PORT MOODY COUNCIL

New mayor heralds an era of change MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Jacob Gillis, a former student at Terry Fox Secondary School in Port Coquitlam, has created two pieces of Coast Salish art for his alma mater that he hopes will spark reconciliation. See the story on Page 9. MARIO BARTEL/TCN

“Change has come.” With those words, veteran Port Moody councillor Meghan Lahti took the oath of office from Provincial Court Judge Gregory M. Rideout and pulled on the ceremonial chain as the city’s new mayor Tuesday at Inlet Theatre. In her inaugural address, Lahti pledged to bring “positive change at city hall through good governance” that will practise “fairness, due process and transparency.” She said those elements will be critical if Port Moody is to move forward on such issues as the revitalization of

its waterfront, development of the downtown, the expansion of park space and other amenities, and enhancing opportunities for the arts, as well as climate change and reconciliation. “We have to turn away from the election mindset and lean into the governance mindset,” Lahti said. “We’re here representing all the stakeholders of Port Moody.” Then, putting her words into action, Lahti announced an immediate pause to all of the city’s current committees until the new council completes its strategic plan so their work can better align with council’s objectives. As well, new standing committees will be see

ISIS wife is back home DIANE STRANDBERG

dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, like Karen Van Gilder, who’s president of the Port Moody branch, are at busy locations around the Tri-Cities for their annual poppy campaign, which raises money for programs that support veterans and their families as well as promote remembrance. The effort continues until Nov. 11. For more information about the poppy campaign, go to mypoppy.ca. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

PORT MOODY COUNCIL

Mayor opens door every Wednesday continued from front page

formed to guide council in areas like strategic priorities and governance. “Council is better served by better, more thoughtful discussions,” Lahti said. The new mayor also announced she’ll be opening

her doors to the community every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to hear their concerns and suggestions. “Anyone is welcome, whether you’re a friend or a foe,” she said of the initiative, which begins immediately. In fact, change was a constant theme as each mem-

ber of the new council made brief inaugural remarks. But it was newly minted councillor Callan Morrison who referenced the most striking difference from the previous four years when council comprised three men and four women; he’s now the only male.

“I look forward to working with these women,” he said, to a round of applause. Another council newcomer, Samantha Agtarap, said the group looks to bring “a new era of collaboration and unity” after a term that was often marked by rancour and divisiveness.

Kimberly Polman is back on Canadian soil after languishing in a Syrian detention camp for three years. The 50-year-old woman who once attended Douglas College in Coquitlam was flown to Abbotsford, B.C., to be with family, according to her lawyer. She later appeared at Chilliwack Provincial Court and was released on a strict set of conditions — including a promise to take counselling aimed at countering violent extremism. Lawrence Greenspon told the Tri-City News that Polman was arrested at the airport Montreal last Wednesday, Oct. 26, but no charges were laid. Polman will be asked to post a peace bond of between $500 and $1,000 and agree to certain conditions, Greenspon said. “She was arrested on a peace bond. She was not charged criminally,” he explained. “She was then transported to B.C. and she already has or is about to

be going to go before a justice of the peace and she is supposed to be released on a recognizance.” The links to the City of Coquitlam date back several years when Polman was a student at Douglas College. Polman, who won a Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Award in 2011, later married an ISIS fighter online and turned herself in to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in 2019. During her detention, Polman wrote repeatedly to authorities about the conditions in the Roj camp, and gained the backing of Human Rights Watch and the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner. Greenspon confirmed Polman has health concerns, but he wouldn’t go into specifics due to privacy. “The strongest factor which led to her repatriation was her health,” said Greenspon. “She’s not in good health at all. She’s in dire condition and it was really that which was the engine behind her being repatriated.”

HIGH KNOLL FIRE

Park not fully open after fire Cause of the fire that started Oct. 1 still undetermined DIANE STRANDBERG

dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Minnkehada Regional Park that saw 14 hectares of forest scorched by a human-caused fire in early October has partially reopened to the public. According to Metro Vancouver, which is responsible for the 200-hectare park, the blaze that started Oct. 1 is now “fully extinguished” after several days of rain. The following trails will re-open — fully or in part: • Lodge Trail • Meadow Trail • Log Walk • Quarry Trail However, all other trails remain closed indefinitely

while crews removed trees; conduct archaeological, environmental and safety assessments; and develop a restoration plan for the areas damaged by the fire. Meanwhile, Oliver Road is currently open to pedestrians and cyclists, but it still remains closed to vehicle traffic. On Oct. 1, BC Wildfire Service, Metro Vancouver and the Coquitlam Fire/Rescue Department responded to reports of a fire in the High Knoll area of the park, which grew to 14 hectares in size. Crews worked long hours to get the fire under control, despite extremely dry conditions and challenging terrain. Following the recent rainfall, there are no remaining hot spots burning in the park, according to a Metro Vancouver press release. The cause of the fire is still under investigation,

but is believed to be human caused. Efforts to put out the blaze over the past several weeks earned kudos from Metro Vancouver officials. “We are incredibly proud of the firefighting crews who battled this wildfire on steep and challenging terrain,” said Sav Dhaliwal, chair of the Metro Vancouver board of directors. “The response to this wildfire was truly a collaborative effort, with ground crews, supported by helicopters, working to protect this incredible regional park while preserving public and crew safety.” John McEwen, chair of the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Committee and Anmore’s mayor, called the park a “gem” and expressed pleasure at the fact some trails will soon be open to the public. But he cautioned that cleaning up after the wildfire

will take time. “There is still a lot of work ahead to restore the park and I strongly urge the public to stay out of areas that remain closed and present significant safety hazards.” The Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation, in partnership with the Minnekhada Park Association, has launched an emergency fundraising appeal to support restoration efforts. The foundation will be matching all donations up to $10,000. Since 1981, Minnekhada Regional Park has been a popular spot in Coquitlam for residents to enjoy a hike and watch for wildlife. Adjacent to the Pitt River, the park and its marsh support important local ecosystems and extensive bear habitat. The park also features Minnekhada Lodge — once part of a historic 1930s country estate.

Property taxes waived for 48 groups, city staff to review policy Coquitlam city hall will take a look at what groups are getting a tax break, and why. Last week, council OK’d permissive tax exemptions for 48 properties in Coquitlam — costing a total of $1.74 million, or a 1.05 per cent tax impact — as

part of its five-year policy that ends this year. Council voted to extend the policy another year for staff to make policy recommendations. Under Coquitla's current bylaw, permissive tax exemptions must by passed by Oct. 31.

The 2023 permissive tax exemptions are as follows: • 31 for places of worship • six for non-profit organizations • six for residential care facilities • five for recreational lands The city did not provide

a breakdown of the groups in its reports before council on Sept. 26 and Oct. 24. Last year, the tax loss totalled $1.8 million, or a 1.08 per cent tax impact. Permissive tax exemptions are allowed under Section 224 of the provincial Community Charter for

properties that are owned by a charitable, philanthropic or non-profit corporation. As well, under Section 220 of the Charter, the adjacent land surrounding a place of worship can be tax free. However, municipalities

in B.C. are not obliged to grant exemptions. The aim of permissive tax exemptions is to encourage development that benefits the communitysupport non-profit groups, bolster economic spin-offs and attract new residents and businesses.

POLICING

RCMP out with four-year vision for detachment Coquitlam Mounties are not only responding to more community calls for mental health support, they’re also getting more help for their own mental health struggles. That was the message coming from last Monday’s council meeting as the detachment’s superintendent rolled out the Coquitlam RCMP’s four-year vision for servicing the city. In his presentation on Oct. 24, Supt. Keith Bramhill said the 2023–2026 strategic plan, which was unanimously OK’d by council, focuses in on four pillars to move forward, including how to support officers in the fourth largest RCMP detachment in Canada. Bramhill said the COVID19 pandemic burnt out

SUPT. KEITH BRAMHILL

many Mounties, many of whom responded to mental health calls, and left officers “taxed” physically and mentally. He said the detachment is now offering assistance to RCMP who are on temporary leave, so they can return to the job quicker, and he is

trying to bolster morale by bringing back the OIC bravery awards and delivering gift cards for jobs well done. Mayor Richard Stewart said today’s mental health stressors are “more pronounced. We saw it during COVID, these unprecedented levels of stresses,” the mayor said, noting the city and fire department have put a focus on employees’ mental health. “It has not been easy in law enforcement in the past few years coming through COVID and everything else,” added Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the city’s Community Safety Advisory Committee, on mental health. “I’m really sort of concerned when I hear some of the stories from

our officers and some of the treatment they’ve received in public.” Hodge also referenced the recent murder of a Burnaby Mountie by a homeless person. But while “Supporting Our People” is a key plank for the detachment over the next four years under the new plan, so are “Partnering with the Community,” “Promoting Public Safety” and “Targeting Criminal Activity,” the superintendent said, noting that the four goals align with the federal RCMP’s Vision150, and community feedback. Coquitlam RCMP wants to forge new relationships with stakeholders, improve educational campaigns and outreach, and zero in

on prolific offenders and hotspots. Bramhill said he’d like to see more youth liaison officers in areas that the detachment serves: Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Anmore, Belcarra and Kwikwetlem First Nation. “Clearly, coming out of COVID, we’ve seen a real uptick in youth violence and youth crime,” he said, noting the incidents that took place this summer at rec centres and parks by kids as young as 12 years old. “Frankly, I haven’t seen [that] in a long time.” The consultation for the new strategic plan also revealed a need for better communication by the detachment, especially in terms of social media posts. As for “Targeting Criminal

Activity,” Bramhill said Coquitlam has seen its share of Lower Mainland gang crimes, including murders and subsequent torching of suspect vehicles. Coquitlam RCMP is working with federal and provincial agencies, and hopes for a coordinated gang-suppression team and strategy around prevention to come out soon. Bramhill said he’d like to relaunch the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program geared for Grade 5 students as youth are often lured into gang life; gang members “prey on vulnerable people who are marginalized in their homes,” he said. Bramhill will return in January to update council.

TERRY FOX SECONDARY SCHOOL

Indigenous art is a step toward reconciliation Mural and hanging sculpture the work of former student DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Beautiful works of Indigenous art now adorn Terry Fox Secondary in Port Coquitlam. Principal David Starr hired a former student to do two art pieces to decorate the school's main foyer and hallway, and now, he's calling Jacob Gillis a "genius." In 2020, Gillis, who is of Coast Salish ancestry on his father's side, painted a stunning image of a raven, the school's mascot, and a fox on a concrete pole. He followed up this past summer with a hanging sculpture of 18 wooden panels depicting a powerful raven for the main hallway. Together, the pieces are a stunning legacy for the high school. "The symbolism is not accidental and Jake was a genius in its design and application," recalled Starr. The school is working on goals to toward reconciliation and native artwork in the school's interior is one of

many initiatives, Starr said. "We have committed the school to Call to Action 63 from the TRC [Truth and Reconciliation] Calls to Action. "In particular we want to build student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect," Starr wrote in an email. Gillis was the right person for helping the school work

toward reconciliation from an artistic perspective. He has been exploring his native heritage and Indigenous artistic styles since he was in middle school. In 2017, Gillis created artwork for a Telus electrical box. The two pieces of art he created for Terry Fox Secondary; however, they were extremely labour in-

tensive. Gillis had to figure out how to turn his flat drawing of a raven and a fox into a round painting for the 12foot house pole.

USING A PATTERN

He created a pattern on a large piece of paper and then etched it into the circular pole, followed up with painting and sealing it so the artwork would be long

lasting. The second piece is made up of 18 wooden panels that were laser printed from a sketch Gillis drew, divided into squares, painted and then hung from a piece of steel. "It's going to be more welcoming for Aboriginal students who come here," said Gillis. The 23-year-old artist is mostly self taught, although

he went to Native Education College to learn jewellery making. Gillis said he has been drawing Indigenous images of animals for a number of years — the raven is his favourite. He's also designing artwork for T-shirts and is hoping to parlay his skills into a business one day. "My dad bought me a little pendant. I drew and redrew the image, and it went from there," Gillis recalled. He has adapted to bigger images and uses a laser printer to turn his sketches into larger pieces. Because his printer can only work to a 12-by-12-inch size, he has to come up with creative ways to make larger artworks. Starr credited Gillis with some ingenuity to figure out how to do the two large pieces at the school. "He had to design a very clever system of tiles and wires to make it work and the result is very cool," Starr said. Gillis is pleased he was paid to do the work and said he was able to buy a car with his earnings. Now, he wants to learn more about Indigenous art and work his way toward being a respected artist.

CYCLING

Author explores the province from her saddle Latest book features 58 rides on Vancouver Island MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Colleen MacDonald loves exploring British Columbia on two wheels. She's making it easier for others to do the same. The Belcarra author has just published her third guide to cycling routes around the province. Let’s Go Biking: Vancouver Island, Gulf Island and Sunshine Coast is a companion to MacDonald’s guides to routes around Metro Vancouver and the Okanagan. All three volumes are printed iterations of her popular online blog letsgobiking.net. MacDonald said going by bike — whether it’s to see the sights around you, run errands around town or get into better physical shape — is getting easier every year as municipal and regional governments invest more money into building safe, accessible routes to encourage active transportation.

Belcarra resident Colleen MacDonald has authored three guides to cycling routes around British Columbia, including Metro Vancouver, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

But finding those routes, and learning how to link them together for a good day out in the fresh air, can still be a bit of a challenge, especially for newcomers to cycling or families looking for a safe adventure. MacDonald said technology has been a boon for

finding new routes. Apps like Strava and Trailforks allow users to tap into vast databases of local riding knowledge as cyclists log their own rides. She also visits the areas she’s documenting to talk to riders, visit bike shops and traverse some of the

routes herself because it’s only when the rubber hits the road that she can glean the real insider knowledge about the best coffee stops and most scenic viewpoints. MacDonald said cyclists are only too happy to share their insights as the more of them there are, the better

it is for all of them; when it comes to biking, there truly is safety in numbers. “It’s about getting people educated about where to go on their bikes,” she said. MacDonald’s latest book features 58 rides, from five kilometres to more than 75 km, from flat, scenic trails

along old rail beds to city greenways to rugged mountain routes. There’s even rides geared toward e-cyclists. Of course renowned Vancouver Island routes like the Galloping Goose and Lochside get prominent billing, but MacDonald’s thirst for local insider knowledge also uncovers several little spur trails and linkages to take you off the well-beaten multi-use path. “You can explore,” she said. “It’s amazing when you can find new places.” Still, challenges remain. MacDonald said signage can sometimes be lacking, leaving cyclists new to a route bewildered whether they should be turning left or right at a junction. That’s why her books are formatted in a way that allows their colourful maps to be handily tucked into a handlebar bag for quick reference. It’s all about making the experience of exploration by bike as easy and comfortable as possible, MacDonald said. The payoff, she added, is worth it. “You’re right out in the elements. You can smell everything, you can hear everything.”

OPINION

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

B.C. wise to cut Olympic bid

he B.C. government’s decision to not financially support the 2030 Winter Olympics speaks to how far the whole Olympics “thing” may be evolving into a sunset industry. Few cities and countries are even interested in hosting the Games, whether they are of the summer variety or the winter kind. The B.C. decision leaves just Sapporo, Japan, and Salt Lake City in the bidding for the 2030 Olympics, although Salt Lake City says it would prefer to host the 2034 Games. And Sapporo’s bid may be in danger as the fallout continues from allegations of corruption tied to the Tokyo Summer Olympics.

So many cities dropped out of bidding that just two cities — Los Angeles and Paris — were left standing to host the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics. By contrast, there was genuine excitement in the run-up to the 2010 Winter Olympics as eight cities submitted bids. One budget line item gave the current B.C. government pause for particular concern this time around. Security costs for the 2030 Olympics bid were hovering around $1 billion, but there were fears within government that the cost could grow and grow. B.C.’s share of the total costs associated with the 2030 bid would come close to $3 billion by 2030, according to a govern-

ment document. There seemed to be little buzz associated with the 2030 bid. When it was first announced, the reaction of the B.C. government and Premier John Horgan was tepid at best. So when the axe fell, it was not surprising in the least. The First Nations involved are understandably disappointed by the government’s decision and regard it as a major setback for reconciliation efforts. Perhaps it is, but I also have to wonder whether spending huge amounts of money in impoverished First Nations communities to deal with such real-life issues as safe drinking water and a guaranteed energy supply may be money better spent.

In any event, the government has clearly concluded the expenditure of a massive amount of money in such a fashion doesn’t make it on its list of priorities. It is also worth noting that the incoming premier, David Eby, was an ardent opponent of the 2010 Olympics while he was a crusading civil liberties lawyer. Clearly, the Olympic movement is waning. The 2022 Beijing Olympics attracted the lowest-ever television ratings in the U.S., fewer and fewer cities are bidding to host them and they are increasingly tied to corruption and ballooning debt. Sounds like B.C. got out just in time. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

ENERGY PRICES

Tax windfall profits The Editor: After a year of war and uncertainty sent global energy prices (and the fossil fuel industry’s profits) through the roof, pressure is growing for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to introduce an oil and gas Windfall Profits Tax. So far, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has dismissed the idea, but there’s actually plenty of precedent for it — both at home and abroad. The Liberals are currently moving forward with a windfall tax on unexpected profits that banks and life

JUSTIN TRUDEAU

insurers made during the pandemic.

Why not apply the same logic to the fossil fuel industry and invest the revenue in clean energy and green job creation? The European Union just passed its own Windfall Profits Tax on oil and gas firms. They’re using it to provide immediate relief for everyday people struggling with skyrocketing energy prices and invest in clean energy. Trudeau and Guilbeault claim to be climate leaders. It’s time for them to act like it. Irina Rus Burnaby

M E N TA L H E A LT H

RCMP officer’s death should be a call to action The Editor: It’s no secret that the laudable members of our hard-working police forces continue to provide exemplary services to the residents of this country. It’s also no longer a secret that mental health issues that result in criminal behaviour are not the exclusive jurisdiction of the police. There are such things as police cars with mental

health nurses accompanying the police member, which is at least a step in the right direction, although, as usual, not nearly numerous enough to address the desperate need. Having spoken to two police officers attending my condo complex on a “health check,” I asked them about how the mandates of the police to address mental health issues.

Their response was that the rules governing police jurisdiction are pretty much written in stone, and individual members haven’t a hope in making necessary changes. The incredibly sad passing of the Burnaby RCMP officer recently must be the impetus needed to make these changes ASAP. Penny Oyama Burnaby

MOVEMBER

Better health for men is just a whisker away MARIO BARTEL

mbartel@tricitynews.com

Port Coquitlam firefighter Will Brodie admits topics like mental health and cancer rarely come up in conversation at his fire hall. But that changes every November. That’s when about 200 firefighters from around Metro Vancouver put their

upper lips on the line for their annual Movember challenge, a worldwide movement that uses the cultivation and grooming of facial hair to spark conversations about mental and physical health issues specific to men. The effort also raises money to help find cures for afflictions like prostrate cancer along with bolstering supports for mental well being.

The Port Coquitlam Firefighters Charitable Society kicked off its 11th challenge on Tuesday with Brodie, its president, going under the skilled blade of Darcy Cameron, chief chopper at the Gentlemen’s House of Grooming on Mary Hill Road. With several colleagues along for support, Brodie said it’s an important time for firefighters to confront some of the health issues

they face in the day-to-day execution of their jobs. “We’re exposed to a lot of carcinogens,” he said, adding mental and emotional traumas are also a growing concern in his profession. In fact, Brodie said, firefighters are three times more likely to die from prostrate and testicular cancers than men in other professions. Since jumping aboard the Movember initiative that had its origins in Australia,

the society has raised more than $150,000 with firefighters from across the Lower Mainland participating in various fundraising events. There’s a Beer & Burger night on Nov. 4 at the Bennett Craft and Kitchen and a massive hockey tournament Nov. 25 that will bring together 16 teams at Planet Ice in Coquitlam. Brodie said the events don’t just help the cause: the camaraderie and com-

petitive spirit cultivated among the firefighters as they compare the progress of their moustaches helps lower the barriers that might otherwise stifle heartfelt conversations. To support the firefighters in their month-long quest for moustache mana, go to the charitable society’s website, portcoquitlamfirefighters. com, or check out the Port Coquitlam Fire Department’s page on movember.ca.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Persian community protests Rally expresses support for Masha Amini KYLE BALZER

kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Mahsa Amini was 22 years old when she died in police custody in Iran, allegedly for wearing her hijab too loose. The September incident, as well as several other recent deaths involving young Iranians in the 40 days since, sparked thousands of protests and demonstrations around the world in calling for human rights justice. In Coquitlam, the Persian community held a vigil and rally last Wednesday night (Oct. 26) in hopes others can show support in the ongoing fight for women’s equality. Those in attendance at Town Centre Park shouted in unison, “Iranians, make your choice. Canada, hear our voice.” The call is one of action to those living abroad in exile to stand up for their country against the Islamic Republic regime, while encouraging Tri-Cities residents, and Canadians everywhere, to stand in solidarity for their fellow human being. Other chants included

“Freedom for Iran” and “Justice for Mahsa.” Supporters also lit candles by a portrait of Amini in her memory on the TD Community Plaza stage, as well as sang songs. Amini has become the face of the current global protest and fight for women’s equality and human rights. She died at the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Guidance Patrol — the morality police — after she was allegedly arrested for not wearing her hijab properly. While Iranian police have denied any mistreatment, the United Nations (UN) human rights office was called in to investigate. It found police had expanded their patrols in recent months and verified videos of women being slapped in the face, struck with batons and thrown into police vans for wearing the hijab too loosely. Amini was Kurdish — an ethnic group of nearly 12 million people hailing from the Kurdistan region, which includes northwestern Iran, southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq and northern Syria. She was buried in her home city of Saqqez, where protests erupted after her funeral.

Police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators and arrested dozens. In Vancouver, weekly protests have taken place at the art gallery calling in Iran to drop the mandatory hijab law, which came into effect in 1981, as well as an end to the regime’s brutal treatment of prisoners. On Sept. 21, Iranians

experienced a near-total internet blackout. The loss of internet access made it more difficult for demonstrators to communicate and arrange protests. Massive protests have been held around the world since Amini’s death to show solidarity with the demonstrators in Iran and to denounce the Islamic republic.

Did you know? Not all trees lose their leaves in the fall. Evergreen trees are year-round trees, meaning they keep their leaves all year. Many of our native trees are evergreen, including Western red cedar, Douglas fir and Western hemlock. To see some beautiful fall colour, we recommend a walk in Mundy Park! You’ll see the yellow leaves of the Vine maple peeking through the towering stems of the Douglas fir trees.

Residential Indoor Wood Burning Bylaw 1303: New Indoor Wood Burning Requirements

Invasion of the stink bugs DIANE STRANDBERG

dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

If you operate a residential indoor wood burning appliance in Metro Vancouver, Residential Indoor Wood Burning Emission Regulation Bylaw No.1303 (Bylaw 1303) applies to you.

What you need to know: Starting September 15, 2022, before operating a residential indoor wood burning appliance, residents must: •

Submit a declaration of Best Burning Practices

•

Eligible wood burning appliances include: •

Wood stoves and inserts that meet emission standards

•

Appliances that do not meet emission standards (such as open ﬁreplace) but are either: 

The sole source of heat in the residence



Operated exclusively with manufactured ﬁre logs

How to submit your declaration and register your appliances: •

Use the QR code, or go to metrovancouver.org and search ‘Residential Wood Burning’

•

Call 604-451-6677 or email riwb@metrovancouver.org to request a paper form

Bylaw 1303 aims to reduce the impact on public health and the environment due to smoke from residential indoor wood burning. Residents who use wood-burning appliances must use “Best Burning Practices” as deﬁned in Bylaw 1303. Metro Vancouver offers a wood stove exchange program to reduce emissions from wood-burning appliances. For more information, go to metrovancouver.org and search ‘Wood Stove Exchange’.

It’s in your home that matters most.

They’re creepy, crawly and have appear to be invading Tri-City homes. Called a “stink bug” — or brown marmorated stink bug — because they emit a strong odour when crushed, the shield-shaped critters appear to be more frequent visitors this year due to unprecedented warm fall weather. One Coquitlam resident is getting a bit fed up with the insect, posting on social media that his house has been plagued by them. Kevin Cole told the TriCity News he finds the bugs “creepy,” and he and his wife have killed dozens in the last few weeks. “These damn bugs are everywhere!” wrote Cole on a Coquitlam social media page about the buggy nuisance. “What can we do if any-

STINK BUG

thing to stop them from getting in our house other than keeping all windows and doors closed all day and night? “We’ve killed so many. I even had them fly onto me in Port Kells where I work,” added the 30-year-Coquitlam resident and machine shop worker. His post attracted more than 100 comments with others sharing their stories of the ugly bug. One poster said the bugs were covering their window screens and living in their kitchen cookware despite efforts “to keep them outside.” “They are just horrible

and the air smells like them, and so did my laundry. I hope this does not happen next year!” Cole said he even found a stink bug in his jeans pocket and one flew into him when he walked into his Port Kells office. According to the B.C. government, stink bugs are an invasive species. Originally from Asia, they hitchhiked a ride to North America, likely in a shipping container. It is a very serious pest that feeds on more than 100 different plant species, according to the province. In 2015, it was first found in B.C., and has been moving into the Okanagan, the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. The B.C. government advises residents looking to get rid of the bugs to remove them by hand, sweeping or with a shop vacuum. To keep them from getting into the home, seal off access points with a good quality silicone or silicone–latex caulking.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Foreign students return DIANE STRANDBERG

dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

More than 1,000 students from Europe, Asia and South America are studying at elementary, middle and high school classrooms in the TriCities this fall. School District 43 is welcoming students back to classes as foreign travel restrictions ease. But a boost in the number of students arriving to study here, while good news for local schools, is putting stress on the number of homestays available for foreign students. International Education principal Geoff Johnston said the district is facing challenges in finding places to live for international students and is encouraging Tri-City residents to open their homes to these students. District families that are

interested in applying to become a homestay can find more information on www. internationaled.com under ‘Forms,’ he said.

ON THE REBOUND

Meanwhile, the district is slowly seeing the international education program rebound. The students pay $16,500 in annual fees to go to school here, money that goes toward hiring teachers and paying for cultural grants, with surplus funds used to smooth financial ups and downs in school operational budgets. Most of the students (80 per cent) are high school students, with about 11 per cent attending middle schools and nine per cent at the elementary level. “While our program is slightly under pre-pandemic levels, we are rebuilding and expect a robust summer program —we’ve already had inquiries” said Johnston.

And while students from Asia continue to dominate the countries sending students here, Johnston said this year’s crop of foreign students is the most diverse, with students from 30 countries attending classes in the district. Approximately 20 per cent of students arriving here are from Europe, where the district is making an effort to market to students seeking to study in Canada. “To maintain our healthy position in the global market for international students, we are targeting growing markets like South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Italy, Spain and Germany, in addition to new partnerships in Mexico and Latin American countries,” Johnston said. “This is being accomplished with a mix of in-person and virtual participation in education and partnership fairs around the world, as well as connecting with local agents,” Johnston said.

SPECIAL OFFER & SAVINGS JUST FOR ATTENDEES

Halloween is just passed, and Remembrance Day is on the horizon. But for some Tri-Cities residents that enjoy the holidays, party plans for Christmas and/or New Year’s are imminent — and they may include special drinks on the menu. Operation Red Nose (ORN) is gearing up to help holiday revellers get home safely across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody this year, and is making a public call for volunteers. Drivers with the by-donation service pick up pas-

sengers that have requested a ride from their party and drive them home in their own vehicles while another driver follows them to take the volunteers to the next ride. The non-profit organization’s 2022 schedule is currently as follows: • Dec. 2 and 3 • Dec. 9 and 10 • Dec. 16 and 17 • Dec. 31 (New Year’s Eve) ORN’s donations typically bring in about $20,000 each year for Kid-Sport Tri-Cities; a total of $16,176 was collected in 2020. The money is used for grants to families in need to help them pay for sport registration fees. “While we are not able to take reservations, if you call two hours before you need to be picked up, we should be able to get to you within

that time,” ORN Tri-Cities website reads. “It’s recommended that you have a back-up plan too, in case we’re not able to meet all of the demand.” In 2020, 436 rides were provided in the Tri-Cities — a 20 per cent decrease compared to 543 in 2019 and eight per cent from 473 in 2018. Drivers will operate each scheduled night this year between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Communities considered out-of-reach for drivers may include Vancouver, Surrey, Langley and Mission. The number for local party-goers to request a ORN Tri-Cities driver is 778-8666673. For more information, and to learn how to become a volunteer, visit ORN’s website or email them directly at tricitiesorn@gmail.com.

CENSUS

Immigrants boost population in the Tri-Cities KYLE BALZER

kbalzaer@tricitynews.com

It appears thousands of new immigrants to Canada have become fond of the TriCities to live, work and play. The latest national census stats show 11,960 people that identified themselves

as immigrants moved to Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra between 2016 and 2021. The number adds to a current total of 100,210 immigrants that have settled in the region, which make up 40.6 per cent of the TriCities population.

As well, more than 25,400 immigrants have moved to the northeast Metro Vancouver area in the last decade, since 2011, according to the census. A total of 69,220 newcomers — nearly 70 per cent — originate from Asia, with the Chinese and Iranian communities representing

the majority at 23.3 and 14.7 per cent respectively. Meanwhile, 2,145 Americans from the U.S. make up 2.14 per cent of Tri-Cities’ immigrant population. As well, 1.77 per cent of new local citizens (1,770) hail from South American countries like

Brazil, Colombia, Guyana and Peru. The census said there are also 18,620 immigrants from Europe, with the majority from the United Kingdom (4,550 people), and almost 4,000 from Africa. Of the immigrant population, 57,605 were economic immigrants “selected for

their ability to contribute to Canada’s economy through their ability to meet labour market needs,” according to the census, or “to own and manage or to build a business, to make a substantial investment, to create their own employment or to meet specific provincial or territorial labour market needs.”

ARTS NOTES

Canadian premiere staged by re:Naissance Opera A Coquitlam native who founded an opera company is staging a Canadian premiere this month in Vancouver. Debi Wong of re:Naissance Opera is mounting the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera Angel’s Bone at IndieFest, which the Yale University graduate also founded. The show, which runs from Nov. 25 to 27 at The Annex Theatre (823 Seymour St.), tells a tale of two young angels who fall to Earth. It contains mature themes about child and youth trafficking and sexual exploitation. “Many people don’t realize that trafficking and sexual exploitation of youth happens in our local communities at an alarming rate,” Wong said in a news release. “It is the result of many intertwining systems and behaviours that we all unknowing contribute to: racial and gender stereotypes, hyper sexualization of women and girls, and toxic masculinity."

• Friday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m. (pre-show chat at 6:30 p.m.) • Saturday, Nov. 26 at 7:30 p.m. (pre-show chat at 6:30 p.m.) • Sunday, Nov. 27 at 2 p.m. (pre-show chat at 1 p.m.) For tickets, go to angelsbone.eventbrite.ca.

DONALD STORY DEBI WONG

“We hope Angel’s Bone will help people recognize how these issues perpetuate dangerous power dynamics that make it easy for children to be unseen and at-risk in our societies,” Wong added. There’s also another Tri-City connection to the opera: Winona Myles, a multi-disciplinary artist from the Secwépemc Nation who portrays the girl angel, grew up performing in the Tri-Cities. The performance dates and times are as follows:

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Centaurs’ twin linemen are double trouble Keeping them fed means two trips to Costco a week MARIO BARTEL

mbartel@tricitynews.com

Blocks and tackles by William and Walter Zheng are brought to you by Costco. The twin brothers who play for the Centennial Centaurs varsity football team weigh in at 315 and 250 pounds respectively. So, it’s little wonder their parents, Sarah Wu and Tommy Zheng, head to the big box retailer twice a week to restock the refrigerator and pantry. “We eat a lot at meals,” said Walter, a defensive tackle with a taste for steak, potatoes and rice. In fact, it was the twins’ impressive size even when they were younger that got them involved in football in the first place. When they were in Grade 5 and already weighed 160 pounds, a coach at Coquitlam Minor Football suggested they try the game. Their parents readily agreed, hoping the intense physical activity might temper the impressive appetites of their growing boys. William and Walter said

William and Walter Zheng are hulking linemen for the Centennial Centaurs’ varsity football team. They’re also twins. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

they took to football immediately. But they kept growing so their coach put them on the offensive and defensive lines. Though Walter said he originally wanted to be a running back, he enjoys the hitting and tackling in the trenches. “There’s no glory in the line,” he said. “But when you do something right, the coaches tell you.” William, a right guard and

nose tackle, said he likes being able to create holes for his teammates on the offence to break upfield while snuffing out drives when he plays defence. “I’m tough. I’m strong. I can do my job,” he said. Playing together through minor football and since Grade 9 at Centennial has cemented the Zheng twins’ brotherly bond. “We can watch out for each other’s back,” said

Walter. Their coach all through high school, Dino Geremia, said the Zhengs seem to have an innate ability to know what the other is doing on the field. “We know they have good communication,” he said. “We don’t have to worry about them.” William said they often speak to each other in Chinese during a game, calling out for support, let-

ting each other know their assignment without tipping off their opponents. Well, except for one player at Vancouver College who understands them, he added. The Zhengs also push each other. On and off the field. During the season, William and Walter work out together in the garage of their Coquitlam home for two hours before school

three days a week. In the off-season, they up their training regimen to six days a week. William said he’s stronger in the bench press, but Walter’s a faster runner. “We motivate each other,” Walter said. Sometimes, though, their competitive nature boils over, whether it’s reaching for the last Costco chocolate chip cookie or missing a tackle in practice. “We get mad at each other,” William said. But the hard feelings never last, Walter said. “We calm down, figure out what went wrong and learn from our mistake.” Geremia said the twins’ work ethic is without equal. They’re always striving to get better, asking the coaches for extra work. And their gregarious natures make them a hit with teammates. “They’re characters,” he said. “It’s really good to have them break the ice.” Those qualities should help set up the Zhengs to continue their football careers at the post-secondary level. They’ve already had discussions with McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., but both William and Walter see
