RESIDENTS CONCERNED

Siamand Maroofi and his wife, Maryam, moved into Maple Place Towers about six months ago. Since then, the couple says management has not been attentive enough when it comes to fixing problems inside and outside the building. One of their concerns is the elevator, which they claim has gotten stuck a few times. Maryam told the NOW she once made a trip down to the laundry room while her newborn daughter was sleeping, and when she was in the elevator, the thought of it getting stuck crossed her mind.

Tenant cries foul on faulty towers Unlocked doors and an elevator that breaks down and traps tenants between floors among the issues Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A tenant of a North Burnaby highrise wants the property manager to address numerous safety issues that he says have recently plagued the building. Siamand Maroofi, his wife and their 14-month-old daughter moved into Maple Place Towers on Halifax Street four months ago. Since then, Maroofi, who owns two properties himself, said he has witnessed a host

of problems, including a broken door at the front entrance that has yet to be fixed. “For three weeks now, you can’t open it from the inside when it’s closed; there’s no way out,” he told the NOW. “Instead of taking care of it, they kept the door open with a big stone.” Worried about his family’s safety, Maroofi approached management last week to ask when the broken door will be fixed. Assistant manager Leo Leon responded with “later,” according to a video recording of the verbal exchange, shot by Maroofi.

have been other similar incidents. “I understand older stuff breaks down, but if anything gets to that point, I think it needs to be changed. It’s more of a safety concern,” Maroofi said. When asked about the elevator occurrence, Lubczyk said she wasn’t aware of the matter and couldn’t comment.The elevator, she noted, is up to code and is inspected every month by the operating company. The garage door, meanwhile, broke down about a month ago and wasn’t fixed for two weeks, Maroofi said. There was another weekend he said his shower broke, and he was told on a Friday evening it couldn’t be fixed until Monday Continued on page 4

The NOW has confirmed the lock was recently removed to allow the door to open and shut. When reached by the NOW, property manager Daria Lubczyk said a new door has been ordered, but it will take up to eight weeks for it to arrive. “It’s a long process. Nothing can be done in one day,” she said. Lubczyk added having no lock is “not a safety issue, it’s not any issue.” Another mechanical problem tenants have had to deal with, Maroofi noted, is the elevator. A few months ago, a young girl who lives in the building was trapped on the 11th floor for two hours, he said, adding there

Newsnow THE PIPELINE

Was NEB appointment a set up? City council wonders if action was intended to stall pipeline hearings until after the federal election Jennifer Moreau and Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council is questioning whether the Conservatives’ appointment of oil industry expert Steven Kelly to the National Energy Board was a strategic move to stall the hearings until after the federal election. Kinder Morgan submitted Kelly’s economic analysis to the NEB hearing, to support the pipeline expansion, but last week, the board announced the hearings are on hold and Kelly’s evidence will now be stricken from the record. At Monday night’s council meeting, Coun. Dan Johnston suggested the timing of everything was “a little suspicious.” “They’re saying it’s unfortunate they have to suspend the process, but I think it’s intentional in the fact that by stalling it, they’re not getting the political flak from those opposed to it,” he said. Mayor Derek Corrigan wouldn’t go as far as agreeing with Johnston but did say he found last week’s events “surprising” and “coincidental.” “It’s clear that the chair-

man of the board, Peter Watson, was informed about and discussed the appointment of Mr. Kelly,” Corrigan told the NOW. “He initially came out and defended the appointment of Mr. Kelly and then several weeks later, they’re suddenly throwing out all this evidence from the Kinder Morgan hearing. I

The timing is ‘a little suspicious’

think that almost every citizen, as soon as Mr. Kelly was appointed, immediately said, ‘Oh my gosh, this is a conflict.’ I wonder why it took Mr. Watson so long to figure that out.” It’s not clear how long the hearings will be postponed, but the federal election is set for Oct. 19. Kinder Morgan was set to present its plan to replace Kelly’s evidence on Friday, as per the NEB’s direction, so the hearings could be back on track soon. Kelly’s appointment starts on Oct. 13, and he will not sit on the threeperson panel reviewing the

PIPELINE POLITICS? More than 100 people were arrested last fall at the height of protests against Kinder Morgan’s survey work on Burnaby Mountain. Now, city councillors and the mayor are wondering if the recent Steven Kelly NEB appointment and subsequent conflict-of-interest delay was timed to push the hearings past the election period. PHOTO FILE Kinder Morgan file, nor will the panel consult with Kelly when deliberating their final recommendation to cabinet, which is due Jan. 26, 2016. The NOW briefly spoke with David Hamilton, one of the three panel members. The decision to halt the hearing and remove Kelly’s evidence came from the panel, not the larger board, Hamilton confirmed. The order

was issued in a letter dated Aug. 21. “It was the panel absolutely,” Hamilton said. “The letter speaks for itself, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to make any comment on it than what was in the letter.” When asked how much the NEB knew about Kelly’s appointment, Hamilton referred the NOW to Watson, chair of the board, but Watson is refusing to

do interviews on the matter, according to Tara O’Donovan, an NEB communications staffer. “I’m clarifying for you what we already said: we will not answer any other questions regarding the appointment process. That’s Privy Council’s jurisdiction to speak to, not ours, and our panel has already issued a statement regarding the hearing process. Our letter and our news release

is our statement on that issue,” O’Donovan said. But the letter and news release leave many unanswered questions: Did Watson raise the conflict-of-interest issue when Kelley’s appointment was being discussed? If not, why? The NOW also contacted the Office of the Privy Council, which did not respond by deadline.

Tanker ban sought

Green party wants to end diluted bitumen shipments Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Lynne Quarmby, the science-professor-turnedGreen-candidate, is calling for a ban on supertankers, including vessels shipping diluted bitumen from Kinder Morgan’sWestridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. Quarmby, along with the Green’s federal leader Elizabeth May, talked about the party’s plan to ban supertankers on B.C.’s coast at an Aug.18 event inVictoria. The ban would include

Aframax tankers, the midsized vessels many of Kinder Morgan’s customers currently use to fill up with oil at theWestridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, but only ones carrying diluted bitumen, according to Quarmby. “There’s a higher risk to that,” she said. “One of the things I think is least appreciated, … is the ‘dil’ part, the diluents, they are volatile chemicals.They separate out of this stuff and go into the air. … They are neurotoxins. …When I work with small volumes of these chemicals

in the lab, I do it with a fume hood.” Quarmby is running in Burnaby North-Seymour, the riding that encompasses the Kinder Morgan pipeline terminus and theWestridge dock. She was also among the hundreds arrested on Burnaby Mountain last fall, while protesting the pipeline. There are already restrictions in place that keep loaded tankers away from B.C.’s coast, but they only apply to vessels visiting theTransAlaska Pipeline System in Valdez, Alaska.

Tower trouble Continued from page 1 morning because maintenance crews “don’t work on weekends.” The NOW also confirmed there’s a missing floor plan in the basement near the laundry room, which Maroofi said is worrisome should there be a fire. “They’re just being disrespectful.This building is mainly elderly and newcomers. It is a bit more affordable, let’s be realistic, but we all still pay rent. It

doesn’t mean our life has no value,” Maroofi said. “I can’t just pick up and move every six months.” Tenants with safety concerns are being instructed to voice their concerns by visiting the management office, according to Lubczyk. “It would be the best approach,” she said. Maple Place Towers is owned by Cressey Development and managed by Nacel Properties.

Shots reported – but no evidence Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Turns out a busy evening for Burnaby RCMP wasn’t as busy as first reported. Other media outlets reported several violent incidents around the city early Wednesday morning, including a shooting near Sperling Avenue and Beresford Street and an assault. However, Burnaby RCMP say there was no

shooting, instead what the residents in the area likely heard was a crash from a nearby car accident. Burnaby RCMP have confirmed officers were called to Edmonds Street and Mary Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. on Wednesday after reports of a possible assault. Mounties are still trying to determine what happened, and at this time, there are no suspects.

Burnaby biz closing after lengthy legal battle Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Anyone who has wandered up Gilmore Avenue from Lougheed Highway has probably encountered the scent of mouth-watering sausages and smoked meats wafting through the air. That smell has emanated from International Sausage House Ltd. at Gilmore Avenue and Halifax Street for years, but it will soon be no more. Staff at the shop confirmed the store will be closing this September. The NOW spoke with a man who identified himself as the owner and gave his name as Peter, but he refused to speak about the closure. A photo of a closure notice was posted to Twitter by @TFAtweets, whose profile states he is a cook in Vancouver. “It is with great sadness that we have to announce that as a result of a recent court decision we are no longer able to sustain our business, despite best ef-

forts to do so, and we will be closing down our operations,” the notice stated. “Thank you for all your support over the years.We would not have been here all these years without your loyal and continuous patronage.”

About 40 employees are losing their livelihood…

The notice also states that the business has 40 employees, which a recent letter writer also told the NOW. “As a regular customer of International Sausage on Gilmore Street, I am saddened to hear the news of them closing down this September,” Greg Swannie wrote in a letter to the editor. “About 40 employees are losing their livelihood due to the land being developed into a highrise.” The shop was at the cen-

tre of a legal dispute regarding the length of the lease, and whether or not Peter Karwowski, who owns International Sausage House Ltd. and whose parents owned a third of the property it’s on, had the right of first refusal to purchase the property. The other two owners, the Hammer family (represented by Charl and Harvey Hammer, executors of the will of Leon Hammer) and Rudolph Gutfreund, had agreed to sell their interests in the property to Millennium Development Group. The developer planned to purchase it as part of a package of properties for its highrise development. In a July 3 decision, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher found the 2007 lease to the shop was not renewed and expired on June 30, 2012, and that there was no right of first refusal. In his decision, he stated that Karwowski was liable for interference with economic relations and found in favour of Millennium Development Group

City eyes hiking ﬁnes Higher fines for breaking the city’s waterworks bylaw could come into effect next month. City council received a report at Monday night’s meeting, outlining the many amendments that would be made to the bylaw should it pass. The flat fine of $50 for watering outside of designated areas would be eliminated, the report read. Replacing it would be fines based on each of the four stages of water restrictions.

For example, watering outside designated times during Stage 1 carries a $150 penalty, while Stage 2 and Stage 3 have $250 and $350 fines, respectively. Should Burnaby reach Stage 4, prohibited watering could mean a $500 ticket. The bylaw needed to be amended, according to Leon Gous, Burnaby’s director of engineering, because it hadn’t been done since 2003. “If we do see a bit more of these, we want to make

sure we have a really escalating disincentive to break the restriction,” he said. “We haven’t gone as extreme as Richmond, but we’re certainly not the lowest.” Gous added there isn’t much distinction between first and second offence in the bylaw amendments because the fines should be seen as a last resort. “We believe there has to be a good balance between good education and communication,” he said. –TerezaVerenca

in the ruling, assessing the damages owed to Millennium at $2.2 million. He also found in favour of the Hammer family and Gutfreund regarding damages for slander of title, consisting of interest on the net proceeds of the sale (which was $2.3 million) at a rate of five per cent per year since March 29, 2013, according to the judgement. Kelleher also found that the shop should have been paying a higher rent rate from July 2012 to June 2015 as the lease had expired, meaning Karwowski would owe the Hammers and Gutfreund $19,446 each for that time period. The dispute stalled Millennium’s plans for the site, which included a 46-storey highrise tower with a threestorey townhouse podium facing Halifax Street. Millennium Development has developed other highrises in the city, including One University Crescent on Burnaby Mountain.The company also designed and built the Olympic Village community in Vancouver.

On Aug. 15, rates for cars, pick-up trucks and SUVs rose 15 cents per crossing. If you’re a regular bridge user, commuting to work Monday to Friday, that’s $1.50 more each week. Again, not much. But over the course of a month, it’s an extra $6.50.

In a year, it’s an extra $78. Your grand total to cross the bridge will now be $1,638. TI Corp., which saw traffic across the Port Mann decline in 2014 after ending half-price introductory tolls in December 2013, claims numbers have picked up recently, with year-overyear growth for the last seven months. The increase in fees, it says, is needed to pay for operating and maintenance

costs, like clearing debris. Oh, and that bothersome $3.6-billion debt, due by 2050.

Increases just force drivers to the ‘free’ bridges The problem with the 15cent increase is that each

time rates rise, more drivers head for the Pattullo. People aren’t always rational, and sometimes it feels better to avoid the toll, even if that means idling in gridlocked New Westminster and burning more than enough gas to cancel out any savings. TI Corp. seems to be taking a B.C. Ferries-approach to managing the bridge, by turning drivers off with rising fees.The difference is you can choose not to travel

to the Island for a vacation, but you can’t choose not to cross the Fraser for work, unless you want to find a different job. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. If the cost of living in Metro Vancouver weren’t so exorbitant – B.C. is now known as “Bring Cash” not just to people in Alberta, but increasingly, to those in the rest of Canada and even some in the U.S. – we’d say

it’s no big deal and drivers should just suck up this $78-per-year increase. But with so many people struggling with massive mortgage payments, high gas prices and other costs, maybe TI Corp. should drop toll rates and go for volume instead. It might end up getting more revenue in the long run. COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW DERMOD TRAVIS

Local gov’ts on the defensive Last week, the Union of B.C. Municipalities released its report on the operations of B.C.’s Auditor General for Local Government. It paints a less than flattering picture of the office — no surprise given that the UBCM was hardly a fan of the concept in the first place. The report’s findings are based on a survey of 17 communities that had contact with the auditor general, and they didn’t pull any punches in their observations: “uninformed, obvious confusion, disarray, fails to meet deadlines, disorganized, mishandles information.” But there is something puzzling about the report. You’re left with the impression the auditor general idea happened in a vacuum. From the report: “While it may be possible to renew the operational approach of the AGLG to better serve local governments, it is unlikely this will be achieved without substantive consultation.” Consultation certainly wasn’t lacking when the auditor general developed its annual service plans in 2013. The UBCM executive met B.C.’s first auditor general for local government, Basia Ruta, at its January 2013 meeting, just a week after she was appointed to the job.They met again in February and in March at the UBCM’s regional district CAO/chairs meeting. The auditor general held

a two-day strategic planning workshop that April with key stakeholders, including the UBCM, local government associations and performance audit experts. There was a one-day performance audit planning workshop with senior staff from 20 local governments, which was followed by an online audit planning survey sent to every single chief administrative officer in the province. One of the themes was emergency management and protective services, and, if the UBCM survey is any indication, that one hit a nerve. One community with RCMP policing commented that since it had very little discretion over the terms of its policing contract, “the AGLG is not quite sure how to assess our situation.” Another claimed that the “auditors appeared to have very little background information regarding municipal police unit agreements.” If policing was going to be so problematic, why didn’t someone catch it earlier on in the consultations before it was assigned as an audit topic? When asked to comment on the value of the three reports publicly available during the survey, only two of the 17 agreed they provided “valuable information that will contribute to the improvement of their operations.” DermodTravis is the executive director of Integrity B.C., www.integritybc.ca.

NDP bewilders reader

Readers recount memories of PNE

Dear Editor Can you follow how the NDP supporters and their leaders think? Let me take that back. My mouth is wide open and I am scratching my head … I am talking about Mr. Kennedy Stewart’s latest election flyer. In all fairness, Mr. Stewart did not know at the time his flyer went to print that Canada was just declared the No. 1 country in the world by the Reputation Institute. He did know, however, that The New York Times admitted in the beginning of the year, the Canadian middle class has surpassed the income and lifestyle of those living in the U.S. For the first time ever! Nevertheless, Mr. Stewart claims: “… after a decade of Stephen Harper, that middle-class dream is fading for many Canadians.” Besides having reduced taxes 150 times on Mr. Harper’s watch, his government now boasts that Canadians are paying the lowest taxes in 50 years. Then Mr. Stewart suggests how to remedy the situation: “Ease the small business tax rate from 11 per cent to nine per cent to spur growth among Canada’s top job creators.” He also reminds us that we have lost 400,000 manufacturing jobs since 2008. As was quoted in the National Post on July 17 but not mentioned by Mr. Stewart, 212,000 of these jobs were lost in Ontario and 100,000 in Quebec. As we all know, both provinces do not share Mr. Harper’s economic views and are on a path of self-destruction. They are now eagerly imitated by the new premier of Alberta. But let’s blame Harper anyway? There is more! “Tom Mulcair has a plan to create the middle-class jobs we need: Help municipalities to upgrade infrastructure, creating good engineering and construction jobs.” The last time I checked there were hundreds of millions of dollars in Mayor Derek Corrigan’s kitty. If our infrastructure needs fixing this badly and it can only be done by creating new jobs, why wait? Who votes for a politician who spouts such blatant contradictions? Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

Not so fond farewell Dear Editor Ode to Stephen (or Requiem) When one becomes 90 years old, It is time to behave I am told, To sit in a chair, I just couldn’t bear, The very idea leaves me cold! So I promise I’ll do what I can To right a few wrongs is my plan I’ll take aim at Harper We need someone sharper He must go and the rest of his clan. His ego is a real disaster His MPs know he’s the master They’re ever so meek And don’t dare speak So they’ll get to the Senate much faster. Come October we’re going to get even We’ll vote to dispose of Stephen It’s time for a change So this we’ll arrange So we can live happily ever after. Betty Griffin, Burnaby

CARING FOR YOU AND YOUR PEARLY WHITES

Stacy Wallwork My favourite part of the fair is that it’s summer tradition. I like being able to take my kids somewhere my parents took me as a child. I love the super dogs, the coaster and trying to win a house or car every summer. Lexia Joy Nash I love the PNE! I take my boys almost every year and really enjoy seeing how much fun they have at the different kids shows, petting zoo and enjoying all the food. My favourite part though, I’d say it’s the live nightly concerts! Michelle Martin-Devins Just recently attended playland (loved the haunted house lol) and would love to visit the pne!

Kinder Morgan presenting Friday Lesslie Askin From the article ... “it’s the Governor in Council (advised by cabinet) that makes the final call on appointments.” That statement obscures the practical reality of the matter, which is that under a majority government the PRIME MINISTER (Harper at present) INFORMS the Governor General WHO TO APPOINT to each and every important government role (Senators, Judges, Board Members, whatever). The Governor General has absolutely no say in the matter; he is bound by the will of Parliament, and under a majority government that “parliamentary will” is solely determined by the Prime Minister. Period, exclamation point. That’s a major (and important) difference from the implication which this article conveys (which is merely the formal process, not where the decisionmaking power resides).

Best of the rest @edmondsburnaby Edmonds Business & Community Assoc. @edmondsburnaby has now reached 4000 followers, larger than BBOT. Thanks 4 support. LouK This (SFU Pipe Band) is one fine band.

Defective pipes didn’t slow roadwork – city

Water mains are being replaced throughout Burnaby Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

A problem with a batch of pipes used by the city to replace a water main on Government Road is not slowing down the work, according to James Lota, the city’s assistant director of engineering. “We’re using the same standard pipe that we use all over the city, and there’s no problem with it. “We’ve been using it for many, many years, it’s just this one batch that has an issue,” he told the NOW. “But I’m told it’s not a big issue.They’re still on schedule, on budget, and they still expect to be on schedule and on budget.” The batch had a manufacturers’ defect but it was a minor issue, he said. “The contractor is working out some issues with the Pipe problems: City contractors received a batch of defective pipes recently for the water main replacement work being done underneath Government Road, but the city says it didn’t affect the timeline or budget.

pipe that came in, but it’s normal stuff.We’re not incurring any extra costs,” Lota said.

They’re still on schedule, on budget… Burnaby’s water main renewal project has been taking place throughout the city for the past few years, part of an effort to deal with aging infrastructure.The project has cost millions annually. “The water main we’re replacing is actually 1950s vintage, so that’s why we’re replacing it,” Lota said. While replacing city water mains, contractors are often also repairing roads and storm drains.

“We’re doing some water main replacement there, a storm sewer realignment and some road upgrades,” Lota said. “It’s pretty standard stuff.” In 2013, city staff compiled a report on Burnaby’s infrastructure challenges. As of April 2013, the city currently had about $300 million of asset replacement backlogged, and invested $40 million into replacing it annually, estimated to increase to $50 million annually for the next 30 years to keep up with the aging infrastructure. Municipal governments are responsible for 60 per cent of Canada’s infrastructure, including roads, sewers, bridges, buildings and water mains, and receive eight cents of every income tax dollar towards the costs.

Burnaby’s New Kids on the Block

By Olivia Leyser

“The amount of change a single person can make is incredible” says 16 year old Puloma Kaushal, on the volunteer work that she has done in her community. Along with her friend Navien Kumar, Kaushal has spent countless hours volunteering her time instead of spending it in front of a screen like many kids her age. In a world where digital technology continues to captivate kids, Kaushal and Kumar emerge as a new generation of caring and community minded youth. Their devotion to volunteerism is a point of inspiration not only for their fellow students, but for all ages alike. These bright students, about to enter grade 11 at Burnaby Central Secondary School, are leaders in their community and in their school. They have been working at Volunteer Burnaby Special Events regularly over the past year and are some the organizations youngest and most dedicated volunteers. Further involved with their school’s Business Club and Global Action Against Poverty group, they also help out at countless school events and fundraisers, but their dedication does not stop there. Kaushal’s passion for volunteering is inspired by her parents’ generosity to those in need and by their community involvement back at home in India. In 2015 alone Kaushal has devoted over 200 hours of her time volunteering. She has spent her summer vacation volunteering at UBC’s Public Speaking/Debate summer camps, and at special events both with Volunteer Burnaby and the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Although she is extremely busy, she is happy as a clam and wouldn’t change a thing, “it has made me strive to be the best person I possibly can” she says. Kaushal also volunteers at the Harmony

Court Care Centre for seniors diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. With her friendly smile and cheerful laugh there is no doubt that seniors and children alike would value their time with her. Kaushal is currently preparing to volunteer at the hospital, something she envisions herself doing career-wise in the future. She

he volunteers at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, and at Metrotown’s Light Room. Kumar is looking forward to the upcoming year and to doing bigger and better things, perhaps volunteering at Science World or the Vancouver Aquarium. Above all else Kumar and Kaushal agree

always enjoyable, making it an excellent organization for new volunteers” says Kaushal. While Kumar encourages that “Anyone looking to volunteer should go to Volunteer Burnaby who are always at the front lines of events like Hats Off Day and the Edmonds City fair.” Kaushal and Kumar rarely feel like they are working when they are volunteering, but rather like they are spending a fun afternoon with a friend. Volunteer Burnaby takes this to heart and believes that volunteering should ultimately be about building a positive experience.

Volunteers Navien Kumar (left) and Puloma Kaushal also hope to use this as a stepping stone towards an international humanitarian trip providing medical aid in developing countries. While Kumar may be quiet and modest, he is as ambitious as they come and dreams of one day attending Business School. The thing about volunteering he says is that most people think it is all about giving, but it is actually a mutual experience. Kumar is thankful for all he has gained out of his volunteer work, “It has really opened doors for me and made me a much more social person” he says. Along with Kumar’s work with Volunteer Burnaby,

volunteering with seniors has been the most rewarding of their positions. They both enjoy spending time with seniors who share their experiences and childhood memories. Kaushal says she loves to cheer them up, and even though it can be emotionally difficult working with the terminally ill, it is always rewarding to put a smile on their face. Working with Volunteer Burnaby has been a positive experience for both Kaushal and Kumar and they agree that it is a great resource for new volunteers. “Volunteer Burnaby has a great variety opportunities and the experiences are

A SPECIAL THANK YOU The staff at Volunteer Burnaby would like to send out a special thank you to SFU co-op students Olivia Leyser and Jamal Dumas. We were fortunate enough to work with these two bright young students throughout the summer, Olivia as the Volunteer Burnaby Special Events

Students these days are faced with an abundance of ways to spend their time. Volunteering can be a great avenue for them to develop new skills as well as to become more proactive, appreciative and well-rounded. Volunteer Burnaby works closely with high school and post-secondary students looking to find positions that put them on track towards accomplishing future goals or even simply to complete their required 30 hours of volunteer experience. Kaushal and Kumar have certainly gone above and beyond this required quota, putting them well on their way to accomplishing bigger and better things in years to come.

Patricia Tallman Occupation SCIENTIST Why is she in the news?

Patricia Tallman, author of The Restore-Our-Planet Diet: Food Choice, Our Environment, and Our Health, wants people to start thinking of how their everyday food choices affect the planet. In her newly-published book, Tallman delves into the statistics behind meat and dairy consumption, and how reducing it, or completely cutting it out and going vegan, can reduce one’s eco-footprint. The solution, she says, is making small changes in our diets to reduce the amount of meat we eat on a daily basis. “Just moving away from meat one day a week is more effective (in terms of energy efficiency and environmental health) than buying everything you eat

What inspired you to write this book? There were two reasons actually.The first was, I didn’t have pets until I was much older. For the first time, I became more attuned to animals as beings, just like humans, that have feelings and desires. I began to think, what about other animals? I’m sure they value their lives and family structures, too. After I educated myself, my husband and I, independently of each other, then decided to become vegan. After about a decade, I felt that it was important

locally,” she quotes from the Harvard Business Review in her book. Some of the benefits that come with a vegan lifestyle include a lower risk of breast or prostate cancer, according to Tallman. The Burnaby NOW caught up with Tallman, who has a doctorate in water resources engineering and a master’s degree in environmental engineering sciences, to talk about how realistic it is to become vegan and what can people do on an individual level if they choose not to make the full transition. The book, meanwhile, is on loan at the Burnaby Public Library. More information can be found at www. restoreourplanetdiet.com. –TerezaVerenca

to spread the message. Perhaps there are other people who are just uninformed like I was, and wouldn’t it be nice if they could learn about everything that I now know in one source. How are some of the food choices we make on a daily basis linked to environmental issues? Animal agriculture is more damaging to the environment than any other human activity, and that has been indicated by global organizations, like the UN, Sierra Club, the Union of Concerned Scientists, just to name a few. Animal agriculture is responsible for a wide ranging number of environmental degradation.

EATING FOR THE PLANET Patricia Tallman links meat and dairy consumption to multiple environmental issues in her new book, The Restore-Our-Planet Diet: Food Choices, Our Environment, and Our Health. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED That includes, water pollution, water shortage, climate change, which we hear so much about, but a lot of people do not make the connection between our food choices and climate change land degradation, habitat loss and species extinction, the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are also a result of animal agriculture. Rainforest destruction, food scarcity and also the rise of super weeds. So, you can see it has far reaching implications. You write about the many “environmental savings” and the health benefits that would result from everyone shifting towards a plant-based

diet (veganism). Can you provide an example? I took a traditional comfort food recipe, like the Sloppy Joe and veganized the recipe by keeping all things the same so that people know when you go plant-based, it’s not a big learning curve.You just substitute the animal protein with plant protein, which in this case, I used ground-up firm tofu.You would save close to 7,000 litres of water, close to 40 pounds of manure and 11 kilograms of what’s called CO2 equivalent. So, for this recipe for four people, that means you would save enough greenhouse gas to drive 40 kilometres.There’s a famous quote, which says, “A veg-

etarian in a Hummer produces fewer greenhouse emissions than a meat eater in a Toyota Prius.” Given the meat industry and the more than 70 billion farmed animals worldwide annually, how realistic of a goal is veganism on such a large scale? Of course, it would be best if people go vegan, but that’s an expectation that might be too high.We don’t expect the whole world to do this and we don’t expect it to happen overnight.The point is that any replacement of animal protein with plant protein is better than none. As long as you replace one meal, you’re doing

something for the environment, you’re doing something for your health because there’s absolutely no cholesterol in plant foods, and of course, you’re saving animal lives. An animal didn’t have to be born, to be raised to suffer and then killed. So the more plantbased you go, the greater the benefits to everybody. Where else do you get your protein from? Plant foods that are high in protein are legumes, and legumes include soy beans and peanuts, beans, chickpeas, lentils, dried peas.This whole umbrella of legumes is a powerhouse of protein.

Stingray

Drive it and you’ll wonder why it doesn’t cost more BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Everything else now tastes like styrofoam. Seriously, one splash of ‘Vette hot sauce and even a tuner car starts feeling like the turbocharger fell off. This is GM’s ﬂagship, the best thing they make (that isn’t a truck). For years it’s been a performance benchmark that many respected – even while complaining about the seats. Well, they’ve ﬁxed the seats, and the entire interior. And everything else is better too. Even though this version of the General’s ballistic missile should be tame, equipped as it is with satellite navigation and an automatic transmission, it is not. It’s a beast, a fry-your neurons machine with a removable roof and a push-button starter. The Chevrolet Corvette is all-new. However, it’s still all old-school too – and that’s a good thing.

Design:

More angular than ever, Chevy’s design team took the curving cues of past Corvettes and basically threw them out the window. This new Stingray is all sharp cuts and pointy bits, an arrowhead chipped from obsidian. I think it looks great apart from the very front end: there’s something just a bit too frog-like about that straight-across grille. However, every other facet of this thing is a masterpiece, from the quad-exhaust trumpets out back to the historic-inspired side-badge to the vents in the hood that let out wavy heat in the cool air. This particular tester is spec’d as a something of a cruiser, ﬁtted with staggered, split-spoke 19” and 20” alloys front and back, without having the Z51 performance package. If it were my ‘Vette, I’d be spending money on the go-fast stuff and leaving the shiny bits on the table. Still, even the most-basic Corvette looks the business.

Environment:

It feels like it was engineered by hot rodders and computer scientists alike, and when you poke it with a stick it wakes up in a hurry.

But then, they pretty much always did. The problem with the Corvette for the last several decades hasn’t been the looks or the performance, but the way the interior was always a bit of a let-down. Step inside and you could see where the costcutting came from. Here though, it’s as good inside as out. The seats are the biggest improvement, comfortable enough for a cruise to Bowling Green while bolstered enough for a quick autocross session. Add in swathes of leather, an instrument panel that doesn’t just look up-to-date but is actually ahead of the curve, and easy to use infotainment, and you’ve got a real winner. Looking around for things to complain about, a simple map-button to pull up the navigation would be nice, but really, the Corvette now has the interior quality and look to match its price. Sit in one, and you don’t even need to drive it to see why it’s a $60-90,000 car. Drive it though, and you’ll wonder why it doesn’t cost more.

Performance:

Did I say cruiser? I meant cruise missile. Dawdling along on the Sea-to-Sky behind your usual oblivious rental RV, a brief passing lane opened up. I judged the gap, ﬁgured it was big enough, walked on the accelerator. Under the Corvette’s long hood, a bomb went off. The all-aluminum 6.2L LT1 V8 in this car isn’t some high-strung, rev-needy turbine. It feels like it was built by the people who produced the B-17 Flying Fortress and Indy 500 winners and Bonneville Salt Flat racers.

For this year, the Corvette gets a new eight-speed automatic transmission with paddleshifters that’s the equal of that found in the Jaguar F-Type. But heck, you could hook that V8 up to a Conestoga wagon and it’d make the thing scoot. 455hp comes snarling out almost immediately, with a torque peak of 470lb-ft rocketing you forward. The nose lifts in pure old-school ‘Vette fashion, you dust off everyone in sight, and then you look down at the speedometer and apply the brakes quickly. Holy Dinah: it’s a ‘Vette all right. Throw the Stingray through a few corners or around a skidpad, and it’s equally wonderful, despite not having the catlike quickness available with the handling package. There are multiple modes for both traction control and driveline management, but you best be ginger on the throttle if you completely defeat the traction control. In the dry, it’ll spin the tires from a rest without hesitation. In the wet – well, just make sure your life insurance is up to date. And for all that madness, the new Stingray is something of a pussycat. It’ll make distance easily, is relatively quiet at speed (road noise splits the difference between the old 997 Porsche 911 and the new 991), and will even return liveable fuel economy on the highway. It’s wonderful, all the best of the old and the new combined together. Sell your kids and buy a Night Race Blue one with the stick-shift.

Features:

Chevy’s MyLink system anchors the infotainment for the Corvette, and is simple and easy to use, with nice big touchscreen buttons. It includes the Siri system to control compatible phones. Fuel economy ﬁgures for the automatic-equipped ‘Vette are set at 8.1L/100kms on the highway, and 14.6L/100kms in the city. If you’re driving it quickly on a lonely road, it’ll burn far more fuel, but will easily match the highway mileage on the way there.

Green Light:

Power!; great styling; comfortable seats and greatly improved ﬁt and ﬁnish; all around performance

Stop Sign:

A handful in the wet; limited storage with targa roof off; seating position still a little high

The Checkered Flag:

A full modernized and updated take on the Corvette, all without losing the car’s rowdy soul.

Eating for the planet doesn’t have to cost a lot Continued from page 11

Not only does it provide protein, it gives you lots of fibre, which helps you lower cholesterol, keeps you full longer so you don’t overeat, and also has lots of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It has everything good for your body. University of Southern California researchers did a study in

2014.They found that those who ate an animal-rich diet were four times more likely to die from cancer than those eating low protein, particularly if the protein derives from animals. And it was equivalent to being as bad for you as smoking.The risk of developing cancer was as high as smoking 20 cigarettes per day.

Trip changes student’s view

A journey south taught one Moscrop student to see her neighbours in a different light. Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A trip to the U.S. has changed one Burnaby student’s preconceptions of our neighbours to the south. Moscrop Grade 11 student Ariel Pan spent three weeks in the U.S. this summer exploring civic education, community service, leadership development and entrepreneurship in the Youth Ambassadors Program (YAP). Put on by the U.S. Embassy in conjunction with the State University of New York and Fulbright Canada, the program took Pan to the American Embassy in Ottawa, Plattsburgh, N.Y., Hyde Park, N.Y., NewYork City and Washington D.C. – where she and her fellow youth ambassadors met with senior officials of the Department of State and the Embassy of Canada. “I’ll admit that I had preconceived ideas of politics and the U.S. prior to my participation inYAP,” Pan told the NOW in an email, “and not all of them were positive. However, this journey changed my views. I saw that the U.S. is not the glamorous place I see in the media, nor is she a country that underestimates Canada. Instead, I saw that the U.S. is, in fact, a country full of citizens who value the relationship between us, and recognize challenges in their country.” Pan was one of three young people from B.C. and 15 from across Canada picked for the trip, which included a week-and-a-half stay with an American family in historic Plattsburgh.

“Plattsburgh is a beautiful, friendly town full of history and things to see,” Pan said, “and I’m so privileged to have had the opportunity to see the place not as a tourist but as a welcomed temporary community member.”

I saw that the U.S. is not the glamorous place I see in the media, nor is she a country that underestimates Canada.

B.C.’s other ambassadors were Megan Metz of Kitimat and Christina Smith of Port Hardy. The program encourages participants to start up community-service projects upon their return to Canada, and Pan already has one in mind for Burnaby. “My project aims to celebrate cultural diversity and interschool connections through storytelling done by volunteers in elementary schools,” she said. “I believe that connecting students of varying age groups, ethnic backgrounds, and cultures can create more enthusiasm for learning about different parts of the world.” For more information about theYouth Ambassadors Program, visit http://ti nyurl.com/USyouthpro gram.

What about in the U.S., where a lot of families often eat McDonalds and other fast food because it’s cheap.What would you say to someone who can’t afford to buy plantbased ingredients? First of all, people think, oh, it’s going to be expensive. If you get organic, yes, and I can’t afford to eat ev-

erything organic. It’s not expensive, however, to eat plant-based. Beans are rather cheap, whole grain bread, basically if you eat whole foods, have a handful of nuts and seeds a day, vegetables, fruit, that’s basically your plant-based diet.There are some very easy meals in the book, which is another bonus. After all this ex-

...People think, oh, it’s going to be expensive. planation, I start the reader off with some basic recipes so they don’t have to go buy another book to just start

cooking. A very easy meal would be, instead of making chili with beef and all the rest of it, just omit the beef, emphasize the beans and add in a variety of vegetables. How easy is that?

Recognizing the nature of reality and ourselves, we must accept the inescapable fact of change. Rapid and recognizable changes – such as the weather, the time of day, the day of the week, the daily news, and our movements, conversations and thoughts throughout each day – conceal the less perceptible yet constant change in everything else, particularly what we take for granted as being solid and stable. This includes our bodies, our relationships, and the seemingly unchangeable objects we see and interact with each day.We are surprised and upset when mechanical possessions – like our cars, appliances and hot water tanks – wear down or breakdown. Should we? We grieve the loss of our loved ones when they age, become ill and die.We may be thrown into turmoil when we have discovered that our most important and seemingly stable relationships have changed or ended. Though we do know that we will age, are subject to illness and accident, and one day will die, we act each day as if our bodies and our

We can be dynamically responsive to change...

We can be dynamically responsive to change as if swimming as part of the ocean. Accept what you cannot change, but change what you cannot accept.When something is wrong or something is needed, speak up for others and yourself. Help where you can.You always can. Each day, we face fleeting opportunities to do good or grand things to help others.

More often than not, most of us let those opportunities pass, and good intentions do not lead to action. At the end of each day – and the end of your life – will you regret the good you could have done but didn’t? The kind words you thought of saying but didn’t? The easiest role to play is that of the cynical critic – to judge others and complain about what’s wrong with the world. Each of us can feel this way at times, but society can only be made better by those who see a better future and act on it. Be the change you want to see. See the change you want to be. Being dynamically responsive to change, we recognize that old habits and routines no longer make sense in a changing world. The old ways of seeing ourselves and thinking about the world no longer make sense. Old ways of relating don’t work. We must consciously recreate ourselves and our lives, rewrite our life stories and continually create greater meaning each and every day.

Get creative with fresh, local corn on the cob Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

A much loved side dish with summer meals is good old-fashioned corn on the cob. Whole corn on the cob should either be eaten on the day of purchase or stored in the refrigerator, as the natural sugars convert

to starch faster in the presence of warm temperatures. Corn can be a very healthy part of a balanced diet as its dietary profile includes vitamin B1, folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese. Everything, however, should be consumed in moderation, including the amount of butter and salt that is applied to the finished product. Fresh cracked pepper is one of my

favourite toppings (along with the butter and salt) and is a great way to add tons of flavour. Let your creativity run wild in the kitchen and discover what else you can top your corn on the cob with.The internet and local libraries are full of great recipe ideas. If grilling your corn on the cob instead of boiling it, try it over lump charcoal – the taste difference is amaz-

Vinegar not a problem Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Question: I usually clean my fruit and vegetables in water to which I add a few drops (sometimes a dash) of white vinegar.The water is Metro Vancouver tap water. During these days of water restrictions, I wonder if such water could be used to water the plants in my backyard or in planters. - Jean Munier, Burnaby Answer: Yes, it could. Water containing a drop or dash of white vinegar shouldn’t be a problem. But it is best if the ratio of vinegar to water is overwhelmingly in favour of water. I’d suggest about a quart of water to dilute your drop or dash of vinegar. Acid-loving plants would enjoy a hint of vinegar much more than those that need alkalinity. If you have rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas or blueberries, I suggest you focus on those because all are shallow-rooted, acid-loving and among the first to suffer from drought. Other plants that like

acidic soil include primroses, calla lilies, ferns, alyssum and lupins. Heathers can also handle acidity, but they don’t need priority because they’re very well-adapted to drought. Dianthus, heuchera, hellebores, cranesbills, clematis and yarrow prefer alkaline soil and wouldn’t appreciate vinegar water much. But right now, a weak solution of vinegar water would be better than not having water at all. Question: This year I lost my entire raspberry crop. In June, the leaves were turning brown and shriveling.The berries dried up before they ripened. I watered the bushes about once a week. In spring, I put on year-old compost from my bin. Did I over-fertilize, or was this some sort of blight? The raspberries are about 20 years old. I have dug up most of the roots, just left about 10 new shoots. Should I buy new plants and put them in the same place? Could there be something wrong with the soil? Or is it just from the heat? - Jean Konda-Witte, Abbotsford Answer: It’s the lack of rain and hot sun that’s ruined your raspberries.

Twenty years is about the age when blight and viral infections happen – but the key to your problem is when you report that the leaves turned brown as well. It might be a good idea to buy some new plants – but frankly, if next year’s weather is like this, you could have the same problem again. It might be best to wait and see how your 10 new shoots do. If they do poorly, then you could buy new roots and plant these in another site. If your present raspberry site is in full sun, try a more shaded spot for the new plantings. Next year, you could try Sea Soil as an amendment or mulch (or both). Home compost is excellent, but Sea Soil has an additional advantage in drought – it holds onto water very well. Grass clippings are a nutritious and water-saving mulch.With raspberries, you can pile grass mulch thickly. Just make sure the mulch layer is thinner right up against the canes. The reason for this is because thick, fresh grass layers get hot enough to burn delicate plant tissues. Send gardening questions to Anne by email, amarrison@ shaw.ca.

ing. I simply pull off the husks and place the cobs directly on the grill, while rotating them occasionally until mostly all the kernels are slightly charred. Try this compound butter recipe for something different when you have corn on the cob. One of my favorites.

TEQUILA LIME CHILI BUTTER 1 cup salted butter, room

temperature 2 tbsp chili powder 2 tbsp tequila 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tsp finely chopped lime zest Extra salt and pepper, if desired Place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix at medium speed, gradually increasing to high speed until fully combined,

stopping halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Store at room temperature for a few days, or longer in the refrigerator. Spread on hot cooked corn and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired. Makes approximately 1 cup of compound butter.

Going pro with Whitecaps FC2

Burnaby midfielder/striker one of three local residency program players signing contracts Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Sixteen-year-old footballer Terran Campbell of Burnaby is going pro. Campbell inked the deal with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC2 team on Wednesday, along with local residency teammates Kadin Chung of Port Coquitlam and North Vancouver’s Thomas Gardner. “I’ve been developing well and (the Whitecaps) decided to offer me a contract,” said Campbell on Wednesday. “Right now, I’m just focusing on my soccer career and trying to go as far with it as I can.” All three players were members on Canada’s under-17 national team that lost its bid for a berth into the World Cup following a 3-0 loss to Costa Rica in CONCACAF qualifying back in March. Campbell, Chung and Gardner were also previously called up to Canada’s u-15 national team. “We’re thrilled to see three more local players progress through our residency program and earn professional opportunities with our club,” said Whitecaps FC residency technical director Craig Dalrymple in a press release. “Kadin,Thomas and Terran deserve this opportunity and we look forward to continuing to help them develop through the next

stages of their careers.” The teens also experienced a heartbreaking shootout loss to Georgia United in a u-16 U.S. Soccer Development Academy quarter-final earlier this season held on Burnaby Mountain. In the quarter-final, Chung assisted on Michael Baldisimo’s 2-2 game-tying goal that sent the game to extra time. Campbell and Gardner both scored in the penalty shootout. Campbell, who had a couple of chances to score in the 22nd and 54th minute of the quarter-final match, called the playoff game a learning experience. “Never take a game for granted and give your heart to the win,” he said. This season, the Burnaby native scored 10 goals in 11 matches with the Whitecaps’ u-16 squad, while also adding another three tallies in 22 appearances on the u-18 squad. Chung started in all but one of the u-16 residency’s 35 games this season. He also scored his first international goal in a 3-1 win over Haiti in CONCACAF qualifying. Gardner, a midfielder, captained the u-16’s in his final season with the squad. Campbell made his debut with Whitecaps FC2 as an academy call-up, coming on as a substitute in a 3-0 road win against the Tulsa Roughnecks in July.

Burnaby’s JackYaremko did some yeoman work pitching as well as providing a clutch bat at first base in helping the CoquitlamMoody Reds to a silver medal at the Canadian national peewee AAA baseball championships in Repentigny, Que. Yaremko, 13, plated two runs in the team’s 7-2 victory over Team Alberta in the round-robin, and scored twice and picked up the win over Team Quebec 2 in an 18-6 triumph. He also walked and came around to score in the Reds’ 4-2 loss to eventual champion Lanaudiere.

“It was a really good experience – the environment – everything was great,” said Campbell of his FC2 debut. “I went at them –

did everything I could – got a few passes in – had a chance to score but it didn’t work out.” But, with a bright future

ahead, the Burnaby Central student has all the time in the world to develop. “Yeah, I’m really happy,” he said.

Clan scores ﬁrst preseason soccer win

Scoring by committee the likely strategy after graduated player of the year, says coach Leave it up to the Jones boys. Simon Fraser University earned its first win of the exhibition men’s soccer season, knocking off Kwantlen Polytechnic University Eagles 2-1 in a preseason match last Thursday at Terry Fox Field. Older brother Adam and freshman midfielder Kyle Jones each scored for the Clan. The Clan played to an earlier 1-1 draw against the University of Fraser Valley on Aug. 21. “I think I can honestly say that we have position battles all over the field,” said Clan head coach Clint Schneider in a SFU press release. “There are some extremely talented freshmen, everyone is fit and

they have done their job this summer to get ready for the season. I see every position as a battle and they are going to push each other to get better.” Simon Fraser is trying to replace striker Jovan Blagojevic, who was selected as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and West region’s player of the year last season, and was also named to the 2014 men’s soccer All-America second team. Blagojevic scored 18 goals in 18 games last season, including a conference-leading seven game-winners. Blagojevic was selected 54th overall by the Vancouver Whitecaps

during the third round of the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. He currently plays for Whitecaps FC2. While a single fill-in for the talented Clan grad has yet to materialize, Schneider says SFU will find its scoring touch from anywhere on the field. “I think we will score by committee.We have had teams here at SFU in the past that have scored 70 goals and not because one guy scored 30 goals, but because the responsibility was shared and several players scored nine or 10 goals. That is the type of team we have this year,” said Schneider in the release.

Three different players have scored the Clan’s three goals this season. Schneider replaced Alan Koch, who is now head coach of Whitecaps FC 2, the new USL PRO team of Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Simon Fraser plays an exhibition match at the University of British Columbia today (Friday), before playing its first match against an NCAA opponent, a road game against Sonoma State on Sept. 3. The SFU varsity women’s soccer team opened its preseason this Thursday (after NOW deadlines) with an exhibition match against Douglas College.

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Paige Misfeldt’s lucky number must be seven. The Burnaby resident won that many medals with Team Canada at the 12th annual International Dragon Boat Federation World racing championships at the Welland Flatwater Centre in Ontario last weekend. Misfeldt shared in three gold medals with Canada’s mixed and women’s teams, while also collecting

two runner-up medals and a pair of bronze. Shane Beaton, who grew up in Burnaby, raced on both of Canada’s open and mixed crews that also won seven medals. In women’s races, Misfeldt won two gold at 500 and 1,000 metres. She also shared a silver medal at 2,000m. The Canadian women also took first place at 200m. In mixed racing, Misfeldt and Beaton paddled

Canada to a gold medal at 2,000m, a silver at 200m and two bronze at 500 and 1,000m. Beaton also added a gold medal in the open 2,000m and a pair of second-place medals at 500 and 1,000m. Canada also took home the Nations Cup for the first time since 2004. The Nations Cup, the top honour in the sport of dragon boat racing, is awarded to the country with the most points in the premier division.

SFU club hockey turns 10 Simon Fraser University hockey will celebrate its 10th anniversary this season. The SFU club will be staging a number of special events celebrating its 10 years, including a top-10 SFU players countdown, top-10 SFU moments countdown, alumni night, and other player appearances and ceremonies. There is also a special 10th anniversary logo, which will be featured throughout the season. The 2015/16 regular season kicks off with a meeting between SFU and local rival Trinity Western University on Saturday, Oct. 10 in Langley. It will be a rematch of the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League semi-final series in which SFU swept the top team in the regular season. The Clan’s home opener will be the following Saturday, Oct. 17, when Eastern Washington pays a visit to Burnaby. The Eagles missed the BCIHL playoffs last season and will be looking to make a statement early in the season. Last year, the Clan saw over 1,300 fans attend the home opener – the largest crowd of the season. Fans will have to wait until the final home game of the fall semester to see a rematch of

the 2015 BCIHL championship, when Selkirk College visits Burnaby on Dec. 5. That night will also be the the teddy bear toss night. SFU staff are currently working with local groups to find other items to be tossed. SFU will play five of their 12 home games during the fall semester and will have all regular season games, home and away, available on pay per view at www.fasthock ey.com. This will also be the second season of the Clan’s partnership with the Highland Pub on the Burnaby campus, and all weekday games will be shown live on TV. During the fall semester, the only two weekday away games are Friday, Oct. 30 against Eastern Washington and Friday, Nov. 20 versus the University of Victoria. This season will feature the five BCIHL teams playing each opponent six times (three at home and three away), to complete the 24-game season. The BCIHL Showcase will be hosted by SFU at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre, Jan. 15 to 17. It will feature BCIHL teams playing games in Burnaby that weekend, along with numerous other events celebrating the Clan’s 10 years of the BCIHL.
