Thosewereamongthe solutionstoPoCo'shousing crisisasaffordabilitytopped thelistofissuesatanallcandidatesmeetingonMonday (Oct.3).

Theeventsponsoredby theTri-CitiesChamberof Commerce—andavailable forviewingonline—saw17 candidatessharetheirviews ofwhatwouldmakethecity better.

JustinSmith,theyoungest candidateonthehustings, saidhewantstobeableto liveandrepresentthecommunityinPortCoquitlam.

But"Icouldnotfinda placeinmybudget,"said Smith,whosaidhehasadegreeandafull-timejob.

"Wemaynotbeableto

Anothercandidate,Jami Watson,wholivesinLangley becauseofaffordability, butworksandisinvolved inPoCoschoolsandsports, saidthecitycandomore.

"PoCoiswhereIcall home,"shesaid.

Smith,meanwhile,sug-

Amongthoseare140 unitsatPrairieAvenue andFlint,TheAlex,which Pollocksaidshouldbeready

"Homelessnessandhousingarerelated.

Coun.NancyMcCurrach suggestedengagingpeople whoarehomelessinfinding solutionsandincreasingthe requirementforaffordable

CandidateIvankaCuljak, arealtor,saidashortage oflandcontributestothe challenges,butthecity couldpossiblybuyanapartmentandgetinvolvedin rentalhousing.TheCityof Vancouver,whichoperates underitsowncharter,does managerentalhousing.

However,thatideawas quicklyshotdownbyCoun. DeanWashington,whosaid it'snotthecity'sjobtobea landlord."I’mnotinfavour ofthat.That’snotthebusinesswe'rein,"Washington said.

Instead,Port Coquitlamcouncilshould advocateformorefunding forhousingfromthefederal andprovincialgovernments.

"Weneedtokeepputting theheatonprovincialand federalgovernmenttohelp uswiththat,"Washington said.

15candidateson stageatChamber's forum

MARIOBARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Afterfouryearsofdivision onPortMoodycouncil, 15candidateshopingto getelectedonOct.15all managedtoagreeonone thingatlastWednesday’s ChamberofCommerce all-candidates’forumatthe InletTheatre:Thenextfour yearshastobeaboutcollab oration.

Witheachother.

Andwithpartnerslike developers,non-profithousingproviders,businesses, neighbouringmunicipalities andseniorlevelsofgovern ment.

Inherclosingremarks, mayoralcandidateMeghan LahtisaidPortMoody’s residentshavemadeitclear: “Theywantustogetaway fromthedivisivenatureand negativitythat’splaguedus forthepastfouryears.”

Onlybyworkingtogether andlisteningtoresidents willPortMoodybeableto realizeacommonvisionfor itsfuture,saidcouncilcandi

ForDustinChelen,who’s alsorunningforcouncil,that happinesswillbecomprised ofthoughtfuldensification thatincludesaffordableand markethousing,aswellas officespacearoundthecity’s

twoSkyTrainstations.

But,headded,councillors havetoworktogetherto negotiatewithdevelopers toachievethosedesires, alongwithmoreparkspace, galleriesandevenanew library.

“Givinggoodguidanceto developersisgoingtogetthe citythebestdeal,”hesaid.

VeteranCoun.Diana Dilworth,who’sseeking re-election,agreed.

Shesaidthecitycan’t buildhousingorspacesfor incomingbusinesses;those havetobeconstructedby developers.

Dilworthpointedtothe city’spublicworksyardand oldfirehallsiteasprime

opportunitiestoforgepartnershipsthatcouldrealize significantgainsforthecity, likeanewlibrary,housing forseniorsandaffordable homesforfamilies.

However,shecautioned, “wecan’tdoitbyourselves. Wehavetoworkinpartnershipwithotherlevelsof government,developersand otherprovidersofaffordable housing.”

ButHunterMadsen,runningforhissecondfullterm oncouncil,saidPortMoody can’taffordtosellouttoo easily.

Hesaiddevelopers shouldbeexpectedtopay thefullcostofcivicamenitieslikeanewlibraryorperformingartscentreinreturn forbeingallowedtobuildin thecity.

“Civicamenitiesareallat capacity,andwehavelimitedcityland,”hesaid.

CouncilcandidateHaven Lurbieckisaidtobeableto negotiatepartnershipsfrom apositionofstrength,Port Moody’snextofficialcommunityplanhastoprovidea clearroadmapforthecity’s futuregrowthandcouncillorshavetobepreparedto standbyit.

“Itallstartsthere,”she said.

Topic: AnewnameforIndianArm?

Newnameisacalculatedrisk

Forapoliticalparty thatwonfourofthe lastsevenB.C.electionschangingtheparty nameseemslikeanodd move.

Butthatisexactlywhat theBCLiberalsareplanningtodoifenoughparty memberssupportchang ingthenameto“B.C. United”laterthisfall.

Theannouncementof theproposednewname wasquicklygreetedby manywithjokesaboutthe newtitlebeingmoreas sociatedwithsoccerthan politicsbuttheBCLiberal leadershipevidently thinksit’sanamethatwill catchonovertime.

Itseemsclearthepotentialnamechangeis beingspurredinpartby whatcouldbetheinevita blegrowthinthepolitical fortunesoftheprovincial

ConservativePartyand thegrowingproblemsassociatedwiththefederal LiberalPartyofCanada’s timeingovernment.

Theword“liberal” seemstoranklesome partymembers,whofear havingthewordaspartof thepartynameisaturnoffforright-of-centre voters.

Indeed,itcanbe arguedthatinthelast provincialelection, ConservativePartycandidatesreceivedenough votes(mostofwhich wouldhavelikelygoneto theBCLiberalshadthe Conservativesnotbeen intherace)inridings inAbbotsford,Langley, ChilliwackandVernon thatallowedNDPcandidatestopostnarrowvictoriesinplacestheirparty hadneverwonbefore.

TheConservativeParty alsofinishedastrongsecondtotheBCLiberalsin bothPeaceRiverridings andtheircandidateinone oftheKamloopsridings helpedmakeitavery closeracebetweenthe victoriousBCLiberalsand theNDP.

Thetworecentbyelectionsalsoshowed noticeablesupportfor theConservativeParty, oratleastintheriding ofSurreySouth,where itreceivedalmost13per centofthevote.TheBC Liberalswontheriding easily,butthevoterturnoutwasminuscule.

Clearly,theBCLiberals havetobenervousabout thepotentialgrowthof theConservativeParty brandinsubsequentelections.Hencetheproposed “neutral”namechange,

tosomethingthatmight reachouttovoterswho maybegettingtiredofthe Liberal“brand.”

Ofcourse,changingthe nameisnotwithoutpotentialrisk.

Rebrandingaproductis notanovernightexercise. Itcantakealongtime, andtheBCLiberalshave nocontroloverthetiming ofthenextelection.

Thepartycouldbe caughtflat-footedbyan earlyelectioncall.

SomeBCLiberalofficialsarguethecurrent nameisconfusingfor somevoters.

Soevenifpartymembersendorsethename, itisfarfromclearwhich namewillbeontheballot comethenextelection.
