Feds’ housing strategy ‘fabulous news’ Liberals’ $40-billion plan will protect tenants in co-ops with agreements about to expire

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Co-op residents across Canada are breathing a sigh of relief after the unveiling of the Liberals’ $40-billion national housing strategy on Wednesday.

The decade-long plan includes a $500-million federal community housing initiative, which will protect tenants in coops whose operating agreements were set to expire soon.

New operating agreements will be put in place, allowing the continuation of subsidized rents for low-income residents.

“It’s absolutely fabulous news,” said Thom Armstrong, executive director at the Co-operative Housing Federation of B.C. “We’re so grateful that so many of

our members will no longer have to worry about whether their homes will be affordable. It means we can now focus our energies on the long-term agenda, which really is increasing the supply of affordable housing.”

The federal government has committed $15.9 billion to a national housing co-investment fund, money that will create up to 60,000 new units of housing (including co-ops) and repair up to 240,000 existing units. It’s to be a partnership between prov-

The fund will consist of $4.7 billion in financial contributions and $11.2 billion in low-interest loans. In turn, recipients need to rent 30 per cent of their units for less than 80 per cent of median market rents for at least 20 years.

Twenty per cent of units must meet accessibility standards, and there must be at least a 25 per cent reduction in energy Continued on page 8

Plans revealed for Metrotown Sears site Public hearing Nov. 28 for massive mixed-use project that features towers ranging from 35 to 65 storeys Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Sears site in Metrotown will be the first redevelopment project under the City of Burnaby’s newly adopted and controversial Metrotown Downtown Plan.

A conceptual master plan and the first phase for the nine-acre site, owned by Concord Pacific Group of Companies, is going to a public hearing next week.

Sears Canada sold its Metrotown property two years ago to Concord as part of a three-property deal worth $140 million.

The site at 4750 Kingsway includes the Sears store, the space underneath where Toys R Us is located, surface and underground parking at the mall, loading facilities and the public plaza at the corner of Kingsway and Nelson Avenue.

The developer’s vision is to transform the area into a “pedestrian-oriented” and “transit-connected” community, according to a city report, one that “takes inspiration from its physical location in Burnaby’s emerging downtown.”

The Metrotown Downtown Plan replaced the 1977 plan for the area and calls for the creation of something the municipality has never had in its 125-year existence: a downtown.

“The overall concept for the site is to see its eventual transition from a suburbanstyle, auto-oriented department store, into a dynamic mixed-use development that is focused on the pedestrian,” reads the report.

Once completed, the site will accommodate six residential towers, each atop a commercial podium, along Kingsway.

Peter Webb, senior vice-president of development at Concord, told the NOW construction will be carried out in four phases and the buildings will range between 35 and 65 storeys.The tallest towers will be located at each end, with a dip in the middle. “(Phase 1) is the eastern three towers,” he said, adding there will be a total of 1,309 condo units in Phase 1 and several levels of underground parking.

Asked why the company went with a

AN EMERGING DOWNTOWN Sears Canada filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, announcing it was shutting down operations at more than 100 stores, including its Metrotown location.

curve design,Webb said it’s because Kingsway is a “high point” that can be seen from as far as Richmond.

“We spent a lot of time thinking about it. If you have six towers in a collection, linearly, along Kingsway, there’s an opportunity that doesn’t very often present itself architecturally and from a large scale urban city building planning perspective.We were looking at the profile of the towers from great distance to see what might work to accomplish a noticeable, meaningful assemblage.”

Phase 1 will also see new vehicle, pedestrian and cycling connections built into existing streets to the north, including McMurray and McKercher avenues, as well as

future connections to the south and west through the Metropolis at Metrotown site and Station Square.The existing plaza at Nelson Avenue and Kingsway will be replaced with three new open space and plaza elements.

As for the Sears building itself, Concord Pacific intends for “a larger anchor retail user” on the ground and second level, and for a single highrise commercial tower, between 20 and 30 storeys. It’s all part of Phase 4, but given the department store is shutting its doors early next year, the site could be developed sooner. (Sears Canada filed for bankruptcy this summer.)

Webb estimated it would take seven years for the finished product, but that could

change depending on how the market is doing. He said Phase 1 units should be selling by this time next year.

Anyone can attend the public hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 28.The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in council chambers at 4949 Canada Way. In July, housing activists disrupted a Burnaby council meeting with chants, noisemakers and signs in an effort to stop the passing of the Metrotown Downtown Plan.They argued the mass rezoning of the neighbourhood, which will see low-rise rentals replaced with highrise towers, will displace thousands of residents.

Council resumed after a few hours and passed the update unanimously.

Judge nixes minimum sentence in child porn case Sending intellectually disabled man to jail for mandatory 90 days would be ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

In a child-pornography case involving a 23-year-old intellectually disabled Burnaby man, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled Canada’s mandatory minimum sentence for possession of child pornography is unconstitutional.

Matthew Christopher Swaby pleaded guilty to

possession of child pornography in January 2015.

Almost a year earlier, the RCMP had detected a large number of suspected child pornography files downloaded to an IP address associated with Swaby between Oct. 24, 2013 and Jan. 12, 2014, when he was 23 years old.

He was arrested on Feb. 5, 2014, after police searched the Burnaby home

he had been sharing with his mother and sister and found two computer hard drives belonging to him that contained a total of 480 images meeting the definition of child pornography.

The photos and videos depicted acts of sexual abuse of children as young as one year old.

The sentencing judge in the case called the acts depicted in the images “dis-

gusting examples of the victimization of children,” but he ultimately ruled the minimum 90-day jail sentence for possession of child pornography in force at the time would constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” for Swaby because of his disabilities and mental health problems.

Swaby was then handed a four-month conditional sentence order and two years of

probation.

The decision was appealed but upheld by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Leonard Marchand this month.

He said the 90-day minimum jail sentence was “grossly disproportionate” in Swaby’s case and violated his Charter rights.

(The minimum sentence is currently six months, after the previous Conser-

vative government passed its Tougher Penalties for Child Predators Act in June 2015.)

Swaby, who has no previous criminal record, has an IQ of about 53, putting his intellectual functioning in range formerly known as “mental retardation,” according to one of two psychologists who tested him before sentencing.

‘Reduced level of moral blameworthiness’ Continued from page 3 The same psychologist concluded Swaby also showed signs of psychosis and depression, and raised concerns about his risk of suicide and his vulnerability to being victimized by other inmates if he were sent to jail.

Both psychologists who tested Swaby agreed he had pedophilic interests but not a pedophilic disorder and that his risk to commit a future sexual contact or child pornography offence was low.

They also agreed a jail term would likely increase that risk.

In upholding Swaby’s sentence, Marchand said sentencing decisions involving serious offences committed by people with “a reduced level of moral blameworthiness” are the hardest to make.

“Every day, courts across Canada grapple with the unique circumstances of parties with cognitive impairments and/or serious mental health issues in

criminal, family, child protection and civil contexts,” he said.

He concluded, in Swaby’s case, a clear majority of Canadians would find a 90-day jail sentence “abhorrent and intolerable” if they were fully informed about the offence, Swaby’s personal circumstances and the goals of punishing people.

“They would reach this conclusion not out of a sense of compassion but as a result of Mr. Swaby’s reduced level of moral blameworthiness and low risk to re-offend,” Marchand said.

“Their conclusion would be reinforced by the detrimental effect of any type of incarceration on Mr. Swaby.

“They would understand that, in the exceptional circumstances of Mr. Swaby’s case, denunciation, deterrence and protection of the public would be adequately addressed by Mr. Swaby’s incarceration in the community, his registration on the sex offender’s registry,

Courts across Canada grapple with the unique circumstances of parties with cognitive impairments … and the other terms of his sentence.”

A number of mandatory minimum sentences intro-

duced by the previous Conservative government in the so-called “omnibus crime bill” in 2012 have been

struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Mandatory minimums have been criticized by groups like the B.C. Civil Liberties Association for being ineffective and costly, and for taking away judges’ discretion to weigh all the evidence and decide on a fair sentence.

When the Liberal gov-

ernment came to power in 2015, newly appointed Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould’s mandate letter included instructions to “conduct a review of the changes in our criminal justice system and sentencing reforms over the past decade.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Burnaby’s out of excuses on housing issues For years, Burnaby residents have been hearing the same message from their city leaders.

In a nutshell, it goes something like this: “We’d love to do more to help solve the housing crisis, but, dudes, our hands are tied.

We’re only a municipal government.We can’t do what the province and the feds can do. If only they’d come to the table, we’d be able to

solve this problem.”

Guess what?

The unthinkable has happened.The City of Burnaby finally has not one but two senior levels of government who are getting in on the housing game.

First it was John Horgan leading the NDP into power and effectively eliminating “but Christy Clark” as an excuse for, well, just about everything.

Now, with the federal Liberals’ recently announced $40-billion national housing strategy, things just got real for everyone who’s been waiting for the magical unicorn to arrive.

Selina Robinson, B.C.’s minister of municipal affairs and housing, says the province is ready to partner with the federal government to improve housing affordability and tackle homelessness.

Which means the ball has landed, fair and square, in the City of Burnaby’s court.

The question remains what Mayor Derek Corrigan and council plan to do with it.

Here’s hoping the city is willing to step up in a genuine spirit of cooperation and partnership – as it did with the recent announcement of a new 14-storey nonmarket rental apartment in

Metrotown, a partnership between the New Vista Society, B.C. Housing and Thind Properties Ltd. If the city is, in fact, actually willing to be a player in this whole issue, who knows what could happen? Burnaby residents might actually benefit from new co-operative housing, new affordable units for seniors and new homes for people with developmental disabilities.

No, of course, Burnaby cannot single-handedly solve the housing crisis.

But it’s run out of reasons not to try just a little bit harder to find solutions that work – instead of pointing fingers at Victoria and Ottawa to keep deflecting blame.

Everyone has a right to housing. Let’s hope our leaders – at all levels – are willing to work together to provide it.

MY VIEW MICHAEL PRIARO

Are they backing a losing horse?

Newly installed United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney’s vow to impose “retaliatory measures if the province’s NDP government is successful in blocking the (Trans Mountain) project from going ahead” is nothing more than opportunistic, divisive and unimaginative politics totally lacking in vision and the national interest.

His threat, if elected, of a retaliatory trade war with B.C. if the Trans Mountain pipeline does not proceed solves nothing.

Kinder Morgan recently wrote a letter to the National Energy Board asking that the NEB override City of Burnaby bylaws so construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion can proceed.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan has said he’s “ready to get arrested to stop this (the Trans Mountain expansion)” – echoing, and standing up for, widespread community sentiment especially in B.C.’s Lower Mainland and Islands.

Neither the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, or UCP Leader Kenney, have the moral right or social licence to ram a pipeline down the throats of the citizens of B.C.’s Lower Mainland and Islands, who, by helping elect an NDP government that vowed to use “every tool in the book to stop it” have spoken in clear opposition.

However, with hearings of multiple lawsuits by opponents recently conducted by the Federal Court of Appeal, the legal right to ram the pipeline and marine ter-

minal through may soon not exist at all.

The decision to approve the Trans Mountain expansion was a self-serving political decision by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau so that he would not have to approve Energy East and lose seats in Quebec. As such, it was not based on objective evaluation of the national interest. Nor was it based on technical competence – Trudeau dropped out of engineering studies at Montreal’s École Polytechnique and failed to complete a master’s degree in environmental geography at McGill.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is complicit in this strategy as evidenced by her lack of any significant response or action to Energy East’s cancellation.

There is a far better, cooperative way forward to accessWest Coast tide water and new markets in a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible way that also benefits First Nations and is in everyone’s best interests.

Such a way forward appears to be far beyond the grasp and ken of our current crop of political leaders.

The national interest, and that of Alberta, B.C., First Nations, the oil and gas industry and environmentalists, is best served by a First Nations-led multi-pipeline, multi-energy corridor from the oil sands and Alberta’s industrial heartland to Prince Rupert.

A 48-inch oil pipeline in the proposed Eagle Spirit energy corridor would carry two million barrels per day – as much oil as the defunct Energy East pipeline and Continued on page 7

Claws come out over strip act A Burnaby-based animal rights group lobbied Premier BillVander Zalm in April to clamp down on the use of exotic animals in strip-tease acts. Peter Hamilton, the director of Lifeforce, said the use of animals was inhumane and unsafe. He pointed to the Jane Jones Review, an act that had been at the North Burnaby Inn, featuring a declawed but not defanged Siberian tiger that strutted around the stage while the dancer doffed her clothes. Burnaby council members sympathized, but Alderman Derek Corrigan said the city didn’t have the power to govern such acts, noting that was a provincial responsibility.

Opinionnow NEB failed residents

Dear Editor: The National Energy Board (NEB) has disentitled about 100 Burnaby residents from participating in the detailed route hearings for the new Kinder Morgan pipeline.

The beginning of this process was an invitation by the NEB to Burnaby residents last spring to submit statements of opposition to the detailed route planned for the pipeline through Burnaby; 135 such statements were submitted.

On Oct. 4, the NEB issued its decisions; 28 people were granted a hearing and the remainder were to be allowed to apply to participate in the hearings. Trans Mountain was ordered to email this decision to all of the submitters by Oct. 17. Trans Mountain gave this task to its lawyer, with the result that the emails came from SBarnachea@ osler.com and the subject line was barely intelligible. There is no way anyone could have known that this had anything to do with the statements of opposition submitted half a year earlier.

I visited the houses of 17 of these people, and from the six who responded, I learned that one had received a FedEx package, but the remaining five knew nothing. In retrospect, it is likely that all five had received an email but thought it was junk mail or phishing.

I then submitted a motion to the NEB to order Trans Mountain to repeat the service with a real and clear letter. Trans Mountain’s response was that what they did was OK. My response to that was that the NEB’s rules of practice and procedure stated that when email is used, it is to be followed by a hard copy, which was not done,

and in any case the NEB’s desire that people be informed was not achieved.

It took the NEB seven days to dismiss my motion. They could not argue that I was wrong, so instead invented a new rule, that a hard copy was not required. The NEB did not address the fact that people did not know that they could apply to participate in the hearings.

Thus it is that 100 Burnaby residents were disentitled to participate in these hearings.

Thus, also now, the NEB allows unintelligible email from an unknown person at an unknown company inviting one to click on a link (a no-no) to be acceptable as “service.”

David Huntley, Burnaby

Pipeline is the wrong one

Continued from page 6 the proposed twinned Trans Mountain pipelines combined.

Premier Notley, in her desperation to get a pipeline, any pipeline, built to save her government, UCP leader Jason Kenney in his divisive and unimaginative lust to form the next government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his ill-advised bid to ban large oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast with Bill C-48 in the face of First Nations opposition, and everyone else backing the Trans Mountain expansion are backing what is looking more and more like a losing horse that should never have been in the race to West Coast tide water.

City now NEW FEDERAL HOUSING STRATEGY

“Provided that everyone is focused on the need to use it (the fund) creatively and toward the right goals, it’s a game changer,” said Armstrong.

The executive director added there isn’t a co-operative project for Burnaby on the “development table” at the moment, but “now is exactly the opportunity to sit down.”

“I’d be surprised if every organization in the community housing sector wasn’t sitting down this morning, saying, ‘OK, what do we got that could be rolled forward, and let’s get it built.’ Burnaby is ripe for it.”

Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s community development committee, applaudedWednesday’s announcement and said “there’s hope on the horizon.”

“I’m happy to see we finally have a national housing strategy, because we’ve been all looking for this for so long.”

But she said she was disappointed there were no tax

breaks for developers wanting to build market rentals.

“They didn’t seem to do anything to assist the private sector in encouraging and having them build more market-rental housing. ... How we got all these market rentals that we have now is through those kinds of programs,” she said. “But it looks like there’s some op-

portunities there.The provinces are going to have to match a lot of it, and that’s going to be a struggle in some places, too, so we’ll see how it unfolds.”

Kennedy Stewart, NDP MP for Burnaby South, said he’s glad the Liberals have recognized housing is an issue for many Canadians, but he wants them to “put their money where their mouth is.”

“I’m really hoping that this money actually gets spent, and I’m really hoping we get new units, but what we’ve seen from this government is lots of promises and no deliveries. … This does open the window for us to try to at least address the housing crisis in Burnaby, and I’ll do my best to get as many units in Burnaby as I can.”

The federal government got out of housing in the early 1990s, when funding to build new homes dried up, along with the network of affordable housing builders.

Housing strategy highlights It’s a human right: The federal government plans to make the right to adequate housing a human right by enshrining it into Canadian law.

Homelessness: The national housing strategy aims to reduce homelessness across Canada by 50 per cent in 10 years.

Memo: If you’re heading to pick up your impaired girlfriend after she’s caught at a roadblock, you probably shouldn’t be drunk Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A woman and her boyfriend failed to think through their Plan B for a ride home after drinks this month. Burnaby RCMP set up a roadblock on Grandview Highway by the Highway 1 on-ramp between 4:30 and 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 12.

They stopped a woman in her early 40s, who was found to be impaired, according to police.

She refused to give a breath sample, police said, so she was handed a 90-day driving prohibition and her vehicle was towed to be impounded for 30 days.

To get home, she called

her boyfriend, who was also in his early 40s.

He too was caught in the roadblock, blowing over the legal limit.

Police issued him a 24hour suspension and towed his vehicle as well.

Burnaby RCMP checked a total of 200 drivers that night and found one without a licence and another without insurance.

The Mounties will launch their Christmas counter attack against impaired drivers in the first week of December and be out throughout the month ensuring holiday revellers are planning safe rides home.

Nutcracker returns to Burnaby Royal CityYouth Ballet tour is back at Michael J. Fox Theatre Dec. 1 It’s nearly time for the return of a holiday favourite.

Royal CityYouth Ballet is bringing its Nutcracker production to the stage at Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby on Friday, Dec. 1.

The annual full-length ballet – now in its 29th season – features a cast of more than 100 dedicated and enthusiastic dancers under the artistic direction of Camilla Fishwick-Kellogg, performing to Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beloved music.

For those unfamiliar with the story, it opens on Christmas Eve – “a time when dreams may come true,” as a press release says.

“Drosselmeyer, godfather to Clara, brings gifts and magic to her parents’ home for the annual Christmas party. His special gift to Clara is a large Nutcracker soldier.When she falls asleep after the party, Clara is cradling the Nutcracker in her arms and begins to dream.

“In her dream her Nutcracker soldier fights a battle and transports her on a sleigh through the Land of Snow to the Land of Sweets, where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and peo-

The company’s regional tour starts in Abbotsford on Sunday, Nov. 26, with 1 and 4 p.m. shows. It then moves to Burnaby for the Friday night show at 7 p.m. Dec. 1.

It makes stops in Maple Ridge, Surrey, Duncan and North Vancouver before returning home to New Westminster for its wrap-up shows on Saturday, Dec. 23 at 2 and 7 p.m.

Artsnow Dance project explores work of McLuhan, Gould Two Burnaby residents are part of an innovative new performance by Action at a Distance dance company.

Wells Hill is onstage in the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre at the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts from Nov. 24 to 26.

The work is a meditation on the work of two prolific Canadians, Marshall McLuhan and Glenn Gould. Seven dancers splice together themes of technology and communication in a performance based on their philosophies.

“These two Canadian luminaries altered how we consume art and information, and their prescient ideas provide an engaging framework for a performance that is both visceral and cerebral,” a press release says.

Two Burnaby residents

are part of the project: Shion Carter is an apprentice, and Samantha Penner is an intern from Simon Fraser University.

Dancers Lara Barclay, Karissa Barry, Dario Dinuzzi, Bynh Ho, Arash Khakpour, Alexa Mardo and Bevin Poole are bringing to life the work choreographed by Vanessa Goodman, artistic director of Action at a Distance.

Creative collaborators include composers Loscil (Scott Morgan) and Gabriel Saloman, lighting designer James Proudfoot and projection artists Ben Didier and Milton Lim. The work was commissioned by SFU Woodward’s cultural programs as part of Canada 150+ celebrations, and it’s co-presented

by DanceHouse and SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts.

Artsnow New books pay tribute to Japanese-Canadian history Seventy-five years ago, Japanese-Canadians were labelled as enemy aliens and rounded up for shipping to internment camps.

This weekend, the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre is honouring that past with a book launch event that celebrates three works about Japanese-Canadian history.

The launch is set for Saturday, Nov. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Ellipse Lobby.

Guest speakers Jordan Stanger-Ross, John Endo Greenaway, Linda Kawamoto Reid and Sherri Kajiwara, the Nikkei National Museum’s director-curator, will be on hand to introduce the books, and the presentations will be followed by book signings and refreshments.

Greenaway and Reid are the co-authors, with Fumiko Greenaway, of Departures: Chronicling the Expulsion of the Japanese Canadians from theWest Coast, 1942-1949. Using archival photos, the memories of survivors, recipes and artifacts from the camps, and poetry – both tanka

and haiku – the book presents a portrait of the people who were forced from their homes.Woven throughout are the voices of the third and fourth generations, “offering echoes of those years that continue to resonate long after the last camp was closed down.”

Stanger-Ross is the co-editor, with Pamela Sugiman, of Witness to Loss: Race, Culpability and Memory in the Dispossession of Japanese Canadians. It’s the previ-

ously unknown memoir of Kishizo Kimura, an interned Japanese Canadian who also served as a member of two controversial committees that oversaw the forced sale of the property of Japanese Canadians in Vancouver during the Second World War – meaning that, as a press release notes, “Kimura participated in the dispossession of his own community.”

“This remarkable document chronicles a history of racism in British Columbia, describes the activities of the committees on which Kimura served, and seeks to defend his actions,” the release notes. “More complex than just hero or villain, oppressor or victim, Kimura raises important questions about the meaning of resistance and collaboration and the constraints faced by an entire generation.”

The third book that will be presented is The Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow: The Biography of an Outstanding Japanese Canadian. It was written by Tadahi Jack Kagetsu about his father, Eikichi Kagetsu.

The Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre

is at 6688 Southoaks Cres.

“The survey is mostly to find out what’s missing according to people in the neighbourhood,” said Simone Brandl, program director at North House.

“Maybe they want more than just a program that they come to and leave; they

want a program that they come to, they meet people, they become part of the neighbourhood.”

The questionnaire can be found at tinyurl.com/ NorthBurnabySurvey and will be available up until the first week of January, added Brandl. She emphasized the Neighbourhood House is different than other centres because it has a steering committee made up of board members and local residents.

“We’re run by community for community. It’s not like we’re parks and rec, where we have a fee for things. It is built by community members who live in North Burnaby.”

Once all the survey data is processed, Brandl and her team will move forward on adjusting the Neighbourhood House’s programming.

HELP WRAP GIFTS AT METROPOLIS AT METROTOWN Meanwhile, Burnaby Neighbourhood House is looking for volunteers to gift

wrap at Metropolis at Metrotown.

Each year, the organization has a booth at the mall, where shoppers can have their gifts wrapped for a small donation. All funds raised support Neighbourhood House programs and services.

Anyone interested in volunteering (from Nov. 24 to Dec. 24) will need to go through a wrapping orientation session. For more details, email volunteer@ burnabynh.ca or visit www. burnabynh.ca.

PIRATE HOUSE SUCCESS The community did not disappoint during this year’s Pirate House fundraiser.

A total of $1,350 was raised on Halloween, well over the goal of $600.

For five years now, Julie Desroches has decked out her front lawn with an elaborate Halloween display dubbed Boozabuzza Island.

The event raises money for St. Stephen’s Children’s Centre in Uganda.

“We will now be able to cover the licensing fees for

International goodwill: Kids from St. Stephen Children’s Centre in Uganda hold a sign thanking the Burnaby NOW for supporting the annual Pirate House fundraiser. The annual Halloween display in Burnaby raised $1,350 this year.

St. Stephen’s to become an official public school in Uganda, build foundations for our rainwater harvesting tanks, and cover some of the costs of the teachers’ salaries this term,” she wrote in an email to subscribers.

“Thank you so much! We are so appreciative of your ongoing generosity year after year.”

FOR THE DOGS A local filmmaker recent-

ly raised around $2,000 for his documentary Stories with Fleas.

Thommy Morais held a fundraiser on Nov. 11 at The Great Bear Pub in Burnaby to support the movie, which sheds light on Chile’s stray dog population and brings awareness to responsible dog adoption.

“The night was all for dog food donations and surprisingly received more than 180 kg worth of dog

food, which was donated to go all over Chile. People are loving the movie as we had 200 people,” he wrote in an email to the NOW. Morais noted he’s not done raising money. He’s set up an Indiegogo fundraising page – tinyurl.com/ StoriesWithFleas – that will run until the end of December.The hope is to return to Chile at the end of January and film the second half of the documentary.

CHRISTMAS SHOW WHAT’S UP: The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra returns to Burnaby for its annual Traditional Christmas concert.

WHEN AND WHERE: Sunday, Dec. 17 at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave., with concerts at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

WHAT’S ON THE PROGRAM? Christopher Gaze (of Bard on the Beach fame) is the host for the annual holiday extravaganza, conducted by William Rowson.

It’s the 25th anniversary for the concert, which has become a holiday favourite as it tours the Lower Mainland (this year’s tour starts Dec. 8 at St. Andrew’s Wesley Church in Vancouver and hits several locations before winding up in

Burnaby).

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is joined by EnChor, directed by Gerald van Wyck, and the UBC Opera Ensemble, under the direction of Nancy Hermiston.

Concertgoers can always expect a roster

of seasonal classical favourites and a chance to sing along with some Christmas carols.

MORE DETAILS: Tickets are $37 for children, students and seniors, or $43 regular.

This popular concert is always a sell-out, so be sure to buy early.

See www.vancouver symphony.ca for the ticket links.

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE North Burnaby Dental Group

T

he proof of excellence can be found in many facets of an organization: the reputation it has built, the longevity it has experienced, or the steady growth it enjoys.

Or, in the case of North Burnaby Dental Group, in all three areas at the same time.

Having marked 60 years in business, the clinic continues to draw new patients along with lifelong ones, and has earned itself a sterling reputation in the industry along the way.

The reason, says Dr. Houman Houchmand, is simple: a tireless dedication to each and every patient who comes in the door, yesterday, today and into the future.

“We have been successful because we simply put the patient first,” he said. “Our whole team works together to ensure that the care of the patient takes priority over anything else.”

That focus on patient care means having skilled, reliable and friendly staff working with patients at every step of the process. In fact, Dr. Houchmand and clinic partner Dr. Ron McCaffrey lead a team of more than 30 people – including administrative staff, hygienists, and specialists in a variety of areas –at the long-time family practice, many of whom have been part of the team for decades.

“This practice really operates as a family,” said Dr. Houchmand. “We have three staff members who have been here for more than 30 years, and many others who have been here more than 10 years.”

That continuity has helped bolster the clinic’s continued success, along with an ongoing focus on staying up-to-date and ahead of the curve when it comes to techniques, equipment and technology while maintaining a comfortable environment.

“We offer sedation for nervous patients and our staff is trained to make people feel at ease and to decrease their stress,” said Dr. Houchmand. “We have the latest technology available, from CAT scans to lasers. We want to offer the best dental care, plain and simple.”

Their approach has certainly worked – with six decades under their belts, they continue to not just keep long-time patients but to draw new ones.

“We have been here a long time and generations of families come from all over, including the island, to continue their dental care with us,” he said. “We have several patients who are more than 100 years old and

‘‘

We want our patients to feel that they are truly among a team that puts patients first.

– Dr. Houman Houchmand

Meanwhile, referrals from friends and family, along with positive reviews online, bring new patients in every week.

For Dr. Houchmand and his team, it’s rewarding to see those long time relationships continue and to be able to develop new ones.

“We really want people to walk away saying that was the best service they ever had, that we explained everything and that we were extremely friendly,” he said. “We want our patients to feel that they are coming to the best dental practice in Burnaby, and that they are

At the end of the day, that’s what makes the difference at North Burnaby Dental Group.

“As a business, I know that if you treat people the way you would like to be treated, then success will follow,” he said.

Being located in the heart of an ever-growing region doesn’t hurt either.

As part of the booming Heights neighbourhood, the clinic enjoys a central location between downtown and Coquitlam and beyond, with easy transit access.

“There certainly are people who are able to make those significant, legacy contributions, but the reality is that the foundation would not be here without those $20 and $30 donations that people give when they are able to,” she said. “The contributions of an entire community is what drives the capacity to make change.”

Some donors opt for “monthly giving” which helps spread out a donation over the year to fit into a budget.

There are also ways people can help the foundation through hands-on volunteering.

ith a new leader at its helm, Burnaby Hospital Foundation is gearing up to usher in a new era of success, with a host of projects, plans and goals in the works. It’s a huge task but one that is built on the solid pillars of the Foundation’s long history of accomplishments.

Kristy James, the Foundation’s new Chief Executive Officer, says it’s a job she’s excited to be a part of.

“I love community hospitals, I love the work they do, how they become hubs in the community and how they really can bring a community together,” she said. “The hospital sees people from all walks of life, from birth to death. Coming into this role, for me, is a wonderful opportunity to be part of the future of Burnaby Hospital and the city itself.”

The foundation was started in 1982 as the fundraising arm of Burnaby Hospital. Through community partnerships and fundraising, it has been able to provide vital medical equipment and technology, improve patient care, and support innovative and educational community programs in the 35 years since.

“It’s a really broad spectrum of ways in which the foundation is able to Kristy James, CEO support the work that the staff do here,” said James. “It’s not just inside the walls here, it really reaches out into the community in so many ways.”

James notes that the Burnaby region continues to grow, with an ever-larger population who will rely on the hospital through their lives.

“The reality is that you may not need the hospital today or tomorrow but by supporting it, you’re supporting your friends, your family, your neighbours and perhaps yourself down the road. Being involved with your local hospital is a way to truly be part of something bigger than yourself and to help countless people in the wider community.”

James says it’s a wonderful time for residents to get involved with the foundation, whether they have before or not.

“There’s so many opportunities to help,” she said. “We really encourage people to check out the website, to look at some of the volunteer and donor opportunities.”

She says it’s important to remember that there is no

“There’s so many opportunities and we really encourage people to explore how and where they might get involved,” she said.

The foundation’s major event of the year is coming up in February, with the gala evening themed this year as the Emperor’s Ball.

She joins the foundation after having held leadership roles at Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Canada and Variety – The Children’s Charity.

Building on the family legacy both Jim and his brother Ryan have carried on that tradition for excellence in their respective companies. Bosa says the pillars of quality and integrity that helped grow his father’s business continue to guide his decisions as Appia looks to the future. “We treat people the way we want to be treated, and build homes we want to live in,” he said. “We’re proud of every home we’ve built. We appreciate the business and trust that buyers and repeat homeowners have in us.” Appia gives careful consideration to every aspect of a project, from the larger city to the local neighbourhood and its future growth – but

uild something you’re proud of, give people more than they expect, and do it all with integrity. It’s not an official motto but it certainly sums up the approach that Appia Development has taken in everything it’s done over the years – including its most recent and ongoing project, SOLO District in North Burnaby.

SOLO’s second phase, ALTUS, has recently begun completions with new residents moving in, offering high praise for their new homes. “The feedback from buyers has been really positive,” said Founder and President of Appia, Jim Bosa. “People are so impressed with the quality of construction and the views, which are incredible.” Buyers have been drawn to the project, not only for its location, quality and the company’s reputation, but also those fantastic sight lines – 360 degrees of Burnaby, the North Shore mountains, downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, towards Richmond and Mount Baker – along with communal outdoor lounge spaces, BBQ areas, a media centre, games room and rooftop terraces.

Appia has created a uniquely beautiful and livable property for its residents.

“When you’re in the amenity space on 49, it’s like you’re a penthouse owner,” said Bosa. “It’s just such a beautiful spot to relax, enjoy the sun, read a book, or spend time with friends.”

ALTUS, a 49-storey Jim Bosa tower with 280 residential units, joins STRATUS, the first phase of SOLO District, with 360 residential units in a 45-storey tower located over street-level retail, including a Whole Foods Market.

With both towers fully sold out, excitement and interest in Phase 3 is booming – CIRRUS, the latest addition to the project, is expected to launch in early 2018, offering another 280 residential units, more streetlevel commercial, and an approximately 4,200-sq. ft. community police office.

“People see the value in SOLO District, not only in terms of the quality and the views, but also living in an established neighbourhood as opposed to a major construction site. It’s a really big win,” said Bosa.

It’s a project the entire Appia team is proud to have brought to the city.

“I grew up in Burnaby and my team and family have been building here for almost 30 years. We believe in this community,” Bosa said. “I think that’s pretty clear based on the number of projects we’ve built here,” he said with obvious pride. In fact, the company itself is, in many

at the forefront of every decision is the individual homeowner.

“Our team is methodical about reviewing every detail of a home from the layout, to the choice of the cabinetry, the selection of the appliances, to the flooring,” said Bosa. This is especially true in the upcoming third phase at SOLO District, where homes have been designed with quality and livability in mind. The development will feature larger layouts than many of the other new projects in the area.

“In all of our developments, we strive to deliver not only a functional and efficient space, but also the kind of property where your family and friends will come over and say ‘Wow, this is special – I wish I lived here.’”

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE Solace Home Comfort

S

omething special, the intangible sense of home, a product that is more than the sum of its parts: just a few of the ways to describe what Solace Home Comfort provides its customers.

Though they primarily supply and install fireplaces – along with furnaces and air conditioning systems - what they hope to create is more than just that: it’s the sense comfort in all its forms.

“That idea of the hearth being the centre of the home – that’s an idea that goes back centuries, but it’s still true,” said Mike Masterton, one of the leadership team at Solace. “Particularly with fire places, it gives people that feeling of a safe haven, a place to gather in the evenings, to be with family. It’s a centrepiece and it’s not just about the warmth that it creates but about that feeling in your home.”

Masterton notes that one of the things they hear most often from customers is how happy they are with the finished product – but how much they wish they’d done it earlier.

“People say that a lot, why didn’t I do this ten years ago, 15 years ago,” he said. “It really adds so much to

your home space and your living space, and these days from a heating efficiency perspective, to put a new gas fireplace insert into an existing old-fashioned fireplace really turns something that is a net energy loss in your home to a significant gain.”

The Burnaby-based company has been providing heating and cooling solutions for residential properties for more than 30 years and their constant steady growth is testament to the reputation they’ve built.

“We’ve got a real passion for what we do, everyone here is dedicated to really ensuring the customer gets what they want and what they need,” he said. “In new construction you’re putting in the newest products but with older housing stock it can mean going in and assessing what will work best, replacing those old inefficient wood-burning fireplaces. “People are often surprised at how simple it is, to get a fireplace insert done.”

Masterton says in particular their partnership with Valor Fireplaces, based in North Vancouver, and other

high-quality suppliers, has helped Solace develop a name for quality and integrity.

“Most of our new customers are referrals from previous customers who were happy with what we did,” he said. “But in fact we also get a lot of customers who have worked with us before.

They move into a new home and miss what they had at the previous home, and they’ll come back to us again.”

The company also provides furnace and air conditioning products, with clients from West Vanouver to Maple Ridge, and south of the Fraser River as well.

“We have the team and the partnerships to really be able to cover a wide service area, which is really great for the customers,” he said.

“Really at the end of the day, we want people to enjoy their homes – that’s what it comes down to. Comfort is about so many things and we feel like we provide that.”

The company has a second office based in Port Coquitlam, with the primary office on Hastings in North Burnaby.

“This is a great home base for us, it’s central and just a great community,” he said.

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE Gateway Casinos - Grand Villa

T

here’s two options for every business that has done well: rest on your laurels, or look to the future.

For Gateway Casinos Grand Villa Burnaby, the choice is clear.

“We have a wonderful property here – Grand Villa is really our flagship property – but we always want to be thinking about what we can do better, what can we do for our visitors and guests, what’s our next step,” said Rowland England, Gateway’s vice president of operations for BC West. “That’s an ongoing process, but right now in particular is a very exciting time as we roll out a number of changes.”

The organization, which marked its 25th anniversary this year, announced a $15 million investment in renovation and upgrades to the popular Burnaby destination. Those include an expansion to the poker room, an expanded VIP gaming room, the introduction of several new restaurant choices – including Atlas Steak + Fish – as well an expansion to the current buffet, as well as new carpeting in the casino area, upgrades to the rooms and public spaces at the adjoining Delta Hotel Burnaby Conference Centre, and more. Those would be a challenge for any business to undertake, but in a 24-7, 365-day operation, it presents a unique task.

“We plan everything down to the finest detail, especially around the timing, so that there is minimal impact to our guests, no matter which part of the property they’re visiting,” he said. “That’s our biggest goal in all of this, is to be able to bring these new changes to our guests as seamlessly as possible.”

So far, so good, he says, noting that facility renovations have already been underway; Atlas opened its doors to considerable fanfare and other projects are well in hand. “What it really comes down to is creating a destination,” said England. “We want to provide that overall entertainment experience – it’s not just gambling here. There’s food and beverage options, there’s places to meet with friends, to watch a hockey game, to celebrate a special occasion. It’s a night out, or a quiet dinner, or an exciting event. It’s really that allaround entertainment vision.” Drawing guests in means offering not just great choices – like unique lounge spaces or great menus – but also, particularly in this region, being a convenient and easy choice.

‘‘

What it really comes down to is creating a destination. … It’s really that all-around entertainment vision. – Rowland England

“We’re right off the highway, and we have a huge parking facility that is free for guests,” he said. “Parking on a night out can be very challenging, and costly. And that’s just not the case here. It’s a small thing perhaps but it’s just one more thing to offer our guests.”

England says he’s excited to see the renovations and upgrades roll out and what it means for the future of Grand Villa and Gateway itself.

“This company is very progressive, very focused,” he said. “It’s all about the guest, all the time, and exceeding guest expectations.”

With a team of about 1,200 staff – and

growing all the time – England says now is a good time for people keen to build a career in the industry. “We have a great team here, a wonderful management culture,” he said.

“We’re a very large employer here in Burnaby and we will be for a long time.”

Gateway Casinos has 26 properties in all, including Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, which offers two casino floors with slot machines, table games and a poker room, as well as higher stakes and private gaming salons, along with eight dining, bar and lounge options, live entertainment and hotel accommodations at Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre.

he clink of glasses. Low lights and laughter. Old friends. New friends. Simple flavours from a classic menu. And all in the heart of a bustling entertainment centre.

The new Atlas Steak + Fish at the Delta Hotels Burnaby, part of the Grand Villa Casino complex, has put a modern twist on old-school charm with its updated take on the iconic North American steakhouse.

For executive food and beverage manager Sylvain Cuerrier, the new restaurant is certainly a jewel in the crown of the Gateway Casino organization but the guiding principles behind it are the same as those applied to every type of restaurant, regardless of size, style or menu.

“This is truly a destination, a real gem,” he said.

“But you can have all the pieces in place, a beautiful location, great food, but if you don’t focus on your customers, and take care of them, it will never work.

That is always the core of it.”

For Cuerrier this means being aware of the unique nature of the location. “We often talk about the fact that we are serving hotel guests and casino guests – and also guests who come in just to have a meal – but at the end of the day these are all people who choose to visit us here and they may have different needs but we tend to those needs in the same way – we put them at the centre of everything, the focus Executive Food and Beverage point of our Manager Sylvain Cuerrier decisions making process, and then you deliver the best.”

Making that happen means building a dynamic team of staff who are supported and encouraged to grow and learn.

“You take care of your people, you invest in them, and awaken them to a knowledge and possibilities they maybe did not know existed,” he said. “You take care of your staff, and they take care of your customer, and your customer takes care of you because they come back again, and they love what you gave them. That’s the trilogy. If you can do that, then you win on every front.”

The opening of Atlas Steak + Fish is one step in an ongoing process of revitalization at the popular Burnaby destination. Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, which is marking their 25th anniversary, announced in September it was rolling out a $15 million dollar package of upgrades at Grand Villa: renovations to the gaming floor, a refresh of the Delta Hotels Burnaby

said. “Everything we do here must stand on its own, must be the best you can make it. You cannot assume that guests who come here for the hotel or the casino will be a captive audience for what you offer. I always bear in mind: could I take this physical space, this menu, this staff, and transplant it to a street corner anywhere in Vancouver or Burnaby or somewhere else, and make it work.

You never take a customer for granted. If you know they would come in your door anywhere, and you can be proud of what you have built, then you have a winner.”

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE Dorigo Systems Ltd.

T

he technology is complex and cutting-edge, but the approach to business that has made Dorigo Systems a Canadian success story is as simple as it gets: do it right the first time.

That focus on quality – in an industry that can be known for putting too much focus on low cost – has made Dorigo one of the world leaders in electronics manufacturing services and has been a guiding principal since it first opened its doors in 1988.

It’s an approach that has paid off in spades: with the company set to celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2018, Dorigo’s reputation has grown far beyond the borders of its Burnaby birthplace.

“We pay attention to detail in everything we do for our customers. This is how we define excellence,” said Dorigo Systems founder and president, Mark Pillon, P. Eng. “Our growth can be attributed to Dorigo’s dedication to achieving the highest quality standards combined with the exceptional team that delivers Dorigo’s services.”

That focus on quality comes hand-in-hand with the knowledge that in the fast-paced world of new technology, time is always of the essence.

“Every step in the manufacturing process is time sensitive,” notes Pillon. “In the world of high technology, being first to market with a new product can mean the difference between success or failure.

Dorigo is well positioned to help our customers in bringing a quality product to market – faster.”

Using a framework they’ve dubbed The Dorigo Advantage – a three-pillared focus on stability, loyalty and longevity – the company has managed to garner continued accolades from the industry itself and the business community in general year after year.

While that’s exciting for the team at Dorigo, it’s the relationships they’ve built with their customers that is the true reward, and fuels a constant evolution to maintain high levels of excellence.

A key piece to the puzzle has been a “Design for Manufacturability” system: in simplest terms, a process that involves teaming up with customers and working in close collaboration from the very outset to ensure not just that the product works but that it’s done in the most efficient way possible, saving time and money along the way, while maintaining top-notch quality.

“We are partners in the manufacturing process who can deliver the highest level of quality for high precision electronics manufacturing,” says Pillon. “Quite simply –

We couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds. – Mark Pillon

we build it right the first time.”

Dorigo recently upgraded its certification to ISO 9001:2015 standards – a benchmark international standard – and as time goes on, the company has been converting many customers from “consigned” to “turnkey” – the latter being an approach in which a company turns over many or all aspects (such as part sourcing, board manufacturing, mechanical assembly and final test) to Dorigo.

It requires a lot of trust – which the company has more than earned over the years – and allows Dorigo to be a champion for tech innovators in B.C. and beyond, as they leverage their size, and the knowledge and experience

of staff, to help smaller companies develop their ideas. It would be easy to sit back and relax, resting on the laurels of accomplishments to date – but for Pillon and his team, there are always new ways to grow and improve. As technology continues to transform the world – in particular the ongoing development of the Internet of Things – so too will the company continue to transform to meet those challenges.

Major plans are already in the works for a largescale expansion.

“Within the next few years you can expect to see Dorigo attain an even greater level of efficiency and productivity – and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds.”

For example, Tomlinson points to a client who, through several moves, went from not believing they could own a home at all, to being mortgage free.

he hunt for a dream home is often focused on the physical: the type of house, the number of rooms, the neighbourhood it’s located in.

But in truth, making the right choice involves all sorts of less visible but equally critical considerations – and key among them is the mortgage.

The wrong mortgage can make the dream of home ownership into a nightmare – but the right one can be the foundation upon which the success of long-term financial success is built.

Making sure every client finds the latter is the philosophy that’s been driving Custom Mortgages since it opened its doors 10 years ago.

“Custom Mortgages was founded on the principal of helping people achieve their goal of real estate ownership in a way that helps them achieve other goals in their life as well,” said Rishel Tomlinson, principal mortgage broker with Custom. “My motto is: if you get your mortgage right, everything else becomes possible.”

For Tomlinson, that means sitting down with clients to look at goals, budgets and most importantly, cash flow, and not just figuring out the biggest possible amount a client can be approved for.

“Contrary to most mortgage application processes Rishel Tomlinson where the conversation begins by asking how much income is earned, at Custom Mortgages we begin the conversation by asking what type of property and location is desired, and depending on the given purchase price range for this type of product, we talk about what the individual cash flow needs are for each unique borrower, and from there provide them with their top three mortgage options and strategies to help them achieve their real estate purchase within the cash flow parameters we’ve identified.”

In other words: find success for each client by matching the right mortgage – type, conditions and size – to their actual lives, goals and financial situation.

For Tomlinson, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach means getting to know her clients and their goals – and staying with them for the long-term.

She’s worked with countless clients through that overwhelming “first home purchase,” helping them navigate the process – but she’s also worked alongside long-time clients through multiple home sales and purchases.

“It’s not a simple question and the app will help make it simple by working step by step through all the factors,” she said. “It can be a very stressful process for people when it comes time to buy or sell, to apply for a new mortgage, and really at the end of the day my job is to make it straight-forward, to make it comfortable and to make it work for my client, now and into the future.”

or Darren Burrows, the small things are as important as the big ones.

The long-time Save-On-Foods team member, who took over the head role at the HighGate location in Burnaby last year, says you can’t overlook the tiny details when considering the big picture.

“There’s always a way to make things work better, to make customers enjoy their time here more, to be a better leader to your team, to create a great environment for everyone,” he says. “It might be just taking that last once-over in the produce department and making it look as perfect as possible – it’s a small thing but it adds up.”

That attention to detail and a constant quest for excellence across all measures – be it customer satisfaction, workplace environment, business practices, or innovation – is not unique to the HighGate store.

It’s part of the culture of the entire organization, from top to bottom, says Burrows.

“This company is really unique, really focused on being the best it can be,” said Burrows. “It’s an incredible place to work, and we hope it’s always the best place for our customers to shop.”

The store is constantly looking at new ways to Darren Burrows ensure that Save-On-Foods continues to be the number 1 choice for its customers. That might involve ensuring staff have special training for their departments, considering the visual impact of the various shopping areas, and expanding or shifting products based on demand.

As an example, Burrows points to the recent introduction of a line of British products from the UKbased Tesco grocery stores, which are now on shelves in the HighGate location.

“It’s been really exciting,” he said. “Save-OnFoods is the exclusive retailer for Tesco products in western Canada. The feedback I’ve been getting from customers has been unbelievable – it’s been even more popular than I expected. People come in to take a look and walk out with an armful of Tesco products.”

But Burrows is quick to note that the best looking store, and the most diverse product line, means nothing without a dedication to customers.

“That’s the big thing, at the end of the day. Always.

I’ve been with Save-On for 28 years and I learned that early on and I still instill that in my staff now.”

A smile might seem another “small” thing but it’s part of the “big picture” that continues to make Save-On-Foods one of B.C.’s best business stories.

found her passion in making a difference in the lives of clients and families who were experiencing difficulty in navigating the complex health care system.

Susan graduated from BCIT with a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology and has a certificate in Applied Project Management from Langara College. Like Wendy, she considers herself a lifelong learner, and continuously seeks out learning opportunities in the business and technical fields in order to ensure best practices in the franchise operations arena.

After working in the lab clinical field, Susan decided to embark on a career in the lab related field of instrumentation. This decision

‘‘

t’s a family affair – and a calling of compassion – for the co-owners of the local Nurse Next Door home care services. Wendy J. Scott and sister-in-law Susan Scott came together to offer a wide range of oneon-one home care services under the Nurse Next Door banner in Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities.

Headquartered with offices in the Royal City, the local office has customers of all ages, needs and requirements in the surrounding region – and their reputation has been growing by leaps and bounds.

They have won a number of awards including New Westminster Record’s Readers’ Choice Award, Burnaby NOW’s Best of Burnaby Award for Best In-Home Care, a first-place win in the Favourite Home Health Services three years in a row for A-List New Westminster, and have been included in the 50 over 50 National Awards, and nominated for the 2017 Business of the Year by the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce.

Considering the breadth and depth of experience both women bring from their backgrounds in health care and related fields, it’s perhaps no surprise that they’ve garnered so much recognition as they continue to grow their business.

Wendy came to the business with first-hand knowledge of the benefits of home nursing care thanks to a lifelong career in healthcare.

Susan’s entry into the world of home care services came from the personal experience of Wendy Scott (left) and Susan Scott struggling to (right), Co-Owners find reliable and respectful care for her ill mother. Having heard similar stories from other people, she knew that there was a growing need for the services that could be offered with Nurse Next Door. Wendy brings a wealth of experience with 45 years in the healthcare field. Her background includes roles in clinical and management/ leadership, coronary care, intensive care, emergency, and interventional cardiology. A lifetime learner, Wendy completed her diploma and baccalaureate degree in nursing and is a graduate of the master’s program in leadership and training from Royal Roads University.

She has also completed the Advanced Project Management Program from Langara College and the Canadian Legal Nurse Consulting program. She is also a certified dementia practitioner.

Susan too brings 45 years of experience with her to Nurse Next Door, coming from a background in the laboratory technology field and case management software, sales and marketing, project management, and customer service and support. Susan says she

led to experiences working with hospital and private labs involving sales, marketing, installation of equipment and applications support. After the lab, she went to support and sell case management software for cancer patients in Canada, the US and internationally.

Both Wendy and Susan say that they are focused on driving and building the strong Nurse Next Door brand in the local area.

With the ability to keep close attention on the New Westminster, Burnaby and Tri-Cities communities, the pair say that families here can be confident they are receiving the best in home care services for seniors and others in need.

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE Forest Lawn Memorial Park & Funeral Home

T

he days and weeks after a loved one passes can be full of unexpected challenges, endless details to sort through, and tasks one had never even imagined – on top of grief, sadness, and shock.

The goal for the team at Forest Lawn and Ocean View Cemeteries and Funeral Homes (Dignity Memorial provider) is to lighten the load as much as possible by helping people plan in advance.

“Pre-arrangement is just that: when you take care of your arrangements ahead of time,” said Mike Toth, senior sales manager. “This is something that a lot of people still aren’t aware exists.”

Toth notes that there’s a myth – perpetuated perhaps by dramatic films or novels – in which sorting out details around funeral services and burial or cremation only happens after a person has passed away.

“This idea that it all begins at that moment leads to a lot of stress for people, a lot of uncertainty,” he said.

“Our job is to really relieve the burden on people, whether that’s a surviving spouse or adult children or whoever is tasked with making those decisions.”

Uncertainty around what a loved one might have

wanted if it’s never been discussed, or disagreement between family members on best options, can lead to a lot of heartache, he notes.

There is also an often unspoken stress after a death that is eased by prearrangement: finances.

“When someone has pre-arranged, they’ve taken care of that piece in advance,” he said. “That’s something we hear a lot from people who come in to set up a pre-arrangement – they don’t want their spouse or their children having that burden down the road. ”It also locks in pricing for the future at current levels. “When you consider how the various costs of living go up over 10 years or 20 years, you begin to see how that might be a significant savings,” he noted.

Pre-arranging also involves pre-planning of specific details – making written instructions around services, preferences for burial or cremation, and other decisions.

“These are things that people don’t always talk about and so when the time comes people can be left wondering ‘Am I making the right decision?’ And even within a family, between a husband and wife, there may

‘‘

We work very hard to look after our families with dignity and respect. – Mike Toth

be different individual wishes. Getting all of that sorted out in advance makes sense.” It all comes down to one ultimate goal: making the most difficult day of someone’s life a little bit easier.

“I’ve heard it from so many people over the years: people saying ‘I’m so happy mom and dad made these decisions in advance, I’m so happy I know what to do here, it’s made this challenging time easier for us.’”

In addition, many people aren’t aware of all the various options available to them, assuming there are only one or two choices when it comes

‘‘

Mike Toth, Senior Sales Manager

to wishes or to paying for them.

In fact, notes Toth, there are a wide variety of alternatives, as well as flexibility in payment plans. “We really encourage people to come in and talk to us and learn more,” he said. “We work very hard to look after our families with dignity and respect. We’re never going to be able to undo the grief but we can make it a little less painful to get through the process.

We never lose sight of the fact that to each person this is possibly the hardest event of their lives.”

or many people, talking about money is stressful – for Harjit Sandhu, talking about money, and helping people feel comfortable doing the same, is all in a day’s work.

“That’s what it’s all about – I want my clients to feel confident, have a plan and know they’re headed in the right direction,” he said.

As a Senior Consultant with Investors Group, Sandhu has been providing investment, debt management, wealth, estate planning and tax planning services to a wide range of clients. “We work with every type of client: corporate business owners, individuals, families,” he said. “What we do for people is help them save money, pay off their debts faster and provide for themselves and their loved ones for a more secure financial future.”

Sandhu says people of all income levels – yes, even low income – can be helped significantly with a little planning.

“If anything, someone coming in with less to start with are the people who can really benefit over the long term by working with us – planning is always a benefit,” he said. The same goes for lack of knowledge – a factor which can sometimes make people avoid looking at

their financial situation altogether. “That’s why we’re here – we walk clients through all of it, how estate planning works or tax planning, whatever they need,” he said. He says he encourages everyone to consider the benefit of planning, regardless of age or stage of life or income level.

“When we’re meeting people for the first time, we hope they see right away that different level of service we’re bringing to the table – our expertise and knowledge – and then to begin to learn what financial planning is all about, and walk through that with them.”

Providing financial planning services as part of the Investors Group team is “wonderful,” says Sandhu.

“We’re the leading financial planning firm in Canada.”

Investors Group first opened its doors in Canada in 1926; there are now more than 100 offices across the country, with a head office located in Winnipeg. The company also has a strong commitment to community involvement in the Burnaby Community; it is major donor/supporter to the Burnaby Rotary Club, South

‘‘

I want my clients to know they’re headed in the right direction. – Harjit Sandhu

Burnaby Neighborhood House and the Burnaby Salvation Army. The company’s philosophy includes a strong focus on creating long-term relationships with clients to help provide solid financial advice at various life stages. That’s a philosophy that Sandhu stands behind. “You create a relationship of trust and respect, and help your client with their goals – that’s positive for everyone,” he said.

“The relationships that I develop with my clients over time is very rewarding.” Sandhu

Harjit Sandhu and his team

notes that there are approximately 40 financial planners working through the Greater Vancouver Central office – a culturally diverse group representing a number of languages to serve the population of the region. Sandhu, who holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from SFU, a Bachelor of Business Administration from Kwantlen University College and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, has won a number of national and local awards for his work in financial planning.

term relationships, we want our customers to come back to us, so that’s not just giving great service… it’s also about understanding what they need, like prolonging the life of their equipment or giving them efficient energy options to save money. Our mission is to inspire our team to constantly exceed our customers’ expectations with every aspect of their plumbing, drainage, heating and air conditioning needs. Plain and simple.” As they move into their seventh decade in business, Vern is excited that the family business will continue under the Milani wing: his son Alexander is a member of the team as the Commercial Accounts Manager, and Vern hopes his younger son, Christopher, will follow suit in a few years. As a long-time resident of

‘‘

lot has changed since Demetrio Milani started the family business back in 1956. Back then, Demetrio’s tools were a collection of shovels and picks in a sack flung over his shoulder each morning, and a trolley car took him around the city to do his work. An Italian immigrant who came to Canada alone at 13 with just $50 in his pocket, he learned early on that success takes a lot of effort. As he started the Milani business, he quickly known for the integrity of his work and a willingness to put in hard work to get the job done right.

In 1986, Demetrio’s son, Vern, bought the business from his father and has grown the company from just 2 trucks to 100 trucks, more than 140 staff and top-notch equipment, and services Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Vern attributes this growth to continuing to operate the business on the core principles his father taught him.

Despite all that growth, one thing has remained a constant in the six decades since the business began: an expectation of excellence in all things.

“It’s a very different world these days. My father would go out and follow the new city sewer lines and then offer his services to people who had septic tanks, but wanted to connect to the system,” notes Vern Milani.

“They didn’t have back hoes Alex and Vern Milani then… he did everything by hand. These days we do a lot more than sewer lines – we’re a one stop shop for plumbing, drainage, heating and air conditioning in houses, residential and commercial buildings. We have the capabilities now to do repairs, maintenance, retrofits and installations 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

For Milani, that means taking pride in fast, fair, reliable service - with a human touch.

“We call our core values P.I.P.E. – passion, integrity, professionalism and empathy,” he said.

That last component is a key piece of what has made Milani the success story it is, says Vern.

“We’re in the service business, we’re dealing with people every day – when a home or building has a flood, or they have a broken pipe, or it’s the middle of winter and the furnace or boiler breaks and its cold, we need to be really aware of the fact that this can be really stressful,” he said. “Our job is to understand not just what to do to fix a problem but to take care of the customers along the way, too.” It’s a compassionate approach, but also one that has proven a success from a business perspective. “We’re looking for long-

Burnaby, it’s been rewarding to not just build a strong business in his home community, but to also give back, says Vern. “We support various organizations – BC Children’s Hospital, Coast Mental Health and Canadian Cancer Society to name a few. I have also been on numerous non-profit boards like the Burnaby Hospital Foundation board and Better Business Bureau board for many years,” he said. Milani is also involved with several community organizations and environmental protection initiatives.

“We all need to make an effort to leave a healthy planet where our children and grandchildren can thrive,” said Vern. “We take a lot of pride in being a part of making sure that happens.”

Mark your calendars, Burnaby.

The Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society’s sixth annual angel breakfast and toy drive is set for Friday, Dec. 1.

The fundraiser, held at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, supports Burnaby Community Services’ Christmas Bureau and the CKNW Orphans’ Fund. Last year, the event raised $10,000 in cash and $12,000 worth of toys, which go to kids who may not otherwise receive a gift under their tree.

“People can come and drop off of a toy and get a free breakfast,” said Jeff Clark, president of the Burnaby firefighters union.

“We also have the firefighters band playing.We have the Burnaby South high school band playing, and we have Stephen Scaccia, a Canadian recording artist.”

Clark called it “a pretty festive time of

year,” when everybody comes together to support families less fortunate.

“We realize how fortunate we are with the lives we have; we see so much day to day in the fire department. If there’s an opportunity for us to be able to help out families that can’t afford to celebrate Christmas like everyone else does, we’d like to think we’re one of the first ones to get on board to help,” he told the NOW. If folks can’t stay for the breakfast, firefighters will be outside of the hotel collecting donations. Anyone who goes through the “drive-thru” will receive a coffee and muffin from McDonald’s. (Toys must be new and unwrapped.)

Burnaby’s seven fire halls are also collecting donations from now until Dec. 1.

“We just hope the community will get on board for this because we think it’s a great opportunity and it’s a great time of year where we can help out,” said Clark.

Compassion and Understanding for Self: Try to bring the same compassion and understanding for yourself the way you would a close friend. This includes being gentle and loving towards yourself.

LET’S REMEMBER OUR LOVED ONES

BY LIGHTING A CHRISTMAS TREE MONDAY, DECEMBER 4TH, 2017 7:30PM - 8:00PM OCEAN VIEW FUNERAL HOME 4000 IMPERIAL, BURNABY

Plan Ahead and Give Additional Time: Keep the planning and celebrations simple and it is okay to say “no” when needed. If you are feeling overwhelmed, ask for help and tell others what you need.

Emotions: Know that there will be mixed emotions and that they may intensify this time of the year. This is a common process of grief. Accept your emotions and find comfortable way to express yourself: journaling, arts & crafts, talking with family/ friends or getting professional help/appropriate resources.

Honoring Traditions/Creating New Rituals:

Coping With Grief During The Holidays Holidays and special events bring to mind family, friends, festivities and fun and can be steeped in tradition and rituals experienced throughout all cultures. For those struggling through the loss of a loved one, holidays can bring forth at time of deep grief, challenging transitions, a reminder of those absent in our lives, and difficulty in coping.

Although getting through the holidays can be challenging and will be different, after the loss of a loved one, here are some suggestions to help you to cope, to figure out what you need, and to assist you in creating a new and meaningful holiday.

Grieving is a natural part of healing and can create many ups and down especially during the holiday season. Remember that you are not alone in your grief and that it is important to ask for help from those around you in a personal or professional capacity. Be kind to yourself and know that the Burnaby Hospice Society is here to support you on your journey through grief.

Suggestions to help you face the holidays without your loved one:

Holidays are different without our loved ones. Explore which traditions are meaningful to you and which one you many want to change or let go of. It is okay to make new holiday rituals by doing what feels right to you.

Remembering Your Loved One: There are many ways to honour your loved one such as giving a gift or donation in her/his name, sharing favorite stories with those who are supportive, lighting a candle, displaying photos, creating a special space/place in which to reflect on your memories.

Giving Permission: Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to find moments of joy during grief. It is healthy to put a pause on your grief and to catch your breath in order to find a better balance. You are not dishonoring your loved one by leaning into your life and enjoy it. Allow yourself space to have some fun.

Faith Base: Touch base with what gives your life meaning and gain strength from your sense of faith. This is very broad, and for some, this is attending a faith-based practice, walking in nature, getting in touch with your creativity, praying and reading affirmations, meditation/mindfulness practice and self-help books.

Royal City Youth Ballet Company Society proudly presents, for the 29th season, the full length ballet, the Nutcracker.

Gift ideas for active folks Christine Blanchette RUN WITH IT

editorial@burnabynow.com

This week’s column is dedicated to those exasperated yet determined shoppers who draw blanks annually from about now until Dec. 24 on what to buy their spouse for Christmas.

Then, with eyes like dinner plates, they venture out en masse to the mall, hoping for last-minute inspiration.

The key is getting out early, which reduces stress and guarantees you’ll be the one who buys something that sells out early.

To get your holiday shopping started, here are my top picks for the runner on your list.

SAFETY Running outdoors can be dangerous if you are not visible to drivers or seeing clearly what is in front of you.The WhoAMI company has a two-in-one product – visibility and ID.The LED ID arm band also works on your wrist. It’s perfect for runners or anyone following

an active lifestyle.You’ll feel the love every time he or she heads out the door. Don’t forget to write down your ID information. Being seen will enhance your safety and is the key to running outdoors with less light during the winter.

RELAXATION After a workout in colder temperatures, imagine a warm bath with Dr.Teal’s Epsom Salts. It relaxes muscles and mind alike, pretty well simultaneously. It’s the carrot in front of you during your long run in the pouring rain and makes a good stocking stuffer.

CHARITY Give the gift of charity by purchasing socks. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada has partnered with Canadian retailer Bootlegger to launch a limited edition collection of Holiday Slipper Socks.The money raised helps ensure that Canadian youth who are in need of a mentor receive the support of an adult to help them tackle issues like bullying and help to give them

self-confidence. Currently, more than 40,000 children are matched with volunteers in their mentoring programs.Their challenge is to find matches for the thousands of youth on their waiting list.

Retailing for $10, one dollar of each pair sold directly benefits the charity.

This stocking stuffer is the coziest way to say Merry Christmas.The Plush Slipper Socks come in three festive styles (reindeer, penguin and owl) that would make the jolliest addition to any holiday stocking.

GOOD READS Give a book to the runner who will relate to these good reads: Olympic Collision – the story of Mary Decker and Zola Budd, by Kyle Keiderling; and Just Call Me Jock – a story on longtime Boston Marathon race director Jock Semple, by Tom Murphy.

Remember, you can’t go wrong by adding chocolates to all of the above.

For more, see www.run withit.ca or follow Christine on Twitter @christineruns.

Communitynow #FLASHBACKFRIDAY

FRAMED? Hundreds of local Ben Johnson supporters were sprinting to The Dog’s Ear T-Shirt Boutique in October 1988 to buy Who Framed Ben Johnson T-shirts. In two weeks, staff at the Lougheed Mall store said they sold more than 300 of the shirts, which referenced both the stripping of Johnson’s 100-metre sprint gold medal for doping at the Seoul Olympics a month earlier and the 1988 live action/animated hit movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Some customers who bought the shirts felt Johnson had been duped by managers, trainers and others in his circle; others bought them for comic relief. In the photo above, Dog’s Ear manager Valerie Ashton shows off one of the popular garments. PHOTO NOW ARCHIVES

We need to cure the world of ‘plant blindness’ Anyone would be impressed. Standing in front of the skeleton of a blue whale has a jaw-dropping effect. It is hard to imagine a mammal that big.We were at the Royal Ontario Museum, enjoying a special birthday treat with family, which is about as rare as a Blue whale sighting.

At 25 metres (80 ft.) long and 150 tonnes, a blue whale is hard to beat for bigness.

Unless you are looking at a 350-year-old white oak, like the one that grows in a residential back yard in Etobicoke. Believed to be the oldest tree in Toronto, this Methuselah of trees could tell a lot of stories about our history, if only it could talk.

Heritage designation had been applied for on behalf of this behemoth, over 10 years ago. As of today, it still has not been granted.

The point is: we will go to enormous lengths to preserve a whale, take it apart

nomic, environmental and social benefits, including urban forests, bio swales, engineered and natural wetlands, ravines, meadows, agricultural lands and more.”

ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE The Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition provides some important numbers: The “green” sector employs 140,000 in the private sector in Canada (for comparison, Chrysler Canada employs about 10,000).

Including the public sector, over 280,000 people are employed in the green sector.

Consumers spent about $11.7 billion on landscaping and horticultural products last year.

The farm gate value of horticultural trees, shrubs and other plants grown on Canadian farms is over $2 billion.

Green Infrastructure provides a lot of Canadian jobs and is a powerful economic engine.

As DiGiovanni says, “It is the job of our profession to

tell our story of benefits in ways that will be heard.”

GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT …

Here is the buzz.

Last spring, on Mother’s Day, our family gathered at our house for a celebration.

We asked our two sons-inlaw, Rene and Martin, to come to the backyard.We walked them quietly down

If only we could see the oxygen that we inhale …

to a 10-metre-high pussy willow and stopped under it, asking for silence.

“What is that?” they both exclaimed in a loud whisper.We pointed up into the branches of the willow where thousands of honey bees were busy harvesting an abundance of nectar and pollen.The buzz was deafening.

From that day on, our pussy willow is looked up to differently by those two.

More accurately, it will be looked upon, finally. A large flowering shrub among many others in our 10-acre garden, this tree was easy to overlook until the bees discovered it. And we discovered the bees.

CURING PLANT BLINDNESS Perhaps, there is the rub: when we find wildlife that engages with the green world around us, we notice the green living world that supports it.

The benefits of green infrastructure are many. Here are just a few: Lower up-front construction costs for the same level as “grey” infrastructure.

Green infrastructure often reduces maintenance costs of other infrastructure and expands the lifespans.

The shade and cooling effects of mature street trees, for example, significantly extend the life of asphalt roads and concrete sidewalks under their canopy.

Green infrastructure can prevent large-scale damage and reduce costs of floods (this should be of interest to insurance companies and municipalities alike).

If only we could see the oxygen that we inhale, manufactured exclusively by the green, living plants around us.

If only we could put a value on the toxins that are filtered by lawns and tree roots from rain water.

If only we could pick the fresh fruit from all the trees in our yard.

Perhaps then, we would not be so blind.

and display it in a museum, but we have trouble noticing the importance of a tree that is more than twice the size and almost 10 times the age of a whale.

Botanists now have a term for this: plant blindness.

In 1998, researchers James Wandersee and Elisabeth Schussler introduced the term “plant blindness.”

The research showed that when people looked at pictures of different landscapes, most would notice the animals and other objects before plants.

Tony DiGiovanni, executive director of Landscape Ontario, responds to these findings with this, “Something that is unappreciated and unnoticed has little value.” And he is determined to fix that.

Landscape Ontario is a founding member of Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition, an organization that represents the interests the “natural vegetative systems and green technologies that collectively provide society with a multitude of eco-

Steelers on a roll

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

There’s lots of empathy for the Surrey Knights hockey team – who are currently 0-for-82, with five overtime losses since November of 2015.

But the Grandview Steelers weren’t about to show them any mercy last week.

The Steelers trounced the Knights 8-2, building up a 6-0 lead after 40 minutes while spreading the offence around.

“Absolutely, you feel for them,” Grandview head coach Stevan Matic said of Surrey and its two-yearsand-counting losing skid.

“It just shows the passion they have for the game that they’re still battling to get that win.They want it badly, and it showed us you have to be ready every game.”

Connor Alderson scored twice, while linemates Nico Bruno and Brodie Crawford combined for a goal and seven assists between them.

The win moved Grandview into a tie for second place in the Tom Shaw Conference, and just as importantly, gave them sixth straight wins in November.

Play

Considering they dropped the final four games of October, this win streak has been a great turn of events.

“We’re definitely playing a little better, at all areas,” said Matic. “(The four losses) were all against tough teams, it was a tough stretch and we just couldn’t get on the right side of it.”

The Steelers have managed to beat a few elite Pacific Junior B Hockey League rivals during the current streak, including North Van last week.

Helping in the turnaround has been the contributions of Alderson and Crawford, who were recent additions to the club.

“They both are consistently finding the score sheet and the addition of Nico (Bruno) to their line has worked well.

“Crawford’s more of a physical player and Alderson brings finesse.”

Netminder Matteo Petrelli turned aside 23 shots.

Grandview visits Ridge Meadows tonight, then returns home Sunday for a rare 12:45 p.m. game against North Van at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Moscrop reclaims momentum Panthers clinch provincial berth with gritty run at Lower Mainlands

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Taking something positive from a disappointment is a real underappreciated skill.

The Moscrop Panthers are a team who’ve learned that lesson.

The senior girls volleyball team head to next week’s provincials angling for some spin-off success.

They turned a disappointing result at the Burnaby-New West league playoffs ito a strong showing at the Lower Mainlands, earning a berth to the B.C.s by placing third overall.

“I’ll be honest,” noted Moscrop coach Kim Or. “I was really tough on them. I knew what they could do, but they were a little down from losing (to Burnaby Central in the league playoff final).”

While they launched the Low-

Burnaby Mountain

Golf Course & Driving Range 604-280-7355

er Mainlands last week by dropping the first playoff game to Sir Winston Churchill, Moscrop responded and pounded out the next three games to take the match 3-1.

It clinched a top-four finish and a berth to the B.C.s, which run Nov. 29 to Dec. 2 in Langley.

“That was probably their best game (of the year),” said Or. “That was a game we needed to win, but I didn’t tell them that. I think that (first-game) loss was a hangover from the (league) final.”

It propelled them into the semifinal on Saturday against No. 2-ranked Handsworth. And while they fell 3-0 to the Royals, Moscrop powered up for the bronze medal match later in the day, when they downed Van Tech 2-1.

“I told them not to think about third or fourth, just go and play,” noted Or. All this was accomplished without

standout middle power Camilla Di Vito, who suffered a lower body injury in the Peace Arch tournament nearly a month ago.

Her absence has added extra stress to others to fill the gap, but Or hopes she may be able to return sometime at the provincials.

“We’ve been resting her, and she’s going to rehab and there’s been some progress,” remarked the coach. “For us to do well (at the provincials) everyone has to step up. I’m very fortunate that I have 10 players capable of playing at this level, and all 10 will see action in every single set.”

The Panthers lineup is loaded with Grade 11s, as only Mari Wong and Di Vito are seniors who will graduate at the end of the school year.

“We’ve faced adversity but this has been an unbelievable season,” added Or. “There’s been zero (drama).”
