TRUSTEES TALK CASH, CRIME AND COMMUNICATION ▶ SURREY CIVIC CANDIDATES DEBATE THE TOP ISSUES IN THE DISTRICT SHEILA REYNOLDS

Improving communication with parents, securing capital funding and crime’s link to education dominated the debate during an all-candidates meeting for Surrey school trustee hopefuls Wednesday night.

About 100 residents showed up at the District Education Centre to hear from those running in the upcoming civic election for a spot at the Surrey Board of Education table.

Twenty of the 23 candidates attended the meeting. Bal Sabharwal, Gary Tymoschuk and Terry Allen were absent due to previous commitments.

The first question put to potential trustees was how they’d better communicate with parents.

Several candidates, including Sukhy Dhillon, Sara Sharma and Patricia Enair said the board needs to be more accessible and use tools like email, websites and social media to engage busy parents. Forrest Smith, who is deaf and spoke through an interpreter, referred to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s website as a good example of wide open governance.

Rayman Bhuller disagrees, however, saying not all parents, especially those with limited incomes, have the technology to be online all the time.

“Real incidents and real problems – they don’t just exist in the web world,” he said, adding trustees need to be on the street, talking face to face with the public.

Other candidates said trustees simply need to listen. ▶ “Parents want to “Parents want to know they’re going to be know they’re going heard,” said David Matta, “and they want to know the people they elect are going to listen to to be heard and them.”

Rina Diaz said there needs to be consultation they want to know with Parent Advisory Councils or School Planthe people they ning Councils – something the current board neglects to do, she claimed. elect are going to.

When it came to ideas for securing sufficient listen to them.” capital money from Victoria to build Surrey schools, opinions varied.

Voters ready to shake up city halls: Poll

▼ TRANSPORATION, CRIME AND HOUSING ARE THE TOP ELECTION ISSUES ACROSS THE LOWER MAINLAND JEFF NAGEL

Most Lower Mainland voters want the Nov. 15 civic elections to result in at least some change at their city hall, according to a new poll by Insights West.

Thirty-one per cent of those surveyed in the region said it’s time for a significant change on council and appetite for change was highest in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows at 53 per cent and Vancouver at 36 per cent, followed by Surrey and Richmond, both at 34 per cent.

A further 35 per cent across the region want a minor change (42 per cent in the Tri Cities, 39 per cent on the North Shore and 37 per cent in Abbotsford).

But most mayors running for re-election can take solace in generally strong approval ratings from the online survey of 2,138 residents.

Outgoing Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts scored best, with a 74 per cent approval rating, while 69 per cent of Tri Cities residents generally

approve of their mayors, followed by 67 per cent for Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

New Westminster, Delta and White Rock mayors also had 67 per cent approval and Abbotsford for Mayor Bruce Banman had 65 per cent.

The worst mayoral ratings were in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows, with 39 per cent approval to 46 per cent disapproval, and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson at 52 per cent approval to 41 per cent disapproval.

“Transportation is a key area of concern in 11 municipalities, but not in Vancouver and Surrey, where housing and crime definitely dominate the agenda,” Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said.

He said the concept of a tax on absentee property owners as one way to combat high housing prices has caught the imagination of voters in Vancouver.

Surrey group’s anti-gay stance ‘hateful’ ▼ TRUSTEE CANDIDATE STUNNED THAT B.C. PARENTS AND TEACHERS FOR LIFE WANTS SCHOOL POLICY QUASHED SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Surrey school trustee candidate is firing back at a South Surrey-based group that wants the Surrey Board of Education to quash its anti-homophobia policy.

B.C. Parents and Teachers for Life (BCPTL), a self-described pro-life, pro-family organization, delivered a position paper and hundreds of signatures opposing the regulation earlier this month.

Among other things, the BCPTL’s paper says the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity portion of the Safe and Caring Schools policy passed in 2013 “opened up the schools to wide-ranging indoctrination,” by

Nicole Joliet

mandating teachers and counsellors be trained “to be instruments of propaganda on behalf of homosexualist activism.”

Nicole Joliet, who’s running in the Nov. 15 election, was outraged upon hearing about the crusade against the anti-homophobia policy.

“This is downright horrible and hateful,” she said. “Their statements make it sound like the protections our children

need somehow constitute vile brainwashing propaganda.”

She said she was taunted daily in high school and there were no LGBTQ-friendly spaces or services at her school, or any policies that specifically addressed homo- and transphobic harassment. (LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning). Joliet said the bullying affected her studies and left her with lingering anxiety and depression. continued on page 5

▶ SIX MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD TO BE ELECTED NOV. 15 from page 1

Nicole Joliet said government has stripped millions from school funding over the years and then “sneakily” makes trustees make the cuts and submit balanced budgets.

“You know what I’d do?” she said. “I’d submit a deficit budget.”

Balraj Atwal suggested the district get advice from a financial advisor Incumbent Trustee Laurie Larsen said she

Bob Holmes noted Surrey is forced to spend $4 million annually on portables due to a shortage of classroom space and gets no extra compensation from the province.

“The last I heard, the government told boards not to submit capital budgets because there’s just no money,” he said.

repeatedly invited Education Minister Peter Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark – to no avail – to spend a day in a Surrey classroom to see firsthand that space is needed.

Trustees were then asked about the correlation between education and crime.

“It’s not about bringing more police to the streets,” said Harman Singh, “it’s about bring-

ing more education to the system.”

“It’s a lot easier to education our kids now than try to fix them later,” said Jonathan Silveira.

Julie Tapley said it comes down to having the proper funding to offer kids programs that make them feel valued.

“When they don’t have that, the system fails,” she said.

Kirsty Peterson agreed, saying if schools don’t have programs and places where kids can fit in, they’ll turn to people and places outside school for a sense of belonging.

A question about the new BC Education Plan – a provincial move to alter various aspects of education system – elicited few responses from candidates.

“There’s great change coming to our children’s education system,” said Enair, referring to proposals altering report cards and graduation requirements. “Our parents need to know what these changes are and they need to know how it’s going to affect their children.”

Niovi Patsicakis, a retired Learning Support Teacher, said she

feared some changes might negatively impact students with special needs, and that the government’s drive for skills training could curtail academic focus.

When asked how to handle the increased demand for choice programs, incumbent Trustee Shawn Wilson said the board is proud of the programs (such as Montessori, French immersion and fine arts) that are offered. But he said their popularity can often cause the board a real conundrum.

“When you put a choice program in a school, that sometimes means there’s not enough space for neighbourhood children,” he said.

Garry Thind suggested decisions on where to place choice programs be based on the unique demographics, such a language, in specific neighbourhoods.

In closing comments, incumbent Trustee Charlene Dobie pointed out she was the only current trustee who voted against board members receiving a raise this year, and has donated her $600 per year increase back to commu-

nity school programs.

Sikandar Hayat said if elected, he’d donate at least 20 per cent of his honorarium.

The two-hour all-candidates meeting was hosted by the Surrey District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) and moderated by the group’s president, Linda Stromberg.

Surrey residents will have the opportunity to vote for six members of the Surrey Board of Education on Nov. 15.

The seventh member is elected in White Rock, where incumbent Laurae McNally has been acclaimed.

Surrey Mounties are on the hunt for someone who struck and injured two pedestrians in Newton.

At about 9 p.m. Sunday, a 19-yearold man and a woman, 20, were crossing at 72 Avenue and 130 Street, when a northbound vehicle struck them as it turned east on 72 Avenue. The driver did not stop.

The two pedestrians were taken to the hospital and are being treated for non-life threatening lower body injuries including several fractures.

â–ź SCHOOL POLICY OPPOSED from page 3

“To hear people claiming that a policy against this harassment is ‘homosexualist propaganda,’ as though they have some sort of right to bully and harass students for being LGB or trans because our existence is part of some political debate, as if our suffering is not at all real, makes me sick to my stomach,� Joliet said.

The BCPTL criticized not only the lack of “facts about the consequences of homosexual behaviour included in school materials designed by pro-homosexuality activists,� but claims Surrey school trustees did not provide parents the opportunity to voice their concerns. “BC Parents and Teachers for Life wants

the board to consider the viewpoints of parents who hold traditional views of sexual morality and do not wish their teachings undermined in the schools,� stated an Oct. 16 news release.

In fact, it was 2012 when the board struck a committee of teachers, parents, students and district staff, which spent months forming guidelines aimed at supporting “students, staff and community members of all sexual orientations or gender identities.�

A year later, in June 2013, an anti-homophobia policy was unanimously approved by the board.

Regardless, Ted Hewlett, past president of BCPTL, wants his group’s concerns addressed as soon as possible. The school

Voters were also asked if developers and lobbyists have too much local influence in their municipality. Sixty-eight per cent of respondents agreed across the region and concern was highest on the North Shore at 79 per cent as well as Richmond and Langley at 75 per cent.

The survey also found 50 per cent of respondents believe their municipality does a bad job of handling transportation as well as homelessness and pov-

erty, while most gave their municipality good marks on protecting the environment and providing good sanitation services.

The areas with the highest overall rating by residents on a scale of 1 to 10 were Tri-Cities (6.8), Burnaby (also 6.8), Delta, New Westminster and White Rock (6.6) and Abbotsford (also 6.6), followed by Surrey (6.5), the North Shore (6.4), Richmond (6.3), Vancouver (5.9), Langley City and Langley Township (5.7) and Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows (5.5).

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tu e s d ay O c to b e r 2 8 2 0 1 4

Troubling sentence for risky offender While it is encouraging that provincial court Judge Michael Hicks recognized that Andrew Aurie Jefferson is a “substantial risk” to re-offend, it is discouraging that this man will be out on the streets of Surrey, Langley and other Lower Mainland cities in the next two years or so.

Jefferson, 29, carjacked a vehicle driven by a woman in Langley City in June 2013. He was caught by police almost immediately and has been in custody ever since.

This young man is a ticking time bomb, as his record over the past 10 years makes crystal clear.

In 2006, when he was 22, he committed his most heinous crimes. He terrorized a Calgary neighbourhood called Falconridge, violently raping two women and attempting to rape

a third. Jefferson was dubbed the “Falconridge rapist.”

He served six-and-a-half years in jail before being released on probation in 2011 to live in Surrey, with a public warning that he was an “untreated sex offender.”

In 2012, he was charged with sexually assaulting a teen in Surrey, but was found not guilty earlier this year.

In court in August, Jefferson apologized for his crimes and vowed he was turning his life around, having steered clear of drugs of late and completed a violence prevention program.

It would be nice to believe him. It isn’t certain that the judge did. He designated Jefferson a long-term offender, which means he will be under

RAESIDE

strict supervision for 10 years after he leaves jail.

Unfortunately, as became obvious with the case of Raymond Caissie, there is no assurance that such offenders who are released to live in the community actually receive strict supervision. Caissie’s case is similar to Jefferson’s.

He served his full sentence and officials stated he was a high risk to re-offend when he was released.

He went on to be arrested for the murder of Serena Vermeersch last month. While he remains innocent until proven guilty, it is more than obvious that he was not being properly supervised after his release.

Will this be deja vu all over again?

Difficult birth for LNG cash cow BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre.

Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia.

The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles.

The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really

accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake.

China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas.

Oil prices have dropped.

The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market.

“Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed.

“But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.”

So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding.

You may recall it was a U.S. hurri-

cane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics.

The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant.

There are 18 currently proposed.

This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas.

The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year.

Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate.

“If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post.

If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut.

The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

Tricks for treats

A letter writer offers some suggestions for having a happy Halloween.

FILE

Boo! Halloween is almost once more upon us. I have a few tricks to help get the most treats.

Turn house lights off if you will not be home. Drive slowly – our most precious resource will be taking over the streets. If you need be out, consider hiring a teen to give candy out at your door. Buy healthier treats and give less. There are so many chemicals in some “treats.”

There are many low-income people (like me) who would love to give candy out but cannot afford it. There are 150 kids where I live. If you cannot be home to give candy out, consider giving a low-income neighbor a few bags to hand out.

Above all, have a safe and fun Halloween.

▼ THERE SHOULD BE GIVE AND TAKE OVER CLAYTON PARKING Around Aug. 30 of this year, my wife and I moved to a basement suite in Clayton Heights. While moving in, it was necessary to jockey my wife’s car from the driveway to the street in order to get my truck into position to unload some of our belongings.

The switching of vehicles may have taken a maximum of three minutes, in which time the parking authority put a ticket on my truck while I was returning the keys to my wife’s car to her.

At the time I explained to the officer that we were in the middle of moving in and her response was that it is too bad and as the sign says, there is no parking where my truck was.

I went to city hall to plead my case and was told that I had to fill out an appeal form.

In talking to the supervisor I mentioned that we had a five-ton truck coming with the rest of our belongings and said this truck would not fit in the driveway and that it would be parked on the street, to which she replied, “then it too will be ticketed.”

The area that we have moved into has legal basement suites and yet there are no-parking signs everywhere. As we are both handicapped there is no way that we can park our vehicles a couple of blocks away and carry our belongings that far.

My appeal was denied and it is now my intention of going to court over this as I feel there has to be a little give and take in some regulations.

Last month I was admitted to Surrey Memorial Hospital

for a week after my surgery.

Ignoring the ever-louder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand harbours and used his majority national government to run rough-shod over the will of the people.

In 1984 Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s promise. New Zealand is a small peaceful country in the South Pacific but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military.

New Zealand took a beating economically but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War super-power nuclear alliances.

To this day New Zealand proudly remains nuclear-free and an example to the world.

The strategy may have been less successful in B.C. but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried.

▶ SIX-GAME WIN STREAK ENDS FOR MAJOR MIDGET TEAM

Hawks drop a pair to Giants RICK KUPCHUK

The Vancouver Giants did to the Valley West Hawks what they’ve been doing to all BC Major Midget League opposition this season – handing them a pair of losses.

The Hawks, riding a six-game win streak, lost to the Giants 6-5 Saturday morning at the Langley Events Centre and 5-2 Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Valley West fell into fourth place in the elite league for 15-17 year-olds with a 6-4-0 (won-lost-tied) record, while the Giants climbed into first place at a perfect 10-0-0.

“At the end of the day the results you saw were very much the product of an older experienced lineup finding a way to win early in the season over a team with a younger make up,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung.

“Ultimately the Giants capitalized on more of our mistakes than we did on theirs.”

Valley West was three minutes

away from becoming the first MML team to take a point from the Giants. In Saturday’s game, Vancouver broke a 5-5 tie late in the game after the Hawks had rallied from two goals down to pull even.

Christian Bosa of Langley with his second goal of the game and Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Jeffrey Stewart tallied early in the third period to erase a 5-3 Giants lead.

Semiahmoo’s Logan Webber and James Malm of Langley also scored for the Hawks. Malm also had a pair of assists.

“We had a good push back,” said Leung. “The game was slipping away from us but we battled back hard and closed the two-goal deficit we entered the period with.”

The Giants had an easier time Sunday morning after taking a 1-0 lead late in the first period. They were up 2-0 when White Rock’s Matt Barberis got the Hawks on the scoreboard.

And Vancouver led 4-1 before Justin De Vos of Surrey netted his first-ev-

Valley West played without leading goal-scorer and team captain Luke Gingras of Langley for the two weekend games, as he was called up by the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League on Friday night. He was in the Blades lineup Saturday evening in Saskatoon, a 6-1 loss to the

Portland Winterhawks.

Gingras is expected back next weekend when Valley West will face-off twice against the 4-4-2 Fraser Valley Thunderbirds. The two rivals play Saturday morning at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre, and again Sunday evening at the Langley Events Centre.

KPU teams place fourth at provincials ▶ PACWEST SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SQUAMISH RICK KUPCHUK

A bronze medal at the PACWEST soccer championships eluded Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) twice last weekend in Squamish.

The KPU Eagles women’s team fell 2-1 on penalties Saturday evening to the Douglas College Royals, then the men were upset 2-0 by the Quest Kermodes Sunday morning. The results left both Kwantlen teams in fourth place at the provincial tournament, a positive

result that fell just short of the podium.

“I think they’ve shown PACWEST (Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference) that we mean business,” said KPU women’s head coach Julie King, “This season was about ‘Can we learn to work together and can we play with heart?’ We achieved that. Team progression, we’ve done well. We’ve seen people step up, seen ladies become better footballers on the field.”

King was one of two members of the women’s team honored with PACWEST postseason awards. She was named Coach of the Year, while defender Jessica Anderegg of Surrey was named to the all-star team.

KPU began the tournament Friday night with a 1-0 loss in extra time to the first-place Vancouver Island Mariners. Panorama Ridge Secondary graduate Gurneet Josan was the Eagles Player of the Match.

In the bronze medal game Saturday, KPU trailed 1-0 until Megan Talaber of North Delta scored with less than 10 minutes remaining. The Royals prevailed 4-3 in the shootout, and Talaber collected Player of the Match honours.

The Eagles men’s team, which finished third in league play, also went to extra time in their semifinal match Saturday morning, but lost 2-0 to Douglas. Seaquam Secondary graduate

Jacob Starheim was Player of the Match for KPU. Kwantlen was blanked again Sunday, with Justin Turner-Pearce of the Eagles named Player of the Match.

“Big progress was made from last season.

We built on what we started in terms of building the culture we want around the team and putting focus on creating a cohesive and hard-working unit,” said head coach Srdjan Djekanovic. “We are rewriting the script on what KPU-style soccer should be.”

Two members of the Eagles, forward Starheim defender Nawaf Binsaleh, were named to the men’s all-star team.

SURREY IN FOCUS: YOUTH

Skilled trades are the top job prospects for youth ▶ PLANNING IS KEY FOR CAREER SUCCESS NICOLLE HODGES

As Surrey’s population continues to grow, there are plenty of resources to ensure young people achieve their career goals.

Cheryl Scardifield, a program manager at WorkBC Employment Services Centre, says jobs in skilled trades are in demand and can provide a stable future with good earnings – without having to spend a lot on education.

“Apprenticeships are available for many

skilled trades,” she says, “and why not earn while you learn?”

Scardifield says the key is to identify individual interests, aptitudes, skills and strengths, which will form a basis for a plan and a meaningful career.

Developing that plan, however, needs to come from gathering enough information to make an informed decision about what path to take. While there is a wealth of knowledge available online, it may be difficult to determine the next step.

Scardifield suggests youth access their local WorkBC Employment Services Centre, which offers free services and opportunities to participate in career planning and employment training programs.

Cheryl Scardifield, a program manager at WorkBC Employment Services Centre, says apprenticeships are a way to earn while you learn. EVAN SEAL

First comes research, then comes developing a plan, but there can be other roadblocks that youth face.

“Uninformed aspirations” is a big one, says Scardifield. “Youth are often unprepared for the ‘world of work’ once they leave high school and a number of youths lack specific job skills necessary to seek and maintain employment.”

According to Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey (2013) the unemployment rate for 15- to 24-year-olds is 13.9 per cent.

There is the competition to consider, a lack of education or training, and certifications specific to an occupation. Lack of work experience also presents further challenges for youth.

“From our experience, it is often difficult for youth seeking employment due to their lack of awareness and direction,” Scardifield says. “But with the right information and guidance, in addition to personal commitment, this transition can result in employment success.”

▶ THE CITY OF SURREY ACTIVELY SEEKS INPUT FROM YOUTH from page 11

Adding to the strains of the Surrey School District are high demands on teachers.

Forty-four per cent of students attending Surrey schools are from households where English is not a first language, and more than 15,000 students are provided with English as a Second Language services.

The school district is working to find funding and personnel to address that need.

One of the biggest challenges the city is facing is the fact almost one in four children in Surrey under the age of six live in poverty.

With an eye to addressing youth issues, in 2010, Surrey created a Child and Youth Friendly Strategy.

The strategy identifies the need to create youth-friendly decision making, urban environments and civic services.

The document calls for efforts to make sure youth voices are heard, notes that urban environments have to meet the phys-

ical needs of children, and civic services should address all the needs of children and youth.

“On the planning side, we need to collaborate closely with the school district to ensure they have proper information that will help them prepare their capital plans,” said Surrey’s General Manager of Planning and Development Jean LaMontagne.

“Recently, we have included youth in the Neighbourhood Concept Planning process in order to ensure good input from youth.”

Laurie Cavan, general manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture, said youth have a major influence on parks planning.

“Supporting children and youth is embedded in a number of plans adopted by council including the Parks, Recreation and Culture 10 year Strategic Plan, the Child and Youth Friendly Plan and the Plan for Social Well Being,” Cavan said.

All of these challenges and opportunities are expected to have a significant effect on the leaders of tomorrow.

“We engage our students in developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to build a healthy, democratic and diverse society.”

– Surrey Board of Education Mission Statement.

All Star Youth Sport was founded in 2001

by Hall of Famer, BC Lion running back, Cory Philpot.

It is Cory’s own history that is the driving force behind AllStar Youth Sport.

When Cory was young, his single mother was not able to afford the registration fees to join and participate in sports. It was due to the kindness and generosity of a local family in his neighbourhood that granted him the opportunity.

Had it not been for this sponsorship, Cory would not be in the position today to give back and offer other youths the same chance. Through the numerous years of volunteering in various associations and societies, such as the Vancouver Trojans, North Delta Football, and BC Football Commission, Cory has been much need for financial support by families in BC, so that children can be a part of a team sport. AllStar Youth Sport is how Cory plans to accomplish this goal.

SURREY IN FOCUS: YOUTH

Helping keep kids healthy – in body and mind ▶ EXPERTS ADVISE PARENTS TO GET CHILDREN ACTIVE EARLY SO THEY DEVELOP GOOD HABITS THAT LAST A LIFETIME NICOLLE HODGES

With more technology-based activities, growing teens are often more interested in playing FIFA World Cup on their console, rather than going outside and playing for themselves.

A recent report published by Active Healthy Kids Canada states that those aged between 12-17 spend an average of 9.3 hours a day completely inactive.

But where do Surrey youth stack up in terms of physical fitness, nutritional awareness and mental health?

Fitness manager at the Tong Louie Family YMCA, Brendon Osborn, says staying active is an important skill, as it helps kids and youth believe in themselves and their abilities.

The YMCA’s Youth Leadership Development Course touches on both mental and physical well-being by helping youth build self-esteem and friendships with others – while learning how to become a leader and use workout equipment.

Osborn says that based on membership, he hasn’t seen any drastic decline in terms of youth participation in activities. In fact, he believes that B.C. has done a great job over the last few years providing health and wellness resources online. Healthyfamiliesbc.ca, for example, offers a comprehensive nutritional guide and meal-planning strategy for parents to help raise their children into healthy teenagers.

But the tricky part remains transitioning that information from online into daily routines.

“The City of Surrey needs to continue providing safe and healthy spaces for families to come together,” says Osborn.

“At the ‘Y,’ we are committed to providing those opportunities through after-school programs, sports leagues and swimming lessons – all included in the membership so

Brendon Osborn, fitness manager at the Tong Louie Family YMCA, says physical activity helps youth believe in their abilities.. EVAN SEAL money doesn’t have to be a hindrance.”

The Surrey RCMP have also become involved in efforts to keep youth on track, using both physical activity and relationship building. In collaboration with the Surrey School District, the RCMP’s Youth Section launched “Code Blue,” an after-school fitness program that engages students in physical

activity that resembles police officer training.

Most importantly is that youth are receptive to the idea.

Cpl. Nicole Noonan, part of the Surrey RCMP Youth Section, says that numbers jumped from 40 participants in 2013 to 200 in 2014, helping to expand Code Blue to seven schools.

She notes that besides the obvious physical benefits, exercise is also a stress reliever.

“It clears your thoughts, so you just have to find one activity that you like, and move,” she says. “Parents: Get your kids active, make it a lifestyle young and they will keep that habit forever.”

In addition to keeping kids physically healthy, parents should be aware of their mental health as well.

Mental illness is quite common in children and youth – with approximately one in seven children and youth in B.C. (14 per cent) experiencing a mental illness at some point.

Tasleem Juma, senior consultant of public affairs at Fraser Health, says there are a number of mental health resources available for youth, including Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) programs in all communities, in-patient beds, an Adolescent Day Treatment Program, Child and Youth Crisis Programs across Fraser Health and mindcheck.ca – a teen and young adult-focused website.

Juma says as a community, it is important to begin removing the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and as a parent or individual, it can begin by being informed.

By the numbers: • 62 per cent of Canadian parents say their kids aged five to 17 are always driven to and from school (by car, bus or transit).

• Only 24 per cent of males in B.C. and 11 per cent of females exercise every day, while seven per cent of males and 10 per cent of females do not exercise at all.

• 70 per cent of mental health problems begin during childhood or adolescence.

SURREY IN FOCUS: YOUTH

Connecting with troubled youth

Often RCMP members are in plain clothes when working with youth to break down any barriers the uniform may bring.

Members of WRAP give youth outdoor experiences they may have never had to help them see life beyond gangs and drugs – sending them to wilderness ranches for the summer and taking them kayaking, mountain biking, wake boarding… anything to break the cycle of negative influences in their lives.

“We had one boy, who at 16 years old was selling crack cocaine at a local drug house. We knew he was a great basketball player so we scraped some money together and took him to a basketball camp in the States,” says Rai. “We had to get permission from his probation officer, it was a big deal, but now he is an owner-operator of his own truck.

“For us it’s all about building the strengths and reducing the deficiencies. When you meet these kids five years later and they come up to you and tell you how they are doing and how much fun they had on that camping trip years earlier, that makes it all worthwhile.”

▶ SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND RCMP OFFICERS REACH OUT TO STEER YOUNG PEOPLE AWAY FROM DANGEROUS LIFESTYLE CHOICES EVAN SEAL

Imagine you are 20 years old, you didn’t graduate high school and you have a criminal record. The chances of finding a decent-paying job are slim. What are your life options?

This is the scenario Rob Rai, Surrey School District Safe Schools manager, and Surrey RCMP Cpl. Nicole Noonan – along with a handful of RCMP members – are trying to steer kids away from.

Through a partnership with Surrey schools and the Surrey RCMP, members of the WRAP program have a mandate to keep youth away from drugs and gangs and keep them focused on staying in school and making healthy life choices.

The 50-70 kids currently in the program are referred through a variety of ways, including RCMP, school principal, the probation office and provincial ministry of families.

“These kids come from across the spectrum,” says Rai. “Your first impression is that these kids come from broken homes where mom is on drugs and dad is in prison, but I disagree.

That is not the case.

“One of the first kids we dealt with many years ago lived in a 14-bedroom house, he was a high-level soccer player and he wanted to be gang-affiliated,” he says. “They come from all walks of life and all cultures.”

When Noonan first got involved with the program, she soon realized that troubled young people come from every neighbourhood district – from wealthy supportive families to

“You’ll hear ‘you’re pretty cool for a cop’,” says Noonan of her role, “only because they have been conditioned to think that police are out to get them. But once they realize the police are trying to help them and are good people… it’s all about role modelling.”

What WRAP aims to do is build relationships with youth and provide positive examples so they feel someone cares about them. But they are also made accountable for their actions.

Many kids see the drugs-and-gang lifestyle as a way to get ahead in life, but unfortunately they don’t see the long-term consequences, says Rai. “We really need to connect with these kids,” he says. “We can have all the scientific data and outcomes for them and tell them that if they do A, B and C that all will be great, but many aren’t going to listen to that.”

SURREY IN FOCUS: YOUTH

Youth make choices based on how they travel ▶ CITY LOOKS TO EASE TRANSPORTATION TROUBLES WITH WALKING AND CYCLING PATHS NICOLLE HODGES

Inadequate transportation is a challenge for many people in Surrey, leaving residents with few options over how to get around and stay productive.

Although the car remains the dominant mode of transportation, a large portion of Surrey’s population under the age of 19 cannot afford to drive. The issue is particularly pressing for youth who don’t live close to a transit line – let alone one that runs frequently – limiting their flexibility when it comes to participating in sports, extra-curricular programs and work experience.

Lead advocate for Better Surrey Rapid Transit, Daryl Dela Cruz, believes that fact should be recognized as a serious imbalance in investment, when youth in Surrey do not have the same flexibility to do what youth in every other place can do.

“Good transportation is what allows youth to expand their horizons and explore what’s going on beyond their local neighbourhood,” says Dela Cruz.

More frequently, young people are

choosing to cluster together where they live and work to ease travel costs.

In response, Surrey’s engineering department has released a new walking plan, building on the 2008 Transportation Strategic Plan that set out a vision to make walking a more viable and significant choice of transportation. One of the main goals of the strategy is to make walking the first choice for residents who live in the city’s town centres.

Some of the actions outlined in the walking plan include: increasing the budget of the annual sidewalk program, developing shared streets, and installing street furniture.

Frank Hurt Secondary student Providence Carsolo likes to base his hobbies and activities on walking distance.

“I usually get rides from my parents or brother to the places I want to go, but when they aren’t around, I like to walk,” he says. “Even if it’s a longer distance, I like it because it gives me time to think and gives me exercise.”

In 2012, the City of Surrey adopted a new cycling plan, which outlines a vision for bicycles as a safe and convenient mode of transportation.

YACOS has also brought an array of personal benefits to Rai. She says it’s not only helped build her character, but given her the courage to speak in front of crowds and better express her opinions.

“I have also gained more confidence, leadership, knowledge on the arts, the ability to give constructive criticism to others and how to successfully event plan.”

“If you think about it, art is everywhere,” says Amrit Rai. “From the design of a building to the layout of a flower bed you may walk past, to graffiti done on a fence, to applying make-up to your face, writing in a diary and even taking a selfie.”

Rai is the chairperson of the Youth Arts Council of Surrey (YACOS) and knows first-hand the value of young people being involved in their community.

“It not only helps you become more aware of what’s happening in your own city but it allows you to broaden your horizons for volunteering and opens your eyes to the many other opportunities available,” says Rai. “You just have to find somewhere to begin - and for me that was YACOS.” Now 17, Rai found out about the organization from an elementary school teacher whose daughter was an active member. She began attending meetings in mid-2010 when she was in Grade 7 and became an official member as soon as she turned 13 (the minimum required age). She’s been highly involved since.

Rai, who’s in Grade 12 at Enver Creek Secondary, has always been passionate about dancing, having studied ballet for 10 years, as well as taking jazz,

lyrical, hip hop, character and bhangra dance classes. She’s also been singing since she was a child and is currently part of her school’s Vocal Jazz group, taking to the stage with solos and performing in school talent shows.

She says while adults may be more familiar with traditional art forms, new materials, technologies and social media open youth to even more unique and creative avenues to express themselves and improve the city.

“It all starts with interest, passion curiosity and taking initiative – that’s all it takes for youth to become more involved. Sharing your passions can create beautiful things within Surrey to be shared with more than just yourself.

It truly does make a difference.”

YACOS organizes a wide variety of events annually, the most popular being Surrey Shines, an annual talent show for young people that usually takes place early in the year. Auditions for next year’s show are scheduled for December.

Other events include open mic nights, art and photography exhibitions and fashion shows.

The group’s one-act play competition, WriteOn, is on Nov. 29, where two aspiring playwrights will win $250 and the chance to have their plays brought to stage.

SURREY IN FOCUS: YOUTH

Helping others feels good, says group of teens ▶ FOUR SURREY STUDENTS FORM YOUTH TRANSFORMING SOCIETY HUMANITARIAN GROUP SHEILA REYNOLDS

It was a devastating earthquake four years ago that shook a group of Surrey students into action.

The January 2010

7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti killed between 200,000300,000 people and injured another 300,000, destroying thousands of homes and displacing more than a million

residents.

Four friends – Amanbir Atwal, Amneet Athwal, Kiran Mann and Livleen Pannu – decided to have a bottle drive to raise funds for victims of the natural disaster.

They were in Grade 9 and managed to collect $1,000 to help those in Haiti.

That lit a spark. The quartet formed the

group Youth Transforming Society and haven’t looked back.

Now the group boasts about 85 volunteers and has raised nearly $7,000 for various organizations, including Oxfam, BC Children’s Hospital and the Canadian Red Cross.

“We never initially had this vision of making it this big, but that’s

Livleen Pannu, Kiran Mann, Amneet Athwal and Amanbir Atwal co-founded Youth Transforming Society four years ago. The society has now grown to 85 volunteers. NISHEE PATEL what it’s grown to and now we’re loving doing it,” said Atwal, 18, who along with the other founders, is now in second-year university.

“Because the first event was so successful, it gave us the motivation to keep going and make things bigger and better.”

Last week, YTS held a free event in Surrey in hopes of passing

other young people the charitable bug. Called Volunteering and Beyond, the evening at Panorama Ridge Secondary welcomed about 50 organizations which shared their volunteer opportunities with mostly-high school-aged attendees.

YTS is now looking forward to its second-annual holiday

breakfast on Dec. 20 at Surrey Community Church (134 Street and 96 Avenue). Last year, 300 people in need were served hearty breakfasts.
