The historical Daniel and Amelia Mowat house is reÁected in the mirror of the truck on which it will be moved to a new site facing McKay Avenue. The house, originally built in 1913, is being preserved and incorporated as a feature in a new high-rise and townhouse condo development being built on the site at Beresford and McKay. The Craftsman-style farmhouse is one of the oldest surviving houses in Burnaby’s Central Park area.

The last time the river rose Mario Bartel photo@burnabynewsleader.com

Jacqueline Pearce spent 10 years catching up with the history of the 1948 Fraser River Àood that swamped much of the Fraser Valley from Chilliwack to Mission. This week, with the river surging to its highest level in 30 years, history is catching up with her.

Pearce just released Flood Warning, a children’s chapter book about a young boy’s adventures on his family’s farm in the Fraser Valley

and his heroic effort to save their Guernsey cows when the river rose to its second highest level in recorded history. Then, the river poured through damaged dikes to cover more than 200 square kilometres, displacing 16,000 people and damaging $20 million worth (1948 dollars) of property.

Tuesday, looking out over the river, swollen by spring runoff and heavy rain and now lapping at the uppermost rocks along Burnaby’s Fraser Foreshore Park, Pearce couldn’t help

but marvel at the irony of the timing for her ninth book, and the serendipity of history.

“It looks so peaceful,” she says. “I can de¿nitely imagine the power of the water.”

That’s because in gathering material for Flood Warning, she had immersed herself in the place and time of the great Àood of ‘48.

She scrounged through archives and old news clippings. She went to Agassiz to talk to locals who went through the Àood. She toured

their farms and visited the town’s graveyard.

She even learned about the popular radio hero of the time and con¿rmed The Lone Ranger had reached young listeners in the Valley.

That particular attention to detail is a point of pride for Pearce, who’s also written ¿ctional stories about artist Emily Carr’s childhood and the internment of Japanese-Canadians on Vancouver Island during WWII. Please see RIVER PROVIDES, A3

SMALL APPLIANCES

Health Minister Mike de Jong will be among the speakers at a town hall meeting on the future of Burnaby Hospital being held Tuesday, July 3, 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The open forum is at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, 6083 McKay Ave., and hosted by the Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee.

The public is invited to attend and offer input on the hospital’s future.

Of¿cials from Fraser Health Authority will also be in attendance.

In April, de Jong announced Fraser Health and the Burnaby Hospital Foundation were starting a masterplanning process to develop a vision for the expansion, improvement and delivery of health services at the hospital.

The 12-member consultation committee, headed by BC Liberal MLAs Harry Bloy (Burnaby-Lougheed) and Richard Lee (Burnaby-North) was also formed to consult with the community on what they want to see in the hospital’s future.

The committee has also produced “My Bby H” T-shirts to promote conversation around the subject.

River provides lessons from FRONT PAGE

And while only a minute portion of her research might make it into her books, it all helps her create a context that transports her young readers back in time and right into her characters’ adventures.

“You often don’t hear about the children’s stories in historical events, you just hear about the adults,” says Pearce, a Burnaby resident for the past 15 years. “Kids empathize and imagine themselves in all kinds of different situations. They’re excited to share their own similar experiences.”

Though the current concern about the Fraser is unlikely to equal the devastation of 1948, Pearce says there are still valuable lessons for kids to learn from her book as they visit the rising river with their parents, or maybe watch news reports on television.

“They can see how people work together to overcome adversity,” says Pearce. “Kids can feel they’re not alone, that they can help in big situations even in a little way.”

Still a long way to labour peace: Hayes New deal expires June 2013 Tom Fletcher Black Press

Burnaby school board chair Larry Hayes saw the announcement of a tentative deal with teachers as good news “but we’ve still got a long ways to go.”

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive is recommending acceptance of an agreement reached with school district negotiators that extends most of the terms of the contract that expired a year ago.

Teachers are voting this week on the proposed settlement, which runs until June 30, 2013.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing B.C.’s 60 school districts, will hold a vote for trustees next week.

Teachers didn’t want to have a contract imposed on them while the government didn’t want continued bad feelings from another disrupted school year.

Hayes noted the deal would expire about a month after the next provincial election.

Whether a new government would have an easier time negotiating the next contract, “that’s the big $64,000 question.”

While a New Democrat government might place “more emphasis on a fair bargaining process,” and they may try harder to address issues of class size and composition, “there’s always going to be the issue of money,” Hayes said.

“There’s not too many pots of gold at the end of the rainbow that governments are going to ¿nd.”

Two men were arrested last week after Burnaby RCMP caught them red-handed stealing appliances from a transport truck in what appears to be an inside job.

Burnaby RCMP say they received a tip from Prince George RCMP that more than $14,000 in merchandise had been stolen from shipments that had originated in Burnaby and there was a good chance another theft was about to occur.

The property was owned by a retail furniture chain. On June 20, the truck was in transit from Burnaby to Prince George when it stopped in Langley, all while under surveillance by Burnaby RCMP’s Proli¿c Offender Suppression Team.

The of¿cers watched thieves remove several large boxes containing washing machines from the semi-trailer, then arrested them without incident.

One of the suspects arrested was the driver of the transport truck.

Charged with theft are Zdravko Slipac, 31, of Burnaby and Marinko Slipac, 29, of Langley. Both were scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on June 21.

Lindita Musaraj, a violinist from New Westminster, and Jim DeFina, of Burnaby, are among 34 members of the West Coast Symphony Orchestra leaving Friday for a goodwill tour to Albania. They’re also bringing with them a container of instruments to help start a music school in Antigone.

The West Coast Symphony Orchestra isn’t a professional group, although many of its members earn their living teaching music, or as freelance session players. There’s also teachers, doctors, a longshoreman and even a supreme court judge.

“We do it for the love of music,” says Burnaby’s Jim DeFina, a clarinetist and also the orchestra’s vice president. “Our mission is to present high quality programs at a low cost.”

In fact, their 14 annual concerts are free or with admission by donation to support their costs.

When they get to Albania their magnanimity will take on a further dimension.

In preparing for the their trip, the orchestra’s musicians have been mining their own collections of instruments and acquiring used ones from rental programs to be donated to a new music school being started in Llapaj’s home village, Antigone, in southern Albania, near the Antigonia

archeological site which dates to the 3rd Century BC. A container of almost 30 saxophones, clarinets, Àutes, violins and even a cello was shipped last week.

“It’s just a beginning,” says Mario Bartel photo@burnabynewsleader.com Musaraj of the donation. “It’s like a little precious treasury.”

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

A poor exercise It’s unfortunate to question a committee of good people.

But the Burnaby Hospital community consultation committee has too many Àaws to ignore.

Its creation was announced in April by Health Minister Mike de Jong, as an adjunct to the master planning process being done by Fraser Health and the Burnaby Hospital Foundation for the expansion and improvement of the hospital. As the name suggests, the goal is to ask Burnaby residents how to improve healthcare outcomes at Burnaby Hospital.

Great intentions. And the 12 committee members are no doubt hard-working, committed residents giving their time for a better city.

Unfortunately, the group is hamstrung by serious weaknesses.

First is partisan insularity. The committee’s chair and vice-chair are the two local BC Liberal MLAs, who assembled the group. The NDP MLA respresenting the hospital’s riding, Kathy Corrigan, is notably absent. The City of Burnaby also has no involvement, even as a supporter. So when the committee started selling T-shirts to raise money for the hospital foundation and raise awareness, it wasn’t at community centres or libraries— where residents frequent—but at two local businesses.

Another issue is the accessibility of the committee and its meetings.

The committee has no web site explaining its purpose, where the meetings are and how to get involved. Yes, its Facebook page does this, but its reach is limited.

Then there is the timeline.

Consultation is now through Labour Day week, a time of year when city councils, school boards, and legislatures often take a hiatus.

Public participation dwindles when the weather heats up.

So one wonders: Was this committee ordered, for the sake of appearances? To give people the impression of input?

Because if the goal is to genuinely engage Burnaby residents in an issue of vital importance, this exercise falls short.

The day kids lost their freedom I remember it all, clear as day.

I was 11. It was summer, 1982.

We were playing kick-the-can.

The old soup can was on the boulevard, and though our street could get pretty busy with traf¿c, we kids had all fanned out, tucked behind bushes, under parked cars and the bold ones among us found refuge in empty garbage cans and behind the mean old widow’s fence.

I laid down in the bed of a pickup truck parked in a neighbour’s driveway.

I swear I can still remember that last breath of air, sweet and clear.

The taste of freedom, is how I see it now.

The silence of hiding children was broke by that ¿rst call.

BARB-RA! BAAAARRR-BRA! TIME TO COME IN! From my vantage point I saw her, crouched behind the Kissicks’ rosebush. Her shoulders sagged, she groaned and stood up.

AND-REW! AAAAN-DREW! DIN-NER! LET’S GO! The chorus grew as other mothers chimed in, voices blanketing sidewalks and lawns.

Chris Bryan editor@burnabynewsleader.com

When my mom hollered, I dragged my heels. That’s how I remember it.

Wandered through the cedars out front of the Phillips’ house, leaning on one and looking up at the branches, thinking I’d climb it sometime soon.

But I didn’t. See, that was the last day.

The last day we played kick the can, red rover, British Bulldog—or street hockey until 9 p.m. two blocks down.

It was our last day of real freedom. An experience that, years later, all of us would wistfully remember and long for. A kind of feeling that kids who grew up after 1982 would never truly understand.

They would grow up in a helmeted world. Hermetically sealed inside their cars, their TV

rooms, their community centres.

For us, the shift that happened that day was about more than just growing up. We lost our innocence, but so too did our world.

Perhaps I should have seen the warning signs a summer earlier, when I was delivering The Province newspaper at 5 a.m. Don’t ask me how I dragged myself out of bed at that age.

I would stumble into my Converse high tops, rugby pants, baggy shirt and strap on my Swatch, wet my hand under the sink and push my bangs off my brow and walk in the gathering gloom up Dempsey, Nottingham and Coleman all the way to my friend’s house on McNair.

I’d go around back to his bedroom and open the sliding glass door, then jump on him with my knees so we could get going, unbundle the papers and wander the neighbourhood with our sacks.

Every once in a while we’d see a little school photo on the cover of the paper.

A little boy, or girl, gone missing. Maybe those pictures were the sign of change to come.

Or perhaps it was that day I went to another friend’s house after school, and watched as his mom locked up the liquor cabinet, pocketed the key, and stood in front of the mirror wearing the new out¿t she’d wear to work the next day, her ¿rst day on the job in 14 years.

Others followed in her wake, carried by changing times, and for the ¿rst time the houses were quiet during the day and the daycares ¿lled up. Within months the Block Watch signs came down and we’d all signed up for piano lessons.

Or was it CNN, which debuted two years earlier and showed us that the world was going to hell, country by country, 24 hours a day, so keep your loved ones close.

It’s a different world now. I see that.

But I’d like to ¿nd a way back.

Or somewhere completely new, where there’s a little more trust and a little less fear.

Let’s do a pilot project. Even for just one day.

Open up the screen door, give our kids a nudge.

COMMENT Burnaby’s businesses taxed at rate of 4:1 How would you feel if you were paying two, three, four, even ¿ve times as much property tax as your next-door neighbour, and yet not getting the same amount of services? That’s the reality facing small business owners in British Columbia every day. This week, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business released its 2012 Municipal Property Tax Gap Report, ¿nding that B.C. small businesses pay an average 2.78 times the residential tax rate for properties of equal value.

Small business has a big impact on B.C.’s economy, accounting for 98 per cent of all B.C. business, providing well over half of all private sector job creation and generating just under a third of our GDP. Between 2009 and 2010 alone, small business created close to 14,000 net new jobs, or around 36 per cent of all jobs created. Ensuring conditions that encourage small business success is vital.

This year’s report shows progress toward achieving property tax fairness has essentially Àat-lined. On the one hand, this is good news – the trend of increasing the unfair tax burden on small businesses is unsustainable. On the other hand, the failure to achieve any meaningful reduction in the gap is irresponsible and harmful.

This lack of political willpower continues to cost not just small business owners, their families and employees, but also the economic health of our province.

A recent CFIB survey found that 69 per cent of our members ranked their municipal property tax as the tax most harmful to their business, and this had grown from only 38 per cent six years ago.

Municipal governments rely on property taxes for funding, and so increased spending requires higher property taxes. Business always pays a higher rate than residents, making them especially vulnerable to the impact of excess spending. Property taxes must be paid regardless of whether a business makes a penny in pro¿t.

Their property tax bill can be the difference between a business thriving, surviving or dying. In any case, it is not money being used for job creation, expansion or innovation.

In Burnaby, CFIB found the municipal tax gap rose in the last year to 4.22 from 3.88,

and is well over the provincial average. This is an abdication of political responsibility and is unacceptable—this gap of more than four to one represents a real burden on local businesses, and on the regional economy. In fact, Burnaby was the sixth worst offender in B.C., and the ¿fth least improved between 2010 and 2011, with a 0.3 increase in its gap. As the third largest municipality by population, this matters for your families and communities. That’s why it’s important, and that’s why all of us should care.

Small business owners are the lifeblood of the B.C. economy.

They deserve to be treated fairly.

Healthy communities depend on it.

PIPELINE RISK NOT WORTH TAKING Kinder Morgan is ¿nally beginning public consultations in regards to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

I can only hope they listen to the concerns of residents who live in the path of the pipeline before they start expanding and increasing the Àow of oil from Canada to the world abroad.

As Canadians and as the stewards of the environment most at risk, there are some questions that we should be asking both Kinder Morgan and Enbridge, things that neither they nor supportive governments have been able to answer about the projects and philosophy behind oil exports.

We used to build things in Canada. We have a long history of manufacturing being one of the keystones of our economy.

Manufacturing and re¿nement of goods brought Canadians good jobs and the security needed to

build the middle class of this country. What economic gains are being made when we ship our resources and the jobs that go with them to other nations?

We still have that capacity in Canada, and even in British Columbia, yet the government and the oil companies want to ship oil overseas, all so that we can purchase the re¿ned product back.

How much does it cost Canadians to pay other nations to re¿ne our oil?

The B.C. coastline is among the most beautiful and biologically diverse in the world, and the risks are high that a spill will occur in the case of these pipelines being created. What kind of protections and guarantees are being made to ensure that spills don’t happen, and how are the companies going to ¿x the situation when there inevitably is a spill?

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Re: Protest targets “LDB selloff” (NewsLeader, June 22) It is amazing to note the apathy and complacency of the B.C. voters when it comes to this BC Liberal government selling off publicly owned assets that actually make money. Some of those pro¿ts are used for social programs, bene¿ting hundreds of thousands of British Columbians.

Where is the public outrage!

Whether it was the “illegality” of the BC Liberal government’s BC Rail sale, the questionable logic of BC Gas and now, the non-transparent sale of the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouses, these Liberals lack any moral and ethical compass when it comes to governing for the interests of all.

Rich Coleman is quoted as saying that; “and if there is no savings to consumers, we won’t do the deal.” This is nothing more than political speak, because if his of¿ce had done the proper due diligence with a business plan he could provide these speci¿cs.

More surprising has been the lack of media’s investigative coverage.

Where has our “families ¿rst” Premier Christy Clark been through all of this? Simple, she has been told by party insiders and Liberal lobbyists not to concern herself about this matter.

Celebrate Canada D Y,eh Canada Day! Only became ‘Canada Day’ in 1982 On June 20, 1868, a proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, called upon all Her Majesty’s loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1.

The July 1 holiday was established by statute in 1879, under the name Dominion Day. There is no record of organized ceremonies after this ¿rst anniversary, except for the 50th anniversary of Confederation in 1917.

The next celebration was in 1927 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation. It was

highlighted by the laying of the cornerstone by the Governor General of the Confederation Building and the inauguration of the Carillon in the Peace Tower.

Since 1958, the government has arranged for an annual observance of Canada’s national day.

By 1968, there was multicultural and professional concerts held on Parliament Hill including a nationally televised show. Up until 1975, the focus of the celebrations was in the National Capital Region during the whole month of July and involved numerous cultural, artistic and sport activities.

In 1980 the federal government moved to sponsor celebrations all across Canada.

On Oct. 27, 1982, July 1 which was known as “Dominion Day” became “Canada Day”.

Happy Canada Day to all!

How ‘O Canada’ came to be “O Canada” was proclaimed Canada’s national anthem on July 1, 1980, 100 years after it was ¿rst sung on June 24, 1880.

The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée, a well-known composer; French lyrics to accompany the music were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier.

By the time the World War

broke out in 1914, “O Canada” was the best known patriotic song in Canada, edging out “The Maple leaf Forever” and others less well-known today.

In 1927, an of¿cial version of “O Canada” was authorized for singing in Canadian schools and for use at public functions.

In 1942, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King,

was asked if he did not think this an appropriate time for proclaiming a national anthem.

He replied that “There are times and seasons for all things and this time of war when there are other more important questions with which parliament has to deal, we might well continue to follow what has become the custom in Canada in recent years of regarding “God Save The King” and “O Canada” each as national anthems and entitled to similar recognition.”

In 1980, Secretary of State Francis Fox, presented a bill, similar to As of July 1st, you can recycle more than 300 different previously presented bills household electrical products such as small appliances, on “O Canada”, ful¿lling power tools, exercise equipment and sewing machines a promise made earlier at one of over 120 ElectroRecycle drop-off locations in the House that “O across B.C.

Jade Anderson is one of three Burnaby women competing in the Miss BC, Miss Teen BC and Mrs. BC Pageant on Monday at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley. Anderson, Sara Saib and Wendy Leung will be among 50 women competing in a private interview, sportswear and evening gown presentations, sponsor costume introduction and charity fundraising. Proceeds from the event go to the Cops for Cancer bike tour that helps send kids going through cancer to Camp Goodtimes. Since 2007, pageant contestants have raised more than $150,000 for the tour.

“This is not a beauty pageant,” says director Darren Storsley. “It will be a well-rounded, intelligent, outgoing and well spoken young lady who will win the crown, not necessarily the most beautiful girl.”

Supporters can also vote for the “People’s Choice Award,” at www.missbc.ca.

Kinder Morgan supplies clarification As reported in the NewsLeader, as part of its expansion proposal for the Trans Mountain pipeline, Kinder Morgan Canada is applying for a 150-metre-wide corridor as part of its preliminary, general route.

This is not the same as a right-of-way, clari¿ed company spokeswoman Lexa Hobenshield Wednesday. If the expansion is approved by the National Energy Board, the company would then seek approval for a speci¿c

detailed route for the pipeline and its right-of-way, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby. Right-ofways are typically 18 metres (60 ft) wide, she noted, and it would be located within the 150-metrewide corridor if approved.

Do your homework before buying or selling a house.

Selling or buying a new house can be a complicated process and involves a lot of planning - and often a little ingenuity, too. Considering the size of the investment you have made in your house, it’s worth your while to take the time to learn how to protect it and yourself.

Here are some tips to get you started: Show your house in its best light.

Your house might be competing against others in the area, so you’ll want to give yourself every possible advantage. A clean house makes a good impression and shows that the house has been well looked after. It’s what buyers want to see. A fresh coat of paint and some light decor can revitalize the interior and make it attractive and appealing. It presents a positive image of your house and can help make for a successful sale.

A Canadian ball carrier tries to break past Georgia defender Davit Kacharava in their international test match at Swangard Stadium on Saturday. Canada won the match 31-12.

Work ethic put Burnaby Joe in hockey hall of fame Former midget manager said Sakic was one to watch at 15 Grant Granger sports@burnabynewsleader.com

When Joe Sakic was growing up across the street from Kensington Arena he could be often seen shooting hundreds of pucks in the driveway of his family’s Curtis Street home.

Well, Burnaby Joe has a new residence, the Hockey Hall of Fame, thanks to all those wrist shots he practised in his youth.

In his Âżrst year of eligibility, Sakic was named to hockey’s hallowed hall Tuesday. He will join Glenn Anderson as the only Burnaby natives to be inducted. “He had this tremendous work ethic that has been a trademark of his career,â€? said Larry Hayes, who was manager of Sakic’s Burnaby Minor Hockey Association midget team for two years and is now the organization’s executive director.

Hayes recalls telling a few people to “watch this kid� when Sakic was a 15-year-old and “lo and behold I was right.� Sakic went on to a 20-year NHL career playing 1,378 regular games in which he scored 625 goals and accumulated 1,641 points, the ninth most in NHL history. He also played 172 playoff games scoring 84 goals and 104 assists.

His record made him a slam-dunk choice for the committee while others take years to receive the honour. “He certainly was a good player,â€? said Hayes. “His Âżrst year [of midget], one of the things that was a struggle for him was his skating, if you can believe that now. He certainly had the tenacity and the work ethic, that was something that was evident with him as a kid, and he certainly made up for some of his deÂżciencies by working on improving those things. “I don’t think anybody can say they can spot a hall of famer at that young of age. You can spot a good player that could make a good living in hockey, but there are so many things that can happen good and bad between a minor and junior career and an extensive pro career.â€?

In his second midget season, Burnaby was a

dominant team winning the provincial title and going on to play in the national championship in 1986. Sakic had a strong supporting cast but “he was a huge, huge reason� the team did so well, said Hayes.

But it almost didn’t come about. At Christmas, Sakic played three games for the Lethbridge Broncos and the Western Hockey League team tried to get him to stay. He phoned Hayes and said, “Larry they want me to stay.� Hayes immediately began burning up the phone lines talking to the sport’s bureaucrats about what was best for the young 16 year old. “I saw my visions of a championship going out the window,� said Hayes, who Sakic invited to his induction into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. “[Returning to Burnaby] probably turned out the best for him for his development.�

Sakic did go on to play two seasons for the Broncos after they moved to Swift Current. He was taken 15th overall by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1987 NHL entry draft but didn’t sign until May 1988 after Hayes’ big mouth got him into a bit of trouble. “I wanted to crawl under a table,â€? said Hayes, who sent an apology letter to Quinn to prevent the Canucks from being Âżned for tampering.

After signing with Quebec, he went on to play 20 seasons for the same franchise moving with the team to Denver where it became the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96. The Avs won the Stanley Cup that Âżrst year and again in 2001.

Along the way, Sakic won the Conn Smythe Trophy for being the playoff’s most valuable player in 1996, and the league MVP trophy in 2001. He was also Canada’s most valuable player in leading the country to a gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. “I was very excited to get the call. You’re always hoping to go in but when it Âżnally happens it was very humbling. I was speechless for a bit, but it’s an honour,â€? Sakic told TSN on Tuesday via phone from Seattle where he was vacationing. “I’m extremely proud. I’ve had a lot of help from a lot of people along the way.â€?

Federal government announces a set of new mortgage rules

CHBA forecasts fewer first-time buyers The federal government announced new rules for mortgages last week, including changing the maximum mortgage amortization period from 30 years to 25. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty also announced that insured mortgages will only be available to buyers purchasing a home for under $1 million.

“We want people to make sure that when they purchase the most important purchase they’ll probably ever make in their life, that they do so in a prudent way,” says Flaherty.

The government expects that less than five per cent of new home purchasers will be affected

by the changes, but the Canadian Home Builders’ Association sees it having repercussions on a certain demographic.

“The shorter maximum mortgage amortization period will reduce housing demand by eroding affordability,” says CHBA President Ron Olson. “For those who would otherwise have selected a 30-year amortization, it will take additional income each month to service new mortgage debt.

Some potential new home buyers will no longer qualify, and this will disproportionately affect younger firsttime home buyers.”

The changes will take effect on July 9.

residents don’t need to take their cars out as often. The opening of the Canada Line and the subsequent success of the Marine Gateway project has proven this conclusion, and Evergreen’s proximity to the new SkyTrain line is something of which Bosa is very proud.

“The access to SkyTrain is just amazing,” says Avitan.

Evergreen is within walking distance of several neighbourhood amenities, including restaurants and shopping at Coquitlam Centre. A Douglas College campus is also close by, along with elementary and secondary schools. If you’re looking for a bit of outdoor time,

several parks and Lafarge Lake are also in the area.

The Bosa name is one of the reasons that people have been pre-registering before the homes officially open for sale.

“Bosa has quite a following. (They) do it right the first time,” says Avitan.

“People feel very comfortable with that.”

The sales centre is at 3005 Glen Drive in Coquitlam, and is open from noon to 6 p.m. every day. Homes at Evergreen start at $265,900. For more information, visit www.bosaproperties. com/evergreen or call 604-942-2672.

Bosa Properties brings Evergreen to Coquitlam

by Kerry Vital

Bosa Properties brings livability to Coquitlam with their newest project, Evergreen. Located just steps from TransLink’s upcoming Evergreen Line, the condominium tower will be bringing more than beautiful homes to the table.

“There really is something for everybody,” says sales manager Madonna Avitan.

With 195 homes in a variety of one- and two-bedroom plans, there is a home to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking for a one-bedroom with a work space or den or a two-bedroom penthouse with two bathrooms, you will be sure to find the perfect home.

Some of the suites are part of the Evergreen Estate Collection, which feature higher ceilings, expansive outdoor balconies (some over 600 square feet) and larger floorplans.

“There’s some exclusivity about them,” says Avitan.

A particularly impressive feature at Evergreen is the kitchen. Imported from Italy, the Armony kitchens include an Italian woodgrain and stainless-steel backsplash that lends a touch of elegance to the space, while the solid composite stone countertops are chic and modern. The stainlesssteel appliances are complemented by the dramatic brushed chrome lighting in the cooking area and breakfast bar, while the recessed halogen valance lighting in the cabinets makes it easy to find everything you need. The glass-laminated upper cabinet doors with their integral pulls offer plenty of storage space.

Moving into the bathrooms, the solid stone countertops and porcelain tile flooring are quiet odes to luxury.

The master ensuite features a gorgeous soaker tub or a walk-in shower with a full-height tile surround. The recessed stone vanity shelf in the tub or shower is just one of the many convenient little touches at Evergreen.

The imported Armony vanity with dual storage drawers is another beautiful touch, paired with a designer storage shelving unit beside it. The recessed halogen lighting continues in here to illuminate the toilet, sink and tub or shower, and the decorative polished chrome towel bars and paper holders are yet another little detail that adds up to a beautiful whole.

Bosa has included a great set of amenities in Evergreen, including a

gym, an entertainment lounge and an open outdoor terrace with a barbecue area and firepit, Avitan says. Owners are also able to barbecue on their own balconies.

Evergreen is the fourth and final building in Bosa’s Westwood Village neighbourhood, following on the heels of Altamont, Claremont and Edgemont. These past phases have built up a beautiful neighbourhood around them, so buyers at Evergreen will be able to join an established community.

“The neighbourhood has been planned for a long time,” says Avitan.

With it’s fantastic location along rapid transit, Evergreen is able to take advantage of easy accessibility to the entire Lower Mainland. Communities located along SkyTrain lines often experience greater public safety due to increased pedestrian traffic, and life is often more environmentally friendly as
