Will rental regs hurt plans?

Coquitlam says no evidence of that Gary McKenna

Carly Smith (above) and her roller derby partner Lucy Croysdill have created Rolla Skate Club, a mobile roller skating rink out of a repurposed FedEx van that will be stopping at the Poirier Forum in Coquitlam to conduct classes and workshops for the next three Sundays. For more, see story on page 21.

JOBS & CASH IN SD43 school District 43 is holding a hiring fair next week to fill open jobs and find candidates for a variety of future positions; also: find out how much school trustees earned last year: page 3

Restrictive new policies on rental properties being considered by the province could stifle the construction of new units, according to a development industry association.

But at least one local city has seen no evidence of this.

The Urban Development Institute said this week it has surveyed 30 members and found that thousands of proposed units could be in jeopardy if rent and vacancy controls are put in place.

“British Columbians desperately need more rental homes,” said UDI president and CEO Anne McMullin. “This is not the time for new restrictions that could result in the cancellation of important rental home projects in communities across British Columbia.” see COST RISKS, page 10

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

SD43 looking to find next employees District job fair set for Thursday in Coquitlam

New TeACher Troubles

Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 is hiring again and new strategies are needed to get a pool of top talent.

Thursday, Nov. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m., SD43 will host a career fair with presentations and breakout sessions to attract workers for all types of jobs — from teachers to trades workers.

It’s a method SD43’s human resources department is using to generate awareness that the district, the third largest in B.C., is a good place to work, said Randy Manhas, the district’s executive director for HR, while getting a jump on new recruits for whom other districts are also clamouring.

“It’s about sharing about our district, the different types of opportunities that we have and us broadening our pool of people when jobs do come up,” said Manhas, who said attendees next week at Winslow Centre will be able to leave their contact information to receive notifications when the district has positions available in their areas of interest.

There will also be speakers and an overview of jobs and benefits of working for the district.

Job fair organizer Nadine Tambellini, the district principal for human resources, said SD43 learned from experience in hosting an information ses-

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Nadine Tambellini, district principal for human resources, is getting ready for a School District 43 job fair being held Thursday, Nov. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Winslow Centre in Coquitlam. sion for UBC students that a more in-depth session was a good way of sharing information and so a larger event was planned.

The idea is to give potential workers in all areas an understanding of the district, its mission, the community and how the hiring process works, she said. And like many other industries looking for workers, SD43 wants the best and the brightest among new recruits from colleges and universities.

The job picture has changed in recent years since a Supreme Court ruling in 2017 that reinstated the teachers’ collec-

tive agreement. Now, school districts need more teachers to meet class size and composition requirements.

As well, the number of students with identified special needs is growing, requiring more education assistants, and SD43 also needs trades people and clerical workers, too.

This year, the district hired 207 full-time equivalent teachers to meet the requirements of the new court ruling on top of regular staffing.

And while those positions were all filled, Manhas said the district needs to replenish its pool of substitute teachers and

education assistants who fill in when people are sick or on leave.

“I feel we are in better shape than we’ve been in a long time,” Manhas said.

But a bad bout of the flu could change the district’s position at any time, making a pool of substitute workers necessary and giving added urgency to the hiring fair.

Meanwhile, the local teachers’ union is lauding the district’s efforts to reach out to potential employees.

Ken Christensen, president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, said efforts to en-

More cash for sD43 trustees Another sD43 trip to China is planned for ’19 Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 trustees got a small jump in pay this year, according to financial statements released Tuesday by the board of education.

But the board chair says the policy that adjusts trustee indemnity annually on Jan. 1 based on the average pay of Coquitlam, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam city councillors — but not of councillors for the villages of Anmore and Belcarra, which SD43 also rep-

BARB HOBSON, SD43 CHAIR resents — is a fair one.

“It’s really out of our hands.

It just advances or doesn’t depending on what the cities are doing,” said Barb Hobson, a Coquitlam trustee.

Figures in the latest State-

Can this be recycled?

ment of Financial Information show trustees earned about $700 more for the 2017-’18 school year — a 1.6% increase.

Base pay for trustees was $43,236 for the year ending June 30, a third of it a tax-free expense allowance. Typically, the chair is paid an additional indemnity of 10% and the vicechair 5%, and as the position rotates with each year, pay packages for trustees can vary.

For example, Anmore/ Belcarra Trustee Kerry Palmer Isaac, who chaired the board last year, earned $47,559.91.

Total remuneration paid to elected officials was $395,612.34, with $69,632.50 in expenses, but of that, $62,725 was for a trip to China for six trustees and was reimbursed

by the Chinese government through its cultural and education arm, Hanban.

Hobson defended the practice of sending trustees to China, arguing it helps to strengthen the district’s international education program, in which foreign students pay $15,000 annually in fees to go to school in SD43.

“I know they’re valuable for the district,” she told The Tri-City News. “They bring us revenue and they increase the relationships that we have built on over the years.”

The next trip to China will be in March but Hobson didn’t know how many trustees would be going. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

“They need to do every thing they can,” he said. “We are still in a position of teacher shortage generally in the province and that’s not likely to end any some soon.”

One of the highest paid civil servants in School District 43 hasn’t worked at the board office since 2016.

Recently posted Statement of Financial Information documents show Mark Ferrari, the former secretary-treasurer, earned $171,579,65 in the school year ending June 30, 2019.

That’s the third highest salary after superintendent Patricia Gartland who earned $226,407.54 during the 2017/’18 school year, and current secretary-treasurer Chris Nicolls, who earned $174,416.13.

Ferrari hasn’t worked in the district since October 2016 but his severance package pays him until the end of this month.

Other top wage earners in School District 43, according to SOFI, were assistant superintendents Carey Chute, $165,994.77; Reno Ciolfi, $165,994.78; Rob Zambrano, $163,228.94; and Gerald Shong, $163,228.94.

Meanwhile, the number of SD43 employees making more than $100,000 a year is down slightly this past year to 154, compared to 164 in 2016/’17.

But the district shelled out about $5 million more this past year for employees making more than $75,000 a year — $115.9 million in salaries for experienced teachers, administrators and other posts, up from $110.8 million in 2016/’17. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com • @dstrandbergTC

It’s not a crisis yet, but the high cost of housing could dissuade new teachers from moving to School District 43 in the future.

At least that’s the worry of Ken Christensen, Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, president.

While he agrees SD43 is in good shape from a hiring perspective, there are challenges attracting people with qualifications for jobs such as French immersion, technology education and specialist teachers, such as counsellors.

“In specialty areas, attracting people is always a challenge,” Christensen told The Tri-City News.

And while he isn’t worried the district will lose talented teachers to other Lower Mainland districts, he said he has witnessed a bit of a brain drain to districts outside of the metro area, where housing costs are cheaper.

New teachers, whose starting salary is $48,000, have some tough choices to make if they want to be able to support themselves, Christensen said.

Some seasoned teachers are even considering a job move to more rural areas to save money, another reason the district has to recruit constantly to maintain a pool of qualified staff, he said.

“They are saying I just can’t get ahead here but if I get a job in Courtenay, I can make a life for myself.”

But the district shouldn’t worry, Christensen said. “It’s not a tsunami, by far there’s more people coming in and then going out, this is a good place to work.”

According to the Canadian Rental Housing Index, the average monthly rent and utilities in Coquitlam is $1,217, higher than the B.C. average at $1,148, so if they aren’t living with parents, new teachers just out of university will likely be sharing rental accommodations to be close to their jobs.

COQUITLAM ARCHIVES

New location means better access to Coquitlam history City archives will move to nearby library in January JaNis Cleugh

The Tri-CiTy News

For almost six years, Coquitlam’s archives department has been tucked away in a tiny, windowless room on the ground floor at city hall.

By the end of January, it will be in a much more public location — at one of the busiest intersections in the city — in a space attached to the City Centre branch of Coquitlam Public Library, a community hub that sees more than half a million visitors a year.

“We’re going from zero to 100% visibility,” archivist Emily Lonie said, looking across the road toward the Lincoln SkyTrain station and Coquitlam Centre mall.

“And it’s a rare thing for archivists to have windows where they work,” she said. “I can’t wait.”

The move to the bright office will mean 1,050 more square feet for storage of archival material that includes historical documents, images and even several hundred thousand Tri-City

JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

City of Coquitlam archivist Emily Lonie at the corner of Pinetree Way and Northern Avenue, where the archives department will move in late January. The office will be attached to the City Centre branch of Coquitlam Public Library.

News photo negatives — much of which is now safeguarded at various locations around the city due to space constraints.

The move may also generate more collaborations with the Coquitlam Public Library, she said.

And it will mean better accessibility for Coquitlam residents, students and anyone else researching the city’s history.

Drop-in times will be created and will likely result in more staff being hired to manage the resources and public requests.

Last year, the department had 158 reference requests and

20 visits. This year, it’s on track to reach 170 reference requests.

But Lonie said more people are heading to the website to glean historical information and pictures; last year, the department saw 2,700 individual visits and Lonie expects that number to grow as more data is digitized and the department becomes more prominent in the community.

To add to its visibility and to protect printed material, the windows of the new archives office will be covered with a UV film on the inside and, on the outside, with wraps of five

historical photos of Coquitlam chronicling different eras and areas.

There will be a 1912 image of Brunette Avenue in Maillardville; Fraser Mills (once the largest sawmill in the British Empire) in the 1930s; a Columbian newspaper picture of Minnekhada Regional Park in the 1980s, with its prized horses; an aerial photo of Coquitlam Town Centre as the destination park was being constructed in the 1980s; and, above the entrance, a picnic at Booth Farm, the family gathering place for Coquitlam pioneers after the turn of the 20th century.

To ready for the relocation, the archives department at city hall will close after Dec. 3; a grand re-opening is planned for late January in the new digs.

Lonie said it’ll be a relief to have all the city’s archival publications in one spot.

“Now, we don’t have to go around digging for something and having to make people wait,” she said, adding, “We felt this was an appropriate location to serve the public and city hall staff’s needs. This was a space that we could easily retrofit within our budget and was available immediately. This is a great next step for us.”

PARKS & RECREATION

Expanded festival lawn slated for Town Centre Coquitlam BMX riders will have to find a new home GranT GranGEr The Tri-CiTy News

Undulating hills and paths spawning spectacular bike tricks in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park will soon be leveled to make way for grass.

On Monday, city council approved the $1.4-million first phase of its festival lawn project which will see the existing BMX park replaced with grass. The site will be connected to the TD Community Plaza and is intended to provide increased open space for festivals and other events.

Work on the first phase — which includes water lines, irrigation, drainage and laying down of sod — is expected to start in January and be completed by June in time for the summer event season, including the B.C. Highland Games on June 15.

A report to council said city staff has monitored the BMX site and determined it is sparsely used and no longer considered desirable for a “major destination park.” However, the city will

MAJOR ROAD NETWORK EXPANSION? Two additions involving four roads have been nominated

by Coquitlam to be added to the province’s major road network.

As part of TransLink’s 10-year vision, an additional 10% is being budgeted to be added to the network and Metro Vancouver communities are making requests to be included. Coquitlam wants to add Pinetree Way from Guildford Way to David Avenue and then continuing on David from Pinetree to Pipeline Road. The other thoroughfare would include Como Lake Avenue from Lougheed Highway to Westwood Street as well as Westwood from Como Lake to Kingsway Avenue.

Transportation manager Dan Mooney said Coquitlam’s wish list was much longer, but after consulting with neighbouring communities decided it would be better for future inclusion. He noted New Westminster was in favour of United Boulevard being nominated, but thought it might be better to wait until details around upgrading the Brunette interchange are determined.

Mooney added that Coquitlam has expressed its desire to TransLink for further expansion to the road network.

Coun. Trish Mandewo disagreed with the staff report saying the BMX site is heavily

used by kids, including her daughter.

The $1.3-million second phase includes a building containing washrooms, storage and a servery (small concession), as well as a festival plaza. The city plans to complete that phase in time for the 2019 Lights at Lafarge winter display. see EXPANSION, page 8

TRI-CITIES HOUSING

Cost risks an issue: mayor continued from front page

According to UDI’s report, the 30 respondents that participated in the survey have 65 projects representing 19,972 rental units currently in development across British Columbia. Of that total, UDI states that 12,631 units could be at risk if more restrictive rules are put in place.

In the Tri-Cities, the survey found that 2,010 of the 2,251 units (89%) being built by survey respondents in eight projects could be in jeopardy.

But Jim McIntyre, the city of Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, said so far his department has not seen any signs that developers are rethinking rental projects in the municipality.

“We haven’t had applicants contacting us,” he said.

He noted that many of the rental units under development are tied to larger strata projects. For example, a 49-storey highrise at Como Lake Avenue and Clarke Road was approved by council last year with the understanding that a 15-storey purpose-built rental building would be included as a component of the project.

“Most of these are units embedded within a larger project specifically slated for rental,” McIntyre said. “It kind of goes part and parcel.”

The number of actual units in the various application stages of development in Coquitlam

KING ALBERT GREENWAY OPEN HOUSE Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh in on the King Albert Greenway project during an open house next Tuesday. The city is looking at creating a multi-modal corridor featuring improved sidewalks, a bridge over Como Creek, curb extensions and landscape improvements on a route between Gatensbury and Hillcrest streets. The open house will take place at the Coquitlam Public Library, 575 Poirier St., between 4 and 8 p.m. Nov. 27. Info: coquitlam.ca/kingalbert. is significantly higher than the figures put forward in the UDI survey, he added. As of Aug. 31, for example, Coquitlam had 4,230 market rental units and 946 below-market either in preapplication, the permit stage or under construction.

“We have seen a huge takeup in market rental,” McIntyre said. “It is encouraging that a combination of market forces and developers have seen this as a promising area.”

UDI’s survey comes as the province’s Rental Housing Task Force is expected to put forward new recommendations around rental housing policy later this month. The committee has already made an early recommendation calling for changing the allowable rent increases in the province from inflation plus 2% (an estimated 4.5% increase in 2019) to inflation only (an estimated 2.5% for 2019).

It has been reported the task force is also considering tying rents to units, meaning landlords could not raise rates beyond the allowable increase

after a tenant moves out.

If the policy changes are implemented, it will have an impact on the amount of purpose-built rental being constructed in the region, according to Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart.

He told The Tri-City News that while projects already under construction will likely go ahead, developers considering acquiring land for future rental construction may be reticent to move forward. Most developments require financing, he said, noting that banks will take an objective view of whether a project is financially viable.

“If the project doesn’t work because of the risks involved, it is much more likely to be on the rental side than on the parts that would be for sale,” he said.

Stewart added that he would not be surprised if some applicants with projects in stream brought them back to the city for revisions if rental rules are changed.

Have someone on your Christmas list who’s impossible to buy for, has it all or “doesn’t need anything?” The Winter Artisan Market in Port Coquitlam will have plenty in store for holiday shoppers searching for unique gifts.

For the third year, the city of PoCo will fill Leigh Square Community Arts Village with vendors selling handmade jewellery, pottery, wood crafts, textiles and prepared foods and drinks.

Organized by Julia Zado and Tabitha McLoughlin, who will also run the Coquitlam Christmas Craft Fair next weekend at the Poirier Forum, the market opens tonight (Friday) and includes a performance by the Felice Choir at 4 p.m. plus gingerbread decorating and a Terry Fox Library story time.

Saturday, the market reopens at 10 a.m. with more shopping in The Outlet and the Gathering Place — and in a tent in between — with food trucks serving in the parking lot, a PoCo Heritage bake sale, Santa photos (by donation), face painting and entertainment from the Scrooge Horns at 1 p.m., Silver Chord Choir at 2:15 p.m. and the Beauty Shop Dolls at 3 p.m.

And in the afternoon, the Downtown Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association will keep revellers warm with free hot cocoa.

JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Pottery made by Port Coquitlam resident Laura Giesbrecht (second from left) will be sold at the third annual Winter Artisan Market at Leigh Square Community Arts Village Friday and Saturday. The market is organized by the city, under the guidance of Carrie Nimmo (left), cultural development and community services manager, as well as Julia Zado and Tabitha McLoughlin.

Zado and McLoughlin said they sifted through 100 applications from Lower Mainland vendors and selected 41 producers and suppliers for the market.

“We were looking for variety and quality,” Zado said, adding, “I think it’s different from other markets because the emphasis is really on local.”

Potter Laura Giesbrecht, who grew up in downtown PoCo and is a past artist-in-residence for the city, has taken part in each Winter Artisan Market since it started in 2016. A potter for 12 years under the brand Sister Earth Clay Works, she said she takes part because “it’s local and I’m local. It gives me a chance to connect with buyers

JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS This year’s event, the An ornament on a tree decolaunch of which coincides rated by Kwikwetlem First with the city’s Lighting of Nation.

Leigh Square and the Winter Artisan Market Saturday, will see 58 entries, including 10 new submissions from businesses and community groups.

Among those taking part for the first time are the Kwikwetlem First Nation, which has festooned its entry with handmade dream catchers and recycled leather trinkets (the tree is located in PoCo Heritage); and PoCo Euro-Rite FC, whose tree in the Gathering Place is adorned with paper soccer balls with players’ names and the reasons they love the sport.

Wednesday, members of PoCo Genealogy dressed up their tree in the PoCo Heritage museum with the theme “They Came By Ship,” honouring the Port Coquitlam pioneers who sailed to Canada from Britain around the turn of the 20th century; they added postcards with the images and ships’ names and placed parcels — wrapped in brown paper — at the base of their tree.

About half of the festival trees are located in PoCo Heritage, the Gathering Place (in Leigh Square Community Arts Village), city hall, Terry Fox Library and Hyde Creek recreation centre while the rest are dotted around town in store fronts.

Meanwhile, residents can vote on their favourite tree and the People’s Choice prize will be awarded Jan. 5. A jury made up of members of the Coquitlam and Port Moody heritage societies, will also hand out accolades for their best.

Festival proceeds will go into the PoCo Heritage operations.

The sixth annual event is sponsored in part by The Tri-City News.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Size matters

Is the traditional single-family home on the way out in Coquitlam? That’s unlikely but it may have to be so future generations can live here in ground-level housing.

The city had hoped to get more applications for duplex, triplex and fourplex developments in southwest Coquitlam as a result of its Housing Choices program. but there has been little uptake by developers. Instead, the city is receiving applications to subdivide into two lots for the standard two-home redevelopment.

Having people live in a home with an adjoining wall is a tougher sell, it seems. but what can be done to create more affordable multi-home projects so the next generation can afford to live in the city? one idea is to limit the size of homes in the southwest area of the city, where the Housing Choice program is being encouraged. another is to pre-zone areas that would fast-track some of these projects.

Whatever is chosen will take care and consideration. but if the outcome is more affordable ground level housing — the socalled missing middle — then we are all for it.

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

Do you support limiting house sizes in some areas to promote more multiple housing units?

last week’s question:

Do you support a $10-a-Day Daycare plan for British columBia?

last week: YES 47% / NO 53%

Are we too dumb to understand electoral reform?

Y ou know that style of infomercial where some hapless fool completely fails to accomplish an everyday task that no normal person would ever struggle with?

Someone is cooking a turkey but they can’t find anywhere to put down the meat thermometer so they end up resting it on the side of the counter, but then it flips off the side of the counter and they try to catch it and they burn their hand and now the thermometer is flying ANDY PREST across the room.

Look out, Grandpa! Oh no! Meat thermometer in the eyeball!

Those commercials are hilarious and a little sad because they portray humans as the most useless species.

I’m bringing this up because one of the main arguments used by the No side of the b.C. electoral reform debate is basically one of those infomercials running on a loop. We can’t have proportional representation — it’s too confusing! Ranked ballots?

Transferrable votes? We’re not smart enough for that!

get lead poisoning and drop dead. Then they’ll revive us in the ambulance but we’ll discover to our horror that the MLa we voted in is a talking hedgehog and our new premier is a wilted rhododendron. voting is hard!

In an op-ed that appeared in this paper, the CEo of the bC Chamber of Commerce argued that with the referendum question, “voters have basically been handed a ballot written in code.”

Point No. 1 on the website for No side reasons that “the system for calculating winners is so complex that a confusing algorithm chooses MLas for us.” Wow, this all sounds impossible! but is it? Is it really that confusing? Sure, when you open the referendum ballot, you are greeted with something that many people in the social media age don’t encounter all too often: a piece of paper filled with words — non-emoji words, with not a single LoL. but then you read those words and string them together into sentences and then paragraphs, and at the end of a few minutes you understand what is going on. It’s really not that hard. and for those who do struggle to understand what they are reading, you can go online to the Elections bC referendum page and easily find a video that neatly explains the questions being asked.

That’s why the insinuation that this is all far too complicated for us is so irksome. dozens of countries use PR in national elections. are we saying that faroe Islanders, burkina fasoans and Luxembourgers

are smart enough to sort through PR questions but we aren’t?

We’re plenty smart. and it seems that the insinuation that we’re not smart enough is disingenuous scaremongering rather than actual concern about the process.

What should happen here is the removal of all the scare tactics to get to the basic question: What kind of democracy do voters want?

There is no perfect system, so we all have to decide which one — flaws and all — we want the most.

With the current first-past-the-post system, which tends to elect majorities, the major decisions are made within political party conventions and then presented to voters. With PR, which is less likely to produce a majority, the path the province takes is more likely to be a compromise negotiated between parties.

So for all of you out there with that referendum ballot still sitting in your to-do box — and you surely outnumber the keeners who have already sent in their ballots — know that you are smart enough to puzzle this one out. I believe in you!

Grab your black pen, fill in your circles and pop that ballot into the weird privacy paper thingy and then the envelope and then the other envelope and then a mailbox. It’s really not that hard. and then you can celebrate with a nice glass of b.C. wine. Grab the bottle opener — and don’t forget the safety glasses! aprest@nsnews.com • @Sports_Andy

CHILD CARE

Cities should take advantage of provincial child care money The Editor, Re. “$10 pilot at 3 local spots” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 14).

It’s great to see that child care is starting to get more affordable for families, with new funding from the provincial and federal governments to lower parent fees and raise educator wages.

Now, we need more spaces. I hope all new and returning TriCities elected officials will work promptly with the provincial government to access funding to support the creation of more licensed child care spaces.

Lynell Anderson, Coquitlam

COMMENTS FROM TRI-CITY NEWS READERS USING DISQUS COMMENTING AT TRICITYNEWS.COM

“Until more of our elected representatives come to understand the important role that the urban forest plays in our community and recognize the value of trees as ‘green infrastructure,’ retention of healthy, mature trees will always be at risk.”

NANCY FURNESS ON A LETTER TO THE EDITOR ABOUT TREES BEING CUT AT BLUE MOUNTAIN PARK

“This and the Halloween light display are two of the nicest things that the City of Coquitlam does.”

STILL A PROBLEM

The Editor, My family and I would like to thank the B.C. government for making great progress to make child care more affordable and improve the wages of early childhood educators.

I want to encourage the province to continue moving forward positively.

The issue of accessibility to licensed child care is still a problem.

OuR READERS SPEAK ONLINE

ISTOCK PHOTO

Daycare funding is available from Victoria and communities need to use it, say the letter writers.

Only 18% of children in B.C. have access to it, waiting lists are years long and often families are left with no other choice but to use unlicensed options.

I urgently ask my local elected officials to please apply

to B.C.’s new provincial grants aimed at creating more licensed child care spaces.

Local government and school districts should make public land available for modular buildings to help quickly create

new quality child care programs.

I expect my local elected officials to work closely with the provincial government to create more licensed quality child care programs in my community.

Dog waste receptacles coming to Coq. parks?

Our Annual Christmas Gift Catalog is Here!

Pick up your copy at our store in Vancouver.

Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam is considering creating a dog waste diversion program similar to ones implemented by Metro Vancouver and its Tri-City neighbours.

Coun. Craig Hodge, a Metro Vancouver director, said a number of communities have dedicated dog waste receptacles in parks and on trails to avoid owners placing their pet’s waste in a plastic bag and then putting it into public garbage containers. Mayor Richard Stewart, who is also a Metro director, noted dog waste is actually prohibited from being in the garbage stream or even the green stream (organic waste or yard waste).

Hodge said a contractor collects the waste from the dedicated receptacles and takes it to a sewage treatment plant where the plastic bags are cut open and the contents dumped out.

“There is a solution, but I’m not sure what Coquitlam

SETTING IT STRAIGHT

Re. “Traffic concerns for North Road project” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 21).

The referenced story erroneously reported that $59 million would be generated for affordable housing as part of a fivetower development on North Road. The money is actually density bonus funds, which are applied towards the provision of amenities deemed by the city to have public benefit.

Coquitlam council is considering a dog-waste diversion program. does in that regard because we are not part of that program,” Hodge said.

Coun. Chris Wilson called on staff to look at the feasibility of a program for Coquitlam.

“It just seems like the responsible thing to do and some of our neighbours [Port Coquitlam and Port Moody] are doing,” said Wilson.

Parks manager Raul Allueva said the city might look at it as part of its dog off-leash strategy.

“If that waste percentage [in garbage receptacles] gets high with dog waste then there’s a problem,” said Allueva, noting the Metro Vancouver program is “very costly” but promised an update in the next few months.

SOMETHING FISHY IN POCO

The 19th annual Hyde Creek Salmon Festival was held last Sunday in Port Coquitlam at the Hyde Creek Hatchery and nearby Hyde Creek rec centre. There were hands-on displays where children and adults could get up-close with live salmon and even, thanks the Orphaned Wildlife Society, an eagle. As well, there was entertainment, including performances by the Cutie Circle ukulele group. Hyde Creek Watershed Society, which operates the hatchery, is always looking for volunteers to assist with programs and operations. The group is made up of volunteers of all ages who donate time that will fit their schedules — a few hours a month would benefit this group. If you have an interest in helping, email hydecreek.info@gmail.com. More info: www.hydecreek.org.

Abatement extension requested by Anmore MArio BArtel The Tri-CiTy News

The village of Anmore wants a deadline imposed by the Ministry of Environment to prepare a waste management plan for all its liquid waste by next Friday extended if a pollution abatement order issued to the village last August to help resolve ongoing septic issues at the Anmore Green Estates strata complex is not rescinded.

In a letter sent Wednesday to Environment Minister George Heyman, Anmore Mayor John McEwen said it’s “unreasonable and unrealistic” for the village to create such a plan, which would require public consultation, in three and a half months.

He said the village, whose homes are all on septic systems, has been frustrated by a lack of communication from the ministry regarding council’s requests last summer for further information to help it resolve the problem.

“We received a two-page brush-off from the ministry on Oct. 31, 2018 — three and a half months after our request,” McEwen said.

The ministry issued the abatement order Aug. 16; it

JOHN MCEWEN requires Anmore to develop a plan for managing all its liquid waste following a review by an independent engineer concluded the aging septic system servicing the 51-unit Anmore Green strata couldn’t be repaired after it leaked water contaminated with E. coli and fecal coliform onto the property of neighbouring Eagle Mountain middle school last fall.

Heyman said at the time the ministry was taking the action because “the village has taken no significant actions to prevent or mitigate the risk of further pollution to the grounds of Eagle Mountain middle school.”

A hillside field adjacent to the school has been cordoned off by heavy blue steel fenc-

ing erected last December by the Anmore Green strata in response to a pollution abatement order it received a year ago when the contamination was detected during routine testing at several sites along the base of the hill. The order obligated the strata to mitigate risks to public health while it worked on a solution to the leaks.

Subsequent engineering reports recommended Anmore Green be connected to Port Moody’s municipal sewer system, just 60 metres away, as the only viable solution to ensure no further leaks.

At a special meeting Nov. 6, Anmore council passed a resolution to begin negotiations with various agencies, including the city of Port Moody and Metro Vancouver, to facilitate such a connection, prompting its request to the ministry to cancel its pollution abatement order.

McEwen said those negotiations will cease if the order isn’t cancelled or the deadline extended.

Failure to comply with a pollution abatement order can result in a fine of up to $300,000 or six months in jail or both, as well as an administrative penalty of up to $40,000.

Carly Smith outfitted an old FedEx van with custom racks to hold the 120 pairs of vintage Dominion roller skates as well as protective helmets and pads to create the Rolla Skate Club. Their mobile roller skating rink will be alighting at the Poirier Forum in Coquitlam for the next three Sundays.

RECREATION

Roller revival wheeling into Poirier Forum MaRio BaRtel The Tri-CiTy News

Changing recreational tastes and rising real estate values drove many Lower Mainland roller rinks out of business long ago.

A pair of Vancouver women on wheels are trying to drive them back.

Carla Smith and Lucy Croysdill are the proprietors of Rolla Skate Club, a colourfullypainted former FedEx truck that’s filled with 120 pairs of vintage Dominion roller skates from the 1980s, protective pads and helmets that they drive around to pop-up rollerskating events, parties and weddings.

And for the next three Sundays, they’ll be pulling up to the Poirier Forum in Coquitlam to conduct learn-to-skate classes, roller workouts and even workshops in roller derby, the rock-em, sock-em version of the sport that’s enjoying a revival as a vehicle for female empowerment.

That’s where Smith and Croysdill come from.

They’re veteran skaters with the Terminal City Rollergirls, a flat-track women’s roller derby league that formed in Vancouver in 2006 and calls the Poirier Forum its training home in the winter months — in summer, they move to dry curling rings for competitive matches.

Smith, whose roller derby persona is Booty Quake, said the expansive polished concrete floor of the Poirier Forum is the perfect surface for the soft, polyurethane wheels of contemporary roller skates.

It’s also a rare find in the Lower Mainland, since the old Stardust roller rink in Surrey was closed last summer to make way for redevelopment of the property into a condo tower.

Smith said she and Croysdill had been casting about for a way to bring the transformative power of their roller derby

experience to the masses when a serendipitous opportunity presented itself; a stockpile of skates had been discovered in the basement of a Hope community centre and the town was selling them for a good price.

The women bought the lot, then spent more money fixing up the skates with new wheels and trucks.

They also acquired the panel truck and had it outfitted with racks to hold the skates and other associated equipment.

Smith said they had everything for a rolling roller rink but the rink itself.

Since last May, they’ve been based at Beaumont Studios in east Vancouver, conducting weekly classes and workshops amidst the artists’ studios and gallery at the multifunctional venue. They also offer a fitness workout on roller skates at a yoga studio.

Smith said social media is a driving force in reviving interest in the sport, especially in the suburbs. The skates, with their colourful wheels and neon laces, “look really cool and fresh,” she said, perfect photo fodder for Likes and Shares on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. They also provide a low-impact workout that’s easy on the joints and a lot of fun.

“It’s got this natural groove to it,” Smith said. “You get that cool roll and bounce, you get the wind in your hair. It’s like you’re flying.”

At their first session at the Forum last Sunday, Smith said participants ranged from a mother-daughter duo to teens to hipsters and middle-aged skaters.

“People are just smiling,” Smith said. “There’s a feeling of freedom.”

Two Coquitlam teens will receive their silver level Duke of Edinburgh awards tomorrow (Saturday) from B.C.’s Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin.

Kesley Rana and Tony Wuyue Sun will be presented with the accolades at a ceremony in Burnaby along with 37 other recipients. “Youth who achieve the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award demonstrate significant ability and commitment. Participating youth don’t work towards a cash prize but rather the intrinsic value of challenging themselves by setting goals and then achieving them,” said executive director of the BC & Yukon division Sushil Saini in a news release.

To earn the silver level, achievers must complete the four sections of the program: service to community, development of a skill, physical recreation and an adventurous journey in nature.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Bee-ware of honey that hurts our bees LIVING GREEN

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO Previously, I have written to encourage those who like to garden to incorporate pollinator-friendly native plants into their planting palette to help these life-giving insects have access to a greater variety of nectar and pollen resources over more months of the growing season. Not surprisingly, there is more we can do, including: • Support ethical beekeeping. Find out which products are looking out for their bees — which ones allow their bees to overwinter naturally with their own honey, in addition to ensuring hives are not harvested until after their first year of development. It’s time we share more honey with the honeybees that make it.

• Bee-ware of “Made in Canada” products on grocery store shelves. Many labels may only have a drop of Canadian honey in them (comprising predominantly cheaper foreign product). Know your beekeeper, shop locally (e.g., farmers’ market) and do your homework. Ask specific questions.

• Support native wild pollinators. Provide habitat for the native mason bee and some of our 46 North American bumblebee species. See www.bumblebee.org/nestbox_plans.

• Sign this petition: davidsuzuki.org/action/canadamust-ban-neonics-now.

• Let others know. Unless we ask wise questions and share important information, unethical beekeeping will continue. With a changing climate — more intense storms, unpredictable droughts and smoke-filled summers — together with the very real threat of colony collapse disorder, our bees need our active support more than ever.

MELISSA CHAUN

M

any of us love the goodness of honey but did you know that not all beekeepers love their bees?

Recently, I was purchasing raw (unpasteurized) local honey from Vancouver’s Weigh to Go Bulk Foods. As he was ringing up my items, I told the shopkeeper that I had just learned from a beekeeper at the farmers’ market how incredibly stressful it is for commercialized bees to be transported from farm-to-farm, rented for their pollinating power. He not only vehemently agreed but went on to share that there are beekeepers who deplete their beehives entirely of their hard-earned honey, only to be given highfructose corn syrup (HFCS) to survive the harsh winter season.

I was horrified.

Responsible for much of the commercial crop pollination in North America, the non-native western honeybee is a generalist, pollinating any crop and

returning to their hives with a high rate of efficiency. For decades now, commercial beekeepers have their hives travel extensive miles to provide this service. (Our native bumblebees, however, are efficient pollinators themselves.)

As you may have heard, colony collapse disorder is a very real threat. Honeybees are failing to return to the hives once released — they simply disappear. The causes may be manifold; in addition to the widespread use of highly toxic neonic pesticides, fungal infection, parasites, bacterial or viral infections may all play a part due to the over-commercialized treatment of honeybees.

To have any chance of getting

through the winter, bees need honey — lots of honey — according to perfectbee.com. The amount of honey required varies considerably, from 50 to 150 lb., depending on the severity of the winter. Since the 1970s, however, apiarists have been feeding highfructose corn syrup (HFCS) to their colonies as a cheap food substitute in exchange for depriving their hives of nutritious honey. (Similar to the way we prevent our dairy cows from feeding their offspring.)

The literature now indicates that HFCS weakens honeybees’ defences. Tragically, the bees need all the help they can get in order to survive our modern onslaught of neonic pesticides and toxic air pollutants.

Their fuzzy legs literally act like dust mops so, when honeybees collect nectar from flowers, they also gather pollen and a substance called propolis, used to make their waxy honeycombs. Pollen and propolis contain three compounds that University of Illinois entomologists discovered can help the bees detoxify their cells and protect against pesticides and parasites.

Researchers have shown that bees fed HFCS fail to activate their immune (anti-infection) genes as well as the enzymes needed to break down pesticides compared with bees allowed to feed on their own honey. Moreover, the bee bread given to baby bees is unique.

Any substitute may affect bee development.

The bees are also likely suffering from being forced to pollinate vast numbers of the same plant (mono-cultured crops), instead of being able to pollinate many different plants,

as they would in a natural environment.

FIELD HOCKEY

d’Andrade headed to first World Cup PoCo player finds success with national team DAN OLSON

BURNABY NOW

It’s been a busy year for Port Coquitlam’s Adrien d’Andrade.

As the 27-year-old defender for Canada’s national field hockey team embarks for Bhubaneswar, India, where the sport’s World Cup is being played beginning Nov. 28, he hopes it will also be his best year.

Already, d’Andrade has doubled his international cap total with the Canadian national team. He also bought a home and he and his fiancée got married.

It’s been a big payoff so far for the work he’s been putting in since he first climbed to field hockey’s national stage in 2012.

“It’s been a long time. I made the jump from the junior to senior team in 2012, but from there it’s been a bit of a struggle,” the Dr. Charles Best secondary grad said of his slowly-evolving international career that earned him action in just four games in his first four years. “I’ve always been in the mix but never really cracked the starting lineup or got into the group of 16 or 18 who go on tour. There was a lot of training and a lot of work put in and very difficult in not seeing a lot of reward.”

But that changed last summer, when d’Andrade drew into the starting lineup against a Pakistan A national team and China during a 10-game series in the Lower Mainland in what was a huge opportunity after years of pushing for a role as part of the senior men’s development squad.

Canada came away with an 8-1-1 record over the 17-day schedule, out-scoring Pakistan

DUNCAN JOHNSTON PHOTO

Port Coquitlam’s Adrien d’Andrade, in action for Canada’s national men’s field hockey team during a series of friendly matches last summer against teams from Pakistan and China.

24-1 and China 16-8.

“It went really well. We had some good results while the teams were here with 10 games, and having home games was a rarity for us,” d’Andrade said. “The overall experience was good. I’ve been playing with the team for a long time but not getting a ton

of game experience, so it was nice to get a consistent grouping of games under my belt in a short period of time.”

Having picked up the game at the age of 10, d’Andrade has patiently pushed his skills to the max, putting in the hours to garner playing time with the men’s team.

But during the previous Olympic cycle, 2013 to ’16 in Rio, veteran players naturally recommitted to the program for one more shot at competing at the Olympic stage. Since then, however, a few spots opened up and d’Andrade has made the most of his chances.

Last year, he was part of the

Canadian men’s national indoor team, and the lone player from outside of Ontario that was selected to compete at the indoor Pan Am Cup. This year, the focus is on the World Cup where Canada will open the tournament next Wednesday with a match against Belgium. It will lead to the Olympic qualifiers in the new year, as the Canadians look to advance to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

While he works towards that goal, d’Andrade is helping grow the game at the grassroots. He’s been the president of the Burnaby Lake field hockey club for three years.

He also spreads the faith as a coach, both at the club level and with the provincial team.

It’s one way of giving back while sharing his passion for the sport.

“I love the sport. I do a lot of coaching and giving back to the kids because, realistically, it was the coaches in my life growing up that got me to where I am today,” he said. “I know coaches can have an impact outside of sport and that’s something I really enjoy.”

With a chance to represent his country, d’Andrade is ready to make the most of it. The game has played a big role in his life and he doesn’t see that changing anytime soon.

“It’s really what I love to do.

We talk about it a lot on the team. It can be sacrifice, but we like to call them choices and we really do choose to play over doing other things. It’s something all the guys love, and I’m no different.”

• Canada is ranked 11th in the world heading into the 14th edition of the international tournament. The highest the Canadian team has ever finished in the World Cup is eighth, in 1998.

The team last qualified for the 16-team tournament in 2010, when it placed 10th.

EXPRESS SUNK AGAIN

The Coquitlam Express will try again to win its 16th game of the season when the Penticton Vees visit the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m.

The BC Hockey League team has already had four unsuccessful cracks at the milestone. The latest was a 7-5 loss Tuesday to the Langley Rivermen at the George Preston Arena in Langley.

The setback left the Express just four points ahead of the Rivermen for third place in the Mainland Division.

Langley has a game in hand.

Coquitlam took a 5-3 lead into the third period and had already chased the home team’s goalie, Braedon Fleming, from the Rivermen’s net after Danny Pearson put two goals past him in 24 seconds in the second period.

But a pair of shorthanded goals a minute apart by Langley’s William Stromp and Ethan Leyh as their teammate Trevor Ayre served a minor penalty for slashing got the Rivermen back on even terms 6:02 into the final frame. Leyh’s goal was his third of the game.

Devin Leduc’s sixth goal of the season proved to be the winner for Langley, who then sealed their fourth win in a row with an empty net goal by Ayre late in the game.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Coquitlam’s SparksGuest ablaze for Blues Big night for Gleneagle grad ANDY PREST

NORTH SHORE NEWS

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Archbishop Carney’s Michael Ojo battles to protect the ball from Windsor’s Victor Paganini in the first half of their opening round match at the BC Secondary Schools Soccer Association AA provincials, Monday at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. The Stars won the match, 1-0, and went on to win the silver medal in the tournament after losing to the Langley Fundamental Trojans in Wednesday’s final, 2-0. It’s the second provincial championship in a row for the Trojans.

Coquitlam’s Denver Sparks-Guest doesn’t recall flames shooting out of his fingers, but when the final buzzer sounded in the Capilano Blues’ 126-117 win over the Okanagan College Coyotes in their PacWest men’s basketball game last Saturday, he’d scorched 53 points.

The scoring barrage was the second-highest one-game total in PacWest history, behind only Ray Branch of Selkirk College who netted 56 point in a game in 1987.

Sparks-Guest, a fifth-year forward who reached the North Shore via Gleneagle secondary and Simon Fraser University, shot 20 of 29 from the field, 3 of 7 from the three-point line and he was a perfect 10 for 10 on his free throws.

“It felt like a regular game,” Sparks-Guest said

PAUL MCGRATH PHOTO

Denver Sparks-Guest in action for the Capilano Blues earlier this season. after the game. “I was just doing everything that I was supposed to do and I was hitting all my shots.”

Sparks-Guest was no doubt aided in his effort by a back-and-forth, frantic, fast-paced game between the first-place Blues and the Coyotes, a new team in the league that was in the middle of their first weekend ever of hosting PacWest basketball games.

“It was just a super energetic game,” said SparksGuest.

“There was lots and lots of energy in the gym, and we were just basically trad-

ing bucket for bucket the whole game. I honestly didn’t notice (my totals) that much until after the game.

I could see I scored a lot of points and then I looked at the scoresheet and I was like, ‘Whoa.’”

Capilano head coach Cassidy Kannemeyer echoed his star’s assessment that the points all came in the rhythm of the game.

“The team was able to get Denver the ball in high percentage situations early in the game,” he said.

The win sent the Blues into the winter break with a 5-1 record, tied for first place in the PacWest league with Vancouver Island University.

Capilano is currently ranked No. 12 in the country.

Sparks-Guest said he’s putting it all on the line in his fifth and final college year, and he’s expecting big things from the Blues in the second half of the season.

“I think the sky is the limit for us,” he said.

The Blues will be back on court for a pair of home games against Douglas College Jan. 4 and 5.
