HOUSE FIRE FORCES EVACUATION OF NEIGHBOURHOOD
A fire in the 3000-block of Spuraway Avenue in Coquitlam was quickly knocked down by firefighters — but not before the home was gutted and residents in the neighbourhood were displaced from their homes for about an hour. Many of those evacuated gathered on garden chairs at the corner of Spuraway and Daybreak, where they chatted in the sunshine with Coquitlam Mounties and Victims Services workers. A w.tricitynews .com Coast Mountain bus brought in to shelter the evacuees remained empty. The fire started at about 10:50 a.m. and a plume of heavy, black smoke quickly rose over the neighw.tricitynews .com trucks from bourhood. Several Coquitlam Fire and Rescue, as well as one from Port Coquitlam, responded. Nobody was hurt. Most of evacuated neighbours were allowed to w.tricitynews .com return to their homes about an hour after the blaze started but Spuraway between Daybreak and Ranch Park Drive remained closed for several hours.

Coquitlam battles Fortis over pipeline plan
www.tricitynews.com Gary MCKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A dispute between the city of Coquitlam and FortisBC over the replacement of a natural gas pipeline running under Como Lake Avenue is heading
to the BC Utilities Commission. The municipality is asking the utility provider to remove the 5.5-km section of the line it will decommission as part of an upgrade next year that will severely reduce traffic flow on the busy arterial route for months.
But FortisBC has told engineering staff it intends to fill the old 20-inch pipe with concrete and leave it in place, which the company says is standard practice. That’s not good enough, according to city manager Peter
Steblin, who told a council-incommittee meeting Monday that staff are concerned about the increased congestion of utilities and infrastructure under city roads. “In our opinion, [FortisBC does] not show enough cre-
dence to other users,” he said. “They are very focused on their needs and they are not as concerned as we believe they should be… with other utilities and other stakeholders present and in the future.” He later added: “We have
been trying to negotiate with the company what we consider are reasonable requirements in terms of how they should deal with that pipeline and we have not been successful.” see CITY WANTS, page 7

PoMo aims to get smart, save bears Port Moody will try to earn Bear Smart designation Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody will spend more than $20,000 for a consultant to help the city develop a bear management strategy. Such a strategy is a key component to Port Moody becoming officially recognized as a Bear Smart community by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, said Kurt Frei, the environmental technician for the city’s environment and parks department. Currently, only eight communities, including Coquitlam, have achieved Bear Smart designation. Frei said the goal of the Bear Smart program is to reduce the risk to public safety from encounters with bears while also cutting the number of bears that are put down each year as a result of those encounters. According to statistics from the BC Conservation Officer Service, there have been 840 bear encounters in Port Moody since 2013 and eight adult bears as well as five cubs were killed because they had become conditioned to human food. Frei said Port Moody’s unique geography — surrounded by forested slopes and natural areas — means every

To achieve Bear Smart designation, Frei said, the city must fulfil a number of criteria, including: • completion of a bear hazard assessment; • preparation of human-bear conflict management plan; • implementation of an effective education program;
• development of bear-proof solid waste management system; • and implementation and enforcement of Bear Smart bylaws to ensure bears can’t access human food. Frei said a bear management plan would be “like an audit, with specific actions to take,”
that needs to be conducted by an expert in bear biology. Coun. Diana Dilworth said hiring a consultant to help the city devise a bear management program is “a no-brainer,” adding, “We’ve looked at a number of ways of addressing bear conflicts, we need to do something more.”
Frei said while achieving Bear Smart status normally takes up to five or six years, Port Moody might be able to reduce that time frame by half by consulting with other communities that are already designated Bear Smart. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

PoCo committee wants city to set tree targets Janis Cleugh
The Tri-CiTy News
The chair of Port Coquitlam’s environment committee is pushing for more protection of trees, asking city staff to set higher targets in the updated tree bylaw. Last week, Coun. Laura Dupont urged managers to add language to the policy revision that would boost the city’s tree canopy from its cur-
rent 23.8% to 30% by 2042. A tree canopy measures plant cover and is considered by urban planners to be key to improving the environmental health and green quality of a jurisdiction. “I know it will be some work but I think a 30% canopy coverage doesn’t feel unreasonable to me,” Dupont said. Her comments came after city staff presented results of a year-long consultation. Last
year, 850 residents gave their feedback in an outreach campaign called Let’s Talk Trees; it was followed up with a second round this past spring that drew 157 responses to an online survey as well as 20 people to an open house in June. The proposed changes to the tree policy come in response to a public outcry last year after the city felled 122 trees to make way for the rec-
reation complex rebuild. The revised policy, which city council has yet to adopt, calls for, among other things: • a doubling of permit fees to $100; • a requirement to replace every tree; • a $500 cash-in-lieu payment where a tree can’t be replaced; • an expansion on the definition of “significant” trees; • and an increase of fines
for removing a tree without a permit. Dupont also recommended city staff include an education drive if the policy is changed by council to “dispel fears” about tree protection. An updated policy report will return this fall to the environment committee. Currently, PoCo has about 5.6 million trees, of which 55% are on private property.

BELCARRA WATER WARNING LIFTED
An air quality advisory for the eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including the Tri-Cities, is continuing this week and another has been added. The first advisory, issued late last week, is for ground-level ozone. Monday, the regional district expanded the advisory to include fine particulate matter, which is airborne solid or liquid droplets small enough to penetrate indoors. That’s on top of the noticeable haze in the region, Metro Vancouver noted in its advisory. The warnings are a result of smoke from wildfires burning in Eurasia and Alaska as well as the bog fire in Richmond. Although morning air quality health indexes at monitoring stations in Coquitlam and Port Moody were at level three on a scale of one to 10, which is considered low, higher concentrations in the afternoon have been reaching six in many areas, including the Tri-Cities, said Metro Vancouver spokesperson Sarah Lusk in an email to The Tri-City News. The regional district advises avoiding strenuous activities
A boil water advisory for the beach at Belcarra Regional Park issued last week was lifted on the weekend. A leaky pipe had drained the well-water fed reservoir that supplied the beach area, forcing Metro Vancouver to issue the warning and to temporarily close the concession building and washrooms. The pipe was replaced late last week and the washrooms reopened. The concession was, too, but had limited options available for sale. The advisory was lifted Saturday after testing by the Fraser Health Authority confirmed the water was OK. The concession also returned to full operation. Until then, the regional district had advised park patrons to bring their own water to drink, cook, wash food or wash dishes. Metro Vancouver parks supervisor Marcel Labreche told The Tri-City News last week the district has committed to eventually hooking up the beach area to the Belcarra water system instead of relying on the reservoir. The park’s White Pine Beach facility was not affected because it has its own reservoir. during mid-afternoon to early evening, when ozone levels are highest. Exposure is particularly concerning for infants, the elderly and those with medical conditions such as lung or heart disease and asthma. Anyone experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing should follow the advice of a health care provider. “As we are in the summer season with warm temperatures, it is also important to stay cool and hydrated.

spaces with air conditioning may offer relief from both heat and air pollution,” said the advisory, which is expected to continue to be in effect until there is a change in the weather. Lusk said the biggest impact is being seen mainly in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and eastern parts of Surrey. Despite the Tri-Cities being better off, Metro is still advising residents to reduce the risk by staying cool and watch out for any symptoms.

Talking pot in PoCo Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam will look at taking the same approach to cannabis sales as it has for regulating pubs and liquor stores. Later this month, the city is expected to reach out to residents and stakeholders to gain feedback on its proposed policy. But the time needed for consultation and subsequent bylaw readings means city council likely won’t have a legislative framework in place until late November — about a month after the federal government legalizes pot for recreational use Oct. 17. And if such a framework is adopted by council, there will be a 30-day window for city staff to review applications from private and public retailers, meaning cannabis shops likely won’t be popping up in PoCo until the new year. Last Friday, PoCo planning manager Jennifer Little told The Tri-City News that city staff have received several requests from potential operators interested in opening cannabis stores in PoCo. “They’ve been told to wait until the consultation process is complete and the framework is in place,” she said, adding no pre-applications have been submitted. Under PoCo’s plan, which went before the city’s community and intergovernmental
committee last Tuesday, the city could potentially have up to seven or eight cannabis shops in commercial districts if the regulatory framework mirrors that governing neighbourhood pubs and liquor stores. PoCo’s proposal for requirement of a minimum 1-km distance between cannabis stores is one of the largest sizes compared with similar policies in New Westminster (200 m), Vancouver (300 m), and Victoria and Courtenay (400 m). In Denver, Colo., and Seattle, Wash., where cannabis is legal, the distance is 304.8 m. Still, PoCo’s plan for cannabis shops calls for a 200 m space from schools, playgrounds, community centres and sports fields — smaller than in other jurisdictions, according to a city staff report. Little said civic staff will look at the best locations when it comes to picking retailers wanting site-specific property rezoning. “We want to ensure they meet our criteria and their land use is the best fit for the community,” she said. Besides the property evaluation, cannabis retail operators will also have to meet provincial security standards; have odour controls (with air filtration systems); and pay an annual licence fee of $1,500 (in comparison, New West charges $2,698 and Victoria $5,000). Little said the city wants to
hear from PoCo residents as well as industry stakeholders, Downtown PoCo Business Improvement Association members, Coquitlam RCMP, the Union of BC Municipalities and the newly renamed Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch — which is licensing and monitoring the private retail sale of non-medical cannabis in B.C. — about its proposal. Pardeep Purewal, PoCo’s communications manager, said the one-month consultation will include a survey and open house. Last year, PoCo council clamped down on cannabis retail stores, banning all cannabis-related sales, activities and paraphernalia other than at a licensed pharmacy, in private homes and on properties zoned to grow medical cannabis. In May, the province passed the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act to delegate powers to municipalities to set their own production, public consumption and education policies; hours of operation for retailers are between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. but some jurisdictions may impose shorter opening times. PoCo council recently changed its smoking control bylaw to ban tobacco and cannabis smoking (and vaping) in parks, playgrounds, public gathering spots and around building entrances. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

RICHMOND BOG FIRE
PM Fire pitches in Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody Fire and Rescue’s special expertise in fighting wild land fires has come in handy to help control a fire in Richmond. The city’s deputy fire chief, Kirk Heaven, said PMFR received a request from Richmond’s fire department last Friday for assistance to help douse a fire that was burning in a thick, boggy forest on Department of National Defence property near Westminster Highway and Shell Road. By then, the fire had grown to about eight hectares, sending a thick plume of hazy smoke over parts of Metro Vancouver. Heaven said Port Moody’s proximity to forests and wild lands means his department has plenty of specialized equipment like sprinklers, pumps, holding tanks and lightweight forestry fire hoses that can be quickly deployed in the event of a fire in those areas. Firefighters also receive regular training with that equipment. Saturday, Heaven and Capt. Jeff Dennis delivered a pod of equipment to the fire scene in Richmond, which by then had grown to an estimated 10 to 12 hectares despite the efforts of more than 20 firefighters as well as four airplanes and a helicopter provided by BC Wildlife Services.

Port Moody Fire and Rescue dispatched some of its specialized wild land fire equipment, including lightweight forestry hose, to help out with the bog fire in Richmond over the weekend. “Before we even stopped, they were trying to pull the equipment off our truck,” Heaven said, adding Dennis helped deploy more than 100 sprinklers as well as water pumps into the isolated area that was burning, about a thousand feet from the nearest road and with no trail access. The effort continued through the weekend and into Monday. “It’s very complicated with that peat,” Heaven said, adding the fire can smoulder underground undetected until it suddenly flares up a tree. “It’s a huge challenge.” It’s also a great learning opportunity to gain more experience and knowledge about combatting such fires that the
department can use should a wild land fire erupt in the Moody’s own woods or backyards, he said. The current spell of hot weather has the department on high alert, with plenty of equipment and manpower available should an incident occur, Heaven said. Which was exactly the case when a small fire broke out recently along Randy’s Trail on Eagle Mountain. Heaven said quick work by crews prevented the fire from growing much more than five feet in diameter. “The potential for fire is very, very high.”

City wants pipe gone; road will be tied up for months continued from front page
The city, which is to receive a $300,000 community amenity contribution from the utility company, also wants FortisBC to repave Como Lake Avenue from curb to curb, a requirement the company has indicated it will not meet. Discussions between FortisBC and the city over the project have been ongoing for more than four years. And because of the impasse, FortisBC recently took the issue to the BC Utilities Commission, where it is seeking approval to move ahead with construction without a permit from Coquitlam. The company wants to upgrade its service with a 30-inch line that will replace the existing 20-inch pipe that has been in the ground for more than 50 years and is nearing the end of its lifespan. The work is part of a larger project, the Lower Mainland Intermediate Pressure System Upgrade, which has already started along 1st Avenue in Vancouver and will continue into Burnaby later this year. The work in Coquitlam is not expected to get underway until 2019. FortisBC told The Tri-City News the replacement of the line is necessary in order to en-

Doug Stout, the company’s vice-president of market development and external relations, said removing the old line would increase the length of time it will take for construction and add additional cost to the project. He noted that lines installed in the 1950s have a coating that “has been known to contain low levels of asbestos” and removal would have to be done in accordance with workplace safety regulations. He said the most recent estimate for the pipe’s removal is between $70 million and $100 million. “Leaving it in place reduces the impact to communities,” he said. “Removing it requires us to dig up twice as much road, adding months of inconvenience to the community.
Doing so would also have significant costs.” He said while the line is underground, FortisBC is still responsible for it and will remove section if it interferes with municipal infrastructure. As for repaving Como Lake Avenue, Stout said it is customary for utility providers to replace the pavement disturbed during construction rather than the entire street. “The cost of additional repaving would need to be borne by FortisBC customers, which we do not feel is prudent,” he said. Stout noted the project has received permits and approvals from the city of Vancouver and Burnaby without being required to remove the existing pipeline. But Jozsef Dioszeghy, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering and public works, said the Como Lake corridor has unique issues not seen in Vancouver and Burnaby. For one, the thoroughfare is much narrower than 1st Avenue, which has a large boulevard separating the east- and westbound lanes, creating more room for utilities underground. Work in Coquitlam will also see greater traffic impacts, he said. Vancouver and Burnaby have multiple route alterna-

tives while Como Lake Avenue, which is expected to be reduced to between one and two lanes for the duration of the eight-month project, is one of only a couple of east-west corridors in the southwest neighbourhoods of the municipality. “They have more alternatives than we do,” Dioszeghy told The Tri-City News following Monday’s council meeting. “[Traffic] is going to spread all over the city and it is going to be chaotic… The problems the city of Vancouver is having will be magnified in Coquitlam.” Mayor Richard Stewart said the city recognizes the need for the project and supports the infrastructure improvements but said the company needs to take the existing line out of the ground when it installs the new one. “To suggest the taxpayers of Coquitlam ought to subsidize their operations, I find offensive,” he said during Monday’s meeting. “Take your garbage with you when you leave,” he added later. The B.C. Utilities Commission will deal with the matter later this summer and is expected to receive feedback and written submissions from the public. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

coquitlam revisits request for billboards Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam’s ban on thirdparty billboard advertising could be coming to an end. Council gave its approval Monday to explore alterations to the city’s sign bylaw that would permit large advertisements in certain locations around the municipality. “The city has been approached a number of times over the years by outdoor advertising companies wanting to install third-party billboards on private property in Coquitlam,” said a staff report. “These companies are now focused on wanting to install third-party electronic billboards.” Currently, Pattison Outdoor has proposed putting an electronic sign on city property at Barnet Highway and Johnson Street and at Lougheed Highway and Brunette Avenue. Van Horne Outdoor, which a staff report said is a joint
venture involving CP Rail and advertising company All Vision Canada, is considering three locations all on CP Rail property, including Highway 1 westbound at Blue Mountain Street, Highway 1 westbound at Schoolhouse Street and near Lougheed at Barnet. This is not the first time the city has considered opening the door to billboards. In 2013, an attempt was made to permit third-party advertising in three locations in south Coquitlam near Highway 1 and Lougheed Highway. But the necessary changes to the sign bylaw were not approved, with councillors Craig Hodge, Mae Reid and Mayor Richard Stewart voting against the recommendation along with thencouncillor Neal Nicholson. Most of the recommendations currently being considered come directly from the 2013 report to council, including imposing separation distances of 1,000 m between signs and ensur-
ing they are at least 150 m from residential-zoned property and 50 m from commercial or civic institutional-zoned properties. If signs are permitted, they could only be a maximum height of 8.6 m and maximum width of 7.5 m, and changeable digital signs would have to be fixed to a minimum of 10-second intervals. Video advertising would not be permitted under the bylaw changes. The move is being welcomed by the billboard advertising industry, which has asked the city for the changes. “I think it is time,” said Paul
Lee, the leasing manager with advertising company Pattison Outdoor. “The technology has changed a lot.” He said companies like Pattison share advertising space with municipalities to ensure that community messaging gets out to residents. Lee also noted that the billboards can be used during public emergencies and to advertise Amber Alerts when a child is abducted. As for concerns around distracted driving and safety — the key issues that led to the defeat of the sign bylaw changes back in 2013 — Lee said he has seen
no evidence that third-party advertising increases motor vehicle collisions. “Pattison already has a sign in Surrey and we have not yet got one complaint about accidents or distractions,” he said. Still, Mayor Stewart said he wonders why this issue needs to be dealt with when there are so many other pressing priorities facing the city. “I don’t know what has changed since we made the decision in 2013 other than staff is way busier and way more short-staffed,” he said. But Jim McIntyre, the city’s director of development ser-
vices, said most of the research and considerations had been done during the debate on the issue five years ago. He told council that he did not foresee the bylaw changes taking up much of staff’s time and said a draft bylaw could be completed by the end of the year. Following the initial draft, public and sign company consultation would begin in early 2019, with possible council adoption to follow, according to George Fujii, the director of development services. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Bike sharing will soon ride into Port Moody PoCo first and, now, PoMo for U-bicycle system Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
Even if you don’t have a bike, you’ll soon be able to ride one in Port Moody. The bike sharing service U-bicycle has reached a oneyear licensing agreement to place 36 of its lime-green and grey bicycles on public property around Port Moody along
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Grey and lime-green bikes from U-bicycle will soon be showing up at select locations in Port Moody. The dockless bike sharing system uses an app to buy time and unlock bikes. busy commercial and recreational routes.
But unlike established bike sharing systems such as Vancouver’s Mobi service, the new Port Moody service doesn’t require the bikes be parked in docking stations. Instead, they will be parked adjacent to designated public bike racks and riders can access them using an app downloaded to their mobile device. Riders then get a QR code to unlock a bike and a charge is administered to the rider’s account until the bike is locked again. Each bike also comes with a helmet locked to the frame. Bikes can be left at any
public bike rack or, if one isn’t available, at a spot that doesn’t impede traffic. Their location is tracked using GPS and U-bicycle has local agents available to round up wayward or improperly parked bikes. To ride a U-bicycle, registered users must open an account with a $49 deposit and they’re then charged $1 for every 30 minutes they ride. The charge begins as soon as a bike is unlocked and stops when it is locked again. Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said the simplicity and convenience of the service
will make it a boon for visitors as well as people who don’t own their own bike but would like to explore the city on two wheels. “As a regular cyclist, I know the value of having access to a bike to do short trips and even fill in the ‘last mile’ on longer trips, such as visitors arriving by SkyTrain,” Clay said in a city press release. U-bicycle is based in China but its North American operation is headed by a graduate of Simon Fraser University, Grace Min. The company has several hundred of its bicycles
in Victoria and its suburbs, and recently announced plans to roll out in Port Coquitlam. It’s also awaiting approval from Richmond city council to launch in that city. In Port Moody, the service will begin this month, with 26 bikes parked in nine locations. Another 10 bikes arrive in the fall.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
#FedBearDeadBear: More bear awareness is needed The editorial below is from the North Shore News, a Glacier Media sister paper of The Tri-City News. And while it addresses a specific bearrelated problem on the North Shore, the topic is familiar to Tri-City residents and the advice regarding people doing their part to save bars is welcome and timely.
I
n July 2014, a 93-year-old North vancouver woman had to be stitched up after a run-in with a bear. The bruin had pushed its way into her house and they had startled each other in the kitchen. DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n
The woman survived, but conservation officers shot the bear, which had been living off garbage. It is precisely the scenario we work so hard to avoid. but making the news recently are frankly baffling videos of a North Shore family deliberately feeding a mother bear and cub from their back door, clearly mistaking the wildlife for furry friends appreciative of a snack. by habituating these bears, the family has signed their death warrants. We’d be surprised if mother and cub are still alive when this editorial
TC
comes off the press. The family in the video is heard speaking Russian and so it’s entirely possible they haven’t read educational materials from the North Shore black bear Society or any of dozens of stories and editorials warning against this very activity. a fed bear is a dead bear. Education is the first and best line of defence when it comes to protecting wildlife. Ironically, the family’s social media videos will go a long way in showing people what not to do. but this is just an egregious
example of people luring bears on purpose. across the North Shore, there are longtime residents with sloppy habits when it comes to garbage, bird feeders, tree fruit and other attractants that threaten our ursine neighbours. These are people who can’t claim ignorance and for whom education will do nothing to protect bears. To our conservation officers and municipal staff, we say: Start writing bylaw tickets. Write them until your pens run dry. and when you run out of pens, you can use some of ours. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Row, row, row boats at Buntzen The Editor, Re. “Row or no for a local lake?” (front page, The Tri-City News, July 20) and “Rowing would hurt Buntzen tranquility” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 20). Having attended the recent public information meeting in Anmore and the subsequent presentation to Anmore village council, I found the reception by the majority of those in attendance to be interested and quite positive. Mr. Burgers and Mr. Richardson did a good job explaining how the course would be laid out and did their best to answer questions and address concerns. The training area would be down the middle of the lake, presenting minimal disruption to fishers and other small watercraft users on the lake. For most of the year, there would be only one row of white buoys marking a line down the middle of the course. The buoys marking the lanes would only be in for a few weeks, a couple of times a year.

A presentation was made last month to Anmore village council about a proposal to have a national rowing training centre based at Buntzen Lake. the lake would create no wake and be powered by electric motors. The coaches use a wireless communication system to talk to the rowers during their training sessions, eliminating noise.
It was explained that the lake would be used for training purposes only and that there would never be any competitions hosted. For most of the summer, when the lake is getting the most use by the
public, the majority of the athletes are in Europe competing. At the Anmore meeting, council expressed concern over the proposed site for the boat house at the end of the east service road, the main
concern being that many people use that narrow road as a walking and cycling trail. Council’s suggestion was to locate the boathouse at the north end of the lake, which would be accessed on the east service road. The road on that side is wider and better maintained. There is also a lakeshore walking trail that provides hikers with a more scenic option than the roadway. Mr. Burgers and Mr. Richardson went to the residents and council members of Anmore with their initial presentation to provide residents an opportunity to see the benefits of having an Olympic training site and answer questions on any impact on the community. Canada’s rowing team has a history of medal success in the world championships and Olympics. This is an opportunity for residents of Anmore, Belcarra and the Tri-Cities to share in the commitment and successes of these elite amateur athletes who would be living in our community as excellent role models for youth.

The Editor, Re. “Who else gets to vote themselves $48k for leaving?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 25), “Mayor shouldn’t get $48k” (Letters, July 18) and “$48K payout for Moore when he leaves office” (July 11). I am more than a little disheartened by the negative comments towards Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore and our city council. These are not jobs people do for the money but they obviously need to be remunerated, particularly the mayor’s position as it is full-time. Actually, I am surprised how little most mayors make considering they have to take leave or quit their regular jobs to take on city responsibilities. In the corporate world, someone running a company of equivalent size to PoCo would realize at least 10 times what the mayor is paid. I feel PoCo’s mayor and council have done a excellent job and do not begrudge them their remuneration, or departure payment, which is fair and excellent value. Chris Whelan, Port Coquitlam

from $300 for a simple filming permit to much more money if several fees are required to shut down roads or civic facilities to accommodate filming. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Port Moody will develop policies governing filming but the city shouldn’t expect an economic windfall, even as it becomes increasingly popular for movie and TV productions, cautioned one councillor. According to a report presented to a council committee of the whole meeting July 10, the city has issued eight filming permits so far this year while 23 were issued all of 2017. Popular locations include Clarke Street, Newport Village, Eagle Ridge Hospital, Heritage Woods secondary and Rocky Point Park. Kate Zanon, general manager of community services, said PoMo should take a supportive approach to production companies seeking to film in the city by streamlining permitting procedures and creating guidelines for things like noise and overnight filming, and ensuring popular locations don’t become too disruptive. “If you don’t have policy, you can turn a positive into a negative,” she said. Coun. Barbara Junker said
PUBLIC HEALTH
CardiovasCular drug reCalled More than 30,000 people in British Columbia could be affected by a recall of the cardiovascular drug valsartan after health officials found an impurity in the drug. Pharmacare is advising pharmacies to use their standard corporate recall pro-
cesses to identify and inform patients who currently have a supply of any of the affected lot numbers. Patients are also being requested to replace their existing supply as soon as possible. According to a press release from the BC Pharmacy
Association, pharmacists can ensure a patient’s drug therapy is continued by adapting their prescription to another medication in the same classification. Patients should visit the pharmacy where the original prescription was filled if possible. Notice No. 2-1
COUN. BARBARA JUNKER film production can be especially troublesome to businesses in popular locations like Clarke Street. She said one business owner recently expressed to her frustration when a production overstayed its permitted time, affecting access to the area by customers. Zanon said having tighter policies in place would ensure production requirements match “the values of the community.” She said the film industry is accustomed to working with policies when production companies are on location. “They just want to know it’s available.” Zanon also suggested a filming policy could include provision for the creation of a reserve fund to pool permit fees that could then be used to pay for amenities that benefit the community. Those fees can range

COQUITLAM
Towers going up, up
Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society
Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Another 50-storey tower is expected to go up in Burquitlam after the proposed project cleared public hearing and third reading Monday at Coquitlam city council. The latest highrise development will be located on Clarke Road between Cottonwood and Smith avenues, and will feature a tower and podium design containing 295 market residential units, 105 purposebuilt rental units and 15 belowmarket rental units. “We’ve managed to provide quite a mix here,” said Steve Jedreicich, the senior vice-president of Ledingham McAllister, the project applicant. If the development receives fourth reading, which is expected to come at the next council meeting, it will not be the only tower of its size in the neighbourhood. Last year, council approved a 49-storey project at Como Lake Avenue and Clarke Road, which also includes a 15-storey purpose-built rental building. Concert Properties is also looking at building a 50-storey tower on its property at Burquitlam Park. In fact, Ledingham McAllister’s building will not even be the only highrise on the block as, also on Monday, council approved third reading

A roller smooths out the ruts in the 1-km gravel road to the Mossom Creek Hatchery. Last month, the roadwork was undertaken with the support of the city of Port Moody and donations from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115 and Lafarge Canada. of more than 2,000 tonnes of material, donated by Lafarge, and grading and compacting by Local 115 apprentices, the road is now smooth and ready for visits. “The project has proceeded with no issues and the end result is an amazing new road to our hatchery,” Ryan said after the work was done. Shannon Ladewig of Lafarge Canada said the company’s donation is the continuation of a partnership that started when Mossom was rebuilt after a fire and aligns with the company’s
goals of education, environment and sustainability. Jeff Gorham and Brian Cochrane of Local 115 said the project was an opportunity to demonstrate commitment to protecting the environment and helping the longstanding hatchery while also giving an education opportunity to young workers. The city of PoMo, meanwhile, assisted with permits and will pave a short stretch between the gravel road and a laneway leading to Ioco Road.
Young people in Coq., speak Coquitlam youth can have a say about how they play. The city is asking its tweens, teens and young adults to complete a survey. There’s one for kids ages 11 to 18, and another for young adults 19 to 24 years to provide feedback. The city wants to know their thoughts on drop-in or registered programs at its recreation facilities, park amenities and activities, and about volunteering. “The questions aim to provide some insight into strengths in these areas as well as values and feelings of participants,” said a city press release. The survey is part of an update to Coquitlam’s youth strategy, which was last done in 2006. This is the first phase of the update; the second will take place in the fall when the city will be looking to hear from youths and from adults who support youth at home, at school and in the community. The survey and more information on it are available at coquitlam. ca/youthplan. To entice youth to participate in the survey, the city will give one lucky respondent a $100 gift card to Coquitlam Centre.

olunteering or visiting Port Moody’s Mossom Creek Hatchery no longer requires a bumpy ride up a gravel maintenance road after a union, a concrete company and the city teamed up. Now, the 1-km route is more like a regular road, with a compact, rut-free surface and slanted to one side to promote drainage. “We’re really happy with this, it will really make a difference for the people who come to visit,” Kevin Ryan, president of the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, told The Tri-City News during a site visit last month. Pat Dennett, who helped coordinate the project, which is valued at $100,000, said everything came together perfectly last week to ensure the work got done in a timely manner. The the roadwork was undertaken donations of labour, material and equipment from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115 and Lafarge Canada and the support of the city of PoMo. It took six months to bring all the players together during a window when the hatchery is less busy, according to Ruth Foster, one of the hatchery’s founders, and now visitors can get up to the hatchery without worrying about losing a muffler. Foster explained that in heavy rain, water would cascade down the road, creating ruts that became deeper with use. Thanks to the trucking in

terry fox run
Hometown Run is in need of some helpers Volunteers are needed for the 38th annual Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. Run organizer Dave Teixeira, who at last Tuesday’s PoCo city council meeting accepted a proclamation from the city to declare Sept. 10 to 16 Terry Fox Week, said helpers are needed for a variety of roles on — and leading up to — Sunday, Sept. 16. To lend a hand, call 604418-9177. As well, he’s asking 38 residents with cancer or who are in remission to step forward to be Terry’s Team members; survivors are honoured with red shirts and are placed at the front of the run line.
In his presentation to PoCo council, Teixeira said the cancer Fox was diagnosed with in 1977, which resulted in the loss of his leg, had a 15% survival rate; now, with research including through the Terry Fox Research Institute and other organizations, osteosarcoma patients see a 90% survival rate. For this year’s Hometown Run — one of the biggest in Canada for participation and fundraising — there will be four lengths (3-, 5-, 7- and 10-km) with longer distances crossing the Coast Meridian Overpass. Three-time cancer survivor and dragon boat paddler Deb Middleton will be the keynote speaker while the Giggle Dam

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing
loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.
If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

Grade 1 bands SFU, Dowco ready for worlds JaniS CleUGh The Tri-CiTy News
They haven’t seen each other all season on the Pacific northwest highland games circuit. But, this month, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, which has a handful of TriCity residents, and the Port Coquitlam-based Dowco Triumph Street Band will face each other — as well as 20 other Grade 1 pipe and drum groups — for the worlds at Glasgow Green in Scotland. It’s a fiercely competitive event, seeing elite bands from New Zealand, Canada, France, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland vie for the trophy clinched last year by Inveraray & District. This year, the Scottish winners are defending their title with second and third place finishers Field Marshal Montgomery (Northern Ireland) and St. Laurence O’Toole (Ireland) also in line. But SFU and Dowco say they’ve never sounded better and also aim to reach the top in 2018. SFU’s Grade 1 band has

Coquitlam’s Reid Maxwell, SFUPB’s lead drummer and a Scottish native, said the Grade
1 band has competed against itself this year on the Pacific northwest circuit, starting in May in Victoria followed by the B.C. Highland Games and Scottish Festival at Coquitlam Town Centre Park in June; last month, they also travelled to the Kamloops Highland Games and the Enumclaw event. “We’ve had a great winter of rehearsals and we’ve
been playing really well. We can hear it. The sound is where we want it to be and we’ve been very organized. That comes in part to Alan’s leadership,” he said, referring to Pipe Major Alan Bevan who took over from Terry Lee in 2013. Maxwell added, “I think it’s easy to see that one thing leads to another. There’s momentum.”
On Sunday, the SFUPB will give a free outdoor concert on Burnaby Mountain at 2 p.m. (by the Lot E parking lot) before it flies to Scotland for the worlds on the Glasgow Green, on Aug. 17 (finals) and Aug. 18. Dowco’s past year also has seen growth, scooping the Bellingham Highland Games in June with its entire international crew. Two weeks later,
it scored ninth overall — with an eighth place in the piping category — at the United Kingdom Championships in Belfast, North Ireland. Dowco has placed in the world finals eight times in a row and “we continue to strive for improvements year over year,” pipe major David Hilder told The Tri-City News on Monday, noting the band has recruited top musicians such as Johnny Rowe, a world champion bass drummer from Toronto, and world champion lead drummer Gary Corkin, of Northern Ireland. Dowco is playing three concerts at Bard on the Beach (during the Honda Celebration of Light fireworks), said Hilder who is one of four Tri-City residents in the band along with family members Shaunna Hilder (pipe sergeant), Andrena Hilder (lead tenor drummer) and Liam Hilder (veteran piper). • The 71th annual World Pipe Band Championships are on Aug. 17 and 18 in Scotland.

Scouting over the years Best grad at JaniS Cleugh
The Tri-CiTy News
Some 95 artifacts tracing the Scouting movement — including its surge in Coquitlam — are now on show at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Curator Jasmine Moore, heritage manager for the Coquitlam Heritage Society, assembled the historical pieces from the society’s collection as well as donations from David Wallace, a former Scout in Vancouver and a Scout leader for his son’s group in Coquitlam during the 1980s. His Scouting clothes, hats, books, badges, camping gear and other paraphernalia dating back to the 1960s can be seen in a large glass box reserved for the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame. Besides Wallace’s gear, there’s also a large chalk drawing of a Girl Guide from the 1960s, donated by Louise Walters and Sandra Seekins, that was left on a Maillardville porch; it was likely from the home of a former francophone Girl Guide leader in the area. “At the time, there weren’t a lot of organizations for girls so we thought it was important to include this art,” said Candrina Bailey, executive director of Coquitlam Heritage. Coquitlam 1st was the first Scouting group to be founded

nection is strong, too. In 1955, Jean Lambert, who holds a Freedom of the City key, brought together 24 louveteaux (boys aged nine to 11) for the inaugural meeting of Les Scouts du Canada in Maillardville. And, in 1962, his wife, Suzanne, begun the Maillardville francophone Girl Guides; she went on to become the president of the French Scouts of B.C. Today, there are more than two dozen Scouts and Girl Guide organizations in the Tri-Cities, honouring the traditions, values and pursuits set forth by Lord Baden-Powell. Moore — who had help with the exhibit from Alexis Fladmark, Nisha Gill, Shay Henry and Abby Brown-John — said the society had the Scouting history show ready for this past spring; however, with the sudden death of Les Wingrove, the Sports Hall of Fame organizers bumped the exhibit until July, in order to pay tribute to the late lacrosse legend from Coquitlam. • A History of Scouting ends in November at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St. Coquitlam).

Devon Henderson doesn’t regret her university degree. In 2013, the HenderSon Coquitlam resident graduated from Simon Fraser University with a major in communications and minors in English and publishing. But, soon afterward, the Dr. Charles Best secondary alumna was off to Toronto for her true love: comedy. And she said the minute she walked into the Second City — the place where such legends as Martin Short, John Candy and Mike Myers got their roots — she knew she had taken the right career path. “It feels like a temple,” Henderson said of the renowned comedy theatre on Mercer Street. “You see photos of Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara up on the walls and you see that
amazing stage they performed on. It’s the best to run material on.” A graduate in long-form improvisation at the club (she also works for The Bad Dog Theatre Company), Henderson performs in a number of roles including as half of the sketch/improv duo TwoSon. Henderson has another comedy troupe called Girlband, and the Second City longform grad team, Grim Diesel. In June, the 27-year-old comic was cast in Second City’s Improv Showdown, an educational and confidence-building workshop for kids, aged seven to 13, in the summer. It’s a competitive, theatre sports-type show where two teams battle for comedy points through games. “It’s going really well,” Henderson said last week after eight sessions. “Most of the time, they love coming up on stage and performing. It gives them a chance to be silly. Our main goal is to make sure they are the stars and that they win every time.”

Papers from the past Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Dorothy Doherty is sifting through the paper she’s collected over the past two decades, trying to make sense of the abundance. The retired art and civilizations teacher has accumulated piles of envelopes, office paper, magazines, cardboard, napkins and paper placemats and organized them neatly in her onebedroom suite on Burnaby Mountain. They have served her well, she said, but now it’s time to let them go. Last month, Doherty began her first city artist-in-residency, using the paper she’s gathered to create collages and sculptures three days a week, in The Outlet at Leigh Square Community Arts Village in Port Coquitlam. It’s not an easy task to sort through. “Every piece is charged with memories,” she said, “so when I go through each one it’s really a way to deal with my past.” Doherty, who studied art and art history at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Capilano University and UVic, doesn’t believe there’s less paper today, as promised with the introduction of computers: Her home is next to the co-op’s recycling centre and, each week, she sees a dozen full bins hauled away with paper products. For her personal paper collection, though, she sees a release of artistic energy as “each one, placed with others, can tell a story.” The artwork she’s creating in her three-month city residency will be on view in Field Notes & Paper Diaries, a show opening Aug. 30 in the Michael Wright

Panthers bring in new girl to coach goalies Team’s new goalie coach has carved her own path to the bench MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Port Moody Panthers haven’t had much success. In fact they haven’t made it to the Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs in six years. But the team is hoping a new girl in town will change their misfortunes. That’s not a typo. The Panthers have hired Jennifer Gilligan as its new goalie coach. And while the 25-year-old from Maple Ridge comes with a long list of coaching credentials including being the manager and senior instructor at Pro Formance Goalie School and the female varsity assistant coach at Delta Hockey Academy, the Panthers — who opened their training camp on Monday — is her first assignment to an all-male junior team. Gilligan admits her gender may present an additional challenge to winning her charges’ trust and confidence. But it’s not like she hasn’t infiltrated hockey’s old-boys’ club before. Gilligan started her hockey career when she was nine years old, playing defence on a girls’ team. But when her team’s goalie moved up to the next age category, she became part of the contingent that rotated into net to take her place. Gilligan got a shutout in her first game. Although, she recalled, she may have stopped only nine shots. But that was enough to get her hooked. “It came easy,” Gilligan said of her new position.
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Jennifer Gilligan is the new goalie coach for the Port Moody Panthers of the Pacific Junior Hockey League. She discovered coaching after a playing career that took her to the University of New Hampshire and Syracuse University. Two years later she stepped up to rep hockey, playing for a boys’ team. The game was faster, Gilligan said, and as the league’s only female player she was constantly being challenged to prove her mettle. “I definitely became more assertive and aggressive,” Gilligan said. The experience served her well when Gilligan graduated to a spot on a junior women’s team even though she was at least four years younger than
her 18- and 19-year-old teammates. The team was based in Richmond but played in a league with teams in far-flung locales like Boston, Vermont, Washington D.C., and Alberta. That meant packing as many as five games into weekend road trips from Thursday to Sunday. When Gilligan was 17, she signed with another junior team in Kitchener, Ont., then eventually played four years of college hockey at the University of New Hampshire
and Syracuse University. And that’s where it appeared her hockey journey would end. Gilligan returned home to B.C. and got a job, first as a barista and then in sales. But, she quickly discovered, the 9-5 desk gig was not for her. So she reached out to one of her former coaches who was now working at the Delta Hockey Academy. “I’ve always had a knack for the tactical aspect of hockey,” Gilligan said of her coaching inclinations. “I take what I
know about the game and I put it all together from a goalie’s perspective.” At the Academy and gigs at various other hockey schools and even some high school programs, Gilligan has worked with players from both genders, but she said she’s developed techniques specifically to win the trust of male players like pulling on her own gear and skating between the pipes to show them what she can do. “It’s really cool to see all of a sudden the light bulb turns

on,” Gilligan said. “They no longer see me as Jen, the female goalie coach.” Gilligan said she’s excited about the opportunity to help turn around the fortunes of the Panthers. But she’s also acutely aware her gender might bring extra scrutiny. “There’s so much room for improvement,” she said of the team that hasn’t finished any higher than fifth place in the PJHL standings. “But they’re kinda open to change.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

Adanacs trail BCJALL final after 2 home losses
Home teams have yet to win in series MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Coquitlam Adanacs had some bad news and good news heading into last night’s fourth game of their BC Junior A Lacrosse League final series against the New Westminster Salmonbellies. The bad news is: they’re trailing the Salmonbellies in the best-of-seven final two games to one after dropping both their games over the weekend. The good news is: last night’s game (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline) was at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena and the visiting team has won every game in the series so far. Coquitlam will need to continue that pattern if they’re to square the final after the Salmonbellies’ Ryan Jones scored the game-winner with 3:06 left to play in Sunday’s third game at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex to take a 7-6 win and the series’ advantage. The visiting Bellies also beat the Adanacs in Coquitlam in last Friday’s second game, 6-4, after Coquitlam had opened the series last

Coquitlam Adanacs’ Lucas Shein and Jalen Chaster put the squeeze on New Westminster Salmonbellies’ Ryan Jones in last Friday’s second game of their BC Junior A Lacrosse League final at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Coquitlam lost that game 6-4 as well as Sunday’s third game, 7-6. Wednesday with a 9-3 win in New West. Sunday, the Salmonbellies built a 4-2 lead late in the first period but Larson Sundown and Chase Scanlan scored in the last 1:05 to tie the game at 4-4 heading into the break. Tre Leclair put the visitors back in front with a short-
handed goal just over a minute into the second period, then Jones restored New West’s twogoal advantage shortly after the frame’s midway point. Again, Coquitlam battled back. Former Salmonbellie Larson Sundown made it 6-5 after five minutes had been played in
the third period then Ryland Rees tied it 35 seconds later. That set the table for Jones’ winner, which was also his third goal of the night. Just as on the scoreboard, there wasn’t much to choose between the two rivals on the shot clock either, as New West held a slim advantage there as
well, 43-42. Sundown’s three points, which included a pair of goals, led the Adanacs’ attack in which 13 players registered at least a point. Jones added a couple of assists to his three goals to lead all New West scorers. Friday, New West had a 5-2

lead early in the third period and hung on for the 6-4 victory, after Chase Scanlan scored a pair of goals late in the game to get the home team to within a goal. But Tre Leclaire snuffed any hope of overtime when he scored an insurance goal into Coquitlam’s empty net with three seconds left in regulation time. The Salmonbellies led the game 3-1 after the first period on goals by Will Malcolm, Charlie Kurtenback and Cam Garlin. Scanlan, with his first of all four Coquitam’s goals, replied for the Adanacs. Nathaniel Kozevnikov extended New West’s lead to 4-1 just over seven minutes into the second period, but Scanlan got that back on the power play, converting the set up from Dylan Foulds and Dennon Armstrong. Malcolm’s second goal of the game extended New West’s lead to 5-2 before five minutes had been played in the third period. Scanlan’s four goals was Coquitlam’s offence, while John Hofseth contributed three assists. The Adanacs fired 33 shots at New West’s keeper, Erik Kratz. The Adanacs’ Christian Del Bianco faced 46 shots. Game five of the series will be played Friday, 7:30 p.m., at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

Boomers’ purchasing power ‘inflating’ cabin prices in recreational hotspots The deep pockets of Canadian baby boomers are “driving and inflating” the price of recreational real estate in vacation hotspots across Canada, not least in B.C., according to the latest Re/Max Recreational Property Report.
apply, the median cost of a waterfront property fell by a full 25 per cent from last year’s $980,000 to $735,000 this year. But according to a local agent, this is little to do with the planned tax.
A survey of Re/Max agents in popular recreational areas showed that retirees are driving the demand for vacation cabins in 91 per cent of the hotspots examined, and that 78 per cent of those areas are seeing price rises.
Jerry Redman, the owner of Re/Max Kelowna who supplied the local stats for the report, told Glacier Media, “It’s a misleading figure, unfortunately. The speculation tax probably played a small part in this, but that [median price] figure is mostly to do with a higher number of waterfront condos being sold versus detached houses the previous year. A lot of condo inventory that was new and sold 10 or so years ago is coming back on the market. In fact, we’ve seen higher sales figures this year, since the speculation tax was announced, which was the reverse of what we expected.”
Across British Columbia, recreational properties saw an annual price increase of 19 per cent. But this varies hugely within different regions. The median price of a waterfront cabin in Tofino, where the proposed speculation tax will not be payable, increased by a staggering 112 per cent, more than doubling from spring 2017’s $659,000 to $1.4 million in 2018. However, local Re/Max agent Judy Gray was quick to point out that Tofino is such a small market, “the numbers get skewed.” Gray said in a phone interview, “Prices are up, but not by those extremes. It’s because of a lack of high-end inventory a year ago – there was nothing to sell – but this year we’ve had some high-end waterfront inventory.” She added, “I don’t think Tofino’s rising prices are related to being free of speculation tax, as in my experience, most buyers don’t realize that it is. Most buyers that come to us think the speculation tax is province-wide. That’s not a good thing. It’s going to hurt the provincial coffers, as [the B.C. government] won’t have the Property Transfer Tax that they like to grab onto.” Ski cabins in Sun Peaks, which is also unaffected by B.C.’s speculation tax, saw a year-over-year increase of 34 per cent, “due to its available services and schooling attracting retirees as well as families,” according to the report.

He added, “However, the speculation tax has caused angst to a lot of existing owners, who may be motivated to sell now, if it was the time to move on anyways.”
ACTIVE LISTINGS†
Elton Ash, regional executive vice-president of Re/Max Western Canada, told Glacier Media, “Overall, British Columbia continues to be a favourite destination for Canadians to invest in Recreational property, especially with the Baby Boomer demographic. “The only dark cloud hanging over this segment of the real estate market is the proposed ‘speculation tax.’ It has introduced uncertainty to the marketplace in B.C. as people question the overall motivation of this particular government and whether this tax may broaden to more areas within the province. However, at this time, we have not witnessed any strong negative response to the tax.”

Looking ahead, the report said, “In the next two to five years, brokers in B.C. speculate the market will see a shift from retirees to younger buyers driving demand for recreational properties, as the latter accumulate more purchasing power.”

SKELTON, Emily Carol (nee Einarson) May 21, 1941 - July 23, 2018 With enormous sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Carol Skelton surrounded by her family after a short and very courageous battle with cancer at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC on July 23, 2018. Carol was born May 21, 1941 in Winnipeg, MB and moved to Vancouver in 1946 where she grew up in a house with her mother and sister Jeanette on West Seventh Avenue. Carol attended Cecil Rhodes Elementary and graduated from King Edward High School in 1959. She met her husband, Jim Skelton, while working at BC Tel. Married in 1962, Jim and Carol lived in New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver before settling in Coquitlam in 1970 to raise their family. Besides her family, nothing was more important to Carol than her dogs. For many years Carol groomed and proudly showed her poodles. In her final year her whippet Mr. Man was her loyal companion. Over the years Carol enjoyed running, cross stitching, yoga, lunch dates with her grandchildren, showing off her dogs at the local park, volunteering at the Lakeshore Care Centre, and travelling with her sister. Carol is predeceased by her mother Dorothy Venables in 2009, her father Murray Einarson in 1977, step-father Richard Venables in 2007 and step-grandson Patrick Lodders in 2015. She is survived by her husband Jim; three children Michael (Evelyn), Dana (John) and Michele (Dan); sister Jeanette (Bob); half-sister Patty (Matt); halfbrother Murray (Renee); grandchildren Jordan, Emily, Vanna, Alexander, and Eric; step-grandchildren Jac, Christian (Colleen), and Jes (Gavin); as well as numerous other family members. Donations may be made in memory of Carol to the Terry Fox Foundation. Celebration of Life is scheduled for Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Royal City Curling Club, 75 East Sixth Avenue, New Westminster.
