A New Westminster woman is raising the alarm about a serial flasher targeting women walking alone on the Central Valley Greenway near North Road. Heather, who asked that her last name not be used, said she was walking on “Joe’s Trail” on the greenway on Aug. 2 at about 11:30 a.m. when she heard someone call out “hey, hey.” When she looked, she saw a man standing naked and waving from a clearing on the cliff across the Brunette River, in the Cariboo Hill area. She rushed home and called Burnaby RCMP. She heard someone call out in the same way again on Aug. 20 at 5:30 p.m. but didn’t look, believing it was the same guy. Instead, she went to the Burnaby Cariboo RV Park nearby to warn them. The person at the front desk told her someone had reported a similar incident to police the previous evening. While Heather’s avoided the trail because of her experience, the SkyTrain shutdown Sept. 5 led her to use it again. Please see THEY NEED, A3

City studying problematic four-way stops Council approves new traffic signal for Smith and Kincaid Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Burnaby council has approved a new traffic signal at Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street in response to a community petition calling for one. And it’s looking at other problematic four-way stops. The Smith and Kincaid intersection is currently controlled by four-way stop signs and is fairly busy with Burnaby Hospital and Cascade Heights elementary nearby, said Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, chair of the city’s traffic safety committee, at the council meeting Monday. The problem is drivers don’t always stop. “People just slow down and carry on through,” WANDA CHOW/NEWSLEADER Dhaliwal said. Burnaby council says some problematic four-way stops are being studied for potential traffic signals, such as this City staff recommended the full one at Nelson Avenue and Marine Drive. signal after observing the issue this summer. The signal will cost $230,000 He noted that Marine Drive and Nelson closer look at those that have been the which is “fairly expensive,” Dhaliwal said, Avenue is one intersection that will be subject of complaints, noted Doug Louie, but is in response to a safety concern. reviewed in the next year.

prelude to a potential signal,” Louie explained. It’s part of a progression—an intersection would start out as a two-way stop before increased traffic might cause a four-way stop to be installed. “There’s a number of locations that we get requests for signals, and often many of those are four-way stops, they’re on the cusp of maybe being upgraded to a signal because of increasing traffic or what have you.” Louie said Smith and Kincaid was “one of those ones that was due after many years of review.” During the most recent study, “We observed some poor behaviour, not taking turns or obeying the stop signs as they should.” The Smith-Kincaid petition was started by area resident Jim Favaro following an accident when a pedestrian was struck there in June. Favaro said by email that the new signal can’t some soon enough. “I witnessed at 6 p.m. on Monday night before the council meeting yet another driver going south on Smith Avenue totally disregard the four-way stop signs and he flew through the intersection at 50 kilometers per hour without touching the brakes,” he said. “It was lucky no one or vehicle was crossing the intersection when this happened.”

This time when she looked in response to the man’s calls, she was alarmed to see he was down closer to the river, and to her, than in past incidents. Sure, he was still across the Brunette, but at this time of year he could probably wade across, she said. That time a man on the trail loaned her his cellphone so she could call Burnaby RCMP immediately.
“The man said, ‘I walk this path hundreds of times and I’ve never seen a flasher,’” Heather recalled. She believes that’s on purpose. “He will only wave and draw attention to himself when it’s a lone woman walking … It’s not randomly to the public, he’s just doing it to women.” The incidents this summer are only the most recent ones Heather has experienced. She believes she first encountered the flasher in
August 2013 when the exact same scenario occurred. After she reported it to Burnaby RCMP last year, she walked with an officer in the area where she had spotted the flasher. They found an old office chair in the woods near the cliff. Heather believes the man is getting to that spot in the woods via Craig Avenue, Colby Street or Briar Road. “Those neighbours up there,
that live up above the river there, that have access to these walking paths, they need to know this too because this guy’s in their backyard.” The person obviously needs help, she added. Burnaby RCMP confirmed by email that they are following up on the complaint and that New Westminster Police have also been advised. “The file has been turned over

Burnaby takes Kinder Morgan to court Seeks court injunctions to prevent pipeline studies work in conservation area Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The City of Burnaby is taking legal action against Kinder Morgan in its battle over Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. On Monday, the city filed a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court seeking interim and permanent injunctions to stop the company’s intrusive work in the city park. Kinder Morgan Canada owns the Trans Mountain Pipeline which it has applied to the National Energy Board (NEB) to expand. It needs to do survey, drilling and other work to determine whether its preferred routing, tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain, is feasible. An NEB ruling on Aug. 19 stated the company had the right under the NEB Act to access land, without the owner’s permission, to conduct such studies. Burnaby’s position is

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Mary Trentadue took this photo recently at Westminster Pier Park in New West, where they’ve installed beach sand, umbrellas and hammocks.
Fox Run a legacy Sunday, Sept. 14, is the 34th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. If you don’t know the story, you’re likely not Canadian. But it is an incredible legacy. It is highly unlikely that when Terry first dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, to start his Marathon of Hope, he had any idea of the lasting effect he would have. An entire country followed his lead, after his run was cut short, just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., five months later. Spurred by Isadore Sharp, of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, an annual fundraising run was organized in his name. “You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized,” said Sharp in a telegram to the Fox family. And so it began. Now, 34 years later, dozens of countries participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. The Terry Fox Foundation has grown to in excess of $650 million, to support cancer research in Terry’s name. To most, the thought of that much money not already producing a cure is unfathomable. The problem is the disease itself. It is the most baffling disease known, because of its inconsistencies. It can run in the family, but it’s not genetic. It can be caused by smoking, but smoking does not invariably lead to lung cancer. It can be deadly, but it can also be benign. Before a definitive cure for cancer can be achieved, a link between all cancers must be discovered. We are not there yet. Terry’s initial letter to the Canadian Cancer Society, asking for support of his Marathon of Hope, included the line “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles.” —Comox Valley Record

World news a dose of perspective I misread the headline attached to a news story through a Facebook link on my phone. “School year delayed due to strikes” is what I thought it said, although the photo of what appeared to be rubble seemed incongruous. Another story on the labour strife in British Columbia, I thought. And I did also wonder why there was a plural on the word “strike.” Then I looked closer at my small screen and noticed the first word in the headline that I had missed. “Gaza school year delayed due to strikes.” Oh, right. Suddenly a little perspective washed over me. It’s one thing to have your children’s school year delayed because the teachers’ union wants more money for wages and to reduce class sizes while the government says the cupboard is bare. It’s quite another thing altogether to have the school year delayed, as it is in the Gaza Strip, due to Hellfire missiles raining down from above. If you simultaneously pay attention to local and
Paul J. Henderson international news, and if you step back with a little perspective, the subjects can be jarringly different. In Syria, journalists are being beheaded and ethnic minorities are being slaughtered by Islamic fundamentalists so extreme they make Al Qaeda look reasonable. Ebola is rocking West Africa. The Ukraine is a mess. Watching the international news these days can be stressful and depressing. And yet we have our own stresses right here at home. A full 46 per cent of British Columbians are “very upset” when they see people smoking on a patio or near open windows, and 78 per cent are “somewhat upset” by this. Cigarette butts on the ground? Fifty-four per cent of us find this very upsetting and 86 per cent are “somewhat upset.”

Worst of all is dog waste: 68 per cent of British Columbians are very upset when they see doggy doo-doo not picked up, and 94 per cent are somewhat upset. The statistics come from an Insights West poll released last week. The survey of Albertans and British Columbians looked at 14 behaviours that “disappoint” us Westerners. Dog crap seemed to top the list of the 14 things that disappoint those surveyed in the two provinces. Downloading copyrighted material for free was the least upsetting, with just nine per cent of BCers being very irked by this. (I wish Insights had asked about off-leash dogs—my personal pet peeve.) Tell a child, however, in Gaza whose apartment block has been destroyed by Israeli missiles that 90 per cent of folks in B.C. are somewhat upset when people park in handicapped spots without a decal and sympathy will be hard to find. Try telling a Liberian quarantined with Ebola that two thirds of us are very upset

by seeing someone talking on a cellphone while driving. This is not to say that we don’t have serious, real problems here in Canada: missing Aboriginal women, environmental degradation, child poverty, to name a few real issues of concern. But recent immigrants from countries battling terrorism, disease and poverty must either gasp or laugh when they read some news stories in Canada. Or, maybe, they realize as many of us do that we are extremely lucky to have such petty problems. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be angered over the current dispute keeping schools closed, or be annoyed when we see dog crap on the sidewalk and cigarette butts on a playground. But if you ever find your nose out of joint over what, in the grand scheme, is a minor issue, it helps to get perspective, if only for the sake of your mental health. Paul J.

COMMENT
ady for our e r t e G
Bears and humans can live in harmony I was privileged to encounter some black bears (a mother and two cubs) in Mundy Park (in Coquitlam) recently. They were minding their own business and were unconcerned with the people and dogs nearby. None of us people panicked or called for the bears to be shot or relocated. It made me hopeful that Greater Vancouver can follow in the footsteps of other communities and learn to co-exist peacefully with these beautiful animals. The main thing to remember is not to feed them, of course, which includes making sure that our garbage is not accessible to them. If we can keep a respectful distance, perhaps they can adapt to civilization the same way coyotes and raccoons have, and we can enjoy seeing them as a part of our natural environment without fear and panic. Cathy Morton Burnaby
the party at fault If anyone had any doubts which party is blocking progress in the teachers’ labour dispute, that became glaringly clear yesterday. Despite the fact that workers and employers universally dislike binding arbitration, the BCTF is willing to risk binding arbitration to settle the dispute, while the government stubbornly refuses to budge. The BC Liberals’ stubborn refusal to budge on any monetary issues shows us where their priorities lay. Despite the fact that B.C. teachers earn the lowest overall pay (according to the Vancouver Sun), and hundreds of millions of dollars were taken out of the education system by the Liberals in 2002, the government says there is no money. This is simply not true. The BC Liberals simply have other priorities and public education is not one of them. When the BC Liberals took power in 2001, they immediately gave a $1.8-billion tax break, most of which went to a few thousand taxpayers. What about the decision to spend $500+ million on the new (and still not working properly)
roof for BC Place? Then there were the corporate tax cuts, which have saved billions of dollars for corporations and have shown little in return for the residents of B.C. There was also the millions spent by fighting the BCTF and health sectors in losing court cases that could have been put into the general revenues, as well as spin for the government’s position. I could give dozens of more examples but the BC Liberal record on spending and tax breaks clearly demonstrates that public education in B.C. is not a priority. There is clearly only one party blocking any resolution to the teachers’ labour dispute, and it is not the teachers. Murray Martin Burnaby
Misplaced priorities I hope Christy Clark will stop using the phrase “families first” for the remainder of her term in office. The budget is number one on her agenda. Families, including special needs students, the sick and otherwise challenged in our society are a distant second, or worse, on her list of priorities. The question to ponder is “will we pay more in the future for those ignored or left behind today?” Ray Melnyk Burnaby

Really? This is not the same city, the same council, the same citizens that allowed the original pipeline. It is not the same company, product or purpose either. By your reasoning, we should not be allowed to learn from the past but are forever doomed to repeat it. We all know more about the impacts on the environment and human health then when the first pipeline was put through. We should be able to use that knowledge to make better decisions than we have in the past. The purpose of the pipeline has also changed. When it was first laid it was to provide fuel and jobs to the lower mainland with a locally operated facility owned by a Canadian company. Now it is to simply a conduit for a multinational to pass raw resources through us to be taken out of country for processing and use. Anne Easton

When company workers tried to cut down a large tree, city staff “were successful in blocking access by placing themselves in front of the tree.” The attempted tree cutting only ended after RCMP arrived in response to a call by Burnaby city staff.

Rona wants to ‘freshen-up’ that wall ⫸
continued from front page
Polich recalled one person even giving him a picture of traditional Indian clothing to work from. “I think it really represents the community and to take it away and to take it down would be a real tragedy,” said Polich. He said he hasn’t heard from Rona about the plans which would normally be a courtesy given to an artist whose mural is about to be painted over. “If you look beyond the fact that it’s a Santa Claus parade, which has traditionally been
a big event in Edmonds, I think it really represents the community,” Polich said. “It was one of my favourite murals to paint because of the amount of people that came through and the conversations I had with people that were new to the country.” Both new and longtime residents were happy to see their cultures represented in the public art, he added. “Rona is currently in discussion with the city to update the mural,” said Rona spokesperson Valérie Gonzalo by email from the company’s
headquarters in Boucherville, Que. “As you may know, the current mural has a seasonal theme (Christmas oriented) and looks rather dated, being four years old. Rona wants to freshen-up that wall. The exact layout has not yet been decided.” Rona does not own the building but rather leases it, Gonzalo confirmed. “Rona has no current plans to close that store and wishes to stay in the community.” twitter.com/WandaChow

Burnaby doctor had nine research studies retracted Studies found to contain faked data Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
A doctor who had nine research studies retracted due to faked data is now working at Burnaby Hospital, according to a recent media report. The Postmedia story stated the studies took place while Dr. Cory Toth worked at the University of Calgary medical school. A former research director of the Calgary Chronic Pain Centre Clinic, he resigned earlier this year after a university investigation found
he had faked data in the nine studies published in medical journals. Toth is currently working as a neurologist at Burnaby Hospital. He did not respond to a NewsLeader request for an interview. However, he told Postmedia in a statement that the data issues were due to spreading himself too thin and failing to supervise his laboratory staff properly. In an emailed statement, Dr. Dave Williams, program medical director at Fraser Health Authority said, “Dr. Toth came highly recommended
New from IKEA:
to us for his clinical expertise; and has proven to be a valued member of our neurology team.” Toth did mention the retractions which were taken into consideration before he was offered a probationary position, Williams said. “As with all physician appointments, there is a more fulsome review process with our board before a permanent position is offered. This is the case with Dr. Toth. “Dr. Toth does not participate in any research activities at Fraser Health.” twitter.com/WandaChow

For the price ($19,990 of my goalie equipment into the back, as tested), driving the Fiesta feels a no problem. Parking in cities is increasbit naughty, as if maybe you have ingly becoming a premium. Parking stolen a more expensive car than you a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a can actually afford.

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires. Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed. It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a
daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car.

They also knew that when Carlo, the abusive lowlife husband of Sonny’s sister Connie, would hit her, Sonny would respond by unleashing the Hiroshima of beatings on Carlo. The most direct route from Sonny’s fist to the jawbone of Carlo would take him through the tollbooth at the Jones Beach Causeway on Long Island, where the Barzini’s hit men were waiting with Thompson sub-machine guns.

Spiccolli pops the classic line, “My old man is a TV repairman, and he has an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.” Ultimately, no repairs are undertaken.

Steves noted the Ocean Spray berry processing plant in Richmond was approved and built under the existing regulations. “There are ways of doing these things without opening it up wide open and turning it into a Wild West Show of building anything you want on farmland,” Steves said. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said Surrey is prepared to consider distilleries and breweries on farmland, but not allowing them tasting rooms or to sell alcohol produced offpremises. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who is a turkey farmer, said there’s justification for the government to proceed “cautiously” in encouraging industry on ALR land that directly supports and benefits agriculture, such as processing plants. Improving farms’ ability to market their products helps ensure they’re not “held hostage by large corporations,” he said. Some local farms have been innovative in setting up their own processing operations, he noted. “We have to allow some of this to happen on farmland,” Froese said. “We have to be open to some of this changing face of agriculture.” Also proposed is allowing anerobic digesters in the ALR to generate energy from farmsourced manure and other agriculture waste. Metro says those applications should remain a case-by-case decision of the ALC due to impacts on neighbours.

A summer oil spill into the Fraser River in Surrey from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline would mostly be swept quickly downstream and into the Strait of Georgia, with some oil reaching the Gulf Islands. That projection, filed by the company as part of the risk assessment for its proposed $5.4-billion pipeline expansion, estimates cleanup could take up to five years. The study assumed a full-bore pipeline breach just downstream of the Port Mann Bridge releasing 1.25 million litres (more than 10,000 barrels) of diluted bitumen. “The process of restoration and recovery could take anywhere from 12 months to five years,” it said. Oil carried downstream out of the Fraser delta “is likely to disperse to the north or south in the strait” and is “more likely” to reach Gulf Island shorelines on the opposite side of the Strait than to directly affect Sturgeon or Roberts banks. Shoreline oiling is highly likely – 60 to 100 per cent
probability – between the Port Mann Bridge and Annacis Island, the study says, dropping to less than 10 per cent downstream of the Massey Tunnel. The study assumes the spilled oil will float until it strands on shorelines. “Oil that enters salt marsh or reed bed areas may become trapped there. Although the physical effects of this oil on the vegetation may be low to medium, oil spill recovery effects may be equally damaging to the vegetation, as well as affecting habitat utilization by wildlife species.” Ducks and geese would be at high risk of being harmed or killed, the study said, adding raptors, wading birds, shorebirds and swallows would face “medium” effects. Mammals most at risk would be aquatic species like muskrat, beaver, otter and mink. “It is assumed that some of these animals could be sufficiently oiled to cause death.” A spill in winter is more likely to be contained within the river and pose less risk to wildlife, as many species, such as fish, aren’t present or else are dormant. Kinder Morgan officials have said the new pipeline could be built with more frequent
emergency shutoff valves or thicker steel near the Fraser River crossing, which would be horizontally drilled under the riverbed. The study cautions that it didn’t look at spill probability or take into account the various Trans Mountain prevention commitments that could reduce the likelihood or the size of an oil escape. Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson said the recent Mount Polley mine tailings disaster shows unexpected failures can happen. “We have economic impacts, environmental impacts there that are going to take years to figure out and to heal,” she said. “It’s a societal question as to whether we’re willing to take the risk.” Wilhelmson said the study demonstrates an oil spill could “devastate” habitat and wildlife in Georgia Strait as well as B.C.’s most important salmon river. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said Kinder Morgan should instead pipe the oil south from Abbotsford to Cherry Point, in Washington State, to avoid increased risk to the Fraser and conflicts such as its ongoing access dispute with the City of Burnaby.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has increased its projected surplus for the year to $266 million, up $87 million from the July budget estimate. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said taxation and natural resource revenue are running ahead of projections, based on results of the first quarter of the fiscal year. That was offset by unexpected costs for flood control this spring and a forest fire season expected to Tom FleTcher/Black Press be one of the costliest on Finance Minister Mike de Jong said he’s disappointed with the slow job growth in B.C. record at $350 million.

Supplemental Application to Participate in National Energy Board Public Hearing for Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants. Description of the Project The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal. New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC. The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website. Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so. The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate. While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section. The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Contacts Information on NEB hearing processes and participant funding is available at www.neb-one.gc.ca/TransMountainExpansion. If you require additional information, the NEB has a dedicated Project-specific Process Advisor Team to provide assistance.

The Summit Residences by Domae Homes is perfectly situated in Chilliwack to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer, including tons of outdoor recreation opportunities. The spacious homes are available in a variety of open-plan layouts, allowing homeowners to personalize their home.
Ascending to the peak at The Summit Residences By Kerry Vital
Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there. “We build homes that we care about,” he says. “These are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.” Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, The Summit
Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a naturelovers dream. Thom Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities. “These views are to-die-for,” Chester says. There are controlled and registered building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves. The 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre
site are available in a range of floorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfinished basement. Curb appeal is not in short supply at The Summit Residences, with their Craftsman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage. “No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options. We’ve done some really interesting things.” Inside, spacious open-concept floorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fill the space. Hardwood laminate flooring

Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh).
