Long before White Pine Beach was a summer hot spot and the surrounding forested trails a hiker’s dream, Belcarra Regional Park in Port Moody was the site of the largest winter village of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Now, in what’s being de-

with the North Shore, it’s a chance to highlight its roots on this side of Burrard Inlet. “Tsleil-Waututh means ‘people of the inlet.’ It doesn’t mean the North Shore. It means ‘of the inlet,’” Tsleil-Waututh member Ernie George told The Tri-City News, pointing to

Bulging, Herniated or Worn Discs may be to Blame for Sciatica, Pain and Numbness in Legs Bulged Disc

] Did you know that over 30 million people in North America suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating

Herniated Disc Sciatica Pinched Nerves Stenosis

“For me, taking this program has been a huge success. I have my normal life back. The best part of it is to be able to say… I remember when I had a herniated disc.” — Bridget

negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This essentially creates a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is one of many treatment options available at Spinal Decompression Institute.

Class IV Therapeutic Laser The Spinal Decompression Institute utilizes a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is a nonsurgical, outpatient procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has been shown to be effective in helping patients to return to work, sports and the everyday activities of life they enjoy. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.

Who is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression? 7 out of 10 people experience low back and neck pain at some point in their lives. These types of pain are the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians and hospitals. Back and neck pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Many spinal conditions can be treated, including pain

due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

Why The Spinal Decompression Institute? The staff at the Spinal Decompression Institute has over 40 years of combined experience in treating patients suffering from back and neck problems. We offer a variety of treatment options for those dealing with back pain. We have helped thousands of people to live pain free!

NEWS IN TRI-CITIES TRI-CITY ROADS

Those darn potholes – and what Tri-Cities are doing about them Crews in Coquitlam, PoCo and PoMo are hitting the streets DIAne STRAnDbeRg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Hate potholes? Get in line. Tri-City works crews are fielding dozens of complaints from drivers about potholes and they say they’re fixing them as fast as they can. Those nasty depressions can cause vehicle damage so Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody are asking people to report them by phone, email or city apps to make sure they get taken care of as quickly as possible. “The safety of our residents is our number-one priority and so we encourage the public to let us know if they see a pothole,” Jeff Moi, Port Moody’s general manager of engineering and operations, said in an email to The TriCity News. Here’s how the pothole numbers stack up: • Coquitlam has received 65 complaints so far this year and has filled in 300, including those it found during road checks. • Port Coquitlam has repaired 150 and has received 16 calls since Jan. 1. • And Port Moody repaired 38 potholes in 2019, 16 so far this year. All cities report their crews are surveying roads for damage and repairing any potholes they find. According to Port Moody’s Moi, potholes are often filled

REPORT THOSE POTHOLES Best advice for drivers? Avoid those potholes and then report them. Here’s how: • Port Coquitlam: online at portcoquitlam.ca/report, via the PoCo Waste App or by phone at 604-927-3111. • Port Moody: Contact operations customer service at operations@portmoody.ca for response during normal business hours or call 604-469-4574, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. • Coquitlam: Call 604-927-3500 or email epw@coquitlam.ca, or connect online via a customer feedback form available at www.coquitlam.ca/contact or through the city’s app (CoquitlamConnect) by selecting the Customer Service button.

Winter’s chill has caused potholes throughout the Tri-Cities, prompting Coquitlam crews to try to keep up with the damage. When the weather was good last week, crews worked (above) to eliminate some of the dozens of potholes (top right) identified throughout the city. AbOVe: CITY Of COquITlAm phOTO; TOp RIghT: TRI-CITY neWS fIle phOTO

with temporary asphalt during bad weather as well as being repaired on an ongoing basis. Permanent repairs, however, have to wait for warm, dry weather. Sometimes, potholes need more than one repair before they are filled, especially during poor weather. “Pothole repairs are prioritized based on safety,” Moi said. “If a pothole is creating

a significant safety hazard, we’ll repair that one first. Once we’re made aware of a pothole, we’ll repair it as soon as possible during normal business hours. Some repairs may take less than 30 minutes while larger repairs may take several hours.” The combination of rainy weather and below-zero temperatures can be blamed for the problem because potholes

are created when moisture gets in between two layers of asphalt, freezes and expands, breaking up the pavement. In Port Coquitlam, these conditions have generated a “significant” number of potholes, according to Forrest Smith, the city’s director of engineering and public works. Similarly, in Coquitlam, rainy weather makes things worse.

“This is one of the key reasons we perform crack-sealing operations, because it prevents a large amount of water from being able to penetrate the surface of the asphalt to avoid these issues from developing,” Brad Lofgren, Coquitlam’s director of public works, told The Tri-City News. Highways are facing their own pothole problems and the provincial Ministry of Highways has information on its website about the issue, noting that unless negligence can be proved, damage claims aren’t payable.

WITNESSES SOUGHT AFTER 71-YEAR-OLD WOMAN STRUCK

Coquitlam RCMP are asking anyone who witnessed a pickup truck strike a woman on Nelson Street and Ridgeway Avenue Tuesday to come forward. The call for witnesses comes a day after a 71-yearold woman was struck by a GMC pickup truck as the driver tried to make a left turn at the intersection. The woman, a Coquitlam resident, was hit at about 3:45 p.m. and later left on a stretcher with serious injuries. Police said it is hoped that she will recover. The driver of the truck, an 84-year-old Coquitlam man, is cooperating with the investigation, according to an RCMP press release. “We often don’t think twice about left turns because they are so routine, but left turns are one of the most high-risk manoeuvres on the road,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. Police say there’s no evidence the man was intoxicated or that speed was a factor in the accident. Any witnesses are asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and ask for the CCIT (file 2020-4620). SHANE MACKICHAN PHOTO

BURQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT

Oakdale can speak up about city plan Public hearing set for Feb. 24 on new neighbourhood plan GARY MCKENNA gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Oakdale residents will get their chance to weigh in on a plan for their neighbourhood

during a public hearing Feb. 24 at Coquitlam city hall. The land use option before Coquitlam council includes transit-village commercial and high-density apartment residential along Como Lake Avenue and the southern portion of Clarke Road. The plan then allows medium density north of Kemsley Avenue and along the northern por-

tion of Clarke Road, followed by townhouses between Harrison and Nicola Avenue. Streets around Chapman Avenue and Gilroy Crescent would remain houses. Residents can appear in person at the public hearing, which will take place at 7 p.m. in council chambers at city hall (3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam). Written com-

ments can also be submitted to the city clerk’s office at city hall before noon Feb. 24. For more information go to coquitlam.ca/publichearing or call 604-927-3010. An update for the area was initially planned to be included in the larger Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan (BLNP), which was adopted in 2017.

But during the public consultation for the BLNP, the response from Oakdale residents were largely negative and city staff decided to move ahead with the plan without including the neighbourhood. After the BLNP was approved, residents came back to city hall seeking increases in density for their area. Last year, staff took initial

public consultation steps, which were met with more enthusiasm from area residents. “We realized during the Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan process that there was no consensus on Oakdale,” Andrew Merrill, Coquitlam’s manager of community planning, told The TriCity News last year. “They are the missing piece to the plan.”

Volunteers sought for community cop offices Staff turnover means Coquitlam RCMP is looking for helpers

VOLUNTEER INFO SESSION FEB. 27 The Coquitlam RCMP volunteer information session is Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. at Coquitlam city hall (3000 Guildford Way). The event is free but registration is required by calling 604-945-1579 or emailing coquitlam_cps@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Applications are due by March 9.

For the past six years, Manuela Noel has helped the Coquitlam RCMP with its Cell Watch and Junior Mountie Camp, carried out foot patrols and been on the front desk at the Mary Hill Road community police station in Port Coquitlam. And she has done it all free of charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets me out of the house,â&#x20AC;? Noel told The Tri-City News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always get to meet new people and help in the community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the good things that come with volunteerism.â&#x20AC;? Noel is one of about 200 volunteers who regularly assist the Mounties at the Guildford Way detachment as well as at the four community police stations with work and campaigns that Mounties canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always fully cover. But with the new year comes changes and often a loss of personnel. This year is no exception. Candice Critchlow, the manager of Port Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two community police sta-

tions, said she recently lost five former volunteers who are now in training to become full-time officers or are currently at the detachment; plus others have moved away or gave up their positions due to life changes. In a bid to boost its number of helpers, Coquitlam RCMP will host a volunteer information session next Thursday to recruit volunteers. The talk

will walk candidates through the application process and explain the roles available to them. Jackie Rothenberger, the volunteer co-ordinator at the detachment and the leader of the Tri-Cities Speed Watch and Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Crime Watch programs, said police are looking for â&#x20AC;&#x153;professional, hard-workingâ&#x20AC;? volunteers with a mature attitude. And candidates can pick any volunteer position that appeals to them and for which they are eligible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for the right fit,â&#x20AC;? Rothenberger said. Nicole Cairns, who runs the Burquitlam and Ridgeway community police offices, said volunteers range in age from 16 to 95 (Second World War veteran John (Doc) Cumbers is the oldest volunteer). Some of the longtime helpers have more than 20 years of service, including Darlene Browning at the Ridgeway office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people who only

want to do bike patrols on the trails. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got others whose pet peeve is distracted driving so we get them into Cell Watch,â&#x20AC;? Critchlow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our younger volunteers like to remove graffiti because they take pride in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are lots of opportunities available, on any day,â&#x20AC;? she said. PoCo Coun. Steve Darling, the council designate for community safety, told The TriCity News he would also like to see more outreach to have community police station volunteers recruiting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sharing tips about how to stay safe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at special events and with schools, businesses and care homes. Last year, PoCo city council purchased tents for the station volunteers to set up information booths. Meanwhile, PoCo Heritage will have a display at PoCo city hall in April to mark 25 years of community policing in the city.

Support swells for the Fox $5 bill Stiff competition to be the face of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new bill JaNIs CLeuGh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The campaign to have Port Coquitlam hero Terry Fox on the next $5 bill continues to swell. The city of Port Coquitlam now has a direct link on its website to encourage visitors to vote for the cancer research crusader, who ran the Marathon of Hope in 1980. Organizers of the Terry Fox Hometown Run are also encouraging the public to nominate Fox for the new bill to coincide with the 40th anniversary of his historic fundraising journey. According to the Bank of Canada, which is calling for entries until March 11, the names of about 300

Canadians have been put forward including Fox and: â&#x20AC;˘ B.C. artist Emily Carr; â&#x20AC;˘ First World War flying ace Billy Bishop and surgeon John McCrae, who is best known for his poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Flanders Fields;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Quebec politician RenĂŠ LĂŠvesque; â&#x20AC;˘ MĂŠtis leader Louis Riel; â&#x20AC;˘ and Laura Secord, a War of 1812 heroine. AmĂŠlie Ferron-Craig, spokesperson for the Bank of Canada, told The Tri-City News the list of nominees will be updated weekly. After the deadline, an independent advisory council will review nominations and develop a shortlist. That list will be handed to the governor of the Bank of Canada, with the finance minister tasked to make the decision on whose face will be on the new note. An announcement is set for later this year or early 2021, she said.

ENERGY & THE ENVIRONMENT

Port Moody’s Burrard Thermal is powerless. Should it fire up again? New or old technology are possibilities for the power plant

“It’s time to look to the future and how we can put the site to work for our community again in a new way.”

MaRIO BaRTEl mbartel@tricitynews.com

Rick Glumac NDP MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam

Four years after it was shut down, the future of the Burrard Thermal, a natural gas-fired power generation plant, is still igniting debate. The NDP MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam, Rick Glumac, says the 78-hectare property on Port Moody’s north shore where the mothballed facility is located would be “desirable” for innovative clean tech or clean energy companies to advance their technologies to counter climate change. But a former engineer at the plant, as well as a local environmentalist, say climate change is the very reason Burrard Thermal should be operational again. The 60-year-old plant, which supplied about 7.5% of British Columbia’s electricity, was closed in 2016 as part of a provincial strategy announced three years earlier by the then BC Liberal government to keep electricity rates low. At the time, a spokesman for the Ministry of Energy and Mines said the closure would save $14 million an-

nually by not running Burrard Thermal. It continues to provide voltage support and stability for BC Hydro’s transmission and distribution of electricity in the Lower Mainland. Martin Cavin, a former power engineer and manager at Burrard Thermal until he retired in 2013, said the growing intensity of storms and wildfires brought on by climate change make the plant’s for-

mer roles as an emergency backup and a supplemental power source to help meet peak demand more important than ever. He said with most of the Lower Mainland’s electricity supplied over high-voltage transmission lines from hydro plants hundreds of kilometres away, an ice storm or fire could quickly sever that supply even as it’s taxed more frequently by temperature extremes.

Cavin said the lack of a nearby back-up plant in Montreal led to power outages lasting up to several weeks after a series of ice storms in January 1998 brought down transmission lines and buckled towers in eastern Ontario, southern Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Even some environmentalists want Burrard Thermal to operate despite the fact it

burns a fossil fuel to produce electricity. Elaine Golds of the Burke Mountain Naturalists said people in the Lower Mainland often take their electricity supply for granted. “We have a very tenuous link,” she said, adding she would like the future of the Burrard Thermal site put to the public for consideration. Glumac said that’s just what he’s trying to accomplish. “It’s time to look to the future and how we can put the site to work for our community again in a new way,” he told The Tri-City News, adding that could be accomplished without affecting the plant’s current role. Rod MacVicar, a founder of the Mossom Creek Hatchery on Port Moody’s north shore, said Burrard Thermal’s location on the water in an urban area offers a unique opportunity to study the relationship between humans and the ocean. MacVicar said several

projects could find a home at Burrard Thermal, including a study by salmon researcher Scott Hinch that looks at the effects of warming water on Chinook salmon, ongoing work by UBC’s open water research facility, and marine biology programs at Simon Fraser University. “Our knowledge and local understanding will only come from accurate, rich and integrated ocean observations,” he said. “We will need to be able to mitigate risk to the oceans and our population.” Glumac said reactivating the property would also help restore a much-needed tax base to Port Moody. “Our community would not be losing industrial land if lands on the site were to be repurposed [to clean tech],” he said. In 2017, BC Hydro stopped paying an annual $300,000 grant in lieu of taxes to the city, which resulted in a 3.77% hit to the city’s taxpayers that year.

Topic: Condo insurance conundrum

“In Australia, all condos and homes have raised concrete floors that allows overflow water run to a low spot drain in the floor. This system... should be adopted by our building codes.”

“If... insurance companies won’t insure highrise structures because of water damage, then the whole building industry is going to have to change to mitigate the risk.”

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

W E E K LY O N L I N E P O L L

Words matter, like ‘rough marriage’ – and ‘out of touch’

Last Week t

BC Liberal leader used ‘wrong choice of words,’ indeed THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com

anguage is important and few know that better than politicians. They play with it, stretch it and use it as a sledgehammer to make a point. Sometimes, though, when dealing with sensitive issues, it’s better to use a scalpel instead of a cudgel to win an argument. The implement employed by BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson when he referred to victims of violence as “people who are in a tough marriage” was a blunt object, a misjudgment that surprised and angered many, and landed him in immediate hot water last week. Among those who criticized

Wilkinson was CoquitlamMaillardville MLA Selina Robinson, also B.C.’s housing minister, who said on Facebook she was “gobsmacked” by his choice of words. Others made direct pleas to the BC Liberal leader, including the Ending Violence Association of BC, which said in a tweet: “We beg you to get informed as domestic and sexual violence occurs upwards of 60,000 times a year in B.C. alone and deeply affects whole families.” Indeed, domestic violence is a problem that needs addressing with all seriousness and appropriate prevention and intervention. Wilkinson surely knows that and tweeted out his regret for his “wrong choice of words” not long after making his earlier comment in an interview on Red FM radio. A little bit of context here:

ANDREW WILKINSON

Wilkinson was commenting in a radio interview on the NDP government’s throne speech, which he was arguing contained little new in the way of future initiatives. When mentioning the government’s pledge to provide five days of paid leave for people leaving domestic or sexual violence, he used the term “people in

a tough marriage,” which of course is a ridiculous characterization. Still, in his zeal to downplay the throne speech, which many other commentators have also said was uninspiring, the former doctor and lawyer proved right the detractors who describe him as out of touch. Surely, Wilkinson didn’t mean what he said? Now he has the opportunity to make up for his misstep by getting on board with the idea of paid leave for people escaping domestic violence, who are often in fear as they make the transition and whose jobs may be in jeopardy if they miss work. Word choice aside, it’s sensible to support a policy that ensures that victims of domestic violence, predominately women, can make a move to find safety for themselves and their children while still being able to put food on the table.

ROAD SAFETY

Cities & COs killing bears

Unsafe road, drivers near renovated PoCo community centre

The Editor, Re. “Letter: Hey, it’s not conservation officers’ fault bears are dying” (tricitynews.com). Really? I don’t recall reading or hearing that other forces are destroying our bears. The conservation officers (COs) are the ones pulling the triggers. Rather than a meaningful relocating or retraining program that takes time, commitment and constructive beliefs, COs and the BC Conservation Officer Service take the easy path of control and management. Also, where’s a prevention program? And, as they are not accountable to anyone, hunting season remains. You want to lessen fault?

FILE PHOTO

Then consider this: • Municipalities do not enforce their own control bylaws actively or meaningfully. It’s all play to them. And I bet the developments into the surrounding mountain habitats don’t place any consideration

A15

on impacts on an area’s natural inhabitants — it’s all about money and tax revenue. Forget environmental considerations. Forget climate considerations. After all, animals don’t vote or pay taxes. • People are quite directly responsible for managing their waste and other attractants for our beasties. There are no excuses for the contrary. • As long as people aren’t concerned with the municipalities enforcing actively the bylaws and with the COs not having an active prevention and enforcement program, nothing will change. Further, the fines that currently exist are a joke and everyone knows it. There can be lots of finger

pointing when it comes to bears in the Tri-Cities. And often there is. After all, who wants to stand up and admit responsibility for killing bears? It’s always somebody else’s fault. All this said, our bears are simply trying to survive in a world not of their making. But fault the COs for the bears dying? Absolutely. Nobody else carries the weapons and destroys our bears. COs are failing society’s needs and our wildlife’s needs by their constant disregard of duty to both and their meaningless justifications for actions of destruction. Michael Sonntag, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, As a professional driver, I’ve experienced an alarming number of pedestrians and drivers who show a complete lack of safety precautions when visiting the new Port Coquitlam community centre. There is a dark, narrow road with very little parking, on a busy bus route and yet parents allow their excited kids to dart across the road wearing dark clothing. Someone is going to be killed there — not if, but when. Parents, please do not let your children jump out the car straight into the traffic. Drivers, please check for

oncoming traffic, especially buses, before throwing open your doors as there is little to no room to maneuver past an open car door. And it would be great if the municipality either limited parking opposite the community centre or put a wide pedestrian walkway between the traffic lights and installed lights to make that area more visible. Doing at least one or all of these precautions might help reduce the time before the first tragic accident happens. Chris Grindley-Ferris, Coquitlam

TRI-CITY COMMUNITY GROUPS

Kinsmen clubs are 100 years old and still serving their communities Local clubs often provide seed money for public services

“We are very engaged directly with what we can do for the community.”

GaRY MCKeNNa gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Philip Jewell Member of Coquitlam Kinsmen Club

Kinsmen club members are known for giving back to their communities through volunteer work but, this month, the organization will be taking a little time for itself. The group is celebrating its 100th birthday, recognizing the contribution the 650 chartered clubs have made in cities across Canada since Hal Rogers launched the organization, which today is known as Kin Canada, in Ontario in 1920. “We are very focused on what the community needs,” said Philip Jewell, a longtime member of the Coquitlam Kinsmen Club. “We are very engaged directly with what we can do in the community.” The Kinsmen started in Hamilton after the First World War and quickly spread across the country, growing to 150 clubs in the first 25 years. Since Coquitlam’s chapter was chartered in 1952, followed by Port Coquitlam’s in 1965, it is rare to see a community event in the Tri-Cities that does not have some Kinsmen involvement.

ambulance in Coquitlam in the 1950s (the vehicle has since been refurbished and now sits at Coquitlam Fire Hall No. 1), the first Jaws of Life for the local fire department and the first night-vision goggles for Coquitlam Search and Rescue. It was also responsible for organizing the first Terry Fox Run in the Tri-Cities. Walter Van Drimmelen, a longtime member of the Port Coquitlam Kinsmen, said a friend of Fox was a member

and pushed to bring the event to Hyde Creek in 1982. “That was phenomenal,” Van Drimmelen said during a PoCo council meeting last week, where the Kinsmen were presented with a proclamation commemorating its 100th anniversary. “I don’t think there is anything that has gone the way the Terry Fox Run has gone.” The Kinsmen have often provided seed money that has helped launch important initiatives, Jewell said. For

example, the provincial organization provided funding for a program called Technology for Living, which helped people with disabilities have better accessibility in their homes. “We put the money in initially,” Jewell said. “We supplied them some equipment and then the government said, ‘Oh yeah, that is a really good program.”

Like many service orga-

nizations, the Kinsmen has been struggling to attract new members, said Jon Kingsbury, a former Coquitlam mayor and another longtime Coquitlam Kinsmen club member. While the Tri-Cities’ clubs have strong numbers, split evenly between younger and older members, he said more effort is needed to bring in the next generation so clubs can keep doing their important work for another 100 years. “We are doing pretty good [in the Tri-Cities],” Kingsbury said. “But [the Kinsmen] have been really bad at promoting themselves. We are busy working and doing our projects. They never spent nothing on trying to recruit the next group. That is sort of

where we have to get back to now.” Both Kingsbury and Jewell said they hope that with the attention the organization is receiving around its centennial celebrations, more people may be interested in joining. Being a member is rewarding, Jewell said, noting that Kinsmen enjoy seeing their project or initiative take root in the community. And there is always more work to be done. Even the club’s 100th birthday dinner on Saturday will not be a day off for the Kinsmen, who will be collecting food donations in the afternoon before the event takes place. “Then,” Jewell said, “we will go home, get cleaned up and head out to our dinner.”

Juno nomination for Port Coquitlam music pro Worsley founded Echoplant Sound in Port Coquitlam STefaN LaBBé slabbe@tricitynews.com

A Port Coquitlam producer, engineer and songwriter has been nominated for a Juno award in the Engineer of the Year category. Ryan Worsley, founder of the PoCo studio Echoplant Sound, discovered he had been nominated for the award earlier this month after submit-

ting two samples of his work to Canada’s most prestigious music awards. “It’s super, super exciting and I’m very honoured and humbled to even be considered for this award,” said Worsley, adding, “It’s been kind of a lifelong dream to be nominated.” This is the first time Worsley has been singled out for a Juno nomination; in the past, he has ridden into Juno awards ceremonies on the backs of musicians and singers. But never has Worsley been distinguished on his own. In the 14 years since Worsley

started Echoplant in Coquitlam — the studio has since moved to a bigger commercial space in PoCo that can handle “anything less than an orchestra” — he and a small group of engineers have mostly produced rock and pop music. “It’s one of the fastest growing studios in western Canada and it can compete with pretty much any studio around,” he said. But as new sounds cut across once defined genres, so, too, has the nature of the work that goes into producing that music. In the past, an engineer’s wheelhouse was setting up the studio and in front of the

mixing console, while a producer would be in charge of overseeing a recording’s sonic footprint. These days, Worsley said technology has helped to blur the lines between those two jobs. But that has also offered Worsley a variety of roles in developing new talent. “I really like to find the artists who I think have potential and work with them from an early stage. It’s rewarding because I can help develop the band’s sound,” said Worsley. Two of those new sounds can be found in Worsley’s submissions to the Juno’s. One, Edmonton artist Nuela

Charles — a Canadian, Kenyan and Swiss musician known for blending elements of soul, jazz, hip hop and pop — recorded an album with Worsley that was nominated in 2018 for a Juno in the Adult Contemporary Album of the Year category. For this year’s nomination, Worsley also submitted an album he worked on with the Metro Vancouver group Ludic, what Worsley describes as a young, up-and-coming band that has carved out a genre of its own through a mix of jazz, funk, classic rock and pop. Worsley said he is excited

to be a part of a weekend celebrating Canadian music, especially in an age when most young people listening to music through apps like Spotify often lose touch with a band’s geographical roots and local influences. The Junos, he said, are a moment and place where the industry and music lovers can rally around and stay connected with Canadian music. The 2020 Juno awards will be held over the weekend of March 14 in Saskatoon, Sask. The Engineer of the Year award, Worsley’s category, will get announced at the gala the night before the TV broadcast.

RAIL BLOCKADES COME TO PORT COQUITLAM

Roughly 11,000 West Coast Express passengers were stranded last Thursday afternoon after a group calling itself the Red Braid Alliance for Decolonial Socialism blockaded the train tracks at Lougheed Highway and the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam as part of a nation-wide action in support of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, some members of which have recently been demonstrating against a natural gas pipeline running through its territory. Some in the group hung banners (above), while others greeted passing vehicles on the highway below (top right) under the watchful eyes of RCMP and CP Police officers (right). The PoCo blockade wrapped up Friday morning and West Coast Express and freight rail service resumed soon after. STEfAN LAbbé/THE TRi-CiTy NEwS

Tsleil-Waututh have history in PoMo continued from front page

When, in the mid-1800s, smallpox ran up the West Coast, it decimated the First Nation. The village site, now within the boundaries of Port Moody but traditionally known as t m t mix t n (pronounced Tum-tumay-wa-ton) or “the biggest place for all the people,” had its residents forcibly removed and brought to a reserve on what is now Vancouver’s North Shore. About 150 years later, the site falls within the park’s 1,100 hectares — that’s nearly triple the size of Vancouver’s Stanley Park — and has become a popular Tri-City destination that sees more than one million visitors every year. Now, through a “Cultural planning and Co-Operation Agreement” — the first of its kind for Metro Vancouver — both levels of government will work together to protect, preserve and enhance the regional park over an initial five-year period. “We recognize that there’s no better environmental and cultural stewards of the terri-

tory than the Tsleil-Waututh Nation,” said Metro Vancouver board chair Sav Dhaliwal. “With their wealth of knowledge, ancestral knowledge how to care for the land and water and air, they bring huge

expertise which we can benefit from.” Part of that will include preserving archaeological and spiritually important sites as well as educating the public on the historical ties

to the Tsleil-Waututh. How that rolls out will be up to the Tsleil-Waututh as they lead the process. Metro Vancouver manages the park and so will bear any costs associated with the agreement.

This is not the first time Metro Vancouver and the First Nation have come together on issues facing the park. Both sides have been working together on a variety of projects since 2016, including plans for a picnic area built on the old village site. George, who was recently made chief administrative officer of the nation, was one of two Tsleil-Waututh members who opened the conversation with the regional government. In an interview Tuesday with The Tri-City News, George pointed to two similar management agreements the First Nation already has in place as evidence of how this agreement could work: the 2001 Cates Park/Whey-ahWichen agreement with the District of North Vancouver; and the 2010 Say Nulth Khaw Yum/Indian Arm Provincial Park agreement with B.C. Parks. At Cates Park, the TsleilWaututh have replanted trees after major wind storms, re-established traditional canoe races and through Takaya Tours, runs the only

First Nations kayak and canoe tour business in the Lower Mainland — all examples, says George, that could be replicated and expanded upon at the Belcarra Regional Park, where Takaya already rents kayaks. Some other ideas for Belcarra include repurposing a historic house at the park into an artist-in-residence program or museum. “It’s in its initial stages. We’re going get together and start really looking at how to implement the ideas we have, understand what is possible,” said George. “We want to be able to be on the ground there.” According to Metro Vancouver, the agreement does not do away with any treaty rights or infringe upon any existing land claims. “This is something that we believe is also the foundation of other similar agreement that we will try to do to secure with the with other Coast Salish First Nations,” said Dhaliwal, adding he couldn’t speak to the existence of any other ongoing negotiations.

The MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam, Rick Glumac, is touting a provincial pilot program to introduce electric scooters and skateboards, like these ones in Berlin, Germany, to B.C. communities. But Port Moody council said it isn’t keen. VINCE JACOB/UNSPLASH e - T r a N S P O r TaT I O N

CYCLING & MOBILITY

Where can you cycle safely in Coquitlam and PoCo? To start with, these trails Cycling advocates laud completion of renewed trails MarIO BarTeL mbartel@tricitynews.com

“It’s important for people to feel comfortable [when cycling].”

Léon Lebrun Trails BC

Cyclists in the Tri-Cities are celebrating the reopening of the Sheep Paddocks Trail through Colony Farm Regional Park and a new, paved multi-use path that links Coquitlam Central SkyTrain station and Riverview Hospital. The former restores a recreational opportunity that had been closed off for years. The latter provides a new commuting option for employees at the hospital as it adds new facilities, as well as for residents who live adjacent to the sprawling property. And while the two projects aren’t officially linked, one local cycling advocate said a little imagination can help intrepid riders go a long way — and safely. Colleen MacDonald, a

Safety concerns behind some councillors’ opposition

Belcarra author who has published a comprehensive guide of safe, family-friendly cycling routes throughout Metro Vancouver and to the Fraser Valley, said the two trails can be bridged by a pleasant ride through the Riverview property. She added it’s now possible for cyclists to ride a complete circumnavigation of Port Coquitlam from Coquitlam Central and back with barely a concern about busy roadways and buzzing traffic. Léon Lebrun of Trails BC said the 1.6-km Sheep Paddocks Trail — which winds between the Coquitlam River and Lougheed Highway from Pitt River Road to Colony Farm Road — is an important link

in his group’s quest to join several networks of trails so cyclists can traverse the entirety of the Lower Mainland, from east to west without having to navigate increasingly congested roads. “It’s important for people to feel comfortable,” Lebrun said, adding it’s now nearly possible to ride from the Golden Ears Bridge in Maple Ridge to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal entirely on trails. Sheep Paddocks Trail had been closed for several years because of erosion issues and frequent flooding. The $3.4-million Metro Vancouver project to rebuild the trail on higher terrain as well as restore the riverbank and enhance wetland began

in 2017 after a lengthy delay to secure permits and permissions from the provincial government, CP Rail and BC Hydro. Lebrun said the trail’s completion is timely because the increasing popularity of gravel bikes and electricassist bicycles means more people are looking for safe, accessible alternatives to riding on busy roadways or navigating gnarly mountain biking routes. MacDonald said the 25kilometre PoCo Traboulay Trail, of which Sheep Paddocks is a component, is one of the most popular destinations in her book, Let’s Go Biking! She said its accessibility to a busy urban area; abundance and variety of scenery as it winds through woods, shoulders the Fraser, Pitt and Coquitlam rivers, and opens up to expansive mountain vistas; as well as its consistent flatness make it attractive to families and cyclists of all ages and abilities who happily share the wide path with hikers, runners and birders.

Port Moody residents won’t be getting around the city on shared electric scooters and skateboards anytime soon. At a meeting Feb. 11, city council said it didn’t have enough information about a proposed pilot program being pitched by the MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam, Rick Glumac. In a letter sent by Glumac to council, he said, “E-mobility devices have the potential to reduce congestion and transform how people move around their communities.” The former Port Moody councillor added that the pilot project will help the Ministry of Transportation modernize rules that govern roads as well as help the province meet its climate targets and make active transportation options easier and safer to use. But the city’s general

manager of engineering and operations, Jeff Moi, said the looming deadline of March 6 to apply to participate in the pilot project and the lack of staff resources means the city would have to spend up to $10,000 for a consultant to put together a proposal with no assurance from the province about how much of that money it would fund. He said there then might be additional costs to monitor the program over its three years. Coun. Meghan Lahti urged caution as e-scooters have caused problems in other communities. “I have seen these things completely littering the waterways and trails,” she said. “We would need to do our own due diligence.” Coun. Hunter Madsen agreed, saying there’s nothing preventing the city from pursuing such an initiative with a private partner on its own timeline. Mayor Rob Vagramov said he’s not opposed to escooters and e-skateboards eventually becoming a part of the city’s landscape, noting, “I have great interest in pursuing any opportunity like this.”

SETTING IT STRAIGHT

Re. “Pro-D, Valentine’s and Family days ahead” (Things-to-do Guide, The Tri-City News, Feb. 13). The referenced article referred to a School District 43 pro-D day on Feb. 14; in fact, Tri-City public schools were closed last Friday for a non-instructional day, which, according to the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, is “determined by the district due to calendar pressures.” Neither students nor teachers are at school on non-instructional days.

Flooring 101: How to make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for your lifestyle You want a new floor in your house or condo. What could be simpler? But when you begin your search you realize there is a bewildering array of choices and factors. Where do you start? When a customer walks into Exclusive Floors, they have a staff with more than 600 person-years of experience waiting to help them through the entire process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first question we usually ask is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How busy is your home?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? says general manager Trevor Boyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job to help them understand the challenges that can come up and still get them all the things they wish for.â&#x20AC;? Do you have a toddler whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning how to climb stairs or are you recently retired? On a rainy Saturday, is there a flood of young soccer players racing to get from the driveway to the fridge or a dog excitedly scrambling to greet you? What are your strataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise reduction requirements? Your answers lead to the choices that are best for you and your lifestyle. Here is Boydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flooring 101: â&#x20AC;˘ Hardwood floors: Nothing is more beautiful than real hardwood. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a natural, renewable and re-finishable option that looks great in every room and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need regular maintenance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

scratch or dent proof, you will want to avoid bathrooms and be aware of any moisture concerns in the house. â&#x20AC;˘ Laminate: A digital picture of wood, laminate can look very realistic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely scratch resistant and you can get colours not available in real wood. The traditional downside is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not water resistant and as a result, prone to discolouration and warping. However, new laminates are available now that offer water resistant warranties. â&#x20AC;˘ Vinyl: This is the fastest growing segment in flooring. People like the perception that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very strong and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry about water exposure. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, but not all vinyl floors are created equal. There are many different versions and it is important to pick the right one for you and your lifestyle. Exclusive Floors can help with that!

â&#x20AC;˘ Wall-to-wall carpet: Nothing is as soft, comfortable and warm as carpet. Typically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installed in bedrooms, basements and as a safety measure on stairs. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a myth that carpets are dirtier, however carpet contains the dust rather than letting it move around. By vacuuming once a week, you remove dust particles and allergens from the room once and for all. Wool carpets are hypo-allergenic, naturally stain resistant and 100 per cent biodegradable. â&#x20AC;˘ Tile: Typically used in bathrooms and kitchens, or as backsplash, there are three categories: natural stone, porcelain and ceramic. Tile is almost impossible to wear out. You can put it in areas that get a lot of abuse and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about scratching it or getting it wet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very customizable with unlimited design possibilities. Some peo-

ple have concerns that grout will look dirty, but with the Fusion Pro grout system that is stain proof, anti-microbial and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need sealing, your grout is protected. A design professional can walk you through Exclusive Floorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vast product offerings and you will be encouraged to take samples home before making your final choice. An Exclusive Floors professional will do an in-home assessment to address issues such as delivery accessibility, how the furniture can be moved and then your space will be measured for square footage. Following the consultation, you will receive a detailed proposal including the full scope of work involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our staff, from our design professionals to our installers are helpful, caring and kind individuals,â&#x20AC;? Boyd says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of working with a family-owned business thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the Lower Mainland for 40 years.â&#x20AC;? There are three Exclusive Floors showrooms throughout the Lower Mainland - in Abbotsford, Surrey and right here in Coquitlam. Visit Exclusive Floors at 1100 Lansdowne Drive and Trevor Boyd will be happy to start the conversation about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for your home.

OBITUARY

Former PoMo mayor Young dies A former mayor of Port Moody who helped preserve land in the city that would eventually become Inlet Park has died. Ian Young passed away in Victoria on Jan. 31. He was 81. Young was 38 years old when he was elected to the mayor’s job in 1978 after two years as an alderman. During his three-year term in the top job, he also established the city’s environmental protection committee. “He made many important contributions to the commu-

nity,” said Port Moody’s current mayor, Rob Vagramov. Away from council chambers, Young was an entrepre-

neur who operated a variety of businesses, from a travel agency to western Canada’s largest photo studio. He also

belonged to four Rotary clubs and was a volunteer tutor, helping people learning English as a second language.

Drug talk for seniors in Coq. on March 3 The North Fraser chapter of Canadian Association for Retired Persons (CARP), a national advocacy group for seniors, will host a free presentation March 3 in Coquitlam to explain the impact of the arrival of biosimilar medications in B.C. Dr. Alan Low will speak Tuesday, March 3 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Coquitlam Legion (1025 Ridgeway Avenue). Pharmacare has launched an initiative in which certain originator biologic drugs will be replaced with their biosimilar versions. This change will result in savings of nearly $100 million over three years to B.C.’s health care system, according to the province, as Pharmacare will only cover the listed biosimilar drugs. The medications involved in the B.C. switch are used for such conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes and Crohn’s disease. PharmaCare launched the first phase of the Biosimilars Initiative on May 27, 2019, with the goal of switching patients using Enbrel, Remicade and Lantus for certain indications to their biosimilar versions by Nov. 25, 2019. But the switch is not without controversy, something Health Minister Adrian Dix acknowledged during his press conference last May. Dr. Low will outline what patients need to know at the CARP talk. CARP (www.carp.ca) is a national advocacy organization for people 45+, with more than 300,000 members across Canada. Its North Fraser chapter, spanning from Burnaby to Mission West, has more than 2,000 of these members.

Carney brings Peach-y story to PoCo stage Grade 9 cast in starring role in James in the Giant Peach janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Kimberly Warner checked the “Yes” box when the drama teacher asked if she wanted to be behind the scenes rather than on stage for her school’s winter productions. And because she indicated a crew position, Warner was always hired to stage manage the plays and musicals presented by Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney regional secondary, including its big shows, 12 Angry Jurors, High School Musical and Clue. For her graduating year, however, Warner decided she wanted some of the spotlight and asked Charles Harris for a role in James and the Giant Peach, based on the classic Roald Dahl novel. “It was hard for me to let her go,” Harris said. “She’s been a good stage manager.” Warner plays Sponge in the show, which runs Feb. 26 to 29 at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam, with a cast of 40 plus 30 in the orchestra (comprised of students, alumni and musicians from the Maple Ridge Community Band). Sponge is the antagonist, one of James’ vile and selfish aunts who prompts him to escape on a large peach in search

of happiness, acceptance and familial love. The other aunt, Spiker, is portrayed by Warner’s sister, Carly, a Grade 10 student who’s also following in the theatrical footsteps of their older sister, Natalie (a 2019 Carney gradu-

ate, she played Mrs. White in last year’s production of Clue). Harris said his theatre group picked James and the Giant Peach last June because they wanted to produce a modern musical (last year’s High School Musical boasted

sold-out performances). As well, they were intrigued by the score penned by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the Oscar-winning songwriting team behind such musicals as Dear Evan Hansen, Dogfight, Edges, La La Land and The

Greatest Showman. “The music is phenomenal and not very well known,” Harris said. “It should be.” Still, while the musical was selected before the summer, the leads were not. In September, just after their

year started, Harris named his stars after the second audition round, selecting Grade 9 student James Van Der Mark to play James. Asked what qualities Van Der Mark had to take on the top gig, Harris shook his head. “When you meet him, that question gets answered within minutes. He’s just a wide-eyed, innocent boy. He’s everything that embodies the character.” Van Der Mark’s talent is remarkable, Harris told The Tri-City News last week. In 2017, the 14-year-old landed the lead role in the Christmas musical at Our Lady of Assumption, a feeder elementary school to Archbishop Carney. He also won gold at the Kiwanis Music Festival for his singing talents and, the following year, earned a scholarship to the Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! musical theatre summer camp in Vancouver. A pianist, he won a first at last year’s CDMF Performing Arts Festival. For the Carney show, Van Der Mark will have his parents, sister and vocal teacher, Lisa Kelly, in the crowd to watch his interpretation of the protagonist. “I’m a little nervous but it’s really a fun part to play,” he said. “It’s exciting.” • For tickets at $15 to James and the Giant Peach, from Feb. 26 to 29 at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam), visit acrss.bpt.me. The curtain rises at 7 p.m.

How ‘F’ words shaped Port Coquitlam history Flu, flood, fire and financial ruin detailed by PoCo Heritage janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

They marketed PoCo as the next Pittsburg. When CP Rail moved its freight operations from Vancouver to Port Coquitlam in 1911, area officials seized the opportunity and marketed PoCo across North America. After all, there was plenty of land to buy — especially for farming — and it was surrounded by mountains and water. By the time Port Coquitlam was incorporated as a municipality — on March 7, 1913 — it boasted about 1,500 residents and dozens of businesses, with CP Rail as the main employer. A year later, it had a threestorey city hall on Shaughnessy Street poised to handle the influx of property owners. But five years on, Port Coquitlam suffered such devastation that it set the munici-

pality back for decades. That series of losses is described in a new PoCo Heritage exhibit that opens Saturday with a celebration from 1 to 3 p.m. to coincide with Heritage Week. Titled Port Coquitlam’s F Words, the show is unique as

its storyline is told on panels with graphics (created by Brad Nickason with copy by Meg MacLaughlin) that hang around the display — a perfect way to draw in younger viewers, said society president Julie Schmidt during a tour last week. It is told in the voice of

Arthur Mars, who later became mayor, and starts by explaining how his brother, James, the city’s first mayor, navigated the city’s tough start. The first havoc to hit Port Coquitlam was in October 1918, just before the First World War ended, when

officers with the Siberian Expeditionary Force — on their way to Vladivostok, in Russia, to protect Allied interests — arrived by train; many of them carried the Spanish flu, a pandemic that killed about 50 million people worldwide. PoCo Heritage represents this time with a patient in bed, attended to by a nurse. The next F word arrived two years later when a fire took out the businesses along Kingsway Avenue. The 1920 blaze started at Kelly’s Hall (which doubled as the fire station) when the stove pipe in the upstairs suite — occupied at the time by the fire chief — came apart. The fire prompted council to relocate the downtown to Shaughnessy. The following year, Port Coquitlam property owners suffered yet another setback when the Coquitlam River flooded, destroying businesses on Dewdney Trunk Road. That flood scene is being recreated by Art Focus Artists Association, whose members will paint a mural at the museum over the course of the exhibit run.

And in 1923, the municipality faced financial ruin when it was sued for the fire losses. As well, because of the economic downtown, its aggressive promotion to invest in Port Coquitlam didn’t pan out. PoCo Heritage shows the 1924 assessment and collection rolls, with ledger markings of land owned by speculators from Chicago to the Queen Charlotte Islands. It also has some returned tax notices from 1915 to ’22. With so many property owners unable to pay their bills, the privately held land reverted to the city, which by then was so poor that it had to sell its fire truck to pay for municipal operations. The society presents a number of historical items such as a pot belly stove from the Westminster Junction train station and a hose used by Port Coquitlam firefighters in the 1940s There’s also an original painting by ZenyDha Nielsen reimagining the view from new city hall; it looks through a window onto an old pool hall along Shaughnessy.

If you’re a fan of diverse sounds, Evergreen Cultural Centre will hit all the right notes for music lovers this weekend. Tomorrow (Friday) at 7 p.m., the traditional songs from Ghana, in West Africa, will be performed by Adanu Habobo, a Vancouver-based group formed eight years ago by Kofi Gbolonyo and Curtis Andrews, and featuring guest musicians and dancers Awal Alhassan and Kurai Mubaiwa. Its catalogue includes the famous Ghanaian songs Atsiagbekor, Kpanlogo, Hatsiatsia and Fume Fume. The high-energy performance will contrast with Saturday’s concert at 8 p.m. by the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble (PSWE), a 45-member band that calls the Coquitlam venue home. Under the direction of David Branter, PSWE will play compositions based on the theme of outer space. And on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. comes the folk music composer and banjo player Jayme Stone, who is on a winter tour of B.C. and Alberta to promote his latest album, Folklife, as well as new songs for his experimental art-pop CD that’s due out soon.

BALL HOCKEY

Coquitlam teen is having a ball with hockey New league could help shift sport’s power westward DAN OLSON sports@tricitynews.com

Keasha Dahlstedt’s passion for hockey doesn’t end when she takes off her skates. The 16-year-old student at Dr. Charles Best secondary school, who plays for the Tri-City Predators Midget A1 team, has also been invited to join Canada’s junior national ball hockey team at the world junior championships to be played in Slovakia, June 30 to July 5. She’ll be joined by one of her teammates on the Predators, Richmond’s Jenna Proulx. Dahlstedt started playing ball hockey three years ago after she suffered a concussion playing lacrosse and was checking out other options for spring/summer sports. Last year, she was part of the first team from British Columbia to compete at the national junior under-19 girls championship that was played in Coquitlam and Burnaby. The event was dominated by teams from Ontario, which won both pools. But Team B.C. coach Paul Hundal, who is also the president of the Burnabybased Metro Ball Hockey Association, saw an opportunity.

Encouraged by how well his side performed — it finished third despite being cobbled together from players getting floor time in co-ed leagues — Hundal spearheaded the creation of the province’s first

all-female ball hockey league, which begins play in March. He said a lot of lessons were learned from that experience and fuelled his desire to see what can be accomplished if girls can develop their skills

in a comfortable, supportive situation. “If we want to be a place where we can compete [with national champion Ontario], we need this,” Hundal said. “Let’s see if we can continue

that progression and get them playing together during the year.” Dahlstedt said the idea of an all-girls league makes sense to her. “There’d be a lot more play-

ers at the same skill level,” she said. “I believe it’s going to be a real awesome opportunity.” The fledgling league is geared toward girls ages 11 to 19 from the Tri-Cities, Burnaby, New Westminster, Vancouver, Delta and Richmond. Registration is free. Hundal, who honed his coaching chops leading a variety of boys teams, said it’s all about building a base for the sport. “The opportunity here is to offer a sport for another demographic, to play a sport that currently exists for just a few now,” he said, adding younger female players on existing co-ed teams often drop out of the sport as they mature and the physical and mental approaches to playing begin diverging along gender lines. “We want to encourage and create a place where they can develop their talents.” Coquitlam’s Dahlstedt said she hopes the new league will mean more familiar faces on the national team’s bench, which is currently dominated by players from Ontario. It may even swing the sport’s power to the west coast. “[Ontario] is such a good team,” she said. “I think we were a bit blown back by that. I think having a whole girls’ league where we could have played against, we’d probably have done better.” • For more information, go to www.metroballhockey.ca.

Young Ravens roll into provincials

Slow cooked for up to 10 hours

Terry Fox upsets Riverside in first Fraser North final MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Heading into the senior girls’ high school basketball season, the Terry Fox Ravens’ coach expected a few bumps. After all, the core of Mike Carkner’s team was mostly junior players, new to the physical demands of playing against bigger, more mature players in Grades 11 and 12. Friday, the Ravens showed Carkner — and any other doubters — they have the right stuff to compete against anyone when the Port Coquitlam school upset their top-seeded PoCo rivals, the Riverside Rapids 92-89 to win the Fraser North AAAA championship. Both teams qualify for the provincial championships, which begin Feb. 26 at the Langley Events Centre. They’ll be joined by the Burnaby South Rebels, who upset Port Moody’s Heritage Woods Kodiaks 64-60 to claim the zone’s third spot at provincials. On Tuesday, though, the Kodiaks played its way in by defeating North Surrey, 11357, in a last chance qualifier. Carkner said the quality of opponents in league play — both Riverside and Heritage Woods consistently ranked in the top 10 through most of the season — brought out the best in his young players. “They are a very resilient group,” he said, adding they “enjoy the pressure of playing against the best teams on the biggest stage.” It’s also a setting not entirely unfamiliar to the Ravens as most of the players were a part of last year’s junior team that marched through its schedule

In fact, Grade 10 point guard Cerys Merton, who won the most valuable player award at the 2019 junior provincials, was bestowed the same honour at the Fraser North tournament. She was capably supported by another Grade 10 forward, Emily Sussex, who was named

to the Fraser North all-star team. Alisha Weloy, Lauren Clements and Ana Misic are also seasoned veterans of the provincial U15 team, along with Merton. Carkner said the group has also found added strength from Grade 10 teammate Karin Khuong, who was diagnosed with a rare soft-tissue childhood cancer at the start

Looking for a new home? Start here.

B.C. Budget 2020: No new relief for renters or homebuyers British Columbian renters or would-be homebuyers looking for relief will be disappointed, as the B.C. Budget announcement contained no new measures or changes to current housing policy, beyond funding already slated within its existing 10-year housing plan. In her stay-the-course budget, finance minister Carole James took the opportunity to laud the progress of the province’s Homes for BC plan, which she said was spending $1 billion a year on building new affordable homes across the province. The plan, which was promised in the NDP’s 2017 election campaign and formalized in its 2018 budget, aims to have 114,000 such homes built over one decade. The minister also took the chance to repeat a previous announcement that the B.C. government is funding an inquiry into money laundering in real estate and other sectors. James said in a statement, “Already, more than 23,000 homes for families, seniors, and individuals are complete or underway in 90 communities. Budget 2020 includes funding for new homes as well as funding for a public inquiry on money laundering. By cracking down on money laundering, stopping fraud, targeting

speculators, closing loopholes, and making renting more secure, government is working to make housing more affordable for British Columbians.” Despite rental prices increasing beyond wage growth and inflation, and home prices now creeping up again following a recent correction, there were no additional measures to help renters or would-be homebuyers. The Budget reported that the total value of home sales across the province is forecast to climb between four and six per year over the next three years, and that revenue from Property Transfer Tax is expected to increase correspondingly. In her Budget speech, James acknowledged, “The housing market is bouncing back.” However, there was some relief in the supportive housing sector, which did see new funding announced. The B.C. Budget website said, “New investments in Budget 2020 will open an additional 200 supportive homes for people and communities in need. With this new investment, government’s commitment to supportive housing now stands at 4,900 supportive housing units. In addition, two new 60-bed navigation centres — shelters with enhanced services — will open for people with complex challenges.”

Change to mortgage stress test The B.C. Budget came on the same day that the federal Liberal government made a tweak to the federal mortgage stress test, which has been widely cited as a key reason for the recent price correction in many housing markets. The qualifying rate for insured mortgages (those with less than 20 per cent down payment) will now be calculated at the weekly median five-year fixed rate from mortgage insurance applications, plus two per cent. This replaces the previous calculation, which was the Bank of Canada’s average posted interest rate, or the mortgage applicant’s contracted rate plus two per cent, whichever was the higher. The new measure, which goes into effect April 6, is set to ease the qualifying rate from some lenders from the current 5.19 per cent to 4.79 per cent. James Laird, co-founder of Ratehub.ca and president of CanWise Financial, said, “Canadians who are getting insured and insurable mortgages can expect to qualify for a little bit more than what they can today. Homebuyers who cannot currently qualify for what they want, but are close, should redo their qualifying calculations using the new stress test. This change will be welcomed by the mortgage industry and consumers.”
