Man accused of hurling racial abuse at bus riders Cornelia Naylor

Police arrested a 45-yearold man allegedly involved in a number of serious incidents in Burnaby last week – including hurling racist and sexist remarks around on a transit bus. The racist tirade was caught on video and shared on social media. Burnaby RCMP say they received a report just before 4 p.m. on Sept. 5 that a man had racially abused a member of the public and then assaulted them in the area of Parker Street and Alpha Avenue. Officers responded to the area and located the suspect in the 4400 block of Hastings Street. After his arrest, police were approached by staff from a nearby liquor store, who said the man had stolen liquor from the business just before police arrived. Later in the evening, just before 6 p.m., Burnaby RCMP got another call from a woman saying she’d witnessed a man making racist and sexist comments to people on a transit bus earlier that day. Investigators determined it was the same man, according to an RCMP press release. “Police are also aware of a video currently circulating which shows a portion of this incident,” stated the release. “This video will be used as part of the police investigation.” The suspect, 45-year-old Raul Miguel Rubio-Alabau, has been charged with one count of assault, one count of mischief, one count of theft under $5,000 and one count of uttering threats.

Metal thieves target firefighting fixtures

Metal thieves are putting Burnaby’s highrise residents at risk by making off with a vital piece of firefighting equipment. Standpipe connections –Y-shaped metal fixtures usually found outside the front doors of large buildings – are designed to link pipes inside the building to fire trucks and hydrants so water can be pumped to the

upper floors in the event of a fire. But the fire department is getting an increasing number of calls about the connections going missing, according to chief fire prevention officer Perry Talkkari. “Somebody’s obviously doing something with them and they’re tearing them right out of the building,” he told the NOW.

reported in Vancouver last week, according to Talkkari. Police there said they are investigating 60 standpipe connection thefts in that city, mostly downtown and in the Downtown Eastside. In Burnaby, the thefts have been concentrated in the northeast part of the city, according to Talkkari. Investigators believe the equipment is being targeted because of its metal content.

common for the brass caps on the connections to go missing, according to Talkkari, but that didn’t present a significant problem for firefighters since they could still use the connections. “When they take these connections, there’s no means of connecting at all, so the fire crews have to improvise, and now they have to take their hose lines right inside the building into the exit stairs and tie them in there,” he said.

That takes precious time and puts people and property at risk, he said. Talkkari said the problem is growing, and property managers should be on the lookout. “Once a month, they should be walking around and checking all connections to make sure there’s no damage to them, no debris in them, that the caps aren’t missing,” he said. “They should be doing that on a continual basis.”

Citynow PIPELINE

TMX opponents mount hunger strike

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Rain Flinn-Neeposh spent the weekend in silent, hungry prayer mere metres from the clamour of Trans Mountain excavators. The Abbotsford-based artist and student mounted a four-day hunger strike near the Watch House, which has stood over the controversial pipeline’s right-of-way on Burnaby Mountain since spring 2018. Flinn-Neeposh, who is two-spirit and Cree, said the demonstration was inspired by the sentencing of pipeline protesters convicted of violating an injunction last summer, including the poet Rita Wong, who was given 28 days in jail. “To use jail time to punish peaceful protesters in a time of climate emergency, it struck me a lot as using political prisoners,” he said. “To see that kind of unfairness in our own court here in B.C., I felt that if there was anything that I could do, that maybe I could sacrifice some time, so I sacrificed four days. “As powerless as we are to stop this, we felt that doing something quiet and peaceful that stood in soli-

darity with the people who have already been punished would be the best way to go, rather than rallying and rioting and things like that.This is the best way we knew how to show we are with

them.” Flinn-Neeposh said the hunger strike was a form of vision fast, an Indigenous “ceremony for clarity” in which someone sequesters themself without food or

water and prays, waiting for a vision to come. But the setting made it difficult to have a vision, he said. “As you can hear in the background, the men are

still digging.They’re still cutting trees down and it’s been at a break-neck speed.” Flinn-Neeposh and fellow hunger-striker Cynthia Myran say they spent two of three nights outside and one

inside the wooden Watch House when it rained. By Monday morning, FlinnNeeposh was tired but no longer feeling hungry. “There’s a point in the fast when your body realizes that you’re not going to give it food and it stops feeling hungry and it starts feeling tired. And that’s it – standing up or sitting up is a chore.” Flinn-Neeposh was readying to break his fast after a sweat-lodge ceremony in North Vancouver Monday morning. But that won’t be the end of this latest protest against the controversial expansion of the pipeline. More protesters would be “tagging out” FlinnNeeposh and Myran at the sweat and starting their own four-day hunger strike.The pipeline opponents hope to keep a chain of hunger strikers going “as long as we can,” Flinn-Neeposh said. The federal government recently reapproved the project, but the Federal Court of Appeal also agreed to hear new appeals of that decision. The Trans Mountain saga promises to continue, as the country heads into a federal election Oct. 21.

ENVIRONMENT

Council unanimously declares a climate emergency Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council unanimously declared a climate emergency and committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. The vote was met with loud applause in council chambers at Monday’s meeting. City staff will now work on a plan to reach the city’s new ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions below 2007 levels by 45 per cent by 2030 and 75 per cent by 2040 and reach full carbon neutrality by 2050. Before Monday, the city’s reduction target for 2030 was only five per cent. Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the environment and social planning committee, said reaching the targets is doable but “it’s not going to be easy and it’s not

going to be cheap.” Jake Hubley, an organizer with Force of Nature Alliance, which pushed for the declaration, said the city could reach the targets by improving walking and cycling infrastructure, investing in public transit and making buildings more energy-efficient. Several members of council credited young climate activists for pushing the issue to the forefront. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said the younger generation had “moved us old fogeys,” and Coun. Pietro Calendino said: “I want to thank all the millennials for saving humanity.” Mayor Mike Hurley said Monday’s declaration was a win for the young people in the audience who push for climate action. He urged them to stay politically involved. “I want you to take this a

step further,” he said. “Everything else that affects your life, please get into it with the same passion.

We rely on you to hold this world back from the brink of where we are right now. So please, to see your suc-

cess, get involved, make a difference.” According to Force of Nature, Burnaby is the

eighth Lower Mainland municipality to make a climate emergency declaration.

Police have arrested a former coach from the Burnaby Winter Club on child pornography charges. Robert Ward, president of the club, told TheTri-City News that Port Moody police called him late Wednesday night and notified him officers had arrested a former coach. In an email, a spokesperson for the Port Moody Police Department said it was involved in a “very complex investigation that is active and ongoing” and that following the arrest, a court released the coach on “strict protective conditions.” While both Ward and Port Moody police wouldn’t confirm the details of the charges, according to an internal letter addressed to

players’ families and leaked to Global News, the former coach has been charged with possession of child pornography, telecommunication to lure a child under

Opinion now OUR VIEW

MLAs deserve full credit for big hospital news Burnaby North MLA Janet Routledge perhaps said it best last week following news that Burnaby Hospital was finally going to be transformed into a state-ofthe-art health-care facility after decades of dithering by various B.C. premiers. “@BCLiberals let it crumble while making empty promises,” Routledge tweeted. The people who work in Burnaby Hospital might take offence at that insinuation, but it’s not a reflection of their great work. It’s just

that their great work was being done in spite of a facility that hadn’t seen significant upgrades in more than 40 years. That’s all going to change after B.C. Premier John Horgan announced a $1.3-billion redevelopment, which includes adding more beds and two new patientcare towers. Horgan said the project will impact every part of the existing hospital. The two patient-care towers will offer new wards and operating rooms, a total of almost 400 beds and a new

cancer treatment centre. Burnaby Hospital, built in 1952, currently has 297 beds and has more than 70,000 visits annually. The redevelopment begins with a new six-storey, 11,858-square-foot, 78bed tower that will include an upgraded mental-health and substance-use inpatient unit and a new maternity ward.The tower is expected to open in 2023, with construction starting in 2021. The new facility will be built and the existing facility will be demolished in

phases. “We’ll actually have essentially a new hospital in an existing site,” said Victoria Lee, president and CEO of Fraser Health. “The majority will be new and a small proportion will be existing (facilities) that will be updated.” During the 2017 B.C. election, Horgan pledged to first fix up the existing hospital and then spend $2.1 billion to replace it. Instead, the NDP government has opted to skip straight to replacing the hospital for

$800 million less. The new $1.3-billion budget does not mean plans have been scaled back, Health Minister Adrian Dix said, calling it “the largest health-care capital project in the province in B.C. history.” Burnaby is the third-biggest city in B.C. but does not have the type of facility befitting a city of this size. The four Burnaby MLAs, including Raj Chouhan, Katrina Chen and Anne Kang, all did victory laps on social media after the an-

nouncement. They have every right to because it’s under their watch that this got done. And full credit for Horgan not playing politics with this. He could have delayed this decision until the next election campaign but didn’t. The BC Liberals had more than a decade to make this announcement but failed to do so. It’s about time our community has the kind of facility we can really be proud of.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP-Green ﬁght has turned personal The undercard in the federal election campaign has become a bruising fight. This would be the deteriorating relationship between the federal Green Party and the NDP. What was once a fairly polite co-existence – with the NDP the unquestioned stronger party – now appears to be turning into a bitter fight of near-survival for one of them. I wrote in this space a few weeks back that the NDP should be able to count on B.C. to retain most of their federal ridings. Now, I am not so sure. A clue that the party is feeling the heat from the Greens is the suddenly charged verbal attacks the two party leaders have unleashed on each other. The latest war of words erupted after the debacle – for both parties – over the supposed defection of provincial NDP candidates in New Brunswick to the Green Party. At first glance, the defections seemed like a disaster for NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, even though New Brunswick is not a province where the NDP has a chance at winning seats. But when the story changed – the number of defections were lower than first reported, and it was unclear if pressure tactics from either side were involved – Singh tried to regain control of the narrative, essentially accusing the Greens of lying. One of the departing New Democrats also suggested Singh could not win in New Brunswick because

of his race, implying that the province’s voters were racist. That prompted NDP MP Charlie Angus to jump into the fray on Twitter, saying it was “sickening” that people would leave the NDP for the Greens because they were worried about Singh’s religion. Singh also went after Green Party Leader Elizabeth May for accepting people into her party who may think his race is a political problem. “If she is accepting people that are not accepting of people’s diversity, then the Green Party has a lot to answer for,” he stated. But May wouldn’t back down, accusing Singh of “strong-arming” his own members. She used words like “bullied” and “frightened” in describing the NDP’s tactics. A senior NDP strategist told me the gloves will definitely be off between the two parties this campaign. The Greens smell potential victories in a number of NDP-ridings on Vancouver Island, and this official did not disagree with my characterization of the NDP being in a battle of survival. What will be new in this election is a much-bloodier battle for third place. Past elections will seem like a pillow fight. In addition, it will be interesting to see if either the BC NDP or BC Greens – who get along quite well – try to get in the middle of this looming brawl or choose to sit it out. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Abe retires after 49 dog years

Abe, a Burnaby RCMP police dog who found crucial evidence during a 1998 murder investigation, hung up his leash in January after seven years of service with the RCMP. The German shepherd, originally from a German breeding facility, had lived and worked with Cpl. DaveWood since puppyhood and was set to retire on his brother’s farm in Ontario. “I know he’ll be just fine there,”Wood told the NOW. In 1998, Abe found a discarded handgun and a disguise used by a suspect in an execution-style homicide at the Rags to Riches auto dealership on Boundary Road.

I’m horrified that such a major risk to human life is being dismissed Editor: I am writing regarding the threat to, and potential loss of, human life in the event of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. To date, we have tried everything that should have been near, dear and important, from orca and salmon extinction to Indigenous rights — but none of that has stopped this behemoth project. I come at this as a nurse and a Canadian. Where did it become “national interest” to accept loss of human life in industrial accidents as acceptable risk of doing business? The “human life factor” has slipped through the cracks on this and I find that shocking and telling of the times we are living in. Some 2.5 million people live in Metro Vancouver. Should there be a tank farm fire, tanker collision with another vessel or one of the bridges, there is no way to evacuate that many people due to bridge and road bottlenecks. Unprepared first responders who do not know the gas and chemical content of the released condensate cloud are disadvantaged to help effectively (Kinder Morgan has not had to release that info). The hospitals will not be able to manage a crisis of that size. Based on benzene alone, people would experience burning in their mucous membranes — their eyes, the nose, throat and lungs.

Panicking people who are unable to breathe may try to flee to safety but will not be able to because we will be trapped. There is no means of evacuation. The B.C. government is telling people to seal doors and windows and stay in a windowless room for an unknown amount of days, if they can shelter at home and if air leaks are a minimum. If people are caught outside, there would be fatalities, especially those with fragile health — i.e., the very young and very old. I am horrified that this major risk to human life is being dismissed. That the request that a “human health impacts study” be undertaken is being ignored. Do the lives of the people on Burnaby Mountain, the Indigenous, the people who live around Burrard Inlet with their families, the grandparents, people with pre-existing respiratory issues that are just barely coping with summer pollutants, let alone bitumen and a toxic condensate cloud. Do these lives mean nothing in the face of a political deal politicians claim is in the national Interest? We need answers. We need to know how to prepare. How will we be warned? Do we need gas masks in our cars and homes? I humbly request any influence you have in this situation be brought to bear to help alleviate anxiety that is building. L. Johansen, Port Moody

Citynow Starbucks sucker-punch killer gets two years Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The man who killed 22-year-old Michael PageVincelli with a single sucker punch at a North Burnaby Starbucks three years ago has been sentenced to two years in jail and another two years of probation. Lawrence Sharpe was found guilty of manslaughter in March. On July 12, 2017, his girlfriend, Oldouz Pournouruz, got into an argument with Page-Vincelli outside of the Kensington Plaza Royal Bank while Sharpe was inside. After Page-Vincelli walked away towards the nearby Starbucks, Pournouruz went into the bank and told her boyfriend PageVincelli had flicked a lit cigarette at her. She then led Sharpe to the Starbucks and pointed out the 22-year-old. At trial, Sharpe told the court Page-Vincelli had come at him and he had hit him in self-defence, but the jury rejected his testimony after seeing security vid-

eo that showed Sharpe, who was 40 years old at the time, punch Page-Vincelli in the head without warning while the 22-year-old was eating a bag of chips. The blow knocked PageVincelli down and his head hit the floor. He died of blunt force trauma to the head, the court heard. Steffany Page, Page-Vincelli’s mother, said two years in jail is not nearly enough and that the justice system has failed her family. “I want them to change. A life is worth more than two years,” she told the NOW. She and Page-Vincelli’s father, Michael Vincelli, told the court they never want to see Sharpe again or hear any apology he might have, but Page said Sharpe’s face haunts her. “I close my eyes and I see him a thousand times,” she said. “Every time I look at my son, I see them, and I hate it. I hate that I will be haunted for the rest of my life by what they’ve done.” In delivering her sentence, however, Justice

Mary Humphries said the criminal law is “not an instrument of vengeance” but of retribution, which incorporates the principle of restraint. “My task is to determine appropriate punishment for this offence, not to incorporate notions of personal animosity, despair and vengeance when imposing sentence,” she said. “With the greatest respect, this is not to be seen as a failure of the justice system; it’s the application of the rule of law, and, without it, we would

be lost.” Humphries said Sharpe would forever live with the consequences of his “hasty and unlawful act.” Humphries opted for a federal sentence and longer probation to allow for a longer period of supervision and better programs to help with Sharpe’s rehabilitation. Now that the trial is done, Page said the best she can hope for is that a senseless tragedy like the one that claimed her son will never happen again. “But I know that’s a lie,”

she said, “because it does every single day – bars,

parking, Christmas, it’s sad.”

Police seek witnesses in Canada Way hit-and-run Cornelia Naylor

according to a Burnaby RCMP press release. The suspect vehicle did not remain on scene, police said.

tant information to further this investigation,” stated the release. Contact police at 604646-9999.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.solvecrime. ca.

A 46-year-old NewWestminster man soaking in a Burnaby rec centre hot tub was arrested Sunday night after allegedly yelling racial slurs, screaming and swearing at staff and other patrons, according to Burnaby RCMP. Police got a report just after 7:30 p.m. that the

man had been asked by Edmonds Community Centre staff to leave but had refused. Five officers eventually attended as the suspect initially did not comply after being asked “multiple times” to leave the swimming pool area, according to police.

After a trip to the change room, he was taken away in a police car and now faces charges of mischief and causing a disturbance. He has been released on a promise to appear. As one of his release conditions he is not allowed to go to the Edmonds Community Centre.

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A team of Burnaby firefighters and search dogs is in the worst-hit area of the Bahamas carrying out the tough task of recovering bodies and searching for survivors in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. Thirteen volunteers and four dogs arrived in Marsh Harbour, a town in the Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas Monday morning. The area was the worst hit by Dorian, and the Burnaby team planned to

work in the shanty towns with local and international authorities, according to Burnaby firefighters’ union president Jeff Clark, who has stayed in contact with the team via satellite phone. “There is total devastation, with boats everywhere on the land and everything flattened,” Clark said. “The biggest hazard on the island is there is no shade, and the smell, heat and sun are exhausting for everyone.” By Wednesday morning, the Burnaby team had divided in two, with one

group of seven and two dogs searching The Mudd, a shantytown razed by the hurricane. The six remaining team members and two dogs set out to search for three Canadians reported missing by the Canadian consulate in Nassau. The team located one of them, Dale Hill, safe and sound at his home in Pelican Shore Wednesday morning. “He was happy to see our team,” Clark said in an email. “All phone lines are down with no cell service.”

As of the NOW’s press deadline, the firefighters and search dogs were still working to locate the two other Canadians last known to have been in Treasure Cay. Initially FEMA (America’s Federal Emergency Management Agency) told the team it wouldn’t be allowed to set up camp in Marsh Harbour, but the agency changed its position when it learned the group was self-sufficient for six days and had two 10-footby-20-foot tents. Dorian hit the islands on Sept. 1 as a top-of-scale

Category 5 hurricane with wind gusts topping 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), according to a U.N.World Food Programme estimate. It stalled over the northern Bahamas for nearly two days. Some 70,000 people on the Bahamas need food and shelter. The official death toll stood at 50 Wednesday but was expected to rise. The Burnaby team, which planned to help search the wreckage for four days, includes nine active Burnaby firefighters and

World-class: Clarissa Roque participated at World Skills in the Patisserie and Confectionery competition.

Burnaby baker among the best in the world Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby baker Clarissa Roque is ranked as the fifthbest baker-in-training in the world. Roque, 19, just came back from a trip to Kazan, Russia, where she competed in the World Skills competition, and brought home a medallion of excellence for her fifth-place finish in the four-day intensive patisserie and confectionery competition. Roque said she thought she might place in the top half of the 23 competitors, but was shocked when she found out her final placement. “I was actually lost for words at that moment,” she said. “I did a lot better than I expected.” Roque, who is training to be a red seal baker, works at Chez Christophe in Burnaby.This year, she took time off from her job to train for the World Skills competition, working aside instructors and coaches to perfect her baking techniques and timing. The theme of the world championships was Formula One Grand Prix Rac-

ing, and every day there was some surprise element to the competition. But Roque felt she really excelled on the third day of competition when she had to do her chocolate masterpieces – 20 hand-piped and hand-dipped chocolates and 20 moulded vegan chocolate bonbons.To make her bonbons more “Canadianesque,” she added mapleleaf design, she explained. Other items that she made were marzipan figurines, a two-tiered buttercream cake, petit fours, a plated dessert and the final item: a sugar piece. Roque studied baking part-time in Grade 12 at Eric Hamber secondary in Vancouver while doing her Youth Train in Trades program at Vancouver Community College. After graduation, she has completed her second Industry Training Authori-

ty (ITA) training level while working full-time. Roque competed regionally, provincially and nationally in baking before a showdown in May that earned her a spot on Team Canada. She finds competitions teach her both soft skills and hard skills – from baking techniques to professionalism. “I feel like I’m more open to new opportunities,” she said of her experiences in the competitive baking world. Competitions at World Skills ranged from information technology to creative arts, like fashion design, to manufacturing and engineering. World Skills competitions are for post-secondary students.There were 32 competitors from Canada, with a total of 1,300 competitors from 63 countries.

Members come to LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic for many different reasons, whether to lose weight, lower cholesterol, improve blood pressure, combat stress, continue playing tennis until they’re 80 years old or getting back to doing the things they used to love such as Tai chi, completing a run around Deer Lake Park or reclaiming their title as champion in a game of Horseshoes! Each member is on their own journey and LIVE WELL meets you where you’re at. So how is it doing? We asked three members to tell us how LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic Burnaby-Brentwood has changed their lives.

“I have been attending the Brentwood LIVE WELL clinic 3 times a week for 8 months and I believe that it has saved my life.”

Husband and wife ‘team’ Eleanor and Ian McDouall

continues his program, his progress updates are reported back to his family physician on a regular basis; A unique and important feature of the program. After only 8 months, Tom’s new routine has already changed his life. He feels better and his doctor has stopped his cholesterol medication. “This program is something that I hope to continue for the rest of my life.”

“It was something we could do together.” “We joined LIVE WELL Burnaby because we had both recently retired and wanted to increase our fitness level,” explain Eleanor and Ian. “After 3 months we spent 1 month volunteering in Israel and felt the exercise allowed us to enjoy the rigours of the work. We have the stamina and energy to keep up with our energetic kids and grandkids.” It’s not uncommon for members to enter the program as a couple or with a friend, and whether it’s someone you already know or a friend you make by joining, it’s just part of the support network that’s built into the LIVE WELL community. Like all members, Eleanor and Ian have their workouts designed to suit their unique health and fitness needs. Taking into account both of their abilities and limitations, their routines constantly evolve to keep up with their changing health. “We have lost weight, have lower blood pressure, and the time spent together at the gym has been very positive.”

“After all these years I realize that good quality exercise is very important for our well-being.” At age 78, Ryoko was dealing with high blood pressure, sciatica, scoliosis, arthritis, prediabetes and a previous stroke. She started

her journey at the White Rock location, but was overjoyed when LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic’s Burnaby-Brentwood clinic opened. “I get my blood pressure monitored before and after exercise. They give information regularly on how to make my health better.” It can be challenging for people with health issues to take that first step towards their health. LIVE WELL understands this, and for Ryoko, the personal care that she receives with each session is what keeps her coming back.

At 78, Ryoko Ward has been exercising with LIVE WELL for many years, starting her journey in the White Rock clinic.

“My self-confidence is high and I have learned the importance of rest. I am still working at these goals but am well on my way and very grateful.” If you are trying to lose weight, reduce your cholesterol, decrease your blood pressure, or just want to get healthier then LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic Burnaby-Brentwood can help. LIVE WELL specializes in supervised exercise and healthy lifestyle-coaching specifically tailored to each member’s unique needs with a focus on overall health and well-being.

With the Viagra Patent About to Expire, a New Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight A patented pill costing less than $1 a dose stands to help millions of men with failing sex lives; no prescription will be required The result is an increase in hardness and maintenance and frequent sex when it is taken daily.

Dr. Henry Esber, PhD. For Immediate Release TORONTO − A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire. But unlike the former, it won’t require a prescription and is priced just under a $1 a dose. Sold under the brand name Vesele, The new pill is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work on the body and mind, supporting harder, firmer erections. Formulated with a special compound known as an “accelerator”, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, where it really starts to work. The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels through the body to expand. This allows blood to flow to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer.

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering Vesele in Canada. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding. Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be. In the trial above, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 45.1% improvement in erection hardness from baseline over a four-month period. Their erections also lasted twice as long. These same men also experienced an astounding 27% increase in the desire for sex (libido/sex drive)and an even greaterimprovement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.

But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that a small portion of this blood ﬂows to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on when taken over time.

Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in human clinical use trials.

Higher Absorption into the Blood Stream

It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. And according to the most recent literature, each is considered safe.

The Brain Erection Connectio Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood ﬂow, men are harder and ﬁrmer for longer...and have stronger sex drives. “Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Henry Esber Ph.D, the co-creator of Vesele. According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $25 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time. This is what makes Vesele so different and effective. It supplies the blood stream with nitric oxide which cause arteries to relax. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more.

Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration. And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes your erection hard. But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive. That’s because blood supplies energy for the brain. This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal. Studies show nitric oxide stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis. The higher concentration of the ingredients in Vesele combined with the accelerator ensures that this process continues to work over time.

Vesele is authorized for sale by Health Canada as a natural health product for the following indications; L-Arginine supports production of nitric oxide, a molecule involved in vasodilation.

Expiring Patent Opens the Door to a New Sex Pill: is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and erection hardness. You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together. Everything feels better. Everything works better. Everyone performs better. It’s truly amazing.”

Same Study Shows Positive Effects on Women

In the same outstanding study referenced through-out, Vesele was also shown to have a surprising effect on women too. “In our study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 23.7% and 20.4% improvement in arousal and sex drive over baseline. The sexual beneﬁts of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

A New Frontier of NonPrescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) with their sex lives and overcome sexual let downs without side effect or expense. Through a patented accelerator, the Vesele formula is better absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in remarkable improvements in erection ﬁrmness and hardness as shown in the user survey human study. And with better blood ﬂow, users also experienced sexual feeling they haven’t felt in years.

Carolyn Sullivan

Colour is a delight to explore with... I’m drawn to photographing colours in our world, the beautiful colours of nature, ﬂorals, water and sunsets. I do notice colours from the environment of the Urban City to the Sunsets, and I’m attracted to the local colours of the countries and cities that I travel to. I continue to use colour as my starting point once I have photographed my images, either by enhancing it more, or sometimes even reducing it. I also like to manipulate the colours with enhancement ﬁlters to achieve a surreal effect or switch to Black and White for attention. I even enjoy adding splashes of paint on my work, creating mixed media pieces.

ASK A MORTGAGE BROKER Why should I have my home inspected?

A Home Inspection Can Give You Peace Of Mind. For a roughly $500 investment on the biggest purchase of your life, it should be a no-brainer to have a home inspection. In many cases, people HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker don’t bother to do a home inspection when a home is new because they believe there will be no issues. They may be surprised to learn that even brand new builds can have problems. Certainly with older homes there can be a plethora of issues, ranging from asbestos insulation, knob-and-tube electrical wiring to cracks in the foundation. Even a thorough home inspection may not be able to turn up all the issues with a home. Here are some of the most common latent defects in a home. Bathing area issues, hidden water damage behind shower/bathtub, Roof, sky windows and ﬂashing around the chimney.

Q A

A few columns ago you mentioned that gold had reached all-time highs but you were buying silver and selling gold. I then heard that silver has gone up. Is this true?

Gold broke the all-time highs in every countries currency in the JIM RICHARDSON world except the US and a few small counties using US dollars. With gold reaching these highs I sold a large portion of our gold and bought more silver. Since the beginning of August silver had increased 25% before a 5% pullback – only half of the all-time high of $50.00 CDN. Silver still has a long way to go up. Our most popular selling silver are the Canadian Maple Leaf which can be bought from one piece to Monster boxes of 500 pieces followed by 10 ounce silver bars. Our prices are proven less than our competitions. This might be the time to consider buying.

Communitynow Province announces more funding for SOGI education Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

B.C.’s education minister was in Burnaby Friday to announce $350,000 in funding to enhance sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) education around the province. Rob Fleming was at Cariboo Hill Secondary School – the site of a brand new rainbow sidewalk – with Mitzi Dean, the province’s parliamentary secretary for gender equity, and local school officials. The funding Fleming announced will be used to hire a new provincial SOGI lead, who will provide training, resources and supports to school districts and independent schools, according to a press release. Some of the new funds will also be used to expand the annual SOGI Education Summit.The summit is organized by the education ministry and the ARC Foundation, the organization that developed the province’s SOGI 1 2 3 resource, designed to make

schools inclusive and safe for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The yearly summit sees public and independent school members of the B.C. SOGI Educator Network meet to learn about new approaches and resources, to share successes and challenges and to provide input to inform provincial initiatives. The next summit, in Richmond in October, will integrate student and Indigenous perspectives, according to the announcement Friday. Burnaby was a fitting place to make the announcement, according to school board chair Gary Wong, given the local school district’s longstanding commitment to LGBTQ inclusion. The board adopted a SOGI-specific code of conduct policy almost five years before they became mandatory in September 2016. “We are one of the early leaders among school districts with SOGI in edu-

cation,”Wong said, “so we were pleased to be chosen

to host this provincial announcement.We have long

celebrated and cultivated a culture of respect and be-

THANK YOU FOR RECYCLING THIS NEWSPAPER.

We need to support boys in ballet Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

In recent weeks, Lara Spencer of Good Morning America received a slew of salty comments in response to her on-air reaction to Prince George taking (and loving) ballet classes as part of his new school curriculum. On the show, the anchor laughs at the fact that the six-year-old prince is taking ballet classes and goes on to say, “We’ll see how long that lasts!” In response, over 300 dancers from the Broadway community gathered in front of the Good Morning America studio to celebrate male dancers.The #BoysDanceToo hashtag flooded social media channels, promoting the diversity of the dance community and the importance of supporting male dancers who have already been on the receiving end of ridicule. On social media, celebrities addressed her comments as well. Travis Wall, choreogra-

pher and past contestant on the hit show SoYou Think You Can Dance, took to Instagram to share his thoughts on her remarks by stating, “I found these comments to be very upsetting. Not only did you inspire your audience and colleagues to participate in your laughter, you have now added fuel to the fire of a massive problem in this country, which is bullying. As a dancer myself, I was bullied all the time growing up, and I’m thankful that I was able to use that as motivation to be successful, but that’s not the case for every child.” Star Trek’s George Takei took to Twitter to address Spencer’s controversial behaviour as well, stating, “Lara Spencer mocked a 6-year-old Prince George of the U.K. for taking ballet class. It shows that ‘toxic masculinity’ can be spread viciously by insensitive women, too. As a fellow ‘George’ and a lover of dance, I am very troubled and disappointed by her actions.” Spencer has since apologized, but the sting still lin-

gers for many boys who face malice and mockery on a daily basis for choosing to dance. Last year, I interviewed a dancer named Jack Henderson, a high school student and member of Arts Umbrella’s prestigious Dance Company for a story I wrote for WestCoast Families magazine on boys in ballet. In our chat, Henderson shares that as he grew older and his interest in dance grew, so did the pestering from his peers. “Grade 5-6 was a tough age for me, and I think it is for many boys in dance. It can be hard to stick with it and feel accepted at an age where your peers are making fun of you for dancing,” Jack explained on the challenges he faced as a dancer amongst his soccer- and hockey-focused friends. And for boys who dance, the difficulties don’t stop at the door. In an article shared on Huffington Post titled Tights,Tutus, and Relentless Teasing: Inside Ballet’s Bullying Epidemic, the author shares, “The statistics on boys, ballet and bullying are staggering. Ac-

Bridging the Employment Gap

cording to a study by dance sociologist Doug Risner, 93 percent of boys involved in ballet reported “teasing and name calling,” and 68 percent experienced “verbal or physical harassment.” Eleven percent said they were victims of physical harm at the hands of people who targeted them because they are boys who study dance.” We shouldn’t be poking fun at boys who are passionate about dance; we should be supporting them and celebrating their success. “Ballet teaches you integrity, it teaches your discipline, it teaches you respect, and it teaches you bravery,” Travis Wall shares in the conclusion of his Instagram video post, “ and if there are any boys out there who want to dance, DO IT.” Let’s encourage boys to do what they love, and as adults, set an example for our children by letting them know that boys can (and should) dance too.

Hilton named to biz Hall of Fame Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

The “iconic” Hilton Vancouver Metrotown has been named this year’s inductee to the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame. The hall of fame is a joint recognition by the Burnaby Board of Trade and the City of Burnaby. Every year, the city and the board of trade name one “widely recognized Burnaby-based business that has demonstrated outstanding business success over many years and has had a positive and significant impact on the community.” The Hilton in Metrotown first opened its doors on Nov. 3, 1999, making it the second Hilton location to open in the province. “The Hilton is emblematic of a hotel that combines those rare qualities of hospitality and top notch service, delivered with a great deal of warmth. It provides a real sense of being a home away from home for travellers as well as the community,” said

board of trade CEO Paul Holden in a statement. “The Hilton Vancouver Metrotown’s exemplary commitment to community, as well, has made it in many ways the heart of our business community.” Since its opening, the hotel has received several awards, including best hotel in Burnaby, best sales team and the “Connie” award, an internal corporate award for Hilton properties with high levels of guest satisfaction. A board of trade news release said the hotel has, in its 20 years of service, “built a reputation as a hotel whose service exudes warmth, hospitality and professionalism, as well as an extraordinary commitment to community.” The hotel will be formally inducted into the hall of fame during a luncheon on Oct. 3, during which shortlisted finalists for each category in the Burnaby Business Excellence Awards will also be announced.

opened in 1985. One of Fred’s sons, Ron, took on that third shop,The Garage on 24th Avenue and Macdonald Street in Vancouver, and eventually passed it on to his sons, a fourth generation of auto shop owners. Now, just shy of 90 years after Art Tremblay opened up his first shop, the Tremblay family has opened another shop in Burnaby. The Garage opened up at 5705 Beresford St. and was announced in August.

The size of British Columbian malls and shopping centres aren’t in danger of knocking other provinces’ megamalls out of the Canadian real estate record books. British Columbia’s largest mall, Metropolis at Metrotown, at 1.7 million leasable square feet, is only the fifth-largest mall in the country, behind theWest Edmonton Mall in our less-populated neighbour to the east and three Ontario malls in the Greater Toronto Area. B.C.’s second-largest mall, Park Royal, is the only other B.C. mall to crack the top 10 largest malls in Canada list at No. 7, according to data from a Retail Council of Canada report. Yet B.C.’s malls seem to be more popular than their square footage might suggest, with Metropolis hailed as the second mostvisited mall in the country in 2017 with nearly 28 million visitors, almost a million more than theWest

Edmonton Mall. In 2018, Metropolis fell to third behind theWest Edmonton Mall. CF Pacific Centre, B.C.’s seventh-largest mall, is not on Canada’s top 10 largest mall list. However, it is the seventh most popular mall in the country with 22.1 million shoppers in 2018. Greater foot traffic in smaller malls means greater sales per square foot. Oakridge Centre and CF Pacific Centre are the second and third highest grossing malls per square foot In 2018, CF Pacific Centre generated $1,690 per square foot and Oakridge earned $1,594 per square foot. The two malls were beat only by Toronto-basedYorkdale Shopping Centre, at $1,905 per square foot. Metropolis was the eighth highest-grossing mall in the country, earning $1,040 per square foot, down from $1,075 in 2017. – AlbertVan Santvoort, Business inVancouver

Local ball hockey ref draws hall honour Knights Burnaby’s Darsh Grewall has spent four decades officiating the game at its highest level Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Cool, calm and commanding are three ways to describe local ball hockey referee Darsh Grewall. Those traits have done him well in his work in stripes. Occasionally on the perimeter and often in the middle of it all making sure the game runs smoothly, Grewall carries a whistle and the authority to stop players in their tracks when they cross the line. A referee in ball hockey’s highest circles has to be able to stand the heat. And that he has, beginning in 1984 as a rookie official. “I definitely was quite nervous, especially being a visible minority,” recalls Grewall. “A turban-wearing Sikh, going into Canada’s game refereeing almost all Caucasian players.That was a tough one for a few years. For the most part, they did (respect me). No insults that I can recall, that I heard. “Hockey players generally are very good that way.” A Burnaby businessman who resided in the city for a couple of decades before moving back to his hometown of New Westminster, Grewall enjoyed playing sports, but he wasn’t itching to join the officiating crowd. It just happened – a cousin called and kept pleading for him to take on the role.While Grewall hung up the first time, he eventually acceded. It didn’t take long before he felt comfortable in stripes. He learned on the fly, and, as the ball hockey game evolved, he kept up with the times. “The biggest challenge is with the speed, being able to keep up with these high-level athletes,” he says. “It’s a two-man system, as opposed to the three- or four-man system like ice hockey is.You have to be fast, you have to be able to keep up. Sometimes you’re doing two games back-to-back and it takes a toll.” Fleet of foot and a firm arbitrator, Grewall survived the early years thanks to a thick skin. “I’ve been pretty lucky to be, whether you call it smart enough or agile enough to be in the right spot and not the wrong spot.” Last month the right spot proved to be in Newfoundland, where at the national masters championship tournament, Grewall was officially inducted into the Canadian Ball Hockey Hall of Fame – the first referee to receive such an honour. It came a few weeks after he was honoured locally before a youth national championship game in Burnaby, where 30 members of his family and numerous fellow on-floor

officials were in attendance to see Canada Ball Hockey’s referee-inchief feted. The whole idea of receiving the honour caught him by surprise. “Well, I was at the airport in Edmonton when I first got the phone call and I basically had to pull over, I was so overwhelmed,” recalls Grewall on hearing the news. “It was overwhelming. … They have a hall of fame for the CBHA and I was the first-ever referee to be inducted into it.” The idea back in 1984 that his volunteering to officiate on the old Arenex floor would lead to national and international championships would have been met with a laugh. But that’s exactly where the game – and his dedication to it – has taken him. The family business at S&N Lighting on Imperial Street allowed him some leeway when it came to overseeing the game at its highest levels. He’s done numerous provincial and national championships and counts his first world tournament – in 2005 in Pittsburgh – as his first international competition. It led him to world champion-

ships as far away as Slovakia and as hot as Bermuda.Through the years, he has seen the game grow, and the calibre of play improve. “My first two years of officiating just in B.C. there use to be full contact. Ball hockey, when it was first introduced, was a contact sport, so there was open floor hitting – nothing along the boards, though.That

I’ve been lucky to be ... in the right spot and not the wrong spot. (open-floor hitting) was taken out in about 1997. “That’s what led to a lot of the rough play. People were used to playing the body and then they couldn’t, so there was frustration and all that. … I remember going to the ground, wrestling the players down on a few occasions, but (I have) never been hit.” The slamming of sticks and colourful language may be the primary method of complaint, but he learned quickly to shake it off.

“That happens to the best of us. Pretty much you call that gamesmanship, and that’s a way the players or coaches try to get an edge. You can call it intimidation if you want,” Grewall says. The president of the B.C. Ball Hockey Association says Grewall’s demeanor has proven time and again to be a great arbitrator. “I have known Darsh for over 20 years – I used to play at a competitive level and he put me in the penalty box on a few occasions,” Robert Moxness replied in an email. “(He’s) a very modest man who does not like to take credit for his success. ... His calm and approachable demeanor allows for some great problem-solving discussions.” International championships have taken Grewall to such far-away hockey hot spots as Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and even places where hockey doesn’t seem natural – like the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. Some of those contests, like reffing a major world championship semifinal showdown between archrivals the Czech Republic and Slovakia before a crowd of 7,000 loud Czech fans, are among Continued on page 39

A couple of turnovers turned a solid outing into a disappointing defeat for the St.Thomas More Knights. Launching the 2019 senior 3-A football season, the Knights did well to contain the Notre Dame Jugglers for much of the night, and showed glimpses on offence. It just didn’t add up to enough in a 14-3 loss. The Burnaby squad got off to a great start, holding their fellow honourable mentioned-ranked rival on the first drive. Grade 11 running back Nick Osho then took the team’s first hand-off from the huddle and drove 60 yards to put STM inside Notre Dame’s 20. Unable to push it over, the Knights scored first on Alex Cordeiro’s ensuing field-goal kick from about 30 yards for a 3-0 lead. But the Jugglers capitalized on a mid-field interception with a minute left in the first half, with Kaelen Bosa scampering into the end zone to make it 6-3. It stayed 6-3 until early in the fourth quarter, but the Vancouver squad added the final major of the night. “I thought we did a lot of things well, and there were some things where we need to do better,” remarked STM coach Steve DeLazzari. “It started really well, and our defence was overall pretty solid.” Cordeiro set the tone with nine tackles from his linebacker position. Unfortunately, the Grade 12 also suffered a broken collarbone in the game and will likely miss the next six weeks. Kane Ferreira collected seven tackles, while Osho added five, to go with 236 yards rushing on 23 carries. It continued on from his performance in Hawaii two weeks ago. STM will face No. 1-ranked Vancouver College on Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lake West complex.

Burnaby girls share in box gold

Continued from page 38 Grewall’s career highlights. “We got a knock on the referee door – ‘The warmup is about to start if you’re ready to go.’They basically wouldn’t let us out (earlier) because they were waiting for the armed guards to walk us out to the floor,” he recalls. “At the end of each period they’d be there waiting to walk us back to the change room. Luckily the games stayed close so they weren’t necessary.” Trying to keep up with the pace outdoors at the Bermuda-hosted world masters championships last October under tropical conditions was an extreme test. “The tournament that we did, the temperature on the floor was around 40 degrees. It was roasting in the middle of the day.You’d do one, maybe two games and you were pretty much done for the day,” he recalls. It was his final international championship, and since then he’s decided to stay closer to home when it comes to refereeing. He will still don the uniform at provincial championships, but his main focus is his role as the CBHA’s national referee-in-chief, helping groom the next generation of referees on the floor. “I’ve just slowed down a little bit and it’s little tougher to keep up with the younger guys, who are going 90-miles-an-hour,” he says. “But it becomes a passion.”

Team B.C. knocks off Ontario in both midget and bantam in box lacrosse final dolson@burnabynow.com

Defence delivered the gold to Team B.C.’s female midget box lacrosse team last month in Coquitlam. As hosts of the national championships, B.C. had the perks of familiarity, but what put them over the top, capped by a powerful 8-0 triumph over chief rival Ontario, was its diligence without the ball. For those who were part of the team last year, when Ontario took the hardware, nothing could have been sweeter. “It was three years of silver, so to finally win gold was poetic justice,” remarked coach Matthew Black. “When they stepped out of the dressing room onto the floor they looked more eager and more prepared than (they did) the whole tournament. It was evident that we weren’t going to be denied.” Netminders Ainslee Rushton and Leona Sinclair shared in the rare shutout, with Rushton, a Prince George native, playing the first two periods when the

squad had groomed a 5-0 lead. The defence made sure that the netminders’ workload was not too taxing. “Our goal was to work cohesively and consistently on defence. Our players played a uniformed defence that really limited (Ontario’s) chances,” coach Black said. Seven different players potted goals in the final. B.C.’s roster included Burnaby’s Ava Regan, who added a goal and an assist, and Emily Kuhn, and New West natives Teagan Ng, who scored once and drew an assist in the final, Layla Gould,Taylor Lee, and captain Lauren Black, who chalked up a pair of assists. Black finished the tourney with five goals and four assists, while Ng racked up six goals and six assists. Kuhn contributed two goals and three assists. Six members of the team, including Black, Kuhn and Regan, were part of B.C.’s team that competed at the under-19 field lacrosse national tournament earlier in August. On the boys side, B.C. was a

finalist in all three divisions but settled for silver each time. The bantam squad fell to Ontario 8-3 in the final, after falling behind 5-0 midway through the second period.New West’s Reid Hinds-MacDonald netted two goals and an assist in the final, and finished the tourney with six goals and five assists. Burnaby’s Ryden Evers counted a pair of goals and five assists over the seven games, while Jeremy Launt, also of Burnaby, netted a goal and three helpers. B.C.’s midget boys marched

all the way to the final before getting knocked off 12-7 by the visiting Ontario team. Captained by Burnaby’s Jordan Gabriele and with netminder Marc Russell-Rippberger, the squad posted an unbeaten record all the way until the showdown with Ontario. In pool play, the two teams battled to a 6-6 draw, with Gabriele chipping in a goal and an assist. He would finish the tourney with six goals and three assists. B.C. also fell 10-3 to Ontario in the peewee final.

Steelers looking sharp

It’s been a rosy start to the season for the Grandview Steelers. The Pacific Junior B Hockey League club posted twin wins last week to launch the 2019/20 season, edging the Delta Icehawks 2-0 on Tuesday, then blasting the Surrey Knights 10-1 in Sunday’s home opener. Defenceman Jameson Crawford tallied twice in Delta.Thirdyear veteran Cale Dolan, meanwhile, looked in mid-season form with 21 saves and a shutout. On Sunday, the Steelers got two goals each from Derek Chin and Jack Hamilton in a game where eight players scored. Grandview heads to Mission on Saturday, and returns home Sunday (7:15 p.m.) to host North Van at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Home sales in every B.C. region to recover in 2020: forecast Although every region in B.C. is expected to see lower home sales in 2019 than in 2018, sales will more than recover in 2020, according to a September 5 forecast by the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). Overall in 2019, residential transactions across the province are predicted to be five per cent lower, at about 75,000 units, than the 78,505 sales of 2018. Every one of B.C.’s 12 boards is expected to report a year-over-year decline in total sales across 2019, with drops ranging from one to 14 per cent. However, BCREA forecasted that every board will see considerable sales jumps in 2020, totalling a province-wide increase of nearly 11 per cent to 82,700 homes — which the association said would be just below the 10-year annual average. “B.C. markets are showing signs of recovery after nearly a year and a half of policy-induced declines,” said Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA’s deputy chief economist. “We expect that recovery to continue into next year, with home sales normalizing around long-term averages.” METRO VANCOUVER OUTLOOK Having seen the steepest annual sales declines in 2018, and a forecast drop of 2.2 per cent in 2019, Greater Vancouver is expected to see the biggest recovery in 2020, said BCREA. Home resales in the Greater Vancouver region are predicted to rise 16.3 per cent to 28,500 units — still a far cry from 42,000

sales of 2015, but a marked improvement over both 2018 and 2019. The optimistic Metro Vancouver forecast followed the previous day’s report by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver that the region’s home sales in August rose nearly 16 per cent year over year, following a 23.5 per cent annual jump in July. BCREA said the Fraser Valley is also expected to outperform the previous two years of home resales, with a forecast rise of 12.4 per cent year over year. However, Victoria and Vancouver Island, having not fallen as far as the Lower Mainland, are expected to see 2020 sales improve by less than the provincial average, at 7.5 and 5.5 per cent respectively. Average home prices in 2020 are also expected to improve on those achieved in 2019, in every board jurisdiction — albeit by modest amounts. The overall B.C. average sale price is forecast to rise by 3.3 per cent, with average rises ranging from 0.2 per cent in Victoria to four per cent in the B.C. Northern region. Greater Vancouver average home sale prices are predicted to be down 5.6 per cent in 2019 to $990K, but are forecast to increase two per cent in 2020 to an average of $1.01 million.
