Christopher MacLeod opened the Coquitlam Natural Path Society, a marijuana dispensary that sells the drug to licensed users.

BC bud for sale to pain patients

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Medicinal marijuana users in the Tri-Cities will no longer have to travel to dispensaries in Vancouver to buy their bud.

C o q u i t l a m Natural Path Society opened a facility in Maillardville and has been selling marijuana to licensed users since last Wednesday.

Christopher MacLeod, the operator of the shop, said the location (931 Brunette Ave.) will make it easier for people, who often suffer from chronic pain, to access their medication.

“T he stigma is starting to dissipate,” he said. “I have been very surprised at how the local community has been.”

A Vancouver Police officer looks for evidence in the murder Monday afternoon of gangster Randynesh (Randy) Naicker of Burnaby. The convicted kidnapper was gunned down just before 5 p.m. on Queen Street, near the St. Johns Street Starbucks, by a masked man who then sped away in a dark-coloured SUV. VPD is handling the investigation.

Gunned down in Port Moody Masked gunman fired six shots at gangster Naicker

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO

Randy Naicker, who was shot to death Monday afternoon in a targeted hit on Queen Street in Port Moody, is shown here being arrested during a 2006 meeting of gangsters at Castle Fun Park in Abbotsford.

Vancouver Police have confir med the m a n g u n n e d d ow n Monday afternoon in Port Moody was 34-yearold Randynesh Raman Naicker of Burnaby.

Randy Naicker, one of the founders of the Independent Soldiers gang, was well known to police. He was convicted of kidnapping a Surrey gangster in 2005 after

two associates were murdered and $400,000 worth of marijuana went missing.

In 2006, Naicker was one of five men — including gang associates Jamie Bacon and former Port Moody resident Dennis Karbovanec — arrested at the Castle Fun Park in Abbotsford.

At the time, Naicker was on bail for the kidnapping charge and was also charged with breaching his bail conditions.

(Karbovanec is now serving a life sentence for killing three of six people in a Surrey highrise in 2007 while Bacon

POLICE & PAY Q Body found in PoCo: page A3 Q Cities pay big bucks: page A4 is in prison awaiting trial in the same case.)

Naicker was sentenced to five years in prison. At his 2009 parole hearing, Naicker said he wasn’t worried about rival gangs targeting him even though another resident of his halfway house was shot to death just a few months earlier and police believed that man was mistakenly killed

by someone looking for Naicker.

Witnesses to Monday a f t e r n o o n’s b r a z e n shooting outside the Starbucks at St. Johns and Queen streets said at least one masked man dressed in black got out of a dark green SUV and shot Naicker several times at about 4:45 p.m. see ‘THIS THIS IS IS’,, page A3

Body found but foul play not cause of death

TRACY RIDDELL PHOTOS

Vancouver Police Department took over the investigation of the murder Monday in Port Moody of Randy Naicker, who reportedly was the founder of the Independent Soldiers gang.

‘This is what he was afraid of’ continued from front page

“I was sitting here having a cup of chai when I heard a shooting sound,” said Chandermari Bhatt, the owner of Aroma Indian restaurant, located at the bottom of the Queen Street plaza.

Bhatt said he looked up towards St. Johns and saw a masked man with a handgun shoot the victim several more times before jumping back in to the SUV, which then sped west along Spring Street.

Naicker collapsed between his grey Infiniti SUV, which had the driver’s side window shot out, and another vehicle.

Bhatt said he ran up the street to the victim, who had been shot in the

GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

head. Other witnesses also attempted to provide first aid but they were unable to save him.

Maryam Heidari, who works at Aroma, said she was also sitting outside and expressed surprise at the shooting, saying she expected something like that to happen in

her native Afghanistan but not in Port Moody.

And Bhatt told The Tri-City News, “Port Moody is a very nice city but today, I am very scared.”

Several bystanders who gathered in the plaza said they couldn’t believe another shoot-

ing had happened in the quiet town.

“That’s random, is it gangs?” one young man asked. “That’s scary.”

On the evening of May 30, Gurbinder (Bin) Singh Toor, a Surrey man with links to the Dhak/Duhre gang, was shot in the parking lot

of the PoMo recreation centre as he got out of his vehicle to go to a ball hockey game. Police are looking for the driver of a black Nissan Murano SUV as a vehicle of interest in that murder.

The two deaths in less than a month are Port Moody’s first murders since 2002.

According to a source who knew Naicker, he was trying to turn his life around and extract himself from the gang lifestyle. “He was trying to keep his nose clean,” he said. “The reason why he wanted to stay clean is because he was sick of this stuff. This is what he was afraid of.”

VPD Const. Lindsey Houghton said it was too early to release any information on a possible

suspect vehicle on the latest murder.

“Investigators need to speak to every witness possible,” he said. “And because there are so many people out there who have yet to speak to investigators, the last thing we want to do is potentially plant information that may or may not be true in their heads. We need the purest version of their statement possible.”

The VPD are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the homicide unit at 604-717-2500 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. spayne@tricitynews.com – with files from Gary McKenna and Vikki Hopes

Foul play is not suspected in the death of a man whose body was found near a Port Coquitlam elementary school Monday morning.

Students at Irvine elementary in PoCo’s Oxford Heights neighbourhood made the gruesome discovery.

Coquitlam RCMP say the man was in his late 30s but his name is being withheld until they notify his family.

The major crime section, along with officers from the police do g services, general duty, school liaison and integrated forensic identification services are assisting the BC Coroners Service in the investigation.

At this point, police do not believe foul play was involved in the man’s death.

“We treat every incident involving death seriously,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “This is one of the reasons many officers from different special sections are assisting the BC Coroners Services in this investigation.

“We also have victim services... to provide counselling for those who are affected by this occurrence.” spayne@tricitynews.com

Hey, big spender: Hundreds over $100k 93 over $100k mark in Coquitlam

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of Coquitlam has 93 employees earning more than $100,000 a year, almost double the number who were over that threshold when the global recession hit in 2008.

According to the 2011 Statement of Financial Infor mation, which the city released at Monday’s council meeting, taxpayers shelled out $73 million last year in civic salaries — up $10 million from four years ago — including more than $650,000 in council remuneration and expenses.

The document shows Mayor Richard Stewart taking the highest council wage at $123,696 plus $13,364 in expenses last year. Councillors earned their base rate of $53,836 but their billings varied. For mer councillor Barrie Lynch, who was on the

Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ board, charged the city $20,776 in expenses for his 11 months last year while Coun. Linda Reimer expensed $13,564 — nearly the same as the mayor.

Newly elected councillors Craig Hodge and Terry O’Neill each billed about $600 for their month or so on council last year.

As for city staff, city manager Peter Steblin received $237,585 plus $7,239 in expenses and deputy city manager John DuMont was paid $212,440 plus $2,233 in expenses. Other top earners for 2011 were: • GM engineering, public works Bill Susak: $186,869; • GM parks, recreation, culture Lori MacKay: $186,168; • GM strategic initiatives Maurice Gravelle: $186,039; • GM planning and development Jim McIntyre: $184,840;

The disclosures came the same night the city unveiled its annual report, in which financial services manager Sheena MacLeod described last year as being one of the best on record for the municipality.

She said the city accumulated a $43 million surplus, one third of which is tucked away for emergency purposes. Still, Coquitlam carries some $30 million in debt (down $4 million from 2010) to pay for infrastructure works and other projects. MacLeod anticipated the money would be paid off in about four years. jwarren@tricitynews.com

You are invited to attend an open house to review and comment on the City of Port Moody’s plans, in partnership with the Arts Centre Society, to renovate Centennial House (formerly Appleyard House) for arts, culture and heritage uses. The Centennial House will be relocated from its present location on Clarke Street to 126 Kyle Street in early July.

This project is subject to an Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw amendment to rezone the land from (RS1) One Family Residential to (P1) Public Service. The Arts Centre Society is working with the City of Port Moody to determine appropriate arts, culture and heritage uses for the building, including artists studios, gallery space, program space, gift shop and cafe. The Arts Centre Society proposes to apply for a Heritage Canada Legacy grant for the renovation scheduled to start in April or May, 2013, providing the necessary bylaw amendments are in place. We are seeking public input on both the bylaw amendment application as well as the specific uses proposed for the building.

When: Thursday June 28, 2012 Where: Port Moody Arts Centre, 2425 St. Johns St, Port Moody Time: 6–8pm We’re holding this open house to hear your comments before the application is taken through the City’s formal development process. If you can’t make the meeting, but want more information on this proposal, please contact: Devin Jain, Manager of Cultural Services, City of Port Moody 604.469.4689 or djain@portmoody.ca.

Neighbours fearing a planned 33-storey tower will cause traffic, pollution and privacy problems were told by Coquitlam city council this week the new highrise will be an “asset” to the community.

S eve r a l re s i d e n t s from the Woodland Place development in Port Coquitlam spoke at Monday’s public hearing to complain about the residential and commercial proposal, to be built by Onni on for mer city land at the corner of Westwood Street and Lincoln Avenue.

Woodland spokesperson Kathy Yao told council the 235-unit tower will have a negative impact on bordering properties and she presented a petition from area homeowners, who Yao said are also concerned about the extra people and cars.

B u t B e a u Ja r v i s, Onni’s vice-president of development, said the company has listened to the neighbours’ concer ns and has made changes since the plans were first drafted, including adding an extra underground parkade level and moving the tower block closer to Westwood Street.

And responding to a question about the s q u e e z e o n n e a r by schools, planning GM J i m M c I n t y re s a i d city staf f met with School District 43 officials last week and they are aware of the big changes happening in the City Centre — much of it centred around the upcoming Evergreen Line.

“There’s always that tension between liveability and affordability, and the answer is high density,” Coun.

Selina Robinson said, adding Onni’s commercial space will allows people to work in the city rather than commute.

“I believe we need housing, we need density,” Coun. Neal Nicholson said. “That’s what moves us forward as a city that people want to live in.”

Added Coun. Craig H o d g e, “ W h e n i t ’s built, it will be an asset to this part of the community.”

Still, Coun. Mae Reid said she’s not happy Onni will have 57 fewer parking spots than what the current city policy calls for. She suggested the company offer reduced rates to homeowners buying one-bedroom suites who don’t have a car, a concept happening in downtown Vancouver.

21 staffers earned over $75k continued from page 4

City clerk Colleen Rohde ear ned about $139,000 while Ron Higo, director of community services, was paid about $138,500. Former city manager Gaetan Royer earned just over $126,000 before leaving in June 2011 for a job with Metro Vancouver; that paycheque was down from his full 2010 salary of nearly $162,000.

Savoie, Rockwood and Rohde were each paid extra last year — between $8,000 and $14,000 — as they took on acting city manager duties until earlier this month, when Kevin Ramsay took over the job.

In total, 21 Moody staff members earned more than $100,000 in 2011, up from 18 the previous year.

The number of employees earning more than $75,000 also went up, from 70 in 2010 to 75 last year. Of those staff members, more than half (38 in 2010 and 40 in 2011) work at the Port Moody fire department.

The cost of city council remained much the same as in 2010. Former Mayor Joe Trasolini earned just over $45,000 plus a $22,000 tax-free allowance. He also claimed about $6,000 in expenses.

Current Mayor Mike Clay ear ned almost $18,000, plus about $9,000 tax-free. He posted $920 in expenses.

Remuneration for council members was $16,355 for Bob Elliott and Ger ry Nuttall, who served all of 2011 on council; those two claimed $3,300 and $3,039 in expenses, respectively and received about $8,200 tax-free. Coun. Diana Dilworth earned slightly less — $14,600 and $7,300

tax-free — because she took time off to run as a Conservative candidate in the federal election.

Former councillors Meghan Lahti and Karen Rockwell, whose terms ended in November 2011, ear ned $15,500, with Lahti claiming $1,900 in

expenses and Rockwell $2,300. The new faces to council — Zoe Royer, Rick Glumac and Rosemary Small — were each paid $854, with a $427 tax-free allowance.

And even though the new council members were only in office

for a month last year, Royer managed to rack up just over $800 in expenses: $545 for the four-day Fresh Outlook Foundation sustainability conference in Kelowna and $265 for the newly elected officials conference.

No weekend floods but PoCo on alert

David Avenue—Noons Creek Drive to Pinetree Way – Roadway widening

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

River levels in the Tri-Cities did not rise as high as expected over the weekend but another pulse of water is expected to make its way through the Lower Mainland over the next few days.

Provincial officials have been concerned about flooding for the last week after heavy rain hit the Lower Mainland and rapid snow melt occurred in the Interior.

Gord Voncina, Port Coquitlam’s manager of operations, said so far there has been no flooding in the area and water levels have been considerably lower than anticipated. Water levels in PoCo hit 2.8 m, significantly less than the 5.5 m the dikes in the area can handle.

Currently, the Fraser River at Hope is flowing at 11,000 cu. m per second, down from the

River levels have risen in the last week but there was no flooding reported on the weekend in the Tri-Cities.

Another pulse of water is expected this week, though. peak of 11,900 measured on Friday.

“It looks like the river levels have not risen quite to what they had expected,” he said.

“That is good news.”

But the threat of flooding is still a concer n for the Lower Mainland. According to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, another pulse of water is expected to hit the

region this week. Over the next few days water from the ThompsonOkanagan area, where heavy snow melt has taken place, will make its way to the Lower Mainland.

The province said that water levels will likely peak again for the weekend, with current forecasts estimating a height of 6 m to 6.5 m at the Mission gauge. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

‘We need nose plugs’ PoCo set to sign controversial RCMP contract

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Coquitlam has signed a 20-year police ag reement — reluctantly — with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police but will explore alter native policing models that staff said might better serve the community.

Councillors took turns taking shots at the contract during Monday evening’s meeting but all voted in favour of it after the city was warned it could lose a 10% cost share with the federal government if it did not sign. The province also threatened to charge a monthly administration fee if the contract was not in place by June 30.

“To vote for this, we need nose plugs for sure,” said Coun.

Darrell Penner. “This has been an extremely difficult position that the province has put us in.”

In a report, staff said the city is concerned the agreement does not pro-

vide costcertainty a n d councillors fear the city could be on the PENNER hook for a portion of the $1-billion construction costs of the new RCMP E WRIGHT Division h e a d quarters in Surrey.

As well, the Union of B.C. Municipalities has pushed the province to negotiate a 70/30 cost sharing split between the federal government and the municipalities.

Under the new contract, Ottawa covers 10% of local policing costs while the city picks up the other 90%.

Coun. Brad West said the ag reement does not address any of the issues municipalities have about policing and its costs.

“I am deeply troubled by the process and the outcome,” West said.

“I have been thinking about the appropriate terminology to describe this. Quite frankly, the

process is BS. The outcome is poor.”

He pointed out that earlier this year the provincial government introduced the Local Government Auditor General as a way of reviewing municipal expenditures and procedures.

“Now, they are holding a gun to our head and telling us to sign one of the most fiscally irresponsible contracts that a municipality can sign.”

Council voted in favour of sending the agreement to the municipal auditor for review.

Coun. Mike Forrest echoed West’s comments. He added that the process was flawed and the city should consider looking at alternative policing arrangements.

“We are so frustrated with where we find ourselves at present,” he said. “I have no problem looking at other options.”

Under the contract, the city can opt out of the agreement with two years notice to the federal government.

But Coun. Michael Wright said while the current agreement is not ideal, it may be the

best the city can get. He agreed that the process was less than desirable but said switching to an alternative policing model could be expensive.

“I am not convinced that we can get the same quality of service by having a different model,” Wright said.

Port Coquitlam is one of the last holdouts to sign the contract.

Bur naby, Richmond and Coquitlam recently signed the agreement after B.C. Attor ney General Shirley Bond said she would not push the deadline past June 30.

We need to know

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

T

here is a ghost town feel to the Riverview grounds these days as the last few patients are transferred to new facilities in Surrey and Vancouver, and the hospital shuts its doors for good.

There is silence throughout a 244-acre property that once housed more than 4,000 patients. Except for birds chirping in the large trees and the few drivers still making the trek to the property to work at agencies still operating out of rented space, the property is almost devoid of life.

But while debate rages as to whether people get equal or better care in the community or what future is in store for the property, some more immediate issues should be dealt with by the province and its property managers, Shared Services BC. In short, the public deserves to know now what is being done to keep the buildings in good repair. Many of them appear to be in a bad state and the fear is that they could become so damaged they can never be reused.

Take a tour and you can see plants growing out of cracks, paint peeling and concrete crumbling, and except for buildings being used for the film industry, many of these aging structures could become dangerous without immediate and appropriate care. West Lawn, for example, the oldest of the three grand old ladies on the property, looks in sad shape.

A plan is needed and the public deserves to know what is being done to protect this building, at least in the short term, until more permanent decisions can be made.

Riverview Stories On Friday, The Tri-City News will publish the first instalment of a months-long series, Riverview Stories, s documenting some of the hospital’s history from the point of view of people who lived, worked and had family there.

‘Poverty’ declines in Canada & nobody notices BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ou probably didn’t hear this on TV: The percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis.

This news was delivered in the annual Income of Canadians report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5% to 9%.

The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reflects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus, they had the

Y

2012 CCNA

Montreal body parts case to update each day.)

This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale.

BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year.

“To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 [and assume there has not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what exists today] and millionaires are common.

“In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale [that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000] would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.”

Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media au-

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

thorities, such as BC Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair.

Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough.

To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said.

Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goal posts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist.

The B.C. NDP government-in-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places such as Manitoba.

There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one: For what may be the first time in history,

we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food.

People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket, too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world.

Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money but, rather, one of education and self-discipline.

There is genuine poverty in our society.

One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Year-round schooling debate: yes and no The Editor, Re. “Is year-round schooling the way to go in British Columbia?”

(Face to Face, The TriCity News, June 22).

I was glad to see you picked up on this subject for debate. I read a couple of weeks ago in The TriCity News about Bill 36 allowing school boards to choose year-round schooling. I was shocked to read the School District 43 board of education was not in favour of it. The excuses given were, in my opinion, not for the benefit of the students or their families.

Tri-City school trustees are choosing the “wait and see what everyone else does” approach while taxpayers have not been given a choice.

Clearly, the benefits to students retaining what they learned from one grade to the next with a shorter break in summer makes more

No regulatory framework, says Stewart continued from front page

The easiest way to become a member of the compassion club, MacLeod said, is to have a government-issued medical marijuana licence. But those who have a confirmation of diagnosis from their doctor listing the ailments from which they suffer will also be eligible to receive the drug.

“We tell everyone to go to their medical practitioner first,” he said.

“Some doctors are apprehensive because they are not sure of the medication itself... others are worried about the legal ramifications.”

MacLeod said he uses medical marijuana to treat symptoms of arthritis, an ailment that had him taking up to 23 aspirins per day before he switched to cannabis for pain management.

“Now, instead of bees stinging my knees it feels more like mosquitoes,” he said.

But while MacLeod describes the current regulations surrounding medicinal marijuana

dispensaries as “a bit of a grey area,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said it is more like the “wild west.”

Stewart said there does not appear to be any regulatory framework for these types of facilities.

As someone who suffers from chronic back pain, Stewart said he is sympathetic to those who use cannabis medicinally but added that the drug still appears to be against the law.

“We are in a complete vacuum of regulation,” he said. “That has to be fixed. Until it is fixed, I am going to have serious concerns.”

Coquitlam RCMP said that as long as the society has the necessary licences, it will be treated like any other business.

Cpl. Jamie Chung said the dispensary would also have to comply with Health Canada regulations and city bylaws.

“At this point, we have no indication that we should be concerned about it,” he said, “as long as they comply with all the rules and regulations.”

Fish returns a milestone for Kwikwetlem First Nation

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A $4-million habitat project for juvenile salmon has already netted results with the sighting of four species of salmon in the Wilson Farm area of Coquitlam’s Colony Farm Regional Park.

Kwikwetlem chief Ron Giesbrecht said members of his band who counted the fish along with biologists were excited by the find because it signalled the return of fish to the region after 100 years.

“They knew how much it meant to the elders,” Giesbrecht said.

On Monday, members of the Kwikwetlem, along with Ministry of Environment representatives and other groups were on hand at a milestone ceremony marking the near-completion of the Wilson Farm habitat improvement project.

The project restores tidal function to the lower reach of the Coquitlam River and is one of the largest environmental mitigation projects along the 37 km Port Mann/ Highway 1 Improvement Project route.

Environment Minister Terry Lake said it’s gratifying to see the fish return to the area after so long.

“To be able to see the fish return after 100 years is pretty special,” said Lake, who was a Coquitlam vet with family in the area before moving to Kamloops 15 years ago.

It has taken five years to complete the project at Colony Farm. The enhanced habitat is a rearing area for young fish to improve their chances of survival. During fish sampling in April 2012, Chinook, chum, Coho and pink salmon were spotted in the new channels.

The project also includes ponds and selfregulating tide gates that allow water to flow in and out of Wilson Farm to create a setting similar to those found in natural

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Chief Ron Giesbrecht and environmental advisor Craig Orr discuss the benefits of a $4 million salmon enhancement project that has already drawn juvenile salmon to the Coquitlam River. freshwater estuaries.

As well, an interpretive sign is being created along the popular walking path to explain how the new tidal gates function.

Craig Orr, a director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society and a consultant to the

Kwikwetlem, said the Wilson Farm project is unique because it provides habitat for juvenile salmon while most habitat projects are for spawning salmon.

“This project went a long ways to addressing a major limiting factor to the production of salmon

in the Coquitlam River,” Orr said. “Urbanization has claimed much of the juvenile salmon habitat in the lower Fraser River area, and this project aimed to restore a large part of that critical habitat.”

He also said the needs of birds and other wildlife were factored into the project where possible. For example, native grasses were planted that are better for local species.

Also for wildlife and fish benefit, PMH1 will replace 17 culverts along the route to remove the highway barrier, and a study will be conducted by members of the Kwikwetlem and SFU researchers to see if wildlife and fish use them. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

PoCo wants piece of casino cash THE TRI-CITY NEWS

If Port Coquitlam residents are gambling in neighbouring communities, then the city should get a piece of the casino funds collected by local government.

That was the message during Monday’s council meeting, when councillors voted unanimously in favour of a Union of B.C. Municipalities resolution lobbying the province to pool gaming revenues to distribute among all communities.

Currently, only the host municipality gets a piece of the gambling revenue, a for mula Coun. Glenn Pollock said needs to be changed.

“This is long overdue,” he said during the meeting. “I think this is a great resolution.”

According to a city staff report, the market for gaming facilities is saturated, making the associated revenues difficult to access for municipalities. It also stated that communities without gaming facilities are still subject to the social impacts associated with casinos in neighbouring cities.

PoCo’s resolution received a cool reception from Mayor Richard Stewart of Coquitlam, home to the Boulevard Casino. Last year his city collected $5.3 million in revenue from gaming money, funds Stewart said Coquitlam intends to keep.

Is

He added that the city signed an agreement with the province in the 1990s and that any changes to the funding

arrangement would be opposed by council.

“If we are going to be treated the same as everyone else, then

the casino is gone,” he said. “We can’t retroactively move the casino.

They can’t retroactively change the agreement.”

The City has received an application to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP)) relating to the property located at 1440 Dayton Street. The application proposes a redesignation of portions of the subject property from Conventional Townhomes and Environmentally Sensitive Area to Small Village Single Family, Conventional Townhomes and Environmentally Sensitive Area. If approved, the application would accommodate a future residential subdivision containing approximately five one-family residential lots located north of the on-site watercourse and one single townhome unit to be located south of the on-site watercourse.

You are now being invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application.

The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Monday, July 9, 2012. Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways:

Finding inspiration... in the soil

By Diane Strandberg

Helpers needed in the garden

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Wanted: Green thumbs who want to share their knowledge those with brown thumbs who would like to learn about gardening. Volunteers of all varieties are sought to help keep the Inspiration Garden in Coquitlam blooming this spring, summer and fall.

R

ight now, Coquitlam’s Inspiration Garden is at its most lush, thanks to the rain, and the perennial garden is buzzing with bees.

But more work is needed to ensure that vegetables planted with the help of children from Walton elementary and Hillcrest middle school reach their potential.

Garden program manager Julieanne Agnew is looking for volunteers to help with a garden that will be the source of about 600 lb. of produce for the Share food bank.

“We want to donate as much food as we can to Share,” Agnew said. “We’re hoping for a good season. We’ve got everything, beans, cucumbers, squash, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach, and Asian greens.”

This is the time of year when the garden looks its best and there are several new additions. A new green wall, put in by GSKy Plant Systems Inc., is flourishing with plants grown usually in the ground clinging to a wall. The plants include the speckled euonymus, the purple heuchera, cotoneaster and golden creeping jenny.

There are also two new plant sculptures, a ladybug and a dragonfly, that will come into full bloom later this summer.

This is the garden’s third year and Agnew said it’s starting to come into its own.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Julieanne Agnew, program leader at Coquitlam’s Inspiration Garden, works in the perennial garden at the facility in Town Centre Park.

In addition to showing how people can grow their plants using lettuce water and without pesticides, the Inspiration Garden is a demonstration garden, offering workshops for people on various topics. Registration is required and more information can be found at www.coquitlam.ca (click on Nature and Outdoors under Recreation Parks and Culture.)

The Inspiration Garden is located in Coquitlam at the corner of Pipeline Road and Guildford Way.

T

eens, school is out and you can read what you want.

Here are a few good books to get your summer started. Ask at your local public library for more suggestions.

• Ashess by Ilsa J. Bick: Alex’s brain tumour isn’t getting any better. She has left home and is taking some time to enjoy one last hiking trip in the Michigan wilderness. Suddenly, an electromagnetic pulse flashes across the sky. Billions of people and animals are killed.

Computer systems and other electronic devices are destroyed.

Somehow, Alex manages to survive. A few others do, too. Some turn into zombies. Some stay human. How can Alex tell the difference?

• Across the Universe

by Beth Revis: Amy is supposed to wake up on a new planet 300 light years away from Earth.

But 50 years ahead of schedule, she’s awake, a searing pain ripping through her body, melting gel clogging her lungs and the lid of her thawing cell clamped down. If Elder wasn’t there to help her, Amy

would have died. Amy is part the cryogenically frozen team of specialists aboard the spaceship Godspeed. Amy’s parents and the rest of the 101 frozen experts are going to make sure the human inhabitation on the new planet is successful. Amy has woken up in a disturbing society. The 2,312 working passengers are ruled

by Eldest, a tyrannical dictator. Elder, Amy’s strange new friend, is the heir. Amy needs to find out who thawed her and stop them before the rest of the cargo, especially her parents, are thawed — or killed.

• Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews: Greg S. Gaines knows high school sucks — he’s just trying to survive it. His first day of senior year is going OK. He has

school, when his mom tells him that a girl at his school, Rachel, has leukemia and he has to befriend her. This friendship thrusts Greg from the comfortable sidelines of high school

right into the spotlight and results in his worst movie ever. Greg’s hilarious take on life is brilliantly captured in this unique book. see A GIRL G BAND,, page g A18 8

A girl band Land Use Committee Notice and Garrett MEETING

continued from page A17

â&#x20AC;˘ The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour: Colby has been looking forward to graduation for a long time.

He and his best friend Bev have a plan; first, they go on tour with Bevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girl band, The Disenchantments, then they go backpacking in Europe. But when Bev ruins everything and goes to college, Colby is left driving the members of The Disenchantments up the Northwest coast while he figures out what to do with the rest of his life. This is a coming-of-age story perfect for anyone who likes music, road trips and friendship. â&#x20AC;˘ Getting over Garrett Delaney y by Abby McDonald: The minute Sadie sees Garrett, she knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one for

her. Cute, funny, smart and quirky, they are perfect for each other.

Garrett likes Sadie, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a friend. Garrett dates a string of girls while Sadie quietly sits by as his best friend.

She knows Garrett will eventually realize heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in love with her. This goes on for two years. When Garrett goes to a summer writing camp and calls her with news of another girlfriend, Sadie decides her unrequited love must come to an end. Her summer project: getting over Garrett Delaney. Her help: her co-workers at the coffee shop Totally Wired.

Sadieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartsick obsession wittily comes to life in this fun new novel.

Supporting Our Local Families STOP SUMMER LEARNING LOSS Don’t let your child fall behind this summer. The summer brain drain means that without intervention, the achievement gap between successful and struggling students widens in the summer. Students who are already struggling or have learning challenges are at the most risk. While studies have shown students lose 2.6 months of math learning, literacy is the most affected by the summer break in learning.

In contrast, if students focus on developing their skills over the summer months they can actually gain ground and feel more confident when they go back in September.

‘Kids’ inspire new play for The Odds

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

The Odds, including Port Moody native Craig Northey (second from left, and above), will perform their retrospective play at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on July 7, as part of the Coquitlam facility’s Music on the Grill summer series.

t was Hammy and the Kids that inspired Port Moody native Craig Northey to write his new show A Good Weird Story.

Northey had been working with Hammy’s star, Kevin McDonald, the founder of The Kids in the Hall, on his one-man production when Northey realized he could do the same sort of gig.

“I played with him and thought, ‘Well, I’d like to do one of these. I’ve got some things to say that would be funny,’” the frontman for The Odds said. “And then I thought, ‘Oh, no. It would be better with four.’”

The three other men Northey is referring to are his bandmates over the past 20 years or so: Doug Elliott, Pat Steward and Murray Atkinson (past Odds members are Steven Drake and Paul Brennan).

And so, with the help of another Kids’ comedian, Bruce McCullough, Northey crafted the new musical autobiography about the band, called A Good Weird Story, a twist on their most commercially successfully album, Good Weird Feeling.

The show, which will launch the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s fourth annual Music on the Grill series on July 7, is a kind of storyteller-concert retrospective with multi-media, Northey said.

“We re-enact Murray’s audition for the band and a few things like that. We talk about why we made the choices we made and it all comes through the tragedy to the blissful ending,” he said.

And, so far, the re-telling has been well received in the dozen communities it’s appeared in including on Vancouver Island, in the Okanagan and Toronto. The Coquitlam presentation will be the first for the Lower Mainland and close to Northey’s home: a place where his father, John, was once Port Moody’s mayor and his mother, Gay, is currently on the Evergreen board of directors.

Northey, who is also known for his TV and film scores, his collaborations and being in the house band for the Canucks’ playoff series, said A Good Weird Story offers an insight into the music scene a decade ago “when there was a music business.

“Things are a little different now but, back then, there was this sort of committee behaviour that happened when you were involved in big companies, and when the corporate world got involved in using rock ‘n roll to sell their products.”

“Today,” he said, “I think [musicians] take it upon themselves to get out there. It’s much more difficult and there are a lot more flukes but things are very grassroots and independent because there’s no infrastructure and no gatekeeper, in a lot of ways.”

Asked which stream he prefers, Northey responded, “I liked it when people paid for the music, when it was unethical not to pay for it. I thought that was healthy for the arts.”

• The Odds’ A Good Weird Story is on Saturday, July 7 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the barbecue (at 7 p.m.) and show are $50, or $30 for the concert only.

Blame the EP release delay on Carly Rae

New single out on Monday for band and its Coquitlam singer

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Fighting for Ithaca doesn’t have anything against Carly Rae Jepsen, the Mission singersongwriter whose single Call Me Maybe recently shot to Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In fact, the band is proud that a fellow 604 Records artist has done so well on the global

scene.

But her success has come at a price for the pop rockers who last October finished their EP at the old Mushrooms Studios in Vancouver; it has now been shelved until the production company has wrapped up its campaign with STEEKSMA Jepsen.

“You know, it’s okay,” shrugged Ithaca frontman and Coquitlam resident Curtis Steeksma. “It’s not so bad having to wait.

I mean, everyone [at the label] got pushed back for her, too.

“We have to juggle full-time jobs so this extra time has given us an opportunity to perform more and get ready for what’s coming.”

And a lot is expected for the band.

Since it signed to 604 Records last November, it has released a popular Christmas single titled d Partying With Santa, which debuted at Number 19 on iTunes.

In March, Adamm Mounstevens joined the band to replace Pat Le Breton and, last month, they shot a video for their upcom-

ing single Last Chance, which dropped on Monday. The video airs early July on MuchMusic and, mid-month, they will headline a show at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver.

All of this — they hope — will lead to the EP release this fall, to be followed with a cross-Canada tour to promote it.

Last Chance, Steeksma explained, is about being young and carefree, hanging out with friends, taking risks and exploring what’s out there. He likens the song to the band’s history, which has had its ups and downs see NEW SOUND, SOUND, page A28

Oh, Canada! It’s going to be a party Rock ‘n roll, country, folk, children’s and multicultural music will be among the genres heard at Sunday’s Canada Day party at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam.

According to a report released this week by Lori MacKay, general manager of parks, recreation and culture, “Coquitlam Celebrates Canada Day” is now the largest outdoor event held in the city, with some 40,000 revellers taking part last year.

And this year’s event promises to be bigger with 149 community groups, artists and businesses joining in on the fun.

As well, the fete is expected to generate $63,000 in revenues for

Other program highlights include: • Civic tent: 1,000 cupcake giveaway at 12:45 p.m.; • Green village: Learn how to be a friend to the environment; • Taste of Coquitlam: 16 vendors on site serving up, for example, Mexican, Thai, Italian, Russian, Korean and Persian grubs; • Cultural village: Music, dance, fashion shows, lion performances and martial arts demos by groups such as Canada Day newcomers the Tri-City Chinese

“Coquitlam Celebrates Canada Day is the primary event produced by the city of Coquitlam that reinforces the message that we are the place for events excellence that celebrates active and diverse lifestyles, with much to offer our citizens,” MacKay wrote in her report, which came before Coquitlam’s council-in-committee on Monday. jwarren@tricitynews.com

New sound for Ithaca

Free flicks at PoCo parks

over the past few years with different players, sounds and demographics.

For example, in 2009, when Fighting For Ithaca placed in the Top 20 for the Seeds contest with The Fox 99.3 radio station, its music was heavier, Steeksma said.

“We’ve definitely had some growing pains,” he reflected. “But, I think, right now we have a real solid line-up and we’re excited about the future.”

As for the band’s unusual name, it’s rooted in the past, a reference to the home of Odysseus whose delayed return to the Greek Island following the sack of Troy is part of the Odyssey narrative.

Steeksma thought up the name, convincing his bandmates that it would represent a call to action “to get home or to get back where you belong and, for us, that’s on the stage. That’s what we love to do. It’s a natural high.”

And they love to perform, having played such popular Granville Street spaces as The Roxy, Joe’s Apartment, Venue nightclub and Tom Lee Music Hall, usually catering to all-ages crowds.

To get the word out about their shows, they rely heavily on social

Hot-hitting Red to be a Royal Taylor following in big brother Brent’s footsteps A Red will become a Royal this fall.

Taylor Lawrence of the Coquitlam Reds has signed a letter of intent to play ball for and attend Douglas College this coming fall.

He follows in the footsteps of his brother, Brent Lawrence, who attended Douglas and went on to play NCAA baseball at Northern State University in

South Dakota.

Taylor Lawrence — an infielder who primarily plays third base and has a hot bat this season for the BCPBL Reds, boasting a .302 batting average — had several offers from colleges in California and Montana, before making the decision to stay close to home and to play for head coach Cavanaugh Whitely’s Royals.

Douglas is in the competitive Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges, which competes with college teams primarily

from Washington State and Oregon. He plans to eventually move on to a four-year university to play ball and pursue a business management degree.

And the Lawrence family isn’t finished.

A t h i r d b r o t h e r, Mitchell, is a pitcher/infielder for the Burnaby Minor Midget AA Bulldogs while older sister Courtney, an SFU graduate, played high level baseball and elite soccer for Coquitlam United for years and still plays for the Coquitlam Royals women’s team.

A multi-sport athlete, Taylor Lawrence has developed under the guidance of Reds manager Bill Green and his staff. Last year, the Reds awarded him the Leadership and Top Competitor Award. An honour roll student, he’s graduating from Burnaby Mountain secondary school.

His older brother also has a hot bat this year.

Playing for Northern State University, Brent Lawrence started 43 g ames, batting .308 (third on the team) in 143 at-bats.

Keel is unable compete at the British Columbia Junior Girls’ Championship at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club July 10 to 13 due to scheduling commitments associated with Team Canada. Typically, the top-3 performers from the B.C. Junior Girls’ are granted a representative position on Team BC. Keel, a 17-year-old amateur, is also expected to compete at the 2012 CN Canadian Women’s Open Aug. 20 to 26 at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam.

:

Two more reasons to be a member of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce 1. Advocacy for Business...

I received a call from a long-standing chamber member, Paul Droulis owner of Canadian Tire on Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam. He asked if we could sit down and discuss the issues facing his business and many other businesses in the Lougheed/ United Boulevard area. At the meeting with Paul and his General Manager Sean Droulis, I listened as he explained how the ongoing construction in the area, including the King Edward Overpass, the Port Mann Bridge and the Gateway project had resulted in a significant downturn in sales for his business and others also affected. I brought their concerns to Chamber Executive Director Michael Hind and the Board of Directors to discuss if we could help out in any way.

After much discussion, we concluded that a meeting would be in order and if there was enough interest from the merchants in the area we would use the Chamber as a catalyst to bring all parties together. After many calls and emails, businesses like Ikea, Canadian Tire, Great Canadian Casino, Staples, Audio Video Unlimited, Bed Bath and Beyond, Woody’s Pub, Sammy J. Peppers, Eaglequest Golf, A & W Restaurant, Canadian Superstore, Cineplex, Zone Bowling and many others were invited to a lunch that the Chamber hosted for an unofficial meet, greet and inform meeting. I’m happy to report that we have met with the merchants group a few times and are now well under way with this initiative.

The Chamber is facilitating plans for joint marketing and a rebranding of the area. We are hoping that our involvement with this process and connecting multiple merchants and businesses in the community with each other will be a start to many good

BOWLING FOR BUSINESS

things for those merchants. The continual efforts of the Chamber along with a concerted effort by merchants will make this initiative go a long way. If you’re one of the businesses in the area and would like more information or would like to be involved, please contact us at the Chamber office at 604-464-2716.

Together we can make a difference.

2. Networking and having fun...

Our annual Chamber Golf Tournament at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club was a great success again, despite the cold and rain.

Although we couldn’t control weather, the day was a great one and everyone was in good spirits. The support we received from all our sponsors like Kiewet Flatiron, Boulevard Casino, Onni Group of Companies, Thrifty Foods, Vancity, BEST WESTERN PLUS Coquitlam Inn Convention Centre, The Crest Impressions team with Tri-Cities Chamber board Pacific Dawn Asset and Property chair Davide Fantillo braved some rather damp conditions at Management Services Inc. Coquitlam Westwood Plateau to take part in the 2012 Golf Classic.

Centre, Scotiabank, Impact Canopies Canada, The Tri-City News and all our hole sponsors along with our many tournament volunteers, staff and last but not least YOU, our members made this day a highlight for all involved. We are constantly hearing that the Tri-Cities Chamber Golf Tournament is one of the best, most fun and most attended tournaments in the Lower Mainland. We were sold out 2 months in advance so if you missed out this year, make sure you book next year’s spot early.

Way to go everyone! Let’s stay connected and engaged. See you at our next event!

All the best!

Feature Memberr

Westwood Plateau When award-winning golf architect Michael Hurdzan, Golf World Magazine’s 1997 Architect of the Year, sets out to design a course he says that he wants to “create a ‘Wow’ effect for golfers.” At his Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club, named ‘Best New Course in Canada in 1996’

by SCOREGolf Magazine, Hurdzan created his patented “Wow” effect on virtually every hole.

As a result, there is no ‘signature’ hole at the spectacular layout on Eagle Mountain because each hole stands alone.

A fully public facility, Westwood Plateau offers 30 holes of outstanding golf, two distinct restaurants and a 35,000 square foot clubhouse perfect for corporate entertaining and weddings.

The Visage GPS system on each power cart takes the pressure off club selection by displaying precise yardages on easy-to-read screens. It also provides yardages to the hazards; individual tips on playing the hole; updates on your tournament and Visage can quickly relay messages in case of emergencies. In addition to the on-cart GPS, you’ll also receive, day locker, bottled water and continental breakfast included in your fees.

Other available extras include transportation via helicopter from downtown Vancouver.

5 Workplace Health Tips There are many consequences to having a sedentary desk job. These may include a decrease in overall circulation, tightening of back and neck muscles leading to stiffness and cramping, and muscle fatigue which can increase the risk of injury. All of which can affect your overall performance and how you feel during the day.

#1 Walk It Out – Try parking your car in a spot that is farther away from the door. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. This allows for more physical activity in preparation for the day. #2 Keep Moving – Use the water cooler, printer, or bathroom farthest away from your desk. Instead of phoning or emailing someone in the office, walk over to their desk to talk. #3 Utilize Lunch Breaks – Increase your heart rate by going for a brisk walk with a friend around the block. Try standing for a few extra minutes while talking to coworkers over lunch. #4 Sit Up Straight – Low back and neck pain are most commonly linked to poor posture at work. Sit all the way back in the chair with legs flexed at a 90-degree angle, so your feet are resting comfortably on the floor. Have the keyboard at a lower level that doesn’t require too much reaching. #5 Exercise Regularly – It is important to stand up and stretch your legs every 1 – 2 hours at work. Make it a habit to work out frequently and regularly outside of work. Even a 30 minute walk a few times a week has many physical benefits and reduces the risk of injury in the work place.

Following these tips and increasing physical activity at work will deliver more oxygen to the brain and muscles, reduce the risk of stress and injury, and improve the immune system and general health. Best of all, you’ll just plain feel better!

Players and sponsors were well entertained at the TriCities Chamber 2012 Golf Classic despite the damp weather. Jay Janower from Global made a fantastic MC, dolling out tons of great raffle prizes to a dinner crowd of 226 business and community members.

Testimonial Total 360 Photography I joined the Tri Cities Chamber of Commerce after starting Total 360 Photography two years ago. Coming from the corporate world with direct contact from colleagues and clients, then becoming an independent, interior, wedding, and commercial photographer meant having to seek new avenues for learning and meeting new clients. The many Chamber events allow me to easily share business practices with peers and to seek new business in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Coquitlam Celebrates Canada Day Coquitlam célèbre la fête du Canada

Let us entertain you!

Coquitlam Celebrates Canada Day will have lots of entertainment throughout the day.

There will be live music on the Coquitlam Stage and Water Stage from Noon until dusk.

Back again for the 4th year, Bobs & Lolo will be playing on the Coquitlam Stage at 2:15 p.m.

Bring your kids and sing along to these family favourite songs about caring for the environment.

Spend the afternoon at the Coquitlam Stage and you’ll get a chance to experience reggae, hip-hop, rock and gypsy music. You won’t be disappointed.

Grab your dinner and sit back on the shores of Lafarge Lake to enjoy the musical creations of Fish & Bird. A five piece indie-folk band, Fish & Bird have been nominated for Roots Group Recording of the Year at the 2012 Western Canadian Music Awards. Check out these up and coming artists on the Water Stage at 7:30 p.m.

Be sure to come back to the Water Stage at 9:00 p.m. to see the Now & Then Band. They will be playing all your favourite hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today. Keep your spot along the west bank of Lafarge Lake for the best viewing of the fireworks presented by Cressey.

Coquitlam Celebrates Canada Day Coquitlam célèbre la fête du Canada

Arts play a large part in Coquitlam’s Canada Day If you like to shop at craft markets, Evergreen Cultural Centre has organized a eclectic selection of local BC artisans selling their wares at the Artisan Village. Not only can you shop, but you can stop to have a henna tattoo or watch a glass blowing demonstration.

Get your kids involved with the arts and stop by the Arts Village to make collage buttons, try your hand at an ancient weaving technique, make a First Nation stencil or create a flip book. All activities are provided by our generous Arts and Heritage organizations.

You will find quality entertainment on five different stages throughout the day; the Children’s Stage, the Cultural Stage, the Evergreen Stage, the Water Stage and the Coquitlam Stage.

The Cultural Stage, showcasing our community’s cultural roots, has programming from around the world between Noon to 7:00 p.m.

At the Children’s Stage, the Hoop Fairy will teach you the secrets to becoming an expert hula-hoop dancer and the Dixie Stars will take you on a musical journey with their fantastic oral stories.

Take a break from the sun at the Evergreen Cultural Centre Stage. Check out “Rhythms from the Ancient World”, a dance show presenting Polynesian, Bhangra and belly dance.

See the full listing of Entertainment on Page C6-C7.

Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Message M

y name is Sally Comin and I am very proud to be President of the Golden Spike Days Festival Society this year! This is the Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36th Anniversary! I have been on the board as a Director since 2007. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to say that when I was a little girl, I attended the 1st Golden Spike Days Festival and it is one of my fondest childhood memories! Back in those days it was a weeklong event where the whole city of Port Moody joined in on the fun and the businesses along St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Street and Clarke Street decorated and dressed up in old fashioned outfits.

It is my hope to recapture some of that whimsy this year and encourage everyone to dress up! We are also planning old fashioned games for the kids and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget there will also be lots of fun races! Also, we will still have some of the more modern events that the present generation has come to expect when they attend the festival.

visitors to the park, assist the children in making hats, build wooden boats and hundreds of other jobs to ensure everyone enjoys the weekend.

Thank you so much to such a great Board of Directors, Golden Spike Days staff, volunteers, community organizations, businesses in our community, elected officials and City of Port Moody staff. It has been my pleasure to work with you all!

I just know you will enjoy the 36th Annual Golden Spike Days Festival!

There is so much fun in store!

Sally Comin, Golden Spike Days Festival President

Over these past 5 years, it has been such an eye opening experience to witness how much goes into planning our great Festival. Every year I am in awe of the dedication and determination that the Directors put in to planning, raising money through fundraisers, acquiring Sponsorship from the local community, marketing and contacting entertainers, events, vendors and partners.

The Golden Spike Days Festival is planned and hosted by a group of volunteers that make up the Port Moody Golden Spike Days Society. On average our board members work 20 hours per month preparing for this weekend.

We are thankful for the generosity of companies throughout the Tri Cities and the Lower Mainland, without your support we could not host this event. It is their corporate contributions that have allowed us to welcome you to Rocky Point Park this Canada Day weekend.

Additional sources of funds are grants that we receive from different levels of government. The City of Port Moody has been one of our largest contributors. This year we also received a grant from Canadian Heritage.

Another integral component of the festival is our volunteers. Without volunteers this festival would not occur year after year. They greet our

Golden Spike Days Festival

Port Moody Golden Spike Days 36 Years & Counting T

he Golden Spike Days Festival was first created by the Kiwanis Club of Coquitlam and Port Moody to commemorate the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway line and its arrival at the Port Moody Station. Various events have taken place in celebration of this historic moment, but it wasn’t until 1990 that the celebrations turned into the Golden Spike Days Festival that take place every July long weekend. As the original western terminus, Port Moody remains proud to celebrate the completion of the railway that unites Canada.

The picturesque background of Rocky Point Park set the stage for the large variety of entertainment.

Featured attractions include dance and musical performances, ecological boat tours, art making workshops, cheerleader dunk tank, children’s crafts, and countless other family oriented activities.

This year’s festival will play host to some of Canada’s favourite classics as well as some up-and-coming talents. the main stage will showcase performances by: Doug and the Slugs, The Washboard Union, Dalannah Gail Bowen, Kettle Valley Brakemen, Will Stroet & the Backyard Band, and Tony Prophet. Their musical talents will dazzle patrons of all ages.

Entrance to the festivals is by donation. This money will go towards the success of future festivals made possible by the unrelenting dedication of the Golden Spike Days Society.

The Golden Spike Days Society is made of tireless volunteer directors that dedicate countless hours of their time to the success of the annual family festival. Dealing with a variety of tasks ranging from finance to entertainment, the directors ensure that every aspect of the festival is run as smoothly as possible.

All of this time and energy is put forth in order to ensure that you, the public, can enjoy the best possible festival year after year. A registered non-profit society, the Golden Spike Days Society exists wholly as a result of the generous financial and in-kind sponsorship received from throughout the local community. Outside the direct contributions of local companies and businesses, this festival truly would not be possible without the undying support patrons that return year after year to join in the festivities.

For more information on the festival visit www.goldenspike.ca or contact 604-931-8852

Doug and the Slugs July 1st at 9:00pm m Unquestionably, Doug and the Sllu ugs are one of the most distinctive and entertaining Canadia ia an bands of the last 30 years. Their upbeat musical style, mu m sicianship and offbeat stage antics have made them a st staple of the Canadian music scene for decades. Formed ed d in Vancouver in the fall of 1977, the band began by promotiing ng their own shows and soon developed an avid undergrrou o nd following with their infamous ‘theme nights’. After undergoing some personnel changes in 1978 the Slugs s were the hottest attraction in the Vancouver area. Their local celebrity status was increased to national fame in November ‘79 when their single ‘Too Bad’ reached #1 in many major markets across the country. On the strength of the single, they secured a record deal with RCA and released their first album. The rest is history – The Slugs toured relentlessly and went on to produce 6 more albums (3 of them certified Gold) and proved to be a ‘national treasure’. The original slugs; John

Burton, Simon Kendall, Steve Bosley, Wally Watson and Richard Baker, are joined on stage by Ted Okos performing the bands hit songs from the ‘70s.

Legal Limit

July 2nd at 4:00pm From intimate acoustic numbers to gritty electric blues, this is THE SHOES delivers a powerful live performance that has left the band with a dedicated and growing local following.
