5 Signs It Might Be Time For a Retirement Community It’s never easy to come to terms with having a parent transition from living at home to moving to a senior’s community. The process requires a lot of adjustments, but is an inevitable part of the aging process.

5 Signs that Independent Living might be right for your loved one are:

With so many different options, it can be daunting to choose the type of living 1. arrangement that best suits your loved one and their unique circumstances.

Struggling with keeping up with household tasks such grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and laundry.

Feeling overwhelmed by home and yard upkeep and maintenance.

A sense of isolation. Feeling inactive and disconnected from friends and the community.

Worries over falls and unexpected injuries. What if something happens and there is no one around to help?

Still passionate about their independence. Want to make their own decisions and come and go as they please.

Choosing a retirement community should not be complicated. At Harmony Court Estate, we begin with working with the family to assess their parents’ needs and wants. It’s a consultative approach, as there are many stages in the aging process.

LOOKING BACK/LOOK AHEAD

BCA accomplished improbable third sweep Voter turnout rises over 6 per cent Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

When the Burnaby Citizens Association swept all civic seats in 2008, it was impressive. In 2011, when the New Democrat-affiliated party repeated the feat, it was the realization of the seemingly improbable. In November, when the BCA did it yet again, a three-peat, it was nothing short of amazing. But judging by the lack of radio coverage of it on election night, one could be forgiven for surmising the party’s dominance of Burnaby civic politics is old news. Post-election, Simon Fraser University political scientist Patrick Smith called it “pretty unprecedented in Canadian terms,” suggesting the result is due to a general satisfaction over how the city is being run. All incumbents re-elected— Mayor Derek Corrigan for his fifth-straight term, councillors Pietro Calendino, Dan Johnston, Anne Kang, Colleen Jordan, Paul McDonell, Sav Dhaliwal and Nick Volkow; On school board, it was trustees Ron Burton, Larry Hayes, Gary Wong, Baljinder Narang, Meiling Chia and Harman Pandher. It wasn’t just well-known incumbents that made the grade, it was anyone representing the BCA—former school trustee James Wang made the leap to city council, while former parks commissioner Katrina Chen filled the spot he vacated on school board. As in past elections, the opposition proved no match

Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan and his wife Kathy were all smiles as they watched early results come in on Nov. 15, as did Couns. Paul McDonell and Dan Johnston (right).

for the BCA’s well-financed and organized campaign machine. Amal Sylva, who claimed to be acting president for Team Burnaby, announced in February that the party— incidentally, the last to elect a non-BCA candidate, with three in 2005—would run a full slate of candidates.

But that never materialized and Sylva was never heard from again. In its place emerged a new party, the Burnaby First Coalition, representing a wide swath of the political spectrum. It included former members of Team, Burnaby Parents Voice (formed in 2011 in opposition to

the school board’s policy to combat homophobia and support LGBTQ students), the support of local Green Party members, and a mayoral candidate, businessman Daren Hancott, who led the fledgling party after leaving a run for the federal Conservative nomination in Burnaby North-Seymour. The result was a party that lacked a consistent identity, apart from the fact it wasn’t the BCA. It even declined to take a position on Kinder Morgan’s highlycontroversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal, a project the BCA council has staunchly opposed. Supporters of Burnaby

First were also alleged to be spreading false rumours among the Mandarin-speaking Chinese immigrant community, that the re-election of a BCA school board would mean students would be injected with a drug to make them homosexual without their parents’ knowledge. The claim, by a woman who was approached by such a supporter at Bonsor Rec Centre, and backed up by BCA candidates Chen and Pandher who were asked about it while door knocking, set off a firestorm of media coverage, as well as denials and counter-accusations of dirty politics by Burnaby First. The other major media coverage of the Burnaby election campaign was of independent mayoral candidate Sylvia Gung, who planned to outlaw public displays of affection, including holding hands and the ceremonial kissing of the bride, if elected. But the BCA’s three-peat? Barely a blip. As for looking ahead, keep an eye out for the BCA to carry out election promises of 12 new childcare centres on school properties, and new civic facilities. Those include a new Brentwood community centre, Edmonds ice rink, Metrotown performing arts centre and a replacement Cameron recreation centre and library, all to be funded by community amenity funds paid by developers in exchange for being allowed bonus density in their projects. With the change away from three-year terms, the BCA council and school board will now have four years before it attempts the almost inconceivable fourth sweep.

Pipeline expansion dominates the headlines Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion proposal made headlines in a big way in 2014, culminating in two weeks of protests in November that dominated the Twittersphere. The project, to almost triple capacity on the Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby to export oil sands crude to overseas markets, has been in the news for the last couple of years. But 2014 was the year when people had a chance to apply to participate as intervenors. The National Energy Board (NEB) accepted 400 while many others were turned down. It was also when Kinder Morgan decided it preferred routing the pipeline in a tunnel through Burnaby Mountain itself, causing the NEB to extend the review process. It was the year when both the company and City of Burnaby waged a legal battle, with the city attempting to stop survey and geotechnical study work in Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area after several trees were felled. And when the NEB granted the company an order preventing Burnaby from interfering, and the courts granted an injunction to keep protesters away from the work site, that’s when protesters actively took to the mountain. About 100 protesters defied the injunction, and were arrested for civil contempt last month, only to have the charges thrown out after the company admitted it inadvertently provided the wrong GPS coordinates for the area that was off-limits. But for Lindsay Meredith, Simon Fraser University marketing professor, the pipeline story was a classic case study in what companies ought not do. Resource companies and businesses who sell to other businesses, have been slow to realize the game has changed now that the Internet and social media have leveled the playing field, Meredith said. “Corporations ignore this stuff at their peril.” In the past, such companies were

The mass Meredith specifically cited First Nations media then draw even more attention to groups and environmentalists as becoming such smaller groups, creating even more “extremely accomplished” at this game. critical mass at the grassroots level and in “Guys like Kinder Morgan are running turn generating even more media coverage. smack into the old glass plate wall and Everyone is trying to influence that silent getting their nose smashed in. And they’re majority that rarely gets the attention in shock, they can’t figure out what the hell that the squeaky wheels do. And once happened.

Political stakeholders then influence Enbridge, and other energy-related government regulatory bodies, and in one companies have been “advertising like scenario, a project can be rejected.

CHOICEquotes

With the next federal election scheduled for 2015, before the NEB is slated to make a decision on the pipeline application, there will continue to be a push to influence public opinion before voters go to the polls. “Kinder Morgan should’ve seen this one coming more and got much more active before the protests ever got off the ground.” Meredith noted if your company has had bad publicity in the past, “it will come back and haunt you.” He believes that’s the case with Kinder Morgan whose pipeline was ruptured by a backhoe in 2007, showering the Westridge neighbourhood in crude oil. The Transportation Safety Board concluded the incident was due to outdated pipeline maps, exacerbated when the company responded to the spill by turning off the flow of oil at the tanker ship it was loading, not at the source. Why the company would choose to involve the same neighbourhood in its expansion plan is a head scratcher, said Meredith. “There are so many signals, hey boys, give your head a shake, you’ve got a problem here. That is what I like to put so delicately—that’s what you get, serves you bloody right when you let a bunch of engineers run things.” Meredith suggested it would have made more sense, at least from a marketing point of view, to route the pipeline down to Delta, through farmers’ fields, “and put a great big nice deep-water offloading oil port and keep those tankers way down there, way out of sight. “Instead, let’s choose the difficult ground. Go over an area in North Burnaby where we already pissed off the locals. Get a whole bunch of freighters coming through a narrow gap and getting [Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, both outspoken opponents of the project] worked up and then start saying, ‘OK, gee I wonder why people kinda hate us?’ “ he said. “Not in my marketing class.”

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Prasanta Bhunya took this photo from his balcony on Hazel Street in Burnaby earlier this month.

Between holidays The last week of the year is kind of an odd duck. It’s not an official holiday, but not a lot of work will get accomplished. The build up to Christmas, and the big day itself, are now behind us. The wrapping paper has been discarded into the Blue Box. The unused bolts stored somewhere in the back of a closet until next year. By which time we’ll likely have forgotten which closet, and have to go out and buy more paper. For many, the next few days will be spent catching our breath, catching up with friends and family. And probably eating too much Christmas baking and chocolate. Others will brave the shopping mall parking lots to scour for post-Christmas bargains, a.k.a Boxing Day. Or hit the multiplex to catch all the holiday release movies. But official organized activities marking the week before the calendar turns to a new year are few and far between. Sure, some local attractions are still putting on their holiday programs. But Christmas light displays and choral performances just don’t have the same magic on Dec. 28. Norwegians have actually given the week between Christmas and New Year a name: Romjula. After all, when it’s dark more than 23 hours of the day, what better way to pass the time than conjure up new words? Not that Romjula festivities vary much from our lack thereof. They visit friends, eat too much, return unwanted gifts. But at least they’re not scratching their heads trying to think what to call this weird in-between time. Maybe we need to come up with a name for this week as well. It could spawn a whole new market for the struggling greeting card industry. Or maybe we just call a spade a spade and give everyone the week off.

Want to see your shot featured as a photo of the week? We’re seeking shots that grab our attention for their creativity, impact, humour, or beauty, taken in New Westminster or Burnaby.

Tax plan fair, but a tough sell Metro Vancouver mayors, with three exceptions, are backing a plan to raise the provincial sales tax to 7.5 per cent in the Metro Vancouver regional district, to pay for expanded transit service. The plan will go to a mail-in referendum in the spring, if the province gives its blessings to the plan, which it will likely do. There are several points to consider about this plan. First, there is a need for better transit service, and replacement of the Pattullo Bridge, which is part of the plan. That is undeniable, even if the population doesn’t grow as fast as Metro mayors claim it will. Second, this is probably the fairest possible tax. A car tax, which was being seriously considered, would have cost $170 per vehicle and would be very unfair to those in areas like Langley, which are poorly-served by transit. Property taxes could have been raised, but the portion going to TransLink is already quite high.

Frank Buchholz A regional carbon tax would also unfairly penalize car owners. Third, the proposal is going to a vote — which is a natural follow-through to the success of the HST referendum in overthrowing that tax. Politicians, starting with Premier Christy Clark, who pushed for this referendum, now realize they have to consult with voters about controversial tax increases. This is all to the good. With all that noted, there remain a number of significant challenges with the planned PST increase. The first is, what will be the effect on the sellers of large-ticket items, like cars, in areas on the fringe of the region such as Langley? Dealers in Abbotsford

won’t be charging the extra .5 per cent. This is clearly a big challenge to some types of businesses, and is patently unfair. The second challenge is, what guarantee is there that the .5 per cent won’t become one per cent in a few years? The referendum question does not say the tax increase will be limited to .5 per cent. Given the constant boost to taxes and fees by politicians, this is a fair question. The third challenge may be the biggest one which those who campaign in favour of the referendum will encounter. TransLink has a history of not managing its resources wisely, and giving the organization extra money could be a recipe for more mismanagement. Here are some examples. Overtime for Transit Police on Sundays. Very high executive compensation. High car allowance for top executives (who apparently don’t use transit). A stalled attempt to install fare gates. Continued

widespread fare evasion. An appointed and unaccountable board. A SkyTrain system that has been prone to several lengthy and poorly-communicated breakdowns this year. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has already started a campaign to have the referendum defeated. Many people are saying they can’t afford to pay any more taxes. In this part of the region, the poor transit service means that few people ever use it, and thus they are disinclined to support any more funds for it. These are all significant obstacles to the referendum passing. The tax increase will get a lot of vocal support, and there will be significant “yes” campaigns. The HST also got plenty of support from the establishment, but that wasn’t enough to save it. Frank Buchholz is editor of the Langley Times

COMMENT ‘I heard different’ Re: Metrotown SkyTrain Station upgrade plans include one year with no elevator When I spoke to TransLink during one of their public info gathering sessions, they advised me that there would not be a closure necessary because they were going to build the new elevators in a separate area from the old one so that the old one could be kept in service during construction. Why am I not surprised that I was lied to! Lori Batchelor —burnabynewsleader.com

TIRED OF TORY EMPTY PROMISES Am I alone in finding the promises of Federal Industry Minister James Moore old hat and hollow? How many times is it already, where he has trotted out promises of more competition equals lower prices for cellphones. Now we have him making the same promises once again, with the sale of the 600MHz, while he made the same empty promise with the sale of the 700MGz last year.

There are no lower prices, and service has not improved, and the only real competition to the “Big 3,” is Wind, and we can’t even get reliable service on Wind in all areas of Metro Vancouver, never mind east of Ottawa without extra charges, as they have no towers, as the fine print states “Where towers are available.” I am sick and tired of empty promises from this Conservative government, and the only thing I am sure of is that they are there, to the man, woman, tirelessly executing an agenda, crafted by their transnational corporate owners. Wayne McQueen Burnaby

THESE DIVISIONS AREN’T GOOD What can BCers say about 2014 when they bid it farewell on Dec. 31? Certainly there isn’t much to celebrate. Quite the opposite. There’s much to regret. An economy that didn’t grow as promised. A budget (in finance minister de Jong’s own words)

that was “boring” but (despite his claim to the contrary) not balanced. A tailings pond disaster that underscored the failure of provincial oversight. Botched negotiations with teachers and one-off bribes to parents. And, of course, the LNG dream that turned into a nightmare. By the beginning of this month the provincial government was desperate to end the year with some good news and its approval of the Site C hydro-electric dam was meant to do just this. However, the fact it entails an expenditure ($8.5 billion and counting) rather than an accrual of funds to the public treasury simply adds to the sense 2014 flatlined. Will 2015 be any different? One can only hope. Bill Brassington Burnaby

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Hot Laps in the Subaru WRX STI with retired WRC Driver Tommi Mäkinen.

Visit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

2014 car year in review It’s hard to believe that 2014 is over. Subaru WRX STI: Where did it go? At a time when we tend MSRP $37,995-$44,995 to reflect on what we’ve done, what we The all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI is can do better and what was awesome, an incredible car within its own right. that brings me to my personal Car Year It has a cult following and has the in Review. street cred to back it up. And just when It takes a special vehicle or experience you think you’re getting the hang of by Alexandra Straub to stick in my memory. Not to say that putting it around the Buttonwillow short-term memory loss is a problem but Raceway in California, you let Tommi with constant streams of information bombarding Mäkinen take you for a spin. Gosh, it’s like he could my brain, it’s not hard to forget where I was and drive ten times faster, smoother and more confidently what I was testing a week ago! in his sleep. Heck, he had one arm on the windowsill Though this is a review of wheels past, because we when he wasn’t shifting or going into a tight corner. often test vehicles well ahead of their full production Moral of the story: the car makes you feel like a hero this also points to what people will be driving in even if you can’t drive like Tommi. And what a cool 2015. experience. Let’s start small because the micro cars might be Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: miniscule in price, but aren’t about to disappoint. MSRP $63,495 (but the new 2015 Challenger SXT Nissan Micra: MSRP Range, $9,998-$15,748 starts at an MSRP of $28,495) For under $10K, this pint-sized vehicle can be yours. The name says it all. Put “Hell” in something and But just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s you’re bound to have a helluva good time, right? cheap. And it’s a blast to drive. Sure, 109 horsepower Especially when you have 707 horsepower at your won’t get you where you need to go in a flash, but disposal. But to say I wasn’t apprehensive to take this that’s not the point of this car. Besides, for basic beast on the track at Portland International Raceway transportation, it has the goods. would be a lie. And the reason is, American muscle cars haven’t always been the pinnacle of exceptional Ford Fiesta 1.0L, $15,999 + $1,500 for the 1.0L option; for an MSRP of $17,499 handling dynamics. Sure, it has a lot of horses, but will it get me through the corner with minimal body roll? Ford’s smallest engine available here in Canada sure Or will the steering have enough feel that I won’t be packs a lot of punch. And considering it only weighs constantly inputting actions? 98 kg when assembled, this 1.0L, 3-cylinder powerIn this case? Hell(cat) yes. I was blown away as to plant is pretty impressive. If you opt for this bitehow well this car drove, not just on the track, but on sized engine, you’ll be getting 123 horsepower and the street, too. Disclaimer: if you need to get anywhere 125 lb-ft of torque (148 lb-ft with the overboost). The quickly, this isn’t the car for you. People will talk your Fiesta was designed and engineered in Europe so it ear off about it if you give them an opportunity. isn’t bad to look at either.

Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC: MSRP $37,200 (AMG version is $50,500) Another vehicle that shone brightly is Mercedes-Benz’s GLA. The luxury compact crossover starts at under $40K but does so many things well. It has a hatchback, great styling and the fuel economy is quite good, too. I wouldn’t even need the AMG version to keep me happy. It’s just a stellar vehicle. MINI Cooper S: MSRP starts at $25,490 Perhaps the biggest disappointment this year comes in the shape of the MINI Cooper S. I’ve loved these cars for so long, but perhaps electronics have ruined it for me. Yes, it’s much more competent and has some great features, but I miss the days of the supercharged version. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a super fun car to drive, but the downshift rev matching in the Cooper S with the manual transmission was not amazing. It was harsh and jerky. I also feel it lost a little bit of personality along its way to adulthood. I’ll forever love them, quirks and all. Honda Fit: MSRP range $14,495-$21,295 The Fit is on my list because I think it is just such a fabulous little car. The Magic Seats really are magic, but the new touchscreen is a huge deterrent. I strongly dislike it. I like buttons. I don’t mind if there are a few to complement the screen but I feel it takes my eyes off the road for too long, even if I’m familiar with the system. Volvo V60 T6: MSRP $51,200-$66,895 Long live the Swedish wagons. They can do very little wrong in my books. They’re just fantastic. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Question of the Week The price of gas has dropped significantly in recent weeks. If you plan to buy a car this year will lower prices at the pump encourage you to buy a larger vehicle? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: January is one of the worst months for crashes in B.C. with approximately 23,200 on average. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

known people understood that the issues around student learning and class size and composition and all of those things were really important,” she said. “That was gratifying in every way and kept us going. All of us had those moments of ‘how long can we do this’ and ‘do people understand how important public education is?’” Eventually, veteran mediator Vince Ready helped swing a six-year deal between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. It includes wage

increases totalling 7.25 per cent, $105 million to cover retroactive grievances which the union can share directly with its members, and $400 million for hiring specialist and classroom teachers over the length of the agreement. Figursky doesn’t think any relationships with the Burnaby school board were broken, noting Burnaby trustees and district administrators at every level were “completely respectful” of the teachers during the dispute.

With the next federal election less than a year away, the races are already shaping up in Burnaby’s three newly configured ridings. This time around Burnaby residents will be voting for three MPs, with two of those ridings shared with other cities— Burnaby North-Seymour, Burnaby South and New Westminster-Burnaby East. Despite much opposition from both sides of Burrard Inlet, the current riding of Burnaby-Douglas will soon be no more. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission decided it would form part of the new riding of Burnaby NorthSeymour, a constituency shared with North Vancouver. Burnaby-New Westminster will also be history after the next election. In its place will be New Westminster-Burnaby East which will include all of the Royal City, and the Edmonds and Cariboo Hill areas of Burnaby. The newest riding will be Burnaby South, made up of the southern third of Burnaby-Douglas and the western twothirds of Burnaby-New Westminster. The election can take place no later than Oct. 19, 2015, according to the Canada Elections Act, although there’s a chance it could happen earlier. Here’s a look at how the candidates are lining up so far.

BURNABY SOUTH After the change in ridings, BurnabyDouglas New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart decided to run in Burnaby South instead after concluding he has stronger ties to Burnaby than to a riding that includes North Vancouver. That makes him as close to an incumbent as the new electoral district can have. In his first term as MP, Stewart has been outspoken in opposing Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal. Currently on leave from his job as a professor with Simon Fraser University’s School of Public Policy, he is serving as the Official Opposition critic for science and technology. Earlier this year, Stewart accomplished the rare feat of getting a private member’s motion passed, calling for a system of online petitioning, by a vote of 142 to 140, after securing the votes of enough MPs from all five parties. Stewart will be campaigning against

Politicians dropping in on Burnaby may become a common sight in Burnaby with a federal election in 2015. Even during 2014 the politicking began with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Industry Minister James Moore, accompanied by school children, toured Burnaby Village Museum in 2014.

Adam Pankratz, who won the Liberal nomination in the riding on Dec. 18. It’s the first foray into politics for the 31-year-old Burnaby Central and SFU grad, who works in commercial banking for Coast Capital Savings. Pankratz believes the election could take place as soon as the spring since that would pre-empt controversial court cases such as that of former Conservative senator Mike Duffy, who faces 31 criminal charges including fraud, breach of trust and bribery. While he’s yet to start a concerted door-knocking campaign, Pankratz believes the main issues in the election will be the environment, the Kinder Morgan pipeline, the need to rebuild the public’s trust with the government. He also believes the government needs to focus again on middle-class Canadians and not legislation that benefits only a small proportion of the population. As for the Conservatives, Mike Calingo is seeking the party’s nomination in the riding. He works as an investment and commercial banker, has attended a 2012 trade mission with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to India, Philippines and Hong Kong, and is a former president of the Philippines Canada Trade Council. He could not be reached for an interview.

NEW WESTMINSTERBURNABY EAST Incumbent Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian will carry the NDP flag for the new riding as he seeks his fourth term after first being elected in 2004. Julian’s constituency office recently assisted its 10,000th family over those

10 years, he said, noting the problems they deal with often involve breakdowns in the government’s systems, including those for unemployment insurance, immigration services and pensions. “This government loves to spend money on projects. F35s is one example, that’s going to cost Canadians $45 billion for a handful of fighter jets. But they won’t invest money in having government work effectively in the interests of the people.” Election issues include the lack of public participation and environmental assessments for pipeline projects, systems which the Conservative government has “gutted.” Due to the timeline being extended for the National Energy Board review process of the Kinder Morgan proposal, “a new government will be able to influence the decision,” Julian said. He added “Canada is missing the boat on clean energy which is expected to create many thousands of new jobs in the future … Instead [the Conservatives] put all of their eggs in what are just raw resource extraction and exports, raw bitumen, raw logs, and raw minerals, and that’s why we’ve lost so many manufacturing jobs and value-added jobs.” Canada Post’s plan to end door-to-door delivery is also expected to be a hot topic, Julian said, noting two town hall meetings he held on the subject were “standing room only” and there is “epidemic theft” happening with community mailboxes. The increases in homelessness, poverty and temporary and part-time jobs and cuts to full-time jobs are also expected to be campaign issues. Please see MORE INFRASTRUCTURE, NEXT PAGE

‘More infrastructure needed’ ⫸

Burnaby

continued from PREVIOUS PAGE

As for Julian’s competition, so far there is only a potential Liberal candidate in William Laycraft, a 26-year-old computer systems project manager who is seeking that party’s nomination. It’s the Queensborough resident’s first experience with politics, but it’s in his blood. His late grandfather, William McEwen was once vicepresident of the Liberal Party of Canada at the national level, and president of the party in B.C. Laycraft said after the Liberals suffered a crushing defeat in 2011 under then-leader Michael Ignatieff, he decided he wanted to be involved in the rebuilding of the party. He sees the top issues as a need for more federal investment in infrastructure such as public transit, and the replacement of aging bridges and roads. Cuts to services and benefits for veterans also need to be addressed.

BURNABY NORTHSEYMOUR Mike Little, a three-term councillor for North Vancouver District will represent the Conservatives in the new riding come election time.

Kennedy Stewart and federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair work the room at Stewart’s nomination meeting to be the party’s candidate in Burnaby-South in the next federal election. Stewart was acclaimed.

Little, who works for his family business exporting finished B.C. lumber to China, Korea and Japan, was first elected as councillor in 2005. His political work has included a focus on accessibility issues for seniors and persons with disabilities, and serving as the liaison to North Shore Rescue and the North Shore Emergency Management Office. He’ll be campaigning against Liberal candidate Terry Beech, an entrepreneur and adjunct professor at SFU and University of British Columbia. The North Burnaby resident has the distinction of being B.C.’s youngest-ever elected official when he became a city

councillor in Nanaimo in 1999, at age 18. Those seeking the New Democrat nomination include Carol Baird Ellan, a retired Provincial Court judge who lives in North Vancouver. Baird Ellan, who retired from the bench in 2012, has the endorsement of Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. Local actor Michael Charrois has also declared to be running, while Trevor Ritchie, has withdrawn from the race. The NDP’s nomination meeting will “likely be in the next few months,” said Graham Hallson, president of the party’s Burnaby North-Seymour riding association.

‘Working to rebuild relationships’ ⫸

continued from PAGE A17

She said Burnaby’s trustees wrote to the ministry calling for the government to go into mediation and settle the strike before the BTA even asked them to. “There are communities and school districts that did none of that.” Figursky believes the turning point was the province’s decision to pay parents $40 a day per student under 12 years of age to cover daycare costs during the strike. It was only after parents balked at the money— viewed as the province’s apparent willingness to prolong the strike as a sign children’s education was regarded as little more than childcare—that the government agreed to mediation. While the eventual contract didn’t make up for what was lost, she said there is a bigger agenda involved that has yet to play out. “Perhaps we didn’t win but we didn’t lose with this contract.” As for the year ahead, Figursky said teachers are still waiting for a decision in the province’s appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court decision that found it illegally removed previously-agreed-upon class size and composition limits. “What happens there could open up a part of the contract this year or, what I’m afraid and disappointed will happen, is the provincial government will decide to go to the Supreme Court of Canada next.” Those limits set out the maximum class sizes and numbers of students with special needs in

each class. Figursky noted that in 2002, when those limits were stripped, teachers were already trying to improve on them. “What we thought was not good enough is now something that’s the ‘good ol’ days,’” she said with chagrin. So while there are five years to go in the new contract, negotiations on class size and composition could be opened up at any time. The Burnaby school board’s new chair, trustee Ron Burton, said he predicted it would be a long strike but in the end was happy to see a negotiated settlement. “We’re working on rebuilding relationships and making sure teachers feel that they’re valued in the system. I think they had a tremendous amount of public support and I think that was reflected in Burnaby as well.” Burton said once the strike was over, teachers went out of their way to get new programs up and running. “We really appreciated that and that kind of shows the kind of working relationship we have with them.” He agreed the upcoming court decision will be key but is hopeful the province will have discussions with the BCTF to see if there’s any common ground before the court ruling is rendered. That would help rebuild the relationship with teachers, he said. Waiting until after the courts decide, “then it becomes too adversarial.”
