Consultation on Arbutus temporary path begins City hosts public workshops about the possible surfaces Sept. 17, 21 and 22

Naoibh O’Connor

noconnor@vancourier.com

What could be a contentious debate around the best material to use for the rest of the temporary pathway along Arbutus Greenway kicks off this week. The city is hosting public workshops about possible surfaces Sept. 17, 21 and 22. Crews started laying the temporary path over the summer, but work was halted after critics complained residents should have been consulted before a material like asphalt was selected. Some argued the city was “paving paradise,” that the smooth surface would create safety concerns and that a more porous surface is preferable. Other users were happy to see the asphalt and disappointed when the city stopped paving. The temporary path is meant to encourage residents to become familiar with the entire length of the corridor while the greenway’s ﬁnal design is being considered.

“During the consultation period over the next couple of years, we want to have lots of people using and experiencing the corridor — even those who are already using it, we’d like them to use it for much longer lengths of travel,” explained Jerry Dobrovolny, the city’s general manager of engineering. “It’s a very, very cool project. We had a legitimate criticism that we went ahead with the temporary path without consultation so we agreed, that’s ﬁne, we can pause for a moment and have a discussion about that, but we will still get the temporary path in before the end of the year and we’ll have a much bigger consultation starting about the overall project.” At this point, asphalt runs from 16th to 33rd, while crushed stone was put down between 33rd and 41st, as well as between 10th and 16th. Ultimately, the temporary path with run from Fir Street all the way to Milton Street in Marpole. The

existing asphalt will remain while consultation on the ﬁnal design takes place. The temporary surface for the rest of the route is what’s up for discussion now. Dobrovolny said hardsurface material options for the temporary path include asphalt, concrete, brick, rubber, geocell (a type of

structural soil that can be used as a harder surface) and crushed stone. Each has advantages and disadvantages, along with cost implications. Some would also be a better ﬁt for permanent as opposed to temporary installation, according to Dobrovolny. “We’re putting forward a

range of options that technically exist,” he said. Examples of the materials in use across the city include rubber running tracks and geocell material next to buildings and condos. Crushed stone can be found on paths in some city parks. “In some of our parks, we have stone and asphalt side by side,” added Dobrovolny. “For example, beside Trout Lake, there’s a crushed stone walking path next to an asphalt cycling path.” That said, when given an option, sometimes pedestrians opt to use the bike path in dry weather to avoid getting dusty and to avoid getting muddy in rainy weather. Strollers and wheelchairs can be used on crushed stone. “But we also know clearly from our work with advisory committees that the smoother the surface, the more accessible it is and the more comfortable it is. Like I said, with any of these there are advantages and disadvantages,” Dobrovolny said. One of the criticisms

some residents have about asphalt is its aesthetics. “We use asphalt and concrete as our standard. When you look at all the new sections of the seawall, there’s asphalt for cyclists, there’s concrete for pedestrians,” Dobrovolny said. “They’re smooth hard surfaces that stand not only the test of time, but are also based on input we’ve received from a whole variety of stakeholders. But we’re happy to sit back and have a discussion now and listen to more feedback.” City staff will report back on the consultation meetings in October and the temporary path is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The public workshops run from 1 to 3 p.m., Sept. 17, 7 to 9 p.m., Sept. 21 and 7 to 9 p.m. Sept. 22. Further information, including the locations of the workshops, can be found on the city website at vancouver.ca/arbutus-greenway. @naoibh

Park board unleashes dog park consultation Final report expected next spring John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

While the sheer volume and regulatory issues at play may be daunting, it’s the Vancouver Park Board’s hope that dogs will soon get their day in the sun. The board announced plans late last week for an ambitious, year-long consultation that aims to cater to canines and their owners across the city. Specifically, the plan seeks to better understand how to share parks, green spaces and other amenities with a burgeoning dog population in a city teeming with growth and density concerns. The first phase of the consultation process, called People, Parks and Dogs: A Strategy for Sharing Vancouver’s Parks, is on now and concludes Oct. 14. Further rounds of public consultation will follow and a final report will go before the park board next spring. “It’s about sharing space because we are a city that’s growing up,” Vancouver Park Board chair Sarah Kirby-Young told the Courier Monday. “We’ve got a finite amount of land and we’re densifying. Green space and parks kind of become people’s back yards so we have to find a way to coexist and share the space.” Statistics provided by the park board illustrate the massive task ahead: there are 230 parks in the city, all of which permit dogs on leash. There are 36 off-leash areas, six of which are fenced and three are beaches. The most striking stat, however, suggests less than 15 per cent of the 145,000 dogs in the city are licensed. Those numbers are a particular sticking point for a pair of residents’ groups contacted by the Courier. The group known as West End Families in Action (WEFA) is concerned about the density crunch in its part of the city and questions the validity of a planning process that accounts for so few licensed dogs. As of now, there are three off-leash parks in the area: at Nelson Park, near the Stanley Park tennis courts and at Sunset Beach near the Burrard Street Bridge.

The park board is now undertaking a public consultation process around dog parks in Vancouver.

are also lacking, as the nearest facilities — New Brighton, Burrard View, Strathcona or Trout Lake — are at least a 40-minute walk for nearby residents. “The city’s mandate is that dog off leash areas be accessible and a walkable distance for dog owners — a 40-minute walk is neither of those for anyone,” she said. “Instead, to get to these off-leash spaces, one drives there, which adds another car to the roads.” Kirby-Young conceded the licensing numbers are problematic and that ﬁnding consensus on how to best cater to dogs in a large urban setting is a daunting task. “I don’t know if it’s a lack of awareness or lack

of desire, but I can tell you that it will be really helpful for us if that percentage was higher,” she said. “It’s a bit like doing the census as a resident — it gives government great information in terms of allocation funding for all sorts of services. The principle behind licensing is similar, because it gives you good data on where those dogs are and in terms of locating dog parks.” Residents can take part in the consultation both online and in person, including at a series of drop-in open houses throughout the city.

“With an estimated less than 15 per cent of dogs licensed in the city, it is difﬁcult to make these planning decisions,” said group member Kathryn Gibbons. “Space is at a premium in the West End.” The same holds true for Grandview Woodland Area Council members, of which there are more than 1,000. “There seems to be no direct beneﬁt to a dog owner by licensing their dog,” said council chair Dorothy Barkley. “It just allows animal control another vehicle to stop, identify and harass responsible owners who have taken the time to license their pet.” Barkley suggested amenities for dogs in her area

ON CBC’S MARKETPLA Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

Justin Fung, a tech worker in his mid-30s, is one of the organizers behind the HALT (Housing Action for Local Taxpayers) housing rally taking place at 2 p.m., Sept. 17, at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The group wants housing to be a top issue in the 2017 provincial election. Guest speakers include SFU professor Josh Gordon, lawyer Christine Duhaime, heritage activist Caroline Adderson and Generation Squeeze’s Paul Kershaw. Fung grew up in Vancouver and lives in a two-bedroom condo with his wife and pre-school-aged daughter. The Courier talked to him about the rally and his concern other residents are being pushed out of the city. Is HALT focused on renters or potential homebuyers?

We’re focused on both. Our stance is really [that] people who work here and want to live here can afford to do so. If you’re going to contribute to your community, if you’re going to contribute income tax to the tax base, you deserve to have an affordable home. That’s a really simple premise. Whether that’s a rental or whether you own a home, it doesn’t matter.

Justin Fung is a member of HALT — Housing Action for Local Taxpayers, which is staging a housing rally called #HALT the Madness at 2 p.m. at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Sept. 17. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET What’s the best case scenario?

Best case scenario is there are a reasonable amount of vacancies in the rental market, that renters are treated with respect by their landlords. Today, with the rampant home price increases and with the very little rental supply that’s out there, landlords have a lot of power and they’ve been evicting tenants in the name of trying to ﬁnd someone who’s willing to pay higher rent. Those are things that should not happen. Talking about people getting into the housing market and buying, we want to see familyfriendly homes that are realistic and affordable for people. Ultimately, we need to have solutions around

foreign money distorting our markets and we need to deal with having the right type of supply coming on line so it remains a livable city and that young families have that opportunity to grow up in the city if they choose. Do you have specific measures you’d like to see implemented?

The ﬁrst step is to really deal with the foreign money. This is what has been driving everything else. It’s driven a lot of speculation, both foreign and local speculators in terms of our housing market. Our homes are being treated like piggy banks by a lot of foreign investors It’s madness that we’re doing that.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

News

election to push for affordable housing Are you not satisfied by a vacant home tax or a foreign buyers tax?

I’m concerned about their efﬁcacy and whether they are targeting the right things. A 15 per cent foreign buyers tax simply is an increased barrier to entry, but it’s a one-time tax. What we’d like to see, and one of the things we’ve been pushing very hard for, is the B.C. Housing Affordability Fund pro-

posal put forward by Tom Davidoff where we would actually have a means check against a home that you own. So, a property tax surcharge that would be offset by income tax paid in Canada. That really speaks to what HALT is all about — housing action for local taxpayers. It’s to say we want equal ground. We want fairness in terms of trying to get into the housing market.

Will HALT endorse a political party for the next provincial election?

I’m not sure yet. If we got to a point where we felt that one of the parties is going to make the right decision, we may at some point. Our view is to make sure that all parties listen to our concerns and that they’re willing to address them. We are angry and resentful about a lot of the inac-

“Fancy Tea”

tion that’s happened, but we have also seen that, perhaps through some of our advocacy, action is starting to be taken. This is turning into probably the number one election issue heading into May 2017. It really is about governments responding and doing the right thing.

Five days a week, I walk through bleak alleys behind the hustle, bustle and yelling along Hastings Street on the city’s Downtown Eastside. Midway down the alley, I pass the homeless camp that sprang up near Hastings and Carrall Streets last spring. As I peer through the grey chainlink fence at the figures in tents, I notice that at times up to half of the camp’s residents are Indigenous people. I don’t know how they ended up in this place so far from their home First Nations. I only know that they are here, nowhere to go yesterday or today and who knows about tomorrow. It was the same in 2014 when a homeless camp sprung up at Oppenheimer Park before being cleared out by police under court order. More than half that camp’s residents were Indigenous people. What struck me then and still resonates with me now is the reticence from provincial and federal Indigenous leadership about this issue. The camps’ residents are surely their most vulnerable and marginalized citizens. They needed a strong voice to advocate for them, and the influence of an agency to lobby municipally, provincially and federally. Indigenous leaders were quick to comment about natural resource issues, LNG and economic development. Yet not a word was spoken about the homeless camps, not even when police turfed Indigenous residents out of Oppenheimer into the street with nowhere to go in 2014. But last week, this issue really hit home with me. Just blocks away from the homeless camp on Hastings Street, B.C. First Nations chiefs were in town meeting with B.C. Premier Christy Clark at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Only one tribal official, Ucluelet First Nation Legislature President Les Dorion, made his way to the camp to look for any of his people. Housing crises don’t just happen on-reserve. There, people at least have extended family and tribe resources to turn to in extreme situations. Here, an extreme situation can lead to a prolonged stay in a

homeless camp. In Vancouver, there are Indigenous housing societies with housing projects for Indigenous people. But they are full to capacity and have waiting lists years long. To be fair to on-reserve Indigenous leaders, they’re more concerned with matters closer to their First Nations than they are to issues miles away in cities. However, it’s also worth noting that federal funding ﬂows to on-reserve leadership based on their own estimates of population, typically including off-reserve residents, yet that money seldom reaches Indigenous people living in the city. Urban Indigenous services from health care to education keep getting cut back. Something is happening to Indigenous populations, and a clue to what is contained within historical census data. In 2006, Statistics Canada noted that 60 per cent of Indigenous people lived away from their First Nations and in urban areas. In 2001, there were 36,855 Indigenous people living in Vancouver compared to 31,140 in 1996. In 2011, the Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study noted that in 2006, more than 40,000 Indigenous people called Vancouver home. Those numbers represent only self-identiﬁed indigenous people who could be counted; the urban indigenous population is probably far greater than that. There is a diaspora of Indigenous people leaving their First Nations and coming to cities like Vancouver, Victoria, Kamloops and Prince George. This isn’t news, but the growing trend is. Indigenous people leave their First Nations for reasons not unlike those of people who come here from other countries — seeking a better life, employment, education and opportunity. Not every Indigenous person who arrives in Vancouver to make a new life ends up in a homeless camp or in dire straits. Many engage themselves in their new surroundings, work hard and go on to live productive lives. But living in the city isn’t without challenges, as Indigenous people face struggles that range from safe affordable housing to public education as well as employment and health issues.

Advocacy could come from within

Continued from page 10 Imploring on-reserve Indigenous leaders to speak for their urban people is one thing. But maybe urban Indigenous people need to ﬁnd leaders among themselves to create an Indigenous agency whose sole purpose is political advocacy. The Metro Vancouver Aboriginal Executive Council and City of Vancouver’s Urban Aboriginal Peoples Advisory Committee advocate when they can, and they are to be commended for their efforts. But in reality, they are besieged trying to keep programs running with too much to do and too few

resources to do it with, and can only afford to advocate off the sides of their desks. There is the non-proﬁt Indigenous group ALIVE, but even its director Scott Clark says that it was never meant to serve in a political advocacy role, but does so now out of sheer necessity. Instead, what’s needed is an agency whose sole purpose and mandate is political advocacy, not just in Vancouver, but in urban centres across the province. There hasn’t been one since the former United Native Nations, which collapsed after bitter internecine inﬁghting. Such an agency would do

what on-reserve Indigenous leadership can’t, namely advocate with federal, provincial and municipal ofﬁcials about urban Indigenous issues. More importantly, it would be able to inﬂuence policy making before policy is enacted. And maybe it would be a voice for people such as those living in the homeless camp on Hastings Street. They are strong, resourceful and independent survivors who can take care of themselves. Neglect forges this kind of grit. Maybe that grit has created a leader among them who will take up this cause.

WEEKLY FORECAST: SEPTEMBER 18 - 24, 2016 START NOTHING:

1:10 to 9:58 p.m. Sun., 8:32 to 10:53 p.m. Tues., 12:57 to 1:33 a.m. Fri., and after 6:42 p.m. Sat.

Remember, start nothing new before Thursday. That day ends weeks of hard (and sometimes confusing or wasted) work, and starts a month of signiﬁcant relationships, opportunities, relocation themes, dealings with the public, negotiations and litigation. Huge good luck, perhaps a huge fortune, or a lifemate, lies in this direction (for a whole year ahead). Be cooperative and diplomatic; be eager to join another’s cause or project. Remember, start nothing before Thursday. Until then, romance, poetry, beauty, pleasure and creative or “musical” moods continue to entice you. Thursday begins a month of hard (expanded) work – the very thing that promises great rewards for you now to October 2017. If you work hard, you’re sure to increase your income, and a pay raise, even a promotion, is not only possible but likely. Rest, contemplate and dream Sunday.

Remember, no new starts before Thursday, Libra. That day also effectively starts a month and a year of personal expansion, cheerfulness, friendliness, good luck, popularity and “freedom.” A year of quietude, rest and relative solitude will end late week. Earlier, Sunday brings opportunities and relationships – welcome them until early afternoon (PDT). (Remember, no-one, nothing new.) You and a mate can reach solutions, even quietly celebrate.

Decline to start any new projects or relationships before Thursday. Until then, meet, greet and play with those you already know. You’ll be happy! Thursday begins a month (and to some degree a year) of rest, solitude or quietude, charitable and spiritual involvements, and government-related (or management-related) chores. Tackle chores and protect your “everyday” health Sunday. This night to Tues. night brings relationships – so luckily that success is almost certain.

o your Garden Fall intPlant fall ﬂowers and vegetables

Pansies

Recent delays and snafus end Thursday. Until then, start nothing and double-check everything, especially in your career area. Sunday’s romantic, nature and the weather are beautiful in a poetic way, your creative and speculative antennae rise – enjoy yourself! Tackle chores and protect your daily health Mon./Tues. You’ll accomplish a huge amount – higher-ups will be impressed. Although Mercury is still “retro,” this could be a good interval to buy or sell, repair or operate machinery.

Remember, Cancer, start nothing new before Thursday. That day starts a month of great luck in food and shelter zones, and propels you into a year of the same. This luck will include everything from growth of your children to setting up a family/ pregnancy, to growing veggies to buying/selling real estate, starting a restaurant business or landscaping the yard. Some of you will make a fortune in a real estate deal.

Only 4 more days of delay, indecision and mistakes, Cap. Double check, and start nothing brand new before Thursday, especially in legal, travel, intellectual and media zones. Be home or in the ‘hood Sunday – all ends well despite a bit of morning excitement. Sweet romance greets you Mon./Tues. Your creative, risk-taking, pleasure and beauty sensing side(s) surge – take a chance, you’re riding a winning streak! Tackle chores Wed./Thurs., and protect daily health, eat, dress sensibly.

Four more days of delay, Leo – start nothing before Thursday. (If you start a project before then, “Delay” will be its middle name.) Sunday’s wise, mellow – gentle lovers might meet. Far travel, international affairs, education, intellectual and cultural affairs go well. Be ambitious Mon./Tues. Show your skills, perspicacity and loyalty – but start no ventures. All aspects are lucky, so you’re sure to make a good impression (on bosses, but also on parents, judges, etc.).

Remember, Aquarius, start no new projects nor relationships before Thurs. (Speaking of relationships, a powerful one – from the past? – could confront you Wed./Thurs. But these two days are so racked with poor luck and obstacles, that this might not be the RIGHT relationship. Caution!) Earlier, Sunday’s for errands, casual friends, communications and small chores. Settle down Mon./Tues. – rest, contemplate, show family your affection.

Spend this tail-end of the “retro” or delay period (it ends Wed. night) contemplating your path in life, what got you here (for good or bad) and where you’re headed. Thursday will begin a month (and year, though the year started two weeks ago) of superb money luck – and of learning for students, and of possible physical intimacy for the lonely. Friday starts three weeks of affectionate and lucky communicating, travel, media and paperwork.

Hey, Pisces – four more days of delays, mistakes and indecision. Until Thursday, start nothing new, especially in partnership zones. Sunday offers good money luck, especially in earnings (rather than shopping). Dive into errands, calls, emails, trips, paperwork, and casual conversations Mon./ Tues. Everything ﬂows successfully – and a communication you receive could gladden your heart. A “social friend” might be involved.

That day will end a year of domestic focus, and start a month (and year) of giant luck in romance, love, marriage, travel, opportunities, relocation, games and sports, speculation, creativity, and in raising and teaching kids. You’ll ride a winning streak so broad it will be hard to fall off! (To some this grand luck will come early, to some mid-path, to some not until October 2017.)

keeps audience in the dark EMILY BLAKE emily_blake@live.com

Actors, scenery and costumes won’t be revealed until lights go up Just in time for Halloween, Alley Theatre will be presenting Three Stories Up, a murder mystery that explores Vancouver’s criminal underworld. Taking place at an undisclosed location in East Vancouver, the part radio play/part film noir is sure to be a unique experience for theatre lovers. Written by Mack Gordon and directed by Marisa Emma Smith, Three Stories Up is different from most plays as it will be performed in the dark. The actors, scenery and costumes will be a complete mystery to audiences until the lights go up at the end.

“It was a murder mystery, which usually isn’t my genre, but it’s rare in theatre that you watch something and there’s suspense,” says Smith. “Also the female lead was just so compelling, her grief was portrayed so viscerally because Mack’s writing is poetic as well.” The play centres around a transit cop named Beatrice whose husband, Austin, a high-ranking undercover police officer, has been murdered. She finds one of his informants and together they try and solve the crime.

“I thought it would be neat for people to not have any visual expectations so that when you go into the space you just have no idea where you are and so you just have no choice but to imagine something,” explains Smith.

When thinking about the concept of doing the play in the dark, Smith and Gordon visited Dark Table in Kitsilano, a blind dining restaurant. They said it was a unique experience that they also hope to give audiences.

She came up with the idea to have the play in the dark after reading the script. Reading a stack of plays on a trip to Bowen Island, Smith says this one stood out because of its descriptive dialogue.

“It really not only brought out all of your other senses but it gave you this opportunity to really be present in your experience,” explains Gordon. “Because the lights are out you’re not worrying about what you look like,

you’re not worrying about anyone looking at you — you’re just worrying about connecting with the material.” “It’s such a neat thing to do with other people because you can talk about it and you’re going through kind of a novel experience together,” adds Smith.

The suspenseful murder mystery also addresses universal themes of grief and loss. Smith says she was drawn to the idea that we rarely hear stories about how police officers deal with their own grief. “I hope that there’s a sense of communion in that as well, that there’s a feeling that you do need to kind of acknowledge loss and acknowledge that we need to grieve,” says Gordon.

The play was inspired by Gordon’s work with the Vancouver Police Department. He was part of a police training program that hires actors Smith and Gordon expect the show to play criminals in simulations. will have a lasting impact on the He also wanted to write a play audience that they can share with a strong narrative after with others. his more experimental work, ...performed “I just hope that it’s this fun, Shake the Sheets, at last year’s giggly, giddy experience for in the Fringe festival. people afterwards where dark. “He’ll play an informant or they’re like, ‘Can you believe he’ll play a criminal and it’s that happened?’” says Smith. very realistic,” explains Smith Three Stories Up runs from of Gordon’s work with the VPD.

colleges. Significant community amenities in each of the City’s six town centres, along with a strong business community and recent infrastructure investments for both private and public, make Surrey an extremely attractive City where people can get an education, find a job, buy a home, and raise their family.

Surrey: The Future IS here By Elizabeth Model

Since the City of Surrey adopted the phrase “The Future Lives Here,” more than a decade ago, what started as a catch phrase evolved into reality. As inter-provincial migration combined with an influx of new Canadians drawn to Surrey’s high levels of amenities, abundant job market and affordable housing options began a housing boom that continues today. Surrey has been awarded numerous national and international accolades for its forwardlooking fiscal policies, robust business climate, strong family-friendly residential real estate and rich civic amenities. Today, those factors have combined to make Surrey one of the most attractive communities for real estate investment in the region. Research shows that owning a home in Surrey is a more affordable option for many British Columbians, however, that is not the sole reason for purchase. The City offers the lowest average residential taxes and second lowest average business property taxes in the region. Another opportunity that Surrey offers is the post-secondary educational schooling options including, Simon Fraser University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, along with Douglas College and numerous other private

Schools continue to be built to serve the growing student population, which is the largest in the province. Parks, walking and bicycle trails are being expanded, while the City continues to build and upgrade aquatic centres, recreation complexes and libraries, and has the largest number of artificial sports fields in the province. Surrey is now the third fastest growing City in Canada with roughly 1,000 new people moving into the City every month. With the constant influx of residents, local businesses and operations are benefiting greatly due to the substantial increase in population, creating a stronger economy day-by-day. Industries such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, transportation, health & clean technology and logistics, coupled with an emerging creative sector, all have benefited due to the City’s proximity to the US border, location on the Fraser River and the large agricultural land reserves nearby. At the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, we welcome new business and residents to the City and are supportive of the growth as we continue to evolve. We look forward to seeing new residents join our community daily, as Surrey continues to live up to its motto. The future truly does live here. Elizabeth Model is CEO of the Downtown Surrey BIA.

Truth & Transformation

City driven to improve relations with First Nations Six-part series examines city through an Aboriginal lens Mike Howell

mhowell@vancourier.com

Turn back the clock to the mid-1980s. Imagine a boy of about 12 or 13 years old, riding in a truck with his father and heading up country to a camp spot in B.C. It’s summertime. Somewhere along the road, trafﬁc comes to a sudden stop. Up ahead, band members from a local First Nation have blockaded the road. The boy is confused and doesn’t understand the signiﬁcance of the event. That boy is now an adult and Vancouver’s city manager. “This was different for me, not knowing the complexity and the dynamics behind all of that,” said Sadhu Johnston, who lived in Colorado at the time and was visiting his father in Vancouver. “Now, as an adult, I can think about it and it makes more sense. But as a kid, it was like being trapped somewhere.” Johnston tells the story in response to a question on how knowledgeable he was about the history of Aboriginal peoples in B.C. when he

accepted the job in 2009 as deputy city manager. The truth is, he said, he didn’t know much. He had left a job in Chicago to work at city hall, a place that is currently going through a major transformation on how it responds to, engages with and honours indigenous people, their culture and their history. Johnston, who has dual citizenship and became city manager earlier this year, is charged with overseeing that transformation, which

has been guided by a city council driven to improve relations with local First Nations, the city’s urban Aboriginal residents and reconcile a past of hurt and discrimination. “It’s been a very interesting and steep learning curve for me in how we as a city can do this work,” he said from his ofﬁce at city hall. “We’re ﬁguring this out as we go and there are probably areas where we’ll screw up. But there’s opportunities for us to strengthen

those relationships.” The work, as Johnston calls it, involves a bit of everything, including hiring new staff, ceremony, policy, protocol, art, training, funding, regular meetings with First Nations, reaching out to urban Aboriginal organizations and a whole lot of goodwill. Some big steps have already been taken. City council proclaimed Vancouver a city of reconciliation, approved a formal motion that says Vancouver is on the unceded traditional homelands of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish nations and endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The present council also participated in a ceremony in which members of the three local nations used cedar boughs dipped in water to “brush off” the politicians to symbolize the beginning of a fresh start. It was the ﬁrst time such an event took place at city hall and Robert Joseph had a front row seat. As hereditary chief of the Gwawaeanuk First Nation near Alert Bay and the ambassador for Reconciliation Canada, Joseph has dedicated his adult life to bridging differences borne from intolerance, ignorance and racism. “When I ﬁrst came to Vancouver in the 1960s as a young man, anything involving Aboriginal spirituality or culture was considered taboo,” Joseph said after the ceremony in December 2014. “Here

we are these decades later and our leadership in this great municipal hall of Vancouver are open to the idea that all of our spiritual ways and beliefs have value and purpose.” The shift at city hall appears to be contagious. In the past decade, the Vancouver School Board opened an Aboriginalfocused school, launched an enhancement program for Aboriginal students and hired Shane Pointe from the Musqueam Indian Band to teach students about Coast Salish culture, languages and ceremony. The Vancouver Police Department, which had to answer for the death of Mi’kmaq First Nation member Frank Paul in 1998 and the bungling of the missing and murdered women investigation, has conducted cultural sensitivity training for hundreds of its ofﬁcers and created a program with Aboriginal women to stop violence in the Downtown Eastside. On the business side, the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh have reacquired three large parcels of land in Vancouver and plan to redevelop the 120 acres to generate income for their respective bands. The elections of local indigenous women Jody Wilson-Raybould to Ottawa, where she was appointed justice minister, and Melanie Mark to Victoria, where she represents Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, are evidence of the shift in political arenas. All of these developments point to progress for the three local nations and Aboriginal community in Vancouver. In a six-part series beginning today with a focus on city hall, the Courier will examine the depth of that progress and ask the question: Is it authentic and will it lead to real change for indigenous people in the city?

Moving forward

Ginger Gosnell-Myers wastes no time in answering the question. “Yes,” said Gosnell-Myers, who was appointed the city’s ﬁrst-ever manager of Aboriginal relations in April. “I’ve grown up in politics and have been an advocate on the ground, and ﬁnd myself here at city hall and feel pretty honoured to be part of these changes, and wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t authentic.” She has become the city’s utility person on all-things Aboriginal, liaising with de-

partments, writing reports, developing policy and working her many connections with Aboriginal groups. “There’s a lot of openness to move all of this work forward,” she said from a meeting room at city hall. “I think everybody is really excited about the possibility of a city that reﬂects indigenous peoples — as it should be. This is an indigenous place.” Her surname may ring a bell. The Gosnell in Gosnell-Myers also belongs to her uncle, Joseph Gosnell, the celebrated Nisga’a leader whose work as chief led to the signing of the Nisga’a Treaty in the late 1990s, the ﬁrst modern treaty involving a First Nation and senior governments. Gosnell-Myers, whose heritage is Nisga’a and Kwakwaka’wakw, had worked with the city in 2013 to help organize the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada event in Vancouver and the Walk for Reconciliation. She stayed on as an Aboriginal planner before being promoted to manager. Some of her most informative work occurred before she started her new role at city hall. Between 2008 and 2011, GosnellMyers was project manager for the Environics Institute’s Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study, which is said to be the largest research project on Aboriginal people living in Canadian cities. v “My biggest surprise was how Aboriginal people have so many similarities to the general Canadian population,” she said. “I think I was too wrapped up in our people as a set of issues and hardships and resilience and needing to overcome all of this because that’s what we talk about all the time, and we deal with it with our families and with our friends.” She continued: “But that study allowed me and others who were on the project team to really see that we are a population that has a lot of aspirations for a better life.” That work has translated well into her job at the city. She is breaking new ground, both previously as a planner and now as a manager. But getting started has come with its challenges. In what she described as “probably dirty laundry,” Gosnell-Myers said the city didn’t have a handle on the number of projects it was working on that involved local First Nations or the urban Aboriginal community.

Education is key to the city’s reconciliation efforts “Were we doing a dozen projects with them? Were we doing 50 projects with them? And to what level? And who were we working with and which staff was working on these projects? And how are they going?” She paused before continuing. “So there was no collection, no understanding, no alignment. We’re doing a lot of work to organize ourselves so that we do know.”

A door wide open

That alignment became clearer in January. City council heard from Gosnell-Myers that staff identified 27 of 94 recommendations set out in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s final report as “actionable” by the city. Everything from child welfare, education, language and culture to health, justice, sports and business were among the issues and topics outlined in the 27 recommendations. That same morning at city hall, council heard from Kevin Barlow, the CEO of the Metro Vancouver Aboriginal Executive Council, which acts on behalf of an estimated 60,000 Aboriginals living in the region. Barlow stressed the importance of creating a plan to construct 1,500 new social housing units across Metro Vancouver by 2020. The evidence for that request is based on this: 31 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s homeless population identified as Aboriginal in the last regional homeless count; it was 38 per cent in Vancouver’s count in March of this year. Aboriginal people comprise less than three per cent of the city’s population. “Housing and homelessness is a true measure of rec-

onciliation,” Barlow wrote in a report that accompanied his presentation. “A stable home opens a door wide open for huge socioeconomic growth when indigenous people can then participate fully in the B.C. and Canadian economy.” The city’s response is a commitment to build 600 to 700 social housing units by 2020, spread over four buildings on a stretch of Main Street and along East Hastings. The projects include a shelter, social housing, health services and a new native youth centre. B.C. Housing, the Aboriginal Friendship Centre and the Urban Native Youth Association are involved in the projects. The city has put up the land for two of the four buildings, provided some grant money and owns part of the land on a third. The overall tab hasn’t been calculated and ﬁnding money to complete the projects remains an open question. The go-to answer from Mayor Gregor Robertson and others at city hall since Justin Trudeau and the Liberals won victory last year is that money appears to be on its way. The prime minister has promised Aboriginal leaders a renewed “nation-tonation” relationship and to “advance progress” on issues such as housing, health, child welfare and education. In unveiling the Liberals’ budget in March, Trudeau’s government promised $8.4 billion for First Nations, a large portion of which is directed at housing. In June, B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman called on Aboriginal housing providers and municipalities to apply for $50 million in funding to help create “safe, affordable homes for Aboriginal people in need.” It all sounds promising

to Barlow and he credited city council for endorsing his organization’s housing strategy and lobbying senior governments for funding. But Barlow pointed out in an interview that the majority of the $8.4-billion promise from the Trudeau government is dedicated to on-reserve housing, water services and waste management. “That’s the challenge

with the urban Aboriginal population — we have to argue for a share of those resources,” said Barlow, who noted that spending money on housing, health services and job creation in Metro Vancouver will reduce homelessness, ease the strain on health care providers and allow people to be self-reliant. “It would seem ludicrous not to do this.”

A key part of the city’s reconciliation efforts is educating its own staff about First Nations history and culture and how it can be applied while on the job. The potential for many city departments to work on projects that in some large or small way involve Aboriginal people or land is constant. Road construction, for example, which requires digging up land that may have a historical connection to one of the three local nations is without protocol. “The past practice has been common sense and respect,” said Gosnell-Myers, noting protocol is being developed with the three nations, including a Locarno Midden management plan. “Across Canada, that’s not been the case, with developers ﬁnding artifacts and just bulldozing over them and not telling anybody.” Gosnell-Myers was present at the Aboriginal Friendship Centre in June to open a “cultural competency training” workshop for 31 city staff. (More than 140 staff have been trained since the session).

In introducing the workshop’s leader, Bob Joseph, she told staff the purpose of the training was really “to provide the education you were denied here in Canada.” Joseph is the president of Indigenous Corporate Training Inc. and began the session by saying he was not, in fact, chief Robert Joseph, the hereditary chief of the Gwawaeanuk First Nation and ambassador of Reconciliation Canada, who attended the brushing off ceremony at city hall in 2014. He is his son. The Courier was given brief access to the workshop, staying long enough to hear Joseph’s opening remarks and outline what was ahead over the next three hours. Each participant was given a book authored by Joseph and his wife Cynthia, titled Working Effectively with Aboriginal Peoples. The book covers a range of topics, from residential schools to court battles to how technical terms, acronyms and colloquialisms such as “low man on the totem pole” should be avoided in conversation.

Truth & Transformation

City aims to be Canada’s Aboriginal cultural destination Continued from page 25 Other tips: • In indigenous culture, a person’s word is more important than anything written on a piece of paper. • A person shouldn’t offer things that cannot be delivered. Nothing can damage a person’s reputation more than failing on a promise. • “Stakeholder” is a commonly used business term that should be avoided at all times when working with Aboriginal peoples. They are not stakeholders — they have constitutionally protected rights and are used to dealing with government on a “nation-to-nation” basis. The voluntary workshop attracted staff from various departments, including engineering, digital services, ﬁlm and special events and elections manager Jessica Nelson, who spoke to the Courier after the session. Nelson said she recalls learning about First Nations history in elementary and high school in North Vancouver. That education was bolstered by her years at university, where she completed a degree in soci-

ology and did her master’s in public policy. “What I found very interesting [about the workshop] was getting more information about the diversity of the languages and the cultural practices across the country,” she said, pointing out the importance of protocol and understanding the differ-

ence between a hereditary chief and elected chief. The training, she said, inspired her to develop strategies to get more Aboriginal people to the polls in the 2018 civic election. The city doesn’t track the heritage of voters but Nelson said a study Elections Canada did after the 2011 federal election showed lower voter

turnout among Aboriginals, although there is evidence to suggest that increased in the 2015 election. “I deﬁnitely want to explore this [2018] election [by] building a lot more important partnerships with Aboriginal organizations and non-proﬁts in Vancouver and really working a lot more closely with those

groups,” she said. “We want to ensure that those who are living in Vancouver are excited about voting, are engaged and feel that there is some value to vote.” Some of the more practical advice Nelson took away from the session was that for many Aboriginal peoples, continuous eye contact may not be expected or accepted as a courtesy of conversation. Joseph noted in his book that residential school survivors have said that eye contact with school or church ofﬁcials often led to physical punishment. Handshakes are also not common with Aboriginal peoples, although it is not meant as a sign of disrespect. It’s simply a custom not widely practised, according to Joseph. Nelson learned a true sign that signalled her relationship building with the Aboriginal community was on the right track. “Bob sort of joked that if you’re asked to dance, you shouldn’t turn it down because that means they like you.”

‘A change in the narrative’

Vancouverites will be doing all kinds of dancing when Canada marks its 150th birthday next year. But it won’t simply be a party, or recognition of how far the country has come since Confederation. It will be more than that in Vancouver. The city will bill the event as “150-plus,” an acknowledgement that Vancouver and its ﬁrst residents have been around longer than Capt. George Vancouver and the European settlers. Musqueam people, for instance, have been at the mouth of the Fraser River for thousands of years. There are plans for a canoe festival in False Creek, performances and exhibits downtown and signiﬁcant First Nations art to be installed on the campus of city hall. The goal is to make Vancouver the Aboriginal cultural tourism destination in Canada in 2017. It’s all in the name of reconciliation.

Hearing Aid Sales Event

Chief Wayne Sparrow and his Musqueam Indian Band will play a large part in the events. Sparrow said he likes the renewed relationship with the city, singling out Coun. Andrea Reimer for working as a bridge between the municipality and the band. “I think they’re leading the way from the political side,” Sparrow said. “It shows that we can work together instead of working against each other. I have to take my hat off to Andrea Reimer and the mayor and the council for being leaders.” Chief Ian Campbell of the Squamish Nation also sees signs of progress in the relationship with the city, saying “there seems to be a change in the narrative.” He, Sparrow and TsleilWaututh Chief Maureen Thomas were among the first people Trudeau met when he was welcomed by the mayor to city hall last December. The three nations also went to Ottawa with the mayor to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal and have regular meetings with city staff and city council. But Campbell isn’t naive to think the relationship has simply come from the goodwill of politicians. It’s driven, he said, more by court decisions and the courage of residential school survivors to tell their stories. It’s what he calls “leverage.” “Much of the changes that I’m seeing in the last 15 years haven’t necessarily been out of moral goodwill by any level of government,” he said. “It’s been by creating leverage that has brought parties together to allow us to redefine the relationship and reframing it.” He continued: “But I think the authenticity is definitely there, people are sincere, they’re very respectful. Most Canadians have been quite complacent on Aboriginal issues for a very long time. We’re not far removed from when First Nations weren’t even citizens in our own lands. We’re not far removed from my parents’

era where it was illegal for us to practise our culture.”

Paths of reconciliation

Interestingly, Campbell and Sadhu Johnston are from the same generation. Campbell is 43, Johnston, 42. Their backgrounds couldn’t be any different. Or are they? Here’s another story about Johnston: It begins in Germany, where many of his Jewish ancestors were killed in the concentration camps during the Second World War. As he said, “my family history was effectively erased.” Johnston sees parallels to what indigenous people experienced during colonialism. But he knows the experience is different, although equally poignant. He thought about his shared history when he attended a forum in which Jewish, Japanese and First Nations elders met to discuss surviving the Holocaust, internment camps and residential schools. “It was really illuminating for me to see those three elders talking about what reconciliation meant for them,” he said of the talk last year in North Vancouver, which is home to the Squamish Nation. “I’ve now been able to connect reconciliation to my own past. The path that I live on has been charted 100 per cent by the fact that the Nazis did what they did. My grandma was 17, she escaped Nazi Germany, she went to South Africa, lived in poverty, starved, was on her own, had no money, raised herself up, built a career, got married, never went back to Germany, never went back to Europe to live.” All those years later, Johnston is now in a role at city hall that allows him to help steward the work being done to reconcile a regrettable past in this country’s history. “It’s an incredible honour, both personally and professionally.” @Howellings Next week: the Courier looks at land development.

Morley throws in card tricks, sleight of hand, mind-

Morley confessed the show was the sloppiest he’s done in years, but I was OK with that; it shows just how quick a performer can cover his ass and Morley is a master ass-coverer. Continued on page 30

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to

reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech. Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours of hearing with only one charge.

A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel. A growing body of research suggests that hearing aids may reduce listening effort, and in return mental fatigue when processing speech in noise. Digital Noise Reduction technology has been shown to

Bike the Night rides through Kits

John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

Picture it as a roaming, rolling, rave on wheels, except replace the sketchy warehouse location and droning music with families and hot chocolate. That’s the premise behind this weekend’s inaugural Bike the Night event, which kicks off Friday evening at Granville Park and follows a 10-kilometre route through Kitsilano. Organized by HUB Cycling, the event is equal parts fitness and fact finding: participants will be taught the finer points of cycling while also getting a chance to familiarize themselves with the future of the Arbutus Greenway. “It’s family-friendly and kids under 12 are free — all you need is to be able to ride a bike in a fairly straight line,” said Laura Jane, HUB’s director of corporate engagement and events. “It’s a good way to get people on their bikes to start with and hopefully they continue riding their bikes for other reasons afterwards as well.” Bike the Night is modelled after Tour La Nuit, an annual event that has exploded in popularity in Ottawa and Montreal

in particular. Participant numbers in the La Belle Province have hit north of 17,000, though organizers in Vancouver will cap their numbers at 1,500 for their ﬁrst kick at the can. “It’s huge in Montreal and it’s grown massively, but it started small,” Jane said. “That’s what we’re hoping to do here as well — start with a smaller event of about 1,000 people and see it grow in the years to come.” Friday’s ride will take place under a full moon and participants are encouraged to play up the visual spectacle by adding lights and decorations to their bikes. Costumes, music and other accoutrements are also fair game. The event is being dovetailed into the same week as a massive gathering in Vancouver called the Pro Walk Pro Bike Pro Place Conference, which ran Sept. 12 to 15. Established more than three decades ago, the conference brings together more than 1,000 delegates from across the globe to address issues around complete streets, safe routes to school, active community design and protected bicycling infrastructure. Having a bike bonanza of that scale happening in Vancouver provides the

perfect backdrop to delve into the ﬁner points of the Arbutus Greenway for the uninitiated. The greenway is currently being reviewed by city staff as to how to best balance the needs of all user groups: cyclists, pedestrians, those with mobility issues and urban gardeners. “We are excited to show people that path so that they can see that it’s there and hopefully that encourages them to be a part of the consultation process as well for the future of the path,” Jane said. “We would like to see a pathway that’s safe for all users — for people on bikes and for people walking. We think it’s a great opportunity for it to be transportation corridor to get across Vancouver and also for recreation much like the Seawall is. This is a really cool opportunity for us to showcase it.” Bike the Night will kick off at 6 p.m. with a preparty featuring free snacks, bike repairs and giveaways for registered participants. The ride begins at 7:30 p.m., with the route encompassing parts of the West Side, Kitsilano and ending at Connaught Park. Volunteers will be at varying checkpoints throughout the route to provide direc-

First Shelby Cobra sells for US$13.75M Brendan McAleer

Given how much collectors were spending on classic Ferraris and Jaguars, the auction of the very first Shelby Cobra attracted a great deal of interest. For the Shelby brand, this is genesis: chassis number CSX2000 is the very first V8-powered machine assembled by Carroll Shelby and his crew, and is unrestored. Everything’s original, except the paint colour. Shelby, ever the tricksy self-promoter, had this first car painted multiple times so that it would ap-

The madness and mayhem of Monterey Car Week is over now, with empty champagne bottles piled high in drifts. As usual, it was an affair of excess, and as usual the trafﬁc was bad enough it’d have you wishing for a bicycle instead. Over at the auctions, however, well-heeled folks were throwing money at vintage sheet metal as if they’d gone completely crazy.

Total price tag? A whopping US$13.75 million. Converting to Canadian funds, that’s enough to purchase the entirety of Prince Edward Island and set up your own country: Potatolandia. Still, classic car experts looked a little surprised that the Shelby didn’t crack the $20 million barrier. Could the market ﬁnally be softening? For now, this Shelby sits on the record books as the most expensive American-made machine ever sold.
