Paul hyland of the new westminster Police department says anti-theft devices and better security systems in newer cars have reduced auto thefts, but people still have to be vigilant about not leaving their belongings in their vehicles to prevent break-ins.

A snapshot of New West crime today Visible crime declined in recent years, and in some cases, has moved indoors Grant Granger

When Paul Hyland first hit New Westminster’s streets as a constable in 1995 it wasn’t a pretty sight.

Drugs were openly dealt and consumed, and property crime was rampant to fuel the illicit trade.

Residents felt uncomfortable walking around their own Downtown.

Since then crime has dropped

“There’s a much bigger issue there than just homelessness,” said Hyland.

Helping people who are homeless goes a long way to reducing policing and society costs in general, he said.

Drug dealing hasn’t disappeared, though.

Instead of being outside and overt, now it’s inside and covert.

New Westminster wants to work with Larco Investments to create a scaled-back plan for its vacant riverfront property.

The land between the River Market and Westminster Pier Park has been sitting vacant for decades.

Approval for a rezoning application from Larco was first given by council in 1996 and development permit was given the green light in 2005.

The proposal on the books calls for five highrises with 911 residential units. Since it is on the riverbank and over top of water, multi-storey parking lots with more than 1,200 stalls would have been required.

Larco also agreed to provide several pedestrian and vehicle connections between Downtown and the waterfront.

Larco has hesitated on going through with the proposal because of the high cost of developing over water and of the obligations it committed to at that time. In addition, since then many things have changed on the waterfront.

BIA may be OK with parkade demo The chief concern is that there’s adequate parking for shoppers Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

If the preconditions outlined in the draft Downtown parking strategy adopted by council Monday are met, the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area (BIA) may be OK with tearing down the western portion of the Front Street parkade.

While BIA executive director Kendra Johnston said she hasn’t had a chance to speak to all her members to get their feedback, they have seen the draft reports and none of its recommendations were a surprise.

If the preconditions are met then demolition of half the parkade is worth talking about, she said.

“It does require more

discussion,” said Johnston.

“We’re concerned with parking as a whole for Downtown New Westminster not specifically the parkade. But tearing down some of the structure while ensuring parking for [Downtown businesses] is something we could be amenable to.”

The preconditions put forward in the study by Urban Systems Ltd., are: • there is adequate parking opportunities near the to-bedemolished section to support local businesses; • an effective connection to the waterfront is built in conjunction with removing the western portion; and • enough funding is acquired to make it happen.

Coun. Jonathan Coté said he believes those conditions can be easily attained and Monday’s decision is a big step forward

The two-level, western portion of the Front Street Parkade could be demolished in the short term if certain conditions are met.

to the partial removal of the parkade.

“It is one of the big pieces that will really help the downtown

connect with the waterfront and realize that connection. The parkade is not the only barrier, but it will open people’s eyes to

the historic Downtown and Front Street, and there is value once you remove the western part of the structure,” said Coté. “It’s about how those preconditions get interpreted.”

Coté said the eventual outcome will play out over the coming months as a more defined timeline and detailed cost estimates emerge, because council and the community are going to want more clarity on it.

The study will go through one more consultation before it is formally adopted by council.

He envisions that over the next 20 years the parking situation will evolve to where the entire structure would become obsolete.

Coun. Bill Harper said the report’s analysis shows there is adequate parking Downtown to justify taking down part of the parkade.

City wants revised plan to meet current vision ⫸

Those include the opening of Westminster Pier Park, the abandoning of North Fraser Perimeter Road—which would have involved Front Street–by TransLink and changes in community values. On top of that, council on Monday adopted a draft parking strategy that could see half of the Front Street parkade removed in the next few years and the rest of it within 20.

On Monday, council agreed with a staff report recommending the city consult with Larco on creating a new concept.

“It’s not talking about having no development there at all.

It’s looking at some significant reduction on the amount of units

and density placed on the City administrator Lisa site,” said Coun. Jonathan Spitale said as soon as Coté on Tuesday. “That staff have some sense of scale of development Larco’s interest then it will doesn’t quite fit with how be brought back to council Downtown has been for consideration. developing over the last “I think there’s a winfive years.” win there,” Spitale said.

Bill Harper felt five “We would like to get River Market,” said Coté. high rises would have effectively

created a wall.

“It’s a logical next step and I’m really hoping Larco will be sympathetic to this and continue to consider redevelopment, but I’m not 100 per cent sure that is going to take place,” Harper said.

Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area executive director Kendra Johnston said it’s good council is being proactive in trying to get something going for the property.

“That lot’s been sitting there empty for many years and slowly deteriorating. It’s certainly part of the problem that Downtown and the Columbia Street business district has in getting cut off from the [riverfront],” said Johnston. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

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:

Clear the air Last Friday’s 21-4 vote by Metro Vancouver’s board to oppose a proposed new coalexport terminal in Surrey is the strongest manifestation yet of a groundswell of public opinion against the terminal and the increased coal-train traffic that would result.

But one should be cautious of over-emotional arguments and grandstanding by members of organizations that have no real power to affect the outcome.

It is notable that Lower Mainland cities are asked to accept something that some U.S. cities are rejecting.

And it may well be time, as opponents assert, for the country as a whole to draw the line environmentally and voice resistance to fossil fuels, such as thermal coal.

However, by dragging in too many non-germane arguments against this specific plan, opponents run the risk of devaluing legitimate objections, making them all seem spurious by association.

Yes, more trains add noise and limit access to otherwise seemingly idyllic communities.

And yes, coal-powered energy in China leaves behind a huge carbon footprint, with its pollution felt a continent away.

But worrying about such hyperlocal or excessively broad issues is not the mandate of Port Metro Vancouver as the financially selfsufficient port authority serving this area.

In reality, imported coal has been handled in B.C. for decades with far less stringent controls.

The coal at the proposed terminal would not be piled in the open, and port, coal industry and union reps remain adamant that coal dust can be suppressed so that it poses no risk.

It behooves those who doubt this to offer even more convincing proof, rather than simply blowing smoke by resorting to easily dismissed emotional appeals.

Port debate has many sides

M

etro Vancouver has waded into the debate over the export of Wyoming coal from Fraser Surrey Docks.

Unlike some past occasions, this is an issue that actually calls for Metro Vancouver input, as the regional district has responsibility for air quality.

There are many perspectives on this coal-export plan, which as noted in this space several months ago has a number of peculiar features.

The most curious is a plan to ship it by rail to Fraser Surrey Docks and then by barge to Texada Island, where it will be unloaded and then loaded again onto larger ocean-going ships.

Fraser Surrey Docks is capable of handling ocean-going ships — up to a certain draft.

Is it not possible to load coal directly onto these ships in Surrey, even if the ships are somewhat smaller than those that load coal at Roberts Bank?

Wouldn’t that save a substantial amount of money?

And thus far, I have heard nothing about what Texada Island residents feel about

Frank Bucholtz being a link in the coal-shipping network. Historically, residents of the islands off the B.C. coast have been among the most passionate defenders of the natural environment.

At the Metro Vancouver hearing, which took more than six hours, the arguments basically broke into three categories.

One group of opponents are against any fossil-fuel extraction, and see trying to shut this proposal down as one step towards eventually stopping oil and coal extraction of all kinds.

In some ways, they are the most hypocritical, because each of them use fossil fuels every day in one form or another.

There are not enough alternatives available at this point in time.

However, their arguments about coal being used to produce electricity in China and other

LE DER

Asian countries are important and relevant. Coal-fired electric plants are the most polluting type of plants, and China produces far more electricity this way than any other country.

The second group are residents who are directly affected by the proposed coal port. Some live in areas like New Westminster and White Rock, and are concerned about coal dust and increased train traffic in their communities.

A large pile of coal at the port will certainly have some effect on neighbouring homes. It will be impossible to completely eliminate coal dust.

As some people pointed out, coal dust can travel a fair distance.

I’ve seen it on the exterior of homes in Cloverdale.

These homes were more than a kilometre from the rail line, which trains use to haul coal to Roberts Bank.

The third group are those who favour the proposal – mostly from the business community and the port itself.

The port is under-utilized and needs additional economic activity.

Part of that is due to the restrictions on the size of ships that can call there.

Additional port jobs would be good-paying ones and would be a welcome boost to the Surrey economy.

Others from that side of the argument have concerns about B.C. environmental organizations trying to shut down any controversial exports.

The anti-development forces have been stacked up against oil pipeline proposals, particularly Northern Gateway, and the NDP flip-flop in the provincial election on the Kinder Morgan pipeline is widely assumed to have cost the party a victory.

While Metro Vancouver has now voted against the coalexport plan, ultimately it will be up to Port Metro Vancouver to go ahead.

The port has heard from the various interest groups and now must decide whether to proceed or not.

It won’t be an easy decision.

COMMENT Coal trains are very dirty indeed

Homeless outreacH is vital Re: Council grills Fraser Health over cut (NewsLeader, June 19) The elimination of the program funded by Fraser Health Authority (FHA) since 2003 cuts community outreach services in New West by 50 per cent and results in the New Westminster Police becoming the primary call site when residents see a homeless person in need. Service is reduced to a single staff member four days a week, preventing outreach to homeless people who may be most challenged.

The majority of homeless people are mentally ill, cope with addictions, have compromised health and are marginalized. Their need is a warm bed, food, support and assistance to access a wide variety of services, including mental health and addiction services. Outreach workers are often the first contact to bridge people from a life of chaos to services and housing that bring them greater stability and out of homelessness.

The longer a person is on the streets, the longer it takes to develop a trusting relationship that enables this transition. The City of New Westminster has

quiet asphalt (on Royal Avenue) they used by the Golden Ears bridge to smooth out the road and dampen the sound, I disagree with the idea of getting trucks off Royal Avenue or limiting times of access.

I also own an apartment on Royal Avenue, and I take the view of a citizen not only of New West, but of B.C. regarding trucks and transport. Trucks follow the fastest and cheapest route to their destinations to save fuel, which also reduces costs of consumer goods and reduces pollution. While limiting or eliminating truck traffic on Royal may reduce emissions and noise locally it would increase emissions and costs of consumer goods in B.C. The trucks would inevitably find another route through Metro Vancouver that would take longer, burn more fuel and drive up the prices of what they are hauling.

Therefore, I join Ms. Trinidad and add my consent for the city to use my tax dollars to fix this heavily rutted and bumpy road.

Did you ever consider that if we did paint the parkade we may attract actual long-term businesses that just might be interested in setting up shop in a city with a bit of self respect?

Perhaps people might actually use it for what it was intended rather than avoiding it like the plague.

provided significant leadership in addressing local homelessness through fostering partnerships and services that demonstrate best practices.

Housing and homelessness are critical determinants of health most effectively addressed through an integrated response that involves every level of government, including health, as well as the public.

For Fraser Health to back away from a proven, best-practice strategy that is cost effective is regressive.

Lookout continues to partner with FHA in supportive housing, for which we are grateful. But Fraser Health needs to return to being a funding partner in the battle to end homelessness.

As a retired railway conductor, and someone who used to ride in a caboose (remember those?) behind coal trains on a regular basis, I will personally attest that coal trains are very dirty.

They lose a great deal of dust en-route, wherever they travel.

And certainly the contents of that dust will permeate the surrounding environment.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is a fact.

The plan to run dirty coal trains from the U.S. to Fraser Surrey Docks, and then barged it through our delicate coastal waters to Texada Island, and then on to China—this is such a bad idea. Why isn’t everyone rallying against it? The sale of the worst of the fossil fuels to China should not even be allowed. It’s only corporate greed launching this whole transaction. No one but the corporations will benefit from this.

‘It’s really difficult to oppose’ ⫸

from PAGE A5

Graham pointed out the province abandoned targeted funding to give districts more flexibility in dealing with their operating budgets. But with seven deficits in 10 years, said Graham, there’s not a lot of confidence in the district’s handling of that money from staff or parents.

Graham opposed amending her motion, but still voted for the diluted version.

“Of course I’m going to advocate for more [special education] funding, what fool would not do that? However it was a greatly diminished motion,” said Graham.

A slew of other motions were also passed by the board, including two by trustee MaryAnn Mortensen.

She proposed schools be required to

add the extra minutes needed to make up the educational time lost for introducing a twoweek spring break to either the beginning or end of the school day.

She had objected to two elementary schools, as well as New Westminster secondary, altering their schedules to reduce lunch hours, recess and breaks between classes.

The board passed her motion although it exempted NWSS from the requirement.

The board also approved Mortensen’s motion calling for annual district committees, board and liaison appointments be effective from September to August instead of January to December.

It also called for the board to have a committee meeting before September each year to determine the appointments so all the trustees and

senior management can participate in the process.

“It gives transparency built along the lines of fairness and equity,” said trustee Casey Cook.

He wasn’t surprised his motion calling for trustee and senior management expenses to be posted monthly on the district website instead of being declared in the annual Statement of Financial

Information required by the province also passed.

“It’s the kind of thing that people may not like it but once it’s on a table to vote against it’s really difficult to oppose,” said Cook.

Another motion he made requiring the expenses trustees claim for their work with the district’s business company be declared separately from their board expenses was

It was the mid1970s and a friend invited teacher Betty Harrington to come to a meeting of the New Westminster chapter of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO).

It was a sisterhood that promoted educational opportunities for women, and since she was a teacher, and so was her mother,

it was a cause she could get behind. She stuck around for the good works and the friendship among the members. Harrington liked it so much she became the chapter’s president. Six times.

“You wouldn’t drag me away from it. It’s such a good thing,” says Harrington.

This Sunday, the chapter celebrates 100 years of its good work with a ‘Strawberry Tea’ at the Vancouver Golf

Club in Coquitlam.

Although the sisterhood was founded in 1869 in Iowa, Chapter B (Chapter A in British Columbia was in Vancouver) was established in New Westminster in June 1913.

Maude Welsh, who resided in the house where La Rustica restaurant is now located, was its first president.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING PROPOSED PHASE 1 COMMERCIAL REZONING SHAPE Properties will be hosting a public information meeting on Wednesday June 26, 2013 between the hours of 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm in the Brentwood Town Centre food court.

The first phase of redevelopment encompasses approximately 8 acres of land on the south west corner of the property.

The purpose of the public information meeting is to give the community the opportunity to review concepts for the first phase of the Brentwood Town Centre redevelopment.

The proposed first phase is consistent with the Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan, which was advanced through Burnaby Rezoning Application #11-22 to Public Hearing on August 28, 2012.

PROPOSED PHASE ONE

The first phase of development envisions the creation of a new dynamic outdoor commercial centre, public plaza, and residential development, integrated with the Brentwood SkyTrain Station and adjacent bus service. All parking is proposed to be underground within the first phase, with above ground public spaces being pedestrian oriented and fully accessible.

We invite you to attend this public information meeting to obtain further information on the Brentwood Phase I redevelopment proposal. It should be noted that this is not a Public Hearing. In future, the City of Burnaby would be holding Public Hearings for the rezonings related to the proposed Phase I redevelopment.

The public is invited to attend this open house to view information on the proposed development as well as provide comments.

TALK ABOUT THE PIPELINE R UTE HAVE Y UR SAY Join us in Burnaby to learn about the proposed pipeline route.

BURNABY ROUTING OPEN HOUSE June 27, 2013 DROP IN: 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm Executive Inn & Conference Centre 4201 Lougheed Highway We want to hear from you.

B.C. losing people to other provinces Tom Fletcher Black press

VICTORIA – More people continue to move from B.C. to other provinces than migrate west, according to the latest Statistics Canada estimates.

Quarterly Statistics Canada figures show a net loss of 1,611 people from B.C. to other provinces from January to March this year. That is the seventh straight quarter of net out-migration from B.C., with the last net increase of 73 people recorded in the AprilJune quarter of 2011.

In 2012, while B.C. was a net loser of about 7,000 in interprovincial movements, Alberta gained about 43,000 and Saskatchewan gained about 2,500 people.

NDP leader Adrian Dix said Wednesday the latest totals mean B.C. has lost a net 12,000 people to other provinces since Premier Christy Clark took over. Dix said the number of private sector jobs has declined since Clark launched her jobs plan, and her government continues to cut the budget for job skill training.

The PEO provides scholarships and bursaries to women. Although there are “Star Scholarships” for girls who have just finished high school, many of the women they have helped get an education have been out of school for a few years. Chapter B has developed a particularly strong relationship with students attending Douglas College’s New Westminster campus.

This past March, Harrington attended the graduation of Hiruth Mwandemere, who received a bachelor’s degree in psychiatric

nursing partially thanks to a $2,200 PEO continuing education bursary.

She is one of 38 to be recommended

by Chapter B for bursaries totaling $45,000.

“The need is important,” says Harrington. “Women deserve education and help.”

PEO also has an international peace scholarship for women from other countries where they can use their education to go back and help others get an education.

There are 6,000 local chapters in North America.

Dix said the NDP government of the 1990s saw an increase of 129,000 people in interprovincial migration, and during Gordon Campbell’s term, there was a net increase of 64,000.

Clark shrugged off the numbers Wednesday, saying B.C.’s overall population continues to grow.

B.C.’s rising total population is a result of international immigration, offset by the losses to other provinces by people moving within Canada.

loud and clear that people didn’t like it.”

The lone exception is Clark’s new deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, hired for the premier’s office after serving as deputy campaign manager for the B.C. Liberal election campaign.

Cadario will receive a salary of $195,148 to do the operations and policy roles formerly done by two people.

Dan Doyle, Clark’s chief of staff, remains at the same salary as Cadario. A government spokesman said Doyle never accepted any raise, but recommended the maximum for his position be increased to $230,000 to attract the best candidate for his successor.

The top rate for ministry chiefs of staff, formerly ministerial assistants, will remain at $94,500 a year.

The top rate for them was first increased to $105,000, then rolled back to $102,000

before being cancelled.

Five of the people appointed to those jobs have had raises cancelled.

NDP leader Adrian Dix, contacted in Kelowna where he is campaigning in a byelection where Clark hopes to win a seat, said the raises show the government is “tone deaf ” to the concerns of ordinary people.

Dix said the decision to scrap the raises is “the first victory for Carole Gordon,” the NDP candidate in the Westside-Kelowna byelection.

Gordon is running in the byelection called for July 10, after Clark was defeated by NDP candidate David Eby in a bid to retain her Vancouver-Point Grey seat.

In the May 14 general election, Gordon lost by nearly a two-to-one margin to B.C. Liberal incumbent Ben Stewart, who resigned last week to allow Clark to run.

Summer camp caters to kids with ADHD Campers have say in activities and code of conduct Mario Bartel

photo@burnabynewsleader.com

Minding a group of kids diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder might seem like herding cats.

But Brieanna Ingram sees it as an opportunity.

Ingram operates Outside the Box, a tutoring service specifically for kids with ADHD. In July she’s starting a summer camp for them at KRIB Youth Centre in Burnaby.

Camp Adventurous Daycamp Happens Daily, aka Camp ADHD, offers three one-week sessions packed with activities designed to help kids aged 8-12 find their passion. Each day’s itinerary of activities and outings is built around a theme like arts and sports, science, nature and the environment. On the last day they will have a chance to further explore whatever interested them the most. The kids will work in small groups of three, each guided by a trained counselor.

But, says Ingram, the campers themselves will have a huge say in how each day unfolds, including the creation of their own code of

creative ways,” says Ingram of her ADHD students. “It has to be super relevant or fun. If it’s not interesting to them it doesn’t exist.”

Ingram says ADHD kids often run into trouble in school because the system can’t cope with their unique needs. ADHD isn’t considered a learning disability in British Columbia, so there’s no funding available for special teaching or assistance. The result is often frustration for everyone involved—the kids, their parents and educators.

Some kids end up going off the rails, labelled as troublemakers.

But a few go on to become innovators and creative leaders.

Entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson, actor Will Smith, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and singer Justin Timberlake were all diagnosed with ADHD when they were young.

Ingram hopes her camp might someday help swell those ranks.

“The intent is to give them a basis of exploration,” says Ingram. “I hope they’ll find something that really excites them and clicks with them. It’s a place they get to shine.”

Catherine Harding sent the NewsLeader this photo to say she was four days into a two week visit in New Westminster and was loving this city. Here’s what the 22-year-old Montrealer had to say: “I had never been to B.C. until now. I can’t wait to spend the next 11 days taking in this fantastic city from the Quay to the Brewery District to Uptown to the fantastic Queen’s Park. Here is a shot I got of the Fraser River last evening. Just thought you may enjoy it!”

Running his way back to sobriety Four years ago Brendan McLellan was homeless and addicted to drugs. After a 15-day binge, and without sleep, he decided the only way to end his downward spiral would be to jump off the Pattullo Bridge.

Two years later he ran his first half-marathon, and on Sunday he’ll take the start line at the Scotiabank Half in Vancouver to raise money for Union Gospel Mission, the organization he credits with saving his life and instilling in him a love for running.

As McLellan worked on recovering from his addiction he joined UGM’s running group training program.

An athletic teenager when he was growing up in New Westminster, he thrived on the discipline of training four days a week and the natural endorphin high that comes with exercise. His self-esteem returned.

“When I was out there in my addiction, I couldn’t look people in the eye,” says McLellan, who now works with others going through recovery and is president of UGM’s alumni association.

“But when I’d run the Brendan McLellan is on a much better path these days, and is now giving back, by seawall, I’d see other runners raising money for Union Gospel Mission. and they’d nod and say ‘hi’ and I felt like I was a part of something.

Painter prefers sketchy characters Mario Bartel

photo@newwestnewsleader.com

When encountering shady characters with tattooemblazoned arms, crazy haircuts or wearing offensive T-shirts, some people cross to the other side of the street.

Shelley Rothenburger pulls out her sketch pad.

The New Westminster artist has an ongoing fascination with marginalized people who exist on society’s fringes: a street person with a beer can stashed in the water bottle cage of his beater bike, a spike-coiffed punk rocker, a misanthrope who doesn’t care how misogynistic the message is on his T-shirt. She collects quick sketches in her ever-present notebook and then later commits them to canvas with bright bold colourful strokes like Matisse, or as dark, shadowy Baroque portraits.

“I’m interested in the gritty, and painting the rawness of things,” says Rothenburger. “You see so many interesting people, they’re everywhere.”

Especially in New West, where refugees from the dismantled mental health care system still

wander the streets, the homeless spill over from crowded shelters in Vancouver, or the ever-changing cast of characters hanging around in the vicinity of the Uptown Tim Hortons. If Rothenburger really wants to immerse herself in the world of her subjects, she just hops on SkyTrain.

“I don’t idealize my subjects,” she says.

“I draw what I see and what I feel.”

For the most part her subjects have no idea they’re being drawn or painted.

Many are in profile. She wears dark sunglasses so they can’t see where she’s looking, and she works quickly.

Partly that’s for her own safety. And partly it’s to keep her portraits honest.

“A lot of people don’t understand what I do. They want me to paint more pleasant things,” says Rothenburger, whose quick hand and keen eye have earned her gigs as a courtroom artist. She also teaches figure drawing at Century House, and at CG-Masters School of 3D Animation and Visual Effects in Downtown New West.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

New Westminster artist Shelley Rothenburger will be exhibiting her portraits of marginal characters at the Gabor Gasztonyi Gallery from June 27 to Aug. 1.

Rothenburger walks a fine line between mocking her subjects and presenting them with the kind of devil-may-care dignity that caused them to pull on their offensive T-shirt or pack along a

can of beer for their bike ride in the first place.

“You can’t assume you know everything by their looks. You have to try to understand them.

You have to observe deeper.”

Appia Developments to release second phase at SOLO District

Living among the clouds at Altus Appia Developments’ SOLO District will add another gem to the neighbourhood when it launches sales of its newest phase on June 22. Altus will be the tallest building in Burnaby at 550 feet, with office space on the first 14 floors and residential from 200 feet up.

“The views start from the bottom (residential) floor,” says Appia Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell.

SOLO District (which stands for South Of Lougheed) welcomed Altus with a preview event on June 15 that had many potential buyers visit the SOLO District Presentation Centre to see what Altus has to offer. With condominium homes ranging from

approximately 516 to about 1,700 square feet in a variety of floorplans, it won’t be hard to find your perfect home. Something that sets Altus apart are the choices it offers for threebedroom units, which is something buyers have been asking for and Appia is happy to be able to provide in this new phase of SOLO District.

In the homes themselves, you’ll find imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry and polished quartz countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms, along with laminate flooring in the living areas, nine-foot

living or play space. The master ensuite features a huge stand-alone claw-foot tub made for relaxing after a day on the slopes, along with a gorgeous walk-in shower with rain shower head.

The kids and even adult guests will enjoy the bunk room that holds four bunk beds and plenty of space to play. A pool table is part of the prize package, furnished by Coast Spas Lifestyles. The furniture and accessories are also part of the home, from Lane Home Furnishings. The winner will also receive appliances from Coast Wholesale Appliances, luxurious outdoor furnishings from American Home & Patio, a $2,500 grocery package from IGA and one year of house cleaning from Mini Maid.

One of the most impressive parts of the home is the contemporary glass walk-in wine cellar in the foyer. A glass

of wine from your own private cellar will be the perfect way to end your day on the hill. Faliszewski also notes that there is an indoor-outdoor fireplace in the greatroom that you’ll want to curl up in front of at the end of the day.

“The deck (on the lower floor) wraps all the way around the outside of the house,” he says. “You can walk through the main rooms and then into your bedroom.”

Tickets for the home can be purchased online, via phone at 604252-3688 or toll-free at 1-877-946-4663 or at the Fair at the PNE itself between Aug. 17 and Sept. 2. The winner will be drawn on Sept. 5. You can preview the home between July 12 and 14, July 21, July 28, and Aug. 4.

‘Perfect for entertaining’

PNE Prize Home an iconic B.C. tradition

By Kerry Vital

The PNE Prize Home has been around since 1934 and is an integral part of the annual summer event. Now, the 2013 home is showcasing exactly why everyone loves this lottery.

“We’re really excited about this year’s home,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance. “This is the most affordable home lottery in British Columbia and there’s a lot of anticipation around it.”

For the second year in a row, the home is being decorated by interior designer Jillian Harris. She has starred on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is currently co-hosting Love It or List It Vancouver.

“Jillian did a fantastic job last year,” Ballance says. “It’s (wonderful) to have her back.”

This year’s home is over 3,000 square feet, designed and built by Britco. After someone wins it, it will be relocated to Sun Peaks Resort.

“It’s a fun project for us,” says Tom Faliszewski, manager of special projects for Britco. “The Fair at the PNE is an iconic event in Vancouver, and the Prize Home is a historic tradtion synonymous with The Fair.”

The home is built in an open-plan style, with a large greatroom and French doors to the exterior decks.

“It’s perfect for entertaining,” Faliszewski says. “It has a very spacious feel to it and feels much larger than it is.”

He’s not exaggerating. With its 10-foot ceilings on the main floor and nine-foot ceilings on the upper floor, the home feels incredibly open and airy.

Once relocated, the home will be right next door to last year’s PNE Prize Home, also built by Britco. The location is truly one of the best parts of the home, since it will feature stunning views over the ski and snowboard trails, surrounding mountains and valley.

“We try to do something different every year,” Faliszewski says. This year, Britco decided to put the master bedroom on the main floor, and include a huge upper deck on the second floor with a hot tub and a covered area that Faliszewski says is almost like a completely separate

“

We’re really excited about this year’s home,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance.

The home was designed by interior designer Jillian Harris again this year, and is spectacular as always. Among the features are a contemporary glass wine cellar, top, an indoor-outdoor fireplace, above with Harris, and a luxurious claw-foot tub in the master bathroom, left.

SOLO District to change the landscape of Burnaby SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre.

“There are so many things around here,” Murrell says. “It’s just perfect.”

The proximity to downtown Vancouver is also one of the highlights of SOLO District, especially for those looking to commute or if you’re just in the mood to sample the nightlife.

ceilings and a full-size stacking washer/dryer. The bathrooms also have luxurious soaker tubs (with an enclosed glass shower in some ensuites) and large porcelain floor tiles and wall tile tub surround.

All of the homes at SOLO will be heated and cooled via geothermal heat exchange, which uses stored energy from the earth and is incredibly efficient. FortisBC notes that buyers will see great cost savings compared to conventional buildings, and less maintenance will be required, which will lend homeowners greater peace of mind.

Part of the appeal is the huge amenity space that Appia is calling Club 55 with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck space all for residents of Altus, to be located on the top floor

of the tower. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a multi-sport court on the third floor.

SOLO District itself is one of the most exciting properties in the Lower Mainland real estate market. It will eventually be comprised of four stunning residential towers and over 1,400 homes. Construction is currently ongoing at the first phase, Stratus, with future phases Cirrus and Aerius to come. The community will also include Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space.

“There are several other exciting anchor tenants to be announced,” says Murrell. “This is a very, very cool community.”

Walkability was one of the more important aspects, Murrell says.

“There’s everything you could possibly need here,” she notes.

“It’s been really well-received by the community.”

Natural Gas

Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.

Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared standard-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric furnace and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of May 2013 ($9.35/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.071 and $0.109 per kWh). Actual savings may vary.

Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.
