Report looks at teacher complaints in B.C. Misconduct complaints are almost twice as likely to involve interactions with a special needs student

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Complaints about teacher misconduct in B.C. are almost twice as likely to involve a special needs student, according to the man once in charge of disciplining B.C. teachers – and he says inadequate

teacher preparation is to blame.

In his final annual report as commissioner for teacher regulation, retired B.C. Supreme Court judge Bruce Preston said the inappropriate treatment of special needs students is an issue behind a disproportionate number of reports and complaints about teach-

ers made to the Teacher Regulation Branch.

He pointed to a June 2017 study he commissioned that looked at 1,037 teachers who had been the subject of a report or complaint of misconduct.

The study concluded teachers are almost twice as likely to run

into disciplinary complaints for interactions with special needs students as students generally.

Preston, whose five-year term as commissioner ended in November, also cited a 2015 survey of new teachers in their first four years of holding a teaching certificate.

Gallery tells Coast Salish stories Deer Lake Gallery is offering Burnaby residents a chance to learn more about Coast Salish culture and traditions.

Its Coast Salish Stories series continued on Saturday, Feb. 10 with a presentation by Brandon Gabriel (Kwelexwecten), who demonstrated the art of creating a traditional drum. Here, he demonstrates the second stage of creation, applying sinew to reinforce the drum – while Queenie So and twoyear-old Koen (below) look on.

Gabriel was born and raised on the Kwantlen First Nation Reserve at Fort Langley. He was educated in cultural anthropology, visual art and marketing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, then received his bachelor’s degree in visual art from Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

He works as a contemporary mixed-media artist, and his work has been exhibited in the U.K., U.S.A., Hong Kong and across Canada.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Complaint about homophobic slurs dismissed ‘Not every failure to be kind or respectful requires state intervention,’ writes tribunal member in decision Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint of a Burnaby man allegedly subjected to a “tirade” of homophobic slurs by his Burnaby strata neighbour.

Hugh Finnamore launched a complaint against his Patterson Court Strata at 5400 Patterson Ave. after an incident on Oct. 16, 2016, according tribunal documents.

He told the tribunal he had been driving out of the strata’s parkade when a fel-

low resident sawing wood in the driveway yelled out, “Is that enough room for you princess?”

Finnamore said he responded by “flipping him off,” getting out of his vehicle and asking his neighbour “what the deal was,” according to tribunal docu-

ments.

According to Finnamore’s complaint, the neighbour then launched into a tirade, directing homophobic slurs at him and asking him why he didn’t just move out because everyone in the strata hates him.

Finnamore complained to

the strata council, he said, but the council did nothing to address his fellow resident’s homophobic conduct during the incident.

Finnamore alleged this constituted discrimination on the part of the strata.

Tribunal member Barbara Korenkiewicz disagreed.

“Not every failure to be kind or respectful requires state intervention,” Korenkiewicz wrote in a ruling Feb. 2. “This includes failures with discriminatory overtones – and therefore highlights a distinction between comments that may Continued on page 5

Local RCMP track down man wanted in Alberta Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mounties notched an assist last week for the arrest of a 26-yearold man wanted on a firearms-related warrant in Al-

berta.

The suspect had allegedly pointed a gun at another person inside a home in Airdrie, Alta. on Feb. 4.

Mounties say the man fled the scene with the weapon before returning a

short time later to retrieve several rifles.

RCMP responded to the home, but by that time the suspect had left.

A search revealed a hockey bag containing imitation firearms, ammuni-

tion, holsters and a pistol magazine.

The suspect was identified as 26-year-old Cody Theodore Fowlie of Airdrie, and a warrant for his arrest was issued on Feb. 6.

RCMP in Alberta con-

tacted the Burnaby detachment on Feb. 7, providing information that Fowlie was at an address in the 7000 block of Inlet Drive, according to Burnaby RCMP. He was arrested without

incident that day.

Fowlie faces a number of charges, including assault, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.

Tribunal won’t hear complaint over homophobic slurs Continued from page 3 be ‘discriminatory’ in the everyday sense of that word, and comments that amount to discrimination, within the meaning and scope of human rights legislation.”

haviour.

“In my view, the complaint does not merit using the Tribunal’s scarce resources,” Korenkiewicz said.

But, while she dismissed

Finnamore’s complaint before a hearing, Korenkiewicz did not let strata councils off the hook for not intervening in discriminatory behaviour that unreasonably interferes with another resident’s right to use and enjoy common strata property.

The strata had argued it didn’t address the alleged homophobic comments made by Finnamore’s neighbour because strata corporations are not in the business of “policing conduct” between residents.

“I do not find this argu-

Ashton College’s Premiere Event

ment persuasive as the Tribunal’s case law establishes that, where a protected ground under the Code is engaged, strata corporations regularly address disputes as between residents arising from conduct such as smoking or making excessive noise, for example,”

Korenkiewicz wrote. “When a strata corporation acts on a resident’s complaint and notifies another resident to cease their offending conduct or ultimately imposes a fine for breach of a bylaw in such scenarios, it clearly is – to use the Strata’s phrase – policing conduct as between

residents.”

In dismissing Finnamore’s complaint, Korenkiewicz noted she made no findings of fact, but only recited the submission of both parties relevant to her decision.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

High time could have bumps in the road ahead After decades of sniggers about it being “high time” to legalize marijuana, and winks about 4/20 celebrations, the world of weed is ditching the jokes about reefer madness and going mainstream.

Last week, the province announced its long-awaited regulations on where and how legalized pot will be sold – in a manner similar to alcohol sales.

B.C.’s approach to the issue seems prudent to most

observers and is based on some of the lessons learned in other jurisdictions. Marijuana will be legal, but it won’t be a total free-for-all.

Much to the relief of local politicians, municipalities will have a big say about who gets one of the coveted provincial pot shop licences.

That means those operators who have been the subject of court action, or who’ve caused major headaches where they’ve set

up in advance of the legal starting line, might not be at the front of the line.

A number of regulations also set out fairly strict oversight on who’s allowed to be involved in the pot business, with the goal of keeping out organized crime. Key to that, however, will be enforcement.

The issue of criminals using legal “fronts” for a licence has already been raised as a concern.

If the province’s abili-

ty to keep criminals out of casinos or to enforce rules around proxies in the real estate industry is any indication, we have reasons to be wary.

And, of course, there is no way to know with any precision what, if any, impact legalizing pot will have on local policing resources.

Will the RCMP be inundated with calls about pot-smoking in public? Will driving under the influence of pot add another level

of concern for the public’s safety?

Next door, the City of New Westminster is already developing a thoughtful five-point plan anticipating the legalization. New West is also providing opportunities for public input and dialogue.

In Burnaby, there doesn’t appear to be any move to gather general public input, but the city is anticipating treating the new pot situation akin to

the way it has dealt with liquor sales.That said, the road ahead is sure to be bumpy.

Throwing another mood-altering substance into the public mix will certainly have impacts that we are not prepared for.

But if we acknowledge that any plan we have now may need to be changed down the line, maybe we can all breathe a little easier.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Nary a peep on pipeline plans It is telling that the words “Kinder Morgan” and “pipeline” were not contained in this week’s throne speech, an indication perhaps that the B.C. NDP government is trying to cool down emotions on the pipeline issue. In fact, it wasn’t until the very end of a long speech that bitumen – the Alberta oil sands product that flows through the Kinder Morgan pipeline – was even mentioned, and even then the speech said the government was simply “considering new protections” to improve the ability to respond to bitumen spills. No mention of the contentious idea of creating a new regulation to control how much bitumen actually flows in the pipe. No mention of the pipeline itself.

A lot of the speech was spent addressing housing and child care, and other issues – such as affordability, inequality, health care, reconciliation, infrastructure, public safety, education and mental health – were all devoted significant portions of the speech.

The first reference to bitumen was the seventh-tolast paragraph, an indication perhaps of the B.C. NDP not wanting to further strain relations with the Alberta NDP government. After vowing to use “every tool in the toolbox” to stop the Kinder Morgan expansion, the NDP government hit upon a novel idea: come up with regulations that would control the pipeline flow.

In response, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is blocking the importation of B.C. wine into her province, and

she has dropped strong hints at bringing in even more sanctions against B.C. It’s hard to see how B.C. wins this battle from a legal standpoint.The federal government has clear constitutional powers, and any attempt by the B.C. government to essentially stop a federally approved pipeline from operating would likely be quickly deemed unconstitutional by any court.

Of course, legalities are one thing. Politics is quite another, and this pipeline war is mostly about politics.

Political necessity requires Notley to take a very aggressive and determined stand when it comes to sticking up for her province’s number 1 industry and the provincial economy. She has to fend off United Conservative leader Jason Kenney, who wants to take even tougher sanctions against B.C. Horgan’s position is more nuanced. He must appease the sizeable environmental base of his party, but, at the same time, he cannot alienate the business community.

The real opposition will eventually move from the parliamentary stage to the extra-parliamentary one: the protest blockades and massive acts of civil disobedience will dwarf anything contemplated by the NDP government. And those protests may ultimately determine the fate of the pipeline.

Either the Trudeau government will steel itself and push the pipeline through, or Kinder Morgan tires of all the delays and protests and simply walks away.

Freak accident causes fire

A freak accident set off a dangerous chemical reaction at a Lougheed highrise in December. A bottle of Triple X Sewer Compound containing sodium nitrate somehow came into contact with water, unleashing a violent chemical reaction at the apartment building.The heat caused a fire in a nearby electrical panel, which is all crews thought they were dealing with until the smoke cleared and they realized they were dealing with chemicals. A hazmat team was called in and the damages were kept below $20,000.

‘MeToo’ cartoon did a disservice to women Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the cartoon you featured in the editorial section of your paper protesting the MeToo movement.

To the editor of this paper, I say shame on you for printing it.

As a senior and a lifelong feminist, I applaud the women who have come forward to protest the harassment and downright assault they have suffered.

I have found the vast majority of complaints to be in line with the experiences of the women I have known over the years.

Your cartoonist’s suggestion that multitudes of men are now living in fear of vexatious accusations is the first line of defence for abusive males and is not supported statistically.

I would suggest that any men who are unfairly accused turn to the law courts.

They have demonstrated their ability to adjudicate these matters in favour of male

City now ‘...the fact that we’re having this discussion is positive’ Continued from page 1 with my observations that interactions between teachers and special needs students are much more likely to lead to disciplinary complaints and that the source of the problem is inadequate teacher preparation,” Preston wrote in his report, which was submitted to Education Minister Rob Fleming at the end of October and recently made public.

“Instances of complaints and reports of teacher misconduct typically result from a reaction to student behaviour without any apparent regard to the special needs student’s particular vulnerabilities. In many cases, the teacher has not read or considered the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) before proceeding to address behaviour.”

Of 110 student-related complaints against teachers between January and September 2017, nearly 20 per cent involved complaints of teachers failing to properly follow Individual Education Plans, engaging in rude or taunting behaviour toward special needs students or disciplining special needs students inappropriately.

To address the problem, Preston said the Ministry of Education should move “quickly” to develop an online course for teachers who lack skills teaching specials needs students. “…The course should be developed with remedial as

well as continuing professional development use in mind,” he wrote.

Under Preston’s watch, the TRB, the Ministry of Education and the Justice Institute of B.C. in New Westminster, have already partnered to develop three other remedial courses for teachers to address professional boundaries, classroom management or conflict resolution problems.

The special needs course proposed by Preston would be the first to be offered online.

Suzanne Perrault, a parent of three children on the autism spectrum and a volunteer with B.C. Parents of Special Needs Children, said she had mixed feelings about Preston’s findings.

“It’s a very sad commentary on the state that we’re in right now trying to create fair and equitable education; however, the fact that we’re having the discussion is very positive,” she said.

As an advocate for parents of students with special needs, Perrault said she too has encountered classroom teachers who aren’t as aware of their students’ IEPs or the details of their diagnoses as they should be.

She said classroom teachers need support to make sure students with special needs get fair and equal access to education.

“It really falls on the Ministry of Advanced Education to ensure that the universi-

ties are providing this kind of training in the universities to ensure teachers are coming out post-grad going into the schools and having the tools they need with enough exposure to different diagnoses and what kind of supports could benefit the children at that time once they hit the classroom.”

Since September 2012, teacher education programs in B.C. have been required to include a mandatory “three credits or the equivalent” on teaching students with special needs, including diagnosis, planning for instruction and assessment and evaluation.

Sandra Bruneau, the executive director of the Association of B.C. Deans of Education, isn’t surprised some teachers straight out of university don’t feel adequately prepared to teach all special needs students after just one course.

“It could be the case that in certain cases not everything is completely covered; moreover, people have grandiose ideas about what a course in special ed enables the teacher to do,” she said.

“They need practical experience too, and in a teacher ed program of one year, they don’t get it.They have lots of practicum weeks, but those could be in classrooms with very few special ed students.”

Bruneau agrees the issue needs more attention but said she wasn’t sure

what more universities can do since there are already “a great many calls upon teacher ed programs to include everything under the sun.”

In Burnaby, new teachers – or experienced teachers facing an unfamiliar class makeup – have “many layers” of support at the ready to help them meet the needs of special needs students, according to Elizabeth Gardner, district principal of learning support services.

She said the district has

about 60 school-based learning support teachers with specialized university training in supporting students with special needs.

The district also has four district-level learning support teachers and two district board certified behaviour analysts who provide professional development for teachers as well as “sideby-side” support.

Asked to comment on Preston’s findings that teacher misconduct complaints in B.C. are almost

twice as likely to involve a special needs student, Gardner said it comes down to teachers accessing the support that’s there for them.

“It goes back to, do teachers understand who’s there to support them and do they access that help,” she told the NOW. “Those are questions I would have. Do you access the help when you’re having some challenges and is that help readily available to you?”

An international collaboration between Argentinian and Canadian artists is coming to the stage at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

Metamorphosis Butoh (PuedesVolar Mariposa) is onstage Feb. 21 to 24. It’s a collaboration between Gustavo Collini-Sartor and Salome Nieto, co-produced by Mundo Butoh of Argentina and the Vancouver-based pataSola dance.

The work explores the spirit of death and rebirth, a recurring theme in butoh – a traditional Japanese dance form.The piece is part of a larger work directed and created by Collini-Santor, with the title Origins, in which he explores the meaning and connections between ancestral memory, identity, truth and transformation.

Nieto notes the work dates back to 2011, when pataSola dance embarked on a journey to integrate the two esthetics that drive her work: Japanese butoh and the reality and surrealism of Mexico.

Death and rebirth: Metamorphosis Butoh is onstage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Feb. 21 to 24. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

DL#5505

“This exploration led me to Gustavo Collini-Sartor, who followed Butoh founder Kazuo Ohno for 10 years,” she said in a press release. “Our conversations and explorations of imagery, emotion and the work

of Kazuo Ohno organically led to the emergence of this piece.”

Take action, speak up and live your best life Dr. Davidicus Wong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

At the end of this life, we will each be judged by our words and actions.

For most of us, our greatest regrets may not be the mistakes that we made but rather what we never got around to doing and saying: the experiences we only dreamed of living and the expressions of love and appreciation left unsaid.

One of the great tragedies of human relationships is that few of us will know how much we mattered to others.We either take one

Unless we are deliberate, life will distract us and rob us of time.

another for granted or procrastinate the expression of our caring until all time has passed.

Considering that others will judge you and your life by your words and actions, how well do these represent your greatest values and noblest intentions? Will even those closest to you know the real you?

At least once each week (always on Sundays and sometimes on Wednesdays),

I take time to reflect on how I have scheduled my time.

There are only 24 hours in each day, seven days in each week and 52 weeks in each year. If we don’t pay attention to the hours, days and weeks slip away with the months and the years.

At the same time, I compare this to what is most important to me – my greatest values.

There are two modes of living that steer us away from what we value most.

In the reactive mode, we respond in the most expedient way to the challenge of the moment.We do what we can with what we have on hand. It consumes all of our attention, time and energy. And then, a new crisis arises. It’s like driving without a map, following detour after detour. At the end of your journey, you may be far from home.

In the autopilot mode, we act according to an unexamined routine.We do almost every activity each day because that’s what we did the day before, the week before and the year before. Before we’re ready, it’s time to retire or we’ve lost our job.

We don’t know where the time went or what to do with the little time left.

Unless we are deliberate, life will distract us and rob us of time.We can play Candy Crush Saga, watch endless funnyYouTubes, catch up on social media, channel surf, or shop online or in the mall.

Work will consume all

the time and energy you are willing to surrender. No one on their deathbed wishes they had spent more time making money.Will your family and friends appreciate all the time you spent at work and not with them?

Do you value your health?

If you don’t now, you will later when it’s too late to be preventive.What should you focus on today and schedule

each day to improve your future health? Every hour of healthy physical activity – a walk, a swim or a bike ride – is an investment in your personal health.

Do you have a dream – a creative pursuit that engages your imagination and abilities? How much time will you commit to it today and this week? This is an investment in personal fulfilment.

Do you value your relationships? What will you do today to deepen your connection to those who matter most? What do you appreciate and admire in others?

Tell them today!

It is never too early to express thanks.The attitude of gratitude is self-transformative: it creates the cup halffull.The expression of appreciation can transform

TIGHT FIT Before micro homes and tiny houses were a thing, the construction of this slender residence in the 8200 block of 12th Avenue raised eyebrows in January 1994. Measuring 60 feet long and just 10 feet, four inches wide, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home was going up on a lot only 16.5 feet wide. The property had likely been subdivided decades earlier when the parameters for lot sizes were a little different, according to then-Burnaby building chief George Humphrey.

Cariboo Hill adds sports academies Burnaby Burnaby school teams with SFU andVolleyball Canada to offer sports programs

By Dan Olson

Nolan Rigazzi and Riley Sabot are cool with it, and wouldn’t mind starting right now.

As it is, the two Cariboo Hill Secondary students can’t wait for the first chance to get to their first class come next September.

That’s when the school will launch a pair of sports academies – for lacrosse and volleyball players – that will provide specific training on the field, court and classroom.

“It’s been such a big part of my life, it’s kind of like a way to escape everything,” Sabot said of volleyball. “It’s something I really enjoy.

“I think (the academy) will be really exciting. It’ll be fun to get more practice in and make it a bigger part of my life.”

Olympic motivation for Burnaby bobsledder Discovering a new sport has brought kinesiology student through G-force and back

By Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby-based bobsledder Julie Johnson, and her brakeman Kori Hol, finished ninth at the women’s world junior two-man blobsleigh championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland three weeks ago.

It’s a long way from Blackstrap Mountain, the 45-metre man-made molehill outside Hanley, Sask., where 25-year-old Johnson, who trains at Fortius Sport and Health, tobogganed as a kid.

Johnson and Hol were Canada’s only team at the world junior championships that brought

the top competitors under the age of 26 to the 1,722-metre, naturally refrigerated track with 19 curves that snakes down the side of a Swiss mountain at an average gradient of 8.14 per cent.

It’s a huge step up in an athletic pursuit that started with a 40-second public tourist run at the Whistler sliding centre.

Her pilot that spring day in 2014 was twotime Canadian Olympian Kaillie Humphries.

“It’s such a shock to the system,” said Johnson of the ride she signed up for while taking a break from her studies in kinesiology at the University of British Columbia. “I think I forgot to breathe and definitely remember feeling G

forces in my back through the final corner.”

In fact, the experience so enthralled Johnson she started researching the sport and connected with a coach, Pat Brown.

“I saw an opportunity to be a competitive athlete again,” said Johnson, who figure skated, played fastball, competed in track and field and was on her high school’s six-man football team when she was growing up in Saskatchewan.

Finishing up her kinesiology degree and uncertain as to what to do next, Johnson threw herself at her new passion.

“All signs in my life at the time pointed to bobsled,” she said. “I remember telling my Continued on page 25

teams to semis

Byrne, Burnaby South boys and STM girls get closer to B.C. berths

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Byrne Creek has been ready for the final stretch drive for some time.

Fresh off claiming their third straight Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball league playoff title, the Bulldogs kicked off the 3-A Lower Mainland tournament on Wednesday with a decisive win.

By topping Steveston-London 94-52, Byrne Creek locked up a spot in the zone semifinal and are one step closer to claiming a berth to the provincials.

“The key was how we responded,” the Bulldogs head coach Bal Dhillon said. “(Steveston) play a very tough, tough zone, and it was just finding a way to navigate that. ...We found a way to make it work.”

Never trailing in the contest, the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs recorded its second win over the Sharks this year, getting 20-point performances from Majok Deng and Martin Djunga.

They now face previously ranked Richmond Feb. 21 (2:45 p.m.) at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The St.Thomas More Knights put up a valiant fight before succumbing 89-81 to Sir Charles Tupper.To keep their B.C. tourney hopes alive they need to beat Windermere on Friday (2:45 p.m. at Lord Byng).

On the 4-A circuit, the Burnaby South Rebels launched the Lower Mainlands right with an 80-54 decision over Killarney, expanding a six-point lead to 18 with a strong second quarter.

Noah Pastrana tallied 21 points, while Vince Sunga scored 17.

Putting in 12 apiece were Jusuf Sehic and Sasha Vujisic, with Sehic picking up a game-high 10 boards.

The Rebels, ranked fifth in the latest provincial poll, now face St. George’s on Feb. 21 (6:15 p.m.) at the Richmond Oval.

The other Burnaby team to advance to a Lower Mainland semifinal was the St.Thomas More Knights senior girls team, which defeated Seycove 54-43 on Wednesday.

STM, which is hosting the 2-A tournament, played St. Thomas Aquinas on Thursday (after the NOW’s deadline) with the winner advancing to Saturday’s 5 p.m. final.

Bobsledder hits speeds of 150kph Steelers in tough

Continued from page 24 friends and family I’m going to be a bobsledder and everyone said, ‘Yeah, okay,’ which really motivated me to prove to them I could do it.”

Johnson started working out in the gym and on the track to develop the explosive power and speed needed by sledders to get their craft underway. She signed up for pilot school to learn how to control the sled on its way down the track, and get the most out of gravity as it hurdles through turns and icy embankments.

This wasn’t a Sunday afternoon glide anymore.

“Competitive sliders are positioned differently,” Johnson said. “They feel a lot more pressures and Gforces in the corners since they are going at much higher speeds and velocities while taking riskier lines to get the fastest time down.

Let’s just say it’s not as smooth a ride.”

Johnson has been competing on the North American cup circuit for more than two years. She finished 11th her first season and moved up to third last season. She also broke a top speed record in a two-man sled of 150 kph while on a training run at Whistler.

Johnson and Hol, who’s from Richmond, teamed up last season.The bond was instantaneous.

“We have seen each other at our highest and lowest

No one said it was going to be easy.

The Grandview Steelers face an uphill battle in their best-of-seven quarterfinal series against the Delta Ice Hawks.

Grandview trails Delta 2-0 after the top team in the Pacific Junior B Hockey League racked up wins of 4-0 and 6-2 this week.

Wednesday’s setback showed the gulf that separates the two, at least on that day. Down 2-1 in the second period, the Steelers’ JarodYau and Brodie Crawford were called for back-to-back cross checking

penalties, leading to a pair of Ice Hawk goals.

The deficit proved too much to overcome.

Scoring for Grandview were Nico Bruno and Mateo Coltellaro.

A day earlier, the Steelers were unable to put a puck past Jordan Naylor in the series opener.

To extend the series, Grandview will need to win at least one of this weekend’s games at the Burnaby Winter Club, with Game 3 on Friday (7:30 p.m.), and Game 4 on Sunday (7:15 p.m.).

Weng tops sprint race Gaining speed: Julia Johnson, who trains at Fortius Sport and Health in Burnaby, powers her sled Ferdinand in the starthouse at the Whistler Sliding Centre. Johnson, along with brakeman Kori Hol of Richmond, finished ninth last month at the World junior bobsled championships in Switzerland.

points,” Johnson said. “We know what the other needs to be successful and we truly enjoy each other’s company on and off the ice.”

Competing as a bobsledder in North America can be a spartan existence, Johnson said.

During training, the team is typically at the track by 8:30 in the morning to set up their sled and get it up to the starthouse. As the pilot, Johnson then walks the track to familiarize herself with its curves and undulations.

After a half-hour warmup,

they’re then able to get in two or three runs down the track over the next couple of hours before disassembling the sled and getting some rest in advance of weight and sprint training in the gym late in the afternoon.

Johnson, Hol and their coach will then review video of their runs before getting a couple hours of downtime before bed at 9:30 p.m.

“Being a Canadian athlete is not a glamorous career,” Johnson said.

In fact, it’s even costing her money as Johnson and Hol had to pay their own

way to St. Moritz and a few weeks training at European tracks afterward.

But it will be worth it, Johnson said.

“The challenge of memorizing new tracks, learning new corners and differences from the North American tracks, coupled with the hype of the Olympic Games, will be priceless in terms of motivation,” she said.

And it might just be enough to propel her to the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.

A cadet with the 759 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, Burnaby’s Claire Weng knows her way around the ski trails.The 17-year-old secured first place in the female youth sprint race and finished fourth in the patrol race at the provincial biathlon championships in Comox last week.
