At aspecialmeeting, PoCo council recently agreedtowaivethe requirement by giving second readingtoa bylawamendment that wouldallowfor continuation of the existing use. That’s good newsfor residents of the building at 2245 Wilson Ave. Theywere concerned aboutthe riskandcostof adding a retailcomponent to a rebuild. Under thecity’s updated official community plan, the ground-floor commercial requirement would bepotentially “kicking out” 80 residentsontothestreet,” said resident Shaun Driver,who isamember of thestrata council.

Nathan Cullentold the Tri-City News there"isn’t apathway"inthe Local Government Act— the provinciallaw governingthe way B.C. municipalities run —fortheministryto penal izecivicadministrationsif theychoose notto schedule a byelection. Underthe Act,municipalitiesare requiredtohold a byelection "as soon aspracticable"whenacouncil seat becomes open, unless the vacancyisin thesame year asa generalelection. Coquitlam'smove tonot holda byelectionto replace Bonita Zarrillo,whoquit councillast Octoberafter winningamemberofparlia ment position,wasthe subject of acourt case this year. In June, Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick threw out onepartofa petition by Coquitlam residents Neal Nicholsonand Wayne Taylor that, if successful, would have seen Coquitlam voters headingtothe byelection polls just beforethegeneral civic vote— setfor Oct. 15. The secondpart ofher ruling camelast week. Nicholson,aformercity councillor,and Taylor sought anorder toquashthecity’s decisionnottohold a byelection. Theyalso soughtdeclarationsthat the cityfailed to appointachiefelection officer,and"failed and refused"toperformitsstatutoryobligation toconduct a byelection.

It also pointed outthe highcost to runa byelection —estimated at $200,000 thetypicallylowturnoutand thetiming beingclose to a generalelection.

"We cannow putthis behindusandallow ourstaffto focuson successfuldelivery of thegeneralelectionin Octoberwhile continuing to work withUBCM[Union of BC Municipalities] and the Ministryof Municipal Affairstoensurethat other municipalitiesdonotfind themselvesinthissimilar unenviablesituation," Steblinwrote."While we regretthis has resultedin courtproceedings, thecity hasfollowedtheministry's advicethroughoutand we remainof the viewthat there are strong policyandoperational considerations,and sufficient legislative authority,for our position."
'THUMBEDNOSE' Nicholsonand Taylor, however, contend Coquitlamfloutedthe law whilefive other municipalitiesin B.C. held byelections inlate2021andearly2022: Nanaimo, Vernon, Silverton, Wellsand Lytton— the latter ofwhichsawa wildfire burn thevillagetothegroundlast year.“We’re disappointed that council’s continued effortstodelayandthrow up excusestopostpone a byelectioneffectively resultedin us notgettingthis declaration—thecity made surethere would be notime forany action,” Nicholson statedinanews release.
Butinher reasonsfor judgment, released Aug. 18, Fitzpatrickconcluded"that it isnot appropriatetoproceed toconsiderthe remaining relief sought by thepetitioners"given the timeline. "Thedispute may still be 'realandnottheoretical,' but the declarations sought would have no 'practical utility' in resolvingtheissues inthe case,"shewrote.

Harley hadto re-learn howtowalk He hurt allthetime. Prescribed OxyContin painkillershelpedhim function. Buttheywere also addictive.

That decision repudiatedthepositiontheparty hadwhileinOpposition, andPremier John Horgan toldme at thetimethat it wasanexampleofshifting from “activism”toactuallygoverning.

TheEditor: Re: Booze in Port Moody parkshitsa hiccup (Tri-City News, Aug. 11,2022) I have just readthearticle in your Aug. 11paper about theproblemsshared by a resident withallowing alcohol consumptionin Port Moodyparks. Iwholeheartedly agree withthat residentthat allow ingdrinking ofalcohol in any Tri-Cities parksis going to causemore problems thanit is worth. IliveinCoquitlamand I wroteto mayorand council sayingI stronglydisagreed withallowing thispractice in ourparks. It will certainly cause more litterinthe parksand possibly causedisruptive behaviour by thosedrinking that couldaffectothers in the parksthat arethere to justenjoy the outdoors. Thecomment by the Port Moodyparks managerthat the Port Moody Policedid not objecttothenew bylaw doesn’tmeanthey were even awareoftheupcoming changebecause if they were awareIam sure they would have found valid reasonsto object toit. And saying that other municipalities have adopted allowing drinking alcohol in someoftheirparksisnot a valid reasonfor just going along withwhat theyare doing. Inmy opinion,drinking inparksisa recipe fortrouble andshouldnot be allowedinanyTri-Citiesparks if you wantthemto be safe and enjoyable for allthose whousethem. Thank goodness,in Port Moodyandin Coquitlam, theyare justtesting outthis new bylawuntil next spring andhopefully both municipalities will reconsider Jeannine Silvestrone Coquitlam Aletterwritersaysallowingalcoholinlocalparks isn’tworththeproblemsit mightcauselikemorelitter.

However, voters returned Liberal MP Ron McKinnon tothejob representing Coquitlam–PortCoquitlam in parliament. Dupontis known as a hard-working councillor who oftenbroughtupissues aboutpreservation of the environmentand trees, as wellasfood security,in discussionsaroundthecouncil table. However, in2020she was censured by council colleaguesfor disclosing confidentialinformation Shefollowedup with a lawsuit butthecensurewas upheld by the Supreme Court. At the conclusionofthe lawsuit, Dupontsaidshe would continueto represent her constituents “positively, and with my headheldhigh” following the decision by the judge. Recently, Dupont saidshe hopesa municipal codeof conductbeingdeveloped by the B.C.government will providemore awareness aboutthe unique roleof municipal politicians,aprojectshesupportedthrough her roleaspresidentof the Lower Mainland Local GovernmentAssociation (LMLGA). Shesaid newcomersto municipal politicsshould bepreparedtoacceptthe “risks”of workingin a field wherethereareno protectionslikethoseafforded most B.C. workers, including WorkSafeBC, bullyingand harassmentprotections,and BC Human Rightslegislation.

I’mhopefulto see uschang inginthat way,mimicking thecommunity in terms of what we represent.”
Despitenot seeking a third run at a PoCo council seat,Dupontsaidshe won’t disappearcompletely fromthe municipalarena, promisingtobringissuesto councilin thefuture, suchas social justiceandtheenvironment. “I care a lot about those things,” Dupontsaid. She addeded Port Coquitlam’s downtown core needsto be “safe”foreverybody, andmore inclusive, evenfor people who don’t have stable housing.

Thesuccessof thefirst cornholetournament ledtothe formation of the Goutsisson Family Foundationthat’s raised morethan$40,000forcolon cancer researchthrough variousprojectslike the Tour oftheTri-Cities,apassport bookletthat rewardsparticipantsfor visiting local businesses. Goutsissaidthe natureof colon cancer meansthediseasedoesn’t have thekind ofprofilethatattractsbig fundraising venturesoreven awareness campaigns. But accordingtothe Canadian Cancer Society,colorectal cancer willaccountfor10 percentofallnew cancer casesandit’s responsiblefor 11 percentof deathsfrom cancer. It affects manand womenalmost equally. “It’sashitty cancer,” Goutsissaid,addingthe associationofthedisease to cornhole seems a naturalfit, withallkindsof potentialfor fun with puns. Theuniversalaccessibility of cornholealsohelpslower barrierstotalking about colon cancer. “Anybody canplay cornhole,” Goutsissaid. “You just have to be abletothrow.” Butplayingit,andplayingit well aretwo different things.

Then theCOVID-19 pandemichitand public healthorderslimitedthe abilityof people to gather so they couldpitch beanbags through ahole,amongst otheractivities.
“You have toknow the distanceand the range,” Goutsissaid. Competitors scorethree pointsfor gettingthebag through thehole,andone point ifthe baglandson the surrounding board.Thefirst team of twoplayersto reach 21 points winsa game. According theAmerican CornholeOrganization,the sport’s worldwide governing bodysince 2005, cornhole originatedin Germany in the14th century,thenwas rediscovered in thehillsof Kentucky more than100 years ago.
