▶ ALL NEWTON, CLAYTON AND GRANDVIEW-AREA SCHOOLS ARE FACING SIGNIFICANT SPACE CONSTRAINTS SHEILA REYNOLDS

Extreme overcrowding at schools in some areas of Surrey – and a lack of new building money from Victoria – is forcing the school district to consider moving school boundaries in several neighbourhoods.

One of three proposed boundary changes would shift students in the northeastern section of the Wood-

ward Hill Elementary catchment area in south Newton to Goldstone Park Elementary, and students in the south end of the Goldstone catchment to Cambridge Elementary.

The change is intended to ease the continued space constraints and enrolment growth at Woodward Hill, located in an area where housing development is brisk. While one of the

school district’s high priority requests to Victoria is to build an addition at Woodward Hill, funding has yet to come. That leaves the district managing the crowded conditions next fall by continuing to use portables (there are six at Woodward this year) and moving school boundaries. continued on page 4

Province accused of hiding Massey Bridge documents ▶ FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS TURN UP ‘NO RECORDS’ FOR $3-BILLION PROJECT JEFF NAGEL

The provincial government came under fire again Tuesday for blocking the release of information – this time related to its plan to build a new bridge on Highway 99 to replace the Massey Tunnel.

Independent MLA Vicki Huntington raised the issue in the legislature, saying three separate freedom of information requests – two from her office and one from a Delta-South constituent – turned up nothing.

“The people of B.C. have a right to expect that a $3-billion decision has a paper trail,” Huntington fumed during Question Period.

Premier Christy Clark announced the new bridge between Delta and Richmond would be built at the September 2013 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

One FOI request directed to the premier’s office for any background material leading up to that announcement didn’t even turn up Clark’s speech.

A later request from Huntington’s office targeted background material and technical data that would have helped transportation ministry staff decide on which five configuration options for a new bridge or tunnel would go out to public consultation.

Again, “no records

If you’re like Laura you never miss an opportunity to get together with friends and have fun. That’s why you’re all invited to A Walk Down Memory Lane event. Join us and learn why our residents feel so at home at Chartwell.

Huntington sought the business case or cost-benefit analysis, technical reports and correspondence – any of the rationale that should guide such a critical decision. It turned up nothing she was after, just 15 pages of traffic analysis.

“How can you make a decision to spend $3 billion and have no records to show for that decision?”

Huntington demanded. “We have a right to understand how government reaches these conclusions on major projects.”

In fact, there is no business case for the Massey project yet – it was supposed to be complete by the spring of 2014 but is 18 months overdue.

Nor is there an estimated price tag, a decision on whether it will be tolled, or a final configuration, although officials suggest it will be 10 lanes.

The lack of detail hasn’t stopped the province from embarking on preliminary design and

instead repeatedly suggested Huntington had joined the “say no to the opportunities” party that opposes infrastructure projects.

That prompted the Delta-South MLA to say she sometimes wishes she could “bop the members opposite on the head” before being ordered by the speaker to withdraw the comment.

The exchange came 10 days after a damning report by the information and privacy commissioner that revealed the government practice of “triple deleting” emails from servers to thwart FOI searches.

Huntington said it’s frustrating that the government is avoiding its obligation to keep documents related to major decisions and release them as required.

“It’s another illustration that the triple delete caper is alive and well and it’s incredibly disappointing and very destructive to the public’s right to know.”

The government’s rationale for the bridge could face more scrutiny in the months ahead.

Auditor General Carol Bellringer has announced a project audit “to evaluate the quality of evidence to support the decision to replace the Massey Tunnel.”

Surrey: Violent crimes continue to increase ▼ HOWEVER, MURDERS ARE DOWN AND SO IS PROPERTY CRIME OVERALL, AS RCMP RELEASES THIRD-QUARTER CRIME STATS KEVIN DIAKIW

Violent crime in Surrey continues to soar, while property crime is taking a big drop, according to third-quarter statistics released by the RCMP. Violent crime jumped by 40 per cent in the first three quarters of this year, when compared to the same period last year.

Much of that can be explained by an increase in assaults, which skyrocketed by about 500 in the first nine months of this year.

Robberies were up by about 100 during that period as well.

Attempted murders more than doubled from eight to 28, and sex assaults were up from 164 to 228 – a jump of 39 per cent. Abduction and kidnapping went up from 30 in the first three-quarters of last year to 47 so far in 2015.

Overall, homicides were down 59 per cent, from 17 to seven, and were either unchanged or down in the five policing districts serving the city.

The good news for Surrey is that property crime continues to plunge, down by nine per cent overall, with residential break-andenters decreasing by 18 per cent in the first three quarters of this year, business break-and-enters down 14 per cent, and break-andenters overall decreasing by 17 per cent.

The biggest jump in violent crime during this period was in policing District 4 (Cloverdale and Port Kells), which saw a 47-percent leap. It was followed by District 2 (Guildford and Fleetwood), up 45 per cent; District 5 (South Surrey), up 43 per cent; District 1 (Whalley) up 38 per cent; and District 3 (Newton), up 36 per cent.

Once again, attempted murders are on the rise in Newton (up 175 per cent), and Whalley (175 per cent), while Cloverdale and Guildford saw no change and South Surrey dropped by 100 per cent.

Sex assault remains high across the city, including in Cloverdale/Port Kells, which saw those crimes increase 77 per cent this year so far; Guildford/Fleetwood, up 45 per cent; Newton (44 per cent); South Surrey (29 per cent); and Whalley (16 per cent).

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said property crime is dropping due to continued targeted policing, which focuses on repeat offenders.

Delta’s new Liberal MP Carla Qualtrough has been named to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s first cabinet. The former Paralympian was sworn in Wednesday in Ottawa as the Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities.

Visually impaired since birth, Qualtrough was a medalist at both the 1988 Paralympic Games in Seoul, South Korea and the 1992 Games in Barcelona and Madrid, Spain. She is a former president of the Canadian Paralympic Committee and was named one of Canada’s most influential women in sport six times. She is on the board of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport and is vice-chair of the Delta Gymnastics Society.

“Big day for Canada. Honoured to be chosen to serve in this way,” Qualtrough posted on social media Wednesday. “I am profoundly proud to stand with my Liberal caucus. This team under Justin Trudeau will serve Canadians very well.”

Qualtrough is one of three MPs from B.C. who are now part of the 31-member federal cabinet: Jody Wilson-Raybould, MP for Vancouver-Granville, was appointed Minister of Carla Justice and Attorney General Qualtrough of Canada; and Harjit Sajjan, MP for Vancouver-South, was named Minister of Defence.

The cabinet includes 15 women to meet Trudeau’s promise of having equal gender representation in politics.

Qualtrough, 44, told The Leader last month she is a longtime Liberal, in the past working for Liberal MPs and in the office of former prime minster Paul Martin.

“I fell in love with the role of an MP and what an effective MP can do – helping people and making laws,” the human rights lawyer said. “It appealed to me.”

Qualtrough defeated Conservative cabinet minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay in the new riding of Delta on the Oct. 19 election with 49.1 per cent of the vote.

Half of youth are happy living in Surrey: Report ▶ SURREYCARES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TAKES THE PULSE OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CITY SHEILA REYNOLDS

Surrey youth are just as passionate about their city as adults and have worthwhile opinions, but need more support to have successful futures in the city.

The view comes from a recently released Surrey Youth Vital Signs 2015 report by SurreyCares Community Foundation.

The report is the second Vital Signs report, this time combining research with a poll of 400 young people aged 12 to 24.

Just over half of the respondents said they’re satisfied or very satisfied living in Surrey, but some said improvements in safety, transit, mental wellness, education and employment are needed.

The youth listed the arts scene as one of Surrey’s greatest assets.

While pleased with the festivals, events and classes available, they indicated they’d like events to

cost less and that there be more youth-focussed events and more public entertainment in general.

Culture, identity and belonging also topped young people’s list of Surrey’s strong points, with lots of events promoting cultural awareness and many organizations supporting various communities in the city.

Still, the young people gave a C grade to education, with 31 per cent saying more funding was needed for post-secondary education, and a quarter of respondents indicating they’d like smaller class sizes and more emphasis on life-skills training in school.

“I have not been provided with the education I need to excel in interviews and find jobs that are in need. Please change this!” said one respondent.

Youth were, however, pleased with the online learning options available and library programs.

A significant portion of respondents (38 per cent) said there needed to be more teen-friendly employers in Surrey and more job opportunities for young people.

A third said current high school

trade skills programs should be celebrated.

Transit was a hot topic for youth, with about 30 per cent wanting lower transit fares and late-night bus and SkyTrain service.

“Youths’ pride in our growing and changing city is encouraging,” said Jeff Hector, chair of the Board of Directors for SurreyCares. “Their interest in a smoother transition to adulthood by better access to transit, education, employment, housing and engagement will help Surrey families, businesses and organizations to work together to enhance their futures.”

The study notes that except for Vancouver, Surrey has more children and youth than any city in B.C. It is also home to 22 per cent of the youths in the Metro Vancouver region.

Thirty-two per cent of the study’s respondents said they planned to stay in Surrey for the next five years.

The Vital Signs research is meant to ascertain where Surrey is doing well and where it can improve.

The school district says all schools in the Clayton and Grandview Heights neighbourhoods are under “extreme enrolment pressures,” while all schools in the South Newton area “are, or are expected to be, under significant enrolment pressures.”

South Newton schools alone saw an influx of 200 new children in September.

Five years in jail for Surrey drug trafficker SHEILA REYNOLDS

Kelowna, where things were “dry,” and suggested Ketamine (a pain killer/sedative) might sell well there. The two continued to speak and meet to arrange deals, during which time Sek admitted he was on bail for another matter and didn’t need any “trouble.”

Sek, said Crown prosecutors, had no prior criminal record and was referring to manslaughter and break-and-enter charges he faces for his alleged involvement in the October 2007 mass murder of six men in a Whalley apartment – now referred to as the Surrey Six murders.

Sek, with black spiky hair and wearing a prison-issue orange jumpsuit, acknowledged friends and family when he entered the Surrey courtroom on Tuesday morning. He listened while the series of conversations and dealings between Sek and the undercover cop were detailed in court, including numerous comings and goings from a “drug stash” suite in an apartment tower near 133 Street and 104 Avenue.

The investigation culminated on Sept. 4, 2014, with arrests and raids of several sites

trafficking in a controlled substance, three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition.

On Tuesday, the court heard Surrey RCMP began an investigation into Sek in April 2013, suspecting he was a wholesale drug supplier selling to dealers out of a tattoo shop on 104 Avenue near 139 Street.

Undercover police officers made several drug transactions with lower-level dealers, but were initially unsuccessful having direct contact with Sek. While investigators collected intelligence (which led to the arrest of one of Sek’s associates), it wasn’t until May 2014 that undercover officers attended an illegal after-hours club to meet Sek. One officer spoke to him and arranged to get a tattoo at his shop.

The undercover agent spoke to Sek about “other business opportunities” in

A man who was freed in 2010 after being charged in connection with the notorious Surrey Six murder case has been sentenced to more than five years in prison for a string of gun and drug offences committed while he was out on bail.

Sophon Sek was sentenced Tuesday on seven charges to which he pleaded guilty in early October in Surrey Provincial Court. In a joint submission made to the court, the Crown and defence recommended Sek be sentenced to six years in jail. The judge adhered to the agreed-upon sentence, with credit granted for time Sek has spent in pretrial custody, leaving five years, one month remaining.

Sek and several co-accused were charged in March with numerous restricted firearm, drug trafficking and possession offences that took place between June and September 2014 in Surrey. Sek pleaded guilty Oct. 1 to two counts of

nalia. A canvas bag was discovered containing guns and ammunition, including four restricted submachine guns, three high-capacity magazines that could be readily loaded in the weapons, plus 150 rounds of ammunition for 9mm and 38-special handguns.

Cupboards and counter tops in the apartment contained fentanyl powder and pills, heroin, methamphetamine, scales and blenders with drug residue, and a cooking pot with crack cocaine residue.

Sek’s home in Newton was also searched, as was one of his co-accused’s homes in Burnaby.

Crown prosecutors pointed to many aggravating factors in Sek’s offences, including that

they were organized and premeditated, and spanned months.

The Crown also noted the “remarkable” resemblance of the scenario to the one he was on bail for.

The Surrey Six case also involved drug dealing and the men who were killed were shot to death in a drug stash suite where drugs were made and packaged for sale.

During the trial of Red Scorpions gang members Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston – who were convicted in the Surrey Six case and imprisoned for life – the court heard Sek led the murderers to the door of the drug suite where the executions took place.

Sek has yet to face trial in that case.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday November 6 2015

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you want more details about how the province came to the decision to build a new $3-billion Massey Bridge?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Should the rail line that runs through the White Rock and South Surrey waterfront be re-routed inland?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 21% No 79%

Bring on fair tolls, fees A group of academics and former politicians is adding fuel to an already raging fire.

The fire is the issue of paying to use infrastructure to get around in urban areas, which in Canada is becoming increasingly congested. There was plenty of discussion about this in the recent federal election, with all three major parties promising to spend more on infrastructure. Significantly, tolls and road pricing were barely mentioned.

Many Surrey, Delta, White Rock and other South Fraser residents are already paying a form of congestion tax. As the primary users of the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, they pay every time they cross.

The Pattullo Bridge is supposedly the “free” alternative to the Port Mann, but it is in poor condition and is itself badly congested. There is no replacement on the horizon.

There are no “free” alternatives to the Golden Ears, which due to the toll is by far the least-congested Fraser River crossing in the Lower Mainland. It gets a reasonable amount of use, because there are few alternatives to get to and from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Transit on both spans is minimal (one bus route on each bridge). This shortcoming adds to the widespread perception that the tolls are punishment for people who live in certain areas.

The academic-political group known as the Ecofiscal Commission is proposing a more comprehensive use of road pricing in congested areas, in particular Greater Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Road pricing of course has been discussed in this region by the Mayors’ Council and even half-heartedly endorsed as a long-term solution to transit funding woes. However, progress on the issue has been glacial, largely because the divisions of responsibility over transportation among the provincial government, TransLink and individual cities.

An interesting experiment in congestion pricing is just getting underway in the Seattle region, which is often even more congested than Metro Vancouver and has fewer transit options.

Improvements to Interstate 405, which is a popular alternative to Interstate 5 through downtown Seattle, have created new tolled lanes. They take the place of the previous HOV lane on the stretch of I-405 between its northern junction with I-5 in Lynnwood and Bellevue.

There are no more free rides for vehicles with two occupants using the lanes in peak hours. Only with proper passes, and three or more occupants, can vehicles travel for free. Everyone else pays tolls, which vary widely based

on the amount of traffic in the lanes and the distance travelled.

The rates rise as more drivers use the lanes. Tolls can vary between 75 cents and $10. There are no “free” times when the lane can be used – it is a tolled lane, 24 hours a day.

The reaction has been mixed thus far. A blog post last week on the WashDOT site puts a good spin on the results after one month of operation, but reader comments are mainly negative, with some saying the new lanes have caused more traffic on I-5.

South Fraser residents in general have supported an even-handed approach to bridge tolling in the Metro Vancouver region, favouring suggestions of tolls of $1 or so for all bridges.

This of course would reduce tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears, but add them to the Pattullo, Alex Fraser, Queensborough and Deas Island crossings.

Congestion taxation, toll lanes, more bridge tolls and other revenue sources to boost transportation spending and attempt to shape traffic patterns seem to be inevitable. They will likely find some favour with most drivers if they are applied in an even-handed fashion, at the lowest possible charge.

Over the years, we have witnessed the tragic deaths of young people who did not receive adequate support under the provincial government’s program for children in care.

Last month, independent public inquiries were requested by the families of 15-year-old Nick Lang and 18-year-old Alex Gervais. Premier Christy Clark said a “review” would take place, but not an independent public inquiry, saying a review would be more expedient.

However, an independent inquiry might be more appropriate and ensure transparency and accountability.

Greater steps should have taken place years ago. The government has known about shortfalls in the system.

Children have been left unattended in hotels, they have struggled after reaching the age of 19 (when they are “aged out” of

care), and have been victims of a system that was intended to help them.

The 2014 report, On Their Own: Examining the Needs of B.C. Youth as They Leave Government Care, by the B.C. Representative for Children and Youth, makes multiple recommendations. It recommends the creation of a “minimum income support level as well as access to health, dental and vision care for all former youth in care until age 25.”

This would help ensure the well-being of and financial stability for youth.

It also recommends “on a case-by-case basis, the extension of foster care up to age 25 for youth who are in post-secondary school or training program.”

Extending the age limit will help youth in care transition and have access to much-needed resources. It will also empower them to pursue higher education

and/or trades programs.

Other recommendations include the creation of a Youth Secretariat to help bring in new initiatives and work with other government ministries. The establishment of new legislation, modelled around the Children (Leaving Care) Act created in the United Kingdom, has also been suggested.

Inadequate support leads to numerous struggles for these young people. It is related to financial stability, mental health, education and many other aspects of life.

A weak government response to these needs can lead to a cycle of poverty.

Carly Fraser committed suicide 20 hours and 35 minutes after she had turned 19. No child should have to choose between life and death. No youth should have to battle addiction or sleep on the

sidewalk because proper safeguards were not implemented and financial commitments were not made.

Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux, the Minister of Children and Family Development, said “it’s not true that they age out with no supports… there is actually a lot of support available as they make that transition. But we do know that there’s always more we could be doing.”

The government needs to take serious steps and follow these words with action.

It is often said that the true measure of our society’s success is based on how we treat the most vulnerable. This is a call to our B.C. representatives to take action.

▼ RECONCILIATION: A MEANINGFUL STEP Re: “Myths of the Highway of Tears,” (B.C. Views, Oct. 28).

Tom Fletcher’s column triggered my memory of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election.

The Highway of Tears is not a myth and using mythology in the title of that column is an insult to the hundreds of aboriginal families who have lost loved ones as a result of many tragedies that have occurred on that road and across this country.

The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sussex Drive has promised an inquiry into the disproportionate number of murders and disappearances that continue to occur in the aboriginal population.

It would be hoped that an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and colour of systemic issues inherent in Canadian institutions that help perpetuate these tragedies, and that the new federal government will commit to real solutions from its recommendations.

The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 recommendations that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process.

The TRC has helped many Canadians to understand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by aboriginal communities both on and off reserve, and to help them move Canadians individually and collectively to a reconciliation commitment. Those current and future problems will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general non-native population.

Improving the transportation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the dysphoria that has dominated aboriginal communities both on and off reserve.

Reconciliation Canada (reconciliationcanada. ca) is a key agent of change in this space and is dedicated to building meaningful relationships where all Canadians achieve their full potential and shared prosperity.

Getting informed is the first step. Stepping into this discourse is the next.

I am stepping in.

Legal fireworks are safe I am writing to you on behalf of the Canadian National Fireworks Association (CNFA) in response to the article, “Officials lend a hand for Halloween safety,” The Leader, Oct. 30.

The CNFA is the leading national voice advocating on behalf of the Canadian fireworks industry, which includes manufacturers, distributors, vendors and consumers. Our mission is to promote fair access and safety in the sale and use of fireworks through public education, advocacy with

regulators and member compliance.

Your article brings awareness to an important issue: the safe use and proper handling of low-hazard fireworks.

We commend the RCMP for targeting the dangers associated with the improper handling of fireworks and the sale of illegal products.

We would like to note however, the explosive used in the RCMP’s safety demonstration at Joe Brown Park is not a legal firework in Canada and as demonstrated, can be very dangerous.

In contrast, federally approved consumer fireworks are safe when used according to guidelines. They are put through rigorous inspection and testing by the

federal government.

Fireworks have been used by Canadians for centuries to celebrate many occasions. For more information on Canadian Fireworks reg-

Alberta offers wholesale discounts for its restaurants and bars, but there’s no wholesale pricing in most other provinces.

Tostenson is in Victoria this week to lobby the province to make that change and to reconsider why it charges a higher sales tax of 10 per cent on liquor, instead of the usual seven-per-cent Provincial Sales Tax. “We have the highest taxation on wine in North America,” he said.

Restaurants would also like to be able to buy from private stores, which do get a wholesale discount and might be able to offer a price break to win restaurants’ business.

Soccer coach’s trial delayed ▶ KULDIP MAHAL HAS BEEN IN CUSTODY IN SEATTLE SINCE FEBRUARY TRACY HOLMES

A Surrey youth soccer coach accused of pursuing sex with a minor will not go to trial until at least January.

Proceedings against Kuldip Singh Mahal had been set to get underway last week, after an initial trial date of July 20 was postponed.

According to filings for the U.S. District Court of Seattle, the jury trial is now set to begin Jan. 19, 2016.

Mahal has been in custody south of the border since Feb. 3.

On that date, a 47-year-old Surrey man was arrested at a park in Burlington after crossing into the U.S. at Blaine.

Court documents allege the accused responded to a “casual encounters” post on Craigslist in January, and communicated with what he believed to be a 12-year-old girl.

However, according

to court documents, all suspect communications – including sexually explicit messages and photos – were sent to an undercover agent with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

Word of the arrest resulted in Mahal’s suspension from Surrey United Soccer Club.

A request to continue the trial at a later date was granted in an appearance Oct. 8, during which Judge Robert S. Lasnik found that denying the motion – which was submitted unopposed – would deny defense counsel “the reasonable time necessary” to prepare, and “likely result in a miscarriage of justice.”

Lasnik described the continuance as a “reasonable period of delay” that would bestserve “ends of justice.”

Thugs storm Surrey home KEVIN DIAKIW

A Surrey woman is physically unharmed, but emotionally shaken, after a brazen daylight home invasion in North Surrey.

At about 12:15 p.m. Monday, a group of five to seven masked thugs broke into the home of a 36-year-old woman in the 12600-block of 91 Avenue. She was at the door as they entered.

“A couple of them sit her down and keep watch over her, while the rest of the gang rummages through the house,” said RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann.

The group managed to steal some cash before the downstairs tenant came home, scaring off the attackers.

RCMP arrived along with Police Dog Services, which tracked the group out the back door to a point where the scent came to an end.

Police are asking for anyone who noticed anything unusual in that area at about noon on Monday to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Fiery crash sends several to hospital A fiery, multi-vehicle crash in South Surrey sent several people to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries on Saturday.

The incident took place around 5:30 p.m. in the 4500-block of King George Boulevard, when a southbound SUV struck a Ford Mustang from behind. The SUV rolled, landing in the northbound lane, and the Mustang caught fire. Two other vehicles were also struck.

BC Ambulance Services reported seven people transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Plan your city ▶ SURREY RESIDENTS ENLISTED FOR SFU SUMMIT BLACK PRESS

On Nov. 7, 100 Surrey residents will play a role in helping to chart the future course of their city.

Thrive! Surrey in 2030, a daylong event hosted by Simon Fraser University’s Public Square and Centre for Dialogue, will create a “residents’ lab” that will mine the expertise, dreams and aspirations of 100 selected Surrey residents in planning the city’s future.

The session will run from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Surrey City Hall’s council chambers. Event organizers are currently accepting applications for potential grassroots city planners (link below).

“This event is designed for the residents of Surrey,” says moderator Shauna Sylvester, director of SFU’s Centre for Dialogue.

“Delegates will be chosen on the basis of demographics such as gender, age, geographical location within Surrey and ethno-cultural diversity. We also hope to reflect other forms of diversity as well – income, education, sexual orientation and abilities.”

Professional facilitators will divide the chosen participants into groups, and akin to SimCity – a city-building simulation video game – the lab will assign residents key roles.

By profiling the increasing pressure facing municipalities due to surging urbanization and considering what attracts people to urban centres, Sylvester seeks to raise residents’ awareness of their power to help shape their city.

Two dozen protesters gathered on the steps of Surrey City Hall Monday evening to rally against the city’s expropriation of the 16-acre parcel of land that houses Riverside Golf Centre.

Ken Poirier, whose family has owned the 3600 King George Blvd. business for 49 years, arranged the rally after he was told last month he couldn’t appear as a delegation to council because the matter is still before the courts.

With a 1,200-name petition in hand, he and his supporters – holding signs that read “Save our Riverside” and “Please talk to us” – arrived in North Surrey by bus ahead of Monday’s council meeting, but were told they couldn’t come inside city hall with their signs.

“Apart from the ruin on our family, they’re doing a disservice to the community,” Poirier said, noting his family has been given until Jan. 31, 2016 to vacate. “We’re trying to show them we have the support of the people who would rather have a golf facility than a

freshwater marsh.”

Poirier was first notified last January of the city’s plans to “acquire open land for park purposes for biodiversity conservation, passive recreation and the viewing of wildlife and scenery.”

After an inquiry in April, the expropria-

tion was completed in June and the City of Surrey now holds the title of the land.

According to Poirier, the city paid $3.25 million for the parcel, a fraction of what he believes it is worth.

A city lawyer said Poirier can file a claim if he’s unhappy with com-

Inclusive Employers honoured

A South Surrey hair salon owner was among employers recognized this month for creating meaningful employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities.

Marty Hunter of Fresh Hair Concepts was among six employers throughout Surrey, White Rock and Delta to receive a 2015 Innovative Labour Solutions Award Oct. 1 at Eaglequest Golf Club.

Hunter was recognized in the 5-99 Employees category.

The 1-4 Employees category was won by Philip Aguirre of Newton Business Improvement Association; Les Merson and Kathryn McLean of Stenberg College won in the 100499 Employees; and Anna Christian of the City of Surrey’s Cemetery Services won in the 500+ Employees category.

Winner of the Non-profit category was Sherrie Jamieson of Reach Child and Youth Development.

The winners were among 25 business nominees.

MC John Edwards said the event was designed “to recognize employers that make a measurable difference in the lives of British Columbians trying to overcome social and economic barriers.”

Surrey diesel spill sparks more truck park criticism ▶ PROJECT PROPONENTS SAY ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED TRACY HOLMES

A collision last week on 16 Avenue involving two dump trucks and a minivan highlights concerns around a truck parking facility proposed for the area, residents say.

“That they’re even considering this is an outrage to us,” said Brian Coote, spokesman for the newly formed Friends of Hazelmere and Campbell Valley (FHCV). “There’s just so many reasons that this is the wrong site.”

The crash occurred around 8 a.m. last Wednesday (Oct. 28),

On this important day, Retirement Concepts wants to thank you for the sacrifices made for the privileges we enjoy today!

Please join us at one of our RC Communities with the over 4,500+ residents and families as we remember.

when the dump trucks, travelling in opposite directions east of 192 Street, sideswiped each other. The impact caused one to swerve into the oncoming lane and hit a minivan.

While police said injuries weren’t serious, residents say the diesel that spilled from one of the truck’s ruptured tanks into the nearby Little Campbell River is.

“It was smashed and it was empty,” Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society (LCWS), said of the 380-litre tank.

Milligan didn’t know how much fuel was actually in the tank at the time of the collision, however, “certainly, a lot of it drained right down the hill and into the river.”

However, according to City of Surrey officials, a work crew responded to the scene only for fuel on the road.

“They don’t think

Friends of Hazelmere and Campbell Valley spokesmen David Anderson (right) and Brian Coote survey the Little Campbell River from 16 Avenue Friday, just two days after a truck crash (below, contributed photo) sent diesel fuel into the salmon-bearing stream. TRACY HOLMES anything made it into the river,” spokesman Oliver Lum said.

Ministry of Environment officials confirmed this week that they were not asked to investigate a spill at the site.

But David Anderson, an FHCV member and director of A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environ-

mental Centre – located directly across from the proposed truck park – said he saw the fuel flow into the waterway firsthand.

“I stood on the bridge and watched diesel trickling down... straight into the Little Campbell,” he said. “A little more rain and (spawning salmon) will

be all through here.”

The potential for future pollution of the environmentally sensitive area – under which lies much of the Brookswood aquifer, which supplies water to thousands of rural South Surrey and Langley residents – is a key reason why FHCV and the LCWS are opposed to the proposed truck park.

Other concerns include the loss of a critical wildlife corridor, safety along already-busy thoroughfare, and the impact to residents of three residential-care facilities in the area.

However, Parm Garcha, one of the project’s proponents, said every effort is being made to address concerns on all sides – for the trucking industry, residents and environment.

If that doesn’t happen, “we will not proceed,” Garcha said.

“We are making sure we address each and every concern to the fullest.”

Garcha described environmental concerns as “valid” but said that any flaw or accident could be “mitigated or controlled 100 per cent.” He cited bioswales as among “engineering marvels” planned to prevent contaminants from entering the Little Campbell. As well, 100-metre setbacks from the river would be enhanced for wildlife.

Proximity to the border will reduce the congestion, pollution and damage caused by trucks that are on the city’s roads more than necessary due to the current lack of truck parking, he added.

And while Anderson and Coote said considerable concern remains with council’s Sept. 14 decision to remove the subject 77 acres from the Local Area Plan process to fast-track the development, Garcha said truck parking in Surrey needs to be addressed quickly.

“Trucks have been a problem in Surrey for at least 10 or 12 years,” he said. “We’re trying to balance it for the truckers that nobody wants. They’re also taxpayers, they’re also people that are procontinued on page 16

Steven Purewal, founder of Indus Media Foundation Canada, presented the flag to Premier Christy Clark Oct. 28 as a symbol of their contribution. Here are excerpts from Purewal’s speech: “In 1849 Vancouver Island and the Punjab both became realms of the Crown. For the Punjab, the Victorian era opened up many opportunities within the vast military administration of the empire. And by the turn of the 19th Century, Punjabis had won many accolades as outstanding soldiers of the Queen in the various campaigns throughout Asia and Africa.

“As we know, in the summer of 1914, the ship Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver to a less than welcoming environment. It was a sad episode in our community’s history.

And that is that another ship was asked to sail at the very same time the Komagata Maru was leaving from India, that was asked to sail to France.

“That ship contained the kith and kin of the people aboard the Komagata Maru. Their story is the story of the men that stood with

Canada during its baptism of fire in World War I. “The heroic story of the Canadians in Flanders Fields is told in our classrooms.

But what’s not told is that the Punjabis were standing united with Canada. They were there as brothers in arms and friends in need. They stood true despite the events of Vancouver.

“On the centennial of World War I, our children should learn that the Indian Army won 9,000 gallantry awards, that the Indian Army fielded more men in World War I than all the other colonies put together, including Canada and Australia, that they were critical to the allied victory.”

The assurances have done little to quell the concern of Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club members, who have a 59-year history of restoring the Little Campbell. The 1284 184 St. hatchery is located just 2.4 kilometres downstream of the proposed facility.

Club president Bob Donnelly said letters have been sent to mayor and council outlining their concerns.

In a video created to raise awareness of the concern, Donnelly warns that any leak of chemicals and other contaminants into the river “would destroy all fish life in the river regardless of season.”

“We’re not convinced that any amount of assurances or engineered safety approaches would effectively protect this river,” he states. “At some point in the future, those will fail.”

It isn’t about glorifying war – it’s about honouring Canadians’ service and sacrifice for the way of life we hold dear.

That’s the message from Gordon Harris president of First Capital Chorus, the Langley chapter of the barbershop Harmony Society, whose members are already busy selling tickets for their upcoming annual tradition, a concert for Remembrance Day. In a time when support for veterans has been called into question, it’s a good way to

affirm solidarity with them, Harris noted.

MUSE – the next big lifestyle inspiration in Delta…

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

M

use as a verb means to reflect deeply and consider something thoughtfully. As a noun, it refers to a person who is a great source of artistic inspiration. Now, as a property in Delta, MUSE refers to the beautiful 101 condos, four townhouses, and seven commercial opportunities starting at $189,900.

By Nicolle Hodges

Situated in a vibrant community, homeowners will find themselves with all of life’s necessities right at their doorstep: amenities, attractions, entertainment, and restaurants. Even more, there is a wide range of indoor and outdoor fitness options, including Steve Nash Fitness World, the newly renovated North Delta Recreation Centre, or the nearby Newton Athletic Park for soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball, and beach volleyball. MUSE even offers its own fitness facility so a good workout is never far from home. For

those more inclined to the outdoors, the area encompasses over 1,350 acres of parkland and miles of walking trails and biking routes.

“The immediate area is a close-knit community with a number of nearby schools and amenities,” says Sales Manager, MUSE, Karen O’Hare. “It also features excellent shopping, grocery stores and restaurants, easy access to Vancouver and the lower mainland and good transportation.”

However, one of the most exciting draws to the area transcends beyond what is available outside.

“There are affordable options for everyone,” says O’Hare.. Exciting and interesting architecture will pose as a new landmark in the neighbourhood, offering new home opportunities to people who want to stay in the area or make a move to the area.”

MUSE offers 18 different floor plans to choose from, sleek and modern interiors, and laminate flooring that offers the warmth of wood. Plus, new homebuyers have the option for a limited time to choose one of two professional designed color schemes - Ash or Sand.

Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with stunning city and mountain views with covered balconies with privacy screens give access to the outdoors year round, and embrace space with layouts that offer plenty of room to grow.

“I love the 9ft ceilings and the gorgeous expansive windows,” O’Hare

says. “All the homes include parking as well as a deck and/or patio. I love the luxury details in the kitchen including the quartz counters and glass backsplash with the Whirlpool stainless steel appliance package.”

All features – from indoor luxuries to outdoor amenities - contribute to creating a bright, fun, and inviting space that completes the MUSE lifestyle.

“We anticipate MUSE to appeal to a wide demographic,” says O’Hare,

“young people wanting to stay in the neighbourhood they grew up in, professionals wanting to move up and downsizers wanting to stay close to their friends and family.”

With over two decades of home building experience, Bassi Properties is recognized as a reputable homebuilder across the Lower Mainland, O’Hare says.

Bassi Properties is driven by the principles of quality, reliability and affordability to ensure the homes

they build exceed the standards customers deserve.

“There has not been a lot of new home multi family opportunities in the area and MUSE has already attracted huge interest,” she says. “The exciting architecture and finishings as well as the quality construction and design will make MUSE a must-see for any new home buyer.”

Muse is located at 9015 120th Street in Delta. For more information visit www.liveatmuse.com

Interiors are sleek and modern, beautifully finished, with stunning city and mountain views. Choose from a wide variety of floor plans.

Hammond settles into Ottawa ▶ SURREY NATIVE STARTS

FIRST FULL SEASON IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE WITH THE OTTAWA SENATORS RICK KUPCHUK

After his record-setting run last spring, which launched his National Hockey League career, Andrew Hammond’s approach to this season was no different than any other.

For the first time, the Surrey native began a season in the NHL, playing goal for the Ottawa Senators while on a multi-million dollar one-way contract.

Yet he insists not much has changed.

“It’s a little bit different, but you kind of approach it the same way,” he said last week, immediately after practice in Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre and just prior to a flight to Michigan for a game against the Detroit Red Wings.

“If anything, you try to put more emphasis on having a good start, and making sure you do everything you can to have your season start on the right track.

“Obviously, throughout your career you’re doing all those things. But it is the NHL, everything’s cranked up a notch.”

Hammond cranked it up more than a notch last spring when he was handed the starter’s role with the Ottawa Senators. Called up in February to serve as a backup when starter Craig Anderson was injured, he became the number-one netminder when Robyn Lehner was sidelined a few games later.

Hammond then went on an amazing run, first matching a record set by Boston Bruins netminder Frank Brimsek by allowing two or fewer goals in each of his first 12 games. He then went 20-1-2 (win-loss-tie) as a starter down the stretch as the Senators overcame a 14-point deficit to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Senators rewarded Hammond, demonstrating their faith in the netminder by trading Lehner in the offseason, all but ensuring Hammond a place on the NHL team for this season.

But he isn’t taking anything for granted, knowing his status as a major-league player can change at any time. He has put last year well behind him, and is looking ahead.

“I’ve always been someone who doesn’t really get too high or too low. When it (the record-setting run) was going on, I was going about my business and I don’t think it changed too much for me,” he said.

“Hitting the reset button wasn’t something I struggled with at all. There are people all over the world training each day to take your job and you need to remember that.”

In the offseason, he signed a one-way, three-year contract with the Senators worth $4.05 million, a significant boost from the two-year deal which expired at the end of last season and paid the 27-year-old netminder at a rate of $720,000 annually while in the NHL and $105,000 when in Binghamton.

“I don’t think it really changes anything

Surrey native Andrew Hammond practices with the Ottawa Senators last week at Canadian Tire Centre. The former Surrey Eagle is in the first year of a three-year contract with the NHL team. RICK KUPCHUK

for me,” he shrugged. “I’ve always been someone trying to be the best goalie I can be. It’s all I can ask for, and whether or not I have a contract that’s going to be my focus. That’s the only way you can really approach it and have success.

“Having a contract with an NHL team is one thing, and making it in the NHL is another.”

Many players give up on the dream of making it in the NHL Andrew Hammond when in their early 20s. Now 27, Hammond achieved the goal much later than most.

Having played just 25 NHL games prior to this season, he would still be considered a rookie if it not for his age. Firstyear players 26 and over are not considered rookies.

And Hammond himself wasn’t sure about an NHL career until he was playing with the Bowling Green Falcons of the National Collegiate Athletic Association

(NCAA). He joined the Ohio university on a hockey scholarship in 2009 after a three-year career in the BC Hockey League, which included a short stint with the Surrey Eagles. ▶ “When I left “My first year at Bowling for college, Green didn’t go great, then in it wasn’t in my second year I my mind that started hearing there was a bit I wouldn’t of interest,” he return recalled. “But you’re always home...” wondering, you don’t know exactly what that means.”

It was at Bowling Green he acquired the nickname The Hamburglar, a play on his name and his ability to steal games.

He had his best season in the fourth and final year with the Falcons, and the next season he was assigned to the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League after signing a two-year, two-way contract with Ottawa.

Even then, Hammond was giving his best, but not counting on getting a chance to play regularly at the NHL level.

“I knew I was going to give myself the best chance, and if it was meant to happen it would take care of itself,” he said.

“But it wasn’t something I could worry about.”

He doesn’t have to worry about it now, as he’s firmly entrenched as the backup goalie to Anderson this season, knowing the Senators have full confidence in his ability.

It’s a far cry from six years ago, when a Junior A standout was hoping to be able to make it as an NCAA goaltender, leaving his home in Surrey to play at a higher level on the other side of the continent.

“When I left for college, it wasn’t in my mind that I wouldn’t return home (to Surrey),” he said. “But it’s part of growing up and thinking about your job. After going to college and everything, things change.”

Rigid in his thinking of not looking to far ahead, Hammond is looking forward to Feb. 25, when the Senators are in Vancouver to play the Canucks at Rogers Arena.

“It will be special,” he admitted. “It’s the team I grew up following and cheering for. I went to a lot of games in that rink as a fan. To have more friends and family in the building it will make it that much more special.”

Both the men’s and women’s KPU Eagles teams lost to the visiting Columbia Bible College (CBC) Bearcats Friday night at the Surrey campus.

CBC began the night by dominating the women’s game and won 86-55, while the Bearcats edged KPU 85-82 in overtime in the men’s contest which followed.

CBC wasted little time taking a lead and extending it in the first game, leading 21-16 after the first quarter and 47-30 by half-time. They held the Eagles to just seven points in the third period, and took a 66-37 lead into the final 10 minutes.

Christina Brown was the top scorer for KPU, netting 14 points while adding three assists. Cyrena Timmins with 11 points and Desiree Lister with 10 also contributed to the Eagle offense. Simreet Burm and Harley Williams were the top rebounders with six each.

Wanted: Photos of adopted animals and owners

▶ BC SPCA CELEBRATING MILLIONTH ANIMAL ADOPTION THIS MONTH

The BC SPCA is set to adopt its one millionth animal later this month.

In celebration, anyone who has adopted animals from the BC SPCA over the past six decades is invited to post photos of themselves with their adopted pet (or a picture of the pet on its own) on the BC SPCA Facebook page (www. facebook.com/bcspca). Posting a photo will automatically enter you to win a new iPad Air, generously donated by TELUS, and using the hashtag #oneinamillion shows you’re a proud BC SPCA adoptive parent, whether past or present.

Everyone is invited to visit the Facebook photo gallery to view pictures of adopters and adoptees – what the organization is playfully referring to as BC SPCA alumni – over the past 60-odd years.

“This is the BC SPCA’s 120th year in operation but the society didn’t start its adoption program until the 1950s when it began building animal shelters across the province,” says general manager of Community Relations, Lorie Chortyk. “We are very excited that we will be adopting out our one millionth animal this month, but we also want to recognize and honour the 999,999 other people who provided wonderful, loving homes for the animals we’ve rescued over the past decades.”

While this celebration is in recognition of past adoptees, there are hundreds more beautiful animals awaiting adoption in the province right now. With more than 28,000 animals taken into BC SPCA care each year, there are always furry friends waiting for their forever homes.

To enter the #oneinamillion photo contest, go to the BC SPCA Facebook page until Nov. 20 and click on the ‘photo con-

African Children’s Choir ‘upbeat, hopeful’ 3-D

story world at SFU Surrey

▶ TWO FREE CONCERTS IN SURREY NOV. 12 AND 13 MIRANDA GATHERCOLE

It was more than just their voices that captured Sarah Lidstone’s heart.

The songs of the African Children’s Choir told stories beyond what the lyrics said.

“It’s very upbeat and hopeful and joyful,” said Lidstone, the North America Choir Operations Manager for the African Children’s Choir, which is based out of Langley.

“It’s a concert where the children all come from very needy backgrounds. You see children where, even though they don’t have very much, they still have joy and hope.”

The choir was founded 30 years ago to provide education to children in Uganda, and audiences around the world.

Comprised of 18 Ugandan children, the group is touring the United States, Canada

and the United Kingdom before returning back to Africa where the children will attend school.

All of the students are sponsored for their education until they finish university in their early 20s.

Through their parent company, Music for Life, which works in several

countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, more than 52,000 children have received education since they began.

For Lidstone, who started with the choir in 2008 and has chaperoned past tours, the experience is “inspirational.”

“It melts down peo-

Register

ple’s hearts,” she said.

“When we tour the children stay for one night with a family, and the families are in tears the next day saying goodbye to them. Just having the children in their homes for one night, it really impacts them.”

Performing a mix

of Ugandan songs, gospel and traditional drumming, the choir is hosting two free shows in Surrey in November.

The first, on Nov. 12 is at the Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150 St. at 7 p.m. The second, on Nov. 15 is at the Legacy-A Church of the Nazarene, 9012 160 St.

Circa 1948, a groundbreaking and immersive interactive storyworld co-created by the National Film Board of Canada’s (NFB) award-winning Digital Studio in Vancouver and internationally acclaimed artist Stan Douglas, is open for viewing at SFU’s Surrey campus until Nov. 13.

Circa 1948 takes audiences on a nonlinear journey of discovery through two vibrant communities struggling in a time of unforgiving change: an old hotel in Vancouver’s affluent West Side, squatted by homeless war veterans, or the muddy streets of the ethnically diverse Hogan’s Alley in the working-class East Side, populated by racial minorities, gamblers, prostitutes and corrupt police officers.

The project is an extension of Douglas’s historically based recombinant storytelling into the interactive world, and attempts to evolve a new visual and narrative language. It makes use of emerging technologies to offer multiple entry points into an imagined world, created using photorealistic 3D illustrations and based on extensive historical research carried out by Douglas.

The installation, located in the mezzanine, has been brought to campus by SFU Woodward’s Cultural programs, in collaboration with the Vancouver International Film Festival and the NFB as part of SFU’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.

In addition to being recognized by TELUS, Crosland has been awarded $2,000 to help further her Internet and smartphone safety initiatives.

Crosland, one of five winners from

across Canada, is a teacher and librarian at Georges Vanier Elementary School with a high at-risk student population.

She believes Internet safety is not a topic to be taught in isolation and encourages students to use personal devices for learning, incorporating Internet and smartphone safety into her digital lessons while encouraging parents to also engage with their children on the topic.

TELUS WISE is provides free education and resources about online safety and security for Canadian families.

“We’re thrilled to bring our teams together in one centralized location,” said Gavin Toy, president and CEO of Westminster Savings. “We believe that this will help create a more integrated environment to position our organization for enhanced success and longterm growth and allow our credit union to provide even greater value for our members.
