Dying for space in Coquitlam cemetery Full burial spaces expected to run out in 3-4 years Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News
The demand for places to live in Coquitlam is growing. So is the demand for places to die as the city’s municipal cemetery is running out of room. Robinson Memorial Park Cemetery, which has been operating in southwest Coquitlam since 1935 on land donated by the Robinson family, has limited remaining interment inventory. The city is looking at ways to continue providing its services and has begun a survey to get citizens’ opinions. According to report by staff and consultants Urban

Systems delivered to council Monday, the cemetery has a limited footprint to accommodate the city’s projected population growth and aging demographic. By optimizing the use of the space, however, the report projected the cemetery could provide space for the next 20 to 30 years. Robinson inventory for full burials is expected to evaporate in three to four years, although it provides a mix of options for cremated remains. Between 2007 and 2016, Robinson averaged 48 burials and 118 cremation interments a year. “The city of Coquitlam is expected to have the need for nearly 10,400 interments in the next 25 years and over 31,300 in the next 50 years,” said the report. see r’VIEW CEMETErY, page 8

More seniors living in poverty locally Diane StranDberG Tri-CiTy News
The number of seniors living in poverty has doubled in B.C., and a high percentage of them live in Coquitlam, a new report shows. The B.C. Seniors’ Poverty Report Card is the first of its kind, produced by the Social Planning and Research
Council of BC and United Way of the Lower Mainland. The report shows Coquitlam senior poverty levels are fourth only to Surrey, Vancouver and Richmond, with 14.1% of the population or 2,630 people living under the Statistics Canada Low Income Measure (LIM).

Port Coquitlam’s chief administrative officer leaves the top city job next month with substantially more money in his pocket than when he started in 2012. John Leeburn, who will be replaced July 27 by PoCo’s engineering and public works director, Kristen Dixon, started the job six years ago with a salary of approximately $194,000. Six years later, he’ll exit with a base wage of more than $224,000. Leeburn’s hefty salary is one of 125 above $75,000 listed in 2017 statement of financial information (SOFI), a disclosure document released each June by B.C. municipalities that provide base wages, benefits, compensation and expenses to city employees and council members. The 2017 report, which shows the city payroll at $30.3 million, includes the names and salaries of more than 60 firefighters; the schedule also accounts for four severance agreements the city entered to with non-unionized workers in 2017. Leeburn’s wage of $224,123 last year was $74,210 less than that earned by his Coquitlam counterpart, Peter

Steblin, who runs a city with a population of about 135,000 — about $2.20 per person. By comparison, Leeburn’s pay figures out to $3.86 per person for PoCo’s headcount of around 58,000 while Port Moody’s CAO Tim Savoie took in $208,102 last year for his city of 33,000, or $6.30 per resident. The SOFI report, which was
set to be approved at yesterday’s city council meeting, also outlines politicians’ pay and expenses as they gear up for their re-election campaigns (the municipal and school board votes take place Oct. 20). Mayor Greg Moore, who is not running for another term, took in a total of $115,500 last year; his base pay, which
is adjusted each year to the Consumer Price Index, was $94,484 (up from $92,270 in 2016) while councillors each reaped $36,972 (up from $36,105 in 2016). As in previous years, first-time councillor Laura Dupont charged the highest amount in expenses at $8,015 while Coun. Brad West claimed the least at $3,021.
The city of Port Moody spent $22,168,354 on salaries last year, plus another $948,788 in taxable benefits, payouts and expenses, according to the city’s annual statement of financial information (SOFI), which was presented to council last week. That’s a little more than 1.5% higher than city salaries cost in 2016 when the city was on the hook for retroactive payments to its firefighters following signing of a new collective bargaining agreement. Those payments contributed to a boosting of the city’s payroll by more than 10% from 2015. City manager Tim Savoie was Port Moody’s highest paid employee last year, earning $208,102 plus taxable benefits and expenses worth $13,101. Of the 116 city employees who earned more than $75,000 in 2017, more
than half — 60 — topped $100,000 in annual salary. That’s five fewer employees than earned six figures in 2016. Mayor Mike Clay earned a base salary last year of $58,980 plus a $29,490 taxfree allowance; he claimed $8,307 in expenses, the most of anyone on council. Each councillor received a base salary of $23,448 plus a tax-free allowance of $11,449. Those figures were pro-rated for departed councillor Rick Glumac, who resigned his seat after he was elected as MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam, and his successor, Hunter Madsen. The provincial Financial Information Act requires local governments to release their spending reports by June 30 of each year. The reports include audits, debt schedules, payments for goods and services more than $25,000 as well as compensation for employees and council. mbartel@tricitynews.com

Coq. council goes for generic pay resolution City will ask the province to set council pay grant granger The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam council passed a “more generic” resolution Monday to ask the province to take from elected officials the ability to set their own pay. Coun. Teri Towner introduced a motion a couple weeks ago calling on the province and the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) to cre-

ate a provincially appointed independent commission to determine how local govern-
ment officials should be paid. But she went back to the drawing board when she met resis-
2018
tance from other councillors, who said the province should not be involved. She came up with another resolution that eliminates provincial participation to be submitted to the UBCM for discussion at its annual convention in September. The final resolution council agreed on asks the UBCM to “examine the issue of local government elected-official remuneration and establish an independent process that can assist local governments in setting fair and equitable remuneration for elected officials.” Towner said the current sys-
tem is seriously flawed and has drawn cynicism and backlash from the public. “I believe very strongly that there’s got to be a better way than the current patchwork on display throughout our province,” she said. “There’s been some disheartening events that have taken place in connection with local and regional government and [they’ve] caused the public to look askance at public officials. We need to do everything we have in the connection we have with the public and make good decisions going forward.” Currently, Coquitlam’s an-
nual increases for its elected official salaries are tied to the percentage increase received by city workers who are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Last week, Coun. Dennis Marsden pointed out even though council pay is only one line on its annual budget, it still has to be voted on by council. Although Coun. Terry O’Neill said the generic resolution is “a really good important step forward,” Mayor Richard Stewart said it was actually a step backward but needed to be taken to gain support by council and on the floor of the UBCM.

INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION
int’l ed. a form of privatization, group says Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
The Institute for Public Education, a new think tank promoting public education in B.C., said catering to foreign students is a form of privatization of B.C.’s public education system where the benefits aren’t shared equally and business priorities trump educational experiences. In a paper produced for a BC Teachers’ Federation conference in June, the institute criticized long-entrenched fundraising efforts, including international education, which has quintupled in B.C. since 2001, as an “insidious form of privatization” that have become a normal part of funding schools. “Of course, there are educational reasons for encouraging international students to attend B.C. schools, but such an approach would emphasize equity, the opportunity for a rich international experience for both foreign and Canadian students; would distribute students across school districts; and would be open to all foreign students not simply the wealthy,” states the “Many Faces of Privatization” paper. According to the paper, SD43 is second only to West Vancouver in the proportion of its budget — 11% — that relies on $15,000 fees foreign students pay, and the institute’s executive director said the district could do more to make the educational experience more fruitful. “One of the things we would want to suggest is there is a difference between having a business management model versus having an educational plan,” said Sandra Mathison, a UBC education professor and the institute’s executive director.
“There is an argument that could be made incorporating international students in B.C. schools on an education basis, what happens now is entirely a revenue generation strategy.” For example, she questions whether SD43 continues to need the $37-million revenue from foreign fees to add more resources to local schools when a new Classroom Enhancement Fund set up by the province to fulfill collective agreement requirements following a Supreme Court decision is adding staff to school budgets. SD43 expects to receive $23.3 million for additional teachers and support staff under the Memorandum of Agreement reached with the teachers’ union. Mathison suggested the primary reason for international education should be to enhance the educational experience for all students. And while SD43 does emphasize that international education makes students better prepared for a globally connected world, financial benefits are also important. In a recent presentation, SD43 pointed out that the program generates $37 million for schools, enabling it to hire more teachers, create more blocks of a popular course, pump $60 million into the local economy and helps disadvantaged students pay for grad. “By going global, SD43’s International Education Program is generating numerous opportunities for everyone to learn and benefit,” SD43s presentation states. If education benefits were the priority over financial resources, Mathison says the program would look much different than it does now. “The international students
who are coming are not from central Africa, probably relatively few from middle east, incoming students are not adding a lot of diversity.,” she said, noting the program attracts mostly those who can afford to pay for fees and housing. “I think there is an argument to be made, when you bring students from other cultures into schools it does create opportunities for new experiences even for domestic students. The challenge is whether the students who are coming in are different
enough, if they provide a unique experience by being in the school context to justify that,” Mathison said. International education could open up to include a broader range of students, some who can’t afford the fees on their own, Mathison said, if education was prioritized over financial benefits. The institute is also concerned about inequality, Mathison said, because not all school districts are equally positioned to solicit and cater to potential international students.

Tri-City senior poverty higher than B.C. average continued from front page
Port Moody, meanwhile has 370 poor seniors or 9.2%, while Port Coquitlam’s rate is 10.5% or 760. The Tri-City senior poverty rates are higher than the provincial average of 8.8% and show that there are pockets of poverty in an otherwise wealthy community. “It’s a call to action to people and community to give of their time, give of their knowledge and give of their resources to support community programs,” said Kahir Lalji, the United Way of the Lower Mainland’s provincial director for healthy aging. However, he acknowledged that the volunteer sector is facing its own challenges because working adults with busy family lives are stretched for time, leaving the bulk of volunteering to younger seniors, who do most of it. Lalji suggested the community view older seniors not as a burden but as a resource, because older people have something to give. Programs that bring high school students together with seniors, for example, often find teens benefit from the engagement, and he would like to see more intergenerational programs as well as more support for seniors centres and programs. The LIM After Tax amount is $22,133 for a single senior and $31,301 for a couple. Among the findings in the poverty report is data that shows B.C. has the highest poverty rate in the country, that the number of poor seniors in B.C. grew for the third year in a row, single seniors are more than three times as likely to be poor than senior couples, and 20% are spending more than 30% or more before tax income on housing costs. Among the issues that poor seniors face, Lalji said, is isolation because they can’t afford transportation and poor nutrition. He hopes the B.C. government’s upcoming poverty plan will address some of these issues. But he also suggested people take time to have a cup of tea with a senior or ask if they need help with groceries. “There’s an opportunity for us to branch out and love our community a bit more,” Lalji said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

FRANCOPHONE SCHOOL DISTRICT
Harassment alleged at École des Pionniers Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
A group of high school students from a francophone school in Port Coquitlam held a protest Thursday alleging a climate of bullying and harassment at their school. However, School District 93 superintendent Bertrand Dupain, responsible for Ecole des Pionniers de Maillardville, said student concerns are being investigated and issues that are found, if any, will be dealt with over the summer and in the new school year. “We are going to make a full investigation and we are going to take measures. If there is any disfunction it is not something we are going to accept,” said Dupain, whose Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique is a public school board responsible for all French schools in B.C. On Thursday morning, about a dozen students from grades 10 to 12 turned out with signs calling for equality for female students. They called on the administration to take action against alleged bullying and harassment behaviour by other male students because they don’t

Fellow student Olivia Brunet said the administration has mishandled the situation by trivializing complaints and not disciplining students who take part in the harassing action. Meanwhile, the superintendent said he could not confirm the allegations of bullying or harassment but noted the students’ complaints are being taken seriously.

R’view cemetery could increase capacity to be high,” said Coun. Chris Wilson. “The trend is more toward cremation. “Would we consider WILSON making the full burials less desirable, an incentive to go to green burial, by charging more in less desirable areas just to manage the supply.” In response, the city’s parks general manager, Raul Allueva,
continued from front page
The report considered providing green burials — returning a body as naturally as possible to the earth via biodegradable materials — in addition to building a mausoleum for full-burial interments, and reusing graves for occupied plots. Green burial, said the report, has emerged as a significant trend while the projected demand for a mausoleum wasn’t significant enough to be included in the report. “The number of full burials projected to be needed seems
something we’re seriously looking at it.” Lanny Englund, the city’s manager of park planning and forestry, said the feedback staff and the consultants received indicated it was not a popular option. It will, however, be included as part of the public survey. Coun. Terry O’Neill said the cost and aesthetic of a mausoleum doesn’t fit what’s currently at the cemetery. The report noted the province is considering turning over the Riverview cemetery to the city and that could provide
said considering Coquitlam’s growing population, he is confident in the consultant’s figures. Coun. ASMUNDSON Brent Asmundson was upset with the report’s dismissal of a mausoleum as an option. “It’s unfortunate. It’s taking away space when you have the opportunity,” said Asmundson. “A mausoleum should be
enough capacity until 2060. But council balked at that possibility. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said it would be another downloading of services but Allueva noted although unlikely to happen, any changeover would have to come with substantial operating funds “so the city doesn’t get saddled with costs that accrue to the property.” “At this point, we’re focusing on Robinson,” he said. “We don’t know what the province’s position is or if they’re amenable.”
Allueva said the city is not under any obligation to provide the services but said if municipalities don’t provide it, then private facilities will step in at a higher cost. That is a larger question, said Zarrillo, noting: “Hypothetically, if no city decided to expand or zone, how does B.C. as a province and Canada as a country plan to deal with death as a society.” The public survey, which includes questions on services, pricing and land use, is available at coquitlam.ca/cemetery plan.

clean of any marijuana growing,” Zarrillo said. Planning general manager Jim McIntyre said the city would need to get a legal opinion on what it could do, if anything, to impose such a condition on its contributions. Coun. Mae Reid said it wouldn’t be appropriate to have the smell of marijuana throughout a family-oriented project, and if the city is contributing, then it should be able to prevent pot from being grown in it. Mayor Richard Stewart said although he doesn’t think the city could impose a pot provision, he wouldn’t mind getting a definitive legal view on if it was possible. “I know people who have medicinal need for cannabis, and some of them are low income,” said Stewart. “That suggests it would be hard to place some justifiable ban on growing cannabis. [It could be] shown to be discriminatory to people with disabilities.”
The Tri-CiTy News
Some Coquitlam councillors want the city to find a way to make sure legal pot isn’t grown in a below-market rental housing project being planned by the United Church. The Como Lake United Church proposal calls for 75 units on its property at the corner of King Albert Avenue and Marmont Street. The city has agreed in principle to support a maximum contribution of $662,000 from its affordable housing reserve fund, mostly by waiving fees and development cost charges. But in giving that support, Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said the city should require the proprietor prohibit pot being grown in the units even though it will soon be legal for Canadians to do so in their own homes. “I’m very uncomfortable not having something in this agreement about marijuana in these units.

Leigh Square eyed for new rainbow art JaniS CLeugh The Tri-CiTy News
A new city art installation — budgeted to cost up to $20,000 — that celebrates gender identity and diversity is set to be placed in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village in Port Coquitlam. Tomorrow (Thursday), the city’s Healthy Community Committee is expected to OK the location for the Rainbow Public Art Project to go in the village’s southeast corner, by the fountain pool close to the Gathering Place. The site for the LGBT2Q+ art piece, which has yet to be commissioned, comes after con-
sultation with the city’s parks, operations, planning and facility services divisions. Staff want the art to be in a high-profile — and accessible — public place where there is a low risk for vandalism, according to a report that goes before the committee, headed by Coun. Glenn Pollock, on June 28. Having it in Leigh Square also eliminates the need to pour concrete bases for the installation, which would have cost up to $10,000, the report notes. Three of the nine sites considered were: the Gates Park promenade; Elks Park, along the Donald walkway; and the
Donald walkway, at the Wilson Avenue entry. Set to go up next summer, PoCo’s Rainbow Public Art Project comes as many B.C. municipalities are considering — or painting — rainbow crosswalks to show community inclusivity: Coquitlam’s went in by city hall in March (with a large social media backlash prior to its installation), while Port Moody is currently eyeing Newport Village. Last week, Surrey’s Pride crosswalk, which went in June 14, was defaced with white paint splatters — a week before the June 30 Pride party at Holland Park. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

and small children should be kept indoors or in the backyard and monitored closely, especially at dawn and dusk. He also urged the service be notified (1-877-952-7277) when a cougar is spotted because it could result in a pet or person being injured or killed.

A council representing 34,000 unionized K-12 support workers in B.C. schools has sent a tentative agreement back for more bargaining. The tentative deal had been announced last week by the union and the BC Public School Employers’ Association but a motion to recommend it to the membership was defeated, with the union heads deciding that more work was needed. “We’re still in bargaining,” said Warren Williams of the K-12 presidents’ council. The agreement had recommended a 2% wage increase for each of the three years, among other things. Local bargaining for School District 43 support workers is expected to start this fall. Dave Ginter, president of CUPE 561 representing 1,100 school support workers, said he believes local bargaining is most important with education assistants a top priority this year because of their importance in local schools and because there is a shortage. Meanwhile, the school workers will see their pensions transferred to the Municipal Pension Plan [MPP] effective Jan. 1, 2018, after an applica-

The deal affects employed members of CUPE 561, while retirees will remain in the old plan. It was the final step in a process that took over a year to negotiate and included a protest when workers were concerned about a potential loss of retirement benefits, a concern that was removed with the pension plan transfer. It also means the district no longer has to worry about a $50 million gap in solvency deficiencies identified in 2016,
and “substantially adds to long-term financial stability of the school district,” according to secretary treasurer Chris Nicolls. The deal was struck in December and was approved by the school board, the MPP board and the provincial government. Among the terms of the agreement is a 4% wage increase for all transferring members to cover the pension contribution difference between the two plans at an annual cost of $2 million.

Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
An overwhelming number of participants in a Port Moody citizen survey this spring said the city’s quality of life is good, with a quarter of them saying it has improved in the last three years. And while just over half said the quality of life has “stayed the same,” a smaller — but growing — number said that quality had diminished in the same period. And the numbers reflect a generational divide. The survey, which is conducted every two years and this year ran from April 25 to May 7, was scheduled to be presented to council at its meeting Tuesday. While 98% of the 400 people surveyed by phone by polling company Ipsos Public Affairs said the city’s quality of life is still “very good” or “good,” a growing number — 23% — said that quality of life has diminished in the past three years. That’s up from 14% of

respondents in 2016. Of that 23% of respondents, 39% said growth and development were a cause for dissatisfaction while traffic raised the ire of 36% of them. The increasing cost of living, SkyTrain and high taxes were among other reasons given. The rate of dissatisfaction was highest among residents 55 and older and those who have lived in the city for more than 11 years. Conversely, 25% of the people who participated in the survey said life in Port Moody has improved over the past three years — that’s up 3% from 2016. Those respondents credited SkyTrain, good public transportation, more things to do and amenities amongst their reasons.
The satisfaction rate was highest amongst respondents between the ages of 18 and 34 and those with kids living at home. Growth and development were also cited as the predominant issue facing the city by 42% of the residents surveyed, up from 24% in 2016. Concerns about transportation diminished slightly to 40% from 47% while other issues mentioned as a concern included parks, recreation and culture, government services and the environment. As well, more respondents aren’t enamoured with the way Port Moody council is dealing with those issues, as the satisfaction rating for their work dropped 10% since 2016.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
A waterfront opportunity T
he city of Port Moody is in a unique place to guide the development of a new waterfront neighbourhood on private lands currently housing a cedar mill. Like vancouver, which had an industrial waterfront and now has miles of public boardwalk and rental housing at the olympic village, Port Moody has a unique opportunity to decide what should be built at the longtime site of the flavelle mill. What the city does have is the power to guide development in a way that meets the needs of the property owner as well as residents who will live in the new neighbourhood and near it, and to that end, it DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n
is charged with a great responsibility. In fact, it could be argued that those currently on city council will chart a path for future politicians because those who vote on projects in the current four-year political cycle won’t necessarily be around when this area is built out in the next decade or two. To put things in context, School district 43 is looking to purchase land for a school for 430 students in the area and estimates the land costs will be $40.2 million for just 1.6 hectares. Compare that with estimated costs last year of $9 million for 2.5 hectares for a school — a stunning increase in value that has resulted from
TC
turning industrial land into land for housing. Now that both Metro vancouver and the city have given thumbs up to the official community plan amendment to allow a high-density mixeduse neighbourhood for up to 7,000 people, flavelle’s realestate arm will create a comprehensive master plan for the site. as plans are revealed, it will be important for city council to ensure transportation opportunities are diverse and integrated to reduce reliance on the private vehicle. as much as possible, a public walkway/bikeway should be built around the waterfront, similar to what has been developed at the olympic village,
possibly through a partnership with the city. as well, building methods must be sustainable, net zero in energy consumption if viable, and where possible, a range of housing types, including below-market and rental, should be promoted. of course, with every ask from the city will be a requirement to boost density to make projects financially feasible, so these trade-offs need to be considered as well. but with a strong vision from the city and an equally strong backbone from councillors, the flavelle waterfront site can be a model development for the future. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

It’s home to a long-running cedar mill but the Flavelle site on Port Moody’s waterfront has a different future in the works, with plans for a high-density housing development.

MENTAL HEALTH
Bridge over the inlet Another step towards best in the long-term compassionate future The Editor, Re. “Road through Bert Flinn is key” (Letters, The Tri-City News, June 20). First, let me say that I support protecting Bert Flinn Park 100%. I frequently use the park, signed the petition to save it and want it to remain as is. While I understand letter writer Wilhelmina Martin’s concern about the future of Ioco Road, a road through Bert Flinn Park is not going to significantly reduce the traffic from the proposed Ioco lands development. I attended the information meeting and was impressed with the research and options considered by Port Moody city staff. But after looking at the different routes, it was clear that the traffic from the lower portion of the development would still flow through Ioco Road regardless of which option the city chooses. It’s a slippery slope because a road through Bert Flinn would be an open invitation to even further development and more

traffic on Ioco Road. Why? Because the residents of the proposed development will use Ioco as the most direct route to Port Moody’s city centre, mass transit and commuter routes to other parts of the Lower Mainland. Ioco Road may be busy but David Avenue and Heritage Mountain Boulevard are busier. As these are established arteries for the Tri-Cities, the city needs to consider what an intersection at David and Heritage Mountain would look like. Two schools, continued development on Burke Mountain and beyond will create gridlock and channel even more traffic to a
city centre that’s already choking on congestion. Further, the city cannot look at this issue in isolation without consideration for the plans for development along St. Johns and at Coronation Park, Electronic Avenue and the Flavelle mill site. So what is the answer? If the city and its residents want to plan beyond just the electoral cycle and 20 years to the future, then it needs to consider option N: a Burrard Inlet bridge. A bridge would not only allow for further development of Ioco, Ioco tank farm, Burrard Thermal, Anmore and Belcarra, but also reduce traffic from new developments through the city’s core. It would give those living along Ioco Road a more direct route to Barnet Highway and beyond. Yes, it would be expensive, but we’re looking at a 20-year plan and not just until the next election. And it would keep Bert Flinn Park intact — a nice legacy for our current city council. Monica Keen, Port Moody
The Editor, Re. “Todd wants World Mental Health Day” (The Tri-City News, June 20). I wholeheartedly agree with Carol Todd that Oct. 10 should be proclaimed World Mental Health Day. Accordingly, I am urging every reader of The TriCity News to sign her petition online. The stigma associated with mental illness continues to cripple many sufferers with a heavy burden of shame, ultimately rendering them less apt to seek professional intervention and treatment. As their illnesses fester, these individuals can, for instance, end up taking sick leave and going on long-term disability from their jobs, potentially lowering our country’s GDP. Afterwards, when their mental health has snowballed to a breaking point and their physical health starts to deteriorate, their subse-
CAROL TODD quent hospitalization can tax our health care system. Alternatively, these individuals could simply wind up on our streets, where they can increase crime rates and policing costs. Ultimately, the necessary revenue will be billed to you, the taxpayer. Although designating a World Mental Health Day will not solve the complex prob-
lems that stigma engenders, it stands as one bold step towards a brighter future — a future where we, the afflicted, could be regaling our friends and coworkers with stories of panic attacks and psych ward visits, for instance, all without suffering any wounds to our dignity. Think about it: your brain — despite its vast complexity and unparalleled intellectual abilities — is still a bodily organ. Why should it alone enjoy complete immunity to any possible disease or malfunction? Why do a minority of our 21st century society continue to discriminate disorders of the brain as “illegitimate” in contrast to ailments affecting other organs? Society needs to change. World Mental Health Day would pave the way towards a more enlightened and compassionate future. Peter Toth, Port Coquitlam

JULY 2018
CHAMBER NEWS
WWW.TRICITYNEWS.COM
TRI-CITIES CHAMBER PUBLIC POLICY UPDATE With the change in BC’s provincial government last July and clarity coming from the federal government, the Tri-Cities Chamber staff and Policy Committee have been busy. There have been three key themes that have been the cornerstone of our agenda: tax environment, regulatory environment, and development and housing.
TAX ENVIRONMENT Federal Tax on Small Business The federal government proposed sweeping tax reforms on small businesses in July 2017: income splitting; passive income within a corporation, capital gains exemptions, and pipeline planning when transferring a business to a family member. These changes represented some of the most sweeping tax reform in Canadian history. Your Chamber hosted educational seminars presented by Adam Plank at Rise CPA. Adam helped approximately 75 members learn about the changes and their impact on businesses in the Tri-Cities. Your Chamber hosted a roundtable discussion with MP Ron McKinnon and Chamber members. Through a coordinated letter writing campaign across the Tri-Cities Chamber and Chambers abroad, we advocated on behalf of our members resulting in a significant revision and improvement to pipeline planning, capital gains exemptions and passive income investments. Furthermore, in response to the negative press, the federal government announced a 2% reduction on Canadian Controlled Private Corporations, from 11% to 9%.
BC Employer Health Tax The Provincial Government has been busy (more on that in the next section), highlighted by the BC Employer Health Tax (i.e. Payroll Tax). This tax is extremely regressive in its structure and has numerous unintended consequences if implemented without change. The tax is on total payroll and increases incrementally at different levels, with the highest rate on payrolls in excess of $1.95 million. Details are still murky, but rest assured your Chamber is aggressively advocating for design and rollout to minimize the impact this tax will have on businesses, their employees, and the ability for the BC economy to compete. Short of complete removal of this legislation, our objective is to work with the Minister of Finance, Carol James to develop a program that is as least regressive as possible: 1. a marginal tax system whereby businesses are not punished for hitting payrolls at the next tax rate; 2. increase the marginal rates with the rate of inflation so that businesses can provide cost of living adjustments to their employees without being punished; 3. eliminate the double dipping scheduled for
POLICY SURVEY RESULTS SUMMARY
In May, 2018 we conducted a policy survey among our members to find out what business issues are most important to them. This helps us to better understand businesses needs and challenges so we can focus our advocacy efforts on what matters. Our members were clear that the increase in taxes on their businesses, such as the new Employer Health Tax, will have an adverse effect on their growth at a time when the larger economy shows sign of a slowdown. Smaller businesses were especially worried about what this will mean for new hires and discretionary spending. Rising costs for leasing, increases in property tax, and hikes to the minimum wage are compounding the effects of increases in taxes to create a heavy burden on businesses of all sizes. To make things worse affordability and availability across a number of fronts has become a serious problem. We heard this most frequently on the topics of housing and childcare, but also from small businesses at risk from area redevelopments and the availability of lease space. This threatens to drive away skilled labour and businesses from the Tri-Cities.

Patriotic Pitt River students get their flag pole Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
Pitt River middle Grade 7 students Ethan Fukuhara and George Plesu are best friends who enjoy sports and have the same sense of humour. The boys are also patriotic and, just in time for Canada Day, have been assured that a missing flagpole at their school will be replaced. “It’s a small detail but it’s something important to us,” Plesu said. The two noticed their school didn’t have a flagpole — a detail that appears to have been missed when the school was rebuilt four years ago — and so they did some research and found that theirs was the only middle school in the district not flying the national flag. It was a project they did on their own time, studying Google images of every middle school in School District 43. “I thought why don’t we have a flagpole, we should
have a flagpole,” Fukuhara said. “I think the pole shows who we are, it shows we’re Canadian, it shows our pride,” They sent the research proving theirs was the only middle school without a flagpole flying the flag to PoCo trustee Michael Thomas, who investigated the situation. “They did their homework, and collected photos, put together a report and presented it to me in an email,” said Thomas, who said he was proud of the boys’ initiative. Plans are now in the works to transport an unused pole from Moody middle school to Pitt River over the summer and by fall when the boys return to class, they will see Canada’s flag flying once more in front of their school. “It shows we are unified, no matter where you come from, you are always a Canadian,” Plesu summed up. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
Diane StranDberg/the tri-City newS
Pitt River middle Grade 7 students Ethan Fukuhara and George Plesu took it on their own initiative to find out why their school didn’t have a flagpole and, after asking for one, will see a flagpole rise on the grounds of the Port Coquitlam school this summer.

Time for firefighters’ pancakes Port Moody firefighter Rob Shoucair puts the timer on fellow firefighters Steve O’Brien, Mike Shefley and Luka Pavicic as they get in some last-minute training to turn 600 kg of batter into pancakes at Port Moody Firefighters’ 41st annual pancake breakfast. The morning feast will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Inlet Fire Hall from 9 a.m. to noon, with all proceeds going to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation and Crossroads Hospice. Last year’s event raised more than $40,000. Shoucair, one of the event’s organizers, said gluten-free pancakes are available; just advise the firefighters while you’re waiting in line and they can mix up a special batch.

2019 and 2020 when both MSP and the Payroll Tax are charged; 4. increase the base payroll exemption to $1 million from $500,000 to allow for true small business exemption; 5. exclude profit sharing, employer RRSP and pension plan contributions, and employer funded benefits from the calculation of total payroll.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
HAPPY
Minimum Wage
ANNIVERSARY!
The BC government announced an increased schedule to minimum wage, but we are not convinced that adjusting the minimum wage will help the targeted group. Minimum wage increases elsewhere have had a number of unintended consequences, such as a reduction in the number of hours and benefits in the short- and mid-term, and expedited automation plans replacing technology and robotics with workers in the long-term. One of the key concerns to increases in minimum wage is the impact it has on key groups who earn minimum wage: young people and secondary income earners. 58.4% of minimum wage earners are between the ages of 15 and 24 years. Young people new to the workforce use their ‘first job’ to develop employment skills. 87.5% of minimum wage earners live in households that live above the low income cut off point and only 2.2% of minimum wage earners support family income. The Chamber would like to see more consideration of options of a more progressive Tax Benefit program for workers such as the Earned Income Tax Credit or Working Income Tax Benefit programs offered elsewhere. These programs provide the government with effective tools at reducing and eliminating poverty and allows employers to maintain hours and benefits for their employees.

Dan Caza
Your Chamber has been a strong advocate for increased density to help improve affordability for employees, to increase the tax base for municipal services and to increase the customer base for Tri-Cities businesses. The Policy Committee has attended a number of City Council public consults to provide our support. The Austin Heights removed the moratorium on height restrictions allowing for development along the commercial district of Austin. The redevelopment of the mobile home park at 3370 Dewdney Trunk into purpose-built rental housing is now going to 1st and 2nd readings.

Shelter at 3030 Gordon A number of businesses have experienced the negative externalities associated with the shelter at 3030 Gordon. From discarded needles, open drug use, prostitution, break-ins and aggressive pan handling, the businesses and their customers have had little impact on change. However, the Chamber is working with the City of Coquitlam on a Task Force where the stories and perspectives from businesses are shared with local officials. As a result, the City is working on programs to mitigate the problems associated with the Shelter. These are but a few examples of the activities the staff and Policy Committee are working on on behalf of all members. You can expect future updates on a wide range of issues such as ICBC limits, proportional representation, clamp down on private health care, and commercial and residential development. Stay tuned.

Two Tri-City volunteers were honoured for their work as homeless and housing advocates at the 2018 Douglas College convocation ceremonies last week. Sandy and Cathy Burpee received recognition as 2018 Honorary Fellows for their achievements including advocating and building community support for 3030 Gordon Ave., a permanent shelter and transition housing for people without a home. But in their own home, a two-bedroom condo in Coquitlam, the pair said they are surprised by the recognition and grateful for the college’s acknowledgement, even if they don’t quite think they deserve it. “We were glad to be participating in the child and family and community studies convocation,”said Cathy. “We could be role models to others. To me that made sense.” The two are humble about their contributions to the community and said they are most impressed with the Douglas College grads who will be working on making the world a just and safe place for vulnerable people. “The message we wanted to give is a message that would be energizing to them,” said Sandy, a retired BC Hydro engineer. As long as many can remember, the Burpees have been working to support those less fortunate. They worked to end violence in the 1990s with a group called Together Against Violence, and with their Beacon Unitarian Church helped start a food bank with Share Family and Community Services and

Sandy and Cathy Burpee received awards as 2018 Honorary Fellows at the Douglas College convocation ceremonies last week. They are standing with board chair John Evans in this photo. Como Lake United Church. Cathy also worked as a volunteer with the Society for Community Development, which helped groups dealing with social issues, while Sandy was also a member of the Coquitlam Search and Rescue team, participating in more than 50 searches. Later they began to work on behalf of homeless people and remember the incident that inspired Sandy to become an advocate for those less fortunate. It was one night while they were meeting friends for dinner in Gastown when they were greeted by a panhandler. At first the couple brushed passed the man, but then Sandy returned, ashamed, after spending a few minutes in the warmly lit restaurant. “I went back and gave him $5. He said, ‘Thank you very much.’” The man stepped out of the shadows and revealed a badly
scarred face, the remnants of a terrible family incident. “He just needed you to recognize him and hear his story,” Cathy recalled. “I was just very disturbed by it,” Sandy replied. Sandy is still involved in issues of homelessness, although he recently stepped down as chair of the Tri-Cities Homelessness and Housing Task Group after 11 years at its helm. He does weekly needle sweeps in Coquitlam and picks up litter in the area of the 3030 Gordon Ave. shelter and is planning some workshops about homelessness. He also monitors the weather for the emergency shelter program that funds temporary mats for people during the winter when temperatures dip below zero. “Homelessness has always disturbed me at my core,” Sandy said. His wife, meanwhile, sup-
ports Sandy’s advocacy work while also being an involved grandmother. “Family is important to us,” Cathy commented. “Family always comes first.” Yet for all the work the two have put into making Coquitlam a better place, many would think the TriCities has become the couples’ extended family. As Douglas College president Kathy Denton noted in a press release announcing the Burpees’ honorary fellowship: “Sandy and Cathy Burpee’s tireless advocacy of antipoverty, homelessness and violence prevention initiatives are part of a long-time commitment to our communities that is truly inspiring. Their ability to organize diverse groups to work toward shared goals demonstrates the type of leadership that is needed to tackle some of society’s greatest challenges.”

Crime & agoraphobia A GOOD READ SHARON VISSER ARAUJO
I
never read according to theme so I never use a theme for my book reviews. Here is yet another no-theme theme. • Where’d You Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple: A quirky and fun tale, this book tells all about the life and times of Bernadette Fox, mother, brilliant architect and a woman with an increasing case of agoraphobia. Bernadette’s beloved daughter Bee aces her report card and lets her family know that she intends to take her parents up on her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. Bernadette is thrilled for Bee but is less pleased for herself; she hates leaving the house. Bernadette’s allergy to the outside world slowly increases until her virtual personal assistant, located in India, is doing the most basic tasks for her. Unfortunately for Bernadette, her virtual assistant can’t actually go on this trip in her place. Read this entertaining novel when you’re in the mood for something fun. • Rush of Blood by Mark Billingham: Three English couples meet while on vacation in Florida. They don’t have much in common but they bond over good times in the warm sun.
Tragedy strikes on the last day of their holiday when a young girl, also staying at the resort with her mother, goes missing. All three couples are shaken my the mother’s understandable fear and, on that note, their vacation ends. Because they had got along so well while away, and because they all live near one another, the three couples decide to meet for a dinner party a few weeks after returning home. Inevitably the subject of the young girl comes up. They each discuss their memories and talk about where they were when she went missing. Over the next couple of months, they meet two more times. Each time, they discuss the crime and each time new evidence is revealed. • Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann: This is an in-
teresting book that ties a group of very different people together using an amazing incident: a man walking across a wire between New York’s twin towers. The first group of stories details the life of Corrigan, a radical young Irish priest who ministers to a group of prostitutes in a bad part of the city. The story then goes on to a group of mothers who have lost their sons in the Vietnam War. From there, we learn about the life and times of a young artist and after that we hear about a judge. These disparate stories end up beautifully woven together. • Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss:This non-fiction book takes a critical look at the power the fast food giants have over the consumer. The amount of research fast food companies have done on what makes salt, sugar and fat so irresistible is mind-boggling. This book then goes on to discuss what these companies have done with this information. We all know that large amounts of fast food are bad for us but we eat ourselves sick anyway. This book doesn’t remove blame from the individual but it does highlight the amount of money thrown at these food products to get us to spend our limited dollars on them. A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Sharon Visser Araujo works at PoCo’s Terry Fox Library.

Rockin’ Rocky Point with Barney, Bif Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Two years ago, 54•40 headlined the Golden Spike Days, an annual festival at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park. Last year, gates had to be closed after the grounds filled up fast for Trouper. For this year’s bash, organizers have two major Canadian acts to entertain the crowds: Bif Naked on June 30 and, for Canada Day, a reunion of Barney Bentall with his Legendary Hearts. “It’s going to be a very special concert,” said Bentall from his Cariboo farm near 100 Mile House, of his bandmates Mike Crozier, Jack Guppy, Colin Nairne and Dave Reimer. “We’ve known each other for 30 years and that’s always a wonderful thing to be a part of. We always get along so well. There’s a lot of shared history and, after a practice or two, it never feels like we’ve left.” A Juno-award winner, Bentall said he and the Hearts will play such classic hits as Come Back to Me and Something to Live For for their Port Moody gig; however, they’ll also touch on one or two tunes from Bentall’s latest solo album, The Drifter & The Preacher — his first LP in five years. And, yes, he’ll lead the audience in the national anthem. “I like it when everybody sings along but I’ll pick the right moment for it. Maybe just before a big song.”

Barney Bentall, left, and his Legendary Hearts band play Rocky Point Park in Port Moody on Sunday, July 1 at 9:15 p.m.; Bif Naked, above, is at the park on Saturday, June 30, also at 9:15 p.m.
Still, unlike his new album title, there’ll be no preaching. “I could walk onto the stage and talk about American politics, Donald Trump and the pipeline but I think that might really antagonize a lot of people so I tend not to be a mouth for that,” Bentall said. “It’s a challenging time in the world, for sure, and I’m careful as a musician.”
Carrier OF THE Week Congratulations on a job well done!

He added, “I’m extremely patriotic about Canada. We have a wonderful country and the more the landscape of the world changes, it becomes ever-more clear that we are a really wonderful country. We are not without our problems but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.” As for Bif Naked, who plays the PCT Performance Stage at
Rocky Point Park on June 30 at 9:15 p.m., she looks forward to returning to her “old stompin’ grounds.” Two months ago, she and her guitarist husband sold their respective pads in Vancouver and New Westminster and moved east to Toronto, where her manager is located and work is plentiful. Coming back to Metro
Vancouver for part of the summer — before she launches a fall tour to promote her new album, Hot Box Girls — “is pretty exciting,” she gushed. “Summers are about festivals and fun and, hopefully, the weather will be perfect.” “I love shows like the Golden Spike Days because they’re free and they’re for families. Everyone can come.” Like Bentall, she promises to sing her most popular singles such as Spaceman, Tango Shoes and Lucky — the latter of which “I always cry,” the former cancer patient said. “It embarrasses my husband…
but I dedicate it for the nurses. It’s emotional and it’s part of the show just like my fans are. We’ve grown up together (I started in this business when I was 18) and now they’re in their 40s and have kids and, hopefully, will bring them to the show, too.” • The Golden Spike Days Festival runs at Rocky Point Park (2800 block of Murray Street, Port Moody) on June 29 (6 to 11 p.m.), June 30 (11 a.m. to 11 p.m.), July 1 (11 a.m. to 11 p.m.) and July 2 (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

Delhi 2 Dublin — Tarun Nayar (tabla, electronics); Sanjay Seran (vocals); Ravi Binning (dhol); and Serena Eades (violin) — play the TD Community Plaza stage in Coquitlam Town Centre Park at 8:30 p.m. for Canada Day, July 1. Their show concludes with fireworks over Lafarge Lake.

Canada Day show before U.S. summer tour for D2D JaniS CleUgh The Tri-CiTy News
Sanjay Seran can kind of recall the last time Delhi 2 Dublin played Coquitlam. The Richmond-born vocalist for the high-energy, multicultural band — which has an international following — remembers the park atmosphere and the act that preceded them: children’s entertainers Bobs and Lolo. For their return to Coquitlam Town Centre Park, however, it’ll be a different scene. Rather than a temporary stage and a daytime slot, D2D — as they are known — will perform in the Lafarge Lake amphitheatre, on the newly rebranded TD Community Plaza stage, as headliners for the Canada Day celebrations, an annual city-run event that last year saw more than 80,000 visitors during the day-long national fete. And, to conclude their set, pyrotechnics will shoot off over the lake for 20 minutes. “We are really psyched,”
Seran told The Tri-City News, adding, “These are really exciting times for us right now. We’ve got some new music we want to share with everyone.” Early September was supposed to be the launch for their new album, filled with electronica, bhangra, celtic and world pop sounds, but their management pushed it to later in the year, he said. No worries, Seran said, as the extra time gives D2D more opportunities to test out their new tunes before summer audiences. After Coquitlam on July 1, D2D heads to St. Albert, Alta., for the Seven Music Festival before starting a U.S. tour that begins in Redmond, Wash., before moving east: Oklahoma, Kansas, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Oregon. D2D already has a huge fan base in those states but hasn’t performed there in years, Seran said; their management thought it would be a good time to solidify their standing. “Big cities like Chicago and Minneapolis have lot of op-
tions to see big names,” he said, “so it’s kind of cool that a little band can go to a big city and still be a big attraction. That’s a cool feeling.” They’ll keep it chill for their Canada Day show, too. Seran said he won’t be getting on a soapbox to trash talk American politics nor will he be leading the crowd in the national anthem. “It’s a touchy subject,” Seran said. “Once we played in Haida Gwaii and another band sang O Canada. It didn’t go over well. We don’t overtly try to be patriotic — I love being from Vancouver, it’s beautiful and, yes it’s crazy expensive but this is my city — but we just tend to party.” He added, “We celebrate the wonderful place and the people that have allowed us to be here.” • Coquitlam’s 10th annual Canada Day festivities start at Town Centre Park (1299 Pinetree Way) at noon; Delhi 2 Dublin hits the TD Community Plaza stage at 8:30 p.m. Visit coquitlam.ca/canadaday. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Castle Park show is the last for Derrival before hiatus July 1 party starts in Lions Park, moves to Castle Park at noon Janis Cleugh
The Tri-CiTy News
For party-goers, Derrival’s concert to conclude the Port Coquitlam Canada Day celebrations will be a fun way to usher in the country’s 151st year. For the band, though, the July 1 show will be their way to say goodbye to many years of making music together — at least for the time being. Lead vocalist and guitarist
Adam Mah said the group — once mentored by Kardinal Offishall and Sam Roberts through a Juno Masterclass, and the second-place winners of the 2014 Peak Performance Project — will take a hiatus after its Castle Park gig. “It wasn’t an easy decision to make but, for various reasons, it feels like the right one,” said Mah, who plans to release new music with producer and Derrival keyboardist, Shane Stephenson. They’ve had quite a run. Since forming, the fivepiece band has played to some very large crowds (Squamish Valley Music Festival) and worked with some major producers (Ryan Worsley, Chris Gehringer) to cut such catchy
tunes as Ice Cream and Ghosts of Our Past. They filmed music videos and met with some big names, signing up with AntiFragile Music, which was founded by Tom Sarig (Lou Reed, Bryan Ferry). Along the way, they also brought their act to the TriCities: They played PoCo for a Victoria Day celebration two years ago and, last August, opened for Bif Naked at the Kaleidoscope Arts Festival in Coquitlam. For their Sunday concert at Castle Park, Mah said Derrival will cover a wide range from their catalogue as well as some Canadian covers. “We weren’t planning on playing another show but we were asked to do this one and
decided it would be good to do one more show before we take a hiatus and go our separate ways,” Mah said. • The Canada Day celebrations in Port Coquitlam start at 8 a.m. at Lions Park, in downtown PoCo, with a pancake breakfast and fishing derby. At noon, the party continues at Castle Park, in Citadel Heights, with community entertainment; firefighters will serve a salmon dinner from 3 to 6 p.m. with proceeds supporting the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. Jessica Barbour, Top City and Derrival hit the main stage before the grand finale fireworks at dusk, also courtesy of the firefighters. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/ canadaday. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

city grants
PoCo set to offer $ for car show, new youth choir Nine arts and cultural groups are set to split more than $30,000 from the city of Port Coquitlam this summer. Tomorrow (Thursday), the city’s healthy community committee is expected to recommend grants from the Community Cultural Development Investment Program be awarded to: • Hyde Creek Watershed
Society ($2,500 for an educational activity book to teach kids about salmon life cycles); • Haney Farmers Market Society ($1,500 for multicultural events at the PoCo Farmers’ Market, with SUCCESS and the Tri-Cities Local Immigration Partnership Program); • Port Coquitlam Events Society ($7,500 for the 14th
annual Downtown PoCo Car Show); • Art Focus Artists’ Association ($1,500 for art demo nights); • Theatrix Youtheatre Society ($5,000 for succession planning and training); • Friends of Leigh Square Society ($5,000 for organizational planning); • PoCo Heritage Trees
($2,410 for tree awareness); • Tri-City School of Music ($2,500 for a new youth choir); • and Aurelia Bizouard Art ($2,500 for a Live Light Painting mural). The grant distribution, if green-lighted by council, will mean $16,590 will be left for the program intake this fall. Several organizations didn’t qualify for the spring round
due to incomplete applications, according to a committee report, or they were not eligible for funding. Among them, the Friends of Leigh Square Society (a $20,000 request for operations); TriCities Community TV Society ($15,000); and Simply Ballet ($10,000 to produce Cinderella at the Terry Fox Theatre). However, city staff made
an exception with the PoCo Events Society’s incomplete bid as the group is in transition to become an independent society and its car show draws 50,000 visitors to the downtown, the report noted. That event is scheduled for Aug. 19 with its car cruise the night before. The society is chaired by PoCo Coun. Dean Washington. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam Redlegs baserunner Giordano Mezzomo scrambles back to third base to avoid getting picked off by Mid-Island Jr. Pirates third baseman Zac Robinson in their BC Junior Premier League Baseball League doubleheader, last Saturday at Coquitlam’s Mundy Park. The Redlegs won both games, 8-0 and 5-4. On Sunday, they split a doubleheader against the Langley Jr. Blaze at Robert MacLeod Park in Langley. The Redlegs won the second game 12-1 after dropping the opener, 4-3. The team is in second place in the league standings, 5.5 games back of the North Shore Jr. Twins and two games ahead of the Blaze.

PoCo exec leads Vancouver NLL team DAN OLSON
NEW WEST RECORD
Dan Richardson’s golf game has taken a hit. The Port Coquitlam resident is going from being semiretired with a bit of time on his hands to run the New Westminster Salmonbellies as the president and general manager of the Western Lacrosse Association
team to accepting an offer from Canucks Sports and Entertainment to be the general manager of Vancouver’s National Lacrosse League team. The Canucks organization bought the Vancouver Stealth last week, and announced the squad will be rebranded with a new name and logo, and move into Rogers Arena. Richards recently retired from his daytime job and was looking forward to pursuing some of other passions aside from lacrosse — including lots of golf. Now, instead of booking tee times, he’ll be rolling up his sleeves for the big challenge of

also an assistant coach with the WLA’s Maple Ridge Burrards. For Richardson, getting the NLL offer proved to be a whirlwind courtship that led to a whole new set of responsibilities, but in a sphere where he’s well connected. “These are exciting times and in the back of my mind I’ve always thought I’d like to try the NLL side but the opportunity never came around,” Richardson said. Under the Stealth banner and playing in Langley, the club struggled to build a successful model both on and off the floor. Over five seasons after relocating from Everett, the franchise only made the
playoffs once — in 2017 — and fell short of averaging 4,000 fans a game. Richardson said with the Canucks organization behind them and the attraction of playing in a world-class city and facility like Rogers Arena, recruiting players will be a major priority. And while his duties with Vancouver will be a major undertaking for Richardson, he said New West is still a priority as the club aims for a second straight WLA title. “Right now nothing changes,” Richardson said of a position he’s held for 15 years. —With files from Grant Granger.

selling lacrosse in the big city. “It’s a good thing I got a lot of golfing out of the way already,” Richardson said. The first step of the team’s rebranding will be hiring a new crew to create a winning culture. Richardson didn’t have to look far. He hired Coquitlam native and former Salmonbellie Chris Gill as the team’s new head coach. “I’ve always had a good relationship with Chris, when he was a player and as he moved up the coaching ranks,” Richardson said of the Hall of Famer, who was the cocoach of the NLL’s Colorado Mammoth last season and was

The 2022 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) men’s world lacrosse championship will be played in Coquitlam. Sue Redfern, FIL president, made the announcement on Monday. She said the tournament will run July 12 to 24, 2022, at Percy Perry Stadium in Town Centre Park. The venue also hosted the 2008 and 2016 men’s U19 world championships. Cliff Pascas, the chair of the Canadian Lacrosse Association’s bid committee, said the organization is looking forward to hosting the top 30 teams from around the world. Joey Harris, the president of the CLA said Coquitlam’s previous experience hosting international lacrosse competitions made it an ideal candidate to host the senior men’s championship that is held every four years. This year’s world championship is being held in Netanya, Israel, from July 12-21. Canada is the defending champion, after defeating the United States, 8-5, in the final at the 2014 world championships that were played in Denver, Colo. Several local players are on Canada’s 23-man roster that is traveling to Israel, including Port Coquitlam’s Ryland Rees, and Curtis Dickson, along with Coquitlam’s Wesley Berg, and Ben McIntosh.

A pair of wins over the weekend propelled the Port Coquitlam Saints into second place in the BC Junior A Lacrosse League standings. The Saints have 24 points in 16 games, two more than the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who played the Langley Thunder on Tuesday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline), and five behind the first place Coquitlam Adanacs. The Saints and Adanacs play each other tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Sunday at the PoCo Rec Centre, the Saints stormed back from a 7-5 deficit with five goals in the third period to defeat the visiting Victoria Shamrocks 10-9. Clark Walter scored the winner with just 49 seconds left in regulation time. PoCo led 5-4 at the end of the first period, but Victoria
scored three unanswered goals in the second period to wrest control of the game. Walter got the home team back to within a goal early in the third. Less than a minute later, Jacob Patterson tied it and 34 seconds after that he put the Saints in front, 8-7. Brian Cobb got the Shamrocks back on even terms. But that lasted just over two minutes, until Connor Frost scored unassisted to put PoCo in front again. Marshal King then tied it with just under seven minutes to play until Walter netted his third goal of the game. Dyaln Foulds scored a goal and added five assists to lead all Saints scorers, while Walter had a pair of assists in addition to his hat trick of goals. Cam Overby stopped 29 of the 38 shots he faced while his mates fired 39 at Victoria keeper Cameron Dunkerley. The last-minute win was a contrast to the Saints’ 16-5 home floor romp over the Delta Islanders on Friday. PoCo scored nine unan-
swered goals in the first period, then added four more in the second period before the Islanders were able to put a shot past Overby. Foulds had three goals and five assists, while Garrett Winter and Ryland Rees also scored three times to lead the Saints’ scoring attack. The Adanacs, meanwhile, won their ninth game in a row when they defeated the Nanaimo Timbermen, 11-7, at the Nanaimo Ice Centre on Saturday afternoon. The Adanacs, who outshot their hosts 54-22, led 4-2 after the first period and 10-4 after the second period.
SR. ADANACS LOSE A pair of losses last weekend has further mired the Coquitlam Adanacs into the bottom of the Western Lacrosse Association standings. The Adanacs fell 9-4 to the Nanaimo Timbermen on Sunday after losing 12-9 to the Langley Thunder on Saturday. Coquitlam has just one win in its nine games.

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT
B.C. home sales forecast revised, predicted to drop 17.7%
HOME SALES*
It’s not looking good for total B.C. home sales this year compared with last year, according to a forecast by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
expected to drop 11 per cent this year compared with 2017, which is also a bigger decline than the previously predicted 7.1 per cent.
With a slow start to the year, the association had previously predicted an 11 per cent decline in B.C. resale transactions in 2018 compared with 2017. But with an even weaker spring market than expected, this figure has now been revised to a 17.7 per cent annual decrease.
Quebec and Nova Scotia are now the only two provinces expected to see home sales increase this year, compared with last year.
That’s the sharpest predicted decline of all the provinces and territories, with Ontario following at an expected 15.9 per cent drop.
Canada’s average sale prices are expected to drop 2.1 per cent in 2018, taking the average price of a home sold this year just below the $500,000 mark. The average price is then expected to increase in 2019 by 3.8 per cent, said CREA.

Despite B.C.’s expected weak sales performance in 2018, average sale prices across the province are predicted to continue to rise, by 3.4 per cent this year. CREA said B.C. sale prices will then rise a further 1.8 per cent in 2019 to an average of $747,100.
