The city of Coquitlam has been granted leave to appeal an order from the B.C. Utilities Commission authorizing FortisBC to abandon a decommissioned gas pipeline running through city lands in one of the busiest infrastructure corridors in Metro Vancouver.

The order, handed down April 15, 2019, had directed the city and

FortisBC to share any removal costs should Coquitlam request the pipeline’s removal to install municipal infrastructure along Como Lake Avenue.

The dispute is over a 5.5-kilometre gas pipeline built in 1958 along the busy thoroughfare.

On Oct. 16, 2015, nearly five decades later, the BCUC approved the construction of a new pipeline that would pass along the same route, through Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver, and leave the old line permanently decommissioned. see

NEWS IN TRI-CITIES COVID-19

Seniors home outbreak spreads to 18 people Telephone tree created so family can keep in touch DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Patients, residents and staff of Hawthorne Seniors Care Community in Port Coquitlam are all being tested for COVID-19 after an outbreak was declared with up to 18 people testing positive for the coronavirus.

Fraser Health confirmed the number of cases in a call with reporters Tuesday. The Port Coquitlam outbreak — one of several publicly acknowledged cases across the Tri-Cities in recent weeks — forms another worrisome epicentre for a regional body grappling with dramatically rising caseload, including 830 new cases over the weekend alone.

Fraser Health said it is working with staff to investigate if anyone else has been exposed at Hawthorne.

Among other enhanced control measures, the health authority has restricted visitors, staff and resident movement in the facility and implemented twice a day screening of staff and residents.

Health care settings — including senior and long-

Elizabeth Charyna, whose 93-year-old mother lives at Hawthorne Seniors Care Community in Port Coquitlam, has organized a telephone tree so family members can stay in touch. SUBMITTED PHOTO

term care homes — require only a single case of COVID19 for public health to declare an outbreak, a status that unlocks a ramped up response.

Declared last Thursday, the outbreak at Hawthorne has grown over the last five days from a single case, and all staff and residents have been tested. As of Tuesday, Nov. 3, most of the cases were in the 70-unit assisted living facility, however, a few had been identified in the 75-bed complex care facility called Hawthorne Lodge.

Lenore Pickering, chief executive officer at Hawthorne, said the situation has been “hard” for families and she acknowledged the challenge faced by those worried over how their own mom, dad or grandparent will cope with the illness.

Still, many are aware of the efforts being made to control the virus — including room and visitor restrictions, the donning of full personal protective equipment (PPE) and staff movements limited to cohorts of 25 residents.

“I’ve been very amazed

about the number of people who have reached out with supportive comments. For some families it’s very hard.

The vast majority are being courageous and superstars,” said Pickering.

Families, meanwhile, are trying to stay positive despite the scary news that COVID19 has entered the facility.

But there’s a frustrating irony in the fact that COVID-19 still got in despite all the safety protocols and restrictions over the past nine months.

“All these precautions — we’re doing all this so it

doesn’t get in there and everyone stays safe. Well OK, that has failed and it is there,” said Elizabeth Charyna, whose 93-year-old mother lives at Hawthorne Seniors Care Community.

Charyna said her mother, although somewhat bored, has been doing reasonably well over the past several months, keeping busy with crib games with another resident and staff facilitating regular Zoom calls with family.

Charyna is now worried about her mother being anxious now that COVID-19 has been identified in residents in the long-term care facility.

“I’m just hoping we don’t raise her anxiety level too high,” Charyna said, noting that it’s “hard to know” what is the ideal balance between protecting patients and maintaining their quality of life.

Brigitte Buermann, 80, has similar concerns. She’s been unable to get close to her husband, Bernie, for months because of COVID19 and now fears more restrictions even as her elderly husband is at risk for COVID-19.

“I was really frustrated because you can’t go visit them — they did a little bit of visiting outside in a tent, and then inside, still six feet apart, we’re all frustrated,”

she said. “Now my son just learned about COVID-19 [inside the facility]. We’re even more frustrated.”

The same concerns were raised by seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie, who said changes need to be made to permit more visits to long term care facilities after surveying more than 13,000 families and hearing stories from family members who have not seen loved ones for months due to limits on the number of people allowed to visit care facilities.

Despite the calls for more family access, at Tuesday’s press conference, Fraser Health President and CEO Dr. Victoria Lee didn’t offer up any hope for increased visitation until the provincial government provides the staff members its promised to facilitate those visits and lower COVID-19 case counts in the region.

“These actions have saved lives,” said Lee, pointing to the tight restrictions on visitors. “It’s a challenging area… to ensure quality life, and protecting people from COVID-19 in a vulnerable setting.”

Mackenzie’s report also recommends allowing longer and more frequent visits to balance the long-term risk to the health of residents caused by lengthy family separations.

BC Utilities COMMissiON

‘It’s blatantly unreasonable and unfair’ continued from front page

As one of the largest urban infrastructure projects FortisBC has ever completed, the new pipeline was finished in December 2019 after workers put in one million construction hours and completed roughly 1,900 welds. But not before disrupting the commute of 27,000 motorists a day and shaking the customer base of several businesses adjacent to the project.

But the city of Coquitlam withheld its consent for the construction of the new line, arguing that FortisBC should pay for the removal of 380 metres of the abandoned pipeline along a stretch the city has earmarked for its own infrastructure plan. The city also asked for FortisBC to repave the entire width of the 5.5-kilometre pipeline corridor and offer a $6 million credit for all the paving work, something that had

been denied in the 2019 BCUC decision.

“Whether it’s a pipeline carrying bitumen or oil to the coastline, [the questions is] whether a private company gets to carry its product under a very busy municipal corridor, gets to leave its junk in the ground and gets to do it for free,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart told the Tri-City

News.

“It’s blatantly unreasonable and unfair. Whether or not municipal taxpayers should subsidize pipeline companies is what is at stake here.”

On April 2, 2020, the BCUC dismissed the city’s application to reconsider its decision, noting that regulating such infrastructure was an “integral part” of its

core mandate to set rates and protect “the supply system in a manner which safeguards the public interest,” according to court documents.

“There are important reasons why BC Hydro has to be able to have access to municipal roads, to string wires or lay ducts so the residents of the community can have power. We don’t argue those issues,” said Stewart.

“This is a different animal… Particular in the case of privately owned pipelines and particularly when it runs through the municipality and not to it.”

The city of Coquitlam filed to appeal the dismissal on June 30. Central to its claim was that “a pipeline on municipal lands falls outside of BCUC jurisdiction once it becomes permanently decommissioned,” wrote Justice Abrioux in the Oct. 23 decision released Wednesday.

Coquitlam claimed that

removing the pipeline under the original order’s terms would cost the city about $38 million, “a crippling amount for any city,” said Stewart.

“We’re in good financial shape because of the sacrifices of municipal taxpayers and those sacrifices shouldn’t accrue to the shareholders of FortisBC,” he added.

But it’s not just Coquitlam that could suffer the consequences of such a ruling; executive director Gary MacIsaac of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities provided an affidavit claiming that the BCUC order would have “far-reaching consequences” for municipal budgets and planning, according to court documents.

In granting the city of Coquitlam an appeal, Justice Patrice Abrioux wrote that the case would “raise novel issues of law concerning the jurisdiction

of the BCUC vis-à-vis local governments” and that “the fate of decommissioned public utility assets like pipelines is undoubtedly a matter of public importance.”

With no “obvious answer” on whether the BCUC has jurisdiction over decommissioned assets and whether they can be abandoned on municipal lands, not to mention “the number of other pipelines which are approaching the end of their usefulness,” Justice Abrioux granted the city of Coquitlam its day in court.

“There’s a lot at stake and I suspect many utilities are sitting up and taking notice now,” said Stewart, adding the city will move to bring the case to court as soon as possible and that the “delay won’t be on our side.”

“I’m looking for a judgement that stands up for the rights of municipalities versus the rights of private utilities,” he said.

NOVEMBER 5 – 11 Message from the Mayor

Remembering Those Who Sacrificed

Remembrance Day always brings to mind the stories I heard growing up about what it was like to live in Canada during the Second World War. Canadians felt a duty to contribute, whether they were at home supporting the war effort or fighting in the trenches overseas.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of that war, and decades later, we’re still enjoying the freedoms that so many brave men and women fought and died for.

Although we won’t be able to gather and recognize Remembrance Day as we usually do, I encourage you to find ways to show your respect for those who put their lives on the line for their country and fellow Canadians.

We’ve rounded up a number of options on this page. Visit coquitlam.ca/remembers for more details.

Add to the Veterans Way Display

Submit a Message of Remembrance to parkspark@coquitlam.ca to have City staff transcribe and tie it to trees along Veterans Way in Blue Mountain Park. Veterans Way will also feature Remembrance Day elements developed over the years and implemented this year by staff including poppies painted on the grass, poppy flags and painted fence panels. Drive or walk through the display from Nov. 1 to 10.

Support the Poppy Drive

For those seeking to purchase a poppy, Coquitlam’s Legion at 1025 Ridgeway Ave. will host a drive-by poppy booth from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 7 and 8. For details call 604-937-0111 or email lgchapmanpoppychair@shaw.ca. Poppy masks are also available at the branch for $10 while supplies last, and wreaths in three sizes can be ordered through the same contact information until Nov. 6.

Other Ideas for Nov. 11

Sponsor a Meal

Y Gather the household together for two minutes of silence to honour and remember those who have fallen in service for the country. Join Legion Branch 263 members in spirit by observing those minutes on your front porch at 11 a.m.

For a silent video to reflect upon, visit the Two Minutes of Silence page at legion.ca/remembrance.

Residents of all ages are also encouraged to submit a Letter of Remembrance – a message, poem or artwork – to volunteers@coquitlam.ca to be included in meal deliveries for veterans.

Y Tune in to the federal Remembrance Day ceremony on television or online.

In collaboration with Legion Branch 263, the City’s Meals for Seniors program will provide free meals on Nov. 10 to Coquitlam veterans, with City Council members helping with deliveries.

Residents can sponsor the cost of one or more meals, at $7.50 each, by calling 604-927-4386.

Credit card payment will be required.

Place Your Poppy

Join in this campaign to display poppy images throughout the community to show gratitude for veterans. Look for the full-page with a poppy on page 8, or go to the Community Support section at coquitlam.ca/spirit to download a poppy image.

Then post the image in your window or somewhere visible to others.

Honouring Veterans Year-round

The City commemorates the lives of fallen Coquitlam soldiers on rolls of honour on the second floor of City Hall, and at the cenotaph at Blue Mountain Park, open year-round. Those who wish to visit the cenotaph for a moment of silence or to lay a wreath are encouraged to do so before or after Nov. 11 to help prevent gatherings.

Coquitlam provides free parking in City lots and street parking spaces for those displaying a veteran’s licence plate, a tradition started in 2006.

Residents asked to comment on city pot shops Consultation will begin on regulatory cannabis framework JANIs CLeUgh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam residents can have their say in the next year about pot shops opening up in the city.

Monday, city council approved a draft cannabis regulatory framework that lays out the scope, process and consultation for introducing marijuana businesses in the city.

The framework zeros in on three categories: • production facilities (for cultivating and harvesting, in industrial zones); • processing plants (for edibles and oils, in industrial and business enterprise zones); • and retail stores (for commercial zones).

According to a report from Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development, pot shops will be reviewed on a caseby-case basis and retailers will have to go through the necessary rezoning steps for their property.

However, McIntyre’s

The BC Cannabis Store in Port Coquitlam opened Oct. 21, making it the first publicly run recreational marijuana shop in Metro Vancouver. janis cleugh/the tRi-citY neWs

report leaves open the selection process for council — whether it be on a firstcome, first-served basis, a lottery system or a merit/ criteria-based approach for vendors.

Currently, Coquitlam’s zoning bylaw bans medical cannabis grow ops from being 300 metres from homes, churches, parks and schools. And under another

regulation, liquor stores have to be at least 300 m apart from each other.

“Separation requirements may not be necessary for all production and processing facilities but could be used to help manage the distribution of retail stores and ensure appropriate separations from sensitive uses like parks and schools,” McIntyre wrote in his report. “These regu-

lations will be considered further as part of the overall review.”

The framework also calls for more research around odour and potential contamination controls, and signage requirements.

An earlier version of the framework came before the city’s strategic priorities standing committee in June.

A public consultation on

the Cannabis Regulatory Framework will launch in January; a staff report will be before council in the summer, with bylaw revisions to be considered later in the year.

Allowing for cannabis business in the city is marked as a low priority for Coquitlam.

Port Coquitlam now has three pot stores — two private (under burb) and a BC Cannabis Store (in Dominion Triangle, see sidebar) — while Port Moody has two private retailers: burb and Kiaro.

Last December, Coquitlam OK’d a temporary use permit for a cannabis processing and research plant on Schooner Street. Since then, the city has received several inquiries about setting up similar businesses in Coquitlam, according to a committee report.

John Kaye, co-owner of burb, told the Tri-City News Tuesday that his company is eager to see what Coquitlam will propose for cannabis retailers. “As an active member in the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce and the Tri-City community, we look forward to an opportunity to open in Coquitlam,” he said.

Pot shops The Tri-Cities’ first public cannabis outlet opened last month in Port Coquitlam — the 23rd government-run pot shop in the province and the first for Metro Vancouver.

Viviana Zanocco, manager of corporate communications and stakeholder relations for the BC Liquor Distribution Branch, told the Tri-City News the PoCo space is 6,200 sq. ft., with the retail component about average size and remainder dedicated for warehousing and training.

About a dozen full- and part-time staff are employed on site, selling a range of products including edibles, extracts, topicals, dried cannabis flower, oils, capsules and pre-rolls.

A BC Cannabis Store is set to open this week in Mission, she said.

Six cases of COVID-19 at construction site WorkSafeBC warns of complacency in the workplace STEFAn LAbbÉ slabbe@tricitynews.com

A cluster of at least six cases of COVID-19 at a construction site in the heart of Port Coquitlam is raising questions over employer transparency at a time WorkSafeBC is warning of fatigue and complacency across the province's workplaces.

The construction site at Montrose Square — a development of townhouses under construction behind the city’s new community centre — has been traced to at least six lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to the Abbotsfordbased developer Quantum Properties Construction Inc. “As soon as we learned about these positive test results, we immediately informed everyone on site,” Quantum CEO Diane Delves wrote the Tri-City News in an email.

The six cases, Delves said, were confirmed last week and those who tested positive were directed not to

return to work. When the developer learned of the cases it immediately contacted Fraser Health to report the positive test results, she said, adding the health authority told them to continue following safety procedures in its existing COVID-19 policy.

Fraser Health and WorkSafeBC both declined to comment on the cases.

But plumber Colleen Vince, who has worked on the site since February, said she first started hearing rumours about two positive cases among other employees on Saturday, Oct. 24. It wasn’t until Monday when Vince said her foreman sat the crew down and confirmed two people had tested positive

six days earlier.

By the next day — with the crew home from work — that number had grown to five, she said.

Vince said she didn’t qualify for a test because she has yet to develop any symptoms. Still, the whole chain of events and what she describes as the developer's lack of communication over the course of six days has left the plumber scared for the health of her family.

“They didn’t bother to tell any of the other trades,” said Vince. “I generally speaking have a bubble of one: my father.”

“I would never have gone near my father. With an elevated risk, I change my routines. I wouldn’t go to the

grocery store.”

On Wednesday, while Vince spoke to the Tri-City News, she received a message that one of her close colleagues had also tested positive. That conflicts with the timeline laid out by the Quantum Properties, whose CEO said all the cases were isolated last week.

Much of the 400-unit, six-storey structure’s walls are now roughed in, with windows and doors installed and closed most of the time, according to the plumber.

That means Vince and the rest of her colleagues spend most of their time indoors.

WorkSafeBC inspectors spent 4.5 hours at the workplace in April to confirm the employer had a COVID-19 Safety Plan in place at that time.

According to the inspection report, seen by the Tri-City News, WorkSafeBC found no breaches at that time.

In those early days of the pandemic, Vince said the developer was careful about ensuring hand sanitizer and wash stations were available, and that stairways were one-direction only. But as the months have worn on, supplies of hand sanitizer have often dried up and workers come and go in close vicinity to one another

and as they please often without a mask, said Vince.

“We have always required the wearing of masks when social distancing was not possible; in response to the surging cases in our region, we now enforce a policy that everyone on site is required to wear masks at all times,” wrote CEO Delves in an email Thursday.

Vince confirmed that by Monday, Oct. 26, “the rule now is masks all the time.”

“But that leaves four [work] days when they knew of the possibility,” she added. “We could have been exposed.”

Jim Lofty who heads IBEW Local 213 in PoCo, said the episode reflects challenges across the construction industry as COVID-19 cases ramp up during B.C.’s second wave.

Among other workers, Lofty’s union represents hundreds of electricians across the province, working in everything from condo builds to industrial highrises and shipbuilding, though none of IBEW 213 workers are at the Montrose Square site.

In the early days of the pandemic, construction workers and tradespeople were deemed “essential workers” by public health,

and Lofty said his union, like many others representing workers in the industry, put pressure on employers and WorkSafeBC to get adequate protocols in place to keep workers safe.

“It always seemed odd that construction work had this, ‘we get a free pass’ kind of thing,” questioned Vince of the decision to deem their work “essential.”

“We all kind of scratched our head saying, ‘what is essential about building condos?’”

According to Lofty, the argument goes: “They’re sort of the life-support system of the economy.”

At the time, some were anxious to get back to work.

Others, like Vince, were concerned about returning to work, even with bills hanging over their heads, Lofty said. But the industry, workers and regulators came together and hammered out protocols that seemed to work, he added.

“We’re still getting some complaints but not nearly to the degree we saw in March and April,” Lofty said.

“Trying to find the balance of shutting down an entire crew or letting the health teams do their contact tracing? Those are things we’re still trying to work through.”

Mary anne Cooper

Celebrating a special citizen diane strandberg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

COVID-19 didn't stop dozens of Tri-City residents from celebrating a milestone birthday for one of Port Moody's most treasured citizens.

Mary Anne Cooper celebrated her 106th birthday

on Friday, Oct. 30, with a parade of cars driven by friends who brought her well-wishes, cards, flowers, and gifts as they passed by.

Fire trucks led the way, followed by dozens of passenger cars, antique cars and Port Moody police cars.

One PMPD vehicle was emblazoned with a large poster featuring a photo of Mary Anne Cooper and

birthday greetings.

“I appreciate you,” Cooper said to those who wound through the streets of the Ioco townsite to a tent where she sat next to a giant bouquet of red roses.

Dressed in a bright red coat, Cooper waved to her well-wishers, and thanked them for their kindness.

Tracy Green, one of the organizers, said a parade

was the safest way to celebrate Cooper’s birthday.

“We really wanted to do something that would respect her daughter’s wishes to have family and friends celebrate but in a safe way,” Green said.

Calling Cooper a treasure, she said it was important to honour Cooper for the work she has done to preserve history in Port Moody.

OPINION

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

It’s time to cure diabetes N

ovember is Diabetes Awareness Month.

But in our household, we’re aware of diabetes every moment of every day.

My wife has been Type 1 since she was nine years old.

Since her diagnosis, diabetes has been her constant companion. When we got together, it became our constant companion as well.

Diabetes was there when we climbed the Grouse Grind for our first date-non-date. It was there when we travelled to Paris, and when she went into labour with our son.

That’s the nature of this disease. If you have it, it is omnipresent in every aspect of your life with no respite.

Diabetes never takes a day off.

But to most outsiders, diabetes remains pretty much invisible.

To look at my wife, you’d never know she’s Type 1.

She’s fit and active. She’s run marathons and goes for long bike rides. She’s kept up with our son through his toddler years and now that he’s a busy grade schooler.

In fact, the only clue something is up might come when she discreetly waves her iPhone over her upper left or right arm — wherever her Freestyle Libre blood glucose sensor happens to be installed at the time — so she can get a visual determination of what is happening in her body at that moment.

During our time together, the technology to manage diabetes has evolved considerably.

When we met, she pricked her finger several times a day and before every meal or snack, then dialed her required dose of insulin into a special pen that sheathed a syringe. Then she got a pump

she wore on her belt that could automatically send her insulin through a thin tube connected to an infusion site on her arm, belly or upper thigh.

Most recently, she’s been using something called an Omnipod, that functions much like her former pump but without all the complicated tubing.

For the most part those devices are secreted under clothes, out of sight.

But for my wife, they’re never out of mind.

Everything she eats, every activity, comes with a complicated calculation to try to balance her intake of carbs and activity level with the level of glucose in her blood.

Still, trying to replace a functioning pancreas with math can be an imprecise science that would challenge even a Nobel Laureate.

The consequence of a miscalculation or a body that doesn’t respond as you’ve come to expect can quickly sap your energy, throw a wrench in your plans, ruin your day. Or worse.

That’s the thing about diabetes; despite the latest and best technology, despite being armed with a lifetime of experience and an acute awareness of her own body, the disease remains elusive, unpredictable.

And frankly, in 2020 that’s not acceptable.

Medicine has figured out how to manage diabetes but it’s time to find a cure so families like ours and those of the 299,999 other Canadians living with Type 1 don’t have to throw the disease a special month, or think about it every moment of every day.

YOUR LETTERS R E M E M B R A N C E D AY

Very soon we’ll have no WW II veterans left The Editor, COVID-19 has been a huge disruptor in our daily lives.

The most recent disruption was the recent cancelling of this year’s Remembrance Day ceremonies.

This Remembrance Day will mark the 75th Anniversary of the ending of the Second World War. Earlier this year in the Netherlands, they had to cancel their plans to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of their Liberation due to COVID, a Liberation that Canadians

played a very large part in.

These were to be the last big gatherings of our World War II veterans. The average age of these veterans is 95 and every day that goes by we lose a few more. Very soon we will have no World War II veterans left.

Legions rely on Veterans Week and Remembrance Day to raise funds to look after our veterans.

Legions all over Canada are struggling right now, and these cancellations could be the last straw for many.

In these difficult times, please have a thought for

the Legion and our veterans.

Unlike previous years, due to COVID-19 you won’t see very many members of the Legion outside stores or in the malls canvassing poppies.

Please don’t forget our veterans. When needed, they selflessly answered the call, and gave up all their tomorrows so we could enjoy our todays.

Please make an effort to get a poppy, and if you can, make a donation to your local Legion’s poppy fund.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Trustee says ‘no’ to pay hike DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

School District 43 trustees saw an average jump in pay of about 10%, according to the most recent Statement of Financial Information documents published online this week.

SOFI documents for the 2019-2020 school year end-

ing June 30, saw trustees making more than they did previously.

However, one trustee opted out of the pay hike.

Coquitlam trustee Jennifer Blatherwick who has raised concerns about trustee pay in the past makes $7,399 or roughly 16.5% less than her trustee colleagues, according to income figures released this week. She told the Tri-City News in an email

that she requested in 2019 “that my indemnity remain at $43,750 going forward.”

That’s when the salary was raised to make up for changes in a new tax rule that took away a 30% tax free indemnity for municipal politicians. Trustee pay is automatically updated each year to reflect an average of Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam councillor pay.

Size matters when it comes to the pay of top school officials, documents reveal.

Income numbers released

by School District 43 this week show superintendent Patricia Gartland pulled in $254,552 in the 2019-2020 school year ending June 30.

That’s less than Surrey and Vancouver superintendents make, and puts her in the rankings of one of B.C.’s highest paid school salary earners, owing to the fact that SD43, with 70 schools and 32,000 students is the province’s third largest.

By comparison, the CEO of the province’s big-

Gerald Shong - $190,235 • Asst. superintendent Robert Zambrano - $190,235 • Dir. Human Resources Randy Manhas - $180,470 • Dir. of Facilities - Ivano Cecchini - $180,328 • Dir. of Instruction - Info Tech - Stephen Whiffin $160,749 COVID-19 took a bite out of expenses for SD43 staff, with the clampdown on conferences and international travel. Overall, expenses were down 33% in the district to $514,390 in the 20192020 school year, compared to $767,413 in the previous year.

Meanwhile, wages continued to climb with total remuneration paid out to employees up 4.66%. The information is contained in the latest Statement of Financial Information that reports out on individuals making more than $75,000 and payouts to services and contractors.

gest school district, Surrey superintendent Jordan Tinney, took in $286,754; Vancouver’s Suzanne Hoffman, the superintendent of the second-largest district, made $276,397, reporting from the TriCity News sister paper, the Burnaby Now shows.

But with COVID-19 eliminating international travel, Gartland had to stay closer to home.

Her $31,078.23 in expenses were dramatically reduced over the previous year when Gartland spent $73,172, on travel, much of it to promote the district’s international education program.

SD43’s top earners were: • Secretary treasure and CFO - Chris Nicolls - $202,834 • Asst. superintendent Carey Chute - $191,368 • Asst. superintendent Reno Ciolfi - $191,368 • Asst. superintendent -

SALMON COME HOME

The three best places to see salmon in Coquitlam Witness the fish that are making their way up Hoy Creek DIANE StrANDbErg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Chum salmon are now making their way up Coquitlam’s Hoy Creek.

And nature watchers can see their progress as they spawn.

The first chum salmon of the season were spotted as early as the long weekend, according to the Hoy/Scott Watershed Society, with more salmon returning during heavy rains.

And while the annual Salmon Come Home event won’t be held this year due to CoVid-19, Coquitlam residents can still celebrate the return of salmon to local creeks with a series

of fun and self-guided activities.

A downloadable map of salmon-viewing locations, along with a scavenger hunt designed to help families explore nature, is available at coquitlam.ca/salmoncomehome.

There are also several salmon-viewing spots, with one of the best being Hoy Creek Linear Park, where new interpretive signs have been installed.

Here are the best viewing sites: • Hoy Creek, close to the hatchery or along the trail in Hoy Creek Linear Park • Scott Creek, near Runnel Drive or Guildford Way • and Coquitlam River, at the Oxbow side channel, Galette Park and Hockaday Park Meanwhile, here are some tips from the Hoy-Scott Watershed Society about the best ways to see salmon:

Please Join Us

Community Information Meeting Notification

• Visit after a rain or on a clearer weather day when creek depths are lower and the water is quieter.

• Look carefully as salmon (in particular, chum salmon) have similar colours to the rocks or stones in the stream and can be camouflaged.

Coho are even better at hiding than chum. If you are expecting to see bright red salmon, you’ve come to the wrong creeks.

• Wear sunglasses.

Fishermen often wear polarized sunglasses to better spot fish in the water.

• Head to resting places.

Salmon have an arduous journey upstream. They can often be spotted under bridges or hanging branches or fallen logs to build up strength for their next climb.

For more information about the Hoy-Scott Watershed Society and its work, visit hoyscottcreeks. org.

Mosaic is hosting a virtual Community Information Meeting and invite you to join us to learn more about the proposal and provide your feedback.

The proposal is seeking a rezoning application from M-1 Light Industrial to Comprehensive Development Zone to allow for three 5-storey residential buildings on top of a commercial podium along Murray Street and Electronic Ave. The proposal consists of 215 residential units and up to 27,000 sq ft of commercial space.

Cops may visit people flouting COVID-19 rules Only six “safe” house guests permitted at gatherings DIAnE sTrAnDBErg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Hosts that flout the ‘safe six’ house guest rule will likely get a stern warning — and maybe a fine — after a new provincial health order was enacted to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Port Moody police and Coquitlam RCMP say they’ll be keeping an eye out for big house parties after provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced the new order to curb the number of people allowed to gather at a private home to the immediate household — plus a “safe

six.” Const. Jason Maschke, spokesperson for Port Moody police, said his department will take an “education-first” approach to calls about gatherings that exceed Henry’s latest public health directives.

“Our officers will remind people of the protocol,” Maschke said. “Some people might not even be aware of Dr. Henry’s recommenda-

City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 7N2

tions.”

But, Maschke added, if a gathering is excessively large, officers will identify who’s responsible, or the homeowner, and assess fines. Other than a call in September about three guests at a Port Moody restaurant who were flouting rules to stay at their table and respect social distancing, he said most people in the city have been pretty responsible (Those guests were fined $700.)

Coquitlam RCMP will also try to educate party hosts first, said spokesperson Const. Deanna Law, but will respond to complaints as they do with noisy parties.

“Police are equipped to deal with it,” Law said.

Still, she noted that people may be confused as to what the rules are and she

cautioned against rushing to judgment.

“I think people are going to be unclear as to how many people they can have, but it’s easy to say if there are 30

people in an 800 sq. ft. apartment, that’s going to be a clear picture.”

City bylaw officers can also be called for complaints, but will refer enforcement to po-

lice and Fraser Health.

Henry hopes B.C. residents will heed her order to bring down the number of COVID-19 infections.

Lest we forget gleneagle secondary

Virtual ceremony helps young people remember Leadership students organized speakers, musicians for video presentation diane strandberg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Passing the torch of remembrance to youth is evident at Gleneagle secondary school in Coquitlam where students are organizing a virtual Remembrance Day ceremony to remember Canada’s war effort.

Available online for the public to watch beginning Nov. 10, the half-hour ceremony will honour all those who fought and died

in the line of duty to keep Canadians free.

“These people go out and risk their lives for us so we can have liberty, health care and we can have honest government and we thought this was important that Remembrance Day should be commemorated despite COVID-19 challenges,” explained Hussam Hamed, a Grade 10 student who is one of the Leadership 12 organizers.

While schools across School District 43 typically have honour guards and guest speakers to mark Remembrance Day, this is the first year many of those ceremonies have to be scaled back because of COVID-19.

And with many civic events at cenotaphs also being cancelled, the virtual ceremony might be one way Coquitlam residents can observe the traditional moment of silence, hear students read out poetry about the importance of Remembrance Day and listen to a student trumpeter and a piper play the Last Post.

The event will also be played on classroom monitors in the school.

Several speakers will say a few words, including Indigenous veteran Bob Sutherland and veteran Tim Laidler, as well a vocal jazz ensemble and choir, who will sing O Canada and Take You Home.

The students have spent

LEST WE FORGET

the past several weeks organizing the event, including reaching out to a local veteran, and encouraging people to participate by recording their part of the ceremony.

“We all wanted to do this because we knew how important it is,” said Hamed. “We’ve already put in many hours to put this all together.”

For those watching, the organizers are: Hussam Hamed, Pearl Chan, Shirin Sadlouparizi, Gloria Seo, Skyler Yang, Hadrian Lau, Jenny Park , Diana Li and Amanda Palmatary. The piper is Alexandra Lye the trumpeter is Paul Hong.

Honouring our Country’s

While we can’t gather in person this year on Remembrance Day, we can still come together in spirit to re�ect on the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, and the sacri�ces of the brave men and women who have fought for our country over the decades.

Our veterans continue to provide a strong example for us today of dedication, resilience, teamwork and care for others — qualities that are required of all Canadians this year.

As your City Council, we’re proud of the spirit of community that we see across Port Coquitlam, especially during these challenging times. On this Remembrance Day, please wear your poppy and �nd your own way to honour our veterans and cherish all that we have today because of their sacri�ces.

Even wearing a poppy takes on added significance this year because they won’t be as easy to obtain as the veterans and legion volunteers won’t be out and about with their boxes of bright red plastic flowers and collection tins.

“Wearing the poppy this year is a great tribute to lots of things people have had to endure,” Millar said, adding the special pins are still being distributed to schools and various stores, some of which will collect donations at the till.

The branch president of Port Moody legion is hoping the city’s residents will stand on their balconies — or outside their front doors — to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on Remembrance Day. Brenda Millar said while individual remembrances won’t be as powerful as 5,000 people gathered collectively around the city’s cenotaph in front of the arts centre, the need to honour the sacrifices made

by Canada’s war veterans shouldn’t be diminished by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

organizations like Share and Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, and even some students who receive bursaries to help pay for their post-secondary education.

“We feel it’s going to have a huge impact,” she said.

But it’s the absence of the annual parade and ceremonies at the cenotaph that will likely most remind people of the unique circumstance of this year’s Remembrance Day. Millar said while the dozens of Cadets, Scouts and Brownies as well as band musicians, who participate in the events, are at loose ends, the bugler and bagpiper are planning their own individual performances at their homes.

Port Moody theatre troupe nets Metro cash Theatre aims to educate kids about the environment JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A Port Moody theatre society that aims to educate kids about the environment is the only Tri-City group to get a cultural grant in Metro Vancouver’s latest round of handouts.

The regional authority awarded $8,000 to DreamRider Productions, one of 29 arts and culture organizations to split $140,000 in Regional Culture Project Grants this year.

Founded as a city of Vancouver project in 1997 to teach elementary school students about water conservation, DreamRider presents live theatre shows and challenges children and youth to become green superheroes at home,

through its Planet Protector Academy.

It also works with municipal governments, foundations and companies, with Vanessa LeBourdais at the helm as executive producer, co-founder and creative director.

Because of the pandemic and its impact on the arts community this year, Metro Vancouver changed its cultural grant program to allow for more flexibility with projects and timeframes.

100,000 doses of flu shot to be given out in Tri-Cities People encouraged to get their shots starting this week dIAnE sTrAndBErg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Tri-City doctors and pharmacists are ramping up the distribution of flu vaccines and will be vaccinating the public at two outdoor clinics — one each in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody — beginning this week.

The goal is to encourage people to get their shot by making it easy and to provide safer ways for people to get it during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We really want to highlight that people need to get it. That’s what Dr. Bonnie Henry is saying. The big challenge is ‘how do I get it?,’” said Kristen Ash, executive director of the Fraser

Northwest Division of Family Practice.

As many as 100,000 doses of the flu shot will be distributed to Tri-City residents in November at the clinics that people can register for online.

Each outdoor flu-clinic provides a drive-thru service as well and a walk-in option and will have tents set up outside. Pre-registration is required and is by appointment only. These clinics will be operating between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Dates and locations for each city can be viewed on the FNWD website.

The program, a partnership between the Fraser North Division, family doctors, pharmacists and community volunteers, is being initiated during the crucial lead up to the fall flu season.

With influenza potentially deadly for older and health compromised individuals and challenging to deal with

during COVID-19 pandemic because both share the same symptoms, getting a flu shot is more important than ever.

These clinics will give the public more options for immunization against the flu, especially as pharmacies and clinics are offering a limited number of flu vaccinations this year to preserve the health and safety of their patients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is exceptionally important this year to get the flu shot, according to the Fraser North West Division, as preventing the flu will keep B.C.’s health system from being overwhelmed by twin waves of flu and COVID. Ash said the clinics have been welcomed by the city’s of Port Moody and Port Coquitlam, where space is being provided in recreation centre parking lots, one at the PoMo rec centre and the other at the Hyde Creek rec centre.

Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project Invitation to Comment FortisBC Energy Inc. is proposing to amend the existing Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project Certificate (EAC No. E16-01). The proposed changes include the option of a new location for the Squamish compressor station; rerouting an eight-kilometre section of the pipeline; changes to compressor units at the Eagle Mountain compressor station; and the addition of three-kilometres of pipeline near the Eagle Mountain compressor station in Coquitlam.

FortisBC Energy Inc. submitted an Amendment Application to the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) for review on October 23, 2020. An Environmental Assessment Certificate amendment is required before any work can be undertaken on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project.

Stuart Gemmell got more than just bragging rights after predicting the outcome of more than a dozen live sporting events last month.

The Port Coquitlam resident is now $66,000 richer after playing Toto, a Sports Action game, that allows a player to pick 11, 12 or 13 winners from the BCLC games menu.

“I had calculated and thought I had won $47,000, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw $66,000,” he said.

Gemmell said he has enjoyed playing the game in competition against his friends, but is happy to receive the money.

He added that he intends to use some of the proceeds to make some repairs around the house, put away for retirement and travel once COVID-19 restrictions are removed.

Happy Hippie ready to roll on Cannabis shop to be owned by pub proprietor mariO bartel mbartel@tricitynews.com

Port Moody is getting a fourth cannabis shop even as several city councillors said that number crossed a rubicon they hadn’t anticipated breaching.

But, they added, they couldn’t ignore the broad community support for proprietor Rylie Ableman, who’s run the St. James Well pub in Newport Village for 20 years.

One added the proposed shop’s name, Happy Hippie, “just makes you feel good saying it.”

Oct. 27, five of those councillors passed third reading to the zoning bylaw amendments that will allow Ableman to open his shop at 2343 Clarke St. Only Coun. Diana Dilworth voted in opposition, as she said she wanted to stick to her principle of approving just three shops for the city.

Mayor Rob Vagramov excused himself from the discussion and subsequent vote because of a previous connection to the proponent.

For Ableman, the major leap forward in his protracted quest to get into the cannabis business was a welcome present on his 40th birthday.

But, he told the Tri-City News, it was also a relief after council had rescinded the third reading they’d already granted his proposal last June and reopened the process requiring him, and the proponent for another bid from Cannoe that had been rejected, to go through additional, but separate, public hearings and council consideration.

“It’s been a rollercoaster for sure,” he said. “I’d already been awarded it once before, and I just had to reaffirm why I should have a store.”

Ableman said after council gave Cannoe’s bid third reading Oct. 20 he feared he’d get shut out as several councillors indicated they thought three cannabis shops is a good number for a city the size of Port Moody.

Two shops, Kiaro and Burb, opened earlier this year.

Coun. Hunter Madsen said while he thinks “four is a lot” for the city’s downtown, it’s “not going to ruin the neighbourhood.”

In fact, he added, locating Happy Hippie off the commercial strip along St. Johns Street and in the city’s historic core “could liven up the area.”

Coun. Zoe Royer, who admitted she also had doubts about committing to a fourth store, lauded Ableman’s concept for his independent

shop that would create “a uniquely discerning Port Moody experience.”

Coun. Steve Milani also praised the shop’s location but, he said, it’s Ableman’s long history of helping out local organizations like Port Moody Rotary and the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation that won him over.

“The owner has contributed a great deal to the community,” he said. “That’s a good thing.”

Ableman said now that he’s got council’s blessing, the hard work begins.

He’s still awaiting final

approval of his “fit and proper” vetting by the provincial Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch, but an email he provided to councillors from the lead investigator in charge of his file assured “I do not see why I would not be able to complete my assessment soon.”

Then, Ableman said, his design and construction team will be able to start transforming the storefront he’s leased into a “relaxed atmosphere that fits right into the streetscape.”

“It felt good to leave on a high note,” he said.

KARIN KHUONG

Fund surpasses goal MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

A young basketball player who inspired her teammates at Terry Fox secondary school as she battled cancer will continue to inspire student-athletes in Port Coquitlam.

A scholarship fund launched in memory of Karin Khuong, who passed away Oct. 4, has already surpassed its goal of $20,000.

Khuong died two years after she was first diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft-tissue childhood cancer. She was

16 years-old.

The scholarship fund is intended to award $2,000 a year to deserving local student athletes headed to post-secondary studies for the next 10 years.

In a message posted by Karin’ mother, Jennifer, the planned duration for the scholarship fund matches the number of years her daughter played basketball.

“Karin and our family made beautiful friendships in the basketball and school communities,” she said.

Donations to the Kanin Khuong scholarship fund can be made by clicking https://gf.me/u/y43i83.

A global volunteer organization working to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment.

Remembrance is a golden chain death tries to break, but all in vain; to have, to love, and then to part, is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

The years may wipe out many things, but this they wipe out never the memory of those happy days when we were all together.

Love, Jacqui & Jana
