More jobs were on the menu along with burgers for the construction workers celebrating the launch of Phase 2 of the Station Square redevelopment. Anthem Properties Group and Beedie Development Group are turning what was once just a suburban mall into an urban neighbourhood highlighted by 1,800 homes in five condo towers in the Metrotown area. As crews prepared to put the roof on the first tower along Kingsway, the companies announced the launch of Phase 2, the largest with two highrises being erected at once. It will also mean 650 direct construction jobs, double the workforce from the first phase. “Every housing start creates five direct and indirect jobs so we’re looking at, for the duration of the project, employing 3,000 people,” said Ryan Beedie, president of Beedie Development. Mayor Derek Corrigan was happy to tout the fact the project will employ hundreds in “good paying jobs” in the city. see StAtION SquAre, A3

Art comes home in Burnaby Heights Mario bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
Burnaby Heights will hold its first cultural crawl on Saturday. But gallery goers won’t have to worry about wearing out their shoes. That’s because the work of 16 artists will all be presented in one place, a private residence at 3888 Yale St. Living Room Art in the Heights will also use the house’s kitchen, dining room, den and possibly even the laundry room, said organizer Yunuen Perez Vertti.
CHOICequotes Yunuen perez Vertti People are so excited to learn there are so many artists here.
She got the idea to present the work of local artists in an alternative space from similar exhibitions in American cities like Los Angeles and Houston. The event is funded by a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Vancouver Foundation.
Perez Vertti said presenting art in a house makes it less intimidating than asking people to come to a gallery or museum. That opens the art to a different audience. It also inspires the artists. Perez Vertti said she was astonished at the number of artists in the Heights who emerged from the anonymity of their own studio spaces in their garages, basements and kitchens when she put the call out for the living room exhibition. All but two of the participating artists live in the Heights, while the others work there or have a child attending school there. “People are so excited to learn there are so many artists here,” said Perez Vertti, a filmmaker. The program will include photography, visual and textile art, music and dance performances, film and storytelling. Beatrix Schalk, a 3-D artist, said the opportunity to exhibit at the living room show fired her creative energy after she’d put it on hold for years to raise a family.

Yunuen Perez Vertti visits the Burnaby Heights home where 16 artists including Courtney Taylor and Beatrix Schalk will display their work at Living Room Art, a one-day exhibition of work by local artists in a private home.
“I like the grassroots level of it,” said Schalk. “It creates new possibilities to be creative.” Photographer Courtney Taylor, who specializes in kid and family portraiture, said the show inspired her to explore a new, darker direction for her work. But in the end, the home environment seems more conducive to what she does
best, candid shots of kids at play that capture their exuberance and innocence. “It gives you the opportunity to explore, find your true passion,” said Taylor. Which is exactly the kind of experience Perez Vertti was hoping the project would create for the artists. “Anything goes,” said Perez Vertti, who’s hoping
the exhibition will be the first of many more artistic events in the community. “I want people to think it was cool and unexpected, and to have a good time,” she said. • Living Room Art in the Heights will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, 5-9 p.m. at 3888 Yale St. There is no charge for admission.

But she has to put that all out of her mind when she’s on the range, her hands poised at her side, waiting for the light that signals her to draw her gun and shoot. “You can’t let other people bother you,” said Robinson. “I put everybody out of my mind.

“I certainly believe very strongly that these kinds of jobs are the kinds that are sustainable,” Corrigan said. “We are going to continue to develop these town centres and there are going to be jobs here for many decades into the future.” He noted that $429 million went into workers’ pockets in Burnaby in earned wages resulting from construction in 2012. That number rose to $645 million in 2013 and so far this year, already $350 million. While job growth in Metro Vancouver is flat overall, that’s not so in Burnaby, according to Jeff Polkinghorne of global employment firm ManpowerGroup, in a press release. “Burnaby has really taken off. It’s where all the job growth is.” Corrigan said the construction jobs are thanks to transit-oriented developments like Station Square that are expected to continue in the future. “We’re destined to accept another million people in this region over the next 25 years and we can’t do it in a way that is environmentally responsible unless we look for density in areas around our transportation hubs.”

The 1996 Brentwood Town Centre Development plan designates the properties as “succession,” meaning industrial land proposed for eventual transition to multiplefamily residential. The developer was encouraged by city hall to acquire part of the Hydro property to the south to be included in the project. The rest of BC Hydro’s property could be acquired in future for consolidation with 2300 Madison Ave., the report said. That would allow for the extension of the trail network and stormwater management project that was done as part of the developments to the west. The developer will also be required to design and pay for a pedestrian and cycling overpass over the BNSF Rail line to connect Madison to an existing public trail to the south.

Election nominations close The Burnaby First Coalition is fielding a full slate of candidates in next month’s civic election. As announced earlier, businessman Daren Hancott, who previously vied for a federal Conservative nomination, is the new party’s candidate for mayor. The party’s candidates for council are: Hancott’s wife, Linda; former Burnaby Parents’ Voice school board candidates Helen Ward and Charter Lau; former independent candidate Nick Kvenich; former Team Burnaby candidate Ray Power; accountant Matthew Hartney; auto repair shop operator Jason Chan; and homebuilder Shakila Jeyachandran.
Burnaby First’s school board candidates are: retired Vancouver teacher and administrator Ben Seebaran; Burnaby school district employee Janice Beecroft; retired Burnaby teacher and administrator and former Team Burnaby candidate Franca Zumpano; Heather Leung, a former Burnaby Parents’ Voice supporter; and business owners Keith Tong and Maria Parente. The new party, a coalition of candidates from different political backgrounds, will try to poke holes into the Burnaby Citizens’ Association’s (BCA) two-time sweep of all seats on council and school board. Along with four-term Mayor Derek Corrigan, all
but one council incumbent is running for re-election: Colleen Jordan, Pietro Calendino, Paul McDonell, Nick Volkow, Dan Johnston, Sav Dhaliwal and Anne Kang. Coun. Richard Chang will not seek re-election. In his place on the council slate will be current BCA school trustee James Wang. For school board, BCA incumbents seeking re-election are Baljinder Narang, Ron Burton, Harman Pandher, Gary Wong, Larry Hayes and Meiling Chia. Taking Wang’s place is Burnaby parks commissioner Katrina Chen. The final list of candidates nominated by the city’s deadline was not available by the NewsLeader’s press time.
Burnaby recognizes Women in Sport Mario Bartel

Burnaby gave the world one of its finest female soccer players in Christine Sinclair. Now the city is the first municipality in Canada to proclaim 2015 the “Year of Women in Sport” in honour of the upcoming Women’s World Cup of Soccer. Mayor Derek Corrigan read the proclamation at Monday’s council meeting. And he made particular mention of Sinclair’s role as a leader in her sport. “Our city is very proud of the achievements of its amateur and professional Burnaby athletes,” said Corrigan. “I am particularly proud… as we honour the many great female athletes who have lived, trained and played in Burnaby and those who will follow their inspiring lead.” Corrigan noted Canada’s national women’s soccer team is based at the Fortius Centre near Burnaby Lake. In 2002 the city also hosted a number of

matches in the U-19 Women’s World Championship when Canada finished second to the United States. Sinclair was the top goal scorer in that tournament. Linda Diano, the founder of The Power in Sport, a group that supports sport as a means to inspire people and communities, was at the council chambers to accept the proclamation. “The leadership of government in raising awareness bodes well for future declarations across Canada,” said Diano, a former soccer player herself.
Burnaby’s declaration was praised by visitors to The Power in Sport website. “Any time women and sport can be recognized brings the level of confidence for every girl wanting to take part in sport up another notch,” said Trish Fougner of Victoria. “It acknowledges women as powerful and vital and a contribution to sport and beyond,” said Gillian Maxwell of Vancouver. “It is an excellent opportunity to raise the level of awareness around many aspects of empowerment, inclusivity and teamwork for not only women of all ages but for men,” said Joanne Mulhall of North Vancouver. Diano said she’s hopeful other government bodies, individuals, organizations and corporations will follow Burnaby’s lead. The organization is also planning a series of games that last 20 minutes and 15 seconds around the country next year.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Paying attention
LAST WEEK:
The candidates in November’s municipal elections have filed their nomination paperwork. The races for the mayor’s job, seats on city council and the school board are officially on. Although some candidates have already been campaigning for weeks, if not months as they gauged the public mood for change, sought indications of support before jumping into the fray. The coming weeks will be punctuated by knocks on your door from candidates seeking your vote, flyers stuffing your mailbox, signs on lawns, allcandidates meetings in school gyms and community centres. But how many voters will be paying attention? How many voters will actually exercise their franchise on Nov. 15? In 2011, only 23.29 per cent of registered voters in Burnaby cast ballots. That was down slightly from the previous municipal election, in 2008. In New Westminster less than a quarter of registered voters went to the polls to elect their last city government. Weeding through the myriad of candidates vying for positions at City Hall and the school board can be daunting. Knowing who stands for what, and what they plan to accomplish can challenge even the best-designed flowchart. But it’s the candidates who emerge victorious on Nov. 15 who will have the most direct impact on our daily lives. They’ll determine how much we pay in property taxes, how much we’ll pay to park on city streets, when our garbage will be collected, what new developments will be approved. They’ll make the call on school policies and facilities. So it’s in every voter’s interest to pay attention for the next four weeks. And set aside a few minutes on Nov. 15 to make their marks on a ballot.
Should city councils stay out of issues, such as pipelines, which are not under their immediate jurisdiction?

Time for truth in B.C. treaty talks VICTORIA – Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.” Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa. They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now. All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere. The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries. Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years
7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com
for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out. This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago. Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.” That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province. It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures.

COMMENT
Better hearing brings a better life
We can tackle homelessness I am writing on behalf of the Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness to identify an important issue in the upcoming municipal election. Homelessness is becoming an increasing concern for Burnaby citizens. Poverty is the leading cause of homelessness affecting seniors, men, women, youth and children. The 2011 City of Burnaby Social Sustainability Report states that poverty is a serious issue confronting almost 20 per cent of Burnaby households with incomes below $20,000 in 2005. Rising costs of rent, the significant reduction of affordable rental stock and the .02 per cent rental market vacancy create many barriers to finding safe and affordable housing in Burnaby. Many homeless Burnaby people are the working poor striving to lead productive lives without adequate income. Many are forced to move elsewhere to obtain housing. Senior levels of government have the mandated
responsibility for housing. The municipal government has an important role in approving suitable property and working with the senior levels of government to secure housing for vulnerable citizens.

Government should do more A Speech from the Throne is a long-standing parliamentary tradition whereby the government of the day lays out an agenda for the legislative session at hand. In B.C., however, this timehonoured practice has become
a rather empty and meaningless affair. There was only one legislative matter identified by the recent throne speech for this session: the development of a LNG industry. Indeed, most of the 18-minute speech was given over to matters related to this industry. Very little was said about people. By comparison, the Ontario Liberal government reconvened that province’s legislature this past July with a throne speech that dealt with a wide range of issues: public consultation, healthcare, pensions, education, transit and transportation, climate change, taxation, poverty reduction and so on. It acknowledged the need to grow the economy, but emphasized the imperative of creating a more equitable Ontario society, Why can’t we have a Throne Speech like that? Hell, why can’t we have a government like that? Bill Brassington Burnaby

Central Park signage lacking: resident New sign to be included in statue project: city Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Does Central Park need more signage telling people what it is? One Burnaby resident thinks so. Joyce Anderson recently wrote to Burnaby council expressing that concern in light of the statue of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen being planned for the park. It will be located at the main entrance for pedestrians and cyclists entering Central Park from Metrotown, on the west side of Patterson Avenue serving as the terminus to the planned Beresford Art Walk.

Burnaby dancer off to worlds Team Canada fundraising gala Nov. 29 at Massey Theatre Burnaby teen Caroline Kiddie will represent Canada at the International Dance Organization World Championships in Poland from Dec. 7 to 14. Kiddie won a spot on Team Canada West for the second consecutive year after an extensive audition process. She’ll be performing in ballet and modern dance categories in the competition, along with about 40 of Canada’s best dancers. The event is the “Olympics of dance” where the best dancers from more than 90 countries compete for a spot on the podium. Kiddie is a Grade 10 French immersion student at Moscrop secondary. She attends dance classes in ballet, contemporary, lyrical and jazz and the half-day preprofessional training program at Douglas Ballet Academy in Burnaby. Her goal is to one day become a professional dancer. As dance is not recognized as a sport in Canada and does not receive government funding or sponsorship, Team Canada dancers must each raise about $3,600 for the trip and their costumes. Kiddie’s fundraising efforts have included selling Team Canada pins, planning a dance-a-thon, applying for arts scholarships and seeking

Metro recycling hits 60% New disposal bans coming despite waste flow uncertainty Metro Vancouver’s recycling rate climbed to 60 per cent in 2013, up from 58 per cent a year earlier, but it remains well short of a 70 per cent target the regional district is committed to reaching next year. The improvement last year came almost entirely from a four per cent increase in the single family residential recycling rate, which Metro officials attribute to the move to mandatory organic food waste pickup for those homes and a decrease in the frequency of garbage pickup to just biweekly in Surrey and Vancouver. “We’ve achieved a lot but there’s still a long way to go,”
CAN
Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said. Improved recycling of at least 70 per cent is a key assumption Metro has made in estimating it must build a new waste-to-energy plant capable of handling 370,000 tonnes per year of garbage that the region would no longer truck to the Cache Creek landfill. A higher aspirational target of 80 per cent diversion by 2020 would reduce but not eliminate the need for a potential second incinerator. Recycling diversion rates for multi-family residential and industrial/commercial were virtually unchanged, at 28 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively. Officials hope those categories improve next year.
A broadened ban on the dumping of organics – which make up a big slice of the waste stream – takes effect Jan. 1, extending mandatory food waste pickup to major business generators such as restaurants, grocers and other food handlers. A ban on the disposal of clean wood is also going ahead, which would target the demolition and construction sector, where there’s already a high recycling rate of 76 per cent. Henderson said there may also be modest gains as a result of some additional types of containers now being collected curbside by Multi Material BC, which launched in the spring. As with other disposal bans imposed by Metro, the new ones will be policed by inspectors at transfer stations.

Two years ago, legal protections for local lakes and waterways were stripped away by the federal government. Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart wants them back. On Tuesday, the New Democrat introduced a bill in Parliament to do just that. The Protecting Burnaby Lakes and Rivers Act would return Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake and the Brunette River to the list of protected waterways in Canada. In 2012, the Conservative government’s omnibus budget bill, which included many items that were not specifically budget-related, changed the country’s environmental laws, according to a press release from Stewart’s office. Included in the sweeping
changes was removal of why I am putting forward decades-old protections for legislation today to re-protect all waterways in the Navigable Burnaby’s waterways for my Waters Protection Act with the constituents.” exception of 97 lakes and 62 Work by streamkeepers on rivers. the Brunette River “has Stewart aims to reverse been a stellar example of that move for the three our community coming Burnaby locations. together to preserve our “At the demand of oil cherished waterways,” and gas lobbyists, the said Stewart. “We need stewart Conservatives recently to make sure that our removed protections for 98 per lakes and rivers are protected cent of Canada’s water bodies so future generations can enjoy so that proposed development them as well.” projects–including some Stewart said due to the pipelines–would no longer need Conservatives’ majority in environmental assessments government, it is unlikely to or public consultation before proceed to a vote in the House proceeding across our lakes of Commons. and rivers,” Stewart said in It’s a “symbolic gesture” and his speech to the House of a bill he hopes to re-introduce Commons. “We need to reverse in Parliament after the next this reckless gutting of our election, expected in October environmental laws, and that’s 2015.

Oil’s dive slow to bring gas price relief The deep dive in crude oil prices in recent weeks has so far been slow to trickle down into lower gasoline prices. But one petroleum industry expert predicts more relief from pain at the pumps is coming soon for Lower Mainland motorists. “You guys are on the verge of a pretty sizable drop in the retail price there,” said Jason Parent, the Ontario-based vicepresident of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates. He said the current average price of $1.30 per litre of regular gas in Metro Vancouver as of Friday – down from a midsummer plateau of around $1.42 – should continue to drop to $1.25 or lower.
Crude oil prices have fallen about 15 per cent from their July levels but the drop for retail gas has been barely eight per cent. “We’ve seen some of that passed on at the pump but not quite all of it yet,” Parent said. Crude oil makes up only about half of the cost of a litre of gas, but he said the sharp decline, plus the typical seasonal drop in gas prices as summer driving season ends, should translate into more savings for drivers. “If you’ve got a sustained downward movement in crude prices – as we have – you will see that passed on for the most part, eventually.” TransLink’s diesel bus fuel
costs may also drop with lower crude oil prices. Spokesperson Cheryl Ziola said it’s also possible lower gas prices will encourage more driving and result in TransLink collecting more fuel tax from the 17 cents a litre it levies, at least over the short term. But cheaper gas can also cut into transit ridership if more passengers take their cars instead. And Ziola cautioned trends of better fuel efficiency, slower growth in vehicle ownership and people driving less are forecast to continue to push down TransLink’s fuel tax revenue over the longer term. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Local teachers honoured in Ottawa Three Burnaby preschool teachers were recently honoured by Prime Minister Stephen Harper for their work. Cristina Primerano, Julie Kamiya and Marina Giovinazzo, all from Brentwood Preschool in Burnaby, received the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Early Childhood Education. They each received the national-level honour, the certificate of excellence, which comes with $5,000 to be shared equally with the preschool. The awards recognize “outstanding and innovative early childhood educators who excel at fostering the early development and socialization
of the children in their care.” The trio’s “natural sense of wonder and genuine curiosity about the world around them is shared with their community of 72 young learners,” said the citation for the award. The online citation included the words of one parent from the preschool: “They are so skillful and sensitive, much like gardeners tending to individual plants in their garden. They provide what the children need to grow; but like experienced gardeners would, they allow the children to develop at their own pace.” Meanwhile, Burnaby South secondary math teacher Amos Lee is among 35 educators
across Canada honoured with a Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence. Lee won a regional-level award, the certificate of achievement, which comes with a $1,000 cash prize. The citation for the award notes that Lee’s “goal is to make math a fun learning experience instead of a burden. He counters the question of ‘When are we ever going to use this?’ by showing the link between math and real world applications such as business and sales optimization and the use of infinite geometric series in cellphone chip development.” newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Luci Baja, Charmaine Calbick, Kathy Anderson, Lindy and Jim McQueen prepare to help clean up Edmonds at the neighbourhood’s annual community clean-up on Saturday, Oct. 4.
Metro Vancouver Transit Police are seeking the public’s help in solving a series of break-ins to SkyTrain ticket vending machines. In August, there were five such incidents at SkyTrain stations—Metrotown (twice), Lake City Way, Patterson and 29th Avenue—with cash boxes removed in some cases. Each time either two or three men were involved and all wore dark clothing, bandanas tied across their faces, and hats or hoods to conceal their identity. Crowbars and screwdrivers were used to break in to the machines. A white Jeep Cherokee was used in one incident, and was later recovered as a stolen vehicle. In the last incident, on Aug. 27, one of the culprits left his pants at the scene after he caught them on some wire as he fled. There have been no further incidents since then. While the stations are alarmed and under video surveillance, the suspects work quickly and have just managed to avoid capture on several occasions, Transit Police say. A total of about $2,000 has been stolen and about $7,000 in damage done to the machines during the five incidents. Transit Police are asking for help in identifying the suspects. “We believe that someone may have been bragging about this or telling the story about losing their pants,” they said in a release. Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300, text 87 77 77 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers.

Metro politicians peer into recycling abyss Defeat on Bylaw 280 may bring higher property taxes Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver property taxes might have to go up if the province won’t approve the regional district’s controversial ban on trucking garbage to unauthorized landfills outside the region. That scenario was raised at Metro’s waste committee Thursday
by directors who said it’s time to consider a backup plan if Victoria won’t endorse Bylaw 280, which was passed nearly a year ago but still awaits the environment minister’s okay. The regulation would stop commercial waste haulers from trucking Metro-area garbage first to Abbotsford and then sending it to U.S. landfills, skirting disposal bans here and avoiding Metro
tipping fees. Metro’s lost tipping fees are estimated at $11 million this year alone and officials predict haulers who avoid paying them will use their cost advantage to win more commercial hauling business, resulting in even more garbage flowing east in the years ahead. North Vancouver District Coun. Roger Bassam said Metro might have to shift much of the cost of its waste management
system directly onto property taxes “so we can drive the tipping fees down to the point where there is no economic incentive to leave the region and win the battle that way.” Solid waste manager Paul Henderson said the region is starting to look at its options if Bylaw 280 is rejected. He said shifting away from the user-funded garbage disposal system would bring disadvantages.
Metro currently charges $108 per tonne to dispose of garbage but much less for recyclables, creating a powerful incentive to separate them. That tipping fee will rise $1 next year but officials say they can go no further due to competition from out of region. If tipping fees were slashed to compete with eastbound haulers, Henderson said, there would be less incentive to recycle. He noted Ontario’s commercial waste haulers aren’t bound by the same rules as residents and as a result the commercial sector’s recycling rate there is 13 per cent, compared to 39 per cent in Metro. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said
defeat on Bylaw 280 would likely force Metro to revert to a landfilling strategy and abandon its plans to build a potential second incinerator to capture more energy from waste. “There is a Plan B but it’s so unpleasant and it reverses everything we are doing,” he said. “We stop the aggressive recycling we do and we accept the alternative is landfilling.” Corrigan said it would mean abandoning the user-pay principle in favour of taxpayers subsidizing the worst waste offenders who refuse to recycle. “We will lose our reputation as a world leader in this area,” he predicted, adding numerous green
recycling businesses that have sprung up will fail if the recyclables they process end up in dumps instead. Opponents of Bylaw 280 contend Metro’s motive is to keep garbage penned up inside the region to feed a new incinerator. “We find it outrageous that Metro Vancouver wants to use the taxpayers as hostages basically and threaten the province that property taxes have to go up,” said Lori Bryan, executive director of the Waste Management Association of B.C. “They’re forcing the taxpayers and businesses to pay for their inefficiencies and to pay for the incinerator that nobody wants.”

Use of electric car charging stations doubles 1,300 electric vehicles now on road in B.C. Jeff Nagel Black Press
More drivers are plugging into B.C.’s public electric vehicle charging stations, according to new statistics. BC Hydro subsidiary Powertech Labs says the usage of 350 charging stations it tracks has more than doubled in the last year. It recorded 3,745 charging sessions in August, up from 1,684 in the same month a year earlier. The data doesn’t cover all stations – another 200 locations aren’t tracked by Powertech. “From the individual station data so far,
the busiest stations appear to be in high-traffic hubs, Jim Vanderwal, FBC especially in urban The busiest stations appear and suburban malls to be in high-traffic hubs especially... malls. and downtown shopping areas, including those in next few years as the smaller towns,” said EV (electric vehicle) Jim Vanderwal, senior market expands.” program manager The Fraser Basin at the Fraser Basin Council and Powertech Council (FBC).

While it’s difficult to predict the growth of electric vehicles in B.C., Vanderwal says B.C.’s position today is similar to Oregon’s in 2012, which has since seen a tripling of electric vehicles
on the road thanks to a combination of charger availability, vehicle incentives and consumer interest. Vanderwal added the growing choice of places to charge up in B.C. is helping increase the comfort level of prospective buyers of electric vehicles. This summer also saw electric car maker Tesla open its first supercharger station in B.C. at a shopping centre in Squamish. twitter.com/jeffnagel

Penalty points added for distracted driving Tom Fletcher Black Press
Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points Wednesday, making it
the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system. Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and could increase them, but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a
first offence of distracted distracted driving tickets driving. in a year add up to at least “I think a $1,000 $634. fine is rather high,” At nine points, Anton said. the Superintendent Penalty points of Motor Vehicles remain on a driving considers licence record for five years, suspension. and result in a $175 Anton said anTon increase in insurance there were 51,000 as soon as they exceed three tickets issued last year for points. distracted driving of all Fines and points for two kinds.
“Ticket volumes show us that more drivers are ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” Anton said. Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009
to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impairment. Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver who is noticeably distracted or inattentive and increasing risk to others. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
