New West wants tolled four-lane Pattullo

Kris Miller and his stepson Justin Chan, 10, work on radiocontrolled cars in their home in Newton.

Miller has started a non-profit club for enthusiasts and wants to see a dedicated track for the hobby in Cloverdale.

Transportation minister cautious about fees on new crossing

by Jeff Nagel TRANSPORTATION MINISTER

Todd Stone says the City of New Westminster’s call for tolls on a rebuilt Pattullo Bridge may be problematic.

New Westminster council came out Wednesday morning in favour of replacing the aging bridge with a new four-lane replacement – but only if it’s tolled to help control traffic volumes.

The minister was asked if that would violate the province’s promise when it built the new tolled Port Mann Bridge that the Pattullo would act as the free alternative.

Todd Stone “If it was to be tolled, that would seem to be contradictory to the provincial tolling policy, which does provide for a free alternative to new tolled strutures,” Stone told reporters in Victoria.

ON TRACK for OFF-ROAD FUN Not-for-profit club aims to build racing area for radio-controlled cars

by Warren Jané KRIS MILLER smiles with pride and whispers

quiet bits of advice to his 10-year-old stepson Justin Chan as he carefully checks and

replaces one of the shocks on his very own RC car.

Miller, president and co-founder of the OutlawRC Club, is currently trying to raise enough money to build an off-road racing track radio-controlled (RC) cars at the Clo-

verdale Fairgrounds so that more families like his can get together and enjoy their hobby with other RC enthusiasts.

He first discovered RC car racing a few years ago when he was searching for a hobby for his two boys, but quickly found out there were no outdoor racing facilities to be found in the Fraser Valley that catered to RC cars.

“Once you start getting into something, you start researching it and you start looking everywhere,” says Miller. “You start reading all the forums and you realize that there is nothing out there.”

For RC enthusiasts, that means racing the toys in backyards, on public streets and in school yards.

OutlawRC’s vice-president and cofounder Tim Mockford agrees that there is a serious need for a track south of the Fraser River.

Community Safety Officer program shelved Surrey considers creating its own security force to augment the RCMP

by Kevin Diakiw A FOUR-YEAR-OLD policing program – a key

RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy

part of Surrey’s Crime Reduction Strategy – is coming to an end next year, leaving the city looking for cost-effective ways to get more law enforcement boots on the ground.

In July 2007, Surrey council endorsed a budget that included 10 Community Safety

Officers (CSO). They do not carry sidearms, but are equipped with pepper spray and batons, and are under the command of the RCMP. They also cost just over half of what it costs for a full RCMP constable.

They were part of a trial program borrowed from the United Kingdom, and became a central feature in the much touted Crime Reduction Strategy launched in 2007.

The Leader learned this week that the federal government is dismantling the program in 2015.

Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge Bill Fordy confirmed on Wednesday that the CSO program is being shelved.

Fordy said there’s a possibility the existing CSOs could be grandfathered.

Through a new federal program, Surrey would be able to opt for what Fordy called a “community constable” (a CSO which is armed, and presumably, better trained), a “community prevention officer,” or a regular constable.

All of these positions would receive more training than CSOs, so they would likely be more expensive.

Each CSO costs the city $75,000 annually, while a Surrey Mountie out of Regina’s training depot costs $140,000 (including salary and capital needs, such as cars).

Mayor Dianne Watts said the CSOs will be replaced by a separate city-run security force that will work closely with the Surrey RCMP. See CITY / Page 4

Teachers vote 89% in favour of strike action There will be no immediate impact on schools: Union

by Tom Fletcher B.C. PUBLIC school teachers have

voted 89 per cent to give their union authority for strike action in three stages.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said there is no set schedule on when work-to-rule action would begin.

“There will be no job action tomorrow, there will be no job action next week,” Iker said after the vote results were in Thursday evening. “It will depend entirely on what is happening at the negotiating table and whether or not the government and the employers’ association are prepared to be fair and reasonable.”

After a year of bargaining sessions with an expired contract, the BCTF still has Jim Iker not presented a specific wage and benefit demand.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender urged the union to present its opening position as negotiation sessions resumed Friday.

Union members were briefed before the vote on the initial wage offer delivered by Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school districts. It describes pay increases totalling 6.5 per cent over six years.

Fassbender reiterated that class size and composition are up for negotiation as well as wages and benefits.

From page 3 The City of Surrey is also hiring 12 police officers this year and the same number next year, as was planned in last year’s 2014-18 five-year budget. That hiring comes at a cost of $1.68 million annually – the equivalent of the annual taxes of 16 square blocks of homes.

On Feb. 14 Watts announced the city would be hiring 20 more community safety personnel over the next two years. She said they would be a police presence walking a beat, but would not be carrying guns.

She said at the time the funds for those personnel would be found within the existing city departmental budget, adding the total would be about $300,000 for the first six months of the program.

The new force will hit the ground mid-year, so the cost of each officer will be about $60,000 each (less the cost of uniforms and weapons).

The outgoing CSOs have been a central plank in the mayor’s Crime Reduction Strategy, which states as its first item under policing to “use

Watts said it’s unfortunate the CSOs will be lost, but assures the city is working on a model that will make Surrey streets safer.

Teachers: From page 3

Iker said the strike vote shows the members’ rejection of “unfair and unreasonable proposals that would undo the class size, class composition and specialist teacher staffing levels we just won back in a B.C. Supreme Court ruling.”

More than 29,000 teachers voted, with 26,000 saying yes to the strike option that can be activated on 72 hours’ notice for 90 days.

Details of the strike plan have emerged from several school districts, where BCTF members have voted to authorize the first two phases.

Phase one is refusing meetings or communication with administrators, and working to rule on hours, except for pre-arranged voluntary activities. According to one summary released by the government, teachers are to arrive at school no more than one hour before class time and leave by one hour after classes, with no supervision of students outside of class time.

Phase two is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.

Former Mountie faces sexual assault charges Alan John Davidson accused of offences in 1970s and ‘80s

by Warren Jané

A FORMER MOUNTIE and minor league coach has been charged with eight counts of indecent assault on boys under 18 years old who he had coached during the late 1970s and early ‘80s.

Police arrested 58-year-old Alan John Davidson at his Calgary home Thursday following an investigation that began in November 2012 after an adult male came forward with allegations of sexual abuse by his former hockey coach while he was attending high school in Clearwater, B.C. Davidson served as a general duty RCMP constable for 14 years, starting in February 1982 – just one year after the most recent assault was alleged to have taken place. He coached in some capacity with minor sports from the 1970s through to 2008. He retired in 1996.

GETTING AROUND

Make transit work for seniors

RAESIDE

T

he last 60 years of transportation design have been about getting young, mobile people to work. Now may be the time to find a way to make transportation safer and more usable for seniors.

Before, no one cared about washrooms at SkyTrain stations, truly accessible bus stops and buses or other services that would make it easier for older people to give up the car and take transit. Before, nobody worried that our street lighting, signage, even our drivers’ licence system was inadequate for use by older people whose eyesight may be failing, whose reflexes are slow but who may still have a clean driving record.

Before, no one cared that suburban living doesn’t support seniors, who may become isolated at home and dependent on government or volunteer services to get around.

Now, though, as the grey tsunami begins to overwhelm public resources, it may be time to care.

The evidence is already clear that transportation is inadequate for vulnerable, less-mobile people. HandyDart is overwhelmed by people who need door-to-door service, so it’s time to take another look at how this service is used. Last year, for example, there were 42,418 service denials and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Is it time to take another look at how service to the most vulnerable is delivered?

Most definitely.

The evidence is also clear that our accepted driver’s licence system is inadequate for older drivers. Although most stay off the road in risky periods, studies find the crash rate for people 70 and older is similar to the crash rate of new drivers (those ages 16 to 24).

Is it time to take another look at how our driver’s licence system works? Yes. Is it time to take another look at how our transit system works for seniors? Absolutely – so we can keep our moms and dads safe, secure and healthy, and so it will be ready for us one day.

roceedings here at the B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up the radio talk shows and twitter feeds.

No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liberal government forcing through legislation to allow industrial “research” for things like pipeline routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents.

It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack installed to hold the said muffins at a cost of $733.

This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly expensive refit to provide wheelchair access, which Reid has championed.

The new MLA lounge replaces a seldomused one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit

explosion risk of extra-dry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned.

Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park.

It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial Park and Jasper National Park, without incident or scandal to date.

But back to muffingate, as it’s become known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninterested in serious issues. I wish I did.

two, and two compact homes can be built on each new 33-foot lot, including an accessible unit for seniors.

The Draft Area Plan shows little change for most areas west of 112 Street. The result will be that large, unaffordable houses will continue to replace every demolished house in those areas.

All of North Delta needs a variety of affordable home ownership options. The “Neighbourhood Rejuvenation” designation for areas east of 112 Street should be extended to all of North Delta.

Be aware of slimy schemes I CONSIDER myself to be

relatively smart when it comes to those calls we have all received about winning free trips or getting a better credit card rate, etc.

But I must say these people are becoming much more clever and I can see seniors falling for their tactics.

A couple of months ago, I received a call from someone at “Visa” informing me they wanted to let me know that $300 had fraudulently been taken out of my account. The man told me someone got my Visa account number from the Internet and took the money. He went on to tell me that Visa had rectified the situation and the money been safely deposited back into my account.

He then proceeded to tell me that he needed my account number so we could go over my latest

transactions on the phone.

He also told me I should change my PIN and that he would help me do that over the phone.

I told him that I never give my account number or PIN over the phone to anyone and thanked him for returning my money.

He tried everything he could to get my number, but of course I wouldn’t get it to him.

Another time received a call from someone saying they were from Telus and their first two questions were, “are you over 30 and do you have a credit card?”

They informed me that because I am such a “good customer” they were offering me a discount trip to Mexico. For only $999, I could get an all-inclusive six-day trip, and all they needed from me was my credit card number.

When they realized that I was

“interested”, I was handed to someone else to talk to, I guess to close the deal, but this guy was pretty slick and had an answer for all my questions. He was pressing me for my credit card number but I told him I couldn’t make a decision right away and asked him to call me back the next day.

I could sense the frustration in his voice but he kept pressing me to make a decision.

I finally told him that if he couldn’t call me back in the morning, I wasn’t interested in the trip.

These two particular clever scams are ones that I worry seniors could fall prey to. We need to make them more aware of these slimy schemes, and that fraudsters are only trying to get their credit card numbers.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation.

Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five kilometres from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

Yap said that would allow either a government or private liquor store to relocate next to a grocery store.

Massive sockeye run forecast Fishermen buzzing over projection of up to 72 million salmon

by Jeff Nagel ANOTHER HUGE sockeye

salmon run is forecast to return to the Fraser River this summer, potentially even bigger than the modern record of 30 million that unexpectedly came back in 2010.

The fish that are now on their homeward migration back to B.C. waters are the spawn of that massive run four years ago, which was the best in a century.

Pre-season estimates of this summer’s run size from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans range from a low of 7.3 million to a high of 72.5 million, with the more probable mid-range forecast set at 23 million.

Until the salmon begin appearing off Vancouver Island, however, there’s little way to know with certainty what proportion of fry that went out to sea survived and thrived in the marine environment.

Much depends on ocean conditions, such as water temperature and the amount of food and predators they encountered.

It’s been theorized that iron-rich ash from the eruption of an Alaskan volcano in 2008 caused a plankton bloom that increased the food supply, contributing to the 2010 sockeye run.

No volcano fertilized the North Pacific waters since then, but salmon watchers are waiting to see if a rogue geoengineering project had any similar effect.

A Haida-led team controversially dumped 200 tonnes of iron dust in the ocean in 2011 with the aim of trapping atmospheric carbon and boosting salmon returns.

A 10,000-squarekilometre plankton bloom was later detected by satellites.

Commercial harvesters, sport fishing operators and aboriginal fishermen, meanwhile, are all buzzing with anticipation over the potential run.

But processors caution a huge record run could overwhelm fish packing plants that were pressed to their limit in 2010.

“It was a large challenge and I’m not sure we could have handled very much more fish,” recalled Rob Morley, vice-president of production and corporate development at Canadian Fishing Co. (Canfisco).

He noted the range of 2014 estimates is broad and salmon forecasting is notoriously inexact.

But Morley said other signs coming in point to a very good year for sockeye all along the coast, including runs to Barkley Sound and the Skeena River.

“We’ve seen very good returns of threeyear-old fish this past summer,” he said, referring to sockeye that come back a year early and are called immature jacks.

Strong coho returns also suggest good ocean survival for sockeye.

Morley said processors hope a strong run can be verified soon enough for fishery managers to approve early and steady openings, rather than a later, more compressed window.

“If we are, in fact, seeing a lot of fish and get started sooner, it will help everybody handle more fish.”

Sto:lo Tribal Council fisheries advisor Ernie Crey warned against allowing intensive commercial fishing too soon this summer without solid justification.

“Everyone’s getting excited,” he said. “It’s great the forecast is looking that good.

But we can’t forget that we’ve had three

inquiries into failures of Fraser sockeye salmon runs. Things can go terribly wrong and people can be very disappointed.”

If errors are made and managers decide mid-season they’ve allowed too much fishing, Crey said, the only place to compensate and ensure enough salmon spawn is to then curtail the aboriginal catch upriver.

“It’s hard to be definitive about salmon. We

this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Unionized truckers reject deal Hundreds of drivers angry over state of industry

truckers who serve Port Metro Vancouver were poised to strike Monday after voting over the weekend to reject a tentative mediated agreement.

The 300 members of Unifor-Vancouver Container Truckers’ Association previously voted for strike action March 1 and last week issued strike notice before federally appointed mediator Vince Ready entered the talks.

“Our members have spoken: the deal was too little, too late,” UniforVCTA president Paul Johal said after Saturday’s vote.

hundred other nonunion truckers who have already withdrawn service say long line-ups and wait times at Port Metro Vancouver terminals are costing them money.

“We welcome the involvement of Vince Ready, but the feedback I’ve gotten is that our members need to see something far more immediate to improve their economic position,” said Unifor’s Gavin McGarrigle.

Unifor-VCTA’s collective agreement expired in June 2012. They are demanding increased pay rates and want the rates standardized and enforced across the sector to put an end to undercutting.

The non-unionized United Truckers Association drivers walked off the job Feb. 26 and there have since been accusations of vandalism, intimidation and violence in the dispute.

Port officials have vowed to terminate the licences of about 40 truckers in response.

Port Metro Vancouver said it will seek to continue and expand its court injunction to keep protesters off port property.The port said it will also bolster security at critical locations for truck traffic heading to or from the port – one truck had its window smashed by a thrown rock last week. It will also continue putting security staff in trucks to help drivers heading to terminals and record any incidents.

Port Metro Vancouver says the current disruption at the port is having a serious impact on the free flow of goods.

“The impact of truckers walking off the job is in the order of about $885 million per week,” said Port Metro Vancouver CEO Robin Silvester, referring to the weekly value of goods moved by container truck in the region.

Ready, appointed by federal transportation minister Lisa Raitt, is to issue recommendations

by May 30 after a detailed review of the Port Metro Vancouver trucking industry.

They shall return Trained volunteers help low-income folks with their taxes at Surrey Alliance Church

by Boaz Joseph

I

t might seem that nobody likes to do taxes, but there are exceptions.

Take Mildred Bruckner.

She’s been volunteering to help seniors, single parents, low-income families and new Canadians with their tax returns for close to a quarter-century.

Long before computers became the norm for the annual chore, she was jotting numbers onto lengthy forms for those in need in 1990 when a free tax clinic opened up at Surrey Alliance Church.

For the first five years, she even made house calls for disabled or housebound clients.

At 84, she’s “still pretty illiterate,” on computers, but prides herself in knowing about the only thing she can do well with them is file someone’s tax return.

Bruckner was among the first in the area to be trained on the com-

puters that were used by the tax clinic – the first units were donated

by Canadian Airlines around the year 2000, when the carrier merged with Air Canada.

Before that, the tax-filing process involved loads of papers, “one pencil and a humongous eraser,” jokes Don Poole, the clinic’s coordinator for the last 10 years.

Poole runs a small army of 30 volunteers – about 20 of them certified to work the 11 workstations on the church’s spacious mezzanine-level balcony.

Returns are completed on a first-come, first-served basis, through a drop-off service, or by appointment.

Volunteers are trained by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in what’s called the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). Initial training takes about eight hours, and returning volunteers are given short refresher webinars each year as

new tax rules take hold.

The CRA’s free tax clinics are geared for single people who make up to $30,000 per year, one adult with one child making up to $35,000, and a couple making $40,000. Additional children allow for extra income of $2,500 per child.

The only other limitation for the tax clinic eligibility is simplicity: Tax preparers will not process returns for business owners, landlords (those who claim rent as income), or on behalf of the deceased.

Volunteer Les Friesen says the role of CVITP tax preparers is not to give tax advice, but they can and do make clients aware if they’re eligible for various government rebates and tax credits due to disabilities or other dependents they hadn’t considered.

See VOLUNTEERS / Page 18

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

As Les Friesen assists a tax preparer, volunteer Elizabeth Crouse chats with client Stella Opper at a free Canada Revenue Agency tax clinic at Surrey Alliance Church. Volunteers have been helping low-income and senior clients at the site since tax year 1989.

Income tax season breeds new scam: Police Fraudsters are claiming to be federal revenue agents accusing victims of owing back taxes

by Jeff Nagel FRAUDSTERS ARE

impersonating Canada Revenue Agency officers to target Lower Mainland residents with a new phone scam that keys on income tax season.

Scammers who claim to be federal revenue

agents accuse victims of owing back taxes and warn a warrant for their arrest will be issued if they don’t pay up pronto.

“They’re quite threatening and they’re quite aggressive,” Vancouver Police Det.-Const. Linda Grange said.

Victims are persuaded to buy gift cards in

amounts of up to $2,500 from major retailers and phone back with the activation codes. In two recent cases, the cards were for Home Depot and Safeway. Other victims sent money orders.

Grange said the VPD also continues to field large numbers of complaints about fraudulent ticket selling through online sites.

Scammers post images on the photo-sharing app of tempting prize giveaways, purportedly from big brands and retailers.

Eagles tie playoff series with Rivermen Surrey, Langley deadlocked 2-2 in best-of-seven

by Nick Greenizan THE SURREY Eagles refuse to be grounded

by the Langley Rivermen.

Through four games of the BC Hockey League first-round series, the two Mainland Division rivals are in a dead heat, tied 2-2 through four games.

Game 5 was played last night (Monday) at the Langley Events Centre after The Leader’s deadline.

Twice in the series, the Rivermen – who finished the regular season 29 points better than the Eagles – have led, only to have the Eagles fight back to tie the series.

Langley won the opening game last week, but Surrey captured Game 2 after a thirdperiod comeback.

Games 3 and 4 – held Friday and Saturday at South Surrey Arena – unfolded in much the same fashion.

In Friday’s game, Surrey lead 1-0 after 20 minutes on a goal from Nathan Renouf, but Langley controlled the game over the final 40 minutes, scoring six times – three in each of the final two periods.

Zach Urban, Matt Ustaski and Jakob Reichert gave the Rivermen a 3-1 lead in the second, and the visitors continued to pour it on in the third, scoring three more unanswered goals – from Ustaski, Kevan Killistoff and Darien Craighead – to take a 6-1 lead.

In the final six minutes of the game, Surrey added two goals – from Chase

McMurphy and Matthew Dawson – but the game ended 6-3.

The offensive barrage – rare for a playoff series, as teams tend to play tight defensive hockey – continued Saturday night, with the teams combining for 12 goals in a 7-5 Eagles’ victory.

The Birds’ offence came from a rather unlikely source Saturday as defenceman Philippe Johansson – who had just 12 points in 53 regular-season games – had three goals and two assists.

The 19-year-old defenceman was far from the only Eagle with the Midas touch. Captain Danton Heinen – who last week was named the BCHL’s rookie of the year and most sportsmanlike player – had four assists, while McMurphy had a goal

SECTION CO-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

and two assists.

Blue-liner Kale Bennett added two goals, while Dawson rounded out the offence. In total, six of the team’s seven goals came from defencemen.

Eagles’ goaltender Bo Didur – who has played all four games of the series – was peppered with 44 Langley shots in the win, stopping 39.

The fourth game was the only one in the series in which the Eagles never trailed, though they’ve also proven that they have the ability to recover from an early deficit.

Regardless of the outcome of Game 5 Monday, the series will go to at last a sixth contest, which will hit the ice tonight (Tuesday) in South Surrey.

Devils leaving Delta to become the Knights Junior B team leaves Sungod Arena, will call Langley home in 2014-15

by Rick Kupchuk THE NORTH Delta

Devils have played their last game in the Pacific Junior Hockey League

(PJHL).

An application to relocate the Devils to Langley has been approved by the PJHL and the team will play

out of the George Preston Recreation Centre next season under a new management group.

John Craighead, head coach of the Devils for the past two seasons, is part of the new ownership group in Langley, along with the (Don and Christa) McCarthy and (Amar and Sare) Gill families.

“It’s been in the

works for a year,” said Craighead, who played professionally in North America and Europe.

“Being from Langley and seeing four Junior A teams go through the George Preston arena, I’m excited to bring hockey back to the Brookswood area.”

The Devils missed the PJHL playoffs this past season for the first time in its history, posting a

franchise-worst 10-311-2 (wo n-loss-overtime loss-tied) record.

The Junior B team had played on Saturday nights in the Sungod Arena for the past 12 seasons, after the Queen’s Park Pirates moved from New Westminster to become the North Delta Flyers for

the 2002-03 season.

The team was renamed the North Delta Devils prior to the 2005-06 season, and were one of two teams in the municipality. The Delta Ice Hawks are based in Ladner.

“It just hasn’t worked in Delta,” said Craighead. “Delta can

support only one team.

And it was the Ice Hawks on Delta cable every week.”

The new Langley team will be called the Knights, and will play on Tuesday or Thursday evenings to avoid competing for the entertainment dollar with Junior A hockey.

Elementary students try their hand at trades Surrey School District and Kwantlen partner on program that highlights career opportunities Black Press FUTURE ELECTRICIANS,

plumbers, welders, carpenters and automotive technicians who are still in elementary school had their first look at a career in the trades on March 6.

The aspiring tradespeople – some 600 Grade 6 and 7 students from the Surrey School District – went on a unique field trip to Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s trades and technology campus (KPU Tech) in Cloverdale.

The trip’s objective was to expose young students and their families to the benefits and opportunities offered by a career in the trades.

“This is a chance for students to explore in a very real way what a trades career looks like,” says Susan Chow, principal of career education for Surrey schools. “Few

students have the benefit of insight like this at their age.”

The field trip is the result of a partnership between the district and KPU, with support from the Industry Training Authority (ITA).

KPU Tech provides leading-edge trades and technology programming aimed at meeting the rising demand for skilled trades workers and apprenticeships.

The 11- and 12-yearold students were given a tour of the campus and took part in hands-on activities. They were also able to talk with faculty and current KPU trades students.

“Together we are able to show young learners that there are countless career paths into trades and technology, many of which can lead to a KPU degree,” says Henry Reiser, KPU’s dean in

the faculty of trades and technology.

KPU and the district also invited parents of the 600 participating students to come along on the field trip.

“Parents play an important role in postsecondary education, from providing insight and guidance to financial aid,” says Reiser.

“We want them to feel confident about their children’s career choice.”

Chow adds that having parents attend also helps them understand the vast array of opportunities available, and connects them back to the dual credit apprenticeship programs already offered by the district in partner-

ship with KPU and other post-secondary institutions.

The Accelerated Credit Enrolment to Industry Training model gives high school students credit toward technical training programs before graduation.

Research boost for SFU student

M

ark Labrecque is looking to put an end to cancer.

The PhD candidate in health sciences at Simon Fraser University is on the leading edge of research into the genetic composition of prostate cancer cells. The results of his work could eventually lead to specific chemotherapy drugs that would target the genetic codes that allow those cells to create new blood vessels to feed the tumour or to spread elsewhere in the body.

Labrecque’s research recently received a major boost when he was named one of five students to be awarded $40,000 scholarships

by Prostate Cancer Canada. The money will allow the researchers to “achieve results and alter the way this disease affects men and their loved ones,” said Rocco Rossi, the CEO of Prostate Cancer Canada.

The stakes are high. Prostate

cancer affects one in seven Canadian men.

“It’s such a common cancer, it’s tough not to have it staring you in the face,” said Labrecque, who’s from Surrey.

The death of federal NDP leader Jack Layton from prostate cancer put a further spotlight on the disease, increasing pressure to find new treatments or even a cure.

But, said Labrecque, it’s the slow, meticulous work that’s likely to get results.

He’s been toiling in his lab at SFU since 2008, after he earned his undergrad degree in health sciences at UBC. His advisor at the time was doing research on breast cancer and the two diseases shared some similarities on a cellular level that piqued Labrecque’s interest.

At the time, there was little known about the genetic structure of prostate cancer cells.

ner Chris McCue was recently presented with a 2013 TechGREEN Award for his company’s contributions to B.C.’s “green” economy.

Handed out by the Applied Science Tech-

“We’ve been starting from scratch,” said Labrecque, who figures he still has another yearand-a-half of work ahead of him before he realizes any sort of breakthrough.

The money will allow him to concentrate full time on his research rather than worrying about making ends meet on the nominal stipends earned by graduate students.

More importantly, the award is a confirmation that he’s on the right track. Each applicant had their work vetted by a panel of experts and top researchers in the field.

“Everybody likes positive reinforcement,” said Labrecque, who will also team up with a mentor he can tap into for further guidance.

“Every year we make small steps,” says Labrecque. “I’m hoping one day we’ll be able to get rid of this.”

nologists and Technicians of BC, the award recognizes corporations and individuals leading the province toward a greener future with sustainable processes, energy conservation and

practices that benefit the environment.

McCue’s company – McCue Environmental Contracting Inc. – delivers technology for mine and industrial water treatment.
