Harm reduction debated

Kevin MILLS

Abbotsford News

Harm reduction was scheduled to be the main topic at yesterday’s Abbotsford council meeting.

Five delegations were set to appear before the mayor and councillors to discuss the issue.

Abbotsford currently has a bylaw which prohibits needle exchanges, mobile dispensing vans, safe injection sites or

similar programs from operating in the community.

Critics have been trying to change the bylaw since it was amended in 2005.

A staff report states there is clear evidence in health care literature regarding the “effectiveness of a harm reduction approach.”

The Fraser Health Authority released a report last month noting that Abbotsford has

Comfort Class - Style Selection

a hepatitis C infection rate higher than the provincial and federal average, and high hospital admissions due to drug overdose. Abbotsford has about 500 injection drug users.

The report also contained a proposal on how the FHA could provide harm reduction services if the city agreed to change its bylaw.

Target to replace Zellers Zellers in Abbotsford will close on Feb. 11, 2013.

Shortly after, the location, at 1225 Sumas Way, will reopen as a Target.

TiffanyBourne, external communications manager for the Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; owners of Zellers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said the Abbotsford staff were notified about the closure on Thursday.

While she would not confirm how many people would be impacted by the change, Bourne did say the average Zellers has approximately 100 staff members. She also noted that staff have been given more than eight months notice of the closure and Zellers offers a career transition program to help employees find new work.

Lisa Gibson, who works for Target in public relations, stated in an email that the company is â&#x20AC;&#x153;encouraging Zellers employeesâ&#x20AC;? to visit the website to apply for jobs.

The new Abbotsford store will employ approximately 150-200 staff and hiring will begin in 2013.

“That’s a good problem to have, but at the same time it’s lousy to be turning people away who want to participate.

“It’s a matter of being judicious with how we spend our money with the anticipated numbers. . . . We’ll count on expansion again next year, and hopefully be able to accommodate even more people.”

Run for Water marathon champions included Ryan Prachnau of Abbotsford on the men’s side (2:42:41) and Rika Hatachi of Coquitlam (3:07:54) on the women’s side.

In the half-marathon, Abbotsford’s David Jackson set an event record, completing the course in 1:09:59 to eclipse Jeremiah Johnson’s 2010 mark of 1:10:12. Langley’s Kendra Braun (1:30:04) was the top female.

Yue-Ching Cheng of Port Coquitlam (34:48) and Carla Sturm of Langley (43:45) won the men’s and women’s 10 km races, respectively, while the 5 km champs were Jordan Barr (17:55) and Katia Heppell (21:14), both of Abbotsford.

For the first time, the Run for Water also included an “ultra marathon,” which saw 11 runners complete a 56-kilometre course on Discovery Trail on Saturday.

An ultra marathon is classified as any run longer than a 43-km marathon, usually anywhere from 50 km to 100 km. Worldrenowned adventure runner Ray Zahab was the leader of the group.

“You know, it is really beautiful here,” said Zahab, a native of Chelsea, Ont. “And Run for Water is bar none the best, most efficient charity group that I have ever seen in all of Canada.”

A remarkable ‘run’ Wow, Abbotsford!

You really outdid yourself on Sunday.

What an amazing turn-out for the fifth annual Run for Water – more than 4,200 participants.

That’s eight hundred more people than last year. In 2008, when the run began in Abbotsford, there were 650 runners.

Perhaps even more remarkable is that this event has such appeal to people who are not “marathoners.”

More than half of Sunday’s participants were in the five-kilometre fun run. There were families, parents with babies in strollers, school kids, and seniors.

They came out to enjoy a pleasant day, get some exercise – and help people on the other side of the world.

This year, participants raised a stunning $260,000 for the cause – to create access to clean drinking water for people in southern Ethiopia via

the HOPE International Development Agency.

According to the organization’s website, in 2012, HOPE will use its funding this year to bring clean water projects to the village of Koshale, where families get their water from a highly contaminated water source that is a three- to five-hour walk away.

Sixty per cent of the children in this community do not attend school, primarily due to poor health and the daily need to collect water. There is poor sanitation, limited knowledge of how to maintain good health and a high rate of water-borne diseases, particularly amongst the children.

HOPE aims to change all that, and more than a quarter of a million dollars raised last weekend is a major step toward that goal.

To the particpants, volunteers and organizers involved in the Run for Water – give yourself a very welldeserved pat on the back.

Prodigious production of pooches Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand One of Canada’s prominent novelists is the enigmatic Farley Mowat, and among his classic productions was Never Cry Wolf. It was a book that, in many ways, changed the way people thought about wolves, bringing an appreciation for the life and value of an iconic Canadian predator.

Mowat, however, was not only an incisive writer but he leaned heavily on humour to tell his tales. Such was the case about wolves, where he went into great detail about his role as a scatologist, a collector of droppings of which he dissected to determine what wolves ate – from mice and lemmings to caribou.

The story was fascinating, as was his description of the ‘family’ bonds wolves held within their pack hierarchy, and how they cared for their young ones.

But the story of the wolf, and its elevation from a perceived scourge to a valued

component of the environment, was but part of the memory I hold of the book.

What also remains were his humorous reflections on gathering wolf poop, and those references to canine defection were made all the more poignant when I read a week or so ago in the Vancouver Sun Stephen Hume’s column about urban dog deposits.

Unlike Mowat crawling on hands and knees across the tundra to discover a small pile of poop, Hume relied on scholarly information to describe the vast accumulations of dog deposits that hit our lawns, streets and other places your shoe might inadvertently land.

And what he discovered, and revealed in his column, was truly enlightening in its quantity.

According to Hume’s research there are something like 145,000 dogs living within Vancouver, and based on each dog’s daily production of defecate of some 340 grams, he determined the canine pets drop about 50 tonnes of doggy doo every 24 hours.

Extrapolate that to 24/7, 365 and you’re talking some 18,000 tonnes a year which is, according to Hume, more than 1.5 times the weight of the biggest ship

within B.C. Ferries’ fleet.

Hume went on to describe the quantity of excrement generated by the more than 500,000 dogs estimated to reside within Metro Vancouver, which for all intents and purposes might as well include Abbotsford, and my two dogs!

Seems that your pups and mine, and

A remarkable appreciation of an issue, that, unless discovered under foot, is too often overlooked. those of everyone else living between tide-water and here, dump some 167 tonnes of scat every 24 hours, extending to 61,000 tonnes a year, which is equal to five super-ferries the size of the Spirit of Vancouver Island. Now that is one ‘shipload’ of poop.

Farley Mowat, if there was to be book to written today about urban dogs and the effect they have on the environment,

wouldn’t have to crawl very far to find source material.

We worry out here in the valley about air quality, and the aim of Metro Vancouver to incinerate its garbage. It’s one thing to be inhaling airborne chemicals, quite another to be breathing carbonized essence of dog feces.

However, the burning of same might be a lot better than burying it, or leaving it on the lawns of parks and pathways.

Hume’s research revealed that Metro’s (and our) dogs also produce on average 100,000 litres of urine a day.

Based on the huge population growth we can expect in the Lower Mainland over the next 20 years, and its complementary expected increase in the number of dogs, we can expect our four-legged friends to be depositing something like a million tonnes of excrement during that time frame.

Thus, while Mr. Mowat helped engender an abiding interest in environmental balance, Mr. Hume has provided a remarkable appreciation of an issue that, unless discovered under foot, is too often overlooked.

A FRASER VALLEY HEARING EXCLUSIVE

Shocked at trash

My children and I participated in Community Clean-up Week this month. We were shocked by the amount of garbage we found on our beautiful country road. Even worse was that only a week later it looked just as bad again. Here are my childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts on the matter.

Bryson, 8 Community Clean-up Week is a week where we should always clean up the trash on the road. We went out with trash bags and we had gloves and we picked up the garbage alongside our street. We even found a garden hose by the side of the road. We felt sad when

CONFIDENT C

Samara, 5 I felt sad when I saw all the garbage. It is very bad to litter because you could wreck the animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; habitat. You could make an animal lost and not find its mommy again. That makes people work hard on the streets to pick it up. So please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t litter. Please never litter again.

Sherilyn Klassen

Unnecessary bylaw News columnist Mark Rushton has rightly said that the tree protection bylaw is unnecessary, and just harasses the public.

It should be abrogated.

CARE

we saw all the garbage. We only walked half a kilometre and we filled up a garbage bag. And it was a country street. It is bad to litter.

So bring your garbage home. And throw it in the trash can. Please stop littering.

Trees standing in front of the houses should be considered the property of the dwellers, and they should be free to trim, cut or uproot them.

We are all conscious of the importance

of forestation, and people seldom do something to harm it.

I support Mark in this respect.

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program.

Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store.

All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants.

“British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.”

Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria.

With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options.

With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

“

British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Michael de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” sodium requirements.

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle.

“Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.”

The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available.

“We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.”

The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure.

“I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.”

The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.

STOP GUESSING

START ASKING GE T THE FAC TS Making informed menu choices can be challenging. But with the new Informed Dining program, restaurant-goers can now get the facts when dining out. Just look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants and ask your server for nutrition information to help you make healthy choices from the menu. You can now be confident when eating at participating restaurants that you’ll have access to nutrition information before you make your menu choice. Stop guessing...and start asking!

WIN BIG! Enter now for a chance to win great prizes, including a Grand Prize worth $2,500! Other prizes include $150 prize packs to featured Informed Dining restaurants across B.C. Enter weekly for more chances to win!

The Panthers made a prophet out of Cannon – twice over.

The Abby Collegiate girls won the B.C. high school sevens title last month, and went on to complete an undefeated season by winning the 15s AA championship on Saturday at North Vancouver’s Klahanie Park.

The Panthers were clearly the class of the field – they outscored their opponents 192-3, with victories over Valleyview of Kamloops (90-0), Mission’s Heritage Park (60-0) and Brentwood College of Mill Bay (42-3).

“This is an exceptionally focused and committed and talented group of young ladies,” marveled Cannon, who coaches the team along with Stephanie Doan and Matt Myers. “We laid out a game plan to beat Brentwood, and they followed it to perfection. It was just amazing to watch.”

Abby Collegiate saved its best game of the year for the B.C. final, routing a very good Brentwood team.

Brentwood boasted more bulk on their roster, but the Panthers used their superior speed to carve them up.

Gurpreet Dhaliwal (3), Junnaya Murphy (2), Tiffany Picketts (2) and Natalie Teteris scored tries in the title game, and Picketts picked up player of the game honours. Lauren Arthur was named to the President’s 15 allstar team.

The last time the Panthers won the B.C. girls rugby crown was 1995.

“17 years later, we got the championship again,” enthused Abby Collegiate co-captain Kayla Van Veld. “We’re really thrilled with everything that happened, and so happy with what we accomplished the entire year.”

Q The Robert Bateman Timberwolves also climbed the podium at AA provincials, finishing third after beating Heritage Park 32-10 in the third-place game on Saturday.

It was an emotional day for the T-Wolves, who had suffered a bitterly disappointing Continued on A15

Bronze for Bateman From A14

double-overtime loss to Brentwood in the semifinals. Furthermore, Saturday was the birthday of Cheryl McCormack – the Grade 12 Bateman rugby player died in December after having taken the drug ecstasy.

“She was to be the co-captain of the team this year,” T-Wolves coach Jen Ross said. “So it was a game of mixed emotions for the girls – it was tough dealing with that. But they played for themselves, and they also played in memory of Cheryl.”

Madison Borrows of the T-Wolves was named to the President’s 15, while other Bateman standouts included Lauren Kerr and Kay Olsen.

Q The senior boys AAA and AA rugby provincials take over Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park fields this week, but there won’t be any local teams on the championship side of the draw.

Both of the Abbotsford teams who qualified, the Bateman T-Wolves and Yale Lions, suffered upset losses during AAA first-round play on Saturday at St. George’s School in Vancouver.

The sixth-seeded T-Wolves fell 17-15 to Handsworth of North Van, despite tries from Colton Bergman, Jorden Best and Eric Roberts.

The eighth-seeded Lions dropped a 21-19 decision to No. 9 Lord Byng of Vancouver. Thomas Choi had Yale’s lone try, while Akash Deo finished with 14 points on kicks.

Coleton Besse sparked the offence with three RBI, while Nick Sheehan scored three runs. Pitcher Jesse McGowen picked up the victory, striking out five over seven innings.

Rebels hitting their stride Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Reflecting on his first five games at the helm of the Valley Rebels, Ted Downey doesn’t mince words.

“They’ve been a team by name (in years past), but not generally, at times, on the floor,” said Downey, the new head coach of the local senior B box lacrosse squad.

“Sometimes that’s what you’ll find in older team sports.

Guys have their agendas, what they think they’re good at.

But I think that’s the coach’s job – to define roles and get guys playing in them.”

If the early returns are any indication, Downey’s message is getting through.

The Rebels dropped two of their first three games of the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association (WCSLA) campaign, but fashioned a pair of impressive victories last week.

On Thursday, the Abbotsford squad knocked off the firstplace Ladner Pioneers 13-12 in overtime on the road. Ryan Gladiak, a junior A call-up from Langley, played the hero – he scored with just over four minutes left in regulation to tie it, then potted the game-winner 27 seconds into OT. Curt Callard (three goals, one assist), Brian Poole (two goals, four assists) and Sean Kelly (two goals, two assists) also had productive performances.

The Rebels rode that momentum to a 10-8 victory over the Nanaimo Timbermen at MSA Arena on Friday, as Poole (four goals) and Geordie Wells (three goals) led the offence.

In the aftermath, Downey lauded his team’s “thoughtful play.”

“Guys are starting to control the ball a lot better than what they were earlier in the season, and just generally playing together,” he said. “It gives us a lot of momentum.

I think it just shows them what they can do when they work together like that.”

Jim Nishiyama, an erstwhile Rebels player, coached the team last year, and said it was tough to find a balance between delivering hard truths to ex-teammates while also being their friend.

With Downey, there’s no such ambiguity.

He’s a veteran WCSLA bench boss who piloted the Langley Knights to bronze at the Presidents Cup national championship tournament in

2004.

“These are 30-yearold guys who need a kick in the butt,” said Nishiyama, who is back playing with the Rebels this season.

“He (Downey) wears the suit and he’s the

boss.

“It’s been a good transition, I like it.”

Q The Rebels (3-2) are back in action on Friday, when they host the North Shore Indians (8 p.m., MSA Arena).

Clara’s wide circle of family including her surviving sibling, Beth Weick of Penticton, mourn her passing as do our immediate family and friends. We know how much we have lost. We humbly tender our thanks to the very helpful and understanding staff at Bastion Place and to doctors McCallum, Gow, Goldberg and Connor.

Cremation has taken place. The family will enjoy the company of Clara’s friends in the common room at McIntosh Grove on May 10, and in Kelowna later in August. Instead of flowers, please consider donating to either the Canadian Cancer Society or the Terry Fox Foundation. Clara survived cancer in 1996.

Rest in peace, Clara. You have done well and we are proud of you.

We love you.

I have lost my wife Clara of 63 years, and it hurts more than anything I can remember feeling. The mother of Alan (Shirley) and Bill (Patti Dibski) of Calgary, of Laura LeGood (Armin Semler) of Abbotsford and of Tom (Leslie Post) of London, Ontario, died of dementia in Salmon Arm, B.C. on May 7, 2012. Our family circle includes 10 grandchildren: Chris and Andrew; Sam and Alex; Jennifer, Joanna, Katrina and Emma; Hailey and Greg; and one great granddaughter: Hannah.

Whither I would go, Clara would go. We lived in Abbotsford, in London, in Cranbrook, and then in Dawson Creek for 14 years where Clara worked as a weather observer at the airport and became intensely interested in speed skating when our four children joined the local speed skating club. She became its coach, formed a club in Fort St. John and began rising through administrative ranks in provincial and national speed skating, serving as president of the national body from 1977 to 1981. In this capacity she represented her sport at the winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria in 1976, at Lake Placid, NY in 1980, and at world and international events in Milan, Los Angeles, Montreal and Quebec City. Clara formed clubs in Mission, Abbotsford, Matsqui, Sardis and Surrey, and in Whitehorse and Haines Junction when we lived in the Yukon. She is a member of the speed skating Hall of Fame.

OBITUARIES

Clara worked as a therapist at the Royal Jubilee hospital in Victoria, at the Tranquille sanatorium on Kamloops Lake and, later, at the prison in Abbotsford-Matsqui. Wherever we lived she raised our young family very well; they went on to live their own lives with satisfaction and honour. She was accomplished not only in her career and as a mother but as a student – she made the Dean’s list at Fraser Valley College in Abbotsford – and as a woodworker and gardener. Clara was an engaging, outgoing person who has left us with a lifetime of memories.

Jan 15, 1940 ~ May 23, 2012 Our most precious wife, mother, grandmother was taken from us suddenly with a courageous battle with cancer.

With heavy hearts we set her off for an existence free from earthly bounds of pain, anxiety and fear.

We carry her tremendous strength and warm spirit inside us always. We stand together humbled as we hand her over to the Lord, who in turn will hold her warm, give her peace and protect her always.

Sally is survived by her husband Thomas Frederick, daughters Tammy (Dennis), Penny (Rick), grandchildren Michelle (Brad), Melissa, and Tyler. Great grandchildren Lauryn, Kinley and Ava. A celebration of Life will be held at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel 11765-224th St Maple Ridge, B.C. on June 1, 2012 at 11AM.

In Loving Memory of our Mom Joan (Roth) Kern

ISAAK

May 16, 1942 ~ May, 30 2011

July 25, 1925 ~ May 25, 2012

God gave us a wonderful Mother to love a lifetime through, Our Mother encouraged us in everything we did.

Our Mother was so many people blended into one, a source of inspiration she was happy and full of fun.

Our Mother heard our every word she listened with her heart.

Her mastery of Motherhood was a very special art.

Our Mother shared and always cared she thought of others first and she loved us just like always even when we were at our worst.

Our Mother brought such happiness with the kindness that she gave and created a good example simply with the life she lived.

We only had one Mother to look up to and to praise, and no one else in all the world could every take her place.

We miss our Mom each and every day.

Trevor & Dana, Michelle & Chris, Rhonda & Mark, Bobbi

Panoramic views from Falcon Ridge

DAN PEARCE

Abbotsford News

Construction continues on a house in the Falcon Ridge community, a new development nestled on the southern slope of Sumas Mountain.

DON MCNEILL 604-855-SOLD Selling

Abbotsford homes, one garage at a time!

Residential Commercial Investment www.donmcneill.com donmcneill-kw@shaw.ca

Resting on Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford, with the best panoramic view of Mount Baker and Sumas Prairie, Falcon Ridge aspires to offer “elevated elegance.”

Abbotsford’s newest neighbourhood on 36468 Florence Drive combines a classic family home with the convenience of a nearby metropolitan area.

Remax agent, John Corrie, says the units are aimed at established home buyers.

The current development is overseen by two local companies, Odessa Builders and Windridge Properties, which are working to create “elegant homes with modern layouts” and unobstructed views of the Fraser Valley landscape.

Not far from shopping outlets, fine and casual dining restaurant options and various other recreational opportunities, Falcon Ridge remains in proximity to urban areas, without losing a rural feel.

After selling out its initial 42 units, Falcon Ridge is now entering its second phase of

development, featuring a mix of single- and multi-family homes. The four available show homes are 3,678 sq.ft and contain three to four bedrooms and a family room, with one show home displaying a legal one bedroom and den basement suite.

“All homes have double garages, are fully landscaped and air-conditioned,” adds Corrie. “Also included are appliance packages, HST, and are quality built with home warranty.”

Keeping with the custom of open spaces and views, the interior details include vaulted ceilings and oversized windows.

The main floor includes all amenities such as a stone countertop kitchen, laundry room and master suite. Bathrooms include a large tub, a separate walk-in shower and cabinets.

Ensuring “affordable luxury without compromise,” the spacious homes guarantee beautiful, open views for years to come with prices ranging from $789,900 to $799,000.

Top producing realtor M

indy McPherson is consistently on the top when it comes to buying and selling real estate in the Fraser

Valley.

Her success is simply the result of hard work, and the veteran realtor has been diligent at her job since the day she entered the industry 28 years ago. She has won awards both locally and across North America, and has been named the number one agent by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) for 25 years.

Mindy has moved and sold more listings than any other realtor in the region, earning her the President’s Award from the FVREB 25 times.

Her extensive knowledge of the market will help you find your dream home, and if you’re selling your property, Mindy has access to a multitude of resources to promote your home and give it the attention it deserves.

Mindy is a diverse realtor and a household name in Mission. She can be called upon to assist you whether you are buying or selling residential or commercial properties.

She works tirelessly at her job because she enjoys every minute of it. She prides herself in understanding what her clients need and she makes everyone who walks through her door feel like they are her first priority.

“In realty, people are buying the most expen-

sive thing in their life,” Mindy explained.

While Mindy has the talent and skills to compete in much larger markets, she chooses to build her business here because she cherishes her small town roots.

She grew up in Mission and took an interestt in real estate when she was a child. She beg gan her career as a realtor at age 25, the day she e became pregnant with her first child.

When searching for “affordable elegance,” in the Lower Mainland, Brooklyn condominiums is an ideal place to begin, Quantum Properties is advising new buyers to take advantage of the first-time new home buyers bonus. This allows a one-time payment worth up to $10,000 for B.C. residents purchasing their first home. The final date of eligibility for the bonus is March 31, 2013.

Marketing manager of Quantum Properties Lisa Lawry, urges consumers, to take advantage of this limited offer.

She says there will be no new condominium projects completed in Abbotsford until late in 2013 or early 2014 – which may be too late for buyers to qualify for the bonus program.

Brooklyn is nearing completion and will soon have 87 condos available for move-in, with prices ranging from $169,900 up to $299,900 including HST. The target market is “downsizers looking for a lock-and-go lifestyle, and firsttime home buyers,” says Lawry.

Located in the heart of Abbotsford, at 3192 Gladwin Rd., the gated community is situated only minutes from major shopping centres, restaurants, parks, and other recreational amenities.

The ever-popular Discovery Trail system that spans the community from east to west, is also accessible nearby.

The development is surrounded by a lush landscape that includes walkways, flourishing gardens and water fountains.

Inside the building, there are 12 different floor plan options, ranging from 663 sq.ft one-bedroom homes, to 1,146 sq.ft two-bedroom plus den.

No matter the layout, all homes feature nine-foot ceilings and a spacious patio area.

The main living space contains an electric fireplace bordered by designer stone and a natural wood stained mantel, as well as fabric light fixtures to illuminate the dining area.

The kitchen contains four high-quality stainless steel appliances, beautiful lighting, maple veneer cabinets, and thick granite countertops.

Currently under development, the gatedcommunity is looking towards offering 120 new lots. The plan is to release the homes in stages, with 44 lots already in discussion for the west side end of the property.

The homes will be divided into separate layouts, with a bigger estate style lot with a built in garage constructed along a ravine, and single family homes of varying sizes in the interior of the property, featuring a detached garage.

Sales manager of Blauson Homes, Donna Heath, says plans “aren’t yet official for the exact details of the building structure, and instead will be determined by how the market is doing.”

A view down the sidewalk street in the Auguston community within the Sumas Mountains.

Typically, the demographic for the new developments will maintain the same focus as the rest of Auguston, which is “a place for people of all ages to call home.”

The additions to the Auguston area will be constructed amongst a “rich array of natural settings, neighbourhood

parks and the local school,” adds Heath.

“We want to maintain the feel of a family oriented residential community.”

The presentation pavilion is open by appointment only, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 36363 Auguston Parkway South. Prices for the new development have not yet been determined.
