Board shaves deficit down Reduces shortfall from $2.2m to $342,000 Grant Granger

Hard-hatted workers with tool belts criss-cross the Queensborough Community Centre expansion construction site. Wires hang from open ceiling panels dangling along the stark white unpainted drywall down to bare concrete floors. While there’s still much work to be done, Harry Buchholz has an air of excited anticipation about him and a spring in his step as a media tour

It’s been almost eight years since the community floated the expansion idea, and Buchholz, who was on an advisory task force for the project from the beginning, can see the finish line through the mess, even though its completion is about four months away. “I’m just about jumping out of my skin with excitement,” says Buchholz. “I’m visual, and I see it in my mind. We’re this close and I’m tasting it.” The new centre will not only expand the programs, activities

It will also be a place where Queensborough residents can pay their taxes, utility bills and pick up dog licences. In addition, facility manager Renée Chadwick says the centre will be New Westminster’s first early childhood education hub, anchored by an 1,800-square-foot child care facility that can accommodate 25 children. “For many people this is a second

home and we really wanted to capture that in the process,” says Chadwick. “This is going to be one-stop shopping for Queensborough.” The 13,500-square-foot expansion will be built to LEED Gold standards, which means it will have optimal energy efficient mechanical systems and much of the wood is from previously used regional products. The natural light that pierces into many of the centre’s spaces from the numerous windows will also reduce energy costs. please see CeNTre’S, a3

The New Westminster school district has shaved its anticipated deficit for 2012-13 from $2.2 million to $342,000, with the remaining shortfall expected to be covered by revenue believed to be on the way. It’s the first of two major hurdles facing the board—the next big step will be to address last year’s deficit of $2.8 million. On Tuesday, the board of education approved several steps toward reducing the first challenge, and the trustees did it without including the potential sale of a Queensborough property the district owns. The land has been contentious among trustees. In his original proposal to reduce the deficit, superintendent John Woudzia suggested the sale could produce $450,000 for the district. But Tuesday, the board decided discussion about the property should be behind closed doors to protect any possible future negotiations. please see NexT, a9

Centre’s theme will be Life on the River continued from frOnt page

Although there is minimal evidence of it currently, Chadwick says the facility’s overall decor theme will be Life on the River, using natural colours. A long hallway atrium that runs like a spine across the facility will be a major example of this. Another hall has been dedicated for an illustrated history of the community centre. The exterior will feature a 14-inch channel for rainwater running 14 feet down the side of the building and into a basin with mosaic tile. The new centre’s gem will likely be the 2,500-square-foot fitness centre on the second floor, with floor to ceiling windows offering outstanding views of Ryall Park,

Port Royal and the New Westminster mainland. Along with a bunch of new equipment, the fitness area will feature an acoustic floating floor of one-inch rubber, two inches of concrete and 3/4-inch plywood isolated from the ceiling below it. The floor will absorb all the noise and bumps from being heard and felt below in the administration offices. And on the south side of the fitness area is a large patio overlooking the Megan’s Place playground and the tennis courts that could be used for activities such as outdoor yoga. Below the patio will be the day care. Although the Port Coquitlam Child Care Society had been chosen to be the provider, it has withdrawn because of other projects,

so another request for proposals will be issued, says Chadwick. “We’ve had lots of interest since that time.” The library, which will have a children’s section and WiFi connections, will be open Tuesday to Saturday, but a portion of it will be available for other activities during off-hours. Chadwick talks about all the flexibility being built into the centre. When they aren’t being used for programs, there are several areas of various sizes that can be rented out for functions, including two with commercial kitchens. Much of the original building is also being renovated, including a new roof envelope and a Wreck Room for tots that can be rented out for kids’ parties. Since construction began, the gym

has become a mega-storeroom while the centre’s staff have moved temporarily to different areas several times. Currently everyone is in half of the old banquet area with desks crammed together and heat being supplied by small portables. “By the time we get into the new digs some of us will have been moved nine times,” says Chadwick. “I have to tell you it’s only as challenging as you make it to be. The staff has been amazing.” That doesn’t mean they’re not excited about it all coming to an end this spring with the first event scheduled to be the annual Queensweep Earth Day on April 21, while the big opener will likely be the children’s festival June 22.

HSA to anchor new Brewery District building Major health union to own and occupy 27,000 square feet for offices and training

employees will occupy one floor while a training facility, which expects to attract about 80 visitors on a regular basis, will make up the other floor. HSA president Reid Johnson said in an interview the union has been searching for a space that’s larger and more functional than its current office near the Joyce SkyTrain station in Vancouver, which often requires them to go off-site to for training and meetings. “We ran out of functional space about five years ago,” said Johnson. When it went looking to move out of the spot they’ve been in since 1998, the union sought a location close to SkyTrain as well as one it could own instead

of leasing. “New Westminster is kind of an up-and-coming area, and it’s one of many we looked at throughout the Lower Grant Granger Mainland, but Wesgroup ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com offered to build us a custom Health Sciences Association built building and then we get of British Columbia, a union to own the land,” said Johnson. with 16,000 members, will He pointed out not having to be the anchor tenant in the deal with strata fees or paying Brewery District’s third hotels for meeting space and building. catering will “save us a pile of Wesgroup, the project’s dough.” developer, has applied to the Johnson said HSA’s search city for a development permit only found three locations to build a two-storey 27,000 that met their requirements square foot building on the of proximity to SkyTrain and triangular slice of land where sustainability, and “this was the Brunette Avenue meets East best of them.” Columbia Street. “This is the one that had The offices with its 100 everything we needed at a reasonable price with a really good developer.” Wesgroup says the building will have “a familiar industrial urban vocabulary with brickand-steel detailing,” similar to that of the first two buildings on the site.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Gathering steam The Idle No More movement continues to pick up steam. But is all the drumming and chanting doing any good? A Canadian Press HarrisDecima poll done earlier this month found that only four in 10 Canadians is sympathetic to the goals and aims of Idle No More. But the same poll found that fewer than four in 10 Canadians were even familiar with the goals and aims of the movement. To us, that’s a big disconnect and a sign that supporters aren’t piquing the average citizen’s interest with demonstrations, sit-ins and hunger strikes. That doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of work to do to resolve systemic problems in the relationship between First Nations and government. Getting key players on both sides to sit down and talk about those issues is a good start. Assembly of First Nations national chief Shawn Atleo, who met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Jan. 11, says his organization will pressure the feds to continue working toward improving that relationship. Atleo and Harper met a year ago in what the Prime Minister’s Office called “a historic meeting.” In optimistic, yet vague fashion, the government titled the meeting Strengthening Our Relationship – Unlocking Our Potential. No doubt, work has since been done to clarifying agreed-upon goals around governance, access to education, community selfsufficiency and other areas. Idle No More emerged, nonetheless, which makes one question whether Harper and company were paying lip service to First Nations last January. Despite the seeming disconnect with the majority of Canadians, the grassroots protest movement has restoked the fire in First Nations and is slowly getting nonaboriginals to pay more attention to grassroots aboriginal issues. —Black Press

Getting on board the green wagon It’s inevitable. Introduce any new program or change to people’s routines and conveniences, and the complaining starts. Beginning last month, Abbotsford homeowners are expected to separate their garbage into recyclables, compostable waste, and trash that can’t be recycled or composted. Composting/yard waste is picked up weekly. Trash gets emptied every other week. According to some, this is impractical, unworkable, inconvenient, confusing, unhealthy, and downright just a major pain in the can. To them, I say with a smile, oh put a lid on it. We are faced with the same critical issue as every other urban community around the globe. What to do with all the trash we create? Enter the concept of recycling – something hardly on the radar 20 years ago, other than pop and beer cans. Yet here we are today, converting a monumental amount of former trash into

Andrew Holota usable products and materials. But yard and food waste still make up as much or more than half of the remaining trash stream. And as we fill up massive holes in the ground with millions of tons of garbage, or send it into the atmosphere as particulate matter and nasty chemicals, it’s obvious the next step is to remove the compostables. Other cities have had residential composting for years. Ottawa, for instance, went the residential composting route about four years ago. Calgary started in 2012. Vancouver climbed on board the green train with a pilot project in 2011. It is now using green bins, which are the size of a large trash can. They, too, are emptied every other week. Surrey went a similar route

last year as well. The city issued under-sink compost collection buckets, as Abbotsford did. Surrey uses a combination of black, blue and green bins – distributed by the city. Abbotsford didn’t provide those, irking some residents, who think that ought to have been a no-brainer. Yet in Surrey, one of the main complaints has been ... the bins! Too big. Too heavy. Too smelly. Too complex. And then there’s the griping common to virtually all composting programs – storing food waste under the sink. Too messy. Too smelly. Too much bother. Too expensive (to buy compostable liners for the buckets). I’d prefer the bin system. I can’t quite grasp the concept of putting recyclables into a special blue bag, that also has to be recycled. But this composting program? In my family, it works just fine. We don’t buy plastic liners for the little bucket. It’s already plastic, for heaven’s sake! Empty it once a day, and wash it out, and there’s no smell. Trash pick-up only every two weeks? Separate all the

compostables out of the kitchen garbage, and it’s amazing how little actual trash remains. Smelly in the summer? Could be. We may have to freeze the smelly stuff for a few days, or mix it well with yard waste. Is it inconvenient? Compared to throwing everything into a few cans and forgetting about it at the curb, you bet. Does it require some effort? Sure. Looking after the environment generally does. And that’s the point – we need to do this – and a little willingness can make it work. Recall the initial transition from plastic grocery bags to reusable cloth bags. That was met with howls of anguish and derision, too. And yet, look at a line of grocery shoppers and you’ll see many of them with their own cloth bags. Oh sure, there are no doubt some folks who are still in a fuss over that concept, too. But while they’re still holding their breath and turning blue, the rest of us are getting green.

COMMENT

City blind to benefits theatre group generated As the person in the direct line of fire until nine months prior to when the City of New Westminster regained possession of the Columbia (ex-Burr) Theatre in 2006 by locking out the The Raymond Burr Performing Arts Society and changing the locks, I take issue with the constant references to the Burr having been a “money pit” for the taxpayers of New Westminster. City Coun. Chuck Puchmayr’s recent performance has prompted me to write in response to his gross misrepresentation of the financial facts. When arguing how much the Burr had cost the taxpayers of New Westminster, Mr. Puchmayr neglected to mention the following: For the first three years of occupancy, the society paid the city $20,000 per year in taxes in addition to the peppercorn rent of $10, for a total of $60,030. What is also never mentioned is that for a long period the city refused any assistance for repairs or upkeep to the envelope of their 75-year-old building that had been badly neglected by the previous owners and was in dire need of assistance. For example, we frequently had to climb a dangerous, wooden ladder into the roof space to spread tarpaulins and place buckets to prevent the rain that was coming through the roof from collecting and causing the ceiling below to fall onto patrons’ heads. It took more than five years for the city to do anything about that. Meantime, the Burr Society fundraised and did all it could to upgrade and maintain the interior of the building, creating a fully functional live theatre while dealing with leaky gas ranges, dirt and mass storage of items belonging to the previous tenants. Tenants who, incidentally, were part of the original deal but who did a “moonlight flit” and left the society without the $48,000/year rent to which they had agreed, and which was part of the original deal the Burr Society made with the city. So there’s $144,000 lost income over three years for the Burr Society through no fault of their own. Has the city made any attempt to recover this money? Of the oft-quoted $660,000

“given” to the society, over $325,000 was not given but was used to pay for those highly necessary repairs to the roof and HVAC system of the building—which the city owned. Any landlord is required to keep their building habitable, and it should be noted that the repairs were only carried out in 2005—five years after the society moved in and it took some effort to persuade the city to do them. The side of the equation never quoted by city council or staff is the $1.2 million—yes, million—that the operations of the Burr Society within the building brought into the local economy. And that doesn’t take into account the amount of money spent elsewhere in restaurants, pubs, gas stations, parking etc. Or the employment given to a full and part time staff of six, not to mention the employment given to theatre artists or the volunteer opportunities and social aspects of the hugely popular Burr. Nor does it address the pride the people of New Westminster had in such a thriving, popular theatre company and its education programme. Several Burr Theatre School alumni have gone on to careers in theatre and the good work that was done there can be attested to in the letters of recommendation I still have. Also, 75 per cent of patrons of the Burr came from outside the City of New Westminster— think of all the benefits having so many theatregoers—over 100,000 in four years—came into your community to spend money instead of going to Vancouver. Has council and staff considered any of this? So—councillors and staff— do your homework and get out the calculator. The figures I quote are readily available in the records and most are your figures in any case. When you add up the financial information available, you will see that you actually gave less than $350,000 in grant monies in order to generate $1.2 million. The bottom line is that your city’s net gain was close to a million dollars. And now—you’re bickering over $14,000? Shame on you all.

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION Re: City to slash industrial taxes (NewsLeader, Jan. 23) New Westminster city council made a good decision lowering the tax rate for industrial properties. Starting to level the field for business investment was overdue. This is a step forward to having more residents being able to work near where they live. More is still to be done on competitive taxation, to put to rest New West’s reputation of having higher taxes than nearby cities. An increase in the number of residential properties without an increase in businesses eventually puts a city’s finances out of whack. It has been shown that increasing the numbers of residents brings a net increase to city costs, while adding more businesses brings a net increase to city revenues. Keep up the momentum.

GREAT FOR STRIP CLUB’S BUSINESS Re: Paramount owner ‘blindsided’ by petition (NewsLeader, Jan. 23) It is amusing to take in the soap opera surrounding the Paramount Gentlemen’s Club. Of course the students were both right as well as wrong in their demonstration denouncing the club. Right in the sense of Constitutional privilege exercise, but wrong in the sense that in a consumer society, demonstrations such as theirs only tend to promote notoriety and are as such counterproductive. Paramount owner Steven Mountford’s claims of being “hurt” can only be taken with a grain of salt because in a scenario like this, his business is not really hurt. In fact, the “notoriety” can only create more business for his club, if only because people are naturally curious about these things. The demonstration was worth more to him because of the free publicity. His open invitation to talk it out with the students did not hurt either. Paramount dancers can only hope they do this more often. Norman Ostonal New Westminster

Shop makes time for hobbies Mario Bartel

Pauly Benton spends so much time running Westley Military Surplus, he doesn’t have any left over for his hobbies. So he opened a hobby shop. Located at 9 Sixth St., just around the corner from the khaki-and-camo emporium he’s run for two years, Pauly’s Hobbies is Benton’s excuse to hang out amidst his beloved plastic military model kits, scale train and slot car racing layouts, and model rockets. It’s also a beacon in the darkness for downtown New Westminster hobbyists who haven’t had a store to feed their passion since the demise of Three Floors Hobby Shop and Pacific Scale Railway. Benton had already rented the space that used to be home to Scholar’s Quay Antiques to store stock for his surplus shop when he decided MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER to dedicate the storefront to Pauly Benton takes his slot cars for a test ride in the track he has set up in the hobbies. back of his new hobby shop, Pauly’s Hobbies, on Sixth Street.

Next on the agenda: Last year’s $2.8m deficit with two more holdovers with New Westminster’s share anticipated to be $184,000. The district is also hoping its private business company, which markets services internationally, will be able to contribute about $200,000. Combined with the holdovers, that would be enough to cover the shortfall left on the table Tuesday. To help reduce the deficit, the board decided to postpone paying its $250,000 share of a new skate park and redeveloped Massey Theatre when a new high school is eventually built, but only until the next fiscal year. “We were being conservative in trying to put that money away already, but the high school site is several years away from being built,” said trustee Jonina Campbell. The board nixed a proposal to slash May

Some trustees have suggested the land be retained to either house a new school board office and/or works yard, or be used to pay for those facilities, and not to reduce the deficit. Trustee Casey Cook said too much has already been publicly said by trustees, including himself, about the property which could jeopardize a future sale. A big slice to the deficit budget was reduced quite easily with the board putting $596,000 in provincial holdover money it recently received directly toward the shortfall. Another $709,000 was found in staff adjustments, but the board didn’t go into much detail, citing personnel confidentiality for most of it. It is expecting the Ministry of Education to provide districts across the province

Day funding from $22,000 to $6,000. “This is an item that needs to stay off the list, but we should pursue outside funding for it,” said trustee Lisa Graham. Added trustee David Phelan, “This seems to be a short-term solution. My concern is if we remove this funding it will have long-term consequences.” The trustees also held off on a proposal to reduce its use of outside consultants for human resources, a move that would have saved $15,000. Proposals to reduce transportation costs for athletics by $5,000 and the same amount for field trips were also postponed for future debate. “This would have a negative impact on athletics and student activities,” said Phelan. Campbell, a teacher in Richmond, wondered why the district was

Downtown parking in the spotlight Strategies on the table at open house in February Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Boosting the price of metered parking in Downtown New Westminster is one strategy being proposed by the city to better manage parking. A report presented to council Monday states that a change in the price and time limits for on-street parking could encourage drivers wanting to stay a while to park in existing off-street lots instead. That would not only fill up the existing structures but also free up spaces for short-term stops. The report and the suggestions are part of a Downtown Parking Study currently underway, which is now looking at short- and long-term strategies to achieve the city’s vision for parking Downtown. The report said New Westminster’s meter rates are at the low end of the scale compared to other downtowns, and the daily and monthly parking rates are also low in relation to other downtowns. It added that at the current rates there is not enough revenue from long-term, monthly parkers to support off-street parking including

the Front Street Parkade. Weekday demand Downtown is well below the available supply, the report said, except in the Quayside area, where 85 per cent of the spaces are occupied on weekdays and close to 100 per cent on weekends. It noted less than 70 per cent of the parking supply in the rest of the Downtown is used. That figure is even lower for the parkade. “Occupancy for the Front Street Parkade’s 750 stalls is 50 per cent on a weekday and 20 per cent on the weekends, with weekday demand dropping sharply in the late afternoon. The demand is currently highest at the western end of the parkade on the covered parking deck,” said the report. The Downtown supply “well exceeds the existing demand in spite of a relatively low cost.” In its potential strategies, the report says partial or full removal of the parkade should be discussed. The report also suggests the city could lighten parking requirements in new buildings to avoid creating excessive unused parking. The next step is to present the background and potential strategies for discussion at an open house in early February, but no date has been confirmed.

Apparently the cost to the Royal Canadian Mint to make and distribute a penny now exceeds its value. But what of the penny’s worth in our society, and what of the many robust references the penny has given to us? Think of some of those connections as we mourn the lowly penny’s demise: Pretty penny, bad penny; penny saved is a penny earned; the penny drops; penny arcade; penny stocks; find a lucky penny; penny loafers and so on. Or in artistic terms: the Three Penny Opera comes to mind. This is a Kurt Weill opera which spawned the well-known and oft-covered jazz standard, Mack the Knife, as recorded variously by Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and more recently by Michael Bublé. All of this musical art derived One Source NewWesterAd.pdf from the lowly penny!

Rick Carswell Artists and coins have a long connection and history in our country. For example, the 1967 Centennial penny featured an image of a rock dove in flight with a maple branch in its beak. The famous Canadian artist, Alex Colville, designed this image. Many versions of the Queen’s profile and image have been contributed by other Canadian artists too numerous to mention but all have some version of maple leaves, our proud symbol in Canada. Where will the maple leaf be seen after the penny is dropped? Think about it: sale items won’t be listed at $9.99, or $29.99 ever again as rounding will now occur to the nearest five cents. 1/30/13 10:47:59 AM Without the penny we will

lose the meaning of “$1.49 Day, Tuesday…”, the Woodwards jingle penned by New Westminster’s very own Tony Antonias, a lifetime member of the New Westminster Arts Council. According to the Canadian Mint, side by side all of the pennies minted since 1858 would circle the globe 16 times! Useful trivia, but the Desjardins Group actually estimates there are 20 billion pennies laying in piggy banks and jars. That’s a lot of coin, so consider this: The arts and artists in Canada knew how to celebrate the penny. It’s time to celebrate the arts and give your pennies back. Think about donating your pennies to a charity of your choice. The arts are a good start! We’ll call them Pennies From Heaven! Rick Carswell is president of the Arts Council of New Westminster.

‘You get wrapped up in it’ ⫸

continued from page a8

His wife was on board—as long as he got the hundreds of plastic model kits he’s built over the years out of their North Vancouver home. Two weeks later he opened the doors. Even in this day when military battles are more likely to be enacted in computerized first-person shooting games and anyone with a game console hooked to their TV can compete for the Formula 1 world championship, Benton is convinced there’s still a market for hobbies that require time, dexterity, patience and attention to detail. “There’s so much satisfaction building a model,” says Benton, 53. “You feel like you’ve accomplished something.” But not everyone has the space to erect a train or slot car racing layout on expansive sheets of plywood. Or even a workspace upon which they can glue together the hundreds of tiny pieces of molded plastic that can comprise a typical scale model of a tank or ship. So Benton has dedicated a back room of his shop to give the city’s hobbyists space to indulge their passions. They’ll be able to work on their projects on work benches, using professional grade tools like air compressors, soldering irons and Exacto knives. He hopes it will become a kind of refuge. Working on hobbies “forces you to slow down,” says Benton. “You get wrapped up in it.” And for the cost of going to a movie, a hobbyist can get a week’s worth of evenings meticulously piecing together a model car. “There’s way more of a challenge to building a model than doing things on a computer,” says Benton. “There’s no restart button.”

Assault not a home invasion: NWPS New Westminster police don’t believe an assault in an Eighth Street apartment Tuesday that sent a man to hospital with non-life threatening injuries was a home invasion. The department’s major crimes unit has taken over investigation of the incident which occurred in a building at 411 Eighth St. just after 11 p.m. Sgt. Diana McDaniel said investigators are seeking four male suspects who took $400 in cash before the victim was able to call 911.

Woman scammed A New Westminster woman has been bilked of more than $6,000 by an online dating scam. Police say after the New West resident started a profile on a website she got a message from another member claiming to be a major in the U.S. army in Afghanistan. After communicating for about a week, the man asked her to send money so he could visit her in Canada during his leave and

he’d pay her back later. She ended up sending seven Western Union transactions over the period of about a month to Kentucky, Georgia and Nigeria, but none of the names was the name of the man. The woman didn’t become suspicious until she saw a newspaper article on the top 10 scams of 2012, and then found proof the email addresses she had been corresponding with were associated with African scam artists.

ParkLane’s waterfront River District wins international award

Setting a Gold standard ParkLane Homes is celebrating River District’s Gold win for Best Presentation Centre at The Nationals, an awards program presented by the National Association of Home Builders. The awards are the largest of their kind in North America and include submissions from North and South America and Asia. “We are proud to accept The Nationals’ Best Presentation Centre Gold Award for River District Centre,” says ParkLane’s Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei. “This unique and innovative Centre is transforming River District into an animated and vibrant place with a real sense of community

only two years into construction.” River District is located on southeast Vancouver’s waterfront. Once completed, it will cover 130 acres and include 7,000 homes, shops, restaurants, schools, daycares and parks. The River District Centre holds the presentation centre, Romer’s Burger Bar and a community centre. “River District is a unique project, not just to the immediate community, but to all of Vancouver,” says Taddei. “To receive international accolades puts both River District and Vancouver in the spotlight.” For more information, visit riverdistrict.ca or call 604-431-5594.

surrounding area is just a few minutes away. Education is available at Douglas College’s David Lam campus and at the elementary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood. When it’s some outdoor exercise you’re in the mood for, Town Centre Park and Lafarge Lake are right outside, perfect for a run or cycle, and if golf is more your speed, Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club is a few minutes away as well. The Evergreen Cultural Centre features travelling art exhibits, plays and other

cultural activities, for those nights when you are in the mood for a bit of culture. The homes at Tamarack are movein ready, which is a great feature for potential buyers. “You can walk through a home that you can actually purchase,” Liljedahl says. Homes at Tamarack start at $279,900. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com/community/ tamarack or call 604-552-3003.

Move-in ready homes in Coquitlam

Finding a perfect view at Polygon’s Tamarack By Kerry Vital

Polygon Homes is building on its reputation for quality homes with Tamarack, its newest condominum development in Coquitlam’s Dayanee Springs community. With amazing features, a convenient location and plenty of amenities, it’s easy to imagine calling Tamarack home. “It is literally almost impossible to choose my favourite part,” says sales manager Theresa Liljedahl says. “There are so many perfect things about it.” One of those perfect things is the amazing natural views from every home. Depending on where you are in the building, your new home will either look out at Mount Baker or at Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain. “The views are fantastic,” Liljedahl says. Each home features an outdoor balcony or patio, with some groundlevel homes including a private yard. Even when the weather outside isn’t so great, the huge windows in your home will let the natural light pour in. Inside, polished granite countertops and flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the kitchen is complemented by the stainless-steel appliances and warm wood laminate flooring, which continues into the other living areas. A full-height pantry is offered in some homes, which adds more storage space to a kitchen that is already wonderful. A breakfast bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or gathering around during a dinner party is also an integral part of most of the homes. The luxury continues in the spa-like bathrooms, with their gorgeous marble or quartz countertops and laminate cabinetry. Most homes include double sinks, which are a masterstroke of convenience for couples, and a deep soaker tub in the ensuite. A ceramic tile tub and shower surround with mosaic glass tile accents is clean and elegant, while the full-width vanity mirror is complemented by soothing lighting that will never put you in a bad light. The two-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with thoughtfully designed floorplans that are great for couples, young families and roommates. “Polygon can design a layout that is very attractive,” Lilejedahl says. “They’ve perfected the plans to give you the most usable space.” Tamarack is the final phase in Polygon’s Dayanee Springs community, and homeowners will be able to take

The club includes an outdoor pool, whirlpool spa and kids club, a furnished terrace with a large barbecue, a fully equipped fitness studio and a great room that is perfect for entertaining with its stone-clad fireplace, lounge seating and billiard table. It also holds a pet spa area, screening room and many other things. “We’ve had weddings there, bridal showers, everything,” says Liljehdahl. “You don’t have to entertain at home if you have a group of people over.” If you want to venture off the property, shopping and dining at Coquitlam Centre mall and its
