Terry Fox Ravens forward Lukas Nikula (right) battles a Kwantlen Park Timberwolves defender for the ball in the first half of their first-round match in the Fraser Valley boys’ high school soccer championships Tuesday at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. The Ravens, who are seeded second among the 16 teams that began the tournament, won the match 8-1 and moved on to face seventh seed Tamanawis on Thursday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline).

Nearly $500,000 of provincial funding will provide support to children with special needs in daycare and may eliminate a waiting list, according to the agency that supports families in the Tri-Cities. The news comes as school and city officials establish a task force to deal with an ongoing daycare crunch, which has left parents scrambling for child care, especially if they live in growing neighbourhoods where space is at a premium. Meetings to establish terms of reference for the task force are expected to take place once the new school trustees and city councillors or sworn in. Then, efforts will be made to snag $25,000 in funds per city for the initiative from the Ministry of Children and Families. see SUPPORT, page 16

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT

Beedie lays out plan for massive Fraser Mills dev’t. that will be years in making Aquatic complex, hundreds of units part of proposal Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

The Fraser Mills reboot is in its final stages and now it’s time to begin getting it online, according to the developer. The 95-acre project being put together by Beedie Living between United Boulevard and the Fraser River was put on hold in 2008 after the original plans had gone through the official community plan stages with the city of Coquitlam. The economic crisis of the era delayed the plan until 2016, when Beedie revived it, making some major changes. But before it can begin building, there are still some hurdles to clear at city hall. “I wouldn’t say we’re anxious. We’re very motivated, very keen, we’re ready to go,” said David Roppel, Beedie Living’s director of residential development, shortly after delivering a presentation on the project to a gathering of about 50 at a luncheon in Coquitlam organized by the Real Estate Institute of BC. “We spent two years on the reboot, and it’s been very positive and all the additions have been improvements to Fraser Mills, so we’re ready to build it,” he told The Tri-City News. The Beedie Group bought the land in 2004, long before the division Roppel heads was formed. The property had previously been occupied by the Fraser River Sawmill, one of the largest operations around. It was so big, it had trouble recruiting workers and brought in many from outside B.C., including a contingent from Quebec that eventually settled in Maillardville.

wait, this dev’t. is not big enough? Really?

An illustration of Beedie Living’s planned Fraser Mills development on the Fraser River in Coquitlam. The complex will likely go to city council early next year and the early stages of the project are six to eight years away, with the completion likely taking up to 25 years. “That’s formed a lot about Fraser Mills and what we want to do there and connect with Maillardville and the rest of the Lower Mainland,” Roppel said. In addition to the 4,700-unit residential component, the project, which is being billed as Coquitlam’s only community with waterfront access, is expected to have 16 to 18 towers, industrial buildings employing approximately 1,500, and 13,000 sq. ft. of commercial/ retail space. Along with all the water access — including a wharf and a pier — the centrepiece will be a 30,000 sq. ft. riverfront aquatic complex, a plaza and a pier that Beedie will build for the city. “This will be the beating heart of Fraser Mills,” said Coquitlam city council was caught off guard Monday when it caught criticism at a public hearing for a planned Burquitlam development having too little density. Boffo Properties has applied for a rezoning to build two sixstorey wood-frame buildings at Como Lake Avenue and Dogwood Road. They would be built on eight lots, four facing Como Lake and four behind them on Lea Avenue, just

Roppel, who called the aquatic centre the crown jewel that will help attract not only its residents but neighbouring ones as well. “It’s a good community building tool. It’s a draw and any community needs a draw. It’s the new wow factor.” The original plan called for a community amenity building but the city asked Beedie to do more. Roppel said the cost of the complex will exceed what Beedie would have been required to pay in amenity fees and the company is fine with that. “That was good in 2008 but it’s not what we want to do in 2016 or 2046. We want it to be knitted into the rest of Coquitlam,” Roppel told his audience. “It’s needed for everyeast of Clarke Road, and would comprise 90 one-bedroom, 46 two-bedroom and 40 threebedroom condos for a total of 176 units. But a resident of the neighbourhood, Don Violette, said since the location is a short walk from the Burquitlam SkyTrain station, highrises should be built there because that’s the type of housing the area should have. “Planning seems to get

one to get down to Fraser Mills. whether you live there or not, because it will be the spark to get everyone to Fraser Mills.” Roppel said the development will have more than 16 acres of parks, more than triple what’s required. “That’s a good starting point for planning a community,” he said. The parkland will include a kilometre-long foreshore walkway, bike trails, soccer pitch, tennis courts, open space and public art representing the heritage and present-day aspects of the region. “This will be a rich, urban environment,” he said. With industrial land at a premium, Beedie has begun some of the development by in the way of politics, or vice versa, politics get in the way of planning” Violette said. “The density falls far short of what is promised to province, country and [the region].” His comments ran counter to criticism of too much density in the city frequently levelled during the recently concluded civic election campaign and at previous public hearings. “It’s not often we get the

building structures at the south end of King Edward Street. One of them is occupied by Olivier’s Breads bakery, which has a retail space as well as a production facility, a combination Beedie wants to promote. “They’re the incubator for what we want to do at Fraser Mills,” said Roppel, who added the French connection between the bakery and Maillardville was a coincidence. “We didn’t plan that. If we could’ve, we would’ve, but it worked out well.” Roppel said Beedie will pay about $55 million in development cost charges to the city to build infrastructure to support the $3.3-billion project, including $5 million it paid toward construction of the message that we don’t have enough density,” said Mayor Richard Stewart during the subsequent council meeting, when second and third readings of the rezoning were approved. Stewart told Violette the city’s official community plan and neighbourhood plan called for medium density on the properties and Boffo planned a development based on that. He added it would be hard for council to reject the

King Edward Overpass. He said other public benefits include 118 market rental homes, 117 below-market rental units, $300 million in total public benefit (including the aquatic complex) and $9 million in annual municipal tax. Beedie has begun the process of applying for amendments to the city’s official community plan. Roppel hopes to start doing community consultation and having city council consider it in early 2019. He estimated the early phases of the project are still six to eight years away from completion, with the aquatic hub eight to 12 years away. It’s anticipated it will take 25 years to complete the development. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Several other speakers at the public hearing praised the project for its aesthetics and amenities. One of those was a retired provincial transportation planner who worked on the Evergreen Extension who said the project was exactly what planners had envisioned. newsroom@tricitynews.com

FARMERS MARKET

Wood buffalo on offer at winter market 11th annual event will run in Port Moody until April

Produce program attracted more than 300 kids, a 50% increase from its inaugural year in 2017. The program teaches children the local food system — where it comes from, how to grow it and how to cook it. “We’ve had really great feedback from parents in terms of their kids being engaged. It has so many activities where they have to go to the farmers about what they like to do,” said McLoughlin. She pointed out parents were pleased the program has some unintended benefits, such as developing social, reading and fiscal skills. “There’s lots of spinoff benefits to it, that the kids are learning through the program but it’s also a fun way for them to engage with the local food system,” she said. • The Port Moody Winter Farmers Market runs Nov. 4 to April 28, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays at Port Moody Recreation Complex, (300 Ioco Rd.), except for Remembrance Day (Nov. 11), Dec. 30 and Easter Sunday (April 21.) There will also be a Christmas market on Dec. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The summer market will resume May 5 in the parking lot at Dogwood Pavilion at Poirier Street and Winslow Avenue.

Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Farmers markets can usually be counted on for quirky commodities and wood buffalo would certainly qualify. One of the new vendors at the Coquitlam Farmers Market Society’s winter market, which begins Sunday at the Port Moody Recreation Complex, is Tesfa Farms from Langley. Wood buffalo meat is lean, but its milk is fatty, which is why cheese connoisseurs love it. Society executive director Tabitha McLoughlin said one of the members of the society’s jury that screens vendors exclaimed, “Oh my god, that cheese is so good” when trying it out. This will be the society’s 11th winter market with up to 45 vendors. About 25 of them will be outside selling produce and other food, while about 20 will be inside peddling prepared foods, crafts and other items. The society just concluded its 23rd outdoor market, held at Coquitlam’s Dogwood Pavilion, last Sunday. McLoughlin estimated it attracted an average of 2,500

The Port Moody Winter Farmers Market will have up to 45 vendors and run Sundays from Nov. 4 and April 28 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Port Moody Recreation Complex (300 Ioco Rd.). shoppers each week. “It was really good. We were fortunate to have good weather for the majority of it. We had some new farms join us this year, which is always a good sign,” said McLoughlin. “We’d love to see more, but we’re happy to see what we’ve done.”

She said Aslan Organic Farms from Yarrow and Crisp Organic Farms of Abbotsford were popular additions this summer. “All the farms said they had a good year, including the new folks. Sometimes it takes a couple of years before they get

established, but they seemed to be happy with the levels of sales that they did,” said McLoughlin. The market also did a bunch of workshops and demonstrations including one on kokedama, Japanese-style moss balls that help insulate roots

and hold water so they can incorporate it into indoor plants. A municipal all-candidates meet-and-greet proved a popular format for the politicians and voters bringing a lot of first-timers to the market, McLoughlin said. The society’s Power of

MOSSOM CREEK

Get ‘real world’ experience at hatchery Program gets students ‘away from these screens’ Diane StranDberG The Tri-CiTy News

More than a dozen students spent a recent sunny day outdoors to learn the ropes of collecting and fertilizing salmon eggs for a hatchery program at Mossom Creek in Port Moody. Along the way, their teachers say, they learned about teamwork, cooperation and the importance of salmon to the ecosystem. “Getting away from these screens and all that stuff, and these things we learn in class or things we learn in general are esoteric concepts, and here they are in the real world,” said Diether Malakoff, a Centennial teacher. Mossom has always encouraged students to participate in salmon hatchery activities — it was a cornerstone of the original salmon program started by founders Rod McVicar and Ruth Foster, who were Centennial teachers at the time. But for a few years the Centennial salmon program has been in hiatus although students would occasionally make the trek from the Coquitlam school to the Port

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Students from Centennial secondary school’s salmon club and Heritage Woods’ Science 9 co-op program spent a day helping to collect chum eggs from female salmon and fertilizing milt from males for Port Moody’s Mossom Creek Hatchery to raise the next generation of salmon. The goal is to connect students with nature and encourage stewardship of local creeks. Moody hatchery to help out. Now, it looks as if the program has been revived, according to Malakoff, who said he was approached by a group of students who wanted to get more involved in the hatchery. After a visit with students last

spring, Malakoff decided to get his Class 2 driver’s licence so he could drive the school bus and, on Oct. 19, the salmon program participated in the fall egg take at the Alouette River and the egg fertilization process at the hatchery.

“They were out there grabbing the fish and learning about the fertilizing rate, which is 20% in the wild and upwards of 90% at the hatchery, so they were really improving the survival rate of salmon and the kids are wrapping their heads

around that,” he said. The next step will be to establish a course, likely Environmental Science 11, an accredited course in the new curriculum, that students can take that will explore more of the issues around salmon and

the environment. Malakoff said he took on the extra challenge to be a teacher sponsor of the program so he could find ways to introduce more field work into his Grade 9 science course and, along the way, get inspired by his students’ enthusiasm. A Centennial graduate himself, Malakoff said he wants to support the salmon program’s legacy for other students. “Its an experience that’s super imapactful but it’s also not just hanging out, we’re doing work and learning,” Malakoff. A trio of Heritage Woods students also participated in the work party and Mike Baldus, Science co-op coordinator, said the egg take day — students worked with volunteers and officials to collect eggs, fertilize milt and then mix it to get the eggs started for the hatchery — was a great experience for the kids. “Especially significant is that we can work in our own backyard to learn what’s happening all around us,” Baldus said. “Hopefully, this knowledge will then spread into our community and develop a greater understanding and appreciation for the environment around us.” • More information about Mossom hatchery and education opportunities is available at www.mossomcreek.org.

Last call for long-distance bus service in Coquitlam Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Wednesday’s closure of Greyhound bus service eliminates a convenient stop for Tri-City travellers and removes a major employer for the city of Coquitlam. As of midnight Oct. 31, the long-serving bus service shut down down, to be replaced by a few new bus transportation services — but none with stops in Coquitlam. A visit to the Coquitlam depot Wednesday found the doors still open and a bus rounding the corner to drop off riders but an otherwise silent operation. As many as 42 people were to be laid off during the clo-

sure, according to company reports earlier in the year, and a for sale sign was also posted on the corner of the property at 100 Woolridge St., just west of Ikea. While replacement bus services are being established, stops in Coquitlam appear to be ruled out for now. But Firat Uray, the owner of Rider Express based out of Saskatchewan, said it’s possible a Coquitlam stop could be arranged in the future, depending on need and bookings. The service offers routes between Vancouver and Calgary as well as Calgary to Winnipeg but the closest stop is the Pacific Central Station off Terminal Avenue in Vancouver.

The company has six large coaches ready to roll, with the first scheduled service on Nov. 1. Uray said people can still call the company and arrange for pick-up or drop-off as long as the location is close to Highway 1. “We don’t want to go 20 minutes or half an hour,” Uray said, “But five minutes is OK.” Another intercity bus service, called Ebus, will run between Vancouver, Kamloops and Victoria, with pick-ups at the the River Rock Resort and Casino in Richmond as well as the Vancouver bus station and the Fraser Heights rec centre in Surrey. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

CANINE ETIQUETTE

Dog waste disposal cans popping up in PoCo Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Carrying a bag of poop when walking Fido takes some of the joy out of pet ownership. But the city of Port Coquitlam has found a way for people to dispose of dog waste conveniently while also eliminating some of the environmental downsides of pet waste management. Instead of leaving the poop behind, dropping a bag of it in city waste carts or firing it onto the nearest lawn or bush, dog owners can drop it into one of 19 special dog waste bins placed throughout the city, including two dog parks. “Then it’s not going to landfills,” said Mitchell Guest, PoCo’s acting city parks manager, who said the bins will be rolled out in the next few weeks, complete with wraps

encouraging dog owners to dispose of their pet waste properly. He said pilot projects at two dog parks indicated a willingness to dispose of waste properly so the idea of expanding the program made sense. It’s too early to say how much of the doggy doo is being collected as the contracted company, Scooby’s Dog Waste Removal Service, has just started the program. But Guest said the dog waste bins will help the city be more environmentally friendly as well as convenient for dog owners as the bins will be emptied and taken to a waste water treatment plant for safe disposal. The annual cost to empty 19 bins will be approximately $38,000, according to the city, and a one-time cost of $4,000 to wrap 19 bins. As for locations, Guest said

they were chosen based on a waste audit that showed where they were most needed. The business of dog waste removal is “picking up,” according to Scooby’s owner Bill Droeske, who said eight cities have contracted with his company to pick up dog waste and Metro Vancouver is also a big customer. Dog waste bags are cut open at the company’s warehouse and the waste trucked to the Iona sewage treatment plant. More cities are collecting the waste to keep it out of the landfill because it creates methane gas, which is a big greenhouse gas contributor. “Everything organic in the landfill creates greenhouse gasses,” Droeske said, noting, “The basic idea is to divert as much of this away away from landfill as possible.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘Champions’ sought for PoCo rec complex Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

A group of community representatives that gives feedback to the city of Port Coquitlam about its new recreation complex is scouting for volunteers. This week, the municipality issued a call for members of the public to step forward to learn about — and champion — the $132-million rebuild of the downtown facility, which is due to open in 2021. When complete, the 205,000-square foot building will include: a leisure pool, three ice sheets, a new Terry Fox Library, a games room, fitness centre and other amenities. Phase 1 of the reconstruction is due to open next fall, with two new ice rinks and the library. Lori Bowie, PoCo’s recreation director, told The Tri-City News she would like to see at least four people come on board to replace members who’ve left over the past year — specifically in the areas of racquetball, aquatics and weight room fit-

Currently, the group has reps from PoCo’s hockey, lacrosse and volleyball clubs as well as an official from the Rick Hansen Foundation — to speak up about accessible features in the new structure — as well as the PoCo Sport Alliance. “What we’re looking for are people who want to learn about the recreation centre, tell people about it, direct them to our website for information, and share their ideas and ques-

tions with the city,” Bowie said. “Ideally, we would like people who can stick with the group until the recreation centre opens.” Candidates are asked to apply before Monday, Nov. 5 and are required to attend quarterly meetings during the duration of the project; the stakeholder group reports to Bowie. To fill out a form, visit portcoquitlam.ca/reccomplex; volunteers selected will be contacted by Nov. 13. For more details, call Bowie at 604-927-7907 or email bowiel@portcoquitlam.ca.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

A stinky problem

There are as many dogs in Metro vancouver as the combined population of the Tri-Cities and that means a lot of dog waste going into the trash or being left on trails and boulevards. What can be done? Port Coquitlam is trying to deal with the situation by placing dog waste-only bins at 19 locations in the city that are emptied weekly and taken to a wastewater treatment plant for safe disposal. Metro vancouver has numerous suggestions on its solid waste services website for dealing with the waste of the region’s 350,000 pooches — including flushing it, calling a collection service for condos and apartments, building a composter using special instructions at cityfarmer.org for use on shrubs (not vegetable gardens), plus other recommendations for other animals. Keeping dog waste off the ground is important because people will step in it; it’s not fertilizer and it does not disappear in the rain. Throwing a bag of animal waste into the bush or leaving it on someone’s lawn is not a solution, either. as we live in increasingly dense neighbourhoods, being a responsible dog owner means taking proper care of dog waste.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

Do you think cities shoulD proviDe collection services for Dog waste?

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change threatens all that you hold beer S orry to interrupt your sexy Halloween celebrations but there’s something truly horrifying that you really need to know. an article published in the scientific journal Nature Plants looked at future climate scenarios and global economic models and came to the conclusion that climate change could cause massive increases in... the price of beer. Noooooo! The researchers projected heat and ANDY PREST drought trends, and found that barley production could be severely affected by the shifting climate, forcing the price of beer to go up in many places. of particular note was Ireland, the world’s leader in beer consumption, which could see beer prices triple as farmers struggle to grow temperature-sensitive barley in a hotter and drier world. This, surely, must be the last straw for anyone who still thinks that climate change is a hoax or that it won’t do any real harm. Climate change is going to deprive us of beer! This is not a drill! In all seriousness, this study isn’t the most important climaterelated crisis our species is facing. It’s not even the thousandthDelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

most important climate-related crisis. but it hits close to home for a segment of the population that previously may have been quick to shrug off climate science as a nothing of their concern. The report certainly created quite a buzz: It was the most-read piece in the history of Nature Plants. Even the authors of the report noted the absurdity of how much attention this study got when compared to all of the rest of the truly scary climate science that has come out in recent years. The beer-reviewed study came on the heels of a truly scary report. The latest study from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a united Nations sponsored report that was co-authored by 90 scientists from 40 countries around the world, painted a chilling picture — or, more accurately, a melting picture — of Earth’s current state and what is in store in the very near future if we don’t make drastic changes. The study concluded that if climate change continues at its current pace, coastlines will be in danger due to rising sea levels and cause extreme heat waves, drought and famine that will affect hundreds of millions of people. The only problem, buzz-wise, was that the report had all the drama and excitement of an instruction manual for a toaster oven. Maybe that’s why people are still ignoring all the warnings. Just this week, ontario Premier doug ford continued his fight against carbon pricing — the method favoured by many economists

for reducing global-warming emissions — by saying that prices on everything will rise, because “everything is made of carbon.” Hoo, boy. Now THaT seems like a guy who should be worried about a beer shortage. In fact, maybe the beer report folks have finally cracked the code of what needs to be done to finally wake the world up to the dangers of man-made climate change. Maybe we need to focus on the lowest common denominator, break it down in ways that are understandable to the dullest among us, those with diminished intellectual capacity who are only fit for the simplest of tasks, such as president of the united States. We need a scientific study on what food shortages will do to the Kardashians. are you prepared to face a world with a 60% reduction in booty? What effect will uncontrollable wild fires have on our cellphone reception? If Manhattan is under water, what will that do to the programming available on Netflix? We need to make this personal — more personal than the fact that your children and grandchildren may live in a scorched hellscape, sucking bits of water from cactus roots and scavenging for dead squirrels while working on a formula for SPf 4000 sunblock. Who cares about that? but what’s this about beer now? Which way to the solar panel store?! @Sports_Andy • aprest@nsnews.com

Think of srs. and drivers in decisions PHILIP WARBURTON PHOTO

Letter writer Philip Warburton snapped this photo of cars parked near Minnekhada Park so people can get a look at bears in the area.

BEARS

Getting close to bears could get them killed The Editor, It is a shame that some people just don’t get it. Not only have there been six or more cars parked on a corner near Minnekhada Regional Park recently, which makes driving in the area difficult, but they are flagrantly parked in clear violation of the tempo-

rary no-parking signs put up by the city of Coquitlam. On top of that, there have been anywhere from two to three, and up to a dozen, people looking at the salmonbearing stream daily since the middle of October, with some spending up to all daylight hours there. No, not to see the

salmon, but in hopes of catching a glimpse or take a photo of a bear, or possibly bear cubs with mother bear seeking food in the stream. This simply indicates to the bear that people and food go together. You figure it out but, in all likelihood, when the bear does the math, it is going

to end up in trouble and likely get shot for being a nuisance bear down the road. Come on people, how long do we have to keep talking about best practices for keeping the bears out of trouble and people safe? Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, We know that city councils hear many promotions. A recent one to Coquitlam council will be debated in a few weeks to do with large, flashy, roadside, look-what-we’re-sellingtoday LED billboards. Obviously such billboards carry the purpose of catching your attention while you drive on a rainy day or night. I asked a few newly elected officials what their position was on this promotion and one response was not about driving safety, it was about getting money to use to fix up parks. Seniors like myself enjoy our community. Many of us feel that Coquitlam is number one in all of British Columbia. We like the fact that we do not have to get out of our cars to gas up. We know of people who drive from other communi-

Every five or 10 years, this privilege is threatened by the oil companies. So for the newly elected, please, when you get your large agenda packages, think of older residents when it comes to safety for all drivers — not the distraction of LED billboards — and our need for full service fill-ups.

Pedestrian hit in Pitt Meadows PoCo man in critical condition

A 22-year-old Port Coquitlam man is in critical condition after being struck by a five-ton truck early Thursday in Pitt Meadows. The incident occurred shortly after 2:30 a.m. at Lougheed Highway and Harris Road, when witnesses said the victim stepped into the eastbound lane while trying to hail a taxi. Several people were able to administer CPR and the man was taken to hospital. “This is a tragic outcome and we are supporting the

family during this difficult time,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP Sgt. Brenda Gresiuk. “We had a mild October but, this week, the weather has changed and the rain is here. These darker days make it more difficult to see and be seen. Please be safe.” Gresiuk also thanked the people who were on the scene assisting the victim while emergency crews were on route. The Mounties’ traffic services division is investigating with the assistance of the Integrated Collision Analysis Reconstruction Service. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

CHILD CARE

Support for families The province has announced more funds to establish new daycares and established a Child Care Fee Reduction initiative for care providers that sign up. Meanwhile, money announced last week for Kinsight, which supports families with children who have special needs, amounts to the largest funding increase in years and is needed because of the Tri-Cities’ growing population, according to Gareth Williams, Kinsight’s director of family and children’s services. “It’s very good news,” said Williams, who explained the additional funds will mean 33 children, youths and families will receive consultant services for the first time and 25 children and youths will receive extra staffing assistance. The funds, about half ongoing and the remainder onetime-only, will go towards hiring an additional 1.5 FTE consultants, Williams said. Their job is to help families plan for child care and preschool for their children while remaining funds will ensure there is enough staffing to support kids and buy new toys and resources. “With the new staffing we won’t have any wait list,” said Williams, whose agency provides supported child development programs for 290 Tri-City families. Families that connect with Kinsight (formerly the Simon

Fraser Society for Community Living) usually do so because their infant or toddler is experiencing some developmental delays or their children may be diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Kinsight consultants help parents plan for their children’s needs. Once in child care, extra assistance is provided to the classroom while, after age 13, funds can be provided for a support worker. “The whole objective around supported child development is economic security of the family. It allows families to work,” Williams explained. The Kinsight philosophy is to provide assistance that can benefit all children in the child care setting — not just one-on-one support, in a model Williams said is inclusive, although if children need personal care because of a disability, that will be provided. With the money comes another challenge, however, and that is finding trained workers to fill the newly created posts. Like School District 43, which is struggling to find trained teachers and education assistants to fill positions for substitutes, trained support workers for child care settings are in short supply. Still, Williams hopes to fill those positions, soon. “We’re still in a recruitment lag,” he said, adding, “We’re in a tough situation at the moment.”

PORT MOODY

Advocates say beaver plan needs science

CITY OF P RT COQUITLAM

The Tri-CiTy News

Two Port Moody advocates hoping their city does right by beavers that take up residence in the city’s waterways are “cautiously optimistic” it is heading in the right direction with a management plan for the industrious creatures. Judy Taylor-Atkinson said she and husband Jim Atkinson came away from a meeting Tuesday with Port Moody’s city manager, Tim Savoie, feeling better than a week prior, when they expressed their concerns about the process the city was following to develop its plan during a public presentation to city council. Taylor-Atkinson said they were concerned the city wasn’t seeking input from a recognized beaver expert as it puts together a framework for its beaver management plan and the city would continue to regard the rodent as a nuisance creature that has to be managed. “What seems to be fading is any pretext toward acceptance of beaver as another ingredient in the wildlife urban melting pot,” Taylor-Atkinson said. The need for the city to develop a comprehensive plan for dealing with beavers came to the fore last December after a beaver kit perished as city crews tried to trap it and evict it from a den that the beaver’s family had constructed in a storm pipe in Pigeon Creek, in the Klahanie neighbourhood. In February, Port Moody council approved Coun. Meghan Lahti’s motion for the city to develop a beaver management plan so more such

The beaver family that used to live in Pigeon creek has now established a new home in Suter Brook creek. Local beaver advocate Judy Taylor-Atkinson said the creatures likely moved because of the stress and upset caused by the city’s attempts last year to evict it from their den in a storm drain pipe that resulted in the death of one of two kits. deaths wouldn’t recur. Lahti told The Tri-City News this week the city has an opportunity to be a leader amongst Lower Mainland communities dealing with beavers. “I think we’ll be the first ones to really put the beavers into focus,” she said. “I’m hoping people will look to us to see how we proceed.” But Taylor-Atkinson said she’s worried the process has become bogged down as it navigates the interests of three levels of government as well as various hatcheries, and she’s afraid the interests of the beavers will be washed away. Savoie said developing a plan for the beavers is complicated, with responsibility shared by all levels of government. But, he said, “The city is fully committed to a planning process that will bring together our environmental stakeholders.” That will happen at a meeting this month, with the plan targeted to be in place by next spring, Savoie said.

Meanwhile, the beaver family has moved on from Pigeon Creek to take up residence in nearby Suter Brook Creek, where it has constructed a new den near the public works yard and is in the process of raising a new kit that was likely born in the middle of last summer. Taylor-Atkinson said that’s later than usual, so the young beaver is smaller than it should be heading into winter. She said the adult pair likely mated later than its typical January season because of the stress caused by the city’s interference and the subsequent move and establishment of a new home. Taylor-Atkinson said because the base of knowledge surrounding beavers and the impact they have on their habitat is still growing, it’s important the city’s plan promote co-existence. “It will come around to seeing beaver as a benefit to stream systems,” she said. “That’s why it’s important to have the best science.”

Express drop nooner 4-3 The Coquitlam Express couldn’t hold onto a 3-1 lead they’d built early in the second period and lost 4-3 to the Langley Rivermen in a special BC Hockey League matinee game Wednesday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The loss leaves the Express three points behind the Chilliwack Chiefs for top position in the Mainland Division as well as the entire league. Langley opened the scoring just 50 seconds into the game when Ethan Leyh beat Express keeper Kolby Matthews with a quick snapper past his blocker. Connor Gregga got the Express back on even terms just over 11 minutes later by batting a rebound out of mid-

SOCCER

SFU Clan men stay perfect The SFU Clan men’s soccer team went into Thursday night’s match (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline) against Western Washington University in Bellingham looking to preserve their perfect record on the season. They already have the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship, and a berth in the NCAA Division II regional playoff tournament in their back pocket. The Clan extended their season-long winning streak to 16 games, against no losses and no draws, last Saturday with a 4-0 victory over Northwest Nazarene University. It was SFU’s last home game before they close out the regular campaign with two matches on the road. Coquitlam senior Michael North set up one of the two goals scored by the Clan’s Mamadi Camara while Dr. Charles Best grad Matteo Polisi netted his league-leading 18th goal of the season. Polisi, a sopho-

more, has averaged 1.13 goals a game for the Clan. He also has 10 assists for a total of 46 points. Connor Glennon scored the other goal for SFU. Port Coquitlam’s Aidan Bain earned the clean sheet in his first start of the season in the Clan’s net.

SEMIFINALS FOR WOMENS TEAM

The SFU Clan women’s team played Western Washington Thursday in the GNAC semifinals in Portland, Ore. The team went into the match off the back foot, after they closed out their regular season with a 2-0 loss to Northwest Nazarene last Saturday in Nampa, ID. The loss dropped the Clan to fourth in the GNAC, forcing them to face the Vikings who are the defending conference champions and finished top of the table after the regular season this year. Concordia and Seattle Pacific universities will play in the other semifinal. sports@tricitynews.com

Terry Fox Ravens forward Luca Manella battles a Kwantlen Park Timberwolves defender for the ball in the first half of their first round match in the Fraser Valley soccer championships, Tuesday at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. The Ravens, who are seeded second amongst 16 teams that began the tournament, won the match 8-1 and moved on to face seventh seed Tamanawis on Thursday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline). Defending provincial champions, the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils, won their match, 3-1, over Queen Elizabeth secondary and Heritage Woods Kodiaks also won, 5-0, over Sardis. The Pinetree Timberwolves lost their firstround match to Panorama Ridge, 1-0.

Tri-City Eagles keeper Emma Cochran gets set to make a save on a Vancouver Meralomas forward in their Vancouver Womens Field Hockey Association Champions Division match, last Saturday at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. The Eagles won the match, 5-0, to remain top of the table with six wins and a tie. The team plays the Burnaby Lakers at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West on Saturday.
