Two residential towers at Park Royal pushed to public consultation

across from Brentwood Town Centre on Lougheed

he public will soon have its say on whether two highrises should replace White Spot restaurant at Park Royal South.

The towers — 19 and 24 storeys — would house 289 residential units with retail and community space at the base.

Council voted on Monday for the application to continue to the next step — public consultations which will start later this year.

The district’s official community plan would have to be amended to allow more residential units in the mall area, which the property’s owner Larco Investments hopes will become “a community within a community.”

The two towers would be among the tallest ever built in West Vancouver.

Most objection to the project at the council meeting was due to concerns over increased traffic around Taylor Way, an already congested intersection.

But a study done by the applicant concluded traffic impact would be “marginal” because residential development generates a fraction of vehicle trips compared to commercial development. The towers would produce one additional vehicle per minute compared to the current White Spot restaurant, the report added — a claim many people in the audience disagreed with.

“Right now every resident in West Vancouver has to come down Taylor Way or come along Marine Drive. We have tourists, we have people from ferries, we have people from Whistler and they all end up at that junction,” Barbara Brink, who lives in an apartment nearby, told council.

“The only time when that junction functions properly is when the police are there for six weeks at Christmas.”

The relatively small suites, however, had other people praising the development. Of the 289 suites, 269 are one- and two-bedrooms ranging from 507 to 915 square feet, while 10 are reserved as “accessible” units for Vancouver Resources Society and the other 10 are three-bedroom penthouses. “…West Vancouver is severely lacking in affordable housing. I don’t need more than 600 square feet to live in… This is where I work, this is where I’ve lived my whole life and I can’t right now,” said Will Ballard who had to move out of the district to afford a place to live.

The towers would be located on land under the jurisdiction of the District of West Vancouver but other areas, such as parking and public amenity space, are on Squamish Nation land.

Council members, who voted unanimously for the project to go to public consultation, emphasized that this step doesn’t mean the development has been approved at this time. mgarstin@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin

A ‘pipe’ dream realized for North Vancouver City of North Vancouver council has conditionally approved the “Pipe Shop” at Shipbuilders’ Square as the location for a new $10-million museum MARIA SPITALE-LEiSK S TA F F R E P O RT E R

T

he idea has been 30 years in the making, and now North Vancouver has concrete plans for a $10-million waterfront museum that will celebrate the community’s past and future in animated and engaging fashion.

Nancy Kirkpatrick, director of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives, can hardly contain her excitement, as she peers in the window of the “Pipe Shop” at Shipbuilders’ Square.

It may be an unfinished space at the moment, but Kirkpatrick is visualizing its potential as a destination for North Vancouverites and tourists alike.

“The building is so historic,” she says, standing in a spot that was once a bustling shipyard in the 1940s.

It’s stories from that era — the building of the Victory ships and how women stayed behind in the shipyards while men went off to war — that Kirkpatrick wants brought to life again.

Some 80 years’ worth of North Vancouver shipbuilding history is currently squirreled away in an undisclosed warehouse in the city.

When Versatile Pacific Shipyards

closed in 1992, the North Vancouver Museum inherited 4,000 artifacts from the company.

“For many years, North Vancouver revolved around the shipyards,” says Kirkpatrick. “They are a significant part of the story of how North Vancouver grew up.”

As it stands now, creativity is stifled by the cramped, antiquated conditions of the museum’s current home at Presentation House, preventing staff from composing engaging exhibits that showcase North Vancouver’s history.

Kirkpatrick cites a 1983 report that called for a new museum back then.

She bemoans the museum’s aesthetics, saying they don’t reflect North Vancouver’s “progressive and forwardlooking” character.

“When you look at the building that we are in, it sends the exactly the wrong message: old-fashioned small town,” she adds.

Former City of North Vancouver councillor Bob Heywood’s name is synonymous with the city’s history. His cousin, Arthur Heywood-Lonsdale, was considered to be North Vancouver’s first and most significant investor.

So, it’s only natural that Heywood would be involved in building a new North Vancouver museum. The chair of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives Commission is also uninspired by the current offerings at Presentation House.

“It is really an old-fashioned museum; it’s not one that tells stories, Heywood told The Outlook last Friday.

The city brought the idea of building a new North Vancouver museum in the Pipe Shop to the NVMA Commission’s attention in November 2011.

“Only after 2010, when the maritime museum proposal fell through, was the idea of going back to the waterfront a reality for us,” says Kirkpatrick.

The commission then began working on three city-funded studies for a new museum: an architectural concept plan, an exhibit concept plan and a business feasibility study.

A business case and feasibility study was done by Toronto-based Lord Cultural Resources, the world’s largest museum planning firm.

“They confidently projected that we have significant opportunity for operating revenues,” says Kirkpatrick.

Lord Cultural Resources estimated 45,000 people would visit the museum annually, and suggested a $7.50 admission rate.

The plans call for interactive exhibit galleries on two floors, multi-purpose areas that would be available for rent, a public lobby and a gift shop — all housed in a 11,900-square-foot space.

Connected by the overarching theme “North Vancouver: A story bound by nature,” the galleries will showcase the community’s past, present and future in an interactive way.

Imagine picking “handlebars,” an input device, for an adrenaline-fueled ride down Mount Fromme in front of a wraparound screen.

A suspension bridge, a nod to North Vancouver’s famous tourist attraction,

will span the museum’s lobby and lead to a second floor tree canopy.

Cost estimates for the design, fabrication and installation of the exhibits fall within the $10 million envelope for the entire project.

CNV council, at a July 15 meeting, gave conditional approval for use of the Pipe Shop. The city will also put up half of the $10 million price tag for the new museum, in a deal that hinges on the proponents providing a solid fundraising feasibility study by next April.

CNV Mayor Darrell Mussatto called the prospect of a new waterfront museum “pretty exciting news” for the community. When asked why the city should invest in the project, Mussatto said: “Well I think we have to remember our history. Council is going to make sure there is a suitable location for a community museum here in North Vancouver.”

Fundraising plans are already underway, with an enthusiastic group of volunteers already mobilized, said John Gilmour, president of the NVMA Friends Society.

“What we are doing is identifying significant potential donors — North Vancouver businesses and individuals,” said Gilmour.

The museum will also turn to the provincial and federal government for financial support down the road.

“Our intention is to open in 2017 – the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation — so we are hoping for some special grant programs,” said Kirkpatrick.

ollyburn Country Club will once again welcome tennis’ top echelon July 27 to Aug. 4 for the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open.

The West Vancouver stop on the USTA Pro Circuit, considered a warm-up for the U.S. Open, will feature players fresh off of Wimbledon.

Wimbledon doubles champion Su-wei Hsieh, ranked No. 44 in the world, will headline the women’s side of the Vancouver Open, along with Kimiko Date-Krumm, who is ranked No. 65.

In the men’s main draw, Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lukasz Kubot has been granted a wildcard entry because of his strong performance in London, said Vancouver Open tournament director Ryan Clark.

Meanwhile, the $200,000-purse tournament will also afford North Shore residents an opportunity to see home-grown players in action.

Two North Vancouver men are currently vying for one remaining wildcard entry: Filip Peliwo, winner of the 2012 Wimbledon boys’ title, and Philip Bester, a finalist at the 2006 junior French Open.

“You take in multiple factors, and it’s never an easy decision,” said Clark of the wild-card vetting process.

However, world ranking in hand, both of these men can sign up for the qualifying round, added Clark, who spotted Bester on the Hollyburn deck on Monday evening.

For the first time in tournament history, Vancouver Open organizers have handed out three wild-card entries for the qualifying round. Two of these “once-in-a-lifetime” spots were won by North Shore residents who competed in the Miele Road to VanOpen tournament last weekend.

Daniel Jaworski — a former NCAA tennis player and coach for West Vancouver Tennis Club, and Hollyburn’s Aaron Wong, who played collegiate tennis at Western Michigan University, both earned berths.

“This is huge for them,” said Clark. “These are players that wouldn’t have thought they could play at this level. Now they get to play in front of their family and friends while having home court advantage in their very first pro event.”

t’s fun fashion that everyone wants. And judging from the launch, and the lineups, the new Joe Fresh store in North Vancouver is well on its way to becoming a popular shop stop for young fashionistas everywhere. Last week the clothier held a VIP opening preview night inviting friends and notables for a special champagne and canapés party at its newest store at Lonsdale and 17th. The event was held in conjunction with the next day official opening of the new property and parent company, Loblaw’s CityMarket, which represents the first of its kind in North Vancouver.

» COVER STORY

Divine intervention The story of how a chance discussion led to a major private donation that helped to restore and preserve St. Paul’s, the Lower Mainland’s oldest surviving Catholic church

By Maria Spitale-Leisk

M

ajestic twin spires crowning St. Paul’s Indian Catholic Church mirror the likeness of the snow-capped “Lions” peaks resting on a mountain ridge in the northern distance.

Pointing 26-metres high towards the heavens, the spires are an enduring beacon for the faithful.

Many have journeyed to the site of this historic church nestled in the 37-acre Squamish Nation village of Eslha7a’n, at the mouth of Mosquito Creek.

Roman Catholic missionaries from France, arriving in wooden dugout canoes, were first welcomed to the community by Squamish elders, even before Vancouver was incorporated.

In 1863, French Oblate priests established the Sacred Heart Mission at Eslha7a’n, and built a humble chapel for the Squamish Nation on the shores of the Burrard Inlet. A larger frame church complete with a customary front steeple came later, in 1884.

The sacred building that stands today earned its distinctive double towers in 1909 as part of an extensive reconstruction. It was then renamed for Vancouver’s second Catholic bishop, Paul Durieu.

Today, a large-scale effort is underway to preserve St. Paul’s, the oldest surviving Catholic church in the Lower Mainland. **** “It’s looking good, Father,” shouts the young woman glancing up at the recently unveiled set of new spires, as she rides past on her bicycle along the narrow, weathered road.

Father John Brioux is lounging in the warm July sun on the wide, wooden front steps of the church. He gives a wave and a broad smile. continued, NEXT PAGE

nEw hEighTS - Luigi and Elisa Aquilini, along with Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob celebrate the unveiling of refurbished spires at St. Paul’s Indian Catholic Church in early July.

Submitted photos

By all accounts, Eslha7a’n has retained its quaint, parochial charm.

Three years ago, Brioux was presented with a choice between four parish assignments. He picked St. Paul’s so he could be with the Squamish people.

Looking out at the congregation during Sunday mass, he sees a fusion of cultures — First Nations, Caucasian and Asian.

“It isn’t primarily a Squamish Nation parish anymore,” says Brioux.

The church’s state of disrepair was glaringly apparent to him when he first arrived.

“You knew when you went up into the bell tower that there were serious problems,” recounts Brioux. ****

St. Paul’s has weathered many storms — both physical and financial.

In 1986, the St. Paul’s Indian Church Preservation Trust was established to raise funds for restoration projects. At that time, the trust members were able to deposit $231,000 with the Vancouver Foundation — a non-profit organization that manages endowments intended to enhance community resilience.

Current St. Paul’s Trust chairman Rennie Nahanee, who grew up in this parish, says fundraising dollars flowed more freely back then.

Canadian Heritage grants were also easier to come by. In the mid1980s, when St. Paul’s last underwent an extensive facelift, Canadian Heritage covered close to half of the hefty $600,000 bill.

Trust secretary-treasurer Donna Oseen estimates there is $800,000 in federal heritage grants to go around today, with 800 organizations from coast to coast eyeing that money. That left little incentive for St. Paul’s trustees to fill out the 40-page grant application.

There have been many obstacles on St. Paul’s road to restoration that started around 2010. The towers were languishing, their slatted design exposing them to the wind driven rain that Vancouver is notorious for in the wintertime.

Mother Nature relentlessly tested the wooden light grey peaks at St. Paul’s, each time infiltrating the belfry with water. Shrink wrap was eventually wound around the towers as a Band-Aid fix.

Restoring the spires to their original glory was the most pressing repair in a laundry list of much-needed renovations. After years of fruitless efforts, some of the trust members grew tired, just as the church had.

In 2011, the trust — comprised of representations from the Squamish Nation, St. Paul’s parish and the community at large — experienced a turnover. Historically, when someone leaves the trust, their last task is to pick their successors.

On this July day, four of six trust members are sitting on the front stoop of the church, basking in the sun and their sizable accomplishment towering overhead.

Bill Curtis, president of the Lower Lonsdale Business Association, says he got a call out of the blue from a colleague who informed him a trust member was resigning.

“Being a practising Catholic, I thought it was a natural opportunity for me to contribute to the church and the community,” he says.

He put his background in the building and design industry to good use, helping to resolve some technical structural issues while maintaining the heritage integrity of the church.

Oseen was a natural fit for the St. Paul trustee role, already embedded in the community through her role with the North Vancouver Community Arts Council and other initiatives.

This more focused group devised a wish list to be completed in six phases, with the spires and dilapidated front steps addressed first.

But funding was lacking, and the project stalled.

“We couldn’t go anywhere,” says Oseen.

Then, last Christmas, came some divine intervention. ****

Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob strolls up to the church to see what the activity on the front steps is about.

With the scaffolding now removed, he realizes it’s the renovation that has peaked The Outlook’s interest.

“It’s pretty amazing, huh?” offers Jacob.

He is sentimental today, straddling the threshold of the church where he was baptized and given his first communion. Soon Jacob continued, PAGE 18

The making of a wine column Love vino? There’s

A

few days ago a friend asked me how I choose what wines to write about for my column. As I responded to the (quite valid) query, I realized that I’ve never really shared my editorial philosophy in these pages.

Without further ado, here’s the method to my madness.

Those who regularly read this column may have taken note that my background is in restaurants. For almost 20 years, I’d worked the Vancouver beat, from bussing at The Fish House In Stanley Park to serving at Cin Cin, eventually ending up managing and running the wine program at Salt Tasting Room in Gastown. I’d always enjoyed when various publications asked me to write a small paragraph on a favourite wine for the season or similar recommendations.

Eventually I started getting semi-regular writing gigs for several magazines and papers, which provided the launch pad for me to become a freelance wine guy a couple years back. Writing is now about a third of what I Wine columnist Kurtis Kolt and his former boss, do, alongside consulting with restaurants on their wine programs, presenting seminars and Jack Evrensel, the owner of the Toptable Group of restaurants, at the launch of Owen wine at events, a little competition judging and so on.

If I’m enthused their wines “correct” but rarely by something or someone, I like to share my tugging at the heartstrings. enthusiasm. That, really, is the crux my gig Consequently, and probably here.

a club for that

Think of the BC Wine Appreciation Society as a book club but instead of dissecting Oprah’s latest obsession, you share your love of vino with fellow appreciators.

Membership is reasonable ($40 for the year) and involves monthly tasting events, a wine dinner featuring a specific winery at one of Vancouver’s best restaurants and a yearly bus tour to one of the wine regions of the Okanagan.

The BCWAS is one of five wine societies in Vancouver, with a growing membership (now up to 120 members from 10 back when they started) and a younger demographic.

Founded by Brian Glaum and his wife Krystal Kaulback eight years ago, don’t expect hoity-toity and serious events, with people sniffing, swirling, sipping and swishing. Instead it’s like a warm and welcoming get-together that harkens of a dinner party with close friends.

For instance, just before BCWAS’ summer break, they brought Steven and Dawn Heiss of BC’s oldest family-owned winery, Gray Monk Estate, to the Listel Hotel to talk about the winery’s history and recent anniversary.

While the level of wine knowledge certainly varied across the room, it didn’t matter how well versed you are in your Pinots and Syrahs.

Some people attend to expand their technical knowledge, while others really just enjoy the social aspect – getting together with people they’ve come to know and very much like, chatting and sampling amazing local wines and further figuring out what their palate likes and doesn’t like.

The next event is the annual bus tour. This year (September 14 and 15), members are taking in Naramata on the Saturday and Summerland on the Sunday.

Saturday’s dinner will feature wines from DiBello and Van Westen wineries at the Summerland Waterfront Resort, where the group will spend the night (although you can make alternative arrangements). A second winemaker’s dinner has been added so that Harry McWatters can introduce members to his new Time Estate wines. Other highlights include lunch at Poplar Grove’s Vanilla Pod restaurant and a festival-style tasting with seven wineries at Okanagan Crush Pad, with lunch by Joy Road Catering.

The price for members is $429 (which includes two multicourse lunches and dinners with wines; hotel not included) plus $60 for an optional walk-around dinner. Go to BCWAS. com for details.

Yes or no: Coach house decision soon

Three coach houses near Esquimalt and 21st Street.

The majority of 124 survey respondents want coach houses in West Van MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R

R

esults of a community survey on coach houses have pushed the alternative housing option one step closer to approval.

From 124 surveys submitted in person and online, 78 per cent of people think coach houses would be a good fit for West Van, while 15 per cent say no and the remainder are unsure.

Based on these results, district staff are recommending council allow them to prepare bylaws that would allow coach houses to be built behind main houses.

But there is a stipulation: Laneway houses should be rental only — no strata-titled dwellings that can be sold separately.

Council was scheduled to discuss the possibility of coach houses at a meeting on July 22 but due to time restraints that topic was moved to July 29.

“There appears to be significant community support for coach houses to consider allowing this housing type in West Vancouver,” a staff

report to council reads, adding the backyard houses should be allowed in all parts of West Van, not segregated to certain neighbourhoods.

The report added that the permitted floor area allowed on a lot should not increase when a coach house is built: “There are longstanding public concerns about maximum-sized new houses being built in West Vancouver… Adding density would exacerbate this situation.”

Survey respondents were conflicted on whether to allow coach houses in all neighbourhoods. Sixty-two percent voted for free reign, while 27 per cent said to limit the backyard houses to certain areas of West Van. On the matter of density, half (54 per cent) said coach houses should be allowed in addition to basement suites, while 49 per cent said only one form of secondary suite should be allowed per house.

This City of North Vancouver already allows coach houses, with around 25 already constructed. The District of North Vancouver is looking into the idea, but on a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood basis.

For more information on West Van’s coach house survey and the 2013 Community Survey, which also addressed this housing type, go to westvancouver.ca, click on “government” then open the July 22 council meeting agenda.

Hazards of Heat & Summer for Pets The long days of summer are a great time to have – or be –a pet. But this glorious season for outdoor activities is not without its hazards.

Cats have enough sense to nap on warm afternoons, but dogs do not. If you let them, they’ll go everywhere you go, even if it’s too hot. Dogs are not good at keeping themselves cool, and they rely on us to keep them out of trouble.

The fastest way to get your dog into trouble is to leave him in the car. Even a few minutes in a car on a warm day can kill a dog, so it’s best never to take a chance.

Limit exercise to the coolest part of the day, no matter how happy your dog is to participate when it’s warmer. Even in the cooler part of the day, watch for signs of trouble: Glassy eyes and frantic panting indicate a dog who needs help.

All dogs need access to shade and an endless supply of cool, clean water.

West Van welcomes back 23rd annual Harmony Arts Festival

Up first West Vancouverbased Spirit of the West is kicking off the 10-day arts and music festival.

Save the Tax Event

large sample of the Lower Mainland’s best artists, performers and chefs are getting ready for West Vancouver’s 23rd annual Harmony Arts Festival.

More than 100,000 people are expected to celebrate music, performance, cinema and visual and culinary arts in Ambleside from Aug. 2 to 10.

The Art Market, perhaps the event’s biggest attraction, runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m along Argyle Avenue. Displaying an eclectic mix — paintings, carvings, ceramics and fashion, to name a few — around 400 artists will be on site to chat with customers.

New this year, Spirit of the West, a folk group from West Van with 13 albums to its name, is kicking off the 10-day music scene. A different band plays each evening at 7:30 p.m. at one of two stages, including Gary Comeau & the Voodoo All Stars, Cousin Harley, Tiller’s Folly and Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra.

The Garden Concert series, including Geoff Gibbons Band, AJ Woodworth and The Jardines, also plays through out the day.

“Some people plan holidays around the festival, from the Island and the Interior,” said Christie Rosta, manager of special events and festivals for the District of West Vancouver, noting the event draws thousands from across the Lower Mainland.

These vacationers are also coming for RARE, three evening dinners with local chefs who are creating dining experiences inspired by the West Vancouver Museum’s collection of notable Canadian artists including Emily Carr, Gordon Smith and Jack Shadbolt. The beachfront at Lawson Creek Studio will be transformed into a contemporary casual dining lounge featuring Rodney’s Oyster House and matching wines.

“The museum doesn’t have a place to permanently display these paintings so they’re bringing them down to the waterfront for everyone to enjoy,” said Rosta.

A long-time favourite, Cinema in the Park is playing at John Lawson Park at 9 p.m. on select nights, including screenings of Life of Pi, a fantasy film about a young man on a epic journey; Funny Girl, a 1960s Academy Award-winner staring Barbra Streisand; and the classic musical Grease.

candidly reveals how he was able to secure funding for the spire restoration project.

Luigi Aquilini of the Aquilini Investment Group — who Jacob says is “involved in a fair-sized project in the Squamish Valley” — approached him for a dinner meeting late last year.

“And we did our business. And then I said, ‘Oh, by the way, if you are willing we have this oldest church in Vancouver that we need help with,’” recounts Jacob.

After learning the project estimate was $700,000, according to Jacob, the father of Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini didn’t blink an eye.

“And [Luigi] turned to his No. 1 and said, ‘Make it happen,’” recounts Jacob.

Aquilini funded the spires and front staircase repairs, valued at approximately $500,000. The Pattison Sign Group also contributed to the project, paying $3,000 to fix the crosses on top of the spires.

Regarding the donation, said Aquilini in a press release: “My family and I are very pleased to contribute to the renovation of this beautiful and historical church.”

Oseen and the St. Paul’s trustees couldn’t have been more thrilled with the news.

“Just as we were starting to talk about how we were going to fundraise, Mr. Aquilini dropped into our hands. What a wonderful Christmas gift,” says Oseen. **** Construction on the towers began in February. That’s when workers precisely saw the rot eroding the spires. From their vantage point, they could also glimpse a veiled view of the Vancouver skyline through the scaffolding.

The west spire was almost entirely rebuilt, which involved sourcing 34-foot cedar timbers to match the original construction. A proper roof membrane was then installed to prevent future leaks to the spires.

Meanwhile, St. Paul’s pointed-arch stained glass windows were removed and refurbished.

The Gothic Revival-style church that holds a National Historic Site of Canada designation still requires significant repairs. St. Paul’s Trust has contributed $53,000, and the Heritage Legacy Fund of B.C., $20,000, for future renovations.

Another $100,000 is needed to finish retrofitting the building’s envelope, Oseen estimates. Only after those repairs are complete can the interior condition of the church be remedied.

Jacob, looking back at the legacy of St. Paul’s, is optimistic for the future.

“All people in the city should be proud of this church. Hopefully, it will be around for a long time to come.”

seymour Golf and Country Club axes friday public play New lease with DNV allows club to limit public access to Mondays only MARIA SPITALE-LEISK s tA f f R E p o Rt E R

I

n a bid to drive private membership and get Seymour Golf and Country Club out of the rough, public play will be eliminated on Fridays.

District of North Vancouver council has approved a new lease agreement with the semi-private golf course that allows Seymour to limit public access to Mondays only, in exchange for the district receiving a minimum $125,000 rent increase per year.

In 1953, when the DNV, as the landowner, entered into an initial agreement with North Vancouver’s only 18-hole golf course at the time, it secured Mondays and Fridays as public play days.

The DNV also shared in the revenue stream, collecting 10 per cent of initiation, private membership, guest and public fees from the golf club.

In recent years, financial losses and declining membership have been par for the course for Seymour. To try and reverse this trend, the club presented several business cases to the district.

One cumbersome idea that was floated — the Seymour Playcard — would have allowed district residents access to the course on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with a four-hour, 15-minute pace of play.

“That [ Seymour Playcard] went through the public process, and council requested another option be brought in that was simpler,” said Seymour Golf and Country Club general manager Dave McNeilly.

Both McNeilly and Seymour president Greg Hope, along with a flock of golfers from the club, plead their case to DNV council members Monday night.

“Seymour’s current lease with its mixed-member and public model is not typical among golf courses. It impedes new member recruitment and retention of existing members,” said Hope during the public input period.

Scott Corbett, a longtime Seymour member and North Van resident, also spoke in favour of the proposed lease agreement.

“We are fortunate to have two world-class golf facilities in the District of North Vancouver,” said Corbett. “It’s critically important to the taxpayer and the District of North Vancouver that both of these golf courses be successful.”

When Seymour eventually moves to private play model on Fridays, the thought is that more golfers will migrate to neighbouring, district-owned Northlands Golf Course.

“It would be a natural expectation that people would go up there [to Northlands],” said McNeilly.

At Monday’s meeting, Coun.

Lisa Muri, a Seymour-area resident, was sentimental about the area’s long-standing golf course.

“This facility has been in our community forever, and I think we are all very proud of it,” said Muri. “We are proud of Northlands. And we want to make both of those facilities successful.”

Coun. Mike Little showed trepidation, concerned that Seymour wouldn’t be able to fulfill their end of the agreement.

“The struggle with that is, if your organization doesn’t really grow, this is a bad deal for the District of North Vancouver,” said Little.

Coun. Robin Hicks shared Little’s sentiments. He added, it might be difficult for the district to have its hands in the financing and operation of two golf courses.

“I would rather see a straight land lease from the district to Seymour, based on the value of the land that exists there,” said Hicks.

Mayor Richard Walton was just as perplexed, calling the agreement one of the most complex pieces of analysis that district staff have encountered.

“And, it’s golf for heaven’s sake,” he quipped.

Under the new lease agreement —which council passed unanimously — Seymour will now operate at more of an arm’s length from the district, which will no longer dictate how the golf club can spend their capital savings.

Meanwhile, a new provision ensures the rent Seymour pays to the district matches inflation rates.

The district has also placed a cap on Seymour’s public green fees. Currently, a round of golf on Mondays, a public play day at Seymour, costs $71.20.

District staff, after analyzing the fees of seven most- and least-expensive golf courses in the Lower Mainland, including Capilano Golf and Country Club and Northlands, decided that Seymour’s rates should reflect an average of those courses.

The public may have lost a day of golf at Seymour, but they did gain a 1.2-acre passive park in the southwest corner of the course, near the fifth hole. The DNV has decided to repossess that parcel of the leased lands for public use.

According to McNeilly, eliminating another day of public play at Seymour is not about exclusivity per say, but rather to attract more serious golfers. He rattled off a list of perks for Seymour members, including access to seven golf pros, leagues for men and women and a celebrated junior program.

“There are all of those things that drive people to join a golf club, it’s not exclusivity,” McNeilly insisted. “They are just a bunch of people that want to golf all the time.”

The new lease agreement, which includes a review provision after five years, expires in 2053, with the changes expected to be rolled out over the next year. reporter@northshoreoutlook.com

FlyOver Canada takes off

Take a breathtaking virtual flight across Canada, coast to coast, in just 30 minutes

t the end of a long pier in Vancouver lies a launch pad to the rest of the country.

FlyOver Canada, a virtual visitor attraction located at the top of the Canadian Trail at Canada Place, opened at the beginning of this month.

And what a fitting Canada Day experience it was for all who took flight.

The ride is one of only a handful like it in the world. Divided into three parts, the first is Uplift, an inspirational 10-minute pre-show by Montreal’s Moment Factory (Jay-Z, Cirque) focusing on the diverse cultural communities of Canada.

Next comes the humorous pre-flight safety briefing featuring cameos by the two creators.

Finally, you file into the multi-level theatre seating, completely amped, and buckle up.

and clearing traps that I’d never seen cleared before. It was a real eye-opener.

“He played a different game than a lot of people… most people. You could see he had different aspirations than virtually everybody he was playing with. He had the raw talent, the shotmaking and distance that was very rare. He had that swagger and confidence. He was friendly and talkative enough and there was certainly nothing wrong with the way he conducted himself but, when it came time to hit the ball and put it in the hole, you could tell that he carried himself at a different level. He was fun to play with and it was a lot of fun to be part of the mix.”

“His confidence – bordering on arrogance as a young guy – blossomed, I think, into very strong charisma as a tour pro. People just love him. The way

he carries himself… the way he’s so easy going… his manner as an individual suits the way he swings the golf club: soft and supple and smooth and still hits the ball a ton. Full shoulder turn. Great swing mechanics.”

Arv Olson, the long-time Vancouver Sun sportswriter and golf historian, is another North Shore connection to the Couples story. Olson, who grew up in North Van, interviewed Couples while covering the tournament for The Sun and noted in his account of the opening round, “He’s a mature young man with a game to match – a strong striker of the ball who is an excellent putter and who knows how to use his head.”

Couples has amassed well over 50 professional tournament victories including 15 PGA Tour events and is now a fixture on the Champions Tour for those aged 50-plus. At 53 he shone

once again at the Masters in April in Augusta where he made the cut for a record 24th consecutive year (and 27 times in all) while finishing 13th and earning $145,600 after amazing even his most ardent fans by being tied for second at the halfway point. In May, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Last weekend, playing in the British Open for the first time in seven years, he improved on each round to finish tied for 32nd in a field of 153, all but 19 of whom are at least 10 years younger than him and 90 who weren’t even born when he won the B.C. juniors.

Couples himself, as recently as 2010 in an article in the Toronto Sun in advance of that year’s Canadian Open in Etobicoke, Ontario, talked about his 1970s trips into B.C. to play in the provincial junior tourneys in 1976 (he

Seeking creative solutions for seniors’ housing

I can help you get out and enjoy the sunshine!

Many North Shore seniors face barriers when it comes to aging in place JOSIE PADRO COntrIbutOr

“A

ging in place” is a phrase we hear frequently these days. It’s based on the belief that seniors experience better quality of life when they’re living independently. For some, however, finding the right home can be a challenge.

In 2011, the Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society surveyed over 1,000 North Shore residents, age 55 and over.

The survey showed that about half of North Shore seniors aged 75 to 84 lived alone, as did two-thirds of those over 85; and the majority, 67 per cent, owned their own homes. Most of those surveyed had no plans to move and those who did preferred to continue to live independently. Respondents said they wanted to live near transit, shopping and friends in their community. They also felt there was a lack of affordable housing.

Jane Osborne, project team leader for Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society, points out that many of the North Shore’s older rental apartments are being replaced by condominium developments and tenants who lived in those apartments are often unable to afford to rent the newly constructed units. Many seniors, she says, are one rent increase away from homelessness.

Hollyburn Family Services Society provides outreach services to North Shore seniors who are facing problems finding or retaining their homes.

Since 2011 the society has assisted 300-plus seniors, fielding about 20 calls a day from those with housing concerns. Whether it’s helping someone negotiate with their landlord, finding a place to stay for someone who is homeless, or showing someone how to use the internet to find a new apartment – each case is different. Whatever the situation, the goal of Hollyburn Family Services Society is to help people remove barriers to finding permanent housing. continued, NEXT PAGE

Osborne believes it’s time to get creative about housing options for seniors.

“We know at this stage that our federal and provincial governments don’t have the appetite or the money to start building subsidized housing, so my sense is that we need to start looking at more grassroots solutions,” she says.

In search of some solutions, Lionsview recently hosted a public session called “Rightsizing.”

It was a chance for the North Shore community to look at housing options that fit residents as they age.

One such option was presented by a West Vancouver couple who built two small pavilions on their lot, one for themselves, the other for guests, family or eventually, a caregiver.

Before starting to build, they consulted with neighbours to ensure there were no objections to their plan. They also conformed to West Vancouver bylaws, which specified one house per lot, by building an enclosed passageway connecting the two structures, effectively creating one home.

Another couple chose to purchase a large house by combining funds with their children, who were unable to purchase a home on the North Shore. Under one roof, the grandparents and the young family each have a living space of their own, an arrangement much like the extended family homes common in previous generations.

One option that’s becoming increasingly common is the non-profit Abbeyfield model of housing, in which a group of seniors live together with meals and housekeeping provided. The concept has grown and today there are about 700 Abbeyfield homes world-wide providing living space for around 7,000 people.

Another housing phenomenon occurring on the North Shore is what Jane Osborne calls the “empty bedroom situation.” She points out that many seniors who live alone, some in large homes, have one or more spare bedrooms. At

the same time, there are seniors who are looking for such a room.

Osborne believes that some sort of intermediary organization could be put in place that would pre-screen, match and monitor those who have a bedroom to spare with those in need of one.

Whether they’re isolated in a large home or dealing with homelessness, seniors on the North Shore are facing housing issues. With a little creative thinking – and sometimes with a little community support – many can arrive at an arrangement that allows them to age in a place of comfort and security.

Seniors flash mob hits Edgemont Village 300 or so seniors surprise summer concert series crowd with a choreographed routine to the Bette Midler version of Fever

C

oncert-goers flocked to see the Adam Woodall band play in Edgemont Village last Friday. And then, in between sets, they got a surprise — they were suddenly flash-mobbed by a group of 300 or so dancing seniors.

Jennifer Abbott, a 43-year-old hearing aid practitioner who works with many seniors in North and West Vancouver, came up with the idea for the silver-haired flash mob.

She began by contacting activity coordinators at North Shore seniors’ homes and centres. Word spread quickly.

“A lot of them didn’t know what a flash mob was but they were excited about it,” she says.

Abbott then connected with Ariyanna Pascuzzi at Seymour Dance for help with the choreography. She wanted to make sure the moves could be performed by all seniors — not just younger, mobile seniors, so it had to be wheelchair- and walker-friendly.

Those who signed up had to swear to secrecy. “I didn’t want it leaked,” Abbott says.

A video of the routine was shot and team leaders at different seniors’ centres and residents helped conduct furtive rehearsals.

They did one group rehearsal at a local rec centre before Friday’s flash mob.

“It was wonderful. It all came together,” says Abbott about Friday’s event. “The joy that I saw on everyone’s face. They took over Edgemont that night and it was just fantastic.”

To watch a video of Friday’s flash mob, go to northshoreoutlook.com
