rip peterman, the president of the B.c. chapter of the national railway historical society, is worried the 23 historic rail coaches and one locomotive stored in a new Westminster warehouse will be scattered to collectors all over north america when the sapperton green property on Braid street is redeveloped.

Peterman said the space they’ve occupied in the warehouse for 28 years is unique because it affords them the room to store the coaches inside, safe from the crowbars and screwdrivers of metal thieves and unscrupulous collectors looking for notable components, as well as access to a main rail line from an unused dead-end spur. please see ‘We NeeD A cHAMPION’, A3

Just as it was providing profit to a deficit-besieged New Westminster school district, the business company is being shut down because changes to provincial regulations have made money-making highly unlikely. The SD40 business company’s board of directors has decided to transfer operations in China to a private company, CINEC Education Group, because of provincial policy changes imposed upon school district business companies in B.C. The Ministry of Education now requires the companies to use consultants from an approved list of 16, and the ones New West was using weren’t on it. The regulations also required students to pass the English 12 provincial exam before getting their graduation certificate and basing 40 per cent of their mark on the provincial exam and 60 per cent on classroom work. Those changes made it difficult to recruit students to the business company’s school in Wenzhou, China, said its chief executive officer Brent Atkinson, a former school trustee. please see A11

Craft beer brewery brewing in New West Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Jorden Foss and James Garbutt were visiting Vancouver Island in July 2012, and being beer connoisseurs, they decided to check out the Tofino Brewing Company. It was in an industrial park and along with making the beer, they served it in a tasting room and sold it to people by the keg, bomber bottles (650 ml) and growlers (large containers supplied by the customer). It was a simple little operation, and the New Westminster natives thought why not bring it to the Royal City. Foss says they’d always talked about going into business together because they got along so well, and

since they both enjoyed craft beer they’d joked about starting their own brewery. He admits, however, that when someone says, “we should start a brewery” out loud it sounds a bit insane. But they decided to put their money where their wisecracking mouths were anyway. The result is Steel&Oak, a craft beer house they hope to open on Stewardson Way next to the successful Pacific Breeze Winery sometime in the spring. “I’ve always been a lover of different food and drinks. I love the aroma, the taste, how everything can be layered perfectly to create an experience. So when I first realized that macro beer wasn’t all that was out there I

immediately became obsessed with craft beer,” said Foss. Both say when putting the business plan together they were encouraged to discover other small craft breweries were being set up in Greater Vancouver. “Breweries are also extremely expensive and for me it was a bit of a struggle to get my head around spending that much money out of the gate without having a product to sell yet,” says Foss. “For me it was about doing something I’m passionate about and being able to start it in a community that I grew up in and that I love, a community that I thought would not only support local craft beer but deserved to once again have a brewery to call their own. So

one day I just thought, ‘if you don’t jump now, you never will,’ so I did.” They already have Peter Schulz, a brewmaster with seven years’ experience, lined up. Garbutt says they have plans for some North American, German and English-style beers. Along with the usual method of using steel to brew beer they plan to make some oak-aged beers as well, hence the name Steel&Oak. Along with distributing to local pubs, they want to have a lounge tasting room and sell beer by the keg, the bomber bottle and by growlers to customers off the street. “It’s the best way to get fresh beer,” says Garbutt. Their website is steelandoak.ca.

The group finances its acquisitions by booking out the trains for private functions, tours and even movie shoots. Peterman said efforts to move the collection, even in a pareddown state, to new locations in Coquitlam and Port Moody have fallen through because property in the Lower Mainland is “too valuable” to set aside a chunk large enough to park a long train. “That’s how all our dreams and aspirations get crushed,” said Peterman, who noted the group’s work to acquire and restore rail cars has pretty much ground to a halt since last September when they rolled out their restoration of the diesel-electric locomotive

that was infamously at the head of the VIA Rail passenger train that collided with a freight train outside Hinton, Alberta in 1986, killing 23 people. Peterman said a proposal by the group to straighten a section of the spur line and set aside a small back corner of Sapperton Green for a historical working museum that would include a covered workshop, a pit for undercarriage repairs and a viewing gallery for the public to see them at work as well as appreciate the collection has so far fallen on deaf ears. But they’re not giving up. A recent query by New West City Coun. Chuck Puchmayr following a presentation to city council by the developer

“It’s just a beautiful collection they have,” said Puchmayr. “We have served notice that we have an interest in preserving it. I think the fact we brought it up will send some amber flags up for the developer.” Puchmayr said an ongoing review of the way railways use and move through New Westminster may also yield a solution to finding a new home for the rail cars. But, he said, “it’s going to take a lot of work. “Everything is on the table.” Peterman said any glimmer of hope is welcome. “We need a champion at the level that can make it happen. As soon as you accept your fate it’s self-fulfilling.”

Weekly Health Tip While many studies in the past have often suggested that standing is a better posture than sitting, the truth is that prolonged standing is not a solution to most aches and pains either! The fact is that MOVEMENT is the key to remaining healthy. Whether at home, at work or in your activity of choice, try to move often from one posture to another, and back and forth, and your body will thank you.

City taking a closer look at festivals Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Nine Royal City organizations that stage annual festivals lined up to give their thoughts on how the city doles out services and money to them at a special council meeting Tuesday. Traditionally, council reviews funding requests annually and bases its decisions on recommendations from city advisory committees. But late last year, council decided to review these procedures. “We need to be more diligent in terms of how we’re giving out our money,” said Coun. Bill Harper on Wednesday. Many of the organizations called for developing ways to pool resources for equipment, stage and tent rentals, and insurance. They also said it was a challenge having to deal with several city departments when planning the events. The Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA), which stages the Royal City Show & Shine and the StrEAT

food truck festival, suggested having a dedicated staff person be a one-stop shop for organizations would be beneficial. “Having to liaise with so many different City departments on individual aspects of each event, instead of a centralized go-to person who can help coordinate and streamline the process” is challenging, wrote the BIA in

its presentation. Dealing with so many departments can mean their information isn’t always accurately presented to council, said the BIA. Harper said New West should consider Coquitlam’s model that employs a coordinator to facilitate festivals by providing services such as producing a schedule, and the sharing of tents and tables.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Border security It seems everyone has a border horror story to tell. Sometimes it’s a zealous customs officer who insists on going through every rote question about the intent, duration and nature of your visit, even if you’re just popping over the line for a tank of gas or jug of milk. Sometimes it’s a wave to the inspection lane. Followed by a hand-wringing wait as officers peer into every nook and cranny of your vehicle Sometimes it’s just about enduring the interminable lines when only one or two booths are open at the end of a holiday weekend. No matter how honest we are, sweaty palms and a hushed, serious demeanour always seem to be a part of the border experience. Border security officers have a tough job. Some of them don’t always do it with a smile on their face, or humour in their voice. A few seem to even relish the power they hold over the fate of individuals trying to enter their country. This goes for both sides of the line that separates Canada from America. Most of us can recognize the difference between diligence and power-tripping. Those who abuse the power of their position feel they are above reproach. They’re confident complaints will be swamped by bureaucracy, their bosses will look the other way. But bullying, over-aggressive behaviour by those entrusted as their country’s gatekeepers doesn’t serve anyone whether they’re regular visitors, tourists or residents. Or keep the country they’re protecting any safer. Proper training of border officers ensures everyone who comes through their station is dealt with in the interest of their country’s security and economy, not to make themselves feel better about their rotten day.

Knock, knock! Who’s there? Within a one-minute walk of my home there are five empty houses. One has been empty for 26 years. Fortunately it is well cared for; gardeners come to cut the grass and prune the shrubs. A maintenance company checks for wear and tear, leaks, wasps nests, and squirrels in the attic. A young couple lived in it for six months in 1989, but no one has since then. One house has been empty for 14 years, another for 11 years. These are big homes. The other two are more recent—vacant less than five years. I’m surprised they aren’t rented out. Someone owns these homes and pays taxes, pays upkeep or security. It’s a bit strange, like dead teeth in an otherwise bright smile. Friends who live in condos say there are empty units, some for more than five years. There may be a rule against subletting, or perhaps the owners think of it as a bank account, a term deposit with hefty fees. They can’t all be mysterious overseas owners, can they? A colleague lives near Queen’s Park in New Westminster and

Anne Hopkinson says the same thing. As she runs she notices homes that are vacant: no garbage or recycling bins on the curb, overgrown lawns and gardens, and piles of soggy flyers on the doorstep. The up side is that they are quiet neighbours. Usually that’s a good thing, but some houses are dead quiet when they shouldn’t be. My house in Victoria is empty too. It’s a lovely old house right on the harbour. I own it with the rest of the citizens of B.C. But this house, the provincial legislature, is empty because of a political decision to avoid debate. I’m not a political pundit but even I am suspicious when the legislative assembly has only sat for 36 days out of 579. I know, Christy says she wants to “go out and talk to the people of B.C.” rather than “close

herself off in Victoria” but really, it’s just not enough democracy for me. I need to see the house full and functioning to have confidence in the government. She didn’t attend the 17-day summer session. Now they won’t meet until February? Not good enough. What about accountability? The purpose of an opposition is to question the government on its policies and programs. They can’t do it if the Legislative Assembly doesn’t meet. Freedom of speech is a hollow principle if there are no speeches being made. My house by the river in Ottawa is empty too: another political decision to avoid debate. Yes, the Senate scandal is embarrassing, and Mr. Harper did appoint Pam (Wallin) and Paul (Duffy), but what’s with the cowardice? Some call it political manoeuvring, political smarts, but to me it looks weak. He’s using time as a damper on hot issues. We are promised 35 days out of the usual 55 for a fall session. What’s with the dwindling democracy in Canada? The old quote “Not only must justice be

done, it must be seen to be done,” can be applied to government. Not only must governing be done, it must be seen to be done. And I don’t see it. And I’m just a barely political retiree from Burnaby! If I’m ticked off about abandoned and deserted legislatures then we know it’s bad. Ask pollsters why more people don’t vote in provincial or federal elections—this is one of the reasons. I want debate. I want both sides of an argument. I want to hear the facts and questions the government doesn’t want me to hear. And I want to know if the opposition is doing its job. If democracy falls in parliament and no one is there to hear it … The trouble is that nothing is more important to Ms. Clark and Mr. Harper than getting elected and staying in power. Democracy in action is way down the list. Anne Hopkinson is a Burnaby resident still working on the three Rs: reading, writing, and rambling.

Hyack deserves respect Re: Time for an end to the chummy Hyack club (Column, NewsLeader, Sept. 27) It’s disappointing and sexist when a local column would use the term “old boys club” to describe an organization whose active past presidents are largely made up of women. It’s disappointing to see such a one-sided lamb-basting of an organization that has spent over 42 years entertaining young and old alike. Members of the New Westminster Hyack Festival Association attend parades and festivals locally in Vancouver, White Rock, Port Moody, Penticton, to name a few. All in the promotion of our fair city. Similarly, Hyack members that also attend these Northwest Festival hosting events (dressed in Hyack official uniform or dress, either hunter green board-of-director jackets or the Royal Stewart plaid jackets), most of whom pay their own way, volunteer their time to meet other festival organizers and encourage them to come to New West on an annual basis and participate in our international parade. It’s one of the largest of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, and directly stimulates the economy. One needs only to walk in a parade and see the joy brought to children of all ages to recognize the lives we touch on both sides of the border, with life-long friends and community relationships being created and maintained for decades. But this column wasn’t about the good work the organization has done and continues to do. It’s about the preponderance of scandal and disgruntlement. Clearly our former executive director has some friends who

Parade weekend for our out-oftown guests. They organize the hotels, arrange for the formal dinner on Friday night where all the heads of out-of-town parades are recognized. They arrange for a postparade luncheon Saturday and a rose planting by the Portland Rosarians at city hall. They organize a boat trip with salmon dinner on Saturday night and then a farewell breakfast on Sunday morning. On top of that, we have a hospitality room all weekend where our volunteers make food for our guests. It makes for a very hectic weekend and some of us are not getting any younger. We also attend several hospitality meetings throughout the year and as soon as one year is finished, we start right away on next year’s hospitality. This model works very well and keeps the continuity of the hospitality weekend going. I should also point out, the only people who get their way paid for any Hyack out-oftown trips or functions are the ambassadors and chaperones, and the president and his spouse, and any city councillor who attends. Everyone else pays their own way and always have. We don’t travel on the taxpayers’ dime. You have another fact wrong. The executive director takes his direction from the president, not the other way round. Next time you wish to sit down and trash Hyack, it would be great if you checked your facts first. Ken F. Williams Long-time Hyack member New Westminster

were upset about his sudden departure (the second time by his own accord) and they’re not happy, so they appear to be reacting with vindictive zeal in an attempt to besmirch our association while personal agendas run amok. It is important to recognize that volunteer non-profit boards consist of citizens from all walks of life. Some may have little or no previous board or committee experience. As a friend of mine put it: “you can have five people in the room with seven different ideas.” That said, many come to the table because they want to give back to the community and at the same time contribute to making our city a better place to live. In short, these volunteers do their best with the knowledge and experience that they have. Members of an association become a family. Sooner or later families fight—that’s normal. What’s not normal is when outsiders get involved when they clearly do not know the history or all the nuances of what is or has taken place. I would like my “family” to be afforded the respect it has earned over its decades of service to the community while it continues striving, and even struggling at times, to grow and improve.

However, Coun. Chuck Puchmayr isnâ€™t sold on the idea. â€œI was really surprised at the diversity of concerns and needs from the different groups. Some groups have figured out the map of how to make it happen and others are finding obstacles along the route,â€? Puchmayr said, adding this is a great opportunity to put together a template for festival organizers and city staff. â€œEvery time staff has brought forward a recommendation for a full-time coordinator for festivals Iâ€™ve been in opposition to it,â€? Puchmayr added.

How the city funds Summary of city grant funding to New Westminster community festivals including in-kind services: 2013 2012 Hyack Festival Association $180,000 $170,175 Downtown BIA $31,000 $26,739 FRDC $5,250 $2,380 Sapperton BA $15,366 $10,562 West End BA $10,700 $6,981 Pride Society $3,000 $5,000 Arts Council $4,700 $4,000 Quayside $0 $0 Summerfest $0 $0 Source: City of New Westminster

â€œI donâ€™t even believe we need a full-time staff person or even a six-month staff person. I think a very clear template of checks and balances that the community can use is (enough).â€? The BIA also suggested having the option of providing multi-year grants so

events can be assured of running from year to year, especially since sponsorship deals are often long term. Harper said the city should look at having three-year contracts with the organizations explicitly saying how much money will be given, and what outcome the funding

is expected to produce instead of just giving the money out. â€œIt gives predictability to the festivals,â€? said Harper. Puchmayr was surprised at the range of costs involved with some festivals being put on with a shoestring budget while others get huge sponsorship and are staged with virtually no city money. Staff will prepare a report identifying the common issues and themes of the presentations and produce recommendations for council to consider at its Oct. 21 meeting. twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

City joins neighbours for business licensing New Westminster has joined with five other Lower Mainland communities to offer an intermunicipal business licence service.

The cities have adopted a common bylaw that allows businesses to purchase an inter-municipal business licence rather than having to get one

for each municipality they operate in. Other cities involved are Burnaby, Delta, Richmond, Surrey and Vancouver.

New Westminster started one for SD40 to provide a source of revenue for the district. Although it struggled in the early years and was quite controversial, Atkinson said it made enough money to pay off the $1 million loan, plus interest, given to it by the district and return more than $300,000 in profit in recent years. (He stressed the loan came from the district’s international education revenue and not from operating funds supplied by the ministry.) But the new regulations that took effect Jan. 1, 2013 changed everything. “It will be a loss of future revenue,” said Atkinson. “We are on the plus side of the ledger this year, and this will lose future opportunities for revenue assuming it was a going concern [under the old regulations].” Atkinson was a trustee on the school

was definitely a right thing to do,” said Atkinson. “If you look at it, it was a lot of work to generate the $1.5 million to give back to the district. Considering how much

effort and energy put into it I’m not sure it would have made sense. It would have made sense if it continued to operate under the rules it had the last couple of years.”

Atkinson said the business company will continue to operate until all bills are paid and revenue received. It will be up to the board of education to formally shut it down.

Fraser shipping could bloom without tunnel Efficient ship loading may cut unneeded truck trips: CEO

might attract. The terminal is also in the midst of a contentious proposal to open a new coalhandling facility that would transfer coal from trains onto barges and send it to Texada Island for reloading to

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Eliminating the Massey Tunnel would open up the Fraser River to expanded shipping that could in some cases help take truck traffic off the roads. Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott lists that as one of the benefits that would come with a new Deas Island bridge promised by the province, provided the tunnel is removed and the channel is dredged. “I think it creates opportunities for growth and expansion up and down the Fraser River that could result in thousands of jobs and significant economic benefit,” Scott said. Ships carrying more containers are among those that could sail upstream if the channel is deepened to allow vessels loaded to a draft of 13.5 metres, instead of the limit of 11.5 metres now. That wouldn’t necessarily mean larger ships sailing on the river. Scott said Panamaxsize vessels – the same size as the oil tankers that load at Kinder Morgan’s terminal on

larger ships. Asked if Fraser Surrey Docks could load ocean-going coal ships after the tunnel is gone, rather than barging first to Texada, Scott said he’s focused on proceeding with the coal terminal as it’s

now proposed. Asked if an alternate oil export terminal on the river for Kinder Morgan’s pipeline might be another possibility, Scott said he’s heard no talk of that.

Fraser Surrey Docks is located on the east bank of the Fraser River in North Delta, between the Alex Fraser and Pattullo Bridges.

Burrard Inlet – already sail up to Fraser Surrey Docks, but they can’t be fully loaded because of the channel depth at the tunnel. “You’ll see the same ships, we could just load larger volume on them,” he predicted. That’s significant because it’s uneconomic right now for shippers to essentially pay twice to use two ships, along with the cost of loading them, when they could instead send out one fully loaded from a different terminal. “It’s economies of

scale,” Scott said. “If they have to pay twice they go somewhere else where they only have to pay once to load a vessel up.” Scott uses the example of the Interfor sawmill that’s adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks. It can’t fully load lumber on a ship at Fraser Surrey Docks so it instead trucks all that lumber across town to Burrard Inlet, where a large ship can be filled to capacity with Interfor lumber, the same as the forest company’s competitors do.

“You have all that impact on the community and roads of trucking that to Vancouver, just to accommodate a deeper draft vessel,” he said. Scott said there might actually be fewer ships moving on the river, but more fully loaded. The terminal also hopes to drum up more shipping business with more efficient, heavily laden vessels. Scott lists wheat, grains and specialty crops, as well as potash and forest products, as the likeliest cargo types Fraser Surrey Docks

Frequent users of the Canada Games Pool will be able to resume their strokes in familiar waters again on Saturday. That’s when the well-used aquatic facility will reopen after a scheduled maintenance closure that began Aug. 12. The repairs included repainting of the 50-metre Olympic-sized tank and sealing of some cracks in the lining. The diving tower deck was also replaced as was cement surrounding the pool filtration pit. The pool was built for the 1973 Canada Games and receives up to 1,000 visits a day.

Hospital cleaners strike a deal Cleaning and kitchen staff at Royal Columbian and Burnaby hospitals won’t be going on strike. Members of the Hospital Employees’ Union, which represents 1,300 workers in hospitals and extended care facilities in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health regions reached a tentative agreement with their employer, Aramark, late Tuesday. Members had voted 97 per cent in favour of a strike, and groups of employees had recently held rallies outside local hospitals. Negotiations resumed Monday with the help of mediator Vince Ready. The agreement will give workers “significant improvements” to their health

and benefits plan, including dental, paramedical coverage and extended health care, said HEU business manager Bonnie Pearson. “This agreement improves the economic security of our members and their families,” she said.

Get a trim for trees Getting your hair done in New Westminster can help two indigenous tribes in North America eat healthier. Zoom Hair Salon at 37 6th St. is hosting a Sustainable Beauty Day on Sunday. The studio is offering its services for a minimum $15 donation with all the money raised going to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit charity that is seeking to plant 18 billion fruit trees around the globe as well as restore native ecosystems. “We envision a place where one can have a summer picnic under the shade of a fruit tree, breathe the clean air it generates, and not have to bring anything other than an appetite for the healthy fruits growing overhead,” says the group’s mission statement. Previous sustainable beauty days have helped communities in Mozambique and Brazil. The funds raised by this year’s event will go to agricultural projects and education in the Hopi and Zia nations in the Southwestern United States.

A day to celebrate teachers There may not be any local celebrations of World Teachers’ Day on Saturday, but that doesn’t make it any less important. “I am constantly in awe of the work that our teachers are doing with our students in their classrooms,” said John Woudzia, the superintendent WOUDZIA of the New Westminster school district. “I would encourage you to take time out of your busy schedule to think about World Teachers’ Day or to find out something about this important day of recognition for our teachers.” World Teachers Day was first proclaimed by UNESCO in 1994 and is celebrated in more than 100 countries from Pakistan to Dubai to the small coral atolls of Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand. “I am very pleased that an international level of recognition exists for teachers that serves to acknowledge the critical role they play in the intellectual, social and emotional development of our students,” said Woudzia.

Stylish living at Woodbridge’s Salix in Surrey By Kerry Vital

The Clayton Heights neighbourhood is one of Surrey’s most popular areas for families and first-time buyers alike, with its easy access to amenities, shopping, dining and recreation. Now Woodbridge Homes is offering beautiful homes at a great value with its condominium development Salix. “Sales have been going very well here,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “We’re in the final stage of sales now, with a good

variety of homes left.” The remaining plans are mostly two-bedroom and den plans, ranging from 850 to 1,000 square feet. The five-storey Georgian-inspired building features a red brick exterior, lush landscaping and classic iron work, and every home includes a patio or balcony. Oversized windows let natural light pour in while the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and bottom floors) add an incredible sense of space to your new home. Most units feature beautiful views, so you may have

some trouble tearing yourself away from spending all your free time outside taking in the scenery, including Mount Baker. “The location has been working really well for us,” Carlsen says. “You’re in a small, quiet building that really stands above the crowd.” Homes start at $219,900. For more information, visit www. salixliving.com, call 604-530-0054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Polygon’s Canyon Springs is built in a West Coast style, and features spacious floorplans with gorgeous features such as rich laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops.

Natural beauty abounds at Canyon Springs By Kerry Vital

The Lower Mainland is famous for its outdoor lifestyle and variety of recreational activities. Most residents think of the North Shore when they want to get outside. Now, Polygon is bringing outdoor living and gorgeous homes together with Canyon Springs, its new collection of apartment residences in North Vancouver. “There are no other comparable new communities in Lynn Valley,” says sales manager Laura Cavanagh. “It’s been popular with local buyers especially since we are currently offering buyers a special financing

package.” Available until Oct. 14 only, Polygon is offering five-year, 2.95 per cent financing as part of their pre-construction sales program. “This is a great opportunity to secure a home before we close our doors on Oct. 14,” says Cavanagh. The curb appeal is readily apparent at Canyon Springs, with its contemporary West Coast architecture that fits perfectly with the surrounding natural beauty of the neighbourhood. The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment residences are spacious and inviting, ranging from about 630 to 1,100 square feet. “These are really efficient floorplans,” Cavanagh says. “There’s no wasted space at all.” Elegant laminate flooring throughout (with plush carpeting in the bedrooms) sets a modern tone for your new space, complemented by the nine-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Buyers can choose between two colour schemes, Dark and

White. The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with stainless-steel appliances and premium rift-cut, flat-panel cabinetry in oak or glossy white. The cabinets are complemented by engineered stone countertops, a handset tile backsplash and contemporary halogen track and under-cabinet lighting. The bathrooms are relaxing and luxurious, with imported porcelain tile flooring, flatpanel laminate cabinetry and a modern tub with a ceramic tile tub and shower surround. Your morning routine will be easy with the modern vanity mirror and lighting. The ensuite also includes engineered stone countertops and Grohe polished chrome tub and shower faucets that lend a touch of elegance to the space. The outdoors is all around you at Canyon Springs, and residents will easily be able to take advantage of this on their large deck or patio. Most ground-level homes will even have a private yard. Homeowners at Canyon Springs will have

access to a fully equipped fitness studio overlooking an outdoor terrace, an on-site resident manager, a dog wash station and bike cleaning area and a spacious lounge with a fireplace. The landmark corner will also showcase a dramatic water feature and cast bronze art piece designed by local artist Marie Khouri. Venturing off the property, you’ll find shopping, dining and schools all nearby, as well as the North Shore mountains and easy transit or car access to downtown Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland. The close-knit community of Lynn Valley is like very few others in Metro Vancouver, where everyone from shoppers to yogis and freeriders to dog walkers enjoys an ideal balance between wild spaces and urban convenience. Homes start at $359,900. For more information on the homes or the special financing package, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-973-0298 or drop by the presentation centre at 2517 Mountain Highway, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.
