Challenge of city bylaws against camping in parks can proceed

A lawsuit filed against the city on behalf of the homeless, which contends that the city’s bylaws against camping in parks are unconstitutional, will proceed. In July, the City of Abbotsford argued that the lawsuit, filed by the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors (DWS) with the assistance of the non-profit Pivot Legal Society, didn’t have the right or authority to bring the case to court. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Christopher Hinkson released his written decision on Monday, saying that the DWS’s application can proceed. Mayor Bruce Banman said the ruling is a “complex, 39-page decision.” Banman said the city’s legal counsel is reviewing the decision and “once a full understanding of the decision has been achieved, the city will consider options and next steps.” The lawsuit was filed after residents who had established a protest camp in Jubilee Park last October were given an eviction notice from the city. The B.C. Supreme Court granted the city an injunction in December that required the homeless people leave the park, citing contravention of the city’s parks bylaw. The injunction applied only to Jubilee Park and the issue of prohibiting camping in all city parks was set to be addressed separately. In July, the city’s lawyer Kevin Yardley argued Continued on A6

Culinary arts school to close doors Salvation Army says program no longer feasible

The Salvation Army has announced it is closing its Cascade Culinary Arts School on Oct. 31 because it is no longer economically sustainable. Deb Lowell, public relations director, said the school has recently been in a “period of transition.” She said a decision was made in the spring to offer only the Professional Cook 1 program at the school to address staffing changes and other “operational challenges.” “It was our great hope that we could increase the student body and sustain the school, but despite our best efforts to investigate every opportunity and possibility, the reality is that the school is no longer economically sustainable,” Lowell said. Lowell said the Salvation Army is com-

mitted to working through the transition period and supporting staff and students with their ongoing education and future plans. The school currently has seven students, only one of whom will complete the program before it closes, as well as two fulltime staff and several on-call staff members. The culinary arts program began in 1993 and over the years expanded to provide industry-standard curriculum. In 2003, the program was accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of BC. The school has operated out of the Salvation Army’s Cascade Community Church on DeLair Road in recent years, offering chef training, institutional chef train-

ing and the Professional Cook 1 program. Students also provided catering services for events taking place at the church, including weddings, conferences, seminars and meetings. Lowell said Salvation Army staff will work with those who have bookings “to facilitate an effective transition period and ensure the success of (their) function or celebration event.” She advised anyone with concerns about an upcoming event to contact the bookings coordinator at 604-556-7000. Lowell thanked the community for its support over the years. “Lives have been changed,” she said of the estimated 350 students who have gone through the school since its inception.

“ Thanks for my new smile! These new teeth are so great . . . why did I wait so long? I will definitely refer you.” — Satisfied Abbotsford Customer

A man wanted for a double murder in Chilliwack was arrested last Thursday night after a two-hour standoff with police at a home in Abbotsford. Aaron David Douglas, 33, was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in connection with the shooting deaths of Richard Blackmon, 38, and Tyler Belcourt, 36. Both were gunned down in the early hours of Aug. 7 in the 46100 block of Gore Avenue in Chilliwack. A third person escaped with her life but was injured.

A homeless camp in Jubilee Park, shown here in 2013, was cleared out after the city received a court injunction. The city is now facing a lawsuit arguing its bylaw against camping in parks is unconstitutional.

that the DWS’s case was too broad and asked that it be dismissed because it alleged a breach of people’s rights but did not name individual plaintiffs or specific instances when the constitution had been violated. Banman said the city is still working closely with service providers and partner agencies

to address issues of homelessness. There is currently a highly visible camp on city land on Gladys Avenue, where some of the residents of the Jubilee Park camp are now located. Another stretch of Gladys, owned by BC Hydro, was cleared in July after the company issued an eviction notice. Banman said when it comes

to the camp on Gladys Avenue, the city wants to be respectful of any decisions by the judge as the process proceeds. He added that council has approved the draft action plan on homelessness in principle and the final report will come to council on Oct. 6. On Pivot’s website, it states they hope the lawsuit will go to trial in 2015.

A costly sideshow

The B.C. Supreme Court has decided that a lawsuit filed against the city on behalf of the homeless – claiming the city’s bylaws against camping in parks are unconstitutional – will proceed. We make no argument against the points of law no doubt paramount in the judge’s findings. However, we had hoped this case would be recognized and dismissed for the theatre it has become. The BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors (DWS), with the assistance of the non-profit Pivot Legal Society, brought this action with the intention of drawing attention to the plight of the homeless and put pressure on the city to come up with long-term solutions. Point made. Notwithstanding a plodding pace, and unfortunate misstep in turning down a provincially funded supportive housing project this spring, city hall has felt the pressure and engaged in this complex issue, with another plan in the works for property on Gladys and an effort to regain Victoria’s financial support. As long as that may take, homeless

people camping in city parks and on public land is obviously not an answer, and only serves to further tilt public opinion against the cause. Continuing this lawsuit is also a waste of precious public funds, which instead of paying legal fees, could be used to actually help people in need. We’d like to tell you how much the city has spent so far, and have filed freedom of information requests to do so, but civic authorities have maintained that solicitorclient privilege prevents that information from being released. Even if that’s true, we strenuously argue that the public right and need to know trumps legal protocol. Nevertheless, fighting this pointless legal battle must be expensive, and will become more so as it advances to court. Ultimately, two points are clear here. Governments must have the power to determine where people live within city bounds. This litigation is a distracting, costly sideshow to the real issue.

Time to act on homelessness is now Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand It is back to court again for Abbotsford over the handling of homelessness; and what a colossal waste of time and money. While I don’t take exception to anyone questioning city bylaws, the entire issue might have been avoided had the city acted quickly on an offer by a landowner to provide a village-like site for the homeless a kilometre or so north of downtown Abbotsford. But rather than allow the project to proceed, even on a temporary basis, the city, like most bureaucracies, chose a slower course. Although a city staff report on a temporary use permit is expected soon, I would guess any suggestion of approval for a “dignity-style” community will take even longer to enact.

The recommendations of the city task force on homelessness don’t offer any short-term solutions, either. Meanwhile, street-sides along Gladys and green spaces above Railway opposite The Keg are cluttered with tarps and squalor, drug abuse, mental illness and hand-to-mouth poverty. I’m certain a temporary village will not do much to alleviate the previously mentioned; however, it would allow those who choose for whatever reason to now squat wherever it seems convenient to have a place they could call home. A place where they would not be hassled, a place that would be far more secure and comforting than a tarp in a muddy patch of bush, or street-side boulevard. The past few months have been somewhat amenable to outdoor living, but the rains are coming, and winter won’t be long in making conditions outdoors close to intolerable. Rather than delay, council should act immediately to approve the site on Valley Road, even if it’s only temporary. They could contribute funding to erect a large but simple pole-barn type struc-

ture so that some or all of the current tents would have a roof over them, then add in some porta-potties and a potable water source. It’s a far better alternative, crude though we may think it to be, than allowing the homeless to continue to face winter in their current ‘housing’.

Rather than delay, council should act immediately to approve the site on Valley Road, even if it’s only temporary. A little innovation, while overlooking the standard procedure of adherence to bylaws and zoning, could be a quick, albeit temporary, fix until suitable housing accommodations are provided. Dithering with suggestions of a homeless shelter within the downtown area will only exacerbate the situation, take months if not years to construct, and

may actually do little to help those who, in their own words, “don’t play well with others.” To keep putting off, or even approving but taking months to construct a “dignified structure” or group of structures with all the amenities, makes little sense towards an immediate resolution of today’s situation. Or do we wait yet another year until the courts resolve the current bylaw challenge? Regardless, by continuing to put off the inevitable, no matter the location and accommodations, homelessness isn’t going away. I’m sure the city prefers to have bylaws for everything, but in the grand scheme of things the bureaucracy simply creates a morass of regulation that instead of solving the issue, perpetuates it. Get the Valley Road site up and running as quickly as possible. Get the homeless shelters off the streets and into a place that their residents could for a time call their own, until permanent homes can be built or found. markrushton@abbynews.com

the election, didÂ the governing party not negotiate some sweetheart deals with some public service unions? Was not the provinceâ€™s credit rating being degraded? What was the financial position of the province at that time?Â Was there not a downturn in the economy shortly after the Liberals were retuned to power? Did they not weather this time better than most provinces? I feel that we owe our present government and all MLAs, regardless of party, a huge vote appreciation. Anyone who is willing to get into politics is a very special person. If a politician is doing a good job, send them â€œbouquets not bricks.â€? Eric Myrholm, Abbotsford

Re: Sept. 17 letter from Debbie Gove, â€œCorporate tax cuts the cause of educational fiascoâ€? is a bit puzzling. She writes that in â€œ2001 the Liberals introduced huge tax cuts for corporations and upper income earners.â€? Gove did not mention that cancellation of the education union agreement which may have been an oversight? Letâ€™s go back a bit before 2001 when the NDP were in power. Were there not problems when they were in power? Did they not have a multi-million payout to the medical profession on an arbitrated settlement? Were not businesses and executivesÂ leaving the province for other areas with affordable tax structures? A short time before

LAND USE CONTRACT NO. 92 AMENDMENT BYLAW BYLAW NO. 2353-2014

The City of Abbotsford will hold a public information meeting to consult with the public on a proposal to amend the City’s Of¿cial Community Plan (OCP), which would change the land use designation of the subject properties from City Centre to City Residential. This amendment is necessary in conjunction with the applicant’s proposal to rezone the subject property from Urban Residential Zone (RS3) to a Comprehensive Development Zone to accommodate a future supportive housing development.

I wonder if actually listening to those who are in love with guns and knives might be worthwhile. When a hiker is beheaded because his country of origin will not stop fighting ISIS, I don’t confuse the beheading with ISIS wanting to spread Islam, or decimate competing religions, or even being enraged because “the West” is an overly permissive society. Looking hard and long, I can’t find “religion” anywhere within the beheading. What I can easily find is an overwhelming desire for land, for wealth, for power, for position, for influence, and for immunity when it comes to atrocious acts. Arguing that “religious extremists” are the problem ignores not only the present, but history as well. Stalin also had an overwhelming desire for land, for wealth, for power, for position, for influence, and for immunity when it came to atrocious acts. As did Hitler. Yet we seldom hear talk of “secular extremism.” We recognize that violence was less a “symptom” of either Communism or Nazism, and rather more a means to an end. Followers of ISIS are not in the least interested in “evangelizing” – they have already killed more Muslims than non-Muslims. And, sadly, ISIS takes great pleasure and satisfaction in using violence as a means to an end. Regina Dalton Abbotsford

A mayor for all… Being mayor of the great city of Abbotsford for the past three years has been an amazing honour. The goal for my first term was to change the status quo that had stagnated City Hall for so long and to do what I could to help make our city better. I am a regular guy who felt that the regular Abbotsford residents needed an advocate in the mayor’s chair. I wanted a city that allowed people from every corner and walk of life, every ethnicity, religious and social background, every longstanding business leader and aspiring entrepreneur to be represented equally at City Hall. I love this city and I believe in it. I especially believe in our citizens – from our founding families who

◼ City Hall is working for you. When businesses succeed, jobs are created, and investment and economic spinoff happens here at home. Since I became mayor, red tape has been reduced. On average, the development permit process has gone from 11 to 4 weeks. Much has been achieved over the past three years, but there is still more to do. Perhaps most importantly, Abbotsford needs to keep moving forward, and not go back to the old ways of City Hall. I ran for mayor because I have children and grandchildren in this city and I want my grandkids to be able to get a great education, find a fantastic job and buy a home right here in Abbotsford. Our city has so many amazing advantages – a true sense of community amongst our residents, vast amounts of land, a diverse tax base, an innovative business community, an airport and a border crossing, to name a few - and over the past three years, we have set the stage for even greater success. Our collective house has been put in order. Now, Abbotsford needs to capitalize on the foundation that has been laid.

On November 15th I ask for your vote, to keep Abbotsford moving forward for all.

continue to show leadership today, to our young people who represent the promise of our community’s future.

Today, through hard work and with the help of our dedicated city staff, incredible residents, and strong and dynamic business community, we have achieved goals that a few short years ago seemed impossible:

◼ Transparency and efficiency have been increased at City Hall. I’m proud to say that the old days of a few controlling the opportunities for the many are gone.

Cats and water don’t mix. That may be a perception many people hold, but Kendall De Menech wants to change that. She runs K9H20, a hydrotherapy program for dogs, but the list of her animal clients extends beyond that to many enthusiastic feline swimmers. It’s the idea of swimming cats that De Menech will present at the Urban Animal Summit, held on Oct. 22 to 24, in Lake Louise. The summit is intended to bring together innovators in the pet industry, looking at the entire spectrum of store owners, breeders, veterinarians, trainers and more, to help increase communication. De Menech was one of eight speakers at the regional conference and one of two chosen by the attendees to present at the national summit. “Swimming cats is an innovative program. No one is doing it.” She said that even people in the industry think that cats don’t want to swim. Continued on A13

Tailored for the way a cat thinks From A12

“But it’s not ‘should you swim a cat?’ It’s ‘how do you swim a cat?’” De Menech said she does it humanely and it is tailored to the way a cat thinks. She said she sees cats who are open-minded about water and those cats swim for recreation. Others can use it as a form of exercise and therapy. She said a cat that came had a smashed pel-

vis and went through surgery to repair damage. Swimming became a rehabilitative therapy. “He has recovered almost 100 per cent. He’s my best swimmer in the pool.” De Menech said while dogs are often offered physiotherapy and rehabilitation, cats are often euthanized. She wants to encourage people to think that cats require the same care. For more on De Menech visit k9h2o.com.

Raising awareness for achalasia

The first Achalasia Walk to Raise Awareness took place on Saturday, Sept. 27 at Fishtrap Creek Park in Abbotsford. All funds from the event were donated to Global Genes, an organization which funds research and promotes awareness for all rare diseases. The Abbotsford walk was organized by Jenine Wright, 26, who has had achalasia for almost 10 years. Achalasia is a rare esophageal disorder that affects eating and everyday life. Approximately one in 100,000 people have the disease.

Wright recently discovered an achalasia support group on Facebook, and this inspired her to organize the awareness walk, the first of its kind in Canada. “September is Achalasia awareness month and I thought about how much it would mean to me and the achalasia community if we saw people coming together to show support and help find a cure for achalasia,” she said.

forming for more than 10 years. The group has entertained hundreds of churches, conferences, businesses, and top Fortune 500 corporations across the U.S. and Canada with a show that is similar to TV’s Whose Line is it Anyway? and Theatre Sports. They create spontaneous comedy scenes based on audience suggestions and participation. While the team’s goal is to present high-quality comedy, they also keep their shows all-inclusive and all-clean. Panic Squad opens the Gallery 7 season each year, and the theatre’s artistic director Ken Hildebrandt said the improv group “has the audience in stitches all night long.” “Better yet, people don’t have to worry about off-colour humour since the team specializes in providing entertaining yet super-clean comedy. It’s great, familyfriendly fun.” Panic Squad normally consists of three performers who travel to locations throughout North America, but the Gallery 7 show is unique in that the team invites additional Lower Mainland improvisers. “With double the performers, there’s double the hilarity, plus they get to try out new games that have been in the workshop, but not yet performed in front of an audience,” Hildebrandt said. At the helm of Panic Squad is founding member Andrew Bright of Lynden, Wash. He will be joined on stage for the Gallery 7 Theatre show by Mike de Boer, Frank Nickel, Steve Krajnyak and John Voth, all from Vancouver. Tickets for the show are $23 for adults, $21 for seniors and students, and $15 for children (12 and under). They are available at the House of James (2743 Emerson St.), by calling 604852-3701 or online at gallery7theatre.com.

B.C. communities care. So do the Black Press newspapers that directly serve those communities. Reflecting and raising awareness of that caring spirit is part of the core mandate of every Black Press community newspaper. This publication is now part of an exciting new initiative undertaken by Black Press in British Columbia that works to further communicate the good work being done in communities, and provide a new opportunity for organizations and individuals to tap into that fountain of caring. BlackPress4Good.com is an online platform that brings the popular and successful phenomenon of crowd funding to Black Press readers. Charitable projects, causes and campaigns will now be able to deliver their message on the community level, safely and securely, in an online format to reach the vast digital audience and funding sources. “Crowd funding provides a means for individuals, organizations and businesses to raise money by appealing to the public,” explained Andrew Franklin, project lead for Black Press. “This platform is community focused and will be enhanced through the power of your local newspaper. The audience will be very aware of the campaigns and it will be up to the public as to whether they make a donation or not. Early indications show very positive signs. In addition to the exposure through your community media, the success of the campaigns will also rely on active social media participation. Anyone can set up a campaign, however there are safeguards in place to ensure each campaign is legitimate,” Franklin said.

Black Press launches this new community service on Oct. 1, in partnership with FundRazr, the platform at the roots of BlackPress4Good. com. More than 40,000 people and groups around the world have raised in excess of $50 million via FundRazr. Fundraisers register online via the link on this newspaper’s website home page, provide information about their objectives and fund recipients, and their project profiles are then posted on a dedicated website page to reach out to readers, who can monitor the progress of a specific cause. Supporters make their donations via PayPal, a secure and well-established digital payment system. Under 10 per cent of the total amount raised will be levied by FundRazr, PayPal and Black Press to recover the administration, support, marketing and hosting costs associated with this initiative. Readers will also have the opportunity to be inspired and touched by the good news content of the Black Press 4Good blog, at blogs.blackpress4good.com/. This site’s content is solely based on the good news stories being reported in Black Press papers across the province. Be introduced to the countless individuals and organizations who are making their communities better places to live. BlackPress4good.com and facebook.com/ blackpress4good have been created to help channel and enhance that caring spirit. Black Press is Canada’s largest independently owned newspaper company, with more than 150 titles in print and online in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio.

Foley earned the nickname “The Hardcore Legend” for his ability to absorb seemingly inhuman punishment. Foley was a three-time WWE champ, but is best known for his epic battle with The Undertaker in 1998’s “Hell in a Cell” match, during which he was knocked unconscious. With his ring retirement looming, Foley penned his own memoir and shocked the literary world when the book Have a Nice Day hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list in October 1999. A follow-up, 2001’s Foley is Good, hit number one on The New York Times list as well. Tickets for his Abbotsford show are $30 and $35 and are available by phone at 250-853-0966 or online at brownpapertickets. com/event/712957-1800-838-3006.

Black Press

B.C. municipal leaders have narrowly voted to defeat a proposed resolution from Burnaby to oppose Kinder Morgan’s $5.4-billion oil pipeline twinning. The issue went to an electronic vote last Thursday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention after a show of hands was too close to call. The final vote was 49.3 per cent in favour of the resolution and 50.7 per cent opposed. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the pipeline project – which would triple the size of a tank farm near homes in Burnaby and result in a seven-fold increase in oil tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet – is too risky. He also argued the federal government has no strategy to maximize jobs in Canada by ensuring bitumen is refined here instead of in China. “The risks of increasing oil tanker traffic are all to the down side for the B.C. coast,” said Islands Trust chair Sheila Malcolmson. “We get no benefit, there’s no refining, no jobs for us, our salmon industry’s at risk, our tourism industry is at risk and our first reponders who would be on the front lines are at risk.” But delegates from communities along the Thompson River said they fear a surge in oil tanker trains will run on the rail line through the region if the 60-year-old Kinder Morgan pipeline is not twinned to carry oil sands bitumen from Alberta. Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell argued the current cleanup response capability for a marine oil spill is very limited in the Vancouver area and the Trans Mountain project would bring a “huge improvement.” After the vote, Corrigan said he was disappointed but insisted the split vote still sends a “strong message” of concern from B.C. civic leaders.
