Anti-Asian violence, vandalism not acceptable in our city THE City of Vancouver said in a statement on Friday: “As we prepare to celebrate Asian Heritage Month in Vancouver during the month of May, the City needs to acknowledge there have been increased incidents of hateful comments, vandalism and violence in our own city targeted at people of Asian descent.”

“As a City of Reconciliation, Vancouver is committed to anti-racism, anti-discrimination, diversity, inclusion and the full participation of all members in our society,” said City Manager Sadhu Johnston. “Healthy communities are established and thrive when all community members experience a strong sense of belonging, respect for diversity and intercultural understanding, and social cohesion. No one should feel unsafe, harassed or that they don’t belong, and we at the City of

Vancouver will not tolerate acts of hate.”

The City noted: “History has shown that racism and discrimination are heightened in times of crisis. While various forms of racism, faith-based discrimination and stigmatization of people living in poverty continue, the global spread of coronavirus has triggered targeted and intensifying xenophobia and anti-Chinese/ anti-Asian racism in cities around the world.”

It added: “The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is investigating a number of anti-Asian incidents in the past several weeks. The City and the Vancouver Police Department take hate crime and hatemotivated incidents very seriously. Anyone who has been a victim of hate crime or witnesses a hate crime is encouraged to report it to police.”

“We must acknowledge and confront racism and discrimination when and where they occur,” said Sandra Singh, General Manager of Arts, Culture and Community Services for the City, and responsible for the City’s support programs for its most vulnerable citizens. “Each of us has a responsibility to stand against racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes. We at the City of Vancouver stand with our diverse communities and celebrate their contributions to the fabric of this amazing city. And we continue to support those with longstanding vulnerabilities caused by racism, poverty and exclusion.”

Community Supports and Initiatives:

• VPD Diversity, Inclusion and Indigenous Relations Section implements public safety initiatives, develops community partnerships,

and addresses victimization and investigates incidents motivated by bias, prejudice, and hate • Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network connects communities with information, supports and training, to respond to and prevent future incidents of racism and hate • MOSAIC offers services such as legal advocacy, raising awareness of challenges based on race, supports for LGBTQ newcomers, and Multicultural Victim Services support • Vancouver Asian Film Festival launches ‘elimin8hate,’ a multimedia campaign to document and transform racist attacks against Asian-Canadians into positive public service announcements.

Vancouver speaks out against racism during COVID-19 pandemic

VANCOUVER Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect who defaced several large windows at the Chinese Cultural Centre with hateful graffiti on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside last month.

“It’s disheartening to report that these types of crimes are ongoing during the pandemic,” said Constable Tania Visintin on Friday. “Our department takes crimes with such hate attached extremely seriously. We will not tolerate this in our city.”

Police believe the suspect walked into the courtyard of the Chinese Cultural Centre in the afternoon of April 2, and wrote disturbing, racist remarks towards the East Asian community on four large glass windows.

The suspect is described as white, with a thin build. At the time of the in-

cident, he was wearing a black jacket, black pants and grey running shoes.

He was also wearing a black baseball cap with writing on the front and had a black and white bandana covering his nose and mouth.

In recent weeks, Vancouver Police say they have seen an increase in reports of anti-East Asian hate-motivated incidents and criminal acts. Fifteen hate crimes were reported to police in April. Eleven of those reports had an anti-East Asian element. So far in 2020, there have been a total of 20 anti-East Asian hate crimes reported to police.

In comparison, there were 12 in all of 2019.

Anyone with information is asked to call the VPD investigators at 604-7172773 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

Standing up against racism during COVID-19

BY SHANE SIMPSON MLA for Vancouver-Hastings & GEORGE CHOW MLA for Vancouver-Fraserview LAST week, we were shocked and outraged to learn of the assault against an elderly Asian man in East Vancouver, which the police identified as a racially motivated attack.

Regrettably, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a rise in anti-Chinese and anti-Asian sentiment throughout Vancouver and the province.

Chinese businesses, especially restaurants and grocery stores, are suffering due to racist misinformation about the transmission of the corona virus. The Vancouver Police Department has noted an increase in hate crimes for March and 45% of those crimes had an anti-Asian element. Hate crimes and racially motivated attacks are usually under-reported meaning the actual numbers may in fact be much higher.

We have also seen a growing number of incidents of anti-Asian slurs being launched at our community members and some have even been told to “go back to China”. Right now, we are living in a time fraught with uncertainty, but we know that racism is not the answer.

Through challenging times, we are always stronger as a community when

SHANE SIMPSON

GEORGE CHOW

we treat each other with kindness, generosity and respect. The recently launched Resilience B.C. Anti-Racism Network is one platform to connect communities with information, supports, and training to prevent future incidents of racism and hate. We must do all that we can to be vigilant and stand up against racist attacks like these in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot fall into complacency, prejudice and ignorance – both now while we are living through this crisis and after.

We are privileged to live in one of the most culturally diverse places in the world, and we all need to work together to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, valued and respected in British Columbia. We urge all British Columbians to do their part and stand up against the rise of anti-Asian sentiment and hate in the wake of COVID-19. There are many things we can all do, including supporting local Chinese businesses, calling out injustice and reporting hate crimes.

CANADIAN High Commissioner in New Delhi, Nadir Patel, tweeted on Friday that the 18th special flight for Canadians stranded in India had just departed from Amritsar.

He added: “More flights coming up, bookings continue, please be patient as we work through the list of Canadians looking to go home.”

Another special flight – the 17th - left Delhi early Friday morning and Patel tweeted “a huge thank you” to Qatar Airways “for helping Canadians return home.”

The 16th special flight left Amritsar on Wednesday night with 360+ Canadian travelers, and on Wednesday morning the 15th special flight had left Mumbai with more Canadian travelers.

On Tuesday, the 14th special flight with Canadians took off from Kolkata and Patel tweeted: “Huge thanks to our colleagues Australian High Commissioner Barry O’Farrell & his team for collaborating to make this happen.”

The 13th special flight with Canadians had departed from Bangalore on Monday, covering six states in the south.

And last Sunday (April 26) the 12th special flight from India departed from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, with nearly 300 Canadians aboard.

Trudeau announces ban on assault-style firearms PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced a ban on over 1,500 models and variants of assault-style firearms. These models represent nine categories of firearms and two types identified by characteristic. Some of their components are also prohibited.

Trudeau said one Canadian killed by gun violence is one

too many. Violent crimes involving firearms continue to have devastating impacts on communities across the country, and on Canadians who have lost loved ones to these crimes. Events like the recent tragedy in Nova Scotia, the attack in 2017 at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec, and the massacre that took place in 1989

at École Polytechnique de Montréal should never have happened. That is why the government was introducing measures to combat gun violence, and help keep Canadians safe.

The newly prohibited firearms and components cannot be legally used, sold, or imported. Owners must also continue to safely store them,

and may only transfer and transport them under limited circumstances. These measures will remove dangerous firearms designed for military use from our communities, and help ensure that Canadian families and communities no longer suffer from gun violence.

There will be a transition period of two years to protect owners of newly prohibited firearms from criminal liability while they take steps to comply with these new rules.

This two-year amnesty order under the Criminal Code is in effect until April 30, 2022.

There are exceptions under the amnesty for Indigenous peoples exercising Aboriginal or treaty rights to hunt, and for those who hunt or trap to sustain themselves or their families. These exceptions will allow for the continued use of newly prohibited firearms in limited circumstances until a suitable replacement can be found. By the end of the amnesty period, all firearms owners must comply with the ban.

The government intends to implement a buy-back program as soon as possible to safely remove these firearms and to introduce legislation as early as possible, working with Parliament and through public consultation.

Trudeau said: “Because of gun violence, people are dying, families are grieving, and communities are suffering. It must end. Assault-style firearms designed for military use have no place in Canada.

By removing them from our streets, we will limit the devastating effects of gun-related

we are announcing today.”

Justin Trudeau violence and help make our country safer.”

Bill Blair, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, added: “Prohibiting these firearms immediately freezes the market in Canada for the most prevalent assault-style firearms that are not suitable for hunting or sports shooting purposes. These dangerous firearms are designed for the battlefield, not for communities, but have been used tragically to target women, students and worshippers because they are efficient in maximizing fatalities. Today’s initiative is the first step in a broader firearms strategy that will address illegal activities, violence, and self-harm.

Our government is also committed to protecting public safety, while ensuring hunters, farmers, and law-abiding recreational firearms owners are also treated respectfully and fairly.”

David Lametti, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, asserted: “Weapons designed for the battlefield have no place on our streets or in our communities. Canadians gave us a clear mandate to ban these dangerous weapons. That is exactly what we are doing with the targeted measures

* In Canada, there are currently over 100,000 restricted firearms among the models that are now prohibited. This number does not include other newly-prohibited models that were not subject to registration requirements. * An individual should not deliver a firearm to a police station without first making arrangements with a police officer for a safe and scheduled delivery or pick up. Individuals should not surrender their firearm while physical distancing requirements are in effect during the COVID-19 pandemic. * Firearms owners must keep their firearms securely stored in accordance with the storage requirements until more information on the buy-back program is available. * A Criminal Code amnesty is in place until April 30, 2022, to protect lawful owners from criminal liability and to enable them to comply with the law. Under the amnesty, the newly prohibited firearms can only be transferred or transported within Canada for specific purposes. * Unless you are an Indigenous person exercising treaty rights to hunt or a sustenance hunter, you can only transfer or transport in accordance with the amnesty, such as to: - have them deactivated by an approved business - return them to a lawful owner’s residence - export them lawfully - surrender them to police without compensation

B.C. extends state of emergency to May 12 THE provincial state of emergency is being extended for the third time, to support the extraordinary measures taken by the Province under the Emergency Program Act to keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“British Columbians have shown great leadership in our efforts to flatten the curve, but we can’t take our foot off the gas now,” said Premier John Horgan on Wednesday. “As we look toward the future and our ‘new normal,’ we must remember what got us to this point and continue to stay the course now to keep our communities and our loved ones safe.”

Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has officially extended the state of emergency through the end of the day on May 12.

“I want to relay our government’s gratitude to the large majority of people who are doing their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 in B.C.,” Farnworth said. “By extending the state of emergency, we will continue to take action to keep our communities safe through this challenging time, and make sure we stay on the right path in the weeks and months ahead.”

During the last two weeks of the provincial state of emergency, government has taken action to support British Columbians by: * working with the cities of Vancouver and Victoria to transition people living in encampments in Oppenheimer Park, Topaz Park and on Pandora Avenue into safe, temporary accommodations with wraparound supports to protect their health and safety in

John Horgan the overlapping COVID-19 and overdose crises; * developing a new collaborative framework that will help ensure people living in rural, remote and Indigenous communities in B.C. have access to critical health care they can count on to meet their unique needs during the COVID-19 pandemic; * partnering with the federal government on the federalprovincial Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance Program, which will reduce monthly rent for thousands of small businesses in British Columbia; * giving police and other enforcement officers the ability to issue $2,000 violation tickets for price gouging and the reselling of medical supplies and other essential goods during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; * distributing up to $35.6 million over three months through Community Living BC to ensure people with developmental disabilities stay supported and safe during the pandemic; and * providing enhanced relief for businesses by reducing most commercial property tax bills by an average of 25%, along with new measures to support local governments facing temporary revenue shortfalls as a

result of COVID-19.

These actions are part of government’s COVID-19 Action Plan, which includes $5 billion in income supports, tax relief and direct funding to support people, businesses and services.

The extension of the provincial state of emergency is based on recommendations from B.C.’s health and emergency management officials. Farnworth made the original declaration on March 18, after Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer, declared a public health emergency the previous day.

The Province has created 1 888 COVID-19 (1 888 268-4319) to connect British Columbians needing non-medical information about COVID-19. This includes the latest information on travel recommendations and physical distancing, as well as access to support and resources from the provincial and federal governments. The call line is available seven days a week, from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Pacific time), in 110 languages. People with questions related to their health and COVID-19 should call 811.

Over 1,500 unauthorized COVID-19 test kits seized from Richmond resident THE COVID-19 Fraud Response Team of the BC RCMP, in partnership with Health Canada, acted on a tip from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre that unauthorized COVID-19 test kits were being sold online to unsuspecting British Columbians.

Health Canada inspectors, assisted by members of the RCMP, seized more than 1,500 unauthorized kits from a Richmond resident, who had acquired and sold them without authorization.

Only diagnostic tests authorized by Health Canada can be imported or sold in Canada. Authorized COVID-19 tests provide accurate and reliable results, whereas unauthorized tests may lead to potential misdiagnosis.

Selling or advertising health products that make false or misleading claims to prevent, diagnose, treat or cure COVID-19 is illegal in Canada. Health Canada takes this matter very seriously and is taking action to stop this activity, according to a press release by the BC RCMP.

Health Canada continues to monitor websites for false and misleading claims, working with online retailers to ensure

that unauthorized products and products making unauthorized claims are removed from their websites.

Canadians who have purchased unauthorized health products should stop using them immediately and consult a health care professional if they have used any of these products and have health concerns.

Health Canada encourages anyone who has information on the potential noncompliant sale or advertising of a health product claiming to treat, diagnose, prevent or cure COVID-19, to report it using the online complaint form.

The BC RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime Financial Integrity Program created the COVID-19 Fraud Response Team to deal with various scams that are coming out during the pandemic, via detection, prevention, coordination and enforcement strategies. This operation was a success because of the involvement of officers at the Richmond RCMP Detachment, as well as expertise from Health

Canada.

No charges were laid by the BC RCMP as a result of the seizure.

The types of scams can be infinite and change daily, ranging from unauthorized sale of unapproved medical devices to online phishing regarding fake COVID-19 testing, Revenue Canada and Health Authorities communications, government grants such as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), and many more. “Canadians are reminded to be extra careful during the pandemic regarding online frauds and scams,� says Inspector Lav Mangat, Operations Officer for the BC RCMP Financial Integrity Program. “We work with many partners, such as Health Canada, to protect British Columbians. We are all in this together. Always assume any unsolicited contact is a potential scam.

Consult the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre webpage for information on the types of scams out there, how to protect yourself and report them if you become a victim.�

Sandy Sanderson arrested and charged in violent attack on woman on SkyTrain AN appeal to the public by Metro Vancouver Transit Police ed to the identity and arrest of a suspect who allegedly attacked a woman on the SkyTrain.

On April 29, Metro Vancouver Transit Police appealed to the public for help in identifying a man who had allegedly violently attacked a young woman a few days earlier.

At approximately 7:50 a.m. on Saturday, April 25, the victim boarded a SkyTrain at Waterfront Station.

She was approached by the suspect who had been staring at her.

When she asked the man if something was wrong, he started yelling

at her, “You people are why my daughter is sick.�

The man then grabbed the woman’s bag and without warning, allegedly punched the woman in the face multiple times. He then grabbed her by the hair and back of the head, violently hitting her head against the SkyTrain seating. When the SkyTrain stopped at Burrard Station, the suspect pushed the victim through the open SkyTrain doors and grabbed her cell phone.

As the victim yelled out for help, she was quickly helped by two Good Samaritans who were able to retrieve her bag from the suspect. The suspect allegedly threw

the victim’s phone against the wall, causing it to break. He remained on the train, eventually getting off at King George SkyTrain Station. Transit Police were contacted once the victim returned home.

The victim suffered a cut above her eye, a bloody nose and significant swelling to her face.

On April 29, at approximately 2:30 p.m., the Vancouver Police Department responded to an unrelated call in the area of Trout Lake Park.

The complainant believed the suspect to be the man seen in media reports as the alleged suspect in-

volved in the SkyTrain attack. The Vancouver Police Department transferred the suspect into Transit Police custody. The suspect, a 51-year-old Vancouver man of no fixed address, is known to police.

Sandy Sanderson appeared in Vancouver Provincial Court on Thursday morning and was formally charged with assault causing bodily harm and mischief.

Metro Vancouver Transit Police said they sincerely want to thank the public, the media and the Vancouver Police Department for their assistance with this investigation.

Surrey teenager charged after theft at Royal Columbian Hospital ON April 14, at approximately 2:45 a.am., New Westminster Police responded to a report of a theft from Royal Columbian Hospital that occurred between 9:40 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

A female, described as being 20 to 30 years old, entered the hospital and changed into

hospital scrubs. The female entered into a staff area, allegedly broke into an on-duty nurse’s locker and stole a wallet containing cash, credit cards, and other cards. The suspect left the hospital, and allegedly used one of the stolen credit cards at a nearby business.

COVID-19: Canadians worried, anxious, bored, grateful MENTAL health has been one of the most consistent undercurrents of discussion around the impacts of this country’s COVID-19 pandemic.

To what extent have job losses, illness, uncertainty and self-isolation affected the emotional and psychological well-being of Canadians? How are they bearing up? What are they feeling?

Now, a new study from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute is able to answer those questions more fulsomely.

New data paint a picture of a nation whose optimism

and resilience has been literally depressed by the events of the last monthand-a-half.

Half of Canadians (50%) report a worsening of their mental health, with one-inten (10% overall) saying it has worsened “a lot”.

Asked to describe how they have been primarily feeling in recent weeks, Canadians are most likely to say they’re worried, (44%), anxious (41%) and bored (30%), although fully onethird (34%) also say they are “grateful”.

The combination of deteriorating mental health and

ongoing financial troubles at the household level creates a portrait of how the nation is faring through the crisis. Canadians fall into four main categories as part of the Angus Reid Institute’s COVID-19 Impact Index: those who are Managing Well mentally and financially, those who are Mentally Struggling, or Financially Struggling, and those who are Hardest Hit, feeling the effects of both factors worse than anyone else.

More Key Findings:

dents in each region of the country fall into the Hardest Hit category. Alberta has the highest number (32%) and Quebec the lowest (20%). * One-quarter (24%) of the Hardest Hit say that their relationships at home have suffered since the COVID-19 outbreak began, compared to just six per cent of those in the Managing Well group. * Regardless of where they place on the COVID-19 Impact Index, three-quarters of Canadians in each group agree that it is too soon to begin lifting restrictions on businesses and public gatherings in their province

* At least one-in-five resi-

$33,000 in stolen Canada Emergency Response Benefit and other cheques recovered in Surrey TWO individuals were arrested and $33,000 in stolen Canada Emergency Response Benefit cheques, GST cheques, income tax refunds and cheques issued by other organizations recovered by Surrey RCMP officers with the COVID-19 Compliance and Enforcement Team (CCET).

Since its launch at the end of March, the COVID-19 Compliance and Enforcement Team has

conducted more than 12,000 proactive checks of businesses, faith-based locations, event loca-

tions, recovery homes, parks and beaches in Surrey.

Inspector Wendy Mehat Photo: RCMP Members of CCET who proactively patrol Surrey to inform, educate and prevent contraventions of public health safety orders were on their patrols when they noted three suspicious vehicles associated to a residence in Cloverdale. The vehicles were allegedly displaying fake license plates and fake temporary operating permits.

On April 25, just after 9 p.m., CCET members attempted to stop one of the vehicles as it pulled into the driveway of the residence, but the vehicle drove into the backyard in an attempt to evade police. The driver of the vehicle fled on foot while a female passenger was arrested without incident upon exiting the vehicle. The driver, a man in his 30’s, was later arrested and taken into custody, after a brief foot pursuit.

Further investigation of the vehicle led to the seizure of a large quantity of stolen property from several Lower Mainland jurisdictions, including $33,000 worth of stolen Canada Emergency Response Benefit cheques, GST cheques, income tax refunds and other cheques, as well as numerous pieces of fraudulent identification.

The arrested male suspect has been remanded to custody, and the female suspect has been released with an appearance notice for a later date. Charges have not been laid; however, the investigation is ongoing with police now processing the large quantity of seized exhibits.

Surrey RCMP are working with the applicable government agencies to ensure that the impacted victims are notified, and can receive their benefits as soon as possible.

“This team was created by the Surrey RCMP in collaboration with the City of Surrey to address all aspects of public safety as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said acting Community Services Officer, Inspector Wendy Mehat. “Not only are we looking out for safety aspects like social distancing, but keeping our eyes out for criminals who would seek to take advantage of opportunities presented by the pandemic.”

per week, while trees, shrubs and flowers may be watered mornings only when using a sprinkler. An hour of rain Sav Dhaliwal or watering Photo by Sukhwant Singh Dhillon per week is all a lawn needs to remain healthy.

“Long range climate projections show that our region can expect increasingly hot and dry summers in the future,” said Sav Dhaliwal, Chair of Metro Vancouver’s Board of Directors. “Implementing good conservation habits now will help us meet the ongoing challenges of population growth and climate change, both of which put increasing pressure on our water system. We all have to do our part and conserve water whenever we can.”

Recent snowpack surveys conducted in the Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam watersheds show snowpack levels 80 to 90 per cent of the historical average for this time of year, and reservoir levels are expected to reach 100 per cent capacity by mid-May. “Although we are in relatively good shape as we head into the summer, water demand has already been slightly higher than normal so far this spring, likely due to a run of warm weather and more people spending time at home as a result of COVID-19,” said Jerry Dobrovolny, Metro Vancouver’s CAO and Commissioner. “We encourage all residents and business to respect the seasonal regulations and reduce the amount of water they use indoors and outdoors every day.”

Metro Vancouver collaboratively plans for and delivers regional drinking water services to more than 2.6 million residents and businesses using a system of watersheds, dams, treatment facilities, reservoirs, pump stations and water mains. Upgrades are constantly being made to the water system to maintain the quality and reliability of clean safe drinking water to the region.

Surrey fast-tracks roadwork; significant gains in completion timelines Some projects will be completed up to a full year ahead of schedule WITH schools closed and many residents working from home during COVID-19, the City of Surrey has strategically fast-tracked roadwork projects to take advantage of the 40% traffic volume reduction on roads.

Several projects scheduled for the summer months have been brought forward and the City has relaxed traffic restrictions on contractors by allowing full road closures on large projects, and extended work hours through typical peak times, to further increase project efficiencies.

“By taking full advantage of the reduced traffic volumes during COVID-19, we are able to fast-track a number of capital and regional projects that would have otherwise been constructed this summer through 2021,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum.

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum visits a watermain construction site at 148th Street and 104th Avenue.

struction in Summer 2020 and 2021. By facilitating the road closure, the project can accelerate and complete a full year ahead of schedule. * In March, Council approved the 160th Street widening project from 26th Avenue to 32nd Avenue, valued at $8 million, involving the widening of 160th Street from two lanes to four lanes. A road closure has been permitted along 160th Street between 26th Avenue and 32nd Avenue, resulting from the temporary closure of Sunnyside Elementary School and Southridge School. The new completion timeline will allow the road work to be substantially completed before school commences in September, and the project will complete 100 workdays (50%) ahead of schedule. * The District Energy Distribution Piping System Expansion project, approved by Council in April, along Fraser

Highway between Whalley Boulevard and King George Boulevard has been permitted to close westbound on Fraser Hwy between King George Boulevard and Whalley Boulevard.

This work will complete in July 2020, instead of September 2020 as a result of the full road closure. * In April, Council approved the 2020 School and Transit Sidewalks Package, valued at $3.2 million, which

involves the installation of sidewalks and road improvements located nearby schools. Projects surrounding schools are typically completed during school summer break, however as a result of the Surrey school closures, construction has been prioritized and is now underway.

The City is reviewing additional opportunities to accelerate roadworks in the coming weeks and months.

Surrey Archives launches COVID-19 acquisition campaign SURREY Archives is inviting community submissions to help document the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Surrey’s communities and the day-to-day lives of residents.

This acquisition campaign will capture the Surrey experience amid the evolving health crisis so that these experiences can be preserved and shared with future generations.

“We are living in an historical moment with unprecedented challenges, but also one that has shown incredible generosity and solidarity as we come together from a safe distance,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. “In the future, we will want to reflect on this time that has impacted all of us. We need photos, videos and journals to help us do that. I encourage residents to help us gather these items and take part in this initiative.”

Items that document Surrey’s communities and the everyday experiences of residents are

encouraged for donation, such as images of a family’s activities in isolation, social distancing, closed civic facilities, parks and schools, videos of salutes to healthcare and frontline workers, and written or recorded personal reflections.

Submissions can include photographs, letters, diaries, videos, audio recordings and more.

“We must capture this information while we can,” said McCallum. “Thanks to technology, this can be done with just the click of a button.”

Anyone wishing to participate in the campaign can get started by visiting surrey.ca/archives or calling 604-502-6459 to speak to an archivist. Digital materials can be uploaded through a secure link. Alternate arrangements can be made for physical submissions. All submitted records will be reviewed by Surrey Archives staff to ensure they meet the goals of the acquisition campaign and the overall collection policy.

Trucker travel enhanced with food trucks at key locations FOOD trucks are being set up at provincially owned locations throughout B.C. to support commercial truck drivers during the

COVID-19 pandemic.

The Government of B.C. is forgoing the usual restrictions and fees for food-truck

operators who want to set up on key stops for commercial truck drivers, in locations where it is safe to do so, at the currently reduced traffic volumes. Vendors are operating at rest areas, weigh scales and other commercial truck pullouts throughout the Lower Mainland and southern Interior, with more expected to be added in the coming weeks.

Current locations on provincial property with permitted food trucks, providing commercial truck drivers with more food options during their travels: * Nordel CVSE Inspection Station in Delta * Zopkios Brake Check on Highway 5, approximately 57 kilometres north of Hope * Britton Creek Rest Area on Highway 5, approximately 62 kilometres south of Merritt * Kamloops Weigh Scale in City of Kamloops – food served free of cost once per week by the Salvation Army Food truck operating times will vary at these locations. In a separate initiative, members of the BC Trucking Association have spear-

headed the Meals for Truck Drivers BC pilot, setting up food trucks at various commercial cardlocks throughout the province.

Restaurants have also reopened many locations along Canadian highways for take out and restroom use for commercial drivers.

Commercial truck drivers play an important role in maintaining the supply chain by delivering essential goods during the COVID-19 pandemic. The drivers ensure people around the province continue to have access to the items they need, including food and medicine. For these reasons, the ministry is working in collaboration with private food truck operators in order to help provide more options for truck drivers on their routes.

Along with allowing food trucks, the Province has recently completed the installation of more than 25 portable toilets at commercial pullouts and inspection stations in the province to improve travel for commercial truck drivers.

The ministry is following the advice and orders of the provincial health officer and the federal government to keep British Columbians as safe as possible and help stop the spread of COVID-19. While highways and roads remain open, the provincial health officer recommends people stay close to home and avoid any non-essential travel.

Accused killer Brandon Teixeira back in Canada BRANDON Nathan Teixeira, charged with first-degree murder in the death of 28-year-old Nicholas Khabra, has been extradited back to Canada.

On Friday, April 24, Teixeira arrived back on Canadian soil, pursuant to the extradition agreement between Canada and the United States, after being held in custody in the U.S. since December 1, 2019, following his arrest in Oroville, California. Teixeira faces several criminal charges including first-degree murder. He will make his next appearance in B.C. Provincial Court at a later date.

The extradition of Teixeira back to Canada ends a long journey for many investigators from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit – British Columbia (CFSEU-BC). The CFSEU-BC’s support of IHIT in the pursuit of Teixeira has been continuous and unwavering since he fled on September 5, 2018, said IHIT that expressed its gratitude to the CFSEU-BC and its other partners for their contributions to this investigation.

IHIT said no further information will be released as the matter is now before the court.

VCH: Have symptoms? Get tested for COVID-19 VANCOUVER Coastal Health (VCH) is expanding access to COVID-19 testing as the Province of British Columbia moves to the next phase of its COVID-19 testing strategy. Anyone in the VCH region with cold, influenza or COVID-19-like symptoms, however mild, can now be assessed for and get a COVID-19 test. Testing can be done through a primary care provider, walk-in clinic, urgent and primary care centre or community collection centre.

Symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to other respiratory illnesses including the common cold.

They include: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, painful swallowing, loss of sense of smell, headache, muscle aches, fatigue or loss of appetite.

While testing has expanded, not everyone needs a test. COVID-19 testing is not recommended for people without symptoms.

Contact your physician or nurse practitioner’s office, or a local community collection centre to arrange for a test. Phone numbers and locations of collection centre can be found by visiting: http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/testing or by calling 8-1-1.

In Vancouver, the City Centre and REACH urgent and primary care centres can provide testing as well as the St. Vincent’s drive-up location at 4875 Heather Street. On the North Shore, testing is available at the North Vancouver Urgent and Pri-

independent living facilities, and there are no longer any COVID-19 cases at this site.

While Fraser Health continues to make progress on outbreaks throughout the region, a resident has tested positive for COVID-19 at Worthington Pavilion Long Term Care. This site is located in Abbotsford and is owned by Fraser Health.

A Fraser Health SWAT team is at the site and communication with patients and families is underway.

of customers and employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualifying customers can call to book an appointment for a knowledge test at select locations beginning May 4 and at offices throughout the province by May 11. Locations offering testing can be confirmed when booking an appointment.

ICBC said scheduled appointments will allow it to provide an important service to impacted customers while ensuring its commitment to adhere to physical distancing guidelines. Enhanced physical distancing measures, such as glass dividers, have or are currently being installed for the safety of customers and staff.

Anyone with a Class 5-8 learner’s licence that expired on or after March 1 or will expire within two weeks from when they phone to book, will be eligible to book a knowledge test appointment. Translator services are currently not allowed as physical distancing guidelines cannot be maintained; however, non-commercial knowledge tests are currently translated into 11 common languages.

Customers whose Class 5-8 learner’s licence expired on or after March 17, when ICBC suspended road tests due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will not have to pay a fee for their first knowledge test. At this time, knowledge tests are not available for first-time learner applicants.

Knowledge tests by appointment will also be available for residents who are new to B.C. where there is a legislative requirement to change their licences within 90 days, and for all commercial learner class applicants, including air brakes and heavy trailer. To ensure safety and physical distancing in the offices, commercial stand-by or walk-in knowledge tests will be discontinued as of May 2 and will then be made by appointment only.

Customers will also be able to book an appointment for their Motorcycle Skills Testing (MST), which will re-commence on May 11. The MST will be available for those people who hold an existing learner’s licence or whose learner’s licence expired on or after March 1.

“We know many British Columbians are facing challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Nicolas Jimenez, President and CEO, ICBC. “By introducing knowledge tests by appointment we hope to support customers who have been negatively impacted by the pandemic while still enabling offices to conduct operations safely. We continue to adapt and respond as the pandemic continues, ensuring that the safety of our customers and staff remains the priority.”

Eligible customers should call ICBC’s driver licence contact centre at 1-800-950-1498 and leave a voicemail message requesting a knowledge test. Customers will receive a callback from an ICBC representative, who will identify available testing locations and book the appointment. All appointments will be 45 minutes per knowledge test and the number of available appointments will vary depending on location. Customers can book their motorcycle skills test online or can call 1-800-9501498.

ICBC has already implemented several other measures to help British Columbians during the pandemic, such as: * waiving the $30 cancellation fee and $18 replating fee for those customers who choose to cancel their insurance during this time. * establishing the ability to conduct a number of transactions by phone or email, such as renewing driver’s licences set to expire, and renewing insurance; and * allowing customers who pay for their insurance on a monthly basis to defer payments for up to 90 days with no penalty.

ICBC said it continues to review its operations to support the safety and well-being of its customers and employees, and will make additional changes as necessary.

DELTA Police executed a search warrant at a residence on 66A Street in Boundary Bay on April 30, in regard to an ongoing investigation.

Two people were arrested, and police anticipate they will be forwarding charges to Crown in relation to evidence found at the scene.

“There is significant speculation on social media that police were investigating a meth lab,” said Cris Leykauf, spokesperson for Delta Police, said on Thursday. “That’s not the case. There is no evidence to suggest drugs were being produced at this site.”

She said police do not believe the residence poses a risk to public safety.

The Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Services team attended for the initial execution of the search warrant, and Delta Police’s Traffic Specialty Dog Unit assisted in the search.

Police have seized evidence and at this time are still processing the scene.

Donors step up to the plate to support Surrey Schools student meal program THE Surrey Schools student meal program has received a financial boost, thanks to a recent donation of $30,000 from the Breakfast Club of Canada (BCC).

The donation from BCC is intended to support the district’s meal program operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. BCC joins other donating organizations, including the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund and the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

“On behalf of the district, I would like to thank the many donors who support our school-based meal program,” said Surrey Board of Education Chairperson Laurie Larsen. “These contributions from local businesses, community groups, non-profit organizations and individual donors help us provide nutritious meals for students who wouldn’t otherwise have access.”

While the Provincial Health Officer has suspended in-class instruction to curb the spread of COVID-19, all students who were previously receiving breakfast and lunch from their schools are able to continue to receive meals.

“We’ve adapted the program so that we can safely continue providing meals for our students during the pandemic,’ explained Larsen. “The health and safety of our staff and students is always our first priority.”

The adapted meal program is currently operating out of nine sites, with a combination of drive-through and in-person pick up. Social distancing and other infection control practices are closely followed. A bagged meal and snacks are provided to each student Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“The importance of these donations cannot be understated,” said Larsen. “Every dollar makes a difference.”

If you or your organization are interested in supporting the adapted meal program, please contact the district’s Business Development Office at 604-595-6066 or email donations@surreyschools.ca. A tax receipt will be provided for all donations of $25 or more.

Wilkinson: “As virus fight continues, clarity is key to economic recovery” B.C. Liberal Leader and Leader of the Official Opposition, Andrew Wilkinson, welcoming the news the province is close to introducing a re-opening plan, said in a statement: “The BC Liberal Official Opposition reaffirms our continued support of the provincial government’s efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus and keep British Columbians as safe as possible. We recognize the tireless efforts of Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, Minister of Health Adrian Dix, and their respective teams as we all deal with this pandemic. The health impacts of this virus have been devastating for many families, and our hearts are with all of those who have lost a loved one as a result of this pandemic.

“At the same time, as government moves toward a re-opening plan, this plan must clearly articulate a path forward that continues to address the immediate public health

Andrew Wilkinson emergency facing our province and the globe, while also taking bold action to get our economy back on track and ensure we can rebound from the economic devastation this pandemic created.

“As we take these steps to revive our economy, our essential public health efforts must continue, and, as a former medical doctor, I know that our actions must be based on the guidance of the Public Health Officer.

“This will not be easy. There are so many areas of our economy reeling from this crisis and British Columbians are unsure about their future. Whether it is our restaurant and tourism industries, where thousands of people have lost their jobs, our natural resources sector, which is the backbone of our economy and now faces unprecedented losses, or our retail businesses that have rent bills due but no source of income — the scope of this problem is immense and continues to grow.

“With B.C.’s economy and communities heavily reliant on our small businesses, it is critical that government establish clearer safety protocols for our locally-owned small businesses across the province so that they

can resume operations while protecting the health and safety of both their employees and customers.

“Keeping British Columbians safe remains our top priority, but now is the time for government to start articulating plans for economic recovery, which is critical as we navigate through this challenging time.

“The Official Opposition stands with every single British Columbian impacted by this virus. Over the coming days and weeks, we will be engaging directly with more and more British Columbians, listening to their issues and sharing their concerns with government as we have been since this crisis began.

“We will be bringing forward more ideas and suggestions on how to navigate this crisis and encouraging government to take brave and bold action on behalf of British Columbians who deserve nothing less than our very best right now.”

33 new cases of COVID-19 in B.C.; 1 more death HEALTH Minister Adrian Dix and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry on Friday announced 33 new cases of COVID-19, for a total of 2,145 cases in British Columbia.

There was one new COVID-19 related death in the Fraser Health region, for a total of 112 deaths in the province.

Every health region in British Columbia has patients with COVID-19: 823 are in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 978 are in the Fraser Health region, 121 are in the Island Health region, 174 are in the Interior Health region and 49 are in the Northern Health region.

In the last day, there have been no new long-term care or assisted-living fa-

cility outbreaks. In total, 21 facilities and three acutecare units have active outbreaks, with outbreaks now declared over at 12 care facilities.

Public health teams are also providing support to a number of community outbreaks, actively contact tracing those who may be directly affected and their close contacts.

There are 52 employees confirmed positive at Superior Poultry in Coquitlam, and 35 employees confirmed positive at United Poultry in Vancouver. Of note, the United Poultry case number has been decreased, correcting a reporting error in Thursday’s report.

There are now 133 inmates and staff confirmed

positive at the Mission Institution federal correctional centre, as well as 15 positive cases of COVID-19 connected to the Kearl Lake plant in Alberta.

To date, 1,357 people who had tested positive for COVID-19 have recovered.

Of the total COVID-19 cases, 79 individuals are hospitalized, and 24 of those are in intensive care. The remaining people with COVID-19 are recovering at home in self-isolation.

Dix and Henry pointed out: “Today is National Physicians Day, as well as the start of National Medical Laboratory Week. It is an opportunity for all of us to

recognize the dedication and contributions of our physicians, our medical laboratory professionals and all our other healthcare workers - the people whose responsibility it is to care for all of us.

“Let’s honour and protect them by doing all we can to continue to flatten the curve. When we are outside this weekend, think of them and always keep a safe physical distance from those around you. Be 100% committed to keeping our firewall strong.”

Vancouver City Council: Property tax payment deadline now September 30 VANCOUVER City Council on Tuesday night approved a delay in the 2020 payment deadline for both residential and commercial property taxes.

The new tax payment deadline is September 30, moved from July 3.

The decision follows measures announced by the Province on April 16, including a mandated delay in the penalty date for commercial tax payers to October 1, along with a reduction in school tax payments for these property owners (which includes industrial, business, recreation and non-profit properties).

Under the Vancouver Charter, Vancouver’s tax payment and penalty dates must be aligned; under the Community Charter, some municipalities may choose to maintain the existing

July payment date while extending their penalty dates.

“COVID-19 has put a lot of strain on the finances of residents and business owners as well as the City itself. That’s why I’m glad Council supported offering a delayed property tax payment deadline,” said Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart. “Combined with a business tax cut made possible by lower Provincial school taxes, these measures will help reduce financial stress while helping us maintain essential public services we all need to help propel Vancouver into recovery.”

Vancouver’s property tax statements for 2020 will be mailed out by June and taxes can be paid at any time once the statement has been received. Late payment penalties will take ef-

Kennedy Stewart fect on October 1 for any property taxes not paid by September 30.

“We hope the delay in the final payment deadline for both residential and commercial property owners will help those experiencing financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Chief Financial Officer

Patrice Impey. “However, property taxes are a major source of revenue for the City and fund the services that are important to residents and businesses, so we encourage people to pay their property taxes when they can after they receive their notices.”

Throughout the City’s response to COVID-19, it says it has been assessing the impacts on the community and on its ability to fund the much-needed services which it provides. The City is experiencing significant revenue shortfalls and additional costs related to the COVID-19 response, creating an estimated 2020 budget deficit of $60 to $190 million.

The City has already taken a series of actions towards balancing the budget in the face of these significant reductions in

revenue. These include: * issuing temporary layoff notices to 1,800 unionized staff * a mandatory furlough for all management and other nonunion staff equivalent to a 10 per cent pay reduction, no cost of living increase for 2020 and delays in merit increases * restricting new hiring * reviewing the 2019-2022 capital plan and reassessing the 2020 capital budget * reducing discretionary spending costs wherever possible * using the City’s stabilization reserve to temporarily offset a portion of the budget shortfall.

At the April 14 meeting, Council requested provincial support to provide operating grants to the City to fund public safety and essential City services in light of the significant revenue shortfall. Without financial sup-

port from other levels of government, the City may need to consider further service cuts and additional staff layoffs. City staff continue to advocate with both the Provincial and Federal governments.

The City says it entered these uncertain times in a strong financial position with healthy liquidity and reserves, strong fiscal management, and low debt burden which are reflected in the City’s AAA/Aaa credit ratings.

Ensuring the current and future well-being and prosperity of residents and businesses is a top priority. Visit the City’s COVID-19 webpage for the latest information on its actions and support available from federal, provincial and local governments, as well as other organizations.

low healthcare and homecare workers to find parking spots more easily. The City will continue to offer free parking for these essential workers through their employers.

Staff will post the updated parking information on the City’s website and social channels, and place large signs at key locations across the city.

On March 30, the City temporarily relaxed parking enforcement and asked people to pitch in by avoiding street parking if they had off-street options. The City said that unfortunately, the suspension of parking enforcement had led many people to take advantage of the availability of parking for extended periods, thereby making it unavailable for others.

The City has been ramping up parking enforcement since April 9, starting with the West End, Kitsilano and Point Grey.

Initially, the City relaxed parking enforcement as a response to diminished traffic volume and as a way to support essential workers during the health crisis. But with complaints from residents and businesses growing, the City resumed parking enforcement to normal operation levels.

Initial parking-enforcement efforts will focus on priority and problem areas such as metered-parking areas, time-limited areas and residential-permit parking zones. City staff will monitor the situation and resume enforcement of other regulations, such as rush-hour zones, when needed.

Trudeau releases joint statement by First Ministers for restarting economy â&#x20AC;&#x153;A set of shared principles to gradually restart the economy, based on science and evidence-based decision-makingâ&#x20AC;?

PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday announced that the federal, provincial, and territorial governments have come together and agreed to a set of common principles for restarting the Canadian economy, based on shared understanding and appreciation of what science and experts are telling us.

This statement identifies the criteria that need to be in place before we can go back to work and school, or see neighbours and friends.

This statement acknowledges the importance of restarting the economy through a gradual approach that protects the health of Canadians, including high-risk groups, as well as the need to ensure public health capacity for future waves of the virus, while at the same time continuing to support a range of economic sectors and Canadian workers.

The statement acknowledges that provinces and territories will take different steps at different times in order to ease restrictions, reflecting the specific circumstances in each jurisdiction. The statement identifies four main principles, including taking a science and evidence-based approach to decision-making, coordination and collaboration between all jurisdictions, continued accountability and transparency of all governments, and flexibility and proportionality as information changes over time.

This statement also identifies the criteria and measures that need to be in place in order to begin to take steps to restart the economy: * COVID-19 transmission is controlled, so new cases are contained at a level that our health care system can manage. * Sufficient public health capacity is in place to test, trace, isolate, and control the spread of the virus. * Expanded health care capacity exists to support all needs, including COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. * Supports are in place for vulnerable groups, communities, and key populations.

This includes the protection of seniors, residents of group living facilities, workers in close quarters, homeless people, and Indigenous people and those living in remote locations, health care workers and other essential workers, and inmates. * Support and monitoring of workplace protocols are in place to keep Canadians safe at their jobs, and prevent the introduction and spread of COVID-19. * Restrictions on non-essential travel is eased and managed in a coordinated manner. * Communities are supported in managing local disease activity, including in child care, schools, and public transportation, and industry and economic sectors are engaged to support the health of Canadians, reduced viral activity, and protection of the economy as it restarts.

As we continue to work collaboratively to get things back to normal, our top priority is keeping all Canadians safe during this challenging time.

Trudeau said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our priority is keeping all Canadians safe, while getting back to normal

as much as we can. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why First Ministers have worked on a set of shared principles to gradually restart the economy, based on science and evidence-based decisionmaking. Together, we will continue to work collaboratively to keep Canadians safe and healthy, and protect our economy.â&#x20AC;?

Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our response to this pandemic has been a true Team Canada effort. All orders of government have been working closely together to keep Canadians safe. Restarting Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic engine will require a coordinated approach, given different parts of the country are at different points in the fight against COVID-19. We will not squander the gains we have fought for, and sacrificed so much for. We must base our decisions on science and we must put the safety of Canadians first.â&#x20AC;?

BC entrepreneurs less pessimistic in April THE monthly Business Barometer index for British Columbia rose 8.2 points reaching an index of 46, according to the latest survey results from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). The low index continues to reflect the significant stress and challenges entrepreneurs face as the navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. As British ColumbIa looks ahead in developing an economic relaunch strategy, a small business lens is necessary to streamline the transition.

“The month’s barometer results indicate small business owners are feeling less pessimistic than they did in March,” said Muriel Protzer, Senior Policy Analyst, BC and the North, on Wednesday.

“While ongoing financial support from government is helping keep many businesses afloat, those receiving the benefits cannot rely on them indefinitely and some continue to fall through the cracks.”

Additional survey data from CFIB finds that 83 per cent of businesses believe it is critical they make more sales soon to survive and become less reliant on government subsides (13 per cent disagree, 4 per cent unsure).

“The province of BC will play an integral part in transitioning businesses and workers off of government support programs as we look to reopen parts of the economy,” added Protzer. “Early preparation for a recovery phase is important to ensure businesses and residents are provided clear messaging on guidelines.”

Furthermore, 75 per cent of BC businesses are confident they could reopen quickly if current restrictions were lifted (19 per cent disagree, 6 per cent unsure). As the province looks to develop its economic recovery strategy, small business owners see the following initiatives to take priority: * Keeping taxes on small businesses at an acceptable level (88 per cent agree); * Reduce red tape affecting businesses (65 per cent agree); * Introducing campaigns encouraging consumers to shop at local businesses (62 per cent agree); * Continued financial help (57 per cent agree); and * Ensuring the availability of personal protective equipment and mass testing to help people feel safe (54 per cent agree).

Measured on a scale between 0 and 100, an index level above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. An index level of between 65 and 75 means that the economy is growing at its potential. This month, it is notable to see no provincial index above 50 points.

To view the full report, visit http://www. cfib.ca/barometer The provincial numbers for April were: Quebec (32.1), Newfoundland (32.1), New Brunswick (39.2), PEI (43.1), Manitoba (45.0), Nova Scotia (45.3), BC (46.0), Alberta (46.7), Saskatchewan (50.8), Ontario (52.6).

Assessed value of Lower Mainland homes to drop in 2020: BC Assessment

The government agency that assesses the value of B.C. homes says many Lower Mainland owners can expect a lower valuation next year.

BC Assessment previewed 2020 home value assessments Monday, and said Lower Mainland single-family home values could fall by five to 15 per cent next year, depending on location.

Condos and townhouses in the region could see a drop of zero to 15 per cent, according to the agency.

On Vancouver Island, the situation is less clear.

Detached home values could drop as much as 10 per cent or climb by as much as 15 per cent, said BC Assessment.

Condos and townhouses could swing by a drop of five per cent to an increase of 15 per cent.

In the Thompson Okanagan, BC Assessment says detached home values could drop by five per cent or climb by as much as 10 per cent. Condos and townhomes could drop by as much as 10 per cent or climb by as much as 15 per cent, it said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Changes in property assessments really depend on where you live,â&#x20AC;? said assessor Tina Ireland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, assessed values of homes in many areas of Metro Vancouver will see a softening in value, while other markets and areas of the province will see minimal change and even modest increases over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values.â&#x20AC;?

Ireland said commercial properties around B.C. continue to trend upward in value, though increases have â&#x20AC;&#x153;sta-

bilizedâ&#x20AC;? in the Lower Mainland.

According to the agency, values in Vancouver and the inner suburbs including the North Shore, Richmond, Burnaby and Tri-Cities will see the biggest dip.

It said detached homes are slated to drop 10 to 15 per cent in value, while condos and townhomes would drop by zero to 15 per cent.

BC Assessment values, which are calculated based on assessments taken July 1 every year, are used to determine property taxes.

The province will finalize and release assessments on Jan. 2. Residential and commercial property owners can expect a property assessment notice in the mail next month.

Bollywood icon Irrfan Khan dies at 53

BOLLYWOOD star Irrfan Khan, known internationally for his roles in “Life Of Pi” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” died Wednesday, his representatives confirmed. He was 53.

“It’s saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away,” read a statement from Khan’s PR agency, Hardly Anonymous Communications. “Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him.”

Khan, one of India’s best-known and most beloved actors, revealed in March 2018 that he had been diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine tumor -- an abnormal growth that begin in the body’s specialized neuroendocrine cells, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Earlier this week, Khan was admitted to the ICU in Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital due to a colon infection, according to his PR agency.

Khan’s mother died last week, but Khan was unable to attend her last rites owing to India’s ongoing nationwide coronavirus lockdown restricting citizens’ movements, the agency said.

He leaves behind a wife and two children.

Born in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, Khan attended the National School of Drama in New Delhi and started his acting career soon after.

After playing mainly supporting and character roles for more than a decade, he broke into leading roles in the early 2000s, starring in and winning his first award for the 2004 film “Haasil.”

He quickly gained national recognition in the following years, with roles in other award-nominated and winning films like “Life In A...

Metro” and “The Lunchbox.”

He rose to international fame

TEL: 604-502-6100

when he played a police inspector in “Slumdog Millionaire,” which won eight Academy Awards and seven BAFTA Awards.

He then took on a bigger starring role in “Life of Pi,” which also won multiple Golden Globes and Academy Awards, and played supporting roles in major US films like “The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Jurassic World” and “Inferno.”

“Irrfan Khan’s demise is a loss to the world of cinema and theatre,” tweeted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “He will be remembered for his versatile performances across different mediums. My thoughts are with his family, friends and admirers.”

“The charisma you brought to everything you did was pure magic,” tweeted Indian actor and model Priyanka Chopra Jones.

Amitabh Bachchan, another Bollywood icon, said in a tweet that Khan’s death created “a huge vacuum.”

“An incredible talent, a gracious colleague, a prolific contributor to the World of Cinema .. left us too soon,” Bachchan tweeted.

Rishi Kapoor dies at 67 VETERAN actor Rishi Kapoor is no more.

His family announced in a statement on Thursday: “Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45am IST in hospital today after a twoyear battle with leukemia. The doctors and medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last.

“He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him.

“He was grateful for the love of his fans that poured in from the world over. In his passing, they would all understand that he would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears.

“In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and wellwishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in force.

He would not have it any other way.”

Rishi Kapoor belonged to the illustrious Kapoor family of Bollywood, widely known as first family of Hindi films.

Son of late iconic actorfilmmaker Raj Kapoor, his uncles Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor were stars, too, as have been his brothers Randhir and Rajeev Kapoor in

their time.

Rishi Kapoor is survived by wife, actress Neetu Kapoor, daughter Riddhima and son Ranbir.

His death was first announced by colleague and Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan on Thursday morning.

“T 3517 - He’s GONE .. ! Rishi Kapoor .. gone .. just passed away .. I am destroyed!,” Amitabh tweeted on Thursday,” tweeted Big B. Rishi was hospitalised on Wednesday morning after complaining that he was not feeling well.

According to reports, the 67-year-old actor was admitted to Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai. Wife Neetu Kapoor was at his side.

The hospitalisation had been confirmed by Rishi’s elder brother, actor Randhir Kapoor.

In 2018, Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, following which the actor was in New York for nearly a year to undergo treatment. He returned to India in September 2019 after recovering.

India’s Home Ministry extends lockdown till May 17, lists relaxations for less-affected areas New Delhi (IANS): Citing “significant gains” of the ongoing restriction across the country, the Union Home Ministry on Friday extended the countrywide lockdown for a further period of two weeks with effect from May 4 to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.

The third phase of the lockdown will continue till May 17, and was announced ahead of the lockdown 2.0 ending on May 3.

The government took the decision after a comprehensive review, and in view of the

lockdown measures having led to significant gains in the COVID-19 situation in the country, it said.

In an order issued by the Ministry under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, it is mentioned that the lockdown is being extended for a “further period of two weeks beyond May 4”.

The MHA also issued new guidelines to regulate different activities in this period, based on the risk profiling of the districts of

the country into red (hotspot), orange, and green zones.

The guidelines have permitted considerable relaxation in the districts falling in the green and orange zones. “No other activity is permitted within the Containment Zones.”

Under the new guidelines, a limited number of activities will remain prohibited throughout the country, irrespective of the zone.

These include travel by air, rail, metro and inter-state movement by road, running of schools, colleges, and other educational and training or coaching institutions, hospitality services, including hotels and restaurants, places of large public gatherings, such as cinema halls, malls, gymnasiums, sports complexes etc, social, political, cultural and other kinds of gatherings, and, gatherings at religious places/places of worship for public.

However, movement of persons by air, rail and road is allowed for select purposes, and for purposes as permitted by the MHA. The new guidelines also prescribe certain measures for well-being and safety of persons.

Movement of individuals, for all non-essential activities, shall remain strictly prohibited between 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Local authorities shall issue orders under appropriate provisions of law, such as prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC [Criminal Penal Code], for this purpose, and ensure strict compliance.

In all zones, persons above 65 years of age, persons with co-morbidities, pregnant women, and children below the age of 10 years, shall stay at home, except for meeting essential requirements and for health purposes.

Out-Patient Departments (OPDs) and Medical clinics shall be permitted to operate in all three zones, with social distancing norms and other safety precautions, but these will not be permitted within the containment zones.

State and UT governments are mandated to strictly enforce the lockdown guidelines and they shall not dilute these issued under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, in any manner.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 24 declared a 21-day countrywide lockdown for the first time to break the chain of transmis-

sion of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The restriction was extended on April 14 for another 17 days.

The criteria for identification of districts as red, green and orange zones have been spelt out in detail in the letter dated April 30, issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).

Explaining these zones, the Ministry said the green zones will be districts with either zero confirmed cases till date or no confirmed case in the last 21 days. The classification of districts as red zones will take into account the total number of active cases, doubling rate of confirmed cases, extent of testing and surveillance feedback from the districts.

Those districts, which are neither defined as red nor green, shall be classified as orange zones.

The classification of districts into red, green and orange zones will be shared by MoHFW with the states and Union Territories (UTs) on a weekly basis, or earlier, as required, the Ministry said. While states and UTs can include additional districts as red and orange zones, they may not lower the classification of a district included by MoHFW in the list of red or orange zones.

Noting that number of districts of the country have, within their boundaries, one or more Municipal Corporations, the Ministry said it has been observed that due to higher population density within these civic bodies, and consequent greater inter-mixing of people, the incidence of Covid-19 within the boundary of the the civic body is higher than in the rest of the district.

In the new guidelines, therefore, it has been provided that such districts will be classified into two zones -- one for the area under the boundary of the municipal bodies and another for the area falling outside their boundary.

If the area outside the boundary of the civic body has reported no case for the last 21 days, it will be allowed to be classified as one stage lower than the overall classification of the district as either red or orange.

Hence, this area will be classified as orange, in case the district is overall red; or as green, in case the district is overall orange.

COVID-19: Recovery rate rises to 25%, says government INDIA reported 1,823 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, taking the total number of cases to 33,610 on Thursday with 8,373 recoveries. An additional 71 deaths have now taken the total number of fatalities to 1,074.

The deaths since Wednesday include 32 from Maharashtra, 16 from Gujarat, 11 from Madhya Pradesh and three from Uttar Pradesh, the Union Health Ministry said.

According to Ministry data, the highest number of confirmed cases in the country are from Maharashtra at 9,915, followed by Gujarat at 4,082, Delhi at 3,439, Madhya Pradesh at 2,660, Rajasthan at 2,438, Uttar Pradesh at 2,203 and Tamil Nadu at 2,162. The number has gone up to 1,403 in Andhra Pradesh and 1,012

in Telangana.

The country is currently recording a total recovery rate of 25.19% up from 13% about two weeks ago, the Ministry said.

Giving details on the percentage of deaths in various age groups, the Ministry said India has a case fatality rate of 3.2% currently which is 65% male and 35% female. The death rate is less than 14% in persons under 45, 34.8% in the 45-60 age group. Co-morbidities were found in 78% of COVID-19 fatalities, Joint Secretary in the Health Ministry Luv Agarwal said at the daily press briefing.

He added that case fatality for those over 60 years is 51.2% which includes 42% for those between 60-75 years. For those above 75 years the rate is 9.2%.

The Ministry added that analysis of doubling rate across the country has revealed that the national average is 11 days presently as compared to 3.4 days before lockdown.

States/UTs having doubling rate between 11 and 20 days include Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, J&K, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Punjab. Those having doubling rate between 20 days to 40 days are Karnataka, Ladakh, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Kerala.

Assam, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Himachal Pradesh have a doubling rate of more than 40 days, as per data released by the Health Ministry.

Data from State Health Departments reported a nationwide death toll of 1,150 with 34,789 overall and 24,647 active cases.

Rs 65,000 crore needed to feed the poor: Rajan to Rahul New Delhi (IANS): Former Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan in a video talk with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, streamed by the party, said that country needs Rs 65,000 crore [1 crore = 10 million] to feed the poor.

Rajan said, “Rs 65,000 crore is needed to feed the poor and India can afford it as the GDP is Rs 200 lakh crore [1 lakh = 100,000],” adding that “Social harmony is a public good; we cannot afford to have our houses divided at the time when challenges are big”.

He said that there should be efforts to give money to the poor through various schemes including old age pension.

Rajan said that India needs to be cleverer in lifting the lockdown as it has limited capacity to feed the poor.

“There are ways country can take advantage but I think there will be no positive impact of this situation as there may be rethinking in global economy.”

“There will be strategic change but these types of pandemic have rarely any positive

Rahul Gandhi and Raghuram Rajan. effects in general,” said Rajan.

When Gandhi asked the former RBI Governor about the testing capacity for coronavirus, Rajan said India needs at least 500,000 tests per day.

The Congress leader also exchanged views about the authoritarian way the situation in the country is being handled, as more centralisation is happening contrary to liberalisation and decentralisation.Gandhi asserted that while southern states are doing better in strengthening the panchayati raj system, northern states are more for centralisation of power.

The Ministry said no health facility should prescribe additional COVID-19 testing for non-COVID patients, causing unwanted delay in treatment for critical patients, and that testing should be as per the protocol issued by the Health Ministry.

“States are advised to ensure that all health facilities, especially in the private sector, remain functional and provide critical services so that such patients who need these critical services do not face any difficulty. States are also informed that it is noticed that many hospitals in the private sector are hesitant to provide critical services like dialysis, blood transfusion, chemotherapy and institutional deliveries to their regular patients, which is not acceptable,” said Agar-

wal.

He added that according to the Ministry’s guidelines, all health services are to remain functional during the lockdown period. “States/UTs are also advised quick resolution of grievances on denial of critical services especially on account of insistence on testing.

Measures should be taken in consultation with healthcare fraternity so that their uncertainty is reduced, and clinics and hospitals remain functional. The movement of service providers may be facilitated, especially for those working in the private sector.”

Replying to a question on the Ministry’s recommendation to end the lockdown, Mr. Agarwal said: “We have to ensure that physical distancing becomes a norm so that

the chain of transmission is broken; equally important are containment measures for the disease.”

The Ministry reiterated that as of now there is no confirmed treatment protocol for COVID-19 and that remdesivir is one protocol which is being examined.

“There is no conclusive study to prove its effectiveness and we are waiting for larger evidence to take meaningful action. We have, however, issued a detailed advisory on the use of hydroxychloroquine as prophylaxis 19 and availability of HCQ is being ensured,” Agarwal said.

The Ministry added that it has written to State health departments to ensure adequate availability of blood transfusion services.

Never complained against India; I am a patriot: Delhi Minority Commission Chief New Delhi (IANS): A day after Delhi Minority Commission (DMC) Chairman Zafarul Islam Khan warned the “Hindutva bigots” of an “avalanche” over their “hate campaigns, lynchings and riots”, Khan called himself a patriot to the core who always defended India abroad.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, he also said that he has not complained against his country to any foreign government or organisation, nor does he intend to do so in the future.

In a long social media post on Tuesday, Khan had warned the “Hindutva bigots”, saying: “Mind you, bigots, Indian Muslims have opted until now not to complain to the Arab and Muslim world about the hate campaigns and lynchings and riots. The day they are pushed to do that, bigots will face an avalanche.”

He also said that the “bigots forgot that Indian Muslims enjoy huge goodwill in the eyes of the Arab and Muslim world for their services over centuries to Islamic causes, excellence in Islamic and Arabic scholarship, cultural and civilizational gifts to world heritage.”

On Wednesday, he said that nothing more should be added to his post.

“This tweet is in the background of how the is-

sues of Muslims have been dealt with in our country, be it lynching, riots, media bashing or redressal of their problems in political and administrative processes,” he said.

Khan said that while he never complained about India to any other country, he was vocal about the problems in the country.

“I have not complained against my country to any foreign government or organisation nor I intend to do so in the future. I am a patriot to the core and I have always defended my country abroad.

However, at the same time, I have always been vocal about the problems in our country like any other country, but I also believe that we and our political, constitutional and judicial system are capable of tackling them,” he said.

Khan also said that he always defended India in the Arabic media.

“According to my knowledge, Indian Muslims have never complained against their country to outside powers. I, like other Indian Muslims, believe in rule of law, the Indian Constitution and the fine institutions our country has,” he said.

The DMC chairperson also said that he was never a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is in power in Delhi.

Zoom aims to grow as an Indian company, plans to hire more staff New Delhi (IANS): In an era of video meet apps, Zoom which saw its popularity skyrocket as the world observed social distancing. is proactively identifying, addressing and enhancing the security and privacy capabilities of its platform, aiming to allay privacy and security fears in some quarters of the government and general public in India.

For the unified communication platform that has clocked 300 million daily users globally, India is an important market and the company has longterm plans for the country.

“Zoom wants to grow as an Indian company.

We have global customers, India companies, government and individuals as part of our user base here. We also have employees and two data centres – one in Mumbai and other in Hyderabad,” Sameer Raje, India Head, Zoom Video Communications, told IANS in an interview.

“We have plans to grow our employee count in India and set up the right team who can cater to the market in the country,” he said.

The company has already been working with various branches of the government in India –

policies.

“In fact, we have announced the availability of Zoom 5.0, a key milestone in our 90-day plan to enhance our platform. By adding support for ‘AES 256-bit GCM’ encryption, we are providing increased protection for meeting data and resistance against tampering,” said Raje.

Threatening tech giants like Microsoft Teams and Google Meets, Zoom app has apparently become a most sought after video meet tool among people during the lockdown and is being used by schools and several private players.

Alarmed at its growing popularity, Facebook (with Messenger Rooms) and instant messaging app Telegram have announced to enter the video conference calling market, which has exploded during the lockdowns.

‘AES-256 GCM’ encryption which Zoom is working on is one of the most secure encryption standards being used today.

Zoom does plan to offer end-to-end encryption for its meetings at some point in the future and the company provided an update on this during the April 15 weekly webinar.

“Given how quickly our platform is adapting each day to better address all of these new users, we don’t want to speculate too much on what the future holds,” Raja said.

“For now, we’re focused on helping as many people and businesses as we can stay connected e whether hospitals, schools, financial institutions, governments or users looking to stay in touch with colleagues, friends and family.”

On April 12, the Cyber Coordination Centre (CCC) of the Ministry of Home Affairs warned in an advisory that the “secure use of Zoom meeting platform is for private individuals and not for use of government offices or official purposes”.

The government said that CERT-In (the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) had been informed on February 6 and March 30 this year, clarifying that “Zoom is not a safe platform”.

The Zoom India executive emphasized that the video conferencing app takes user security extremely seriously.

“A large number of global institutions ranging from the world’s largest financial services companies, telecommunications providers, nongovernmental organisations and government agencies, have done exhaustive security reviews of our user, network and data centre layers and continue to use Zoom for most or all of their unified communications needs,” Raje told IANS.

Manmohan to assist Punjab to revive post-COVID-19 state economy Chandigarh (IANS): Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will assist the Congress government in Punjab to revive its economy once the COVID-19 crisis ends.

“I had written to Dr Manmohan Singh ji to guide us along with a group of experts headed by Montek Singh Ahluwalia. I am grateful to him for accepting,” Chief Minister Amarinder Singh tweeted on Monday.

“We have been working hard to steer Punjab on the path of economic growth and postCovid-19 we will again focus on the same,” he added.

The state on April 24 constituted a group of experts, headed by noted economist and former deputy chairman of the erstwhile Planning Commission, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, to come out with the post- COVID-19 revival strategy for the

state economy.

The group, which includes

leading economy and industry experts, will recommend to the state government a short-term

(one year) as well as mediumterm action plan, including a fiscal management strategy, along with other policy measures to revive Punjab’s economy.

The 20-member group has been mandated to submit its initial recommendations by July 31, followed by two more reports by September 30 and December 31, according to an official spokesperson.

The three-month gap between the first two reports will allow the group time to recalibrate the larger impact as COVID-19 unfolds across India over the summer, said the spokesperson.

The group has been entrusted with the task of identifying the key actions that are needed to help Punjab get to its “new normal” growth rate and restore it to a pre-eminent position.

Punjab sees 105 more COVID-19 cases in highest single-day spike Chandigarh (IANS): Punjab on Thursday saw 105 new cases of COVID-19, the highest single-day spike, with 87 of them those who returned to the state either after a 1,750-km journey from the Sikh shrine in Maharashtra’s Nanded or Rajasthan’s Kota this week.

With the surfacing of the new cases, the total number of

those infected with the virus rose to 480. The state, currently, has 356 active patients.

The fresh cases include 28 from Amritsar, 21 from Ludhiana and 11 from Mohali.

A day earlier, Punjab recorded 35 COVID-19 cases and a majority of them were pilgrims and students.

As per official figures, nearly 3,500 pilgrims were expected

to arrive from Takht Sri Hazur Sahib in Nanded where they were stranded due to the lockdown. A majority of them have reached Punjab in batches in government-arranged buses.

Likewise, 1,400 labourers and nearly 3,000 students who were studying in coaching institutes of Kota returned to the state, a government official

told IANS. The Health Department has decided to quarantine all returnees from outside the state for 21 days.

After non-resident Indians (NRIs), foreign travellers and Tablighi Jamaat attendees, it’s now the pilgrims returning from the Takht Sri Hazur Sahib and the students that are posing a serious challenge to the

state administration, said an official.

“Our medical system is in place to screen all those who are returning to the state after remaining stranded at various destinations across the country since the lockdown (March 24),” Special Chief Secretary K.B.S. Sidhu, who is in-charge of monitoring statewide coronavirus cases, told

the media.

Earlier, Sidhu said, in the case of Tablighi Jamaat attendees, there was problem of tracing their whereabouts.

“Now we have contact details of all people who are returning to the state along with their travel history. It is our duty to give them the best of the treatment on return,” he added.

Amarinder Singh urges Modi to arrange special trains for migrants’ return He also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to arrange point-to-point special trains for their transport. During a virtual meeting with officials, the Chief Minister said he had written to the Prime Minister about their transport.

The Chief Minister said one offi-

said. The movement of such a large number of people would be possible only through trains, with proper screening at the time of departure.

On concern over shortage of food packets in some districts in view of the extended lockdown, the Chief Minister asked the Food Department to increase the ration quota to be distributed to migrants and non-smartcard holders. “Nobody should remain hungry,” he said. In his letter to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister said given the large number of workers stranded due to the lockdown, use of buses for transportation would not work.

“Estimates indicate that nearly one million workers will need transport to return to their states,” he said and added, the

only feasible option in this case was to arrange “special trains, which the Railways may run from point to point, keeping in view the number of persons to be transported to a given destination.”

Noting that since many other states might also be facing a similar situation, the Chief Minister sought the Prime Minister’s intervention, urging him to advise the Ministry of Railways to make special arrangements to ensure safe return of migrant workers.

The Ministry of Home Affairs had, on Wednesday, allowed inter-state movement of migrant workers, while stating “buses shall be used for transport of a group of persons, of course, after proper sanitization and maintaining social dis-

He said stranded workers were engaged in agriculture as well as industries. “But most of them either lost their jobs or could not find employment or work due to curfew imposed in the state to contain coronavirus,” he wrote.

Though his government had tried its best to take care of the stranded migrants, who were needed for the state’s industries and agriculture, by providing food, shelter and other basic amenities, most of them, unfortunately, still wished to return to their native places, he said.

The Chief Minister expressed the hope that the Prime Minister would appreciate the situation and advice the Ministry of Railways accordingly.

Punjab extends curfew by two weeks after May 3 Chandigarh (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday announced extension of curfew in the state by two weeks after May 3, while unveiling steps for limited lifting of the lockdown restrictions from Thursday in the non-containment and non-red zones with strict adherence to COVID-19 safety protocols.

Based on the report of the expert committee set up to formulate the state’s exit strategy, and the inputs received from various sections of society, the Chief Minister said it was necessary to continue with the lockdown restrictions for some more time.

The curfew or lockdown in the state will now remain in force in Punjab will May 17, though limited easing of restrictions will be in place from Thursday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. every day.

The containment and red

zones will, however, continue to remain under total and strict lockdown.

In an address to the people of the state, the Chief Minister said the situation will be reviewed after two weeks and further relaxations will be announced thereafter if the pandemic remains in control.

As per the limited relief announced by the Chief Minister, certain shops will be allowed to remain open in certain areas by rotation, for four hours every morning, with 50 per cent staff strength.

The Deputy Commissioner (DCs) have been directed to work out the rotational schedule for the shops that are allowed to be opened in line with the Chief Minister’s directives, which have come four days after the new guidelines issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs came into effect.

The curfew will remain in

place after 11 a.m., as usual, said the Chief Minister, appealing to people to be back in their homes by that time, and continue to maintain social distancing.

All those stepping out during the relaxation period would have to wear masks and maintain a two metres distance from others, he said, adding the relief has been provided only for the convenience of the people and should not be used for interactions with friends, etc.

“If the situation improves after two weeks, we can take more steps,” said Amarinder Singh.

The limited relaxations announced by the Chief Minister from Thursday include permission for opening of all registered shops, except those in multi-brand and single-brand malls, with 50 per cent strength of workers from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

In urban areas, all stand-alone shops, neighbourhood shops and shops in residential complexes are allowed to open during this period, as per the new directives, which make it clear, however, that establishments dealing in services like saloons, barber shops, etc., would continue to remain closed.

Further, e-commerce companies will continue to be permitted to deal in essential goods only during this period.

Expressing his government’s keenness to open up the industry, the Chief Minister urged all those who could accommodate the workers or had workers staying in the vicinity to start opening up in order to help revive the state’s battered economy.

Referring to the large number of Punjabis stranded in other states due to the lockdown,

COVID-19: Punjab Police officer’s son to get compassionate job Chandigarh (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has approved the appointment of the younger son of Assistant Commissioner of Police Anil Kohli, who died of COVID-19, as a police sub-inspector once he graduates.

During his videoconference meeting with 687 frontline field officers and

personnel on Wednesday, Director General of Police Dinkar Gupta said the conditional offer of appointment of Kohli’s son Paras has been accepted.

The Chief Minister has been supportive of the health and welfare of the police personnel working on the corona frontline, said the DGP, adding the

state government and Punjab Police remained committed to their welfare.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Kohli, who was posted in Ludhiana city, succumbed to COVID-19 on April 18.

The 52-year-old officer had tested positive on April 13.

Punjab allows construction in rural, with rider in urban areas Chandigarh (IANS): The Punjab government, here on Wednesday, removed all curbs on construction activities, residential as well as commercial, in rural areas. In urban areas, however, only on-going projects can be taken up, subject to availability of workers at site.

The instructions had been issued by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Satish Chandra to ensure industrial activities, permitted by the central government, in the state, said an official spokesperson.

The district authorities have been asked to call meeting of industrial associations and persuade them to restart operations in the permitted areas.

The Industry Department has been asked to implement the standard operating procedure (SOP) in line with the guidelines of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs as per clause 15, which allowed industries in special economic zones and exportoriented units, industrial estates, industrial townships and industries in rural areas to

operate.

The SOP requires the company management to provide special transportation of workers, in-house facility for labour, medical insurance, tie-up with hospitals and arrangements for disinfecting the premises, thermal screening of employees and hand washing.

The spokesperson said the Union Home Secretary on April 3 said no fresh licence or statutory approval was required for resumption of permitted activities.

the Chief Minister said it was his government’s duty to bring them back but they would have to be quarantined for 21 days.

The state had made arrangements for their quarantine in all district, he said, adding the problem had aggravated in Punjab due to the large number of NRIs who came home, followed by the attendees of the Nizamuddin event.

The state, he said, could not afford to let those coming from outside again let things spiral out of control. The quarantine for those coming home from other states was essential for the protection of the people, he said.

Earlier, the Chief Minister said the relief announced was for the benefit of the people who had been under severe curfew restrictions for the past 38 days.

Describing it as a difficult time

for the people, who had sacrificed a lot for themselves, their families and the state at large, Amarinder Singh said it had been necessary to control the pandemic, which had so far infected 330 people in the state.

While various experts were coming out with different opinions, there seemed to be an indication that the COVID-19 crisis could continue till JulyAugust, or even September, said Amarinder Singh, terming it a long-drawn battle.

Pointing out that no country had escaped COVID-19, he observed the disease had claimed lots of lives across the world, with nearly 50,000 people dying in the US, which had reported one million cases so far.

He cited the examples of the UK, Germany and Canada to underscore the need for continued caution.

Self-help groups in Punjab weave 400,000 masks Chandigarh (IANS): Nearly 400,000 face masks have been produced and delivered by women members of self-help groups in Punjab under the Rural Development’s National Rural Livelihood Mission, a minister said on Wednesday.

The self-help groups in villages have emerged as COVID-19 warriors in a big way. Besides making masks, they are producing aprons and gloves for the civil administration, police and for the Panchayats, Rural Development and Panchayat Minister Tript Rajinder Bajwa said.

According to him, 3,711

members of the self-help groups from 22 districts are engaged in producing them. They have received a new order for making 50,000 masks.

Bajwa said besides them, doctors and pharmacists of the Rural Development Department are performing frontline duties to save the lives. They are performing duties at isolation centres, flu corners and rapid response teams, besides doing emergency duties.

The minister appreciated the efforts of self-help groups for helping the government in the crisis.

Another pandemic we don’t understand

THERE are a lot of things we know about pandemics. We know that the COVID-19 pandemic is the result of widespread viral infection caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Last week, this column lamented the lifestyle-caused diseases of obesity and Type 2 diabetes and lamented the lack of concerted societal action on the pandemic proportions of these stealthy but determined killers. But there is yet another pandemic, the still-too-frequently hushed-up problem of poor mental health, sometimes resulting in its most devasting form, suicide.

The fact is, for more than 100 years, there has been little progress in understanding the factors that result in a state of dismal mental health – the state that must be the precursor to suicide.

Medicine has made tremendous progress in diagnosing, treating and saving lives from multiple diseases. Advancing knowledge allowed for the development of vaccines, medical imaging, antibiotics, and antiviral drugs that drastically changed the course of human health. Organ transplants, stem-cell research, and immunotherapy have given new hope and extended lives to millions in recent years.

But our understanding of the brain and mind is slower in coming.

The World Health Organization estimates that 800,000 die of suicide each year. That’s one person every 40 seconds. For each person who dies by suicide, there may be about twenty others who attempt it. But like the obesity and

diabetes pandemics, we haven’t shut down the economy. We haven’t held daily press conferences. We barely acknowledge it at all.

Yet, these statistics indicate that suicide is a bigger killer than COVID-19. And a recent article in JAMA Psychiatry cautions that the prevalence of suicide may worsen because of COVID-19.

A major concern is the extended requirement for social distancing. Researchers have documented the association between social isolation and suicidal thoughts and behaviours. But the list of other related factors is long and familiar to those living in the time of COVID-19 – economic stress, childcare pressures, limited access to community and religious support, barriers to mental health treatment, and the compounding effect of other existing health problems.

Sadly, firearm sales have spike in both the U.S. and Canada since the start of the COVID-19 crisis. Guns are the most common method of suicide. Researchers have demonstrated an association between suicide rates and access to a gun.

For some individuals, particularly seniors, and paradoxically, for some health care workers, suicidal feeling may emerge from a concern for family members or a desire to avoid adding burden.

But there is some good news to report. Neuroscientists and other experts in mental health are starting to open new avenues for understanding the biological factors that determine brain and mind health. One such area is the connection between brain and gut. Millions of nerves and neurons send signals from the gut to the brain as part of our “microbiome”. Treating the ailments in our heads may be a matter of better minding our bodies.

But you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to make one of the most effective interventions in preventing suicide. All you have to do is reach out. Take the time to think about someone you know who may be feeling isolated. Make a phone call. Drop them a line. Send a gift. They call it the “pulling-together effect”, when people come together in a shared experience, offering

mutual support and encouragement.

If you yourself are having suicidal feelings, you must reach out too. In Canada, call Crisis Services Canada (1-833-456-4566) or text 45645.

Delhi-Katra expressway will pass via Amritsar, says Harsimrat Chandigarh (IANS): Union Food Processing Industries Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Wednesday said one section of the 658-km Delhi-Katra expressway would pass through Amritsar after being split into two at Kartarpur even as the other section would go through Gurdaspur to Katra.

She said she has been informed by the Amritsar Vikas Manch and other social organisations that the expressway was not going to pass through Amritsar and had herself got alarmed.

“I took up the matter with Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and he informed me that there was no cause of worry for people of Amritsar and that the expressway would not only pass through the holy city but also the Raja Sansi International Airport,” she said in a statement here.

She said the expressway would split into two from Kartarpur.

One section going to Amritsar would use the existing highway for 50 km which would be developed as an access controlled expressway with service roads on both sides even as a new 30 km stretch would be constructed to take the expressway to the Raja Sansi airport.

She said the second section would be a new 65-km stretch which would take the expressway from Kartarpur to Gurdaspur and from there it would join National Highway 44 for the next 180 km stretch to Katra.

Harsimrat said as per the information sent to her, the expressway took off from Jassur Kheri in Haryana and passed through Ghana-Kalayat in Haryana to enter Punjab near Patran.

She said from there the expressway would pass through Bhawanigarh and Nakodar to Kartarpur and then be bifurcated in two -- with one section passing through Amritsar and the other through Gurdaspur.

The Union minister said the total length of the expressway would be 658 km and it would be constructed at a cost of Rs 30,000 crore [Rs 300,000 million].

She said the first phase of the project was proposed to be awarded in this fiscal year.

The New Porsche 718 Spyder and 718 Cayman GT4 TORONTO: The Porsche family welcomes new members: with the new 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4, two particularly emotional and powerful top models to claim top spot in the model range. Their pure character will appeal to sports car enthusiasts who delight in unadulterated driving pleasure and appreciate a high level of agility. The perfectly balanced mid-engine concept offers all this. For the first time, the duo share a technical base. This includes the newly developed fourlitre six-cylinder naturally

aspirated engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The boxer engine generates 414 hp in both models. While the GT4 represents the entry-level GT road model from Porsche, the Spyder lends itself to all kinds of curves. At the heart of both models is the new four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine.

The naturally aspirated engine is based on the same engine family as the turbo engines in the current 911 Carrera model series. The new high-revving engine generates 414 hp – 29 hp more than in the GT4 pre-

decessor models. The third generation of the Spyder even has 39 hp more. It delivers a maximum torque of 309 lb.-ft. at between 5,000 and 6,800 rpm. The manual transmission sports cars can both break the 300 km/h barrier: the 718 Spyder has a top speed of 301 km/h, while the 718 Cayman GT4 can reach 304 km/h. Both models accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds from a standing start. Among the striking features of the 718 Cayman GT4 is the comprehensively improved aerodynamics concept. It produces up to 50 percent

more downforce, without adversely affecting drag – proof of outstanding efficiency.

The aerodynamics of both models benefit enormously from the newly designed single-chamber arch rear silencer: it creates space in the rear section for a functional diffuser, which accounts for a good 30 percent of the downforce at the rear axle in the 718 Cayman GT4. The fixed rear wing is also marked by greater efficiency: it produces around 20 percent more downforce compared with its predecessor. The new 718 Spyder

is a pure machine for driving pleasure with a lightweight convertible top that can cope with top speeds.

It continues the history of such famous Roadsters as the Porsche 550 Spyder and the 718 RS 60 Spyder. Open or closed, it thrills with a captivating silhouette. The roof is suitable for everyday use and can be stowed away under the rear deck lid in just a few steps. Unlike the GT4, the 718 Spyder has

a rear spoiler that comes up automatically at 120 km/h.

Thanks to the functional diffuser, it is the first model in the Boxster family to generate aerodynamic downforce at the rear axle.

The new Porsche 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4 are available to order now. Canadian pricing starts at $110,500 for the Spyder and $113,800 for the Cayman GT4.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLS: The S-Class of SUVs Sculpted, superbly engineered and equipped, the new Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV is the largest and most luxurious SUV

from Mercedes-Benz ever. It now offers more space, comfort and luxury than ever before. The GLS comes equipped with

three fully electrically adjustable seat rows that offer ample space and comfort for all passengers. For the first time, a six-seater

variant is available with two luxury individual seats in the second seat row.

Like the model year 2020 GLE, the GLS features the latest generation of driving assistance systems from Mercedes-Benz. The new 4MATIC system ensures greater agility on the road, and strong performance off the beaten track. The new GLS also offers impressive aerodynamics in its segment, with a Cd figure of 0.35. “The new GLS is the S-Class of premium SUVs. It embodies luxury, confidence and intelligence like no other vehicle,” says Ola Källenius, the member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG responsible for corporate research and Mercedes-Benz Cars development.

The interior of the new GLS combines elegant aesthetics with luxurious, exclusive trim elements. Furnished with standard leather appointments throughout. Central to the dashboard’s design is an impressively sized screen embedded into a distinctive dashboard support. All seats are electrically adjustable as standard. The GLS also comes equipped with the EASY-ENTRY function, which makes it much easier to get in and out of the second and third row of seats.

The third row of seats are just as accommodating and comfortable as the first and second row. They are suitable for people who are up to 1.94 m tall. The third row of seating comes with its own USB charging ports, and its own climate control zone (if the GLS is equipped with five-zone automatic climate control).

Powerful six and eight-cylinder engines effortlessly deliver comfortable driving dynamics and superior power performance for the GLS. The Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC, a six-cylinder in-line engine electrified with 48-volt technology, is only available outside of the EU. It offers 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, with a further 184 lb-ft of torque and 21 hp available via EQ Boost over short periods.

All variants of the new Mercedes-Benz GLS are equipped with the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. As an option, the GLS can be equipped with the enhanced AIRMATIC air suspension system with Adaptive Damping System Plus. A new electrified V8 engine featuring EQ Boost – a 48-volt system with an integrated startergenerator (ISG) – will debut in the new GLS 580 4MATIC.

What’s the average legal fee for an ICBC claim and are there any hidden charges?

BY ANTHONY THOMAS Partner at Simpson, Thomas & Associates

IF you have been seriously injured by another driver’s negligence, you will undoubtedly have questions about how you will be compensated by ICBC for the injuries caused by the car accident.

An experienced lawyer will ensure that your damages are properly assessed and that you are fully compensated for your injuries. But that raises a related question: how much does it cost to have a personal injury lawyer represent you? Let’s discuss the average legal fee for an ICBC claim and the potential for hidden charges in your claim against ICBC. Average Legal Fee for an ICBC Claim BC lawyers can provide legal services under a few different types of fee arrangements, for example, a flat fee or an hourly rate for the number of hours worked. However, most personal injury lawyers who handle ICBC claims do so under a “contingency fee agreement.” This means that the lawyer’s fees are based on a percentage of the settlement received or judgment ordered. It also means that if there is no award the lawyer cannot charge legal fees. Under BC law, the maximum contingency fee that a lawyer can charge is 33.3% for a personal injury claim or a wrongful death claim arising from a car accident. ICBC lawyers in BC set their firm’s contingency fee percentage in light of that maximum limit. The average legal fee is in the range of 25% to 33.3% regardless of the severity of injuries.

Legal Fees for an ICBC Claim at Simpson, Thomas & Associates Legal fees at our personal injury law firm are among the lowest charged in BC. Our legal fees are only 20% for catastrophic injury claims (this includes severe brain injury, paraplegia, and quadriplegia) and only 24% on all other types of claims. Some BC law firms use a sliding scale, taking a gradually higher percentage of your damage award at each stage of your claim. Our fee percentages apply no matter what stage your ICBC claim is resolved, and include going to trial if necessary, which means that the car accident lawyers at Simpson, Thomas & Associates are committed from the outset to doing what it takes to secure top compensation in your claim against ICBC. We do not charge a legal fee or disbursements if your case is unsuccessful.

Discuss Fees with Your Lawyer Upfront The contingency fee agreement is the basis of the lawyer-client relationship. Read it carefully before you sign anything to ensure that you understand the terms respecting legal fees and other charges in relation to your personal injury claim. We offer a free initial consultation with one of our personal injury lawyers so you will have the opportunity to ask question about our contingency fee agreement.

Lawyers at Other Firms May Impose “Hidden” Charges Here are some red flags and areas where hidden or unexpected charges may arise: * As mentioned, some personal injury law firms charge a higher percentage regardless of the severity of your injuries, or use a gradually increasing (“sliding scale”) fee arrangement, taking a higher percentage if your claim settles before Examinations for Discovery, after Discoveries but before trial, etc. These arrangements could cost you a few thousand dollars in the average ICBC injury claim – if not more if you were catastrophically injured. * You should be clear on how disbursements will

be handled under the terms of the agreement. Disbursements are expenses incurred on your behalf throughout your ICBC claim, such as the cost of obtaining clinical records, filing and serving court documents, and fees for medical assessments or other expert reports. Will the law firm cover disbursements upfront so that you do not have to pay anything out of pocket until you recover damages?

Will the law firm charge you interest on the disbursements incurred on your behalf throughout the course of your ICBC claim? * You should be clear on what the contingency fee agreement says about legal fees and disbursements if you terminate the agreement prior to resolution of your ICBC claim. You may be required to pay the lawyer’s fees on an hourly basis plus disbursements if you terminate the agreement or decide to change lawyers.

Lastly, be clear on the types of compensation that will attract a legal fee. At Simpson, Thomas & Associates, we do not charge a legal fee on special damages or Part 7 benefits (unless contested by ICBC) and we do not charge a legal fee in obtaining a contribution by ICBC towards your legal fees.

Talk to an Experienced ICBC Car Accident Lawyer About Legal Fees It is highly recommended that you have a frank discussion about legal fees upfront for two reasons: first, to avoid unpleasant surprises and, second, to

gain a better understanding of the value that an experienced ICBC car accident lawyer can bring to your claim. We welcome you to contact us today at 604-689-8888 to book a free initial consultation with one of our team of top ICBC car accident lawyers.
