HUMANS OF BURNABY - Connecting the community through story-telling “When I was young, I was bullied. That experience was very traumatic and stays with me today. But that’s part of what helps me be more empathetic towards others.

“As a kid I always felt a bit different because I was usually one of the only Jewish kids in my school – I was an invisible minority. It was hard to understand this as a kid but I do now.

“The earliest memory that I have was in elementary school. I was out in the playground when all of a sudden, I found myself surrounded by a group of kids. I remember one girl in particular was making fun of me and started to physically gang up on me. That’s all that I remember about that day.

“I grew up with my maternal grandparents around and they believed strongly in giving back and the importance of community. Their legacy was instilled in me and my family. I believe my experience being bullied combined with being surrounded by family who believed so strongly in community helped shape who I am today. One of ABC Recycling’s core values is to strengthen our community. Part of my role is to ensure that we are living that value.

“Later on, I had a couple of other experiences of being bullied in elementary school. I was shy and insecure when I was young. Kids pick up on those vibes. Maybe something was going on at home for those girls; who knows – that could be why they bullied me. Everyone has a story, right? But it’s unfortunate that that’s how kids behave sometimes.

“The value of giving back and community involvement resonated with me. It has stayed with me until today and guides me in the work that I do.�

Inspired by Humans of New York, Humans of Burnaby is a collection of vignettes of the lives of people in Burnaby. By sharing the passions, joys, and challenges of different individuals, we hope to create a better understanding between citizens and form a stronger, and more compassionate community. As advocates for those living in poverty and isolation, Burnaby Community Services especially strives to amplify the voices of those who often feel 'invisible'. Everyone's story is important to us. Please contact Salena at 604-292-3903 / salena@bbyservices.ca if you would like to share yours.

Method

Preheat oven to 400F / 200C / gas 6. Put a 8 inch / 21cm diameter frying pan with an ovenproof handle (this bit is important!) on a burner over a medium heat.

Making Business Better! An update from the Burnaby Board of Trade

Burnaby Board of Trade Launches New Business Resource Guide The Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) has launched a Business Resource Guide for new businesses which curates useful tips, templates, how-to’s and walkthroughs in a single location in an effort to try and make the process of starting a new business a bit easier for Burnaby entrepreneurs. The Business Resource Guide is divided into nine sections based on the life-cycle of a new business: research, prepare, register, finance, locate, market, hire, expand and exit. Each section offers connections to unique information relevant to small business owners, from databases and statistics, to government forms and applications. “As part of our mission of ‘making business better,’ we thought it would be useful to bring together in one spot a variety of small business resources that are currently spread across several locations,” said Paul Holden, BBOT President & CEO. “This guide will continue to expand and be updated with new information and connections to helpful resources over time, and we hope it helps alleviate some of the confusion that can be experienced when starting a business.” The BBOT’s Business Resource Guide is available online at bbot.ca

WE ARE CANADA

Meet EÄłi Yoshikaw

Burnaby‌ a City of Immigrants By Gary Wilson Almost all of us are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Other than our indigenous neighbours, we came from some other place in the world. But now here we all are, some of us recently arrived and others, several generations ago. And as we live in this community, it’s essential that we have a sense of being neighbours and even friends with one another. To get there, it’s important to hear each other’s stories. That’s the intent of “We are Canada.â€? In this issue, we meet one of our neighbours ‌ in hopes of becoming friends.

While we all celebrated Terry’s incredible spirit and achievement, thousands of miles away in Tokyo, Japan, another young man heard about Terry Fox. This young fellow aspired to make a remarkable difference like Terry Fox, and to become a champion of the underdog. Eiji Yoshikawa had grown up in southern Japan playing baseball like so many youngsters in that country. When he completed high school, Eiji did as lots of his classmates, and headed off to university in Tokyo. While studying there, he became interested in boxing, and even started skipping many of his classes to train DQG ER[ LQ RQH RI WKH ORFDO J\PV 2YHU WLPH KH KRQHG KLV VNLOOV and developed into a professional boxer.

He ran a gym in the middle of Tokyo and became highly invested in supporting boxers who had no resources and no backing ‌ young men who felt like they had no hope and no future. Through the years, Eiji moved into the publishing and media industry, even creating a documentary, Rumble in the Jungle, that revealed the plight of boxers in the Philippines.
