VPD conducting its own probe into ‘street checks’ complaint Organizations say Indigenous and black people overrepresented in VPD street checks Mike Howell
mhowell@vancourier.com
The Vancouver Police Department is conducting its own investigation into complaints from two organizations concerned about police data that shows an overrepresentation of Indigenous and black people being “street checked.” That investigation, which was ordered by Police Chief Adam Palmer last month, will conclude with a public report and go before the Vancouver Police Board’s service and policy complaints review committee Sept. 20. The board will then decide whether it wants a further investigation into the complaint lodged by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, or to dismiss the complaint with reasons. Josh Paterson, executive director of the association, said Monday he is concerned the board will not look beyond the police department’s
investigation, whatever the findings may be. Paterson suggested an independent organization be sought to consult with Indigenous and black people most directly affected by the checks. That way, the public would have a more objective sense of what the data means. “The board should not be making a decision on an issue as complex as this with only a VPD report to guide them as to what to do,” Paterson said. “It has the appearance of bias. With great respect to the chief, he — on day one of filing this complaint — was already out there in the media justifying their practices.” The complaint stems from data posted in May and June on the Vancouver police’s website that was requested by a Vancouver Island blogger through a Freedom of Information request. The data shows police conducted 97,281 street checks between 2008 and 2017. The VPD’s 2017 guide-

lines defines a street check as an officer stopping a person to conduct an interview or investigation in regards to suspicious activity or a suspected crime. The interactions take place in public, private or any place police have contact with the public. Of the 97,281 street
checks, 15 per cent (14,536) were of Indigenous people and more than four per cent (4,365) of black people. Indigenous people make up just over two per cent of the population in Vancouver, and black people less than one per cent. “The data creates a strong
suggestion that street checks are being conducted in a discriminatory matter, contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and B.C.’s Human Rights Code,” said the civil liberties association and chiefs’ organization in a June 14 letter to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner. Another set of data showed an overrepresentation of Indigenous women being checked. The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and civil liberties association requested the disparities in both race and gender in the number of street checks as part of the investigation. The organizations are also concerned that some checks are not being recorded. That practice, if occurring, should also be investigated, they said. “We are not concerned with informal conversations between police and the public. We are concerned with non-detention nonarrest interactions between the police and the public that are intended to elicit
personal information from the subject.” Palmer told reporters in June he welcomed the complaint and promised his department would provide more context and information on street checks. “The fact is, it’s the actions [of the person] that drive the officers to do the checks, not somebody’s ethnicity,” the chief said. “When you look at arrest statistics, and you look at the statistics of people in our society in Vancouver that are charged with criminal offences--and those charges are approved by Crown counsel — they closely match street checks statistics. So there will be people in our society that are overrepresented, including white people, compared to their population in the city.” Palmer said the vast majority of people arrested by police are young, white males. “That’s who we’re checking, that’s who we’re arresting,” he said. @Howellings

Stroke ends Patrick Condon’s mayoral run with COPE
UBC professor becomes third candidate in three months to leave civic race because of illness Mike Howell
mhowell@vancourier.com
The University of B.C. professor who was likely to be chosen as COPE’s mayoral candidate suffered a stroke last Tuesday (July 10) in his home state of Massachusetts and will not be able to continue his campaign. Patrick Condon, who is in his 60s, announced the surprising news the morning of July 13 in a Facebook post. “On Tuesday, I was hospitalized with a stroke while visiting the United States,” he wrote. “I have been advised by doctors that I need to concentrate my efforts fully on recovery. Therefore, because I’m not able to dedicate my full capability to the party as it readies itself for the upcoming election, I must end my nomination campaign as a mayoral candidate for COPE.” Condon is the third candidate in this year’s civic campaign to leave the race because of an illness. Vision Vancouver mayoral hopeful Taleeb
Noormohamed suffered “a sudden cardiac event” in May, forcing him from competing against Squamish Nation hereditary chief Ian Campbell, who was acclaimed as the party’s mayoral candidate. Last week, longtime Vision school trustee Ken Clement resigned from school board and announced he will not seek re-election this year because of an illness. Condon was to compete Aug. 19 to become COPE’s mayoral candidate. Many in the party supported his bid and he was likely to be acclaimed since no other high-profile candidates had stepped forward to compete for the nomination. In his post, the urban design professor said he felt his background in academic research, particularly his “hands-on experience” with other jurisdictions on affordable housing projects and efficient public transit systems was a good fit with COPE, a party with a 50year history “for seeking a

just and sustainable city.” Meena Wong, Condon’s campaign manager, posted on Facebook that it was “a heavy blow” to have Condon leave the race. Wong, who ran as COPE’s mayoral candidate in the 2014 election, said she joined Condon’s campaign because he was “a can do person.” “His belief of building a just, fair and sustainable Vancouver, where everyone can afford and enjoy to live and work, resonates with
mine,” she said. “Our team of dedicated volunteers and supporters are devastated by the news of his sudden illness. We wish him a speedy and full recovery.” Connie Hubbs, cochairperson of COPE, said she was in “a state of shock” after hearing of Condon’s stroke. Her understanding was Condon was in Massachusetts to visit family and help care for a family member who was ill. “He seemed like a healthy
guy, so it just shows you from moment to moment what can happen,” she said, noting Condon was unable to travel. “It’s shocking news and we just want to be very supportive of him and his family, and give them the peace that they need.” As for party business, Hubbs acknowledged Condon was the “presumptive nominee” for the party but noted he still had to win or be acclaimed Aug. 19. She said COPE members now have three choices: to not run a mayoral candidate; endorse an independent candidate; or support another COPE member to run for mayor. “You may well see people come forward,” she said. “The people that might not have wanted to run against Patrick, might run now that he’s not there. But time will tell.” Condon, who was born in Massachusetts and moved to Vancouver in 1992, said in announcing his campaign in early June that he wanted to be the Bernie Sanders
of this year’s race; Sanders was one of the presidential nominees for the Democrats in the last U.S. election and his message of providing affordable housing, health care and child care resonated with millions of Americans, particularly the younger generation. Condon promised to run on a platform that answered to the anxiety, struggle and poverty of many Vancouverites living in an unaffordable city. “Vancouver needs real affordable housing for the most vulnerable, for working people and for young people and seniors — clearly, they are amongst the forgotten when it comes to our current crop of politicians,” he wrote in his post, reiterating an earlier statement to develop 50 per cent non-market housing. “I look forward to making a full recovery. I am determined to keep speaking out and will lend support to see that these objectives become reality in the city of Vancouver.” The election is Oct. 20. @Howellings

Seminar clears the air on work life after legalization Martha Perkins
mperkins@vancourier.com
It’s December 2018 and you’re responsible for organizing your office Christmas party. You’ve got the food, you’ve got the booze. Should you also buy a few joints or edibles now that marijuana is legal in Canada? Or you’re the boss of a sales team. You’re accustomed to your staff taking clients out for drinks to woo their business, but what if you’re handed an expense claim for marijuana? Isn’t that as legit a way to seal the deal? As a labour and employment lawyer at Roper Greyell LLP, Drew Demerse has been fielding all sorts of questions about how life will change for Canadian businesses on Oct. 17. That’s the day it becomes legal for anyone — including your staff — to buy and partake in the use of marijuana. The first thing is he does is reassure them the new laws aren’t going to turn everyone into a pothead overnight.
The impending legalization of marijuana in Canada has raised many questions from employers.
PHOTO DAN TOULGOET
“On October 17, you won’t have a new raft of employees smoking marijuana. They’re already doing it,” he said at a legalizing cannabis seminar, July 12, hosted by Business in Vancouver
at the Vancouver Club. He said his answer usually shocks business owners which, in turn, surprises him. “The biggest unknown is how to detect present impairment,” he said of
business concerns postlegalization. “The best you can do is employ good prevention tools and deal with the science as it is today.” The federal government is being very stringent with its acceptable level of
impairment when it comes to getting behind the wheel of a car. Drivers will be allowed no more than two nanograms of THC per millilitre of blood, which in many cases is the equivalent of having a puff or two. “Should employers be as rigid? I expect we’ll see a lot of litigation on these issues,” he said. Because Canada is one of the first countries to legalize marijuana, there isn’t a lot of case law to build on so, to a certain extent, workplaces will have to wing it when it comes to what employers and employees can expect when the new laws come into effect. It’s legal to consume alcohol. Does that mean everyone is drunk when they come back to work after lunch? Asked by BIV moderator Hayley Woodin if employers can treat alcohol one way and marijuana another, Demerse said, “You can but the question is should you? You can set rules about what to expect at the work place. You can’t regulate what they
do away from work unless it affects their job.” There was the case of a Nova Scotia business that banned marijuana use because of safety concerns. The labour arbitrator said that’s reasonable in those situations. “Only you can really draw a clear line about someone’s ability to safely do their job,” Demers said. The good thing about the new laws is consumers will know a lot more about what they’re buying. When you get a bottle of craft beer, you’re told whether it’s 3.5 per cent alcohol or six. It helps you decide how much you should consume. The same will be true of marijuana. “For the general public you can’t make responsible decisions unless you have product information.” And for those organizing their office Christmas party, Demerse had this to say: “Do we have to start supplying weed? You can. Fill your boots. But just because it’s legal doesn’t mean you have to.”

Vancouver council paves way for Arbutus Greenway plan First phase of development will cost an estimated $30 million Naoibh O’Connor
noconnor@vancourier.com
Vancouver council unanimously passed staff recommendations for the design vision and implementation strategy for Arbutus Greenway, July 11. The implementation strategy includes developing two of the eight sections or “character zones” along the greenway to begin with — The Lookout (zone eight) and The Ridge (zone three) — northern and southern extensions to the Fraser River and False Creek, as well as short-term spot improvements on the temporary path. Council’s decision comes just over two years after the City of Vancouver announced it bought the Arbutus corridor from CP
for $55 million. It was purchased for use as a transportation corridor and as such will feature pedestrian and cycling paths. Space is also being allocated for a future street car. Staff peg the first phase of the development of the greenway at $30 million. Details will be outlined in the next capital plan. If only partial funding is available, the first two zones could be partially developed, with the completion deferred to a future capital plan. Buildout for the entire nine kilometre-long route is expected to take place over many years and at least four capital plans. The staff report outlines a high-level design so council’s approval means they can move forward with

more detailed design plans, which will include further public consultation. Mayor Gregor Robertson said it’s a “great opportunity for us as a city to rally around a huge improvement” to Vancouver. He said while people had great expectations for the greenway, current use of the temporary path has “blown” those expectations away. “It will be an incredible addition to the city in the years ahead,” he added. Green Party Coun. Adriane Carr praised staff for their collaboration with the communities along the route and said she was pleased the overall greenway project is being dealt with in the spirit of and commitment to reconciliation. City staff have been collaborating with the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations on aspects such as naming, ethnobotany, wayfinding, storytelling and public art. “It’s a very exciting piece of it,” Carr said, adding, “This is a neighbourhood asset and a city asset and a global asset. The way it’s developing is quite extraordinary.” A handful of speakers spoke before council’s vote, a couple of whom raised concerns about potential congestion that could be created by design plans and programming along the corridor. One group of residents who live next to zone two (Electric Alley), which runs between Broadway and West 16th, said design plans released in April weren’t in keeping with the

character and needs of their community. But a representative told council that staff listened and scaled back plans for details such as overhead structures. They remain concerned, however, that future development along the west side of the greenway in zone two could include a café. Meanwhile, a woman speaking on behalf of residents living near zone one, which is known as Harvest Table, pointed out it’s one of the most densified and diverse areas along the greenway. She said the final report didn’t reflect residents’ concerns, which include their issues with the route of the future streetcar in zone one and noise that could be created by programming such as

live events and food trucks. Before voting in favour of the plan, Vision Coun. Heather Deal said she wants a “vibrant” greenway but acknowledged that the “right place” must be found for music and food trucks. “I can’t wait to see each section. I can’t wait to see the connection to the Fraser River,” Deal said. Maggie Buttle, senior project manager for the Arbutus Greenway, told the Courier the greenway team and entire engineering department were “extremely excited” to get council’s approval. “The biggest thing for us is we had a number of speakers today who were extremely supportive of our engagement process and felt
that they were heard and see their aspirations in our design,” she said. Buttle said there will be consultation with residents adjacent to the route around concerns such as noise, lighting and programming as each zone is developed. She called the $30-million figure for the first phase a “rough estimate.” “At this stage, we’re at the conceptual level so it’s very high level. We haven’t done the detailed cost estimating so it’s hard to know how much these zones are going to cost. We just identified an envelope of investment,” Buttle said, adding the city will be seeking funding from senior levels of government. @naoibh

Council limits size of future buildings in Chinatown Courier staff
vancourier.com
Vancouver city council has approved zoning policy changes that will reduce the heights and sizes of future buildings in Chinatown. The changes are designed “to help new development fit better with the historic and cultural character of the neighbourhood, and limit site assemblies and land speculation,” says a July 10 City of Vancouver press release. “These changes are the result of many years of working with the community to address the concerns we have heard about how recent new development has been out of character and has been impacting Chinatown’s culture and heritage,” said the city’s chief planner Gil Kelley in the release. “Chinatown is a National Historic Site of Canada and an important part of Vancouver’s cultural identity. Current planning and revitalization need to respect the unique heritage and diversity of the community. These changes are part of a broader suite of revitalization strategies soon to get underway.” The city says the approved zoning amendments mean tall and wide buildings will no longer be considered. The majority of community concerns related to buildings that were permitted to exceed 90 feet in height and be built on wide lots through the Rezoning Policy for

Chinatown South, bounded by Quebec, Pender, Gore and Union streets. Under the new policies, buildings could be considered under the base zoning height of up to 75 feet on Pender Street and up to 90 feet in Chinatown South. The changes would also limit the maximum density and number of storeys. New buildings will be smaller and built on narrow lots with smaller store fronts to better fit with Chinatown’s traditional character. Placing limits on the maximum size for site frontages will also help limit assembly of sites for development and land speculation. The city is also forming a dedicated Chinatown Transformation Team to work with the community on a number of actions, including: • preparation of a longterm plan to conserve Chinatown’s living culture and heritage • supporting economic development towards a vibrant Chinatown • dialogue and programming on anti-racism • redesign of Memorial Square • exploring the feasibility of a UNESCO world heritage site application • advancing the Legacy Business Study to support traditional businesses • rehabilitation of the heritage Chinese Societies buildings, and • maximizing opportunities for seniors housing.

Opinion
Civic pride — it’s something worth upholding in Vancouver Mike Klassen
mike@mikeklassen.net
For many of us, the radiant July weather we have been experiencing lately restores and re-energizes our love of Vancouver. When you are stressed out by traffic gridlock, nothing can soothe you like some quality time on a patio, or finding an occasion to sip rosé while watching an English Bay sunset. With the increasing access to the outdoors also comes the realization of how poorly we have maintained many of the city’s landscaped areas. Unlike surrounding boroughs such as Burnaby and Richmond, most Vancouver boulevards are barely maintained if at all. Around the city, litter and waist-high weeds clog gardens intended to soften and beautify our surroundings. It is equally frustrating for municipal staff who are as proud of our city as any of its citizens. I believe the diminishment of civic pride as a core princi-
ple of our municipal government forms the basis of the “existential crisis” planner Patrick Condon recently claimed Vancouver faces. We seem to have stopped caring about the little things that make cities livable. Furthermore, there is an exasperating narrative about Vancouver propagated by national publications such as Maclean’s magazine that our “civic fabric” has become frayed. I refuse to buy into it, however. Recently someone asked me what I thought our municipal government was doing well. After a long pause to contemplate the question only one thing came to mind: bike lanes. More accurately, I think the city government has done a good job of transforming select thoroughfares to increase the “mode share” for cyclists and pedestrians and improve safety. The controversial Point Grey Road greenway comes to mind. This is a good thing,
Bike lanes have been one of the few things the municipal government has done well, says columnist Mike Klassen. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET
notwithstanding the hostile reaction from drivers when parking spots or entire streets are closed off to vehicles. One cannot help but also admire what the city is doing to transform the Arbutus Greenway, a corridor flagged as a broader network of enhanced cycling and pedestrian routes identified by a citizen-led committee in the early 1990s. Another long-planned northsouth active transportation
corridor running from New Brighton Park to the north arm of the Fraser River is the proposed Eastside Crosscut, which I hope the next council prioritizes. I have to think long and hard to find other examples, however. A proposed pedestrian-cyclist greenway along the centre spine of the Granville Street Bridge has looked half-baked since it was first floated a few
years ago. Because of the bridge’s offramps, the city’s design has the path running between lanes of automobile traffic on either side, and no clear sightlines to False Creek. For the $25 million the city has budgeted, one would hope we could create something more inspired. The Vancouver Park Board went to Twitter recently to boast how quickly they replaced a sign stolen for Dude Chilling Park (a.k.a. Guelph Park), seeing it as an opportunity for publicity. The swiftness of the sign replacement by the park board contrasts with the hundreds of boulevard gardens they might groom once per year. Park board commissioner John Coupar insists he has pressed general manager Malcolm Bromley and other staff over his two terms in office to prioritize maintenance of these public spaces. Ultimately, he blames the inaction on budget cuts to the park board by city council over the past decade.
In my community there is a house where the owner stopped construction about two years ago, leaving an empty eyesore while people dump garbage on the lot. For neighbours who have to look at it daily, it has them asking if the city is doing their part to promote livability. Looking ahead to the civic election in October, I wonder if upholding our civic pride could become a ballot question. So far none of the declared candidates have made any promises to improve existing city services, or tackle the issue of enhancing our public realm. We know some of them would sooner yell at Ottawa over oil pipelines than focus on better ways to deliver city services. But we already have had plenty of that, haven’t we? When I mark my ballot this fall, I will be voting for council and park board candidates who share my civic pride, and will work hard to see those “little things” get done. @mikeklassen
Could trash be the answer to helping homeless people? Michael Geller geller@sfu.ca
Ten years ago, I ran for Vancouver city council, in part because I wanted to try and improve the living conditions and appearance of the Downtown Eastside. I put forward three different ideas. The first was that the city set up modular housing for homeless people on vacant lots. This housing would be relocated to other vacant lots when the properties were ready for development. The concept was based on my 1971 architecture thesis at the University of Toronto. While the idea was ridiculed by Downtown
Eastside activists, 10 years later it is gratifying to see it gain acceptance, not just in Vancouver but around the region and province. Another approach was family reunification. Most homeless people are estranged from their families, often for very good reasons. While many have no interest in seeing their families again, some do, but need help connecting. A third observation was that many homeless people would not be homeless if only they had a job. While many were not capable of working, others were. During the election campaign, I learned about EMBERS, the Eastside Movement for Business and
Economic Renewal Society. As noted on its website embersvancouver.com, it is a registered non-profit that helps people facing barriers to work to lead productive, fulfilling lives by offering job placements, training and support. I employed people from EMBERS to put up many of my election signs. Following the election, I wondered why the City of Vancouver didn’t hire those who wanted to work but were homeless or living in shelters to help clean up the DTES and elsewhere. I approached the engineering department and park board, but quickly learned the answer. The city’s union would not permit this. Fast forward to Fort
Worth, Texas, 2018. Fort Worth has been trying out a new way to get homeless people back on their feet, while cleaning up the city at the same time. A program called Clean Slate, funded by the city and run by the Presbyterian Night Shelter, pays the area’s homeless to collect trash. According to media accounts and an online video, it is a win-win proposition. It provides incomes so people can move out of homeless shelters or off the streets, and helps keep surrounding neighbourhoods clean. One participant said he ended up homeless and distanced from his family after serving time in prison
for drugs and struggling to find a job. After living in the shelter for almost two years, he’s about to move into his own apartment. Employees are welcome to work for the program as long as they want, but the long-term goal is to use the opportunity as a steppingstone to transition into the workforce. Fort Worth currently spends about $48,000 a year on the program, but it is planned to grow next year. Several other U.S. cities have implemented similar programs. In 2015, Albuquerque started paying panhandlers $9 an hour to pull weeds and clean up trash around the city. Los Angeles city council
created a similar program that offers jobs to the homeless and addresses the more than 200 requests the city receives per day regarding trash issues. When I posted the Fort Worth experience on Facebook, it received a lot of “likes.” But it also attracted a comment from a friend who pointed out it is not just the homeless who are barred from helping to keep the city clean by the unions. We need a multi-pronged approach to addressing homelessness and keeping our city streets and parks clean and tidy. I hope the next council and union leaders will agree.

‘Creepy’ K&K crosses the line with candidate commentary Re: “Our totally superficial assessments of Vancouver’s mayoral candidates,” June 21. I’m not one to write a letter like this, but rarely am I as offended as I am now. In reading a recent “Kudos and Kvetches” column profiling candidates in Vancouver’s upcoming election, I came across the one written for “ProVancouver” candidate David Chen. While most of the other “profiles” were rather lighthearted kidding, this one took on a dark, insulting and quite creepy tone. If I were Mr. Chen I’d be seeking legal advice. A retraction clearly is in order. Steve Turner, Vancouver

Re: “Why name your party after an organization with the same name?” July 12. Hector Bremner is quoted as saying, we’ve heard a lot of “no” from the municipal government regarding seniors’ housing, middle-class housing, rentals, etc. Really? Vancouver’s development permit board hasn’t rejected a single proposal since 2006, until a few months ago when the board nixed one condo building in Chinatown. Even then, the long streak of “yes” most assuredly would have continued if not for the vociferous public outcry. Bremner’s suggestion that development in Vancouver has been stifled, despite an unprecedented building and speculation boom over the past 10 years should provide a clear indication that we should expect more of the same, and then some, if Yes Vancouver is ever elected.

City’s music strategy aims to fix what’s plaguing Vancouver musicians Housing affordability, getting paid after gigs and securing places to play and rehearse are sore spots for Vancouver’s musicians John Kurucz
jkurucz@vancourier.com
A fire hall doubling as an arts space. Gigs in churches or community centres. Rehearsal spaces at libraries. They’re ideas that would seem entirely foreign in places not crushed by an affordability crisis, but just about anything’s on the table in a city where income inequality is 2.5 times higher than the national average and housing costs are highest in Canada. The Vancouver Music Strategy was discussed at length by council July 10, given the policy document is two years in the making and deliverable ideas are taking shape. The end goals are fluid and there are many: streamline communication between the city and artists, diversify building types that can house the arts and make life more affordable for creative types. There’s even talk of mandating “fair play” standards so venue owners compensate bands fairly and the establishment of a poverty reduction plan for local musicians. “What we want to see is partners in all things music,” said Sandra Gajic, the city’s director of civic theatres. Last Tuesday’s discussion was shaped by a report from consultancy firm Nordicity that examined the musical landscape across B.C. and Vancouver, along with advisory committee members spanning several music sectors. Artists, record label executives and cultural planners also spoke to their everyday realities, which by and large, were steeped in optimism and positivity. And they had the numbers to back it up, at least according to numbers from the Nordicity study: • 7,000 full-time jobs generated across B.C. last year • $619 million in labour income • $815 million in GDP to the provincial economy • 6,000 recording artists in B.C. • the third largest live music industry in Canada. Tarun Nayar, who plays in the local band Delhi
2 Dublin and sits on the strategy’s advisory committee, said ethnic music from Asia and India in particular is booming. One of his contemporaries had one billion online plays last year alone. “The next Drake is going to be one of these kids from one of these communities. And we have them here,” Nayar said. On the flip side, council’s discussion was also chocked full of sobering numbers. Affordability continues to dog musicians, as 56 per cent of respondents to the Nordicity survey cited unaffordable housing as their primary challenge. Another 50 per cent said getting paid by venues or promoters was a problem. And then the kicker — the average annual income of Vancouver musicians is a measly $18,000. That amount is $4,600 less than the national average. The average annual income for Vancouverites, meanwhile, is $49,702. Since the strategy’s establishment two years ago, venues such as the Media Club has gone belly up, the Rio Theatre is fighting for its life, the Cobalt is on the cusp of closure and the Red Gate Arts Society has been forced to re-locate due to cost pressures. The Fairview Pub is currently subject to a redevelopment application, and live music is rumoured to be on the outs at the Backstage Lounge as of this fall. In the last 10 years, Vancouver’s live music venue closure list includes Richards on Richards, the Columbia, the Brickyard and the Piccadilly Pub. Mesa Luna and the Starfish Room went kaput in the early 2000s. “It’s astounding to me that the average musician is making $18,000 in this city when it’s so unbelievably difficult to live,” said Coun. Adriane Carr. As a means to stop the bleeding, council approved $400,000 to hire temporary staff to fine tune the work the advisory committee has done and act on the recommendations found in the Nordicity report. City staff will also work with the school board and park board to explore how spaces covered under those
jurisdictions can be utilized by Vancouver musicians, while leveraging the province and feds for grants or other funding partnerships. Staff have also been instructed to explore grant op-
portunities that would subsidize rehearsal spaces, venues and recording studios. The finalized strategy is expected to be back before council in the spring of 2019. @JohnKurucz

FOR PET GUARDIANS:
SANDRA THOMAS sthomas@vancourier.com A recent survey of ICBC customers says 40 per cent of pet guardians plan to bring their pet on a road trip this summer. With only half of guardians saying they own a vehicle restraint or safety device for their pet, ICBC and the B.C. SPCA are urging drivers to drive smart and consider the safety of their pets when riding in a vehicle. “Many drivers consider a pet as part of their family,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “And as with any loved one who rides in your vehicle, we hope drivers will take steps to keep their dog or

How to dress for Deighton Cup on a budget Elisia Seeber
eseeber@vancourier.com
Every woman’s biggest task for the Deighton Cup is to find the perfect outfit. If you’re like me and leave everything to the last minute, don’t want to spend a fortune but still want to look a million dollars, you’re in luck. We went thrift store
shopping at My Sister’s Closet with the Deighton Cup’s red carpet emcee and Style Stakes co-host Mandy Ross to see what could be achieved with a budget of $75 or less. Ross went through the racks one by one, looking for pieces that would work for the spiffy day at Hastings Racecourse. A well-known TV personal-
ity, social media influencer and fashionista, Ross has practice when it comes to dressing up for the races and knew exactly what she was looking for. She chose dresses with bright colours, patterns and respectable hemlines. Next, she looked at the accessories. With no fascinators in store, Ross didn’t panic — she got creative.
Rummaging through the shop she found hats and scarfs as an alternative. To complete each look she picked shoes that were stylish but comfortable and smaller clutch bags. In a matter of moments she pulled together three different outfits within the budget. For the first (and cheapest) look she paired a silk

yellow polkadot dress ($22) with white heels ($20), a headscarf ($2) and a white clutch ($10). The complete look was just $54. Next, Ross found a leaf patterned dress ($24), a straw hat ($16), nude heels ($22) and a white clutch ($8). The complete race ready style was $70. Lastly, for look three, Ross discovered a bright red jumpsuit for just ($24), paired it with snakeskin heels ($38) and a straw hat ($10). You wouldn’t think it, but this look was only $72. For those who do want to splash out and treat themselves to one designer item, the store also had a Fendi purse for $300. Ross said there were a few rules she likes to stick

when putting together an outfit for Vancouver’s biggest summer fashion event. “Everyone turns it up a notch for the Deighton Cup,” she explained. “The main thing I always say is keep it classy… You can have fun with your look while still maintaining class and elegance.”
July 6, 2018 - The Review Panel conducting the environmental assessment for the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project is seeking comments on information request responses and draft Public Hearing Procedures. The Review Panel is inviting comments on the responses from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (the Proponent) to the Review Panel's information requests received up to July 6, 2018, including the Project Construction Update (Document 1210). The public, Indigenous groups, government departments and agencies are invited to submit written comments on whether the information provided by the Proponent is sufficient. To date the Proponent has responded to Information Request Package 1 through 6, as well as to select topics found in Package 7 and 8, which can be found on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry (Document 934). Participants are encouraged to review the available information and provide their comments. Before determining whether it has sufficient information to proceed to a public hearing, the Review Panel will hold an additional public comment period on all remaining information available on the public registry.
The Courier’s Elisia Seeber shows off three winning outfits to wear at this weekend’s Deighton Cup, all for $75 or less.

The Review Panel also invites Indigenous groups, the public, and the Proponent to submit comments on the draft Public Hearing Procedures that outline how the public hearing will be organized and how the public and Indigenous groups can participate.

At this time, the Review Panel cannot predict the timing of the public hearing. The Review Panel will provide 60 days’ notice in advance of the start of the public hearing.
1092 Seymour St. “For affordable pieces one of my top picks would be My Sister’s Closet. I think anyone on any budget could find a complete outfit for Deighton Cup here. It’s a mix of designer and casual wear at a mix of price points. I love the fact that it gives back to a good cause.”
The Review Panel is seeking input on the timing of traditional activities that should be considered when scheduling the public hearing, including input regarding suitable locations to hold the General and Community hearing sessions. The Review Panel will consider all comments received before issuing the final Public Hearing Procedures and the Public Hearing Schedule. All comments received on the Proponent’s responses to information requests, the Project Construction Update, and the draft Public Hearing Procedures will be considered public and will be posted to the online public registry.

1025 Howe St. “If you’re looking for high-end fashion, I would definitely recommend Mine and Yours Co. They bring in only the highest quality pieces. It is on the higher end of the budget but there are pieces in there that are not that expensive that people could afford, so it is worth popping in.”
Lady Madonna
432 Homer St. “Lady Madonna has an eclec-
tic mix of some of the pieces that are originally made in store, but they also have previously owned items. You can find really interesting pieces. If you have a creative personality type you might be able to score something unique and fun there.”
Value Village or Salvation Army
“Places like Value Village or Salvation Army, while a lot of people might not think to go to a place like that, if you go and you’re willing to look and rummage through you can find some amazing pieces. There are stories where people have found Chanel bags from looking through the racks.”
Hunter and Hare

Prevail-ing wisdom: ‘Style Stakes’ are high at Deighton Cup ‘Best dressed’ Prevail Hendriks offers fashion advice for men attending day at the races Sandra Thomas
sthomas@vancourier.com
Leaning over the white wooden fence that lines the track at Hastings Racecourse, Prevail Hendriks waves an outdated program and urges on an imaginary horse. “Go, number five,” Hendriks yells enthusiastically, as if the track is crowded with horses. The scripted scene is all part of a photo shoot about men’s fashion and the popular Deighton Cup held annually at the track — and Hendriks is ready for his close up. Despite the day turning unexpectedly hot, Hendriks maintains his easy grin and never once complains during the lengthy shoot — despite the fact he’s dressed in a suit jacket, long pants and a hat. Looking both cool and casual Hendriks exudes style, which is what it takes to be named best dressed man or “Gallant Sartorialist” at the Deighton Cup Style Stakes, one of the highlights of the day at the races — and of Vancouver’s social scene. And since Hendriks, also a member of the Juno Awardwinning hip hop group Swollen Members, earned the title last year, the Courier went to the source looking for men’s style advice for the Deighton Cup, famous for its fashion, food and fascinators. Not wanting to give away his complete look for this year’s event, Hendriks mixed and matched some new pieces with past favourites for this shoot. The 10th annual Deighton Cup takes place at Hastings Racecourse July 21.
You were named the “Gallant Sartorialist” at last year’s Deighton Cup. What does that mean?
Being crowned as the Gallant Sartorialist was a true honour. Deighton Cup is such a great and important event and to be fortunate enough to receive the top prize definitely instilled a sense of confidence in terms of style.
How many years have you been attending Deighton Cup?
My first Deighton Cup was about six years ago. I actually attended with my nephew and we had a blast. That year I rocked a vintage Vivienne Westwood outfit and fell in love with the spirit of the event. For most women attending Deighton Cup, it’s all about the hat. How important is that for men?
As with all things in life, to each their own, but for me, a great hat is imperative. My chapeau this year is a bespoke piece by MJ at West Coast Hatters and she is a true master of her craft. What’s the most important accessory a well-dressed man needs for Deighton Cup?
I always appreciate gents who can proudly rock a boutonnière, but add-ons like a pocket watch or broach also add a certain dégagé. Is a pocket square mandatory?
Not necessary, but always awesome as long as the general rule is followed — if you have neckwear with sheen, your pocket square should be a dry or matte material.
It’s popular to mix patterns on top and bottom. Is there a rule you follow to make sure that works and you don’t end up looking like Randy Quaid in Vacation?
If you are going pattern heavy, make sure to compliment with varying textures. And be mindful of sizes — i.e. a window pane jacket needs a gingham check shirt to balance.

How long does it take you to plan your look for Deighton Cup each year?
I plan my outfit a few months in advance. As the West Coast Ambassador for Surmesur, this is the first year I was able to design my entire ensemble from top to bottom. Do you add any vintage pieces to your outfits?
My signature piece is always neckwear of some sort from Hermès, and this year I landed a very appropriate vintage pocket square, which I roll over like a neckerchief. Who are your fashion influences?
I’m always a student of the game and I think experimenting — once you learn a few basic rules — is one of the most fulfilling aspects of life. I have two books that I consider mainstays and in tantamount they harken back to the best dressed gentlemen of all time while also celebrating the new visionaries, Alan Flusser’s Clothes and The Man and Nathaniel Adams’ I am Dandy. Any quick tips for men attending for the first time?
Have fun!

Cow overboard! Legend of stampede at sea no bull grantlawrence12@gmail.com
“It’s definitely the most bizarre incident that’s ever happened to me on the ocean.” That’s what tugboat captain John Dolmage of North Vancouver, now 65, recently said about a high “steaks” story from Sept. 28, 1976, in the waters of Burrard Inlet. This same story has long been a favourite around our family dinner table, because of my father’s direct involvement. In the early 1970s, my dad had entered into a partnership to purchase an old farm on Gambier Island in Howe Sound. The plan was to subdivide the property into lots to sell for cabins, and keep the main farm operational. They named it the rather quirky sounding Gambier Island Sea Ranch. There was livestock on the farm, including cattle. At the end of each summer season, the cattle were loaded onto a barge and taken to market. In the fall of 1976, Dolmage, then 23 years old, was captain of the tugboat Defender. He and his first mate, Colin Lester, were tasked with loading nine head of cattle onto a barge that they would tow from Gambier Island to the loading dock in North Vancouver. My dad, then 36 years old, was surprised to see that the barge had no railings. “The skipper assured me that they transported animals all the time and that the cows would settle down,” my dad recalled. Dolmage concurred that there were no sides to his barge, but said he did have five-foot posts with rope between them, creating a barrier. “That sort of situation
was usually fine and the rumble of the tug’s engine calmed them right down,” said Dolmage. The ocean was dead calm that night. They departed Gambier at high tide, roughly 7 p.m. “By the time we rounded Point Atkinson, the cows were all lying down on the barge and everything was smooth,” remembered Dolmage. Dad had already returned to our West Vancouver home. We watched the tug and barge pass by along the shore from our dining room window. All seemed well and my dad went to bed rest assured. “When we got under Lion’s Gate Bridge, I asked my first mate Colin to see how the cows were doing. Well, he did a double take that I’ll never forget,” laughed Dolmage. “He says to me, ‘John! Oh Christ, they’ve jumped!’” Dolmage looked back just in time to see the last cow take the plunge. “In the moment, we didn’t know what the hell happened, but later on we figured that the overhead car noise from the bridge must have spooked them. So I followed protocol and called it in right away to the First Narrows Signal Station. I said, ‘I just lost a load of cows and they’re swimming around in the narrows.’” There was a long pause. The marine operator responded with, “It sounded like you said cows. Could you repeat?” Dolmage yelled back, “Yes, cows! Cows overboard!” “All of a sudden the radio came alive, because every ship in the harbour heard my call, eh?” Soon the narrows under the bridge was filled with

boats, including a Vancouver Police launch, all taking part in a never-seen-beforeor-since rodeo at sea. “There was this one really big Vancouver cop named Jack who grew up around cattle. He came aboard Defender and we managed to it get alongside two of the calves. This cop reached over and lifted the calves one by one right out of the water and onto the tug,” Dolmage said. The rest of the full-grown herd was swimming off in different directions, so the responding crews fashioned their ropes as lassos. “That actually worked on a couple of the cows, and we towed them into shore alongside the tug,” said Dolmage. “But it was chaotic and getting darker. We were losing sight of the rest of the herd.” A few of the cows swam for Stanley Park, where the mounted VPD were radioed. The police thundered down the hill on horseback for a Third Beach roundup.
More cows were spotted by freighters and other boats throughout Burrard Inlet. Dolmage and Lester didn’t give up on their cargo, and the tug’s radio crackled with sightings. They eventually found one that had been swimming for several hours. The heifer was heaving with fatigue, so Lester tied a life jacket around its neck and they towed it to the nearest beach. Two others had come ashore at West Bay Beach in West Vancouver, which is where Dolmage next steered to find the steers. When he arrived at around midnight, West Van police were already on scene. “The cops had just pulled this soaking cow out of the water, when a North Shore News reporter walked up and, out of the blue, took a flash photo right in the cow’s face,” Dolmage said. “Well, that spooked the cow, and it took off, thundering into someone’s yard.” At 2 a.m., our home
phone rang. “Mr. Garth Lawrence? This is Sergeant Aikenhead of the West Vancouver Police. We have two of your cows down on West Bay Beach and we’re going to have to shoot them to avoid further potential property damage.” Dad jumped out of bed. You can imagine his shock: he assumed that his cows were safely to market. Instead they were running through people’s yards a few blocks away from our home. Dad managed to convince the police to instead call a veterinarian to tranquilize the cows, which they reluctantly agreed to. Dolmage was still on the scene. “While we were waiting for the vet, we finally managed to catch the cows and calm them down. A cop had his arm around one cow’s neck and was stroking it when, I kid you not, the North Shore News photographer snuck up again and took another flash photo. This time that cow took off running down the beach with the cop still hanging on to its neck. The police were furious with that guy.” The vet and my dad arrived at West Bay in the early morning hours. The vet successfully tranquilized the rampaging cows, but one 1,500-pounder dropped near the tide line, and no one could budge the bovine. Dad realized the only way to get it off the beach would be with another barge, hopefully before the tide came in. By the time Captain Rick Byrne arrived from Gulf of Georgia towing, Dad and several WVPD members were waist-deep in the rising tide, holding the sleeping cow’s head above water so it wouldn’t drown. With a sheet of plywood slid under
the cow, they somehow managed to load it aboard. Further down the beach, Bellevue Avenue resident Barbara Brink, the founder and former CEO of Science World and member of the Order of Canada, woke up to the sound of dogs barking. “I looked out my bedroom window and there was a cow standing on the beach. It was a misty morning, so it looked like a surreal English painting,” Brink recollected. “I rubbed my eyes and wondered if I had eaten something hallucinogenic the night before.” Of the nine cows that went overboard that night, seven were rescued. One was spotted by a Coast Guard cutter the following afternoon, still swimming, a full 16 hours after the herd had jumped ship. It was safely towed in to Sandy Cove in West Vancouver. Two cows drowned, their bodies eventually washing up on Bowen Island and Horseshoe Bay. The story made international news. Dolmage received a thorough teasing, too. “Oh yeah, I heard about it. ‘MOO DAY, MOO DAY’ and all that. At 4 a.m., when I was finally heading in, another guy radioed me and asked, ‘Were those union cows!?’ There was a lot of labour trouble back then, so I replied, ‘They must have been, because they walked off!’” There’s a 40th anniversary party for the Gambier Island Sea Ranch this Saturday, July 21. You can be sure they’ll be re-telling the cows-overboard story, with maybe a little extra bull thrown in for good measure. For all involved, it’s certainly proven to be an extremely memorable mooment. @grantlawrence

Consumerism and records get put through spin cycle
We are the Robots is at Vancouver Art Gallery until late October John Kurucz

Kevin Schmidt’s attempts to reconcile technology and art almost leave you thinking there’s a bit of a conflicted communist living inside the 46-year-old Vancouver visual artist. His exhibit We Are the Robots is on display now at the Vancouver Art Gallery and plays on the conflict of mass media consumption versus DIY sensibilities. Visually, Schmidt does this in multiple rooms at the art gallery through the use of homemade
ing of the word robot is pointing to the fact that we are the machines and the system that we’re living in is using us as machines.” Schmidt started out as a musician long before attacking such heady concepts and high art. He’s watched the demise of record companies and the democratization of music that’s led to people consuming art in ways that were completely foreign when he first hit stages in the 1990s. Gone are A/R reps — “gatekeepers” as he calls them — while home studios are the here and now. But Schmidt doesn’t necessarily see that as a good thing. “There are still gatekeepers, but it’s a lot more democratic,” Schmidt said. “The problem is that creates pressure on everybody
take away from all this? “On one hand, it’s just a simple listening experience,” Schmidt said. “Whether someone goes from that to starting to think about private and public space and the democratization of culture, that’s fine with me.” @JohnKurucz We Are the Robots runs until Oct. 28.

So, he and his wife opened the first Tim Hortons in the small town they grew up in. Already heavily involved with community events of his own through his years as a professional athlete, Greg’s transition to the world of Tim Hortons was a seamless one. Now with the support of a national brand, his and his wife’s contributions have been taken to the next level. Where they once sponsored a single Timbit hockey team, they now sponsor over 75 across the Cowichan Valley. Thank you, Greg. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

Pipeline protests fuel family film Kayak to Klemtu is youth-driven fiction about a very real issue

When the Northern Gateway Pipeline announced plans to bring tanker traffic into the Inside Passage along B.C.’s coast, the Heiltsuk Nation in Bella Bella invited its members to give testimony about the impact this traffic would have on the water, the land and its people. Over the course of four days, a steady stream of Heiltsuk people stepped up to a microphone and voiced their gravest concerns about the future of the waterways — and Zoe Leigh Hopkins recorded every word. “It was my responsibility to document all of the testimony that my people put down, and I sat behind the camera and cried for four days while people spoke out about our land and our traditions,” says Hopkins, a screenwriter and director who hails from the Heiltsuk fishing village. Plans for the Northern Gateway Pipeline were ultimately scrapped — mainly due to the relentless and vehement outcry from First Nations communities — but the debate over pipelines rages on. Hopkins’ visceral response to the testimony she
witnessed — and the emotionally charged protests that continue to accompany pipeline projects — power Kayak to Klemtu, the narrative feature film Hopkins co-wrote and directed. Kayak to Klemtu stars Ta’kaiya Blaney as Ella, a Heiltsuk teen who makes the 500-km journey from Vancouver to the remote island of Klemtu by kayak in order to fulfill her late uncle’s wish and give testimony at a hearing much like the one Hopkins documented. The feature also stars Lorne Cardinal (Corner Gas) as her surviving uncle and Sonja Bennett (Preggoland) as her late uncle’s widow. Kayak to Klemtu premiered at 2017 ImagineNATIVE and won Best Canadian First Feature at the Victoria Film Festival; the film will screen at VIFF’s Vancity Theatre on July 21 and 23. “I’m really looking forward to screening it in Vancouver because I know it’s going to resonate more than other places I’ve shown it,” says Hopkins. Hopkins and co. filmed on location in Bella Bella and Klemtu — and on the ocean, an experience that claimed an expensive drone. “Drones don’t

like to be launched from a moving vehicle on the water,” she learned. Days after production wrapped, a tugboat pushing an American fuel barge ran aground and spilled 200,000 litres of diesel near Bella Bella. It took 33 days to recover the boat, while fuel spread for miles, destroying the Heiltsuk fishery. “One thing I wanted to convey to kids and young people through this film is that the ocean is a global concern,” says Hopkins. “It’s not territorial to a
race of people. It affects all of us.” But this point is often lost in debates around pipelines, which tend to be steeped in racism, Hopkins says. “With any environmental concern, especially ones that involve First Nations territory, I think that the misconception in the media or in social media is that it is quote-unquote an Indian problem,” says Hopkins. “Yes, absolutely it affects our culture and our traditions and our way of life that goes back millennia, but it should be a global
concern. That’s something that’s missed when these things are responded to in a racist way.” But Kayak to Klemtu isn’t just about tanker traffic and territorial waterways; it’s also a family film, with complicated interfamilial relationships and a compelling coming-of-age arc for Blaney’s Ella. By placing the pipeline issue within a family film, Hopkins hopes to reach young audience members “who haven’t yet formed a political opinion about these things, [and] who haven’t
yet come to the realization that they don’t know a lot about First Nations people on the coast. It’s a way to reach people who won’t necessarily go to see a documentary about this topic.” In June, Kayak to Klemtu won two Leo Awards: Best Supporting Performance by a Female in a Motion Picture for Bennett, and Best Lead Performance by a Female for Blaney. “Ta’Kaiya’s just a fireball,” says Hopkins of Blaney, a young musician, actress, and activist from the Tla’Amin First Nation who in 2014 addressed the United Nations about the rights of Indigenous children and youth. “I’m so proud to have the real girl in this movie,” marvels Hopkins. “She said to me that she has said so many of the things that are in the script in real life, and I think that made it just so much more of a passionate performance, because these are things that she’s passionate about in her life as well.” Kayak to Klemtu screens July 21 and July 23 at VIFF’s Vancity Theatre; a performance by the Urban Heiltsuk Dance Group will follow the July 21.

The hockey blog that knows who needs the puck
Pass It to Bulis
Antoine Roussel should quickly become a fan favourite in Vancouver
Big Numbers •
721
•
2.51 Fortunately, Roussel draws as many penalties as he takes. Literally. Roussel took 2.51 penalties per hour last season, but also drew 2.51 penalties per hour. That means a lot of coincidental minors, but he’ll give the Canucks some power play opportunities as well.
Feisty Frenchman brings agitation, penalty-killing and a dash of skill
Backhand Sauce Daniel Wagner
Who is the best French hockey player of all time? Some might suggest Maurice “the Rocket” Richard, others might point to Jean Beliveau or Guy Lafleur, but it’s hard to argue against Mario Lemieux. Which means I should have been more specific: Who is the best hockey player of all time from France? It might just be new Canuck Antoine Roussel. You could make an argument for Paul Maclean, who was born in France to Canadian parents and moved back to Canada at the age of two. He had a fantastic NHL career that was cut short by injuries, tallying 324 goals and 673 points in 719 games, before moving on to his coaching career. As French-born hockey players go, Maclean can’t be beat. But when it comes to players born and raised in France, Roussel is the best of a pretty small group, with only Cristobal Huet’s brief three-year stint as one of the top goaltenders in the NHL offering any competition. Sure, that mostly speaks to the paucity of French hockey players in the NHL, but Roussel has managed to craft a solid NHL career out of his multi-dimensional play. In this case, “multi-dimensional” means he’s a pain-in-the-neck to play against. As much as Roussel’s contract is a year or two too long and $1 million too much per year, that should not reflect poorly on Roussel himself, who should quickly become a fan favourite with his pesky, aggravating style that brings to mind another feisty Frenchman: Alex Burrows. Roussel’s similarity to Burrows was apparent right from his first appearance in a Canucks jersey seven years ago. As an undrafted and unsigned invitee to Canucks camp, Roussel stuck around a lot longer than expected. He was the last invitee cut at training camp and was offered an AHL contract with the Chicago Wolves in hopes that he would work his way up to the NHL.
A25
Over the last five seasons, only Tom Wilson has more penalty minutes than Antoine Roussel’s 721. He may be a great penalty killer, but he’s frequently the reason his team is on the penalty kill in the first place.
Stick-taps & Glove-drops • Somehow missed this in last week’s column, but a tap of the stick to Alex Burrows as he announced his retirement and joined the coaching staff of the Laval Rocket of the AHL. As the Sedins will tell you, Burrows thinks the game at a high level and should make a great coach. • A stick-tap in memory of Ray Emery. The 35-year-old goaltender tragically drowned on Sunday morning, the day after playing in a charity hockey game in Hamilton, Ont.
Antoine Roussel made a name and a pest of himself during his time with the Dallas Stars.
He did, albeit with another team, finding a home with the Dallas Stars. “Vancouver was the first team that gave me a chance early in my career,” said Roussel. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make something happen after my year in the minors with the Canucks, but I felt like I had a soft spot for the organization — I felt like I belonged there. “I stayed in the city for a little bit for the training camp and I fell in love with the city.” Roussel’s connection to Vancouver continued throughout his time in Dallas thanks to training with Burrows in the off-season. “I’ve been training with Alex Burrows for the past eight years,” he said. “Every summer he talks about how great the organization and city is. To me it was a no-brainer.” Roussel isn’t an exact replica of Burrows, of course. For instance, his accent is much less thick. He’s also more purely a thirdline agitator, playing that role at every level, whereas Burrows showed his top-six upside
in the ECHL and AHL before he broke out as a first-line forward alongside the Sedins. While Roussel isn’t likely to be a first or second-line forward, he does have more skill than the average agitator. While he’s coming off a career-low five goals, he’s also coming off a career-low 5.9 shooting percentage. A return to his career shooting percentage of 11.6 should see him score 10 to 15 goals, while also providing good puck possession at evenstrength and solid penalty killing. A gritty, penalty-killing Frenchman who gets under the skin of his opponents and has a penchant for putting up points in a depth role? That’s a recipe for a fan favourite in Vancouver.

Real estate
More than $2,000 a month for a co-op unit — what gives? An explainer on how rents for the city’s newest co-op were established Naoibh O’Connor
noconnor@vancourier.com
Is $2,050 to $2,750 a month reasonable rent for two- or three-bedroom coop apartments and townhouses in Vancouver? Readers balked at those numbers after the Courier published a story outlining such rents for the first phase of the new Fraserview Housing Cooperative in River District at 2910 East Kent Ave. The figures are 10 to 20 per cent below market rent in the area and they’re geared toward families earning $82,000 to $110,000. To find out how the rents were set, we talked to Thom Armstrong, executive director of the Co-operative Housing Federation of B.C. (CHF BC) and the Community Land Trust. “I agree that when you say 85 per cent of market, the stock reply is, yeah, but the market is crazy so 85 per cent of crazy isn’t really very satisfying,” he said. “But the thing that I think people will notice — and this has certainly been the case in the Athletes Village co-op and it will be the case in the Railyard co-op, in addition to Fraserview — is that on day one, that’s as expensive as it ever gets. Relative to income, and relative to market, it just gets better and more affordable every year after that.”
The development
Fraserview co-op is the product of a 2014 development agreement between the Community Land Trust — the nonprofit that serves as the real estate arm for CHF BC — and the City of Vancouver. The deal involved creat-
Mayor Gregor Robertson helped mark the opening of the first phase of the Fraserview Housing Cooperative on East Kent Avenue in River District on July 9. Rents for the 90 units will be between $2,050 and $2,750. Not everyone is happy with those figures. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET
ing 358 units of affordable housing on city-owned sites: 90 at the East Kent Fraserview co-op site, 188 in Fraserview co-op’s two towers under construction nearby on Southeast Marine Drive, 32 non-co-op units in townhouses to be run by Tikva Housing Society just to the south of the towers, and another 48 units at 1700 Kingsway (Sanford Housing Society). The development agreement required the land trust to carry out a market rent appraisal for the surrounding area. The numbers that came back indicated that $2,050 to $2,750 amounted to between 80 and 90 per cent of the market rate. The use of the standard measure of affordability for rent — 30 per cent of gross income — produces the income range of $82,000 to $110,000 a year. “If you think of a young
$739,000
couple, each in a fairly modest job, earning $55,000, they get to the $110,000,” Armstrong said, while acknowledging other costs such childcare and transportation may make the rent a bit of a squeeze for monthly budgets. Facebook comments on the Courier’s original story posted below were highly critical of the rates.
The big picture
What Armstrong said people might not understand, partially because the project is being developed in phases, is that because there’s no government subsidy coming in, you have to figure out a way to generate enough revenue to hit the affordability targets you’re aiming for in the overall development portfolio. He said the two towers that are part of the portfolio wouldn’t have been eco-

nomical to develop on their own. They’re on a steep incline up to Southeast Marine Drive and the excavation is “horribly expensive.” Since the overall development agreement calls for 358 units, that leaves a balance of 268 units after accounting for the 90 units in phase one on East Kent Avenue. The target for the 268 units is to arrive at housing costs (a.k.a. rents) that are no more expensive than 75 per cent of the market rate, with a target of 20 per cent of the units being for the lowest income bracket, some of which will be at a shelter rate of $375. Creating the 90 units is what generates the cash that makes the rest of the portfolio more “deeply affordable,” Armstrong said. “Seventy-five per cent of the market — that’s the worst it gets [for the 268 units]. Because you’re oper-
ating on a non-profit basis, it only gets better than that. If you want to offer a couple of hundred units at those very affordable rates, the cash to subsidize them has to come from somewhere,” he said. “Some people might feel that’s not ideal. I’d say if there was a government subsidy program that drove all the housing charges down lower, that would be fabulous, but there isn’t. I know if you’ve lived in a co-op for the last 30 years and you’ve seen your housing charges fall every year relative to market, and you’re paying $900 a month, the housing charges in Fraserview do seem very high but that’s because you’ve been sheltered by the government program your co-op has developed under for the last 30 years.”
Looking into the future
Housing costs in co-ops, which cover debt service, operating expenses and allocations to reserves, don’t have to go up unless the operating expenses or the financing costs go up. Armstrong said there will likely be increases to housing costs, but the increases won’t be as steady or as rapid as in surrounding market rents. “They don’t have to be because they’re not trying to deliver a profit to a shareholder or a developer,” he said. Any increases would be based on whatever the co-op needs to keep paying the mortgage and meet its operating expenses. That’s determined by a vote of the members who elect a board of directors, which hires a management company. A budget is put together and members vote on hous-
ing charges. Armstrong said as long as they don’t vote to put the co-op under financial water, they can set rents at whatever they want. “There’s no obligation to raise the housing [costs] by any set measure unless you have to because your expenses have gone up. Financing expenses should go down over time and it should be pretty reasonable,” he said. Aside from the set housing cost in Fraserview co-op, there is a one-time share purchase, which ranges between $2,500 and $3,500, which is refundable when the resident leaves. One parking stall is included in the housing charge as is a Telus service package, but members are billed separately for heat, hot water and electricity, and there is an extra charge for additional parking. For his part, Armstrong said while he understands what people are thinking when they see housing costs of more than $2,000, it’s a complicated and unique model of development. “You always evaluate this kind of thing based on your own circumstances, but co-ops have always been mixed-income communities. You’ll find people with very, very low incomes and people with quite moderate incomes living in the same co-op. That’s how the financial model has always been built,” he said. “So, if you use that 30 per cent threshold, that’s the income band you get — the $82,000 to $110,000. I know lots of people in that income band who say they can’t afford to live in Vancouver. At these rents there will be fewer people saying that.” @naoibh

self-assured, and it’s not like the company has had much luck before. Despite fielding convincingly fast and reliable machines in past outings, the Toyota team has thus far come up short. Not this time. Success at last. Finishing first and second, both Toyota TS050 hybrids were a full 12 laps ahead of the third-place finisher. This was the team’s 20th event, and the victory was made sweeter by the waiting. Charismatic but unlucky F1 champion Fernando Alonso was at the wheel, suggesting perhaps that more than just Toyota is breaking their losing streak here (Alonso hasn’t won in F1 in five years). There’s a chance he could go back to the Indy 500 and try for motorsport’s vaunted triple crown: Monaco, Indy, and Le Mans. In the meantime, there’s even more shocking news as Toyota has announced they’ll be making a roadgoing version of their endurance racer. The GR Super Sport concept is reportedly heading to production in some form, equipped with a twin-turbocharged V-6 and hybrid system good for a combined 1,000 horsepower. This won’t be some heavy-hitter luxury Bugatti Veyron rival either, but a stripped-out racing machine capable of producing astounding pace. This is all very exciting stuff, but can the Toyota fan in me raise a hand and ask when we can get something a little more downmarket? The current Toyota 86 is pretty good, but its roots are more Subaru than Toyota. What about a machine that channels the best attributes of the Corolla GT-S or Celica?

The current Mazda MX-5 doesn’t need any more power than it currently has. This little car already runs through the quarter-mile in the 14 second range, which is far quicker than most of its predecessors, and if you can’t carry that momentum around a track, maybe the problem is behind the wheel, not under the hood. However, that’s not to
say there’s not room for improvement. The 2.0-litre engine in the current car redlines out at 6,800 r.p.m., where the 1.5-litre versions rev some 700 r.p.m. higher. That might not seem like a big deal, but the MX-5 is totally the kind of car to make you want to wring it out on your favourite backroad. It’s supposed to be revvy and quick and accessible. Good news then, as Mazda’s updated 2019 version will come with a new 7,500 r.p.m. redline thanks to a lightened rotating assembly. Power is now up to 181 h.p., although torque remains the same. If you’re looking for more of a cruiser, maybe you can get a good deal on the current model — it’s still some of the most fun you can have behind the wheel.
Porsche buys chunk of Rimac electric supercar company
Back to the electrified supercar stuff for a bit. Rimac, who you might not have heard of, is a small, boutique supercar maker that produces some blazingly fast all-electric machines. The performance is eye-watering, and so is the cost: their upcoming Concept Two will have some 2,000 h.p., and a price tag in the millions. So, you probably won’t be able to afford one for a bit. However, it may be of interest to note that Porsche has just bought a 10 per cent stake in Rimac. Supercar manufacturing is a dangerous game, as market shifts have pulled many of the big names under. Where Rimac ultimately wants to be is as a supplier to the established marques. With Porsche’s all-electric effort, now called the Taycan (it’s a pretty terrible name; I liked MissionE better), soon to arrive, the timing for the partnership couldn’t be better. Electrified performance won’t please the purists who’ll miss the sound of internal combustion, but the instant torque will please everyone else. A plug-in Porsche 911 that can out-drag a Tesla Model S but still provide some nimble handling around your favourite racetrack? Sign me up.
