Air quality guidelines for sulphur dioxide pollution levels in the Lower Mainland may be too high to adequately protect human health, says a Metro Vancouver report.

The long-awaited upgrades to Metrotown SkyTrain Station will get underway in the next few months, but that’s when its lone elevator will close—for about a year. For people needing elevator access, TransLink will operate a shuttle bus between Metrotown and Patterson stations, the latter being the next closest station with a lift. Metrotown-area resident Craig Langston, who has cerebral palsy and uses a motorized wheelchair, expressed concern over how the change could lengthen people’s transit trips. He questioned how frequently the shuttles will run and how many wheelchairs they’ll be able to accommodate, noting most shuttle vehicles can only hold about two wheelchairs. “If it’s 15 to 20 minutes [waits], that could be hard on people, especially with the temperatures we’ve been having this past week, for example,” said Langston, 47, a former president of the Cerebral Palsy Association of B.C. see reNOVATeD, A3

For people with circulation issues, like himself, spending too much time outside in the cold can mean it takes hours to warm up legs and feet again. Langston estimated it can take up to five minutes to secure one manual wheelchair into a shuttle, which would also carry seniors with mobility issues. For those in motorized chairs, they could probably get to the mall from Patterson Station in that same period of time. However, power wheelchairs don’t work well in snow. “If they’re starting this in January, right in the middle of winter, what’s going to happen when we do have a dump of snow?” TRANSLINK The view from Metropolis, facing south across Central Boulevard.

“We are concerned about sulphur dioxide levels around Chevron,” said Ray Robb, Metro’s environmental regulation and enforcement division manager. The maximum ambient air quality level for a pollutant like sulphur dioxide isn’t directly enforceable, nor does Metro issue tickets to ships when levels around Burrard Inlet get too high. But excessive emissions traced to a specific regulated point source can prompt Metro to give the emitter a pollution abatement order to force it to clean up to get back in compliance with its permit, Robb said. If existing emissions are often near or over the objective in a neighbourhood where a new industry is proposed, he said, that will guide permitting decisions, potentially prompting Metro to insist on much tighter emission controls as part of approving any new source. Metro officials say the new lower target is achievable. An ongoing international shift to low-sulphur marine fuel has

been reducing the shipping sector’s emissions, which are by next year expected to be down 95 per cent from 2005 levels. But while individual ships are getting cleaner, the overall number of them coming here is expected to climb as Port Metro Vancouver aims to increase trade through the region. Kinder Morgan’s proposed second oil pipeline would also see it load 400 oil tankers a year, up from around 60 now. “That’s one of our major concerns with the project – whether we can meet these standards if additional tanker traffic comes in,” said Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, chair of Metro’s environment committee. The new Metro standard would be an interim one at least until possible new national or provincial regulations take effect. A Health Canada review has found a strong link between shortterm sulphur dioxide exposure and adverse respiratory health effects, but it’s unclear when tighter Canadian regulations might be unveiled and adopted. twitter.com/jeffnagel

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Kent Hurl took this shot from Brentwood Station. ‘There was a beautiful light,’ he says, ‘which really made me notice the vertical lines and differing heights of Burnaby’s growing skyline. Then I glanced down and found the many rows of parked cars with their own various line directions. It was all about the lines and the light and I wanted to capture that.’

Making connection Metro Vancouver mayors are meeting to craft their final request to the provincial government for new taxes to fund their ambitious plan to improve transit. That plan includes a new Pattullo Bridge, a subway out to UBC along the Broadway corridor, and light rail in Surrey. The projects will cost $7.5 billion. The money could come from a vehicle levy, a regional sales tax, regional carbon tax, or some sort of combination of those. But Premier Christy Clark has said none of those taxes will be implemented until voters give their blessing in a transit referendum to be held next spring. Maybe. The date for the referendum hasn’t been determined yet. Nor has the question voters will be asked been crafted. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan says the referendum is doomed. He says the transportation plan is too ambitious, too expensive and will end up dividing the region as each community fights for its share of the transit pie. The long and winding tale of Metro Vancouver’s transit referendum is as arduous and convoluted as trying to decipher how to get from West Vancouver to Fort Langley by bus. Many promises have been made, conceptual drawings released and breathless prose written about future transit projects, as mythical they may be. But there’s been little attention paid to getting the public on board. Motorists are tired of paying some of the highest gas prices in the country, a chunk of that to fund transit. But they’re also worn out from fighting traffic jams or waiting for overcrowded buses. Getting voters to connect those dots has to be a priority. The rest will fall into place. Maybe.

Short honeymoon for the newly elected There will be an extremely short honeymoon period for newly elected mayors and councillors. The unhappiness with elected officials will come when hard-hit taxpayers find out just how much more of their money mayors want to go towards TransLink, to expand transit services over the next 10 years. While most people favour improvements to transit, they want someone else to pay for them. There won’t be any happiness if a car tax is proposed. Nor will there be a lot of cheering for a higher provincial sales tax, or other new taxes to fund an ambitious transit plan that mayors unveiled last spring. The Mayors Council has until Dec. 11 to come up with the question for a TransLink referendum, which will be held in the spring. It will certainly involve new taxes, because current TransLink revenue is far short of paying for any of the improvements the mayors are calling for. A car tax was part of the plan to pay for TransLink when it

Frank Bucholtz was first set up in 1998. When the TransLink board, which at that time was made up of elected officials, tried to proceed with it, it was met with howls of outrage from taxpayers. Many of them lived in areas like Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge, where transit service was minimal when compared to that in the core urban area of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster. It didn’t help that the province had recently imposed the Millennium Line on TransLink, which was paying part of the capital cost of that new line which primarily benefited Burnaby. The Millennium Line was neatly designed to travel through NDP-held ridings in New Westminster, Burnaby and East Vancouver, and its approval shoved aside plans for other lines,

such as the line to Richmond (the Canada Line, now built) and the Evergreen Line, which is now being built. The car tax became such a political football that no one wanted to touch it. The NDP government, facing a provincial election, wouldn’t approve it — even though it had granted TransLink the power to impose it. The BC Liberals, smelling power, also decried it. TransLink has thus received most of its additional money since then by raising property taxes, boosting the gas tax to 17 cents a litre and jacking bus fares, among the most expensive in North America. It can’t expand services without new sources of revenue. But reliance on the car tax is problematic, as many areas of Metro Vancouver are badly underserviced by transit, particularly south of the Fraser, and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows. Many suburban drivers ask why they should pay a tax on cars they must own to get around. Meanwhile, Vancouver residents can easily do without cars.

A boost to the provincial sales tax is fairer, and regional road tolling, which apparently requires years of study to implement, would also bring a much-needed element of fairness to the equation. Mayors were hoping for provincial carbon tax revenue, but that request was quickly denied by Transportation Minister Todd Stone. Indeed, the revenue from that tax is used to reduce other taxes such as income tax, so giving some of it to TransLink would mean boosting income taxes. New Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has said LRT will go ahead in her city whether or not the referendum is approved. She’s suggesting it could be funded through a P3 approach, with at least some of the construction paid for over the years through fares. It’s an ambitious promise, but there is no doubt that Surrey needs far more transit than it has today. Whether that will lead residents there to approve new taxes in a referendum is an open question.

COMMENT

More to worry about than shopping Re: Editorial on Canadians shopping in the U.S. (NewsLeader, Nov. 26) You seem worried about the Christmas shoppers spending a few dollars in the U.S. I find that funny. Canada was once a free country but we have sold it all to foreign countries for a pittance, and outsourced most of our work. About 95 per cent of our products are purchased from China. We sold our oil and gas to foreign countries, and we want to build pipelines to give our resources away. We gave away our container ports. Who owns our railroads? Who owns most of our real estate? Canadians will sell out to anyone for a dollar! We have no pride. The list could go on forever—and you worry about spending a little shopping money in the U.S. Floyd Friend Burnaby

UNBELIEVABLE GALL So Mayor Corrigan wants Kinder Morgan to pay for the extra policing costs during the protests on Burnaby Mountain. The police were present on Burnaby Mountain to do their job. It was the protesters causing the trouble. It is the protesters who should pay for the extra policing costs. The protesters were there largely at the instigation of Mayor Corrigan. The gall being shown by the City of Burnaby on this issue is absolutely unbelievable. Gordon Foy Burnaby

GOOD DEAL, BUT FOR WHOM? Kinder Morgan argues that the federal taxes it pays from its Trans Mountain pipeline operation goes toward supporting public services. It’s a generalization that

doesn’t tell the whole story. Business taxes, of course, do help pay for public services. All taxes do. But those taxes are also used by government to financially support corporate investments in various sectors, including the energy industry, in the form of write-offs, rebates, and other subsidization. Noted economist Robyn Allan recently pointed out that Trans Mountain has only contributed an annual average of $1.5 million in federal and provincial taxes over the past five years. In fact, she found the company actually realized a rather hefty tax refund for two of those years: $3.5 million (2009) and $4.2 million (2013). When it comes to the question of taxes and public services, its pretty clear that Kinder Morgan is getting a much better deal than the Canadian public. Bill Brassington Burnaby

Return-It School recycling program opens up a world of possibilities

Last year, over 3 million beverage containers were recycled through the Return-It School program

ith the end of 2014 just around the corner, Encorp Pacific (Canada) is reminding schools in British Columbia that there is still time to enroll in the Return-It School program. T he Ret ur n-It School recycling program started in 2000 and provides schools with the tools and support to implement or improve beverage container recycling programs. It is offered free to any registered elementary, middle or high school in British Columbia. As Joanne Drew from Windsor Secondary in North Vancouver explains, the ReturnIt School program is about more than just recycling beverage containers.

Her school has been involved for the past nine years. With the program, special needs students learn valuable life skills by participating in various community activities. “Our students learn practical life skills like learning how to communicate and fundraise by holding community bottle drives and handing out flyers. We use the extra resources to provide fun and interactive experiences for them so they learn to do everyday tasks. We take these everyday activities for granted but for these students, they are important lessons that impact their future.” The staff at Yale Secondary in Abbotsford couldn’t agree

more. Resource teacher Jim Heinrichs points out that all the deposit refunds go back into their special needs program. This gives them additional resources and freedom to provide more enrichment activities. “Not only do our students benefit by learning useful work and life skills, they also get to participate in more recreational outings like going to a farm, interacting with neighbours and also giving back to the community through charities. They experience rewards that go beyond just collecting bottles. It enables them to enjoy a sense of freedom.” Da na Wa i nw r ig ht, a parent and volunteer at David

Liv i ng stone Element a r y, emphasizes that it’s all about enriching the lives of students. “Whether it’s helping the school by making sure that every child goes on fieldtrips or purchasing technology and equipment that students need or even bringing in presenters and authors to speak at the school, at the end of the day, it’s the kids who benefit.” Organized annually by Encorp Pacific (Canada), a notfor-profit product stewardship corporation, the Return-It School program encourages students, teachers and parents to recycle and collect beverage containers.

Kellen Ray stars in Mile Past Everston, a short film by Burnaby South secondary students which won several awards at the Mulgrave ZOOM Film Festival.

South students win awards at film festival Wanda Chow

It’s hard enough for high school students to produce their own professional-looking short films. Try doing it all from start to finish in 48 hours. A team from Burnaby South secondary did just that, garnering several awards in the process at the 13th annual Mulgrave ZOOM Film Festival which is open to B.C. students in grades 7 to 12. Nils Kimmel and Winston Bohl, both 17-year-old Grade 12 students, co-directed the film, Mile Past Everston. Their team included Kellen Ray, the lead actor, Eric McDonald, and South alumnus Zac Leowen, who played a supporting acting role. Teams had 48 hours to conceive, shoot and produce their six-minute films. They were given the required theme (“when one door closes, another opens”) and prop (a postcard) at the very start of the competition, at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24. “The hardest part about making the video is probably coming up with an idea,” said Kimmel, a South student who also attends the ACE-IT filmmaking program at Burnaby North. Shooting took place from Saturday morning to early Sunday, with half of the editing taking place before all the video footage was shot. “We just barely

made it to the deadline by 5 p.m. Sunday.” The final product is a simple story that reminds people to “stop and smell the roses,” or in this case, slow down and take a nature walk. It was beautifully shot in Deep Cove and the nearby forest. “It was raining really hard, it was pouring out there, it made shooting difficult,” Kimmel recalled. “It doesn’t really show up on camera too much.” The entries were judged by B.C. film industry professionals and the awards were presented last weekend. The Burnaby South

team’s film won first place awards for best cinematography and best technical film. It also won second place for best overall film, and third place for best male actor (Kellen Ray). Their efforts won one full scholarship for Vancouver Film School for a year, valued at about $26,000. Kimmel said it will likely be used by Bohl or McDonald. While Kimmel also plans on pursing a career in filmmaking, he plans to attend Capilano University. Kimmel said he was first exposed to the contest when his older

brother helped produce a film, The Dream, that won first place in 2008. Since then, he’s participated himself every year, with his team winning second place in the junior category when he was in Grade 9. “I think we did probably our best movie this year,” Kimmel said. “We did our best movie last so that’s a plus. We ended on a good note.” Watch Mile Past Everston at the group’s YouTube channel, “Doctopie.” Other ZOOMfest winners can be viewed at www. zoomfest.com.

Honda HR-V

The 2015 model year vehicles are rolling into dealerships, with just a few stragglers set for later arrival in the New Year. This week, the Driveway team takes a look at what’s new, in print and online at drivewaycanada.ca, starting with our chief test driver Zack Spencer.

Jeep Renegade Mazda M azd d MX-5

Honda HR-V

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

Mazda MX-5 2015 Jeep Renegade Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing There is no question that the merger of Fiat and vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. one car that will signify the culmination of all the things The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). 500 and its variations has been a plus The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe model and all eyes are on Mazda to see on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller what it can deliver. The bodywork is more Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass dramatic and having seen it in person, and Patriot models. Powered by either the dimensions look fanatic but the new a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder front grille might take a while to adapt too. The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep a wider body and longer wheelbase but claims that this compact crossover is the overall length is 105mm shorter and still a capable vehicle because of two by Zack Spencer 20mm lower. available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems. The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power The standard models will be available with front-wheelthis lightweight car and power will go to the rear drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine automatic transmission. output has not been announced, neither has the price, Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is marbut expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep model on price. styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, Ford Explorer including the award winning Uconnect infotainment The sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon. available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment. Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

Question of the Week Alexandra Straub writes this week about the unusual new colours featured on cars at the LA Auto Show. Do you favour one colour when you buy a car. If so, what and why?

When the curtain rises Dec. 10 on Byrne Creek secondary’s Christmas production of Oliver!, the 35 students on stage and behind the scenes should know exactly how many bums are in the seats and how much revenue the show has generated. That’s because the musical’s production manager Damon Jang isn’t just coaching the kids on how to hit their marks or memorize their lines. He’s also teaching them the business of running a show. Jang, a Burnaby Central grad, is using his own post-secondary education in performing arts and extensive experience in professional and community theatre to pull back the curtain on every aspect of staging a production. That includes everything from budgeting, publicity and fundraising to ticket sales. This is Jang’s second production as a sort of “artist-in-residence” with Byrne Creek’s theatre department. Stakes are high, as the musical is to be a highlight of the school’s 10th anniversary celebrations, and previous productions had run the available budget into the red. “I looked at it as an opportunity to make the show sustainable,” said Jang. “We can use the model of community theatre to show how to do it in the school.” He challenged the kids to brainstorm creative solutions to the show’s business challenges as well as dip into their own skill sets to keep costs down. A Halloween sale and rental of

old costumes from previous school shows raised almost half the money needed for Oliver’s costume budget. Some students pounded the pavement for community partners like Save-On-Foods where a hot chocolate sale raised money and awareness about the upcoming show. Some students learned the fine art of writing and sending press releases to generate free publicity. Another with a keen interest in photography stepped up to shoot production stills. Others used social media to hit a different demographic audience. “(The kids) become more actively interested in the production as a whole,” said Jang. “They want to be successful, they want to be a part of a show that sells out.” The skills they learn will also serve them well beyond their school years, said Jang. “They’re learning to be resourceful.” And the work they do to ensure the Christmas production is a financial—as well as creative— success will leave a legacy for Byrne Creek’s future theatrical endeavours. Jang said the theatre department’s red ink is gone and school administrators will have a hard time turning down future requests for funding when they’re presented with reams of data and spreadsheets. “Showing them we’ve taken the initiative is never bad,” said Jang. Byrne Creek’s production of Oliver! runs Wednesday, Dec. 10 through Saturday, Dec. 13, with performances at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for staff and $8 for students. They can be reserved by calling 604-664-8299.

Welcome to the NewsLeader’s Christmas Favourites feature! It’s time to start easing into the Christmas holiday season, a time to gather with friends, family, co-workers—and sometimes all three at the same time. The holiday season is when many of us brighten up the dark days of winter with music, colourful lights and decorations. And this time of year is also a time when great memories are created. Many of those memories often those involve the aroma and flavours of Christmas cooking. Whether you’re looking for something simple to take to an office function or something more involved for a home event, you’ll find some great ideas in these pages. Every year, I love to try something new to add to my holiday season cooking. Many local businesses submitted their favourite recipes and I’ll be sure to try a few out. (Someone has to do the testing!) Thank you all for taking the time to share them with us. You’ll find some great ideas in these pages for treats and main courses for your holiday fare. On a final note, as you start putting those Christmas lists together, I encourage you to strive to find those perfect gifts through a local retailer. Let’s support our community by making sure we all think local first when we’re out there shopping.

WINTER WONDERLAND

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird. Here to stay is a new bird. He sings a love song, as we go along, Walking in a Winter Wonderland. In a meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. He’ll say “Are you married?” We’ll say “No man!” But you can do the job when you’re in town. Later on, we’ll conspire, As we dream by the fire. To face unafraid, the plans that we made, Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

You better watch out, you better not cry, Better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is comin’ to town. He’s making a list and checking it twice, Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice, Santa Claus is comin’ to town He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake, He knows when you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake. Oh! You better watch out, You better not cry, Better not pout, I’m telling you why; Santa Claus is comin’ to town.

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again, With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev’ry store; But the prettiest sight to see, is the holly that will be, On your own front door.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Soon the bells will start; And the thing that will make them ring, Is the carol that you sing, Right within your heart.

A pair of hop along boots and a pistol that shoots, Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk, and go for a walk, Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And mom and dad can hardly wait, for school to start again.

SILVER BELLS City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style, In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas, Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you hear: Chorus: Silver Bells, Silver Bells, It’s Christmas time in the city, Ting-O-Ling, Hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas Day. Strings of street lights, even stop lights Blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene And above all the bustle you hear. Chorus

Roomy parkhomes in Clayton, Surrey’s most sought-after neighbourhood It is no secret that the Fraser Valley is one of the most beautiful places in B.C. – with it’s sprawling green landscapes and wide-expanse of mountain ranges. Not only is The Grove built by award-winning Townline Homes in the desirable Clayton Heights neighborhood, but its optimal use of green space keeps the grass beneath

your feet and the mountains out your window. The Grove uses a unique ‘tworinged’ site design, meaning that almost every home faces green space; those on the outer ring will back onto a park or greenway, and homes on the inner ring will face a beautifully forested grove. The Grove’s natural setting is located amongst city greenbelts,

offering a wide variety of outdoor experiences right at your doorstep. “From walking your dog throughout the many trails, to playing with your little ones at the large outdoor playground, to bird watching at the two surrounding ponds, The Grove will awaken anyone’s love for the outdoors,” says Sales Manager, Elise Sangster. “The Grove’s proximity to

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

wonderful parks, ponds, trail systems and onsite amenities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, floor hockey and fully stocked gyms, really offers an all-around appeal to any type of buyer.” Some homes are even situated on a gentle slope so residents will enjoy views of the Fraser Valley and Mount Baker. It’s that prime location combined with intelligent design that makes the 141 roomy parkhomes in Surrey’s most sought-after neighborhood a point of envy now and into the future. “The Grove is inhabited by young couples and young families which internally creates a vibrant vibe

within a community you immediately want to call home,” says Sangster. “The Grove has a selected amount of homes currently completed but with a wide variety of homes that will be move in ready come this January 2015.” When you say yes to The Grove, you are saying yes to the best of the Fraser Valley right at your doorstep. The Grove’s Sales Centre and Display Homes are located at #1-19433 68 Ave, Surrey and are open every day except Friday’s from 12-5pm. The site will be closed as of December 22nd 2014 for the holidays, and will be re-open Saturday, January 3rd 2015.

Livia Homes by Ascentia Properties and the use of Fortis Before delving into what makes Ascentia Properties’ newest development “Livia,” extra special, it’s important to first take a look at the fundamentals. Occupying an exclusive niche on the eastern edge of Richmond’s thriving centre, this collection of luxury family townhomes hold a charm of their own.. As a matter of fact, “delightful” would be the perfect word used to describe them. Their high-end finishing give residents a feel for the high life, while still providing everything that a family looks for in a home - a close-knit community and a comfortable place to call their own. With Livia homes, a little extra space goes a long way, which is why every home has a balcony, courtyard or roof deck, and natural gas hook-up on the ground floor patio. Also, the garages of these units have radiant floor heating with separate thermostat controllers. Once inside, enjoy state-of-the-art full size stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, designer laminate flooring and natural gas radiant floor heating. For peace of mind, all homes come with a fire sprinkler system and National Home Warranty. Now you may have noticed the mention of natural gas, and that brings us back to what makes these homes extra special.

The Ascentia team has developed more than 200 single-family homes and has close to a century of experience to draw from, in both residential and commercial development. With keeping quality and luxury in mind, Ascentia Properties provides innovative concepts to their homes, which is why they have chosen natural gas for their developments. Sales Representative of Multiple Realty Ltd., Michael Bir says this is because it provides a clean, reliable, and affordable fuel source to help integrate the demands of consumers. Livia homes boast many uses of natural gas, such as cooking (gas range), a BBQ hook-up (think – you never have to refill a tank), and radiant in-floor heating that keeps your floor warm and your spaces heated longer. This comfort comes from knowing the homes are equipped with a superior Viessmann high-efficiency boiler system that also provides hot water on demand. But according to Bir, the benefits don’t end there. “Busy young families will appreciate the convenience of natural gas cooking as it is offers faster cooking times, and it gives homes an even warmth and comfort that electric heat can’t match,” he says. “Precise temperature control and zoned heating options make natu-

ral gas an energy efficient choice that’s preferred by homeowners.” Want to sauté, simmer and sizzle like a pro? “In the kitchen, a natural gas range gives infinite temperature settings and instant flame control, while other natural gas appliances enhance your comfortable lifestyle,” he says. “Plus, natural gas versus electric adds to a homes resale value.” How about saving money on your

energy bills? From heating and power, to indoor and outdoor appliances, natural gas will lessen a home’s environmental footprint without compromising style or ambiance. While heating a home or using appliances to heat water can consume an average of 78 per cent of the total energy used in the house, natural gas space heating equipment are up to 98 per cent efficient. However, the benefits of switching

to gas go beyond the cost. During a power outage, your home will stay heated long and you will still be able to cook dinner. Reliable natural gas is always there when you need it, safe, and easy to use, all while saving time and money.
