breaking stagnation REPORTER

hile the rest of the Lower Mainland has experienced unprecedented population growth and development over the past 15 years, Tsawwassen has barely budged. That could soon change, however, as Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) is set to exercise a land use plan that will see the creation of more than 1,500 single-detached homes and townhouses, and 280 apartment units built on 99-year leaseholds over the next decade. The development also includes a school and 1.8-million square foot mega-mall. “The ocean-side property is one of the most beautiful undeveloped sites in Metro Vancouver,” said Kevin Hoffman, vice president of Aquilini Development & Construction, adding the Aquilinis are planning several phases of development, the first being 19 detached homes. “The thing that really attracted us to this opportunity is the scale of opportunity and the location.” Hoffman added that as a result Tsawwassen’s population could grow by 25 per cent once the entire residential project is completed. And with 662 hectares of treaty land, there could be more people living on TFN lands than in Tsawwassen several decades from now. According to BC Statistics, Tsawwassen’s current population of around 21,000 represents a loss of 1,000 since 1996. Popular belief from the pro-development segment is

Coal port equipment catches fire

One of Westshore Terminals' newest stacker-reclaimer machines caught fire last Friday afternoon (Sept. 7), resulting in minor damage but no injuries. The stacker-reclaimer is one of Westshore's four huge machines that stacks coal onto piles and then reclaims it from those piles for loading onto ships. Westshore spokesman Ray Dykes said one of the rubber rollers on the machine spontaneously caught fire, an unusual event because it had been hours after it had stopped being used. The machine parts are now being replaced to prevent a similar accident. Dykes said he was pleased nobody was injured in the fire and thanked Delta Fire and Emergency Services for its quick response. Fire damage was minimal, but Dykes estimated it would take about five days to finish repairs, bringing the machine back online by Tuesday (Sept. 11). Meanwhile, running on the remaining three stackerreclaimers wasn't expected to cause much in the way of delays for Westshore. The damaged machine, estimated to cost about $25 million brand-new, had been operating for about two years.

no one was injured in a three vehicle collision that halted traffic in both directions along Ladner Trunk Rd. early Monday morning (Sept. 10). At around 7:30 a.m. a dump truck and its trailer ended up in a ditch on the north side of Ladner Trunk Rd. at 88th St. after colliding with a minivan and pick up truck. The minivan suffered major damage and the pick up truck came to rest tail first in a ditch on the corner of Ladner Trunk Rd. and 88 St. The incident closed Ladner Trunk Rd. for several hours during the morning r u s h .

New TFN chief emphasizes culture

dysl’s

Bryce Williams says he's ready for challenge reporter

When word got out on election night that a 23-year-old member of the Tsawwassen First Nation had unseated long-time Chief Kim Baird, the reaction was largely shock. Chief-elect Br yce Williams acknowledges his youthful success with a hearty laugh. "I guess it doesn't happen that often around too many other reserves or treaty nations," he said Friday morning (Sept. 7) in his first post-election interview. "But I know it's a big, significant change and I'm ready to step up my role as leader." Williams won by a narrow margin, earning 78 votes to Baird's 69. In total, 260 people were eligible to vote from the community's population of 439—a voter participation rate of 57 per cent. "I had a feeling it was going to be close, and obviously at the time of the election I was pretty surprised to finally see the results," said the new chief, adding it was a personal decision to run and, despite his youth, he has gained valuable experience from sitting on TFN's executive council for the past three years. Williams said he was also involved in working on the landmark Tsaw-

Veggies pinched from Ladner's community garden Thieves make off with odd assortment of produce adrian Macnair reporter

As gardeners in South Delta prepare to harvest the fruits of their labour, some are finding thieves have gotten there first. Kristen Crouch wrote recently on her Ladner Community Garden blog that there have been reports of vegetable thefts over the last few weeks. She pointed out that just as news surfaced in Richmond last week about an agricultural theft of 5,000 pounds of potatoes, and another theft from the Terra Nova Sharing Farm, now people are plucking veggies from Ladner as well. At first Crouch said gardeners figured it was just an isolated incident,

until a member spotted someone shopping with empty bags in hand. "It's only a matter of time before we get a photo of this person, but for now I hope they are enjoying the fruits of our labour," she wrote on her blog. The Ladner Community Garden has 46 allotment beds, making there plenty to choose from. But Crouch says she's surprised because nothing was taken last year. Some of the more difficult-toremove vegetables, like cabbages, had to have required gardening tools, so Crouch speculates the theft is more than just a crime of opportunity. "Someone's been harvesting our carrots and carefully cutting the tops off and just leaving the tops

behind," she said in a phone interview. It's not so bad knowing the food is being eaten, but she says gardeners get upset when vegetables are uprooted and left to rot. More disappointing still, Crouch says when she went to harvest beans for the food bank they were almost all gone. Fortunately, one gardner donated 16 pounds of beets, a zucchini and some carrots. But Crouch hopes the thefts won't cause a shortfall of the regular donations made to the food bank. The thefts have even caused one neophyte gardener to consider giving up. "He was babying along this yellow zucchini and when he came to pick it, it was gone."

Helping hand Tsawwassen mother and daughter want to teach Caribbean children how to succeed

adrian@southdeltaleader.com

he French-speaking children of the SugarKids Educational School in the Dominican Republic call Deborah Conabree "debrouillard." It means someone who is adaptable to any situation, or someone who can make something out of nothing. That fits the description for Tsawwassen resident Deborah perfectly, as the artist and aid worker has been trying to teach children life lessons that will help them become self-sufficient and prosperous on the Caribbean island. "We bought them one shovel and it changed the whole world," she says. "It really doesn't Adrian take much to MacNair help." Deborah was walking along the road one day and saw a dried-up cherry tomato plant dying of thirst in front of a house. "It's so fertile that things will grow right on the side of the road," she explains. After getting permission from the owner to dig it up, she placed it in a rice bag and brought it to the school and planted it. Following her example, children from the school took the shovel and found some more tomato plants and brought them to the school. They now have a thriving garden which includes a banana and passion fruit tree. "I'm really trying to teach them that food is worth more than money," says Deborah, adding the Dominican Republic has all the soil, sun, and rain it needs, but the people don't realize they can grow all the food they need. In the Dominican Republic, a person

can trade tomatoes for a ride on a motorcycle. And that's important, since a lack of public transportation keeps some kids from attending school. In fact, Deborah says many of the adults who have their kids in school just sign permission slips with an "X" because they're illiterate. She's hoping donations will allow her to buy solar panels so they can run an adult education class in the evenings. Electricity is unreliable, so when the sun goes down at 6 p.m., school's out. She estimates just one out of the 60 students at the school will go on to university. And though the community will usually rally around that one star, Deborah is concerned about what will happen to the other 59. It costs $250 a month to the pay the rent and four teacher salaries to run the SugarKids school. Many of the students are Haitian refugees who fled their country following the devastating 2010 earthquake. Deborah was teaching English in the Dominican Republic in 2009 when she first heard about the good things the school was doing. Since then, she has made regular trips to the country to help ensure it stays open. Last year she brought down two suitcases of gleaners fruit, which lasted from Jan. 15 to mid-May and it cost just $40 in luggage fees. Deborah says the school was recently donated a 30-by-eight-foot plot of land that can be used to expand the garden. She's now organizing a secular mission to head down next Easter and do more gardening. She hopes by that time she'll be able to bring an ultra-violet water filter for purification.

Firefighter breaks world record Jamie McGarva carves nearly two seconds off the best time at National Scott FireFit competition in Quebec adrian MacNair reporter

Delta's fire department can now boast the top firefighter in Canada. Jamie McGarva, 38, from Surrey, shattered a world record while finishing first out of 134 firefighters competing at the National Scott FireFit Championships in BaieComeau, Que. on Sept. 1 and 2. McGar va's time of 1:13.53 knocked more than two seconds off the previous record of 1:15.9. He finished second to Kamloops firefighter Graham MacKenzie last year, who was fourth this time around. Teammate Ryan Rickards, 36, from Langley, who finished in 27th place, said it's in McGarva's nature to be the best at whatever he does. "His wife was telling me a story that his neighbour redid their lawn, so

Jamie went out the next day and redid his lawn and garden," said Rickards. "Because he has to have the nicest lawn in the neighbourhood. He's that guy." Rickards said that four years ago McGarva was running a middle-ofthe-road time of 1:35 and decided to really dedicate himself to training harder and dieting like an athlete. That hard work has paid off. "He was back in the gym at 6 a.m. yesterday morning," said Rickards. "And he probably worked out again last night." The team finished second out of 26 teams in Canada, behind perennial powerhouse Kamloops, who are the four-time National champions and two-time World champions. "Across Canada, a small little department like us, that's great," said Rickards. Teammate Reid Taylor,

Locally grown fundraiser Annual corn and potato sale at Ladner roadside produce stand to support Delta Hospital Local is the theme this Saturday (Sept. 15) for Ladner's Guichon family. And the younger generation of the pioneer farming clan is helping raise funds for the Delta Hospital Foundation by offering a taste of produce straight from local fields. It's their third annual Corn and Potato Fundraiser. Selling from their popular roadside stand on Arthur Dr. near historic Kirkland House, the Guichons want to thank the community for supporting their business and in turn raise money for the hospital in memory of their late grandmother, Lorraine Guichon. Last year, the event raised just under $3,500 with 100 per cent off the proceeds being donated from the one-day sale. As with past years, the sale features new potatoes and purchase of corn that

will be doubled at no extra charge. What would someone do with an abundance of corn? According Alicia Guichon, it can be frozen. Check the Leader's website for directions. And what's an ideal way to use the new potatoes? Her recipe for potato salad is a fine way to end the summer eating season.

Refined idea Media mogul David Black (Black Press, owner the South Delta Leader) has my full support for his proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery near Kitimat to process heavy oil from the Enbridge pipeline. I’ve had the same idea myself. Why should we let the Asian countries buy our Canadian crude oil and refine it for their markets when we could add value by refining it here in B.C. and shipping them the finished product? This is a strategy that would create local jobs for our own citizens and

Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club is located next to a seniors' complex and it is mostly being used by seniors, so one would think they would have some consideration and understanding for seniors. In the mornings the "lawnchomper" starts up just after 7 a.m., and with its grunting, grinding and moaning it whines its way across the lawn oblivious that it awakens and disturbs the senior tenants who face this green in the apartment complexes. Consideration to the needs of the seniors who live in the apartments who have to face this disturbance

from this grinding monster in the early morning hours seem unimportant especially when there is a bylaw that allows this type of abuse. It's time that the mayor and council revisit the bylaw and amend it so these senior people can have that sleep they deserve, the respect they deserve and the peace of mind that the alarm of the beginning of the day isn?t that moaning, grinding, groaning of this alarm clock known as the "lawnchomper."

address the environmental concerns around oil tankers travelling in B.C.’s coastal waters. I know for a fact that Alberta wants to do this because I worked on a project in East Edmonton (a stone’s throw from the refineries in Fort Saskatchewan) that would have seen it become a reality. And as long as Enbridge meets the conditions and standards set out by the premier, moving heavy oil from Alberta through a pipeline would be a heck of a lot better than shipping it by rail or truck. That’s why B.C. should be working with Alberta on exactly the kind of

joint interprovincial venture David Black is proposing, a venture that would bring value-added tertiary oil refining to B.C. along with the heavy oil pipeline. Shipping gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products by tanker is just as practical as shipping crude oil and lot safer from an environmental standpoint. So let’s not waste this opportunity and the revenue and jobs it could bring to our province. There’s a lot we could do here in B.C. with a piece of the oil industry pie.

ruled out of order because the current hearings in Edmonton are focused solely on the economic impact of the pipeline. In other words B.C.’s highpaid experts hadn’t done their homework and furthermore they didn’t even know what class they were attending. Does anyone need more proof that Clark’s government lurches

from crisis to crisis without any long-term plan? I feel sorr y for the honest hardworking B.C. Liberal MLAs who have to suffer the indignity of one embarrassment after another because of incompetence at the top. They deserve better and so does British Columbia.

Keep on running After 31 years and millions of dollars raised, you might think the terry Fox Run would have run out of steam. in fact, the flame that Port Coquitlam hero terry Fox lit more than 30 years ago with his ill-fated national run burns just as brightly, thanks to the continued commitment of volunteers, schools and run supporters from all over the world. it would be easy to give the local terry Fox Run a pass on Sunday when people gather at Rotary Square in tsawwassen. it might rain. other things will compete for your time. Maybe you're not as inspired as you once were. Further, with Betty Fox's passing, fewer Fox family members are able to rally the troops. But then there is this: everyone is touched by cancer and research saves lives. Although two out of five Canadians is expected to develop cancer, only one of every four Canadians will die. Cancer is the leading cause of premature death and funds raised by the terry Fox Foundation goes to important research that will reduce those statistics. there is also this: More than a million people who don't even live in terry's home nation will run to support the foundation in the coming days. that includes Major Art Brown and his team from Camp KAiA-n based at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan and Camp eggers at the international Security Assistance Force compound, also in Afghanistan. the men and women of these military commands risk their lives every day but are willing to put aside some of their precious leisure time to run for terry. if they can do it, so can we. this weekend, take some time and join the run in South Delta.

Serving Metro Vancouver

From P3 56th Ave., the 490-home Tsawwassen Springs development by Shato Holdings, and a 19-unit apartment building recently approved at Hunter Rd. and 12th Ave. “There is growth through infill, there’s growth through amalgamation, and at some point you’re built out,” she said, adding the challenge is then to build up. Though Bishop said she understands the need for housing and economic prosperity and development, there has to be a balance. “It has to be the right development in the right place at the right time and for the right reason,” she said. Jackson has seen Delta before and after the implementation of the ALR in 1972 and said it should stay. When some people don’t want to farm anymore, they can sell the land to another person who does. “Because that land is valuable and the land will be here forever,” she said. TFN’s development follows guidelines set out by the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy, and aims to meet objectives like protecting green areas, preserving land in the ALR, and achieving a compact metropolitan region to reduce commute times and generate jobs. Oppal said he’s sympathetic to the difficulties facing Delta’s current council, and ultimately it’s the community that has to take ownership of the issue. And although Oppal said it’s good to cherish farmland, all of South Delta is built on fertile farmland. “I mean, if we’re really trying to preserve farmland maybe we should all move out,” he said. adrian@southdeltaleader.com

an ascent to remember

Tsawwassen's mike and Jennifer Terrell prepare to hike mt. Kilimanjaro in aid of alzheimer research adrian macnair reporter

huffling forward in near-pitch darkness, Aly Devji can’t tell if the shapes around him are actually real or only part of his imagination. The hallucinations have muddled his thoughts, and he struggles to understand what he’s doing. The world around him swirls by in slow motion. Devji doesn’t even remember where he is. In fact, he has forgotten everything except for taking next step. The memories of climbing 5,895 metres above sea level to the peak of Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro are now three years old, but the feelings he experienced remain raw. “At least we could climb the mountain and we could climb back down,” Devji says. “But for families with Alzheimer’s, they’re constantly on that mountain.” Devji is an assistant administrator at Delta View Habilitation Centre, a residential care facility for people with various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). There is no cure for AD, it can only be slowed down with treatment. Eventually, the nerves in the brain are damaged to the point where the victim of this treacherous disease loses all sense of reality. It’s that disorienting experience Devji compares to climbing a high altitude peak and a reason why he and his mother, Jane Devji, who founded Delta View, made the ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2009 to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. “That is the journey, times 100, that the resident and the family faces,” he says.

Tsawwassen's Mike and Jennifer Terrell (top photo) have been training for a hike up Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro Sept. 24 to 30 with their group (above) in support of the Alzheimer's Society of B.C. The couple are raising funds and awareness of the disease Jennifer calls 'insidious' as it slowly steals a person's character. Adrian MacNair photo

raising money and awareness Mike and Jennifer Terrell, a Tsawwassen couple married for 28 years, will make that same ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro from Sept. 24 to 30 to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC (ASBC). Jennifer became involved with AD after a close relative in Ontario was diagnosed three years ago. It was a surprise to learn the news. “It’s such a slow and insidious kind of progression that the caregiver doesn’t even notice,” says Jennifer. At first she tried to deal with it on her own, but heard about an AD meeting at the Ladner Library, which introduced her to a support network. That gave her the chance to speak to others who have loved ones living with AD. It’s made her realize she’s not alone. “You feel helpless and you want to do something for a person you’re seeing slowly disappear,” says Mike, a lawyer who has spent years in Africa working on mining exploration.

The Kilimanjaro ascent gives them a chance to feel like they’re doing something, not only to raise money for research, but awareness about a terrible disease. They’re part of an 11-member team hoping to make the climb with Whistler guide Sue Oakey, who has had a 97 per cent success rate in past expeditions as hikers battle oxygen deprivation. The team is comprised of people from all walks of life, young and old, swimmers, cyclists, and hikers. In fact, there’s an 84 and 85-year-old couple who have been married for more than 60 years. If they reach the summit it will be an achievement for the Guinness Book of World Records. “They are very inspirational,” says Jennifer. “One of the things I like about their style of hiking is the slow and steady pace.” changing perceptions The ASBC ascent of Kilimanjaro is now in its 15th year. Each team member is tasked with raising $10,000 for the climb, with every penny going to Alzheimer’s research. Sandy Riley, 66, is a past president of the ASBC who made the climb herself in 1999. She has been responsible for organizing the team and getting them motivated. She first became aware of AD 25 years ago in the United Kingdom when her mother was diagnosed. “I just felt that I couldn’t help my mom as much as I wanted to on the journey, so maybe I could do something over here,” she says. Sandy says many people have misconceptions that Alzheimer’s is simply a sign of old age, when it’s actually a disease. She says there’s still a social stigma of talking about dementia because people don’t want the outside world to know a person they love most is slowly losing their mind. “Twenty years ago when somebody was getting violent or angry, the real reason was they were so frustrated because they couldn’t explain what was going on,” she says. “I specifically remember one lady telling me her father was carried away in a strait jacket.” Fortunately, attitudes have changed substantially since then so people can talk openly about dementia and understand and empathize with not only those who have AD, but those families suffering through it. “They say dementia robs the resident, the patient, the person of relationships, of memories, of all those things,” says Aly Devji. “But it robs the families of those same things.” Residents at Delta View often have visual hallucinations, nightmares, and poor impulse control. They aren’t able to choose between right and wrong, or

pare someone for the altitude at Kilimanjaro. Once you pass 3,000 metres, the air begins to thin and breathing becomes more difficult. Another challenge is the change in temperature. During training in Jasper this summer it was 28 Celsius at the base of the mountain, and -4 at the summit. “It was a good experience in being prepared,” says Jennifer. But the Terrells insist the climb isn’t about them, but about finding a cure for AD, and to let people know there is help and support out there. Part of their pre-climb fundraising included a barbecue in Point Roberts with the ASBC. One of the guest speakers was Jim Mann, who has Alzheimer’s. He talked about his life and struggles with the disease since the diagnosis, including the Making preparations importance of writing down The Terrells are going to notes to remind himself later of Kilimanjaro at a perfect time.

I’ve seen children come to see their dad and he just looks at them blankly. And when they (residents) say something it’s gibberish.” Devji says there have even been people he knew when he was younger who have since become patients under his care. “These were people that, what you see now, forget being a shell of themselves, they’re totally different people,” he says.

After about a week of hiking in increasingly thin air, members of the Delta View team unfurl a banner at the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Experiencing oxygen deprivation is akin to what Alzheimer's patients experience. Contributed photo

Pub food perfection

Ladner's Garrett Wilkinson thrives in the fast-paced kitchen at the Rusty Anchor Pub

Garrett Wilkinson, kitchen manager at the Rusty Anchor Pub, with his signature dish of steak and prawns, says he loves the educational aspect of cooking. Philip Raphael photo

Growing up, Ladner's Garrett Wilkinson had never envisioned a career in the kitchen. As a shooting guard on the DSS Pacers basketball team he was more concerned with hitting that long-range three-pointer. And on the pitching mound with Ladner Minor Baseball's first provincial championship winning team he was focused on striking out as many batters he could. But the soon to be 20-year-old has managed to find a vocation that taps into his love of intense situations experienced as an elite athlete. As kitchen manager at the Rusty Anchor Pub at Captain's Cove Marina (6100 Ferry Rd.), he is welcoming the challenge of serving up a host of scrumptious

pub food in a picturesque spot overlooking the water. “I enjoyed all the pressure here, taking control and having to lead everybody, and making sure ever ything goes out properly,” Wilkinson says. “I grew up playing sports at a pretty high level, so I'm used to being in the spotlight.” One of the crowning touches of working in a fast-paced environment is the feedback he receives. “It's that great feeling, the satisfaction when someone sticks their head in the back of the kitchen and says, ‘That was an awesome meal.’ You don't get that in a lot of jobs.” But it happened quite recently for Wilkinson who got

a nice word and thumbs up from three customers visiting from Australia who praised his current signature dish—steak and prawns. “These guys said it was the best pub food they ever had. And they were in their 40's and have likely traveled a lot, and as Australians are probably not strangers to steak and prawns.” One of the secrets to the dish is the way the prawns are prepared. “They are poached in butter with a good amount of garlic,” Wilkinson explains. “They never see the water or the frying pan, and just come out with this really rich, intense flavor.”

Finding an oasis of calm in South Surrey

Live naturally at Wills Creek Take advantage of a natural lifestyle at Wills Creek, by EMAAR Canada. EMAAR is currently selling the seventh and eighth phases of Wills Creek. Eight units were sold last week, demonstrating the popularity of these amazing homes. With features like custom-designed Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by a handset textured natural stone backsplash and polished granite countertops in the kitchen, there are plenty of things to love at Wills Creek. The townhomes range from 2,400 to 4,400 square feet, so there is no shortage of space. Many homes include 10-foot vaulted ceilings on the main level, and

tons of natural light pours through the large windows. The ensuite bathroom is gorgeous, with an oversized soaker tub with a marble deck (perfect for holding your glass of wine), a frameless glass walk-in shower with a rain shower head and a handset imported glass tile tub and shower surround. Buyers will be able to take advantage of all the amenities of Morgan Creek, including schools and shopping. There is also an amenity centre that includes a fitness centre, multi-purpose room, outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub. Homes start at $539,900. For more information, visit www.willscreek.ca or call 604-542-8971.

glass walk-in shower with modern tile surrounds and accents (depending on your chosen floorplan) are perfect for relaxing in after a long day. Though fall is now on its way, the air-conditioning that comes standard in every home is also a popular feature, Kwok says. Buyers are able to take possession of their new home immediately, so there will be no waiting for construction to finish. Atrium is part of the Pier masterplanned community, which includes the Pinnacle International hotel. The area is a former shipyard that now holds a seawalk, 700-foot pier and heritage buildings. Restaurants, transit, leisure activities and shopping at the Lonsdale Quay Market are all in close proximity, making The Pier a great

place for homebuyers looking to be connected to everything. Downtown Vancouver is just 15 minutes away via SeaBus, so the annoyances of a long commute can easily be washed away. “After coming home from work ... this is a totally different world, because it has the (serenity) of a resort,” says Kwok. Owners at Atrium will also have access to the amenities at the Pinnacle Hotel, including an 80-foot pool, fitness centre with a yoga studio and the hotel concierge services. The hotel also houses 8,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space. One-bedroom homes start at $399,900 and two-bedroom homes at $649,900. For more information, visit www.thepier.info or call 604-983-9065.

‘This is a totally different world’

Atrium at Pinnacle Pier showcases quiet elegance by Kerry Vital

If it’s modern waterfront living you’re yearning for, you need look no farther than Atrium at Pinnacle Pier, located on Vancouver’s North Shore in the Lower Lonsdale area. “It’s one of the very few waterfront communities on the North Shore” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd. “They are buying into a master-planned waterfront community.” Ranging from 654 to over 3,000 square feet, the homes at Atrium at Pinnacle Pier are spacious and open, with a custom-designed electric fireplace with granite mantle and designer carpeting. The kitchens include chic granite countertops and a porcelain tile floor, complemented

by designer cabinetry and Bosch appliances. The recessed pot lighting and pendant lighting over the breakfast bar combine to illuminate your tasks without being harsh, while the Kohler faucet in the dual stainless-steel undermount sink make cleanup easy. The nine-foot ceilings and welldesigned floorplans have proven particularly popular, Kwok says. The elegant bathrooms with their own recessed pot lighting and designer cabinetry and vanities with a granite or marble countertop are chic and clean, while the luxurious soaker tub or

“

It’s one of the very few waterfront communities on the North Shore,” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd.

The homes at Atrium at Pinnacle Pier are full of chic details, such as a stainless-steel undermount sink and gorgeous tile backsplash in the kitchen, above. Living right on the waterfront, below, has its perks, including a short commute across to downtown Vancouver on the SeaBus.

And naturally, a great kitchen and beautiful finishes are a given at Morgan Crossing. The best part? you’re still just a short walk away from over 60 shops & services in the dynamic Morgan Crossing village! village life means something a little different to everyone.

Or even the fact that your car stays parked more often than not with everything you need right at your doorstep. Whatever village life means to you, one thing is for sure – you will live!

Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour. Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC). Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other ﬁnancing options available to qualiﬁed applicants.
