OIL SPILL IN FRASER RIVER COULD TAKE 5 YEARS TO CLEAN UP: STUDY

▶ KINDER MORGAN PROJECTS IMPACT OF RUPTURE; A SUMMER LEAK COULD REACH STRAIT OF GEORGIA AND GULF ISLANDS

JEFF NAGEL

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 clean-up could take up to five years.

The study assumed a full-bore pipeline breach just downstream

▶ RUNNING TO BEAT CANCER

Body found in Whalley

About 150 people took part in the Terry Fox Foundation’s annual Terry Fox Run at Bear Creek Park on Sept.

14. Other local Terry Fox Runs took place at Sungod Arena, South Surrey Athletic Park, Cloverdale and Fraser Heights.

Since 1980, more than $650 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry Fox’s name.

KEVIN DIAKIW

A body was found in North Surrey Monday morning and police are investigating whether the person met with foul play.

The body of a man was discovered at 6:20 a.m. Monday in Robertson Park in the 12700-block of 92 Avenue. The cause of death and identity of the individual had not yet been determined

by The Leader’s press time Monday.

Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the area is encouraged to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Six people were arrested on Sept.

Mackenzie Russell, 20, is charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Four youths aged 15 to 17 have been charged with various property-related crimes, and another adult male is facing four counts of property-related offences.

Strike won’t stop Terry Fox school runs ▶ STUDENTS RAISED

$1.4 MILLION FOR THE CAUSE LAST YEAR

ERIC WELSH

One of the Terry Fox Foundation’s most effective fundraisers will go ahead, no matter how long the B.C. teachers’ strike drags on.

Each year, close to 1,400 schools throughout B.C. and the Yukon teach their students about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope, raise money and do a run in their neighborhood.

Terry Fox Foundation School Coordinator Kirsten Fox says this year’s National School

I

n my previous article I explained why The Co-operators is “A Better Place For You”. I explained that we have $42 Billion of Canadian’s money under investment management in portfolios that come with guarantees that other investments do not offer. We have over 2.5 million clients placing their trust in us.

Many of you responded that our financial plans are helping you focus on setting aside resources for a better retirement.

Now, more often, grandparents and parents are asking what they can do for their children and grandchildren rather than buy them the latest game or gadget.

Today, I want to show you a financial strategy that protects your children and grandchildren with living benefits until they are over age 18 and places them on a path to achieve a brighter financial future.

Run Day is scheduled for Sept. 24. However, even if students were back in school today, she says it’s unlikely everyone could get themselves organized by that date.

But Fox says that date is more of a suggestion or guideline than anything set in stone.

“Everyone I’ve spoken to has committed to holding an event whenever they can,” she explained. “If that’s not September, then we’re completely happy to support them in October or November or any other time.”

Even April is a viable option – and very symbolic. On April 12, 1980 Terry Fox started the Marathon of Hope in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

“A few schools already do that,” Fox said.

“Every school is a little different in how they approach it, but they’re all amazing.”

With a steady focus on this strategy many children today can achieve financial independence in their early fifties and enjoy a worry free retirement.

Put your kids on the path to wealth Let’s say you have a three year old child or grandchild. You can take a Critical Assist policy on the child for $100,000 coverage for about $70 per month. This includes a Pay Back On Surrender feature, which you or your heirs can use after 15 years.

This means that if the child is diagnosed with any of the 36 covered illnesses during the 15 years you would receive $100,000 to help them or their parents to manage the time and financial commitment of recovering from a disease. Parents could take time off to be with the child, to help the child during this time, or to travel and stay at best care facilities.

If the child remains in good health, you can surrender the policy and receive ALL of the premiums you paid up to that point.

Of course, you can continue on the policy or even transfer it at a later date.

There is not enough space here to list all the illnesses covered, but 7 of the most common childhood illnesses that the Critical Assist – Head Start plans do cover include: Autism • Cerebral Palsy • Congenital Heart Disease • Cystic Fibrosis, • Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus • Muscular Dystrophy • Rett Syndrome.

The available plans vary depending on factors like the age of the child, other features chosen, and the rate of return on the investment.

Cashing the policy in when they are 18 provides the necessary resources to set up their wealth plan. Premium payback will result in about $15,500 of premium returned to you at a critical time in their lives when they have little or no income.

Give their savings a boost with a TFSA So far, we have been talking about using

Collectively, these events count for approximately 60 per cent of the Terry Fox Foundation’s annual fundraising income.

Last year schools raised just under $1.4 million.

School runs are often spearheaded by a passionate teacher or administrator who works closely with the Terry Fox Foundation.

Schools register and are supplied with organizational guidelines and materials.

“We give them some amazing posters to help promote the events,” Fox noted. “We have lesson plans online that are made by teachers for teachers. We have some great books and DVDs designed with kids in mind, and we have lots of temporary tattoos and stickers.”

If requested, the Terry Fox Foundation will

an insurance policy to protect the child.

You can also open a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) for them when they are 18 and fund it from the insurance premiums paid back to you for the next three years.

When they have income they can cover any gaps and continue to maximize their TFSA savings. By “seeding” the account early “compound interest” takes over. At just 6% return the account can grow to exceed $1.2 million by the time the child reaches age 55.

This can be your legacy to your child or grandchild.

By using insurance you can provide the resources needed in case of a critical illness and also show them how having a solid financial plan can bring them wealth.

Of course, you will probably still buy toys and games for them to play with today, but you will also have the satisfaction of knowing you have prepared them for tomorrow.

send out a “Terry’s Team Member” to speak at assemblies, usually a cancer survivor who drives home the importance of what they’re doing. Fox has visited many schools, and always finds the experience inspiring.

“I visit schools and ask them about Terry and it’s cool when a little kid puts up his or her hand and tells me exactly where Terry started his run, how far he ran and how much money he raised,” she said with a smile.

“A couple years ago we started a Little Fox Run at daycares and preschools, and it’s so great seeing the little ones getting excited about Terry and learning about him.”

Fox said 84 cents from every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research.

There’s fresh hope for mediated talks to end the B.C. teachers’ strike after Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed that both sides are in preliminary talks with veteran mediator Vince Ready.

The minister told CBC TV that Ready

spoke to both B.C. Teachers’ Federation President Jim Iker and government negotiator Peter Cameron Thursday. The two sides also met over the weekend.

“He is trying to get the parties close enough where he can play a meaningful role,” Education Minister Peter Fassbender said of Ready. “He will make that decision.”

Ready previously began exploratory talks two weeks ago but declared the two sides at impasse and walked away Aug. 30.

Last Wednesday,

more than 30,000 B.C. teachers voted nearly unanimously to end their strike if the B.C. government sent their dispute to binding arbitration.

Fassbender has steadfastly rejected that call.

“As we have consistently made clear, binding arbitration would lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case,” Fassbender said. “That’s because the two sides remain too far apart on wages and benefits.”

Iker said the government is obstruct-

ing solutions to the dispute.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the

union is seeking $315 million per year more than the government is offering, including wages, benefits and a fund to reduce class size and increase special needs support.

Now in the fifth week of full-scale strike action that began last spring, the BCTF received $8 million Wednesday from the B.C. Federation of Labour to use as a hardship fund for teachers. The B.C. Nurses’ Union put in another $500,000.

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 damag-

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.

ing 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.

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.

“There is an oil port on our coast,” Steves said.

“It happens to be in the U.S., but it’s only 90 miles away.”

He said the City of Richmond is an intervenor in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion application because it fears an oil terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey is Kinder Morgan’s back-up plan, if the Massey Tunnel is replaced and the river is then dredged to accommodate bigger ships.

Kinder Morgan also modeled a pipeline rupture near Hope, projecting oil could foul shorelines and vegetation as far as 100 kilometres downstream along the Fraser.

Rail bypass approved for Surrey’s heritage railway ▶ POPULAR ATTRACTION HAS BEEN STOPPED IN ITS TRACKS MANY TIMES JENNIFER LANG

Work begins last week on a new section of railway through Cloverdale that will give the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) greater control over weekend passenger operations in spite of freight movements.

It’s the second summer the society has offered passenger runs on restored car 1225 from Cloverdale to Sullivan Station. But due to the sheer volume of grain shipments to the coast, the heritage railway has been sidelined about half the time this summer.

Most of the cancellations have been on Saturdays, with the society not knowing until the last minute if the track would be clear on Sundays either.

“Between the grain backlog, the bad winter and a bumper harvest, it was a perfect storm,” said FVHRS secretary Allen Aubert.

Saturday and some Sunday operations are subject to freight movements on the line due to increased grain handling

activity, normally not a conflict on weekends.

But since the Calgary flood in spring 2013, grain shipments to the coast have been an issue for the fledgling heritage attraction.

“We knew last year there could be some challenges,” Aubert said, explaining how the project’s partners came together after a debut season to look at how to mitigate the problem.

They realized they could eliminate the disruption altogether by building a new section bypassing the bottleneck in Cloverdale.

Last week work began on a 600-metre-long section of dedicated track.

The bypass will join up with the existing line that runs to Sullivan Station at 152 Street and 64 Avenue, the roundtrip destination for the society’s passenger runs for the past two seasons.

The bypass will be in place for 2015, allowing uninterrupted passenger service for the society.

Commercial interruptions affected the society’s operations about 30 per cent of the time last summer, Aubert said. It’s been at least 50 per cent in 2014.

“It’s been incredibly frustrating because won’t know from one moment to the next,” whether the line will be free, Aubert said. “We’re open every weekend, but

the big question is: Is the train running?”

The new track was approved July 22. Getting the necessary approvals and permissions in place has taken 11 months.

So far this summer, more than 2,000 passengers have climbed aboard the Interurban for the 55-minute trip to Sullivan Station and back to Cloverdale, home to FVHRS headquarters. That’s about half of the number of passengers served last year, when ridership closed in on nearly 5,500.

“We’re down by 50 per cent,” Aubert said. “We’ll probably hit 3,000 by the end of the season.”

Turnout has otherwise been “terrific,” he said.

“People are forgiving, provided there’s a solution.”

The weekend trips, leaving on the hour, run until Oct. 13.

Weekends, there’s a crew of 28 working four-hour shifts as greeters, ticket sellers, guides and station managers.

Laying down new track represents about $1 million in terms of investment, but the actual cost to the FVHRS will be much lower, thanks to sponsors.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday S eptember 16 2014

Driven to distraction

We may think we need wearable technology – such as Google Glass or the new Apple Watch – and manufacturers would like us to think so, too.

But the last thing we need in this day and age of multiple distractions is something else to divert our attention from the responsibilities of operating a vehicle.

Most drivers would probably agree that erratic behaviour on the roads has not decreased over the past 20 years.

Indeed, it appears we are now paying the price for past leniency in what seems to have emerged as current norms of driving – turns and lane changes without signalling, sudden swerves within lanes or into the line of oncoming traffic, unexpected decreases in speed and failure to respond to traffic signals.

Those who have ever wondered “what’s up with this guy?” have probably

discovered more than once, on closer approach, a driver juggling the wheel and a cup of coffee; glancing down at a text message; or with a cellphone clutched to his or her ear.

Since they, clearly, don’t see themselves as part of a problem, it would be meaningless to tell them that, on average, 30 people a year die as a result of distracted driving in the Lower Mainland alone – and some 88 provincewide.

Similarly, it would probably mean little to those with such an undeveloped sense of self-preservation that current police fines could bend their pocketbooks by $167 for distracted driving to $368 for driving without due care and attention.

So let these remarks be addressed to those of us who place a greater value on life.

RAESIDE

It’s time we demanded a much higher standard and a more stringent series of penalties for distracted driving that will anticipate the wave of new attention-grabbing technologies.

The B.C. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles believes that current regulations against using hand-held devices will also cover wearable technologies.

He thinks continuing to monitor the situation is an adequate response.

We’re not betting on it.

When human life is at stake, we suggest, we can’t afford to take an overly optimistic approach. While it would be nice to believe that all human beings will behave responsibly, given a new set of temptations, bitter experience demonstrates otherwise.

If somebody can do something unwise, most likely somebody will do it.

Off to school – and to court BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Whatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again.

The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has

been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law.

Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and

sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

▼ MOST BRITISH COLUMBIANS CAN’T AFFORD A TAX INCREASE

Re: David Purser’s letter of Sept. 4 (“Striking teachers: Do the math”).

I loved the calculations; it got me to thinking.

Purser calculated that teachers make $367 a day and only work 39 weeks a year.

Then letter writer Michael Rich, a teacher, writes what a difficult position he’s in. He can only afford one car and finally took a vacation this year because his mother paid for it.

I worked for the federal government for 30 years, so I had some seniority. My life was threatened regularly. When I retired, my pay was $125 a day. When they needed to balance the budget, there were layoffs and the rest of us were told to be thankful for our jobs and deal with it.

Now that I’ve retired, my pay is $65.75 a day. While I’m trying to find out how to get Harvest Boxes from the community centre so I can eat and half the time I can’t afford to refill my prescriptions, these teachers want me to give them more money .

To pay for the teachers’ demands there will be property tax increases. How do the rest of us, who are not so lucky to make $367 a day, pay more?

How lucky to be in their position .

All students deserve support ▶ QUALITY OF PUBLIC EDUCATION HAS DECLINED I have recently retired after 35 years of teaching. In the ongoing contract dispute between teachers and the government, there have been many references to “special needs students” and “specialist teachers.” I am one of those “specialist teachers” who saw her caseload skyrocket in the last decade.

During my career, I worked under Social

Credit, NDP and Liberal governments. I witnessed a long parade of teaching practices and trends come and go.

In the first two-thirds of my career there were certainly bumps in the road, but overall, public and governmental support for students with special needs underwent a radical and positive transformation. We evolved from segregation to inclusion, and from a strictly remedial approach to one that embraced prevention and early intervention.

Sadly, under Christy Clark’s leadership as education minister, and then as premier, our

▼ GET KIDS BACK IN SCHOOL, THEN HAMMER OUT THE DETAILS Sorry folks, but I am siding with the government on this one.

The teachers are demanding that our education minister should resign. It should be union boss Jim Iker that is the one to step down.

I believe the thrust of this stand-off lies with the younger generation of teachers who are not necessarily parents.

What ever happened to essential service?

Issues involving this strike should be hammered out after hours while kids are in school.

public education system has devolved and is in danger of causing irreparable harm to some of those in its care. Students with identified learning disabilities are among those who have been most seriously affected.

I find that many people have a limited understanding of what a learning disability is. Learning disabled (LD) students are not mentally challenged or slow learners. To receive this designation, students can test out as having an IQ ranging from low average, all the way up to the gifted range, but be seriously underachieving in school due to their neurological “wiring.”

Their learning disabilities affect how they perceive, process or store information. LD students are all different from one other, and they all have the potential to be successful if they are given instruction that is tailored to their particular learning style.

Prior to the contract stripping and ongoing cutbacks of the last 12 years, I had a caseload of approximately 10 LD students. In the past decade, my caseload exploded to encompass all types of students with learning challenges, covering up to seven classes at one time.

My caseload included the learning disabled, slow learners, mentally handicapped, English language learners, and the average child who needed specific support in one or more subject areas. No matter how I juggled my schedule, I could never meet all the needs.

I retired this June, and I am blessed to have an infant granddaughter. When she begins school, I hope that she and her peers will have access to whatever supports they may need,in order to realize their full potential as learners.

We owe that to all of our children.

BCTF demands make no sense ▶ SMALLER CLASS SIZES NOT NEEDED; FEWER TEACHERS ARE The present BCTF demands border on insanity. Do the math.

There are 500,000 students

students to their schools. We support any process that both parties can agree to that will break this impasse.

Throughout this dispute, trustees have continually expressed our views to the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) to urge the parties towards a settlement.

In addition, the Delta Board of Education has written to the Minister of Education and the President of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) to stress that there should be no further disruption to our students’ learning.

Further efforts include discussions with our MLAs, the media, through social networking and on our website to emphasize the need for the parties to act to return our students to school.

and 40,000 teachers, in the public school system today.

Divide the amount of teachers into the amount of students and you come up with 12.5 students per teacher.

This means that 20,000 teachers could take care of 24 students per class.

We also work closely with our trustees’ provincial association, the B.C. School Trustees’ Association, to join with boards of education from across the province to advocate for settlement between the parties. On Aug. 7, 2014 our board further updated the community with a letter, which provided the details of BCSTA Back to School Action Plan.

We remain committed to doing everything we can to urge the parties to achieve a settlement.

Please read our latest letter to the Minister of Education, BCPSEA and BCTF regarding the impact on our students: web. deltasd.bc.ca/content/ resources/jobaction2014 Laura Dixon, Chair Delta Board of Education

My question is, what are the other 20,000 teachers doing besides collecting a good paycheque each month? Now they want a $5,000 signing bonus plus smaller class sizes too?

Come on folks, grab a brain.

First you waste the summer holiday season that should

have been used for negotiations. Now you use kids as pawns to meet your demands.

Disgusting indeed.

Where else can you get a good paying job with three months holidays each year?

▼ THERE IS AN EASY FIX TO THE TEACHERS’ DISPUTE: THE B.C. LIBERALS COULD PROPERLY FUND THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM

Premier Christy Clark is quoted as saying “there are no easy fixes” in the current teachers’ dispute with the government. That is totally false.

The easy fix is to properly fund our public education system to the national average and stop funnelling off public funds to pay for private schooling for the privileged.

Her assertion that teachers should go back to classes while “negotiations” continue would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. She knows full well the BCTF had tried repeatedly over the summer to get negotiations happening only to be allowed one day to negotiate. The rest of the days were “exploratory” in nature, not negotiating.

Negotiations are about give and take. The BCTF has backed up three times now and the government has brought no new funding to the table in order to address class size and composition. The government keeps insisting that teachers have to take what other public sector unions have.

The public needs to be aware that teachers’ wages in B.C. are thousands of dollars per month less than their counterparts in other parts of Canada, while this disparity is not so great with other public sector unions.

Surrey coal terminal seeks Metro approval despite court fight ▶ FRASER

SURREY DOCKS CHALLENGING REGION’S AIR QUALITY AUTHORITY JEFF NAGEL

Fraser Surrey Docks intends to apply for an air quality permit from Metro Vancouver for its now-approved coal export terminal, even though it is simultaneously challenging the regional district’s jurisdiction over air

pollution in court.

The port authority approved the proposed coal transfer facility last month and did not require it to obtain a Metro permit.

“We’re moving forward with that on a voluntary basis,” said Fraser Surrey Docks President and CEO Jeff Scott. “We feel this is a step in a positive direction that will add further confidence in ensuring our facility doesn’t have significant impacts.”

At the same time, Scott’s staff are working with Metro officials, both sides are preparing for a fight in B.C. Supreme Court.

The terminal operator disputed an unrelated $1,000 pollution ticket Metro issued last year and has taken the position that federal port lands are exempt from the regional district’s authority over air quality.

“The port has jurisdiction over our property and sets the mandates and parameters, including air quality,” Scott said.

Scott aims to have the $15-million coal facility operational in the fall of 2015.

The company is pushing ahead despite opposition from climate change activists, local residents, city councils and medical health officers.

And Scott won’t wait for Metro approval either, adding construction will start “as soon as possible” – likely “before or during” the regional permitting process.

Metro air quality and environment director Roger Quan said a loss in court would set a major precedent removing Metro authority over pollution from other port-owned lands.

Other terminals must abide by the terms of Metro permits that limit dust emissions from sulphur or potash piles and grain-handling operations.

Metro also expects a voluntary permit amendment application from Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver.

The existing coal terminal got approval from the port in January 2013 to increase metallurgical coal exports from eight million to 18 million tonnes per year.

Construction is expected to start soon, but Metro can’t block the Neptune expansion – even if its authority is upheld in court – because the terminal has an existing Metro permit.

Quan said Metro has had its mobile air monitoring unit stationed near Neptune since April gathering baseline readings so the region can gauge any increase in coal dust emissions after the expansion.

The unit is now being redeployed near the BNSF rail line in White Rock to gather similar baseline data on coal dust and diesel emissions ahead of the new terminal opening at Fraser Surrey Docks.

Farm business reforms criticized by regional district politicians â–ś METRO VANCOUVER FEARS FARMERS MAY NOT GAIN FROM EASED USE OF ALR LAND JEFF NAGEL

Lower Mainland politicians registered serious concerns about planned reforms to the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in a consultation session with B.C. government officials last month.

The province wants to loosen the restrictions on non-farm uses of ALR land to help improve the survival odds of struggling farmers and expects to introduce revised regulations by December.

It’s considering allowing breweries, distilleries and meaderies on farmland, retail sales of food and beverages, and other options to generate extra business revenue from farmland.

The Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley politicians’ concerns are not with the principle of expanded uses to support farmers’ economic viability, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee, but that there are “loopholes so big you can drive a truck through.�

Half the ALR land in Metro Vancouver is not currently used for

farming and the regional district has actively campaigned for taxation reforms to discourage non-farm uses.

Metro’s submission to the agriculture ministry warns there’s no assurance farmers will benefit from the reforms, rather than non-farm business operators and land speculators.

The submission says existing businesses may be unfairly penalized if looser rules on non-farm uses prompt their competitors to move from industrial or commercial zones where they pay relatively high business property taxes to ALR farmland with low agricultural tax rates. “The decision would create a ‘slippery slope’ situation that could easily result in an escalation of agricultural land values to the extent that farmers would be unable to afford land in the ALR,� it says. “I can see all sorts of businesses buying up farmland thinking, ‘We can operate our body shop on farmland,’� Delta Coun. Ian Paton said.

Metro opposed most of the proposed changes in its submission, urging the province to

shelve them and first bolster enforcement of rules that ban illegal fill dumping on ALR land, retail sale of products that come mostly from off the farm and to deter the building of giant country estate mansions on farmland.

Paton also questioned how any eased business restrictions can be enforced since the Agricultural Land Commission has just two bylaw enforcement officers to patrol the entire province.

Richmond Coun.

Harold Steves noted wineries already set up on ALR land could conceivably add restaurants and banquet halls that could and should instead be built on commercial land within urban areas, where they’re better served by transit and utilities.

Non-farm uses have been granted in the past but must under the current rules be approved by the ALC. 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 off-premises.

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 farm-sourced manure and other agriculture waste. Metro says those applications should remain a case-by-case decision of the ALC due to impacts on neighbours.

Regional officials also protested the short four-week period for submissions, which had to be in by Aug. 22.

Metro has also budgeted $20,000 to work with cities, the province and farmers to investigate potential reforms to property tax policies that could spur more actual farming of farmland.

TD to plant 690 trees in Surrey ▶ VOLUNTEERS INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THE FUN AND HELP THE ENVIRONMENT BLACK PRESS

A recent study by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation found 96 per cent of Canadians feel it is important to plant trees today in order to sustain a healthy environment and improve the quality of life of future generations, and the ma-

jority want more trees planted in their communities.

Therefore, it’s the perfect time to participate in the fifth annual TD Tree Days events – a volunteer program that allows community members to contribute to a greener environment.

This fall, more than 4,224 trees will be planted by 775 volunteers – including many TD Canada Trust employees and their families, customers and community partners – at 17 sites across British Columbia.

One of the TD Tree Days sites selected is in Surrey where more than 690 trees will be planted with a variety of native coniferous trees, deciduous trees and shrubs that represent the diversity in the existing natural area by volunteers.

The TD Tree Days Tree Planting takes place Saturday, Sept. 20 at 9 a.m. at Royal Heights Park, 9797 115A St. To register to volunteer, go to www.tdtreedays.com

Hospital foundation president to be honoured at KPU ▶ JANE ADAMS ONE OF FOUR TO RECEIVE HONORARY DEGREES FROM KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY THIS FALL BLACK PRESS

Secretary, president and CEO of the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) Jane Adams will be recognized with an honorary degree from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) this fall for her longtime and outstanding contributions to building a healthy society.

“Jane touches lives every day,” said KPU President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Alan Davis.

“When people receive high-quality care at Surrey Memorial Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital or a number of other publicly funded health facilities, there is a significant likelihood that Jane had something big to do with it.”

Adams demonstrated

care and empathy for others from an early age.

She was only four years old when she started “The Kindness Club” in her hometown of Halifax, raising money to help rescue the homeless and orphaned animals that wound up at the local no-kill shelter.

Of course, there are few opportunities for a four-year-old to earn money, and a lemonade stand doesn’t draw much of a crowd in a city with only two warm months a year.

Adams had to be creative, so she started a library in her parents’ basement, using their books. The books were borrowed by donation, but when many didn’t come back, Adams’ parents put an end to the library.

Next, Adams tried her

“We all have gifts that benefit and advance society,” said Adams. “I can’t hold the scalpel like a surgeon can, but I can

find people who can find people who know how to put people into faster care, more effective care and more innovative care.”

With the SMHF since 2007, Adams has a long and distinguished history of successful hospital

fundraising campaigns.

These include the SMHF Tulips for Tomorrow campaign, which raised $15 million for the hospital’s new emergency centre, and the 100 Days to Give campaign, which generated $10 million for the Jim Pattison

Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre.

Prior to joining SMHF, Adams was executive director of the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation for nine years. Under her leadership, St. Paul’s Hospital grew its receipted revenue from $2 million to $10 million, and developed a number of marquis campaigns, most notably the annual Lights of Hope, which raises about $2.3 million every year for the hospital.

Adams also directed a $15-million capital campaign for Kingston Hospital and directed the University of Victoria’s $25-million expansion campaign.

“In a world where we talk about such big numbers, we lose sight of the fact that even a modest amount of money has the potential to make a dramatic impact on a vast number of lives.”

Adams points to the expression, “early mon-

“Without early money from generous people, ideas would simply languish.”

Surrey, in particular, is a place where ideas grow, said Adams, who lauds colleagues at Surrey Memorial Hospital and in the health care field for their willingness to collaborate and see things differently.

“You don’t see this level of co-operation anywhere else.”

In her spare time, Adams rescues and rehabilitates orphaned and homeless sporting dogs from the U.S., which has been dealing with a surge in the population of homeless animals since the 2009 recession.

Families who lost their homes found alternative housing, but many of their pets ended up at already overburdened shelters.

Adams picks up dogs at the border, shuttles them to Watts veterinary appointments and fosters them in her home until permaMcKay nent homes can be found for them.

Honorary degrees are awarded in Bubber recognition of dignified achievements or outstanding service to the public. Adams is one of several outstanding individuals who will be recognized with an honorary degree by KPU at fall convocation.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, former superintendent of the Surrey School District Mike McKay and KPU Chancellor Arvinder Bubber will all receive honorary degrees this October.

Do you know an ‘energetic’ woman? ▶ MINERVA FOUNDATION TO HONOUR

WOMEN IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY

There are only two weeks left to nominate an outstanding B.C. woman for a Women In Energy award.

The Minerva Foundation for B.C. Women will be honouring four women working in the field of energy at the ninth annual Women In Energy luncheon – the foundation’s signature event which celebrates women for their significant contributions to non-traditional fields.

Presented by Scotiabank, the awards luncheon will be held

at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver on Nov. 26. All winners will be in attendance, along with more than 400 senior business and community leaders.

“This is a unique opportunity to celebrate women leading the way in a vibrant and growing sector in our province,” said Adine Mees, CEO of the Minerva Foundation.

For the purpose of these awards, the definition of Energy includes electricity, oil and gas, energy

efficiency and conservation, and alternative fuels. At the event, two honourees will receive awards for community leadership and excellence; one for her role as a volunteer or philanthropist; and another, the inaugural Emerging Leader award.

To nominate an outstanding woman working in Energy, find the eligibility criteria and nomination form on Minerva’s website: www.theminervafoundation.com.

Nominations close on Sept. 26. Tickets to the event can also be purchased through the Minerva website.

The Minerva Foundation for B.C. Women is a charitable organization that delivers a range of unique programs to help

women develop their leadership capacity and find meaningful work. From education awards for women in need, mentoring and

At about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7, she saw the blood-soaked man walking into Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Two other men charged up behind him and tried to pull him outside.

Security quickly intervened, taking the two men outside and allowing the injured man inside to get help.

The 19-year-old South Asian man had been shot about a mile away in Whalley near 134 Street and 90 Avenue.

Erica – who was in the hospital for treatment and did not want her last name used – watched in disbelief as the violent events unfolded before her.

Later, after her CT scan, Erica saw Surrey RCMP scouring the hospital in what she thinks was a search for a possible assailant.

“That would not be good, that’s what’s killing me,” she said.

“I’m shaken up, a little – I mean, what the hell is happening?”

Two hours before Erica saw the victim, Surrey Mounties responded to a call of shots fired at 134 Street and 90 Avenue.

Police were also told about several vehicles seen speeding away from the shooting.

Surrey Memorial Hospital called police about the scene Erica witnessed, saying that the 19-year-old was being treated in hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

The victim was not co-operating with police, but after interviewing witnesses, it appears the gunman was known to the victim.

Surrey Mounties are requesting anyone who may have witnessed the incident or observed vehicles fleeing from the area call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Local woman completes Waikiki Roughwater Swim ▶ TINA HANSEN FINISHES IN A LITTLE MORE THAN 90 MINUTES SARAH MASSAH

A Surrey woman was

one of 871 swimmers – and only two Canadians – competing in the 45th annual Waikiki Rough Water Swim in Honolulu this month.

Tina Hansen took on the 3.84km swim from Kaimana Beach, under

Diamond Head to Kahanamoku Beach at the Hawaiian Hilton on Sept. 1, after hearing about the interesting history.

The longtime triathlete learned that the swim was the basis

for the first modern long-distance triathlon event, the Hawaiian Iron Man swim, with participants completing the water portion, then moving on to the 180-km bike ride and a 42-km long marathon.

“I thought, ‘what is this Waikiki Rough Water?’” Hansen told Black Press Friday. “It interested me.”

The 48-year-old registered massage therapist – who often trains with friends at White Rock’s East Beach – completed the swim in 1:33:38, finishing 468th overall and 17th out of 38 in

GVHBA to hold Fall Home Renovation Show next month

By Kerry Vital If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam.

Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the popular Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute one-on-one consultations to homeowners

looking for assistance. The consultations are first come, first serve and signup will take place at the show.

Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends, Renovating versus New Build, Heritage Renovations and Designing for Small Spaces, among many others. A full list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online.

“Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.”

De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it extremely important to hire a professional RenoMark renova-

tor.

“The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. “As well, all RenoMark holders have committed themselves to a code of business ethics and offer warranties on the work they do, offering peace of mind to home owners that RenoMark professionals stand behind the work they do.”

The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288. The show will take place between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Oct. 4, and 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Oct. 5.

The Mayfair, a luxury home renovated by Teragon Developments and Construction, is located in Vancouver’s historic Shaughnessy neighbourhood. The renovation took two and a half years from start to finish, and includes an entirely new foundation, state-of-the art technology and plenty of beautiful features.

West Coast luxury by Teragon Developments A two-and-a-half-year renovation updated the home from 1928 with technology and features that would have never been imaginable when the house was originally built.

By Kerry Vital Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood is full of heritage-style homes nestled in lush greenery. Many of the homes take their inspiration from the history of the area, and one of Teragon Developments and Construction’s recent renovations is no exception. The home, which blends Tudor architecture with Art Deco, also offers modern amenities that no one would have imagined when the original home was built in 1928.

“This was an intense renovation,” says Lars Van Linge, president of Teragon Developments, adding that it took place over two and a half years, and includes an entirely new foundation for the home to allow for an increase in ceiling height and usable space.

The original home was the same size as the finished product (approximately 10,000 square feet), but was old and out of date. The family of four brought in Van Linge and his team to build a home that can truly be considered a luxury estate. Now known as The Mayfair, the home is seriously stunning. The curb appeal is incredible, with leaded windows, wood beams, brickwork and a travertine and natural stone walkway. Tudor arches are featured throughout,

including on the ceilings, fireplaces, doors and room entrances.

“The homeowner generally left it to the designers and us,” Van Linge says. Teragon worked with architect Stefan Weidemann to design the four-level home, which also features a three-car garage, botanical garden, a pool-side cabana and a private putting green, among other amenities. A wood-fired pizza oven is just one feature of the outdoor kitchen.

Inside, the home is one of the most technologically advanced in North America. In fact, it won an award for Best Overall Integrated Home from the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA).

“This home has everything,” says Van Linge. “It can be controlled anywhere in the world.”

Integrated audio and visual systems are throughout, including outdoors. The lighting for inside and outside the house is so state-of-the-art that it required its own architect.

“We installed very advanced lighting for the owner’s art collection,” Van Linge says. “His collection is worth about $4 million; he has original works by Emily Carr, for example.”

To protect the artwork, the home has a built-in humidification system that will keep everything at the optimal temperature, along with multi-zone climate control.

You enter through the formal entry on the main level, with its formal living room, study, formal dining room, kitchen and casual dining room and living room. There you have access to the outdoor dining terrace and covered lounge.

The Mayfair an entertainer’s paradise, with a games room, theatre and wine cellar “ from page.1 The level above is a private haven with three bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and luxurious ensuite.

The top level has another bedroom, as well as a sitting room, library, play room and laundry room.

Teragon also expanded the basement of the home, from half crawl space and half basement to a basement with 10-foot ceilings throughout. That basement now holds a games room, home theatre, wine cellar and gym, making the home an entertainer’s paradise.

The home has plenty of heritage-style touches, such as walnut panelling and flooring laid in a herringbone pattern.

The bronzed railing on the sweeping staircase was inspired by an art noveau railing from Brussels, Belgium, and was handforged. Custom millwork, five fireplaces, custom stained glass and natural stone elements are just a few of the other luxurious aspects of The Mayfair.

Van Linge himself is a journeyman carpenter, noting that he enjoys bringing those old-fashioned elements to his work.

“Something that sets us apart is our eye for detail,” he says.

“You can’t execute these kinds of ideas without being able to see the (small) details.”

The renovations were completed last year and the owner has since sold the home, but Van Linge and his team are still involved with the new owners, assisting them with the operations of the house.

“We’re still working with them to maintain and service the exterior paint and the HVAC system, for example,” says Van Linge.

For more information about The Mayfair and Teragon Developments, visit www.teragon.ca.

The original home, above, was built in 1928 and required an upgrade. Among the new features are a home theatre, below left, a hand-forged bronzed railing on the staircase, left, and a gourmet-quality kitchen, below.

Transitioning into the fall season in the garden

By Kerry Vital

Fall is a time of transition. A new season begins, the fall colours start to arrive and it’s time to consider what you want your garden to look like next year.

“Fall is a great time to prune your shrubs and trees,” says Jeremy Miller, owner of Houston Landscapes. “You can rejuvenate your beds with manure, mulch and soil. It’s a good time for planting, potting and soil amendment.”

Soil amendment is something added to soil to improve an element of it, such as drainage or water retention. You want to ensure that your soil will keep your plants fertilized and healthy throughout the winter.

Fall is not usually the time for blooming flowers, but it is certainly the time for gorgeous foliage.

“Enjoy the fall leaves; they’ll be beautiful,” says Miller. “It’s also a time to look at what you want in your yard. If you’re looking out the window now and you want to see those beautiful red leaves, now is the time to engage with a landscape designer to discuss what you can do for next year.”

Fall is the perfect time to plant larger trees and shrubs, as the increased moisture in the soil will contribute to a better growing environment for them.

“There are a number of large trees that aren’t even available in the summer,” Miller says. “You can bulk up your garden in the fall.”

Those fallen leaves also make for great mulch for your garden.

“Rake up all of those leaves and put them on the garden beds,” Miller says.

Winter vegetables such as kale and cauliflower are great things to plant now in preparation for the colder months. Herbs like sage and thyme are also good things to start planting in the fall. If you want to grow something from seeds, try carrots, lettuce or radishes.

Now is also the time to plant bulbs to flower next year. Your local nursery will have plenty of options, from easy-to-grow varieties that even the worst gardener will be able to handle to flowers more suited to experienced green thumbs. Bulbs that you can plant right now include tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, among many others.

However, you don’t necessarily have to wait until

spring to see some blooms. Miller notes that winter pansies, for example, are able to withstand the colder weather, as their name states. Other potted plants that can create visual interest for fall include autumn crocuses and mums.

Fall is also the time to plan ahead for when spring and summer return.

If you spent the summer outside thinking about new paving stones or raised garden beds, start putting those plans into effect.

“Now is the time to plan out projects for next year,” Miller says. “Don’t wait until next summer when contractors are ... busy; plan your larger yard renovations now because reputable contractors will be planning their 2015 contracts now.”

Automating your home with the touch of a button

By Kerry Vital Phone applications are a way of life now. You can check the weather, catch up on social media, play games and chat with friends, all in the palm of your hand. Some of the newest apps include ones that can control your home, even when you’re not there yourself.

Home automation companies such as Control4 offer phone apps as part of their system, allowing you to turn lights on or off, control a thermostat and check the status of your security system, among other options. This gives homeowners peace of mind in knowing that their home is fine even while they’re on vacation, as well as the convenience factor of being able to turn your phone into a command centre for your entire home.

It connects directly to your Control4 system, and is available for Apple iPhones and iPads and Android smartphones and tablets.

There are also a variety of apps available on the Apple iTunes App Store or Google’s Play Store for Android, depending on what kind of mobile phone you have. All of them require devices that are compatible, such as lightbulbs,

thermostats, wall switches and dimmers, just to name a few, but can be an easy way to integrate automation into your home.

If security is an important consideration for you, investigate downloading an app that turns an old phone or tablet into a motion detector camera. You can then set it up to turn on when it senses motion and record what’s going on around it.

There are also apps on the market that allow you to control your locks. A lock that is compatible with your phone is necessary, but allows you to lock and unlock your home with your smartphone, as well as give “keys” to friends and family. No more having to give out spare keys that might get lost!

Technology is an integral part of most homeowners’ lives, whether it’s through their television, computers or phones. The ability to control your home from afar is just the latest innovation.

Controlling your home can be as easy as opening an app. Whether you want to check the security system, turn on a light or watch television, apps such as those from Control4 will offer you that kind of convenience.

Creating texture with mouldings and millwork

By Kerry Vital A plain painted wall can be boring and tired.

Adding interior finishings can not only raise the value of your home, but also add some visual interest and distinction to a space.

“For too long in this industry, it’s been difficult to pull together beautiful designs because selecting and purchasing moulding, trim elements and interior doors has consisted of a complicated process,” says Jan Rutgers, Director, Product Development for Metrie. “With our new Finishing Collections, gone are the days of rummaging through bins to find the best casing to match the dimensions of your baseboard.”

Now, you can find pretty much everything on the market.

“A few trends we are seeing include painting trim and walls the same colour,” says Rutgers.

“We’re also seeing a trend of designers using unique wood stains for signature looks.”

A stylish wardrobe starts in a well-organized closet

By Kerry Vital An organized closet will save you time and headaches in the morning, whether your wardrobe is large or small. No longer having to search for that sweater you wanted to wear as the weather gets chillier is just one of the benefits of installing a custom closet.

“Regardless of how small or large a space, designing a custom storage solution that maximizes every inch of space can make a world of difference in helping people get organized and reclaim their environment,” says Paige Adams, sales and marketing assistant for California Closets.

She points out that there is no one-sizefits-all approach to a closet. Instead, the final design can be tailored to a client’s needs.

“Options are endless when it comes to creating custom closets,” Adams says. “They are completely unique to each client and their specific needs.”

Accessory items for closets include tie racks, belt racks, scarf racks, pull-out mirrors and pull-out hampers, Adams says.

“Clients are often looking for the most innovative and highly functional design solutions that are both beautiful and unique to them,” she adds.

Are you obsessed with shoes? Built-in shoe racks that hold boots, high heels, flats, dress shoes and everything in between are easy additions to a custom closet.

You don’t have to do it alone however.

“Hiring a professional is extremely beneficial in the development and creation of custom closets,” says Adams.

Closet organizers have come a long way since the plain white wire shelving that many people grew up with. Adams notes that there are options for every budget.

“Whether our clients prefer traditional

As with your clothing, there are many things to keep in mind when choosing what to include in your closet design.

“It is important to keep in mind that before designing a custom closet, homeowners should have a good idea of how the closet will function and the items that will be going in

it,” Adams says. “This is important in creating a design that maximizes the space and best suits the client’s needs.”

Do you have a few things you haven’t worn in several years but can’t bear to get rid of? Now is the time to think about whether it’s really worth keeping that pair of jeans that are too small.

“Installing custom closets also provides a great opportunity for clients to purge items they haven’t worn or used in years,” says Adams. “By doing so, they can create space for the things they really need.”

Make your renovation wish list affordable with rebates It was Saturday morning, and my husband and I were ready to tackle various home renovation projects.

We walked around our charming, 1903 Vancouver home and wrote down all of the areas that needed work. We decided on practical upgrades that would make the home healthier and more comfortable to live in including insulation in our attic and those upgrades that would create a more modern, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly home such as a new fireplace.

Next, we finalized our list of home upgrades that we wanted to complete. Unfortunately, we encountered a rather large hiccup – we had a tight budget of $X, and a wish list total of $X x 10.

Does this scenario sound familiar?

Deciding on what upgrades are the priority is often one of the most difficult decisions to make when

starting home renovations, especially when there is a budget to work within.

A recommended strategy was to first focus on the areas that would make our home healthier and more comfortable to live in, such as draftproofing and ventilation. These upgrades could also make the home more energy efficient, and save us a considerable amount of money year after year in home energy expenses. For example, heating accounts for approximately 50 per cent of an average household’s energy consumption. Therefore, any upgrades to our home’s insulation and building envelope could reduce our heating bills. As well, an ENERGY STAR® bathroom fan not only helps to maintain proper humidity and air quality, but also uses less than half the energy of a regular fan.

Additionally, high and mid-efficiency

gas furnaces use about 60 to 90 per cent less energy by turning down the heat when not needed. Overall, a home that has an EnerGuide rating of 80 or higher, which indicates that it is an energy efficient Power Smart home, uses up to 30 per cent less energy than an average home on the market.

If you are thinking about moving forward on some home upgrades of your own and need an incentive to get started, here you go - complete your upgrades before March 31, 2015, and you can apply for rebates
