Lubna Ali is tired of hearing bad things about her homeland, Sudan. Instead of civil war, terrorism and famine, she’d like people to learn about the unique beauty of the confluence of the Nile and Blue rivers in Khartoum, and the vast game preserves that protect African wildlife like the rhinoceros and gazelle. She’d like people to look past the refugee camps that skirt Sudan’s borders and see a civilization older than Ancient Egypt.

Vancouver brought with them their political loyalties that divided their homeland. “We are a huge community, but we are separated,” said Ali, who left Sudan 14 years ago. “We don’t have to bring our problems to B.C.” Those problems include three civil wars that have scarred the country since 1955, killing more than three million civilians and sending more than five million fleeing to the safety of refugee camps.

With the scheduled beginning of classes only days away, teachers are again walking the picket lines at all of Burnaby’s schools. And frustration is rising amongst the teachers and parents as the labour dispute between the province’s teachers and government drags on into a fourth month. Shyamala James, a teacher at Windsor elementary, said she’s feeling anxious at two levels. She wants to be in her classroom this week, preparing to welcome back her students, sorting teaching materials, making lesson plans. She’s also stressing about what to do with her own two children who are supposed to be entering kindergarten next week. “It’s been stressful all summer,” said James, one of three teachers standing in the shade of a tree in front of Windsor elementary on Monday. The uncertainty over the new school year has also been difficult financially, said James. With no paycheque since the dispute began last spring, and no prospects for another any time soon, she said she took on summer work as a pharmacy technician to help pay the bills. see GOVERNMENT, A3

New project good news for neighbourhood Redevelopment of Intercity Motel will help clean up the area: Gillis Mario Bartel

It could soon be lights out for the notorious Intercity Motel on Kingsway. The owner of the motel’s property and the adjacent lot occupied by a Pizza Hut and Church’s Chicken takeout restaurants as well as a dry cleaner has applied to the City of Burnaby for rezoning. The plan is to build a four-storey residential and commercial development that would include 101 condominium apartments above and behind ground-level retail shops. The city’s director of planning and development, Lou Pelletier, has recommended to city council that the application go to a public hearing Sept. 30. Diane Gillis, the president of the Kingsway-Imperial Neighbourhood Associaton, said the area has been eagerly anticipating redevelopment of the

Diane Gillis, the president of the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association, says she’s pleased the new owner of two properties at the corner of Kingway and Gilley has applied to rezone them to allow him to build a four-story mixed commercial and residential complex.

properties for years. She said the motel has been a cauldron for crime and the sex trade, and the overgrown lots around the neighbouring

restaurants are an eyesore. “When you have a spot that requires so much oversight by authorities, it’s really quite surprising that some of the

activity continued,” said Gillis who said the problems persisted despite numerous meetings with the city and RCMP to find ways to clean the properties up.

In 2012 the properties were bought by Kevin Rakhra, a resident of the neighbourhood, who, Gillis said, was fed up with all the problems. She said having a development the community can be proud of is especially important, as the site is considered the eastern gateway to the Royal Oak Urban Village, as part of the overall Royal Oak Community Plan updated by the city in March. Having a local owner means that’s likely to happen. “They’re a part of the community, they’re aware of the problems,” said Gillis. “They’re impacted by the very behaviours that are causing problems.” The proposed ground floor retail will increase foot traffic in the area while the residents of the condos will work to maintain the integrity of their homes, she added. “Residential people will be invested in the community,” said Gillis. “They’ll care about their influence on the neighbourhood around them.”

One of her colleagues, Dorelle Jackson, also took on a summer job, teaching at Simon Fraser University. “We’ve still got to pay rent,” she said. The teachers said they’re also having a hard time explaining the situation to their students when they bump into them in the community, or when they drop by the picket line. “They don’t understand,” said Jackson. “They’re ready to go back to school too.” Parents are also frustrated.

She said it’s especially important for young people to became aware of their heritage because that is how the healing can begin. “Kids want to learn the Canadian way, but it’s important to educate them about Sudanese culture,” she said. “If they have confidence and they’re proud of their own culture, they will contribute positively to the Canadian community when they grow up.” Ali, who recently returned from an extended visit to her homeland, said there are small signs life in Sudan is getting better since South Sudan successfully achieved independence in 2011. More foreign investment is helping develop the mining industry for gold and diamonds. Tourism to enjoy attractions like scuba diving in the Red Sea off Port Sudan, or the Souq (market) in Omdurman is improving. Ali said it’s her dream that Sudanese who have learned valuable skills in Canada will eventually want to return to Sudan to help make life there even better. “One day you can change what’s going on there,” she said. ˆSudan Culture Day is at Alan Emmott Centre, 6650 Southoaks Cr., on Saturday, Aug. 30., 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Info: bweosudan@gmail.com BEST BUY - Correction Notice In the August 22 flyer, page 15, the TELUS Alcatel ONETOUCH A392A (Web Code: 10317579) was advertised with an incorrect image.

Immigrants stuck in catch-22 when ID lost New citizenship certificates not recognized Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Immigrant Canadians will want to hold onto their walletsized Canadian citizenship cards for dear life. Or at least keep them in a safe deposit box. That’s because the federal government is no longer issuing the photo identification. And it’s caused no end of grief for people who have had all their ID lost or stolen. Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian says it’s all because Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) switched to a photo-free, paper certificate in February 2012. “It was done without really consulting the provinces,” said Julian. “In B.C.’s case particularly, there was a real balking of ‘this isn’t a valid identification.’” With no photo, ICBC won’t accept it as a form of primary identification when issuing driver’s licences. Since 2013, people without driver’s licences can get a new BC Services Card, the new, more secure version of both the Carecard and BC Identification, also without a photo or signature. But that, in turn, is not accepted by Passport Canada when applying for a passport. “That really started to compound the problem for somebody who’s a new Canadian,” said Julian. The two changes have

led to immigrants in British Columbia being hit harder than in other provinces. People born in Canada are able to simply get a new birth certificate to get the ball rolling on replacing ID. But that’s not possible for immigrants whose first step would be to get a new Canadian citizenship card. In the past year, Julian’s constituency office staff have worked on about a half dozen such cases. Only one has been resolved and that took more

than 10 months. That’s 10 months when the person had no access to a driver’s licence or passport, preventing him from driving or travelling or applying for anything else that requires photo ID. For the remaining cases, they’re still waiting. “They’re not smart moves, and particularly not smart when the two levels of government are not consulting,” said Julian. Please see MPs OFFERING, A7

GUEST VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Education misfire

LAST WEEK:

With less than a week left before students are supposed to return to the classroom, there seems little reason to think they will. Of course, few believed that the two sides would find a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer. The trajectory has always been toward a final showdown—one that is still coming. It is, after all, the government that holds all the cards. The BC Liberals are early in their (strong) mandate, meaning they are better able to weather the public backlash over the dispute. They have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negotiated agreement is possible. And while there are many who are angered by the government’s bargaining tactics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far. The government also knows teachers cannot stay off the job much longer. Their strike fund is dwindling, their resources drying up. And they know that those teachers who get fed up and leave the profession can be replaced by the hundreds of education graduates churned out each year by universities across the country. Meanwhile, parents who may feel the sting of increased childcare costs should the strike continue, have been offered the salve of a $40-a-day payment. BCTF negotiators may be hoping for a legislated settlement, one that would allow them to face their membership as bruised but not beaten combatants. But the fact is they have played their hand poorly. They have cost their members money that no settlement will recover. They have alienated their CUPE colleagues who suffer every day the schools remain closed. And they have underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of conflict. —Chilliwack Progress

Bleak summer for coastal ferry remake VICTORIA – There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transportation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to lowusage coastal ferry routes. The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits. On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers. Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception. The Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, the open-decked Nimpkish. This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola. The direct route had been mainly used by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour. The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean

Falls and Shearwater, making it even longer. Warnings came early. “That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March. “The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.” Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers. A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent. A bus tour of Canadian seniors heading west from Williams Lake was terminated after 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down. Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experience this way: “At the end of the day, my assessment is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tourists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour. “The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thousands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish provides.” Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks? If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault. Heck, the Nimpkish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

“The idea that you can simply change the ID protocol and not think of what would happen if somebody lost their existing ID, it’s inconceivable to me that they would not have worked through that scenario.” While Julian’s office has only had a handful of cases, he said it will be a growing problem if it’s not resolved soon. Anyone whose job, housing and other situations don’t change may be able to get by, but otherwise the lack of ID can hamper people’s efforts to find employment or a place to live, he noted. “It starts becoming critical … Not having identification is like wearing a pair of handcuffs all day. You’re severely limited in what you can do.” In the one successful case, Julian said it was only resolved after the federal government issued a special piece of identification to start the process of replacing ID. And that was only after numerous letters and emails in conjunction with BurnabyDeer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan’s office to get the two levels of government to communicate with each other.

But judging by responses to the NewsLeader’s questions, neither level of government seems to understand there’s even a problem. If an immigrant lost all their primary pieces of ID, “they would need to contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada to re-establish their identification,” said Kristy Anderson, media relations manager for the Ministry of Health, which issues the BC Services Card, by email. ICBC’s website states, “we are currently unable to accept Canadian Citizenship Certificates issued on or after Feb. 1, 2012 as we normally would do.” While people submit photos when applying for citizenship certificates, ICBC’s Lindsay Olsen said by email, “ICBC driver licensing offices do not have access to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada database (through a portal) and therefore cannot access photos … We have not been given access to their systems.” She referred further questions to CIC. For its part, CIC spokesperson Johanne Nadeau said by email that the change

was made for two reasons. “First, it ensures the citizenship certificate is only used as an official status document—similar to a Canadian birth certificate— rather than an identity or travel document.” Secondly, it has created a system where agencies can electronically confirm a person’s citizenship directly with CIC, again to prevent fraud. “The certificate itself is not what needs to be secure; rather, the means to verify the certificate must be secure,” Nadeau said, noting plastic cards and pieces of paper are easily forged. “The change was also made in order to save the cost of replacing outdated equipment and materials that were used to create cards that had a history of being fraudulently reproduced.” The CIC was asked what is being done to resolve the situation for B.C. immigrants caught in this catch-22 after losing their ID. As of the NewsLeader’s deadline there had been no response. People can seek help at the offices of MP Peter Julian (604775-5707) or Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart (604-2918863).

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions. Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired. Whether students purchase

Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. It is recommended that kids get no more than 25 to 35 per cent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources.

Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps.

Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavour, and many of kids’ favourite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrientdense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer.

Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.
