healthy.

MAILLARDVILLE
Last call looms at Coquitlam’s Club Bel Âge Assorted items from Centre Bel Âge will be on sale Saturday MARIo BARtEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
T
he spirit of a unique gathering place for Coquitlam seniors will live on, even as its physical space is demolished. That’s the hope of Diane Johnston, the president of the board of directors of Club Bel Âge, as she sorts and documents the belongings and knickknacks collected over the course of 28 years by the francophone seniors group in Maillardville. Taking inventory is necessary because the club, located in a hall next to Place Maillardville on Laval Square, is closing at the end of the year. Johnston said it hasn’t been easy writing “finis” to a place that has served as a home away from home for thousands of seniors over the years who wanted somewhere to socialize with one another, play cards or music, dance, do crafts, celebrate milestone birthdays and sip tea. But she said it was the best course of action determined by
Diane Johnston, president of the board of directors fro Club Bel Âge, a seniors club in Maillardville, in the tiny kitchen where lunches and dinners are cooked by volunteers. The club is shutting down at the end of the year. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
a committee of 22 club members struck to plot its future when the aging community centre is replaced by a 22,000sq. ft. facility to be built next door beginning next year. Johnston said a standing offer to integrate Club Bel Âge into established seniors programs at Place Maillardville, then integrate into the new centre when it’s completed by the end of 2021, didn’t prove
to be an enticing fit for the members, who have enjoyed their autonomy since the only French-Canadian branch of the former Old Age Pensioners Organization successfully petitioned Coquitlam council for its own dedicated space. And while Centre Bel Âge had walls, a small kitchen and even a little office, it was the dedication and devotion of Club Bel Âge members that
filled the space with love, laughter and even tears, she said. Many of those members are bonded by their connection to Coquitlam’s small FrenchCanadian enclave, which settled in Maillardville, attracted by employment opportunities in the old Fraser Mills sawmill nearby. But as the community has evolved over the years, Johnston said the club has been welcoming to all
seniors who need a place to go. Currently, it has 175 members, most between the ages of 70 and 100. Lisa Kamerling, the club’s co-ordinator, said they can enjoy a variety of scheduled and special activities like cribbage and whist games, monthly suppers and birthday teas, craft workshops and movie matinees. A musical group, The Jammers, practises every Wednesday morning, often attracting members who just want to listen or break into impromptu dance. “We want people to get out of the house,” Johnston said, adding that other than Kamerling’s professional support, the club is run entirely by volunteers. In fact, it’s volunteers who crowd into the tiny kitchen to put together a lunch or dinner for up to 75 people, then wash the floor afterward; or lead the autobiography club where members can share and record one another’s life stories. The solid wood storage cabinets that line two walls were built entirely with the skills some members developed over their years working in the sawmill. That spirit of pitching in and bonhomie has been the club’s driving force, Johnston said,
even as members have passed away and newly minted seniors joined. But, she added, it couldn’t overcome the uncertainty of being uprooted to new environs. “We hashed all this out and nobody wanted to do that,” Johnston said. And so, items like 50 decks of playing cards, dozens of boxes of craft materials like lace, binding tape and thread, Christmas trees and a shuffleboard mat are being collected for dispersal. Many — including tea cups and saucers, a set of three-pound dumbbells and the wooden cabinets — are being donated to nearby seniors homes or other organizations with ties to the Maillardville community. Others — myriad kitchen appliances, two sewing machines, a couple of used laptop computers, a step ladder, books, decorations and even an old piano and bench — will be sold off Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to noon at the centre, located at 1200 Cartier Ave. The money raised from the sale will go to a Christmas gala for members. The event will also be a last chance for them to celebrate in the warm embrace of their community, Johnston said.

LIBRARIES & LITERACY

BOOK OF THE WEEK n The Pants of Perspective by Anna McNuff n Reviewed by Kathy Johnson, Coquitlam Public Library
One of my favourite things to listen to while training for a race are audiobooks about running and overcoming challenges. There is something about hearing the stories of someone who has taken on a challenge that makes the kilometres go a little easier — and bonus points if it makes you laugh out loud. The Pants of Perspective by Anna McNuff ticks all the boxes. McNuff tackled the epic adventure of running the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand — a 3,000-km trek across mountains and rivers, and around the spectacular beauty that make up that country in 148 days. The book is read by the author and throughout she is entertaining, making me laugh out loud a number of times as she meets the locals, faces her personal demons and gets up close and personal with the challenging trail. I highly recommend this wonderful audiobook, which is available through Hoopla.

They shared the prize with tech marketing agency Redstamp. TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO TRI-CITY BUSINESSES
Rocky Point & Redstamp share top Golden Spike award honours Longtime PoMo biz shares top award with Redstamp MaRIo BaRTEl mbartel@tricitynews.com
A beloved ice cream maker and a tech marketing agency are Port Moody’s businesses of the year. Rocky Point Ice Cream and Redstamp were awarded the city’s Golden Spike award at a ceremony at city hall on Thursday. Rocky Point Ice Cream started in 1997 as a tiny kiosk in Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park and has since expanded to creating its own frozen delights that it sells from its own, much larger, shop in the park, as well as a pair of roving trucks nicknamed Scooper and Rocky. Earlier this year, Rocky Point’s owners, Jamie and Yvette Cuthbert, expanded to a second location in New Westminster. They also started construction on a new 6,000sq. ft. manufacturing space in the old Western Safety fire and safety equipment warehouse right next to Rocky Point Park.
Redstamp, based in Port Moody’s Suter Brook Village, has been helping companies grow through branding, marketing, web design and search engine optimization since 2011. Other Golden Spike winners announced Thursday include: • Gallery Bistro for its contribution to arts in business. • Port Moody Refillery for environmental leadership. • Gabi & Jules Homemade Pies for inclusive excellence • Build a Biz Kids as the city’s best new business. • Taryn Barker, of The Little Butcher, as the top young entrepreneur. The winners were chosen from 83 businesses nominated by Port Moody residents. “Our winners are united in their creativity and innovation, their commitment to customer service excellence, and their desire to give back to the community,” said Coun. Hunter Madsen, the chair of the city’s economic development committee. The awards are a precursor to Small Business Week in Canada, which begins Oct. 20.
How do we make Port Moody an age-friendly community? The City is looking for input from Port Moody residents aged 55+, as well as caregivers, as we develop an Age-Friendly Plan. Our plan will guide our city in becoming an age-friendly community – a place where older people can lead active lifestyles, live in security, enjoy good health, and continue to participate fully in society. Take the survey online at portmoody.ca/agefriendly Pick up a paper copy at Port Moody City Hall, 100 Newport Dr, or Kyle Centre, 125 Kyle St Submit your survey by Friday, November 1, 2019
Our plan will focus on eight themes established by the World Health Organization to evaluate a municipality’s age-friendliness: • outdoor spaces and buildings • transportation • housing • respect and social inclusion • social participation • communication and information • civic participation and employment • community support and health services

This past summer, about a dozen members of the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club carpooled twice to Princeton for a weekend fossil dig. The Interior area is well known for rock and gem hounding as it has one of the best collections in the world of Eocene Epoch fossils. Whatever natural disaster happened during that time period about 50 million years ago, it left a sedimentary deposit that perfectly preserved the region’s flora and fauna with such detail that the webbing from an insects’ wings can be studied in minute detail. The trips yielded dozens of finds for the club, with fossils showing the leaves of metasequoia and deciduous trees, ferns, grass and pine needles. In the mountains of shale, they even uncovered bug outlines. The fossils capture just what the region looked like back then: A subtropical climate with lots of insects — much like today’s Louisiana swamp lands, said Andrew Danneffel, organizer of the Port Moody Rock and Mineral show,
Cedar Drive elementary teacher Jasmine De Vera-Pilling, a member of the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club, shows students fossils found near Princeton this summer during a club field trip.

which runs this weekend at the Kyle Centre. Titled Petrified 2: Another Look at Fossils and Mud Jaspers, the event has the big-
gest fossil collection in the 41-year history of the club’s annual show. And much of what the group pulled out of Princeton will be on display.
Four-year club member Jasmine De Vera-Pilling said she was thrilled with her fossil discoveries. “It’s such an adrenaline
rush when you find something with so much history. It makes you want to keep looking for more and not give up. But there are only so many hours in the day.” De Vera-Pilling often brings her fossils, rocks and minerals to Cedar Drive elementary, where she teaches, to allow her young charges to explore. “The kids are very fascinated by them and love to touch them,” she said during an interview Monday, noting she ties the objects with history and geology lessons and
relates them to Minecraft and Pokémon Go hunting games. “The students share the same enthusiasm I do. They want to learn everything about them.” Danneffel said he sees fossil digs as a way of saving history, collecting them before they’re ruined by the elements and erosion. Still, fossils won’t be the only attraction on this weekend’s program. Rod Bartlett and Brennan Martens of the Vancouver Paleontological Society will have a 14-foot replica Bellusaurus dinosaur skeleton exhibited while educator Erica Williams will return for interactive displays. De Vera-Pilling will also run a gem panning demonstration, using tailings from the club’s back shop at Kyle Centre, and vendors will be on site. As well, there’ll be a silent auction every half hour, with bids taken for a chance to win special rocks and gems.

Strong start for auction Deadline is nov. 2 to place a bid to win a PdA prize janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
An online auction to aid arts education at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts reached about 70% of its goal on the opening weekend. The fundraiser for the programs at the Maillardville facility stood at 72.4% — or $7,244 — as of Monday morning, with more than 300 bids placed for prizes. Executive director Joan McCauley said she’s hopeful the organization will surpass its $10,000 target. Now in its fourth year and sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, the online auction seeks to: • subsidize spots in classes for youth in financial need; • fund the Coquitlam Youth Theatre tour; • expand the artist-inresidence program; • and pay for the second week of the spring break workshops. Among the prizes on the virtual block are: two $500 gift cards for Coquitlam Centre mall; a V2V cruise to Victoria and back; a $500 VIA Rail travel credit; a half-day whale watching adventure; and a two-night stay at a Ucluelet resort. “There is still time to place a bid or make a donation, which can be done through the auction website by clicking the Donate button at the top left corner of the page,” McCauley said.

Art teacher puts emphasis on textures When Mylene DayritKubicek teaches kids how to paint or draw, she usually starts with a simple question: What do you think this subject feels like? Cotton candy is an example she gives. She gets her students to imagine its sticky, sugary texture in their hands and replicate that sensation with layers. It’s an experiment DayritKubicek tries often with her home learners in Cloverdale and to School District 43 students taking the Art a la Carte after-school lessons offered through Place des Arts, where she’s been on contract. Dayrit-Kubicek flips through her portfolio to demonstrate some of the work she’s done with her students — all easy designs with bright, bubbling colours. She carries it into her own artwork, too. In her home studio in Coquitlam, which has a view of Our Lady of Fatima Church, Dayrit-Kubicek paints in vivid acrylic and watercolour hues, sometimes incorporating mixed media elements. “I don’t really have a style,” she said, touching the landscapes and still life scenes she has on the tables and walls. “I do whatever. I use my imagination.” Three of her new images — titled Island, Birdie and Holy Mother, Holy Son — will be

in this weekend’s Art Focus Artists Association fall show in Port Coquitlam. It’s an organization DayritKubicek has enjoyed since she signed up three years ago, with the aim to branch out into the Tri-Cities and learn from other artists. Since then, the Langara College-trained graphic designer has taken on key roles for the club. She became its webmaster and created a new digital portal (artfocusartists. wixsite.com/afaa). She also designed its fall show poster. A UBC psychology graduate, Dayrit-Kubicek also regularly attends the club meetings but shies away from its weekly art drop-ins “because I socialize too much,” she said with a laugh. “I don’t get anything done because I’m always talking.” These days, Dayrit-Kubicek is turning her attention to urban scene drawings. She shows a pencil sketch of her duplex in south Coquitlam. With graphic design, she said, she feels constrained by the screen but, “with painting and drawing, my hand is free. It flows naturally.” The 26th annual Art Focus Artists Association fall show opens Friday at 7 p.m. with a reception in The Outlet at Leigh Square (behind Port Coquitlam city hall) and continues Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oil, watercolour and acrylic paintings plus mixed media and sculptures are available. Musician Jamie Bonk will entertain.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Soccer goalie gets her kicks on football field Kicking a ball downfield isn’t an unusual skill for Kelsey Eckert MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Kelsey Eckert tried football on a dare. She made the Centennial Centaurs’ senior team because of her self-confidence. The Grade 11 student at Centennial secondary, and a manager with the football team, was running water bottles around during practice when one of the Centaurs’ assistant coaches suggested she try kicking a field goal. Wearing white Vans sneakers, Eckert nailed a 35-yarder. The coach said the team could use her. Kicking a ball downfield or toward a specific target isn’t an unusual skill for Eckert. She’s a goalie for her Coquitlam Metro-Ford U17 soccer team in the BC Premier League as well as for her school’s side, the defending two-time provincial champion. But Eckert said there’s a vast difference between the mechanics and mentality of kicking a football through the uprights and a soccer ball to a midfielder. With the former, she has to aim her foot higher to connect with the centre of the football — its sweet spot
Centennial Centaurs’ kicker Kelsey Eckert says her experience as a soccer goalie is good preparation for coming into a football game at decisive moments. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
— then follow through with her entire leg to maximize her power and accuracy. “I just have to focus on kicking it like a football player and not like a soccer player,” Eckert said. Mentally, she said she has to block out the distraction of onrushing linemen trying to get to her or deflect the ball. “You have to focus on your-
self and the ball, and nothing else matters,” Eckert said. Both sports present unique pressures. Just as a soccer match can turn on a goalkeeper’s ability to stop a penalty shot, a football kicker can win or lose a game with one swing of the leg. Eckert said success in either comes from a deep belief in her own abilities.
“I just look down and kick it as high as I can and far as I can and don’t look back,” she said. Still, the repetitive routine of booting the ball through the uprights at the quiet end of the practice field can bring its down moments, said Eckert, who has been able to have success from as far as 40 yards. If she feels she’s losing her
groove or struggling to find her rhythm, she has learned to step away from the ball and go for a run around the track to regain her confidence. Centaurs head coach Dino Geremia said Eckert’s selfassurance made her transition from manager to player pretty seamless. She was already comfortable with the players and they readily accepted her
as one of their own. “It hasn’t changed the dynamic at all,” he said. But, Geremia added, Eckert’s presence on the field has sent his charges an important message: If a kid has talent, they’ll have an opportunity to play regardless of experience or gender. “Many times, that’s all a kid wants, is a chance,” he said. Eckert, who’s one of only three girls playing high school football in the province, according to BC School Sports, said she’s keen to make the best of her opportunity. With the blessing of her parents and soccer coaches, she’s working hard at practice with the Centaurs’ other two kickers, as well as assistant coach Giulio Caravatta, who had some experience kicking the ball during his playing career in the Canadian Football League. And she’s confident whenever the tap comes on her shoulder pads, she’ll have the right stuff to get the ball wherever it needs to go. “I know I can be stronger than the guys mentally,” Eckert said. “Just because I’m a girl playing on an all-guys team doesn’t mean anything.” • The Centaurs were shut out for the second consecutive week, falling 56-0 to Lord Tweedsmuir secondary on Friday. The Terry Fox Ravens also lost, 28-6, to the Abbotsford Panthers.

Buono’s goal not enough Coquitlam freshman scores second goal in 2-1 loss Coquitlam’s Kiara Buono scored her second goal of the season, but it wasn’t enough to lift her SFU Clan women’s soccer team to victory over Western Washington University, Saturday in Bellingham, Wash. The 12th-ranked Vikings came back with two goals in the second half to defeat the Clan, 2-1. The win extanded WWU’s undefeated streak over SFU to 22 games dating back to 2008. Buono, a freshman out of Centennial secondary school, took advantage of a failed clearance to drive a shot past Western Washington’s goalkeeper, Natalie Dierickx, in the seventh minute. It was the Clan’s only shot in the first half. The Vikings, on the other hand, fired 24 shots at SFU goalie Nicole Anderson, who made four saves. The loss dropped SFU’s record to 1-9-1 overall, and 1-6-0 in matches against Great Northwest Athletic conference opponents. The Clan host Concordia
on Oct. 26, at 1 p.m. at Terry Fox Field in Burnaby.
MEN DRAW 0-0
Port Coquitlam’s Aidan Bain recorded his second straight shutout, but his teammates were unable to score either as SFU’s men’s soccer team battled Montana State University Billings to a scoreless draw, Saturday in Billings, Mont. Bain faced four shots and made three saves. The Clan, meanwhile, fired 14 shots at the Yellowjackets’ keeper Jessy Martin — three of them by Coquitlam’s Matteo Poloisi. The result leaves the two teams tied in conference play with three wins, a loss and a draw each. SFU plays Concordia

Looking for a new home? Start here.
Newcomers to Canada buy one in every five homes Newcomers to Canada are moving the dial on real estate demand, with one in every five Canadian homes purchased by a buyer who arrived in the past 10 years, according to a survey by national real estate brokerage Royal LePage. The study of 1,500 newcomers to Canada, all of whom arrived in the past decade, included immigrants, refugees, those on working visas and international students. “In addition to supporting Canada’s economic growth, newcomers to Canada are vital to the health of our national real estate market,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage. “The demand for affordable housing can be met through housing policies that encourage smart and sustainable development, with a focus on protecting and developing green spaces in our urban centres. Canada’s economy and labour markets are expanding and it is crucial that housing supply keeps pace.” Eighty-six per cent of Canadian newcomers said they see real estate as a good investment and 75 per cent arrive with savings to help purchase a property. The study showed that of the newcomers that purchased a home, the average time was three years after arriving in Canada. “It is not surprising that newcomers see a home in Canada as a good investment. Having lived abroad myself, I have seen first-hand the challenges of relocating a family to a new world. It takes courage
and commitment. Newcomers are doing more than investing in Canadian real estate, they are investing in their family’s future,” added Soper. Royal LePage said in its report, “Despite the desire to purchase a home, the homeownership rate of newcomers is only 32 per cent. The overall homeownership rate for all Canadians is 68 per cent. Of those who purchase a home, 51 per cent of newcomers buy a detached house, 18 per cent buy a condominium, 15 per cent buy a townhouse and 13 per cent buy a semi-detached house.” If the current international migration level is maintained, Canadian newcomers are expected to purchase 680,000 homes over the next five years, said Royal LePage. B.C. RESULTS In British Columbia, the homeownership rate among newcomers was the same as the national figure, at 32 per cent, and the figure was the same for newcomers living in Greater Vancouver. But the proportion of newcomers to British Columbia having enough funds to help buy a home was higher than the national figure, at 89 per cent. Royal LePage said, “Consumer confidence in the province’s real estate market is healthy, as 85 per cent of respondents in British Columbia believe that homeownership is a good financial investment. Eighty-six per cent of newcomers in British Columbia remain in their first city or region of residence. Currently, newcomers
represent 15 per cent of all home buyers in the province and they are projected to purchase 91,000 homes over the next five years at the current rate of international migration.” Randy Ryalls, general manager, Royal LePage

Sterling Realty, added, “Greater Vancouver is one of the most desirable places in the world to live and we attract newcomers who are optimistic about what the city has to offer in terms of both lifestyle and employment.”

It is with great sadness that the family of Carolyn Edith Bowen announces her passing, after her courageous three year battle with cancer, on October 4th at the young age of 67. Carolyn will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 46 years, Mike, and their children Daniel, Yvonne (Chris) and Mike (Hailey). Carolyn will also be forever remembered by her five grandchildren, Trisztan, Lejla, Szolange, Miley and Hayden, as well as her four brothers (Terry, Gary, Fred and David), sister (Diana) and numerous extended friends and family. A native of Saskatchewan, Carolyn moved out to British Columbia following the completion of her nursing program. After meeting Mike, Carolyn became a permanent member of the community, working 30 years at Wilson Centre Family Practice, where the staff and patients were more friends than coworkers. Carolyn often remarked that she enjoyed working there so much that she would have paid to work there. A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, October 26th at 11:00am at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish, with prayers being held the evening prior at 7:30pm. Donations to the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research are greatly appreciated in lieu of flowers. Oliveira Funeral Home 604-942-7920 www.oliveirafuneralhome.com
