An Anna’s hummingbird, a species of bird that was once rare in the region, has exploded in population in the last few years. That’s one of the findings of the annual Christmas bird count in the Tri-Cities — held on Dec. 14 — which is part of a North America-wide count that started in the early 1900s as a way of replacing the annual bird hunt. In the Tri-Cities, numbers have been kept since the early 1990s. For more, see article on page A9.

Heavy metal heists hit five SUV owners By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sport utility vehicle owners in Coquitlam are being warned after a string of thefts of catalytic converters occurred this week in the Austin Avenue area between Mariner Way and Laurentian Crescent. In the five thefts, the vehicles targeted were either Toyota 4Runners or Tacomas built between 1997 and 2001, according to Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. see SUVS EASY, page A3

Cost cutting hitting Tri-City classrooms Parents should be concerned, says union president By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Cuts made earlier this year to stem the bleeding at School District 43 are showing up in larger class sizes and the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association (CTA) says
this is a worrying trend. Dozens m o r e classes have the m a x i KING m u m number of students, compared to last year, and more students with special needs are being squeezed into these larger classes. Charley King, the CTA
president, says this is the result of the district chopping 80 teachers in a bid to cut $12 million and balance the budget for 2013/’14. “This ought to be a concern of any parent or member of the public,” King said, noting the statistics report a worrying trend that may not improve because the district continues to have financial constraints. The numbers reported
by the province show class size averages also increased slightly this year and the number of classes with three or more special needs students with individual education plans has also climbed. One of the biggest changes seems to be in the number of classes with the maximum number of students. see SD43, page A13

Coquitlam rCMP says its statistics show that people who go out during the Christmas season and drink alcohol are increasingly finding safe ways home.
Low Interest Rates Combined with
CASH REBATES (offer varies by model)
While the numbers have been trending downwards the last few seasons, Coquitlam RCMP Traffic Services Sgt. Dave Fee said police will be keeping up the pressure. “It’s a positive change in the right direction but there is much work to be done,” he said. “Since impaired driving related fatalities and injuries are 100% preventable, we shouldn’t even have one
person dead or injured as a result of impaired driving.” The Drinking Driving CounterAttack program has been in existence for 35 years. Each December — a month known to see a statistical spike in drunk driving — police across the province increase the number of roadblocks they conduct to catch impaired motorists.
A new year brings a fresh set of increased fees and charges for Coquitlam residents as well as businesses and developers in the city. Last month, city council approved the 2014 rate bylaw, which is expected to add $222,600 to the general revenue plus an additional $580,000 to the utility fund. The fee bump includes the standardization of all recreation facility levies under the new One Pass program that was implemented Jan. 1 and will take effect starting April 1, single admission to all of Coquitlam rec centres (i.e., pool, skating, fitness) will be: $5.71 for adults, $4.29 for youths and seniors, and $2.86 for kids and seniors over 85. A monthly One Pass will cost: $51.90 for adults, $38.93 for youths and seniors, and $25.95 for kids and seniors over 85. Meanwhile, youth groups will continue to pay nothing to rent sports fields and courts in Coquitlam, a policy that was adopted several years ago to encourage more kids to get active.
Thieves pick these types of vehicles because they are higher off the ground and, thus, easier to get underneath. “Any vehicle manufactured after 1974 can be a target,” Chung said. “However, trucks and sports utility vehicles are the vehicles being targeted the most.” Thefts of catalytic converters have become increasingly common in recent years. Chung said thieves steal the emission-control devices because they are easy to remove and contain expensive metals, including platinum and copper. Police say drivers can take some steps to protect their vehicles. Some muffler shops will weld extra metal to the exhaust system to make it difficult to remove the catalytic converter. The devices can also be etched or engraved with a licence plate number that identifies the rightful owner should the item be recovered by police. Vehicles should also be parked in garages whenever possible, Chung added. A motorist who has had a catalytic converter stolen will likely realize they have been victimized when they start their engine. Without the device, the vehicle sounds like it is operating without a muffler, making a deep, loud noise. Coquitlam RCMP is urging Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam residents to call 604-945-1550 if they see any suspicious activity and to call 911 if they see a crime in progress. Those who have information about the recent thefts can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously by calling 1-800222-8477 or by going to solvecrime.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

crashes in the month of December has also dropped in recent years, Chung noted. In 2013, 31 collisions occurred, the same as in 2012, however down from the 41 recorded in 2011 and the 43 recorded in 2010. Chung said that while not all accidents are related to alcohol, the numbers show that in general, Tri-City roads are getting safer during the holidays.

By Gary McKenna The number of people getting caught drinking and driving over the holiday season is on the decline, according to CounterAttack statistics compiled by Coquitlam RCMP. According to local Mounties, 31 impaired drivers were taken off the road in December, a decrease of 46 from last year’s CounterAttack effort and significantly lower than the 131 arrested in 2009. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the numbers show that drivers are finding other ways to get home when they have had a few drinks over the holidays. “We think that some of the people are getting the message,” he said. “Not all of them, though, which is disappointing.” The number of

Another year, another jump in the number of Christmas season revellers driven safely home by Operation Red Nose volunteers. And another increase in the amount of money raised through ORN. The service, whose volunteers drive people and their vehicles home if they have had too much to drink over the holidays, raised $27,640 this season, an increase from last year’s record of $27,296. Proceeds from the annual
Year
ORN has seen a dramatic increase in its numbers since expanding the service to include Burnaby and New Westminster in 2012. In 2011, for example, 556 rides were given, raising $17,162 and in 2010, only 382 rides were given, raising $10,181. Wilson also noted that 60 new volunteers helped out with the program this year, people he hopes will come back when the service starts up again next holiday season. Since 2007, Operation Red Nose has operated for the four weekends prior to Christmas and on New Year’s Eve. For more information, go to kidsporttricities.com.

The major shifts will see the building heights around the old Barnet Hotel site on St. Johns Street reduced from 26 storeys to six and references limiting building density and limiting heights to 28 storeys removed from the portion covering the city’s waterfront. Mayor Mike Clay said removing the references on building height and floor space ratio would alleviate fears among the public that the Mill and Timber site would see 28-storey development because that’s what is allowed in the OCP. “People were concerned that by putting that information in there, we were inferring that that form of development was approved and it would go ahead,” said Clay, adding the Mill and Timber site would go back to being designated a special study area. Coun. Rick Glumac opposed the changes, saying it takes information out of the OCP and leaves more
decisions in the hands of developers. “This is our opportunity to capture MIKE CLAY as much as we can from what we’ve heard from the public,” said Glumac, who objected to suggestions that the changes would provide more flexibility for the area. “What are we wanting flexibility with? To go higher than 28 storeys? Is that the kind of flexibility we want?” Clay rejected that suggestion, saying developments in the area would never exceed 28 storeys and that the site deserves to be viewed on its own through a special study area. Glumac said concerns from the public prompted him to propose reducing the building heights for the old Barnet Hotel site and five neighbouring properties from 26 storeys down to six, a motion that passed with Clay and councillors Gerry Nuttall and Bob Elliott opposed. “One of the things I’ve heard on several occasions is concern around the proximity of those potential towers next to singlefamily residential, with no real transition in between,” said Glumac, adding a high-density development on the corner of St. John’s
a n d Barnet/ Albert could also result in severe traffic congesRICK GLUMAC tion. T h e mayor also successfully pushed through a motion that would allow developers to exceed the 12-storey limit in Moody Centre in exchange for community open space. “It seems like the primary objection to the density at the Moody Centre transit station is that we don’t have enough parks and green space for these people,”said Clay. He said the change would allow developers looking to build a 160-unit project on a four-acre site to instead use only one acre for the development and set aside the other three acres for community amenity space. “We don’t need to do this,” said Glumac, adding it was “throwing out all height allowances” for the area. Council unanimously approved a motion to develop a neighbourhood plan for the Coronation Park area to determine the appropriate density. “Coronation Park is going to be a difficult neighbourhood at the best of times. It seems to be almost a 50/50 split,” said Clay, adding this will allow
residents to have their own process to determine what the area will look like in the future. Council also approved a change to the population figures included in the OCP, adjusting the estimate for 2041 from 59,000 down to a projected population of 50,000. “The numbers are all just speculation at the best of times,” said Clay, adding a 50,000 population is something the community is more comfortable with. But Glumac said the change in population estimates will allow future councils to better to determine if developments are in keeping with population targets. “Too much development will destroy the small-town character of Port Moody. We have to preserve what we have here,” he said, pointing out this is the first time SkyTrain has come through a small town. Staff will now work on the revisions to the OCP before it comes back to council next month, when the public will have another opportunity to provide input. The document will then go to the land use committee before coming back to council for the initial readings of the bylaw. The OCP would then need to be sent to the Metro Vancouver board for comment before going back to public hearing, then to council for final adoption. debenal@tricitynews.com

Which way to go? City is aiming to make that clear with signage Sign plan push due to coming of Evergreen Line
One less trip, please A publicity campaign and education program are expected to roll out this year convincing people to take one less car trip a week. The pledge is part of an effort by the city of Coquitlam and TransLink to promote change in the way people travel in the region, with prizes for those who take the pledge. It’s being promoted at travelsmart.ca/coquitlam along with information about good options for walking, cycling and transit. Schools and businesses are also being targeted to enrol in initiatives to promote alternatives to driving. To pay for the program, Coquitlam will spend $7,000 to leverage another $33,000 in funding from TransLink and will provide advertising in 15 bus shelters.
By Diane Strandberg ThE Tri-CiTy NEwS
Tri-City residents and visitors will have no excuse for getting lost in Coquitlam if the city’s wayfinding plan comes to fruition. Beginning this year, the city will be identifying locations that need signage to help people find Evergreen Line stations, public parking, cycling routes and parks. Wayfinding is a system of information elements that help people connect with key destinations. Signs can incorporate neighbourhood themes and public art, and information kiosks can help people navigate their city on foot, by car or bicycle, said Catherine Mohoruk, the city’s manager of transportation planning.
New Town Centre field A well-used grass field at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park will be replaced with artificial turf this year. The city is replacing the north field, located east of Cunnings Field — another turf facility — at a cost of $2.5 million. The synthetic conversion of the 13,500 sq. m. field — about double the size of a standard ground — is expected to be ready in time for the start of the soccer season this fall, said Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks and recreation, noting the work is set to get underway in May and wrap up by October. Allueva said residents will be able to view the design plans and learn more about the construction impacts at an open house that is scheduled to take place next month. The full-field replacement is the first priority under the 10-year Sportsfield Strategy, a $10-million plan that city council adopted last summer. Next on the agenda is the $1-million upgrade of the artificial turf carpet at Dr. Charles Best secondary school and, in 2016, the $1.3-million improvement of the north and south fields at Mackin Park in Maillardville. Coquitlam has 75 sports fields, 42 for sports such as soccer, football, field lacrosse and grass hockey, and 33 for baseball and softball. jwarren@tricitynews.com

“The users of wayfinding are often folks that are new to the area and we do have a large number of folks that are moving here — we are one
of the high-growth areas. I think people want to have more information about where they want to go,”she explained. The coming of the Evergreen Line is the catalyst for implementing a wayfinding strategy. TransLink and various groups, including cyclists and seniors, will be consulted, with the goal of having the new signs
in place for 2016, when the line opens. Now, the city wants to figure out which destinations should be featured and will be looking at various designs that can be used to reinforce the city’s brand. Some examples the city is looking at range from heritage signage incorporating public art in Sapperton in New Westminster to

stylish kiosks with maps and transit information used in False Creek in Vancouver. “It is an opportunity to utilize public art and those are some of the pieces we can talk to council about — (how) to incorporate public art in the process,” Mohoruk said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bird numbers are on the rise By Gary McKenna
A species of bird that was virtually non-existent in the Tri-Cities only a few years ago has seen a significant increase in its local population, according to statistics from the recent Christmas bird count. Elaine Golds, a member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and a volunteer with the annual count, told The Tri-City News the population of the Anna’s hummingbird has exploded in the area. Prior to 2008, the species had not turned up in the Christmas count statistics. This year, more than 25 were counted, an increase from five last year and nine in 2011. “Their [overall] numbers seem to always be increasing,” Golds said. “There are so many people that have feeders for them.” John Reynolds, another member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and an ecologist and professor at Simon Fraser University, said the Anna’s hummingbird population has been slowly expanding northward for the last several years. He said they have become increasingly common in
bird populations,”he said. “Intensification of agriculture has directly correlated in an 80 to 90% decline in some of these species that require open fields.” The Burke Mountain Naturalists organize the annual bird count west of the Pitt River. All of the data is collected and sent to Bird Studies Canada, which shares the statistics with the National Audubon Society in the U.S. The Christmas bird count started in the early 1900s as a way of replacing the annual bird hunt. In the Tri-Cities, numbers have been kept since the early 1990s.

An Anna’s hummingbird spotted during the annual christmas bird count in the tri-cities. the Lower Mainland and in the southern region of Vancouver Island. “It’s thought that a combination of milder winters and an increase in hummingbird feeders may have helped increase their numbers,” Reynolds said.“It’s amazing that a nectar-feeding species can survive our winters.” Overall, Christmas bird count statistics stayed relatively consistent this year. More than 8,500 birds were counted, comprising about 83 species, according to the data, which was collected by 60 volunteers across the Tri-Cities on Dec. 14. That number is up from 2012, when 7,100 birds were tallied, but

down from 2011’s record, which saw 10,000 birds counted. Numbers can be affected by a variety of factors, weather among them, and year-to-year fluctuations are common, Reynolds said. A one-year snap shot may not mean much but decades of data collection help researchers understand long-term trends in the local bird population, he added. For example, Reynolds’ analysis has found the neighbouring Pitt Meadows area has seen a decrease in the types of birds that rely on what is called rough pasture — land similar to that found at Colony Farm in Coquitlam. He attributes this decline to the fact
that many farmers on the east side of the Pitt River have switched from using their land for cattle grazing to berry growing. “We can actually document how changes in land use practices affects

Going for gold

■ WHAT WE THINK:
T
he armchair coaches now questioning the picks for the Canadian men’s Olympic hockey team have a few more weeks to discuss their preferred dream team before the Olympics begin. The truth is, the players are all standouts and we’ll enjoy watching them take on the world at Sochi. There may be a few more top-notch Canadian hockey players who could have been added to the team — this country produces a lot of them — but for now, let’s get behind the team that is about to don our nation’s colours. Let’s also root for the 21-player Canadian women’s hockey team that was chosen to much less fanfare in December. This squad of outstanding athletes is sure to put on a great show and is favoured to win a fourth consecutive Olympic gold, with the American side — as it was in 2010 in Vancouver — the greatest competition. If hockey is Canada’s game, then the Olympics is sure to be the highlight of fans’ hockey experience this year.

Five New Year’s resolutions for B.C.’s politicians AS I SEE IT Dermod Travis
I
t’s that time when many of us have made resolutions for the new year. Most of them are lofty goals aimed at selfimprovement: quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more often are all among the popular ones. So in that spirit, here are five ideas for B.C. politicians to consider as they kick off 2014:
1. Stop trying to defy gravity.
Voters aren’t dummies. They can add, subtract, and remember what you said yesterday, the year before, and in the last election. Families First? Check. Cleanest liquefied natural gas in the world? Check. BC Ferries is an independent corporation free of government interference? Check.
2. Avoid most words that end in ‘est.’
Politicians like to boast but there are some words that should be banned from your lexicon in 2014.These include: best, biggest, cleanest, largest.You can throw in“world class”as well.
No politician would ever say they’re going to come up with the second best solution or use inferior technology but leave it up to others to determine if it’s the best, biggest, cleanest or world class.
3. Don’t make job creation promises you can’t cash.
No one likes it when a politician breaks a promise but there’s a big difference when it comes to breaking one on creating jobs. The unemployed aren’t just the numbers British Columbians see in monthly Stats Canada reports; they’re also the faces of those relying upon their partner, father or mother to find a job. And it hurts even more when the unemployed see many of the new jobs going to temporary foreign workers. With more than 5,300 B.C. businesses holding temporary foreign worker permits, there’s the potential for a lot of hurt. Decent jobs mean a great deal to those who need them. Don’t let them down.
4. Don’t hold public consultations that are only intended to seek validation for a course already decided upon or keep holding them until you get the answer you want.
From service cuts at BC Ferries to bike lanes

in Kitsilano, there’s a perception that local councils and the provincial government may hold public consultations just to provide political cover for a decision already taken. Bad idea. It feeds public cynicism. Public consultations will have more credibility when you approach them with an open mind regarding the outcome rather than simply extending a rubber stamp in the hope the public will take it and acquiesce to a course of action you’ve already decided upon.
5. Stop auditioning for The Brick.
B.C. may have the lowest personal tax rate in Canada but that doesn’t mean it has the lowest tax burden and taxpayers know it. Don’t insult their intelligence by suggesting they’re getting off easy when it comes to taxes and fees. While it may be politically expedient to reduce a 28% hydro rate hike over five years into “only $5 a month more in the first year,”don’t. A $5-per-month hike may not seem much but it’s on top of similar“only a few dollars a month more”increases for ICBC premiums, BC Ferries fares and MSP premiums. And that’s at the provincial level.
Locally, ratepayers face “only a few dollars a month more” increases in property taxes, sewer and water utility fees, garbage fees and Metro Vancouver taxes, plus transit subsidies (including fares, transit dedicated property taxes and fuel taxes). And all of these “a few dollars here and a few dollars there” increases come out of some of the lowest median family incomes in Canada and from family budgets that pay some of Canada’s highest housing costs. A few other stats to keep in mind when you’re trying to reduce rate hikes to the ridiculous: B.C. university students are graduating with the highest student debt load in Canada; the average consumer is carrying non-mortgage debt in excess of $25,000; and more than 40% of British Columbians live paycheque to paycheque. There’s little left in their pockets to pick except lint, so stop explaining away rate hikes in terms better suited to furniture retailers. Keeping these five resolutions will play well with British Columbians.

FACE TO FACE: Should cyclists in B.C. be licensed and taxed?
Two-wheelers are getting a free ride H
ere’s an idea for our friends at TransLink, our local governments and even the politicos in Victoria: If you want another revenue source to pay for road and bridge infrastructure, start registering and taxing cyclists. It’s an issue that’s actually being debated south of the border right now. The lively discourse was recently sparked after a Chicago city councillor proposed an annual $25 fee for that city’s bike riders. “My rationale is that we have an increase in bike ridership in the city, have provided bike lanes for bike riders and they utilize the road, just like the people who drive cars and trucks,”Ald. Pat Dowell said in October.“If we have to register our cars, bikes ought to be registered as well.” Other jurisdictions, both in the United States and Canada, have also pondered such a levy. In 2010 in Toronto, Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti said that if he were elected mayor, he would introduce a $20 to $30 registration fee for bikes in Canada’s largest city. “The suburbs don’t want to continue to subsidize these pet projects,” he said with regard to building new
downtown bike lanes, according to the Toronto Star.“If those that want to ride bikes want to continue to change infrastructure and cost the taxpayer $4 million a year, then they should pay for it.” It makes a lot of sense. In Metro Vancouver, as well, bikers are getting a free-ride — figuratively and literally. Every day, as a driver, I’m paying gas taxes, tolls and parking levies to help fund our roads and bridges. A cyclist, on the other hand, is using that infrastructure and, in some cases, special bike infrastructure (i.e., bike lanes) but doesn’t pay any of those user fees. How is that fair? Opponents to the idea argue that putting the bureaucracy in place to charge cyclists a licensing fee is too costly. Well, there’s a simple solution to that: charge cyclists more to pay for that bureaucracy. And while they’re at it, the powers that be need to start enforcing our helmet laws and use the fines collected to help fund road and bike infrastructure as well. Biking is great for personal health and the environment. But it’s time to stop the free ride.

Don’t discourage green transport Y
ou want to license bicycles, Andy? This is a silly idea and you, of all people, should be against it. You have a visceral dislike of government bureaucracy. Government is the problem, not the solution. We need government to get out of the way. Remember? This is your mantra. Yet, the government should make people trot over to the Motor Vehicle Branch and cough up $25 to register their bikes and get a licence plate, on pain of… what? If one refuses to get a bike licence, what is Victoria to do about it? Would the RCMP conduct roadside checks to screen for bike licences and cyclist sobriety? Would they dole out fines, tickets and roadside suspensions to kids with no bike licence or too many noisy baseball cards in their spokes? What about tricyclists, unicyclists and those who use other modes of self-propulsion that use our infrastructure without paying? Walkers, scooter users and skateboarders have been using our infrastructure gratis for years — shouldn’t we license these deadbeats, too? The mind boggles. And this scheme would make money? Right, just like Coquitlam’s pay parking.
But the silly logistics are a minor reason to be against licensing bicycles. The main reason is that we want to encourage people to cycle rather than burn carbon. We don’t want to deter them or make them pay. When someone takes a bike instead of a car, they make a healthy personal and environmental choice that is good for all of us. Look, I’m not crazy about the Lycra, those gloves with the fingers cut off or the self-righteous attitudes of some cyclists, but forcing cyclists to pay because some of them annoy us is a bit adolescent. I know Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson may be too far left for you, and oil companies are funding noisy anti-cyclist groups. It’s hard to resist jumping on the anti-bike bandwagon and buying a Climate Change is a Hoax T-shirt. A car is a lethal weapon requiring assurance that operators aren’t incompetent or impaired. Bicycles don’t need such scrutiny and they damage neither the environment nor our infrastructure. Licensing bicycles is a petulant idea. I don’t like what you’re pedalling — er, peddling — this week, Andy.

Burke study captures wider area By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The last section of C o q u i t l a m ’ s B u r ke Mountain to be built will undergo a much wider study than previously planned. Instead of a neighbourhood plan that was scheduled for the Hazel Drive-Harper Road area — located at the top of Coast Meridian Road — city staff instead will look at a bigger picture for 990 acres that will include: • quarry lands west of the Coquitlam River; • a development reserve south and east of Hazel-Harper; • and Riverwalk, a privately held property that wraps around HazelHarper to the west and north. The study area is south of the Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. On Thursday, Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, told The Tri-City News the city’s 30-year vision is aimed at looking at the 3125"connection X 8" between the

Coquitlam city planning staff said a much wider visioning study will be conducted for the last parcels of land on Burke Mountain. northwestern properties. “It’s such a range of areas that we thought the visioning approach made more sense,” he said. And, as with the Tr a n s i t - O r i e n t e d Development Strategy — a new city policy developed for land around the upcoming Evergreen Line — the visioning concept is expected to go much quicker than a more detailed neighbourhood plan and, in some cases, allow land-
owners to apply for an OCP change right after the visioning process is complete. Currently, Coquitlam has four neighbourhood plans for Burke Mountain: Upper Hyde Creek, Lower Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek, the last of which council adopted last fall. In total, more than 25,000 people are expected to call Burke home over the next 30 years, of which4_NE011G114 up to

8,000 could go in the northwest Burke visioning area. But lumping the lands together isn’t in the best interest of the Hazel Drive Neighbours’ Association, spokesperson Glenn Toppings told council last month. The scope is too broad, he complained, and many Hazel residents have been waiting years to redevelop their semi-rural properties. (Years ago, Hazel had the chance to be part of the Smiling Creek Neighbourhood Plan but declined.) Hazel consists of older homes — many still occupied by the original landowners — and are serviced with municipal water but not city sanitary sewers. In many cases, the septic systems are failing or below standard. McIntyre said on
Th u r s d ay t h e c i t y decided to include Riverwalk in the vision for“completeness.” “Why leave a pocket there?” he asked. “You don’t want to omit that portion.” A decade ago, the city put preconditions on Riverwalk — i.e., installing a Coquitlam River bridge, establishing a school site, etc. — before development could start but those have yet to be met. Meanwhile, city staff are organizing a public advisory group to develop the Northwest Burke Vision. And a workshop with area landowners as well as an open house is set to take place before the summer. The draft Northwest Burke Vision is expected to go before city council for consideration early next year. jwarren@tricitynews.com

SD43 class sizes in same range as other districts, says administrator continued from front page
In kindergarten the number of classes at the maximum rose from 14 to 22; in Grades 1 to 3, that number went from 30 to 72; in Grades 4 to 7, the increase was from 48 to 125; and in Grades 8 to 12, it was 360 to 400. (The legislated maximums are 22 students for kindergarten classes, 24 for Grades 1 to 3, and 30 for Grades 4 to 12). King said it’s not surprising classes are larger and more complex after the district whittled down its teaching staff
COMING UP
Next Tuesday, Jan. 14, the Coquitlam board of education is expected to get a financial update and trustees will decide whether to move forward with an initiative to sell land to fund future capital projects.
to avoid a deficit. But he said he’s worried about the impact on student learning this year and what the future holds for 2014. “This should be about access and students getting what they need,” King said, laying some of the blame for larger and
more complex classes on the province. SD43 assistant superintendent Sylvia Russell agreed that cuts to teaching staff have resulted in larger class sizes but she said efforts were made not to exceed maximums unless teachers requested larger classes
for subjects such as band and choir. Russell also said it’s difficult to compare last year with this year because the province changed the definition of a class. Special programs for students with learning difficulties are now counted as classes and they have a higher proportion of students with special needs. “It happened because there was a change in the definition of class,” Russell said. “I can’t give you a good analysis on the impact of kids with special needs.”
But she said the district is no longer a provincial leader in larger class sizes because more districts are keeping classes to the legislated maximum to avoid paying teachers for extra students. “We’re still very high at [Grades] 4-to-7 and at the 8-to-12 level but we’re in the range with other districts,”she said. • Have you noticed larger classes in your child’s school?

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that
The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area inside; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable. The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,
there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality. It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition. Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here. When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering. The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times
Question
when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy. The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.
OF THE WEEK:
Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

years, I’ve driven thousands of kilometres along highspeed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for a variety of high-powered cars. One of the most memorable trips I drove was the 585 km between Munich and Berlin, which I covered in an Audi A6, with a 2.8-litre V6 generating 207 horse-
up at a higher speed and you could be found partially responsible due to “increased operating danger.� Within an hour, I was comfortable with the car and itching to let it go. It seemed to be tugging to the right at one point but that was near the car’s birthplace at Ingolstadt. On the other hand, it could have been a crosswind. You can only pass another car in the left lane. The right lane is for slower vehicles so you risk a ticket if you pass on the right at any speed. That threat didn’t seem to worry too many in the approaches to the various urban areas along the way. As the traffic thinned, I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds. I
managed to do 180 km/h for about three minutes before slowing to 140 for a sustained period of around 20 minutes. Europe is full and nowhere is that more evident than on the roads. I
found 120 km/h was more
easily achieved for most of
the journey and seemed to
be more typical a speed for
most.
There’s the reality check: Generally, I agree that some of our freeways could stand a slight increase in the posted limit, especially in the rural areas where drivers would likely be able to maintain the top speed more easily than on the theoretically speed limitless autobahn.

power under the hood. Just like Vancouver, Munich is a thriving city and there’s congestion with a capital C even on the A9 autobahn. The queues continue even 30 km outside of the city but it must be said that they move at a uniform speed of 100 km/h! To say there are no speed limits is inaccurate: I encountered city areas where the maximum was 120 km/h overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are also restrictions on motorcycles, large trucks and for cars towing trailers. What I find most interesting was the unwritten rule, which, while it can’t be enforced, if you disobey it and are involved in a collision it may cost you. Say what? – The advisory speed limit under this “rule� is 130 km/h, referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit. Smash

Much motoring mythology surrounds Germany’s speed limit-less autobahns. Many readers who favour an increase in posted limits on our freeways point to the superbly engineered German highways as the example to follow. The latest round of praise follows the recent Insights West poll conducted for Black Press that found 37% back increased limits on routes such as the Coquihalla Highway. And doubtless B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone will hear the same in his review of highway speed limits during the eight regional public forums being held this month. Hate to be a party pooper but today’s autobahns really don’t live up to their past reputation. They are excellent to drive but if you expect to cruise along at 250 km/h for the duration of a multi-hour journey you will be disappointed. In recent

tem is a safety feature that continuously monitors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead and provides warnings. If a collision is imminent, it will also apply the brakes. There is also a lane departure warning and prevention system. Power: A 3.7 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 325 horsepower and 248 foot pounds of torque power this vehicle. The 7 speed automatic transmission is an electronically continuously variable (CVT) with manual shift capabilities, that features downshift rev matching technology. Pump frequency: 12.9/9.1 L/100km (city/ highway) Warranty support: 48 month/ 100,000 km Roadworthy: Excellent handling to this vehicle, steering was quick and responsive, and body roll was at a minimum. Even though the engine was more than adequate providing plenty of power, the CVT transmission was continuing to make adjustments and I found at times sudden bursts of power followed by a hard up shift. Definitely not something I expected with this type of luxury.

The Infiniti QX70 may be a looker but its range of safety equipment is its most attractive feature. Looks: It’s distinctive Infiniti look to it should attract many buyers. The projector style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they actually belong rather than appear an afterthought as is the case in some of its competitors. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the vehicle. LED rear brake lights and centre high-mounted stoplight sit atop the rear power lift-gate. Chrome accents around the windows give it a sense of elegance. The functional side vents on the rear of the front fenders give it a European sporty look and reduce front end tilt by 5%. In The Cab: The cabin seems large at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable you realize it is not all that big. Access to the controls is easy as they are well positioned. I like the navigation screen with 3D mapping and the around view monitor that gives you a bird’s eye view of the vehicle. An eight-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, six-way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding rear seats that individually fold flat, make for comfort. The audio system is a Bose 11 speaker with two subwoofers, AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. Color monitors are built in to headrests so rear passengers can enjoy movies or play their favourite games. There is an advanced climate control system that continuously cleans the cabin and automatically shuts off the outside air vents when exhaust fumes are detected. Safety first: The QX70 includes dual stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and front passenger side impact supplement airbags, roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor for all-row outboard occupant head protection.

A good vehicle match for an outdoor or active lifestyle owner.
’’
Bob McHugh
The Honda Crosstour, introduced for the 2010 model year, is a stylish and more versatile hatchback version of its Accord stable mate. Taller than its sedan counterpart, the Crosstour has more ground clearance, a cavernous cargo area and it’s available in both frontdrive and all-wheel-drive editions. A good vehicle match for an outdoor or active lifestyle owner, Crosstour retains the fuel economy and nice riding virtues of an Accord and adds the flexible storage options and the functionality of a utility vehicle, without the “boxy” design drawback. Prices seem higher than the sedan because every Crosstour comes with a comparable level of equipment as the EX-L (top-line) edition of the sedan. It also comes with a 3.5-litre V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission (no 4-cylinder 2010 to 2012). Called a J-series engine, this 4-valve/ cylinder, and 60-degree V6 also has variable valve timing and it’s built at a Honda engine plant in Anna, Ohio. A unique feature of this clever engine is its Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system that can seamlessly turn off one bank of cylinders when power demand is light, or transform it into a V4 for medium loads. Max power output is 271 horsepower and 254 ft-lb of torque. Its city/highway fuel economy rating is 11.7/7.2 and the all-wheel-drive system adds an extra 0.8 L/100km. A higher roofline translates into a significantly more spacious cabin that provides extra headroom for taller occupants. Handy release levers in its rear cargo area allow users to fold down the rear seats remotely, when extra cargo space is needed. Seat-up cargo volume is 729 litres (25.7 cu-ft) and there’s another 54 litres (1.9 cu-ft) in a large under-floor storage box. The Crosstour was largely unchanged for the 2011 model year and other than the addition of a standard
rearview camera, it was status quo again in 2012. For 2013, changes included a new lower-priced 4-cylilder edition and the V6 engine was coupled with a new 6-speed automatic transmission. Generally very good occupant protection ratings were marred by an IIHS roof crush test, which simulates a rollover. The 2010 Crosstour received a 2.82 strengthto-weight ratio result and a “marginal” rating. Hidden structural changes for the 2013 model year allowed it to achieve a 4.62 strengthto-weight ratio result, which is a “good” rating. Recalls on the 2010 to 2013 Honda Crosstour:
Price Check: 2010-’13 Honda Crosstour (Dec. 2013) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2010 2WD $19,000 to $23,000 2011 2WD $22,000 to $26,000 2012 2WD $26,000 to $30,000 2013 EX-L 2WD $31,000 to $35,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. 2010 – A bearing problem inside the automatic transmission may cause an electronic short circuit that causes the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the gear selector in the park position. Dealers will update the automatic transmission control module software.
2012 - The side curtain airbag inflators may be faulty and one or both airbags may not deploy as intended. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both side curtain airbags. 2013 - The fuel tank may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak fuel. Dealers will replace the fuel tank. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

Your medicine cabinet may contain unused or expired medications that can harm your family and the environment if not disposed of properly. This NewYear, the BC Pharmacy Association (BCPhA) and Metro Vancouver urge British Columbians to return old medications to their local pharmacy. “The NewYear is a great time to take a look in your medicine cabinet and double-check the expiry dates on your prescriptions,”said Don Cocar, president of the BCPhA.“It’s free for British Columbians to return unused or expired medications to pharmacies for safe and effective disposal.” B.C.’s Medications Return Program covers all prescription drugs; over-the-counter medications including topical antibiotic and anti-fungal creams; and natural health products that are
orally ingested, such as vitamins, minerals, traditional Chinese medicines, herbal products, probiotics and homeopathic medicines. The best way to return your medications to the pharmacy is to either combine loose pills into a small bag or black out your personal identification on the original containers. More information on the program can be found at www. healthsteward.ca. “Please don’t throw medications in the garbage or flush them down the toilet,”said Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, who is also the mayor of Port Coquitlam.“The free service provided by most pharmacies helps to keep drugs out of the trash, away from

GVHBA ready for exciting, busy year ahead By Kerry Vital
As 2014 begins, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is looking forward to some exciting events. On Feb. 5, the GVHBA will hold its Legends of Housing event in Burnaby, featuring Morningstar Homes Partner Dale Barron, Bosa Development Vice-President of Development Eric Martin and former President and Director of British Pacific Properties Ltd. Jim McLean. It will be moderated by
Ledingham McAllister President Ward McAllister. The BC Home + Garden Show will take place Feb. 19 to 23, and will feature the GVHBA Renovation Gallery, a 1,000-square-foot space featuring before-and-after photos of professionally renovated projects as well as free consultations with RenoMark renovators, designers, subtrades and suppliers. You’ll also find the HGTV Main Stage, with appearances from experts such as Bryan Baeumler, Mike Holmes Jr. and Sherry Holmes and Janette Ewen.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
March will bring the 20th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar, taking place at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. “Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.” A panel of experts will discuss a variety of topics, including the best location, what home type is best matched to wants, needs and financial resources, and legal considerations. Exhibitors will also be available beforehand to answer any questions and provide information to attendees. Pre-registration is required; you can register online or call 778-565-4288 Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank. For more information and for a full calendar of events, visit www.gvhba.org.

The views from Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain are truly spectacular, below, and Morningstar Homes is taking advantage of this with their view homes at Partington. With all the gorgeous features of Partington plus the amazing scenery, the homes are second-to-none.
Taking in the view on Burke Mountain By Kerry Vital
Morningstar Homes continues to impress with their latest release of amazing View Homes, an extension of Partington on Burke Mountain that combine beautiful homes and a view that’s second-to-none. “This is a really special offering,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There is a limited quantity of view homes available on Burke Mountain and they are in high demand.” The spectacular homes include all of the
gorgeous features of Partington, while also including some of the most beautiful views in the Lower Mainland. “It’s like being on top of the world,” says Calahan. “Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home. We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.” The four-bedroom homes at Partington are available in three different open-plan floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. All of them include an unfinished basement and a large private yard with patio or deck. The kitchens are truly huge, with granite islands, stainless-steel appliances and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas complements the 19-foot vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling linear fireplace. “These homes are very well laid-out” Calahan says. “There’s a sense of grandeur here. People are noting the ‘wow’ of the house; it takes your breath away.”
Partington is perfectly located for homeowners to live the Burke Mountain lifestyle. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping, dining and transit. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby. Partington joins Morningstar’s seven previous projects on Burke Mountain, including Belmont, Avondale and Kingston. “We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.” Morningstar was the first developer on Burke Mountain, and Calahan says that they’ve been welcomed with every project they build. She has increasingly seen friends and family members of other Morningstar buyers looking to purchase their own home. Every home at Partington has been selling well, with Calahan noting she is releasing
more lots for sale this weekend. “Demand is high for a quality product by a trustworthy builder with an outstanding view. We’re selling them faster than I can release them!” she adds with pride “The Morningstar brand is becoming a household word on Burke.” View Homes at Partington start at $1.2 million. For more information, check out www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-942-6370 or visit the sales office at 1508 Dayton Street, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 6 p.m.

of anthuriums. These tough plants have lovely shaped flowers that just never seem to quit flowering in colours of red orange, pink, white and burgundy and their foliage is a rich dark green. Anthuriums are ideal for low light and poor humidity growing conditions. They also come in four- or six-inch pots for a nice size variation and the best thing is they need so little care other than some water. Next on the ‘easy list’ are orchids. By far the most popular are the phalaenopsis orchids that now come in a wide range of colours from hot pinks, deep purples, yellows and reds to some wow bi-colours. As a result of having so many good growers in this part of the world and a bountiful supply, the prices for phalaenopsis orchids are very reasonable. They

Ravens fall to Gators in tourney tuneup By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Terry Fox secondary is the place to be this week to see some of the province’s best in high school basketball. “There will be some really good matchups each day,” said Ravens coach Steve Hanson, pointing out the Legal Beagle tournament features “Ten teams that have all been ranked in the top 10 at some point.” In addition to No. 8-ranked Terry Fox, this week’s Legal Beagle tourney also features the province’s top two ranked teams — Walnut G r ove G a t o r s a n d Gleneagle Talons — as well as the Burnaby South Rebels (No. 5), W.J. Mouat Hawks (No. 9) and Holy Cross Crusaders (No. 10) along with Vancouver College Fi g h t i n g I r i s h a n d Kelowna Owls who are threatening to crack the top 10. “One thing we say every year is no matter what team you are you’re guaranteed three really tough games,” said Hanson. The Ravens got a preview of this week’s action when they headed to Langley to take on the Gators Saturday, losing 67-64. Terry Fox jumped out to a 19-4 lead after the first quarter and were up by 10 at the half. “Since the Christmas break our focus has been on having better starts

We haven’t had any trouble scoring but we just haven’t been getting stops when we need them.” The Ravens got into foul trouble in the second
half, with five players picking up four fouls and three of those players fouling out. “Liam Hancock, one of our Grade 11 players who’s probably our most consistent scorer, he was probably on the bench for over half the game so that really hurt us,” said Hanson. The Gators jumped out to a lead midway
through the fourth quarter and managed to hang on in the contest that saw the lead swing back and forth in the closing minutes. “I think our guys realized that they can play with any team in the province,” said Hanson. “With the top 10 teams, there’s not a lot that separates them so it just comes down to good
possessions at the end of the game.” The Gators were without last year’s provincial MVP Jadon Cohee with an injured ankle while Raven power forward Mike West was in Texas playing football for Team BC. “He’s just such a huge rebounder, he scores, he pretty much does everything. He’s just a big

presence, especially on the defensive end,” said Hanson. The Ravens earlier got past the Delta Pacers 7852. “I thought that was probably our most complete game of the season offensively and defensively,” said Hanson. “With Mike being away, [Grade 12 forward] Brad Peters got a lot
of minutes and he’s really shined getting that extra time. He does a lot without scoring and he’s been a real bright spot for us.” Gleneagle came up just short in a 71-68 loss to the Sardis Falcons Saturday. “It went back and forth. It was a highly competitive game for two teams that hadn’t played for a while,” said Talons coach Tony Scott. “Both teams were trying to execute and they just did a better job of doing it.” Scott said the team was off its game defensively and didn’t apply the type of consistent pressure they normally do. “But it’s to be expected, I mean you haven’t done anything for a week or so and then you’re just trying to get back into it,” said Scott, who singled out Grant Galbraith and Brenden Bailey for their play. “It was really good to play a team of that calibre because they’re going to be one of the top Fraser Valley teams.” The Talons entered the game coming off a 77-33 win over Maple Ridge and are now primed for the Legal Beagle tournament over at Fox. “They’ve got some really top-notch teams in there so no matter what side of the draw we end up on they’re going to be really good games,” said Scott. sports@tricitynews.com
Biega brings offensive boost to Express blue-line By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Growing up the youngest of four brothers, Marc Biega knows all about overcoming a challenge. The slick defenceman’s main challenge at the moment is to help his Coquitlam Express rack up the points in the stretch drive for the BCHL season. And racking up points is something Biega has been doing a lot of these days. Fo l l ow i n g the Christmas break, Biega notched five goals in just his first two games. It was good enough to earn him BCHL Playerof-the-Week honours. “I don’t know, it must be Christmas or something. It just happened,” said the 19-year-old product of Pointe-Claire,
Que. “I was always an offensive player. At the beginning of the year it wasn’t really going well offensively but now since I’m burying it and getting a lot of points it’s going real well.” But the points are secondary for Biega, who puts the team’s success as his top priority. And with the wins will likely come the attention of college scouts, something Biega hopes will solidify his plans for next season. “I’m hoping to get a college commitment but hopefully I can continue playing well and that will happen soon,” he said. All three of Biega’s brothers chose the college route, and Biega has been following in their footsteps for most of his life.
“I’m the youngest one out of four so they really helped me, especially playing with them growing up. Them being older, it really helped my development.” Biega doesn’t see a model for his game in the pro ranks. “I don’t compare myself to any NHL players. I just try to do my best and be offensive and help the team out,” he said, adding his brothers have always been his biggest role models. His four goals and 24 points in 39 games with the Express last year helped him land the team’s Top Defencemen Award. And the 6’, 192lb. blue-liner has improved on those totals this year. In 35 games with the Express, Biega has 12 goals and 25 points, good enough for
seventh in defencemen scoring in the BCHL. Express coach Barry Wolff lists Biega’s composure and competitiveness as the strengths of his game, saying he has a knack of getting his shot through from the blue-line. “He’s so smart, he moves the puck in the right places at the right times,” said Wolff, who has the confidence to lean on Biega for power play duty, killing penalties or shutting down the opponent’s top line. And Biega has excelled in every situation his coach has placed him in. “We might put him in net next,” said Wolff with a chuckle. “He’s been unreal for us and he just keeps getting better and better.” sports@tricitynews.com

Try-City players power Team BC B.C. U18 squad trounces Europe at football showcase in Texas A team with a strong contingent of players from the Tri-Cities returned triumphant from an international football showcase in San Antonio, Tex. Te a m B C e a s i l y handled the European team 45-7 early Sunday morning at the Alamodome. Centennial Centaur J. P. K a l a m b ay a n d Terry Fox Raven Adrial Sellers each scored
touchdowns for Team BC, which gave up the opening touchdown before responding with 45 unanswered points. “We dominated the game and although the opponents had some athletes, our kids were better,” said Team BC coach Tom Kudaba, the co-head coach with Terry Fox. A.J. Blackwell with the Carson Graham Eagles notched a pair of touchdowns with Jack McDonald (South Delta Sun Devils) and Clovis Lumeka (W.J. Mouat Hawks) also getting in on the scoring. Kudaba said all the
Tri-City players had strong showings, with the Ravens defensive backs Kyle Miller and Jason Shamatutu, defensive linemen Kyle Sagmoen and Mike West and offensive lineman Michael Beck filling out the roster. Kudaba is in his fourth year on the sidelines with Team BC, guiding them to the top of last year’s FBU International Showcase. “I think this year’s team had the same amount of commitment and competitive spirit as last year’s team. We might have had some tough play-
ers that didn’t make it on the roster because of other issues but our kids came to play,” said Kudaba, who was disappointed this year’s game with Texas East was changed to a controlled scrimmage. The Texas squad won the scrimmage three touchdowns to one. “ We s h o u l d h ave scored two more times but threw deep interceptions which snuffed out our opportunities,” said Kudaba. “I think the impression everybody got was that our kids are very solid compared to the U.S. players.” sports@tricitynews.com

BRACEWELL, George Franklin
DREWITT, Roy It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Roy Drewitt, born July 9, 1938 in Vancouver, BC, who passed away peacefully on January 5, 2014. Roy resided and raised his family in Port Coquitlam, BC. He worked for BC Tel/Telus for 36 years before retiring at 53. Roy had a passion for corvettes and was a former president and an honorary lifetime member of the BC Corvette Club. Fitness was also very important to Roy and he spent time over the years running, playing racquetball and going to the gym. He was proud to complete the Vancouver Marathon. The Terry Fox Run was also important to him, and he made it a priority to attend this event every year. Roy loved his home but also enjoyed spending time with his wife and other family and/or friends on vacation in Palm Desert. Roy was a kind and supportive husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be sadly missed by all. He leaves behind wife Jeannine, daughter Roslynn (Mark L), Christine (Mark D), grandchildren Kaitlyn, Ashley and Tyler, sister Darlene (Mike), honorary grandchild Briana and many other family and dear friends. Roy recently suffered with cancer and received several blood transfusions. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donations of blood and/or donations to cancer research and the Terry Fox Foundation. A celebration of life will be held from 1:00-5:00 pm on Sunday, January 12 at the Swan-E-Set Bay Resort and Country Club located at 16651 Rannie Road, Pitt Meadows, BC.
