City getting serious about fixing northwest rec centres Chris Campbell

When you look at some of the community facilities in Burnaby, you see some that need more than TLC – they need to be replaced.

Nowhere is that more true than in northwest Burnaby, the stretch from Kensington all the way to Boundary Road.

For example, the Willingdon Community Cen-

tre was originally built in the early 1960s, and later renovated with an addition in 1981.The Confederation Park seniors centre was built way back in 1988 and the Eileen Dailly pool in 1991.The Kensington ice arena is more than 40 years old.

There have been newer facilities added in this area, such as the modern McGill library, but the City of Burnaby has recognized up-

‘Swinging Girl’ set to make her return

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When the neon “Swinging Girl” on Hastings Street in Burnaby’s Heights neighbourhood stops swinging, people notice.

When she disappears, people panic.

That’s why the Heights Merchants Association decided to warn community members last fall before the sign was taken down to be refurbished.

But that didn’t stop some from calling anyway when it happened, according to Heights Merchants Association executive director Isabel Kolic.

“Lots of people noticed that she was missing, and I think they were alarmed that they’d lost her forever, but we quickly told them that, no, the city was taking care of her,” she said.

Kolic said the iconic sign had been having mechanical issues for a while.

So the last time it stopped swinging, in the fall, the city decided to take it down and give it a thorough once-over.

It was taken to Mainland Signs in Richmond, under the direction of Sicon Signs, which is contracted to maintain the sign.

“It’s so much easier for them to do the quality work while it’s in the shop as opposed to hanging off the side of a building trying to repaint it,” said City of Burnaby heritage planner

Lisa Codd.

Step 1 of the process was to create a stencil of the sign, so its colours – the two-toned blue dress, the red lips and pale-peach face, arms and legs – could be meticulously replicated.

The sign had been touched up with paint for years, according to Sicon Signs owner Tim McLean, so the second step was to sandblast away layers of flaking paint.

Inside the sign, the motor was repaired and cleaned and a bearing replaced, McLean said.

Painter Steve Boal, who was tasked with repainting the sign, said he recognized it as soon as it came into the shop.

He said he remembered seeing it as a kid when taking the bus to Vancouver.

“It was pretty hard to miss. Back in the ’80s there was not a lot of neon around, and it just really stood out, and I thought it looked really cool,” he said.

The sign was originally commissioned by Helen Arnold in 1955 for her store, Helen’s Children’s Wear at 4142 Hastings St., to draw the eye of customers then increasingly taking to automobiles.

By the time the store was sold 52 years later, in 2007, Helen’s Swinging Girl had become a beloved landmark, and the city stepped in to save it.

It bought the sign from

Sicon Signs, which had bought out the original creator and owners of the Swinging Girl, the Wallace Neon Company, in the 1970s.

(Most of the Lower Mainland’s iconic neon signs were not owned by the businesses they advertised, McLean explained.They were rented from sign companies, like Wallace.)

The city then contracted Sicon Signs to refurbish it.

In place of “Helen’s,” the top of the sign was changed to read “Heights.”

In 2010, the city then listed the sign on its community heritage register, officially naming the girl on the swing Helen, in honour of Arnold.

The city hoped to have the Swinging Girl swinging in the Heights again this week.

The cost of the project will be about $10,000, according to Codd.

HEALTH CARE

Hospital foundation launches $30-million campaign

Janaya Fuller Evans

jfullerevans@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Hospital Foundation is launching its most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, with the help of a prominent Burnaby family.

The Proud History, Bright Future campaign aims to raise $30 million in the next one to two years.

The Beedie family, which established the well-known real estate company Beedie Development Group, is donating $8 million towards the campaign.

“We have very deep roots here,” Ryan Beedie said at the campaign announcement. “I was born in this hospital in 1968, and our office is just down the street.

Our company has been in Burnaby for 66 years now and will be for the foreseeable future.”

The Beedie family sees the hospital, which was built in 1952, as a priority for the community, as well as for them personally, Beedie said.

“It’s long overdue,” Beedie told the NOW, adding the last major update to the hospital was decades ago.

“It’s keenly needed in this community. It cannot happen soon enough.”

The $30 million will go towards Phase 1 of the hospital redevelopment, which will include the Keith and Betty Beedie Pavilion, named for Ryan’s parents.

Keith, who passed away in 2017, was a big supporter of

the hospital. In the past, the family donated more than $2 million toward the facility.

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation is taking a community-minded approach to fundraising for the campaign, according to Kristy James, the foundation’s CEO. “We have a very supportive community,” she said, adding the campaign will take a lot of work.

“Finally now, after years of advocating and waiting, we’re on the verge of a brighter future in health care for all of us,” James said at the announcement.

Mayor Mike Hurley thanked the Beedies for their contribution.

“I believe that we all have

a duty to lift someone up when we have the chance to do so,” he said regarding the Beedies’ donation. “You’ve lifted our whole community up, and I think that’s something really very special.”

Construction on Phase 1 is expected to begin next year.The first phase of the redevelopment project is expected to cost about $550 million. Phase 1 is a six-storey, 11,858-square-foot tower with 78 beds. It includes the hospital’s maternity and newborn services as well as a unit for adults with mental health and substance use concerns.

The patient rooms are all single rooms with their own bathroom.

The facilities support building will be extend-

ed and renovated, and increased parking is also included in the first phase.

The total budget for the hospital’s redevelopment is $1.3 billion.

ENERGY

We can help!

Burning garbage could heat Burnaby homes City eyes using local waste-to-energy plant

The New Westminster Youth Ambassador Society Supports

The energy could also be used for community facilities.

each year.That’s in part because it would offset the use of natural gas but also because using the hot water produced by the facility would avoid energy losses that come from converting steam to electricity.

In all, the city estimates up to 70,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent could be saved through that process.

That’s the equivalent of tailpipe emissions from nearly 31 million litres of gasoline

– roughly 470,000 refuels of a 65-litre tank – according to calculations by the NOW using federal government statistics.

Burnaby and Metro Vancouver are expected to appeal to the federal and provincial governments through the Canada Infrastructure Program. In September last year, the provincial and federal governments committed $150 million for green infrastructure.

City staff said the incinerator heating project would be “very well-suited” for some of that funding, which is earmarked for projects that meet one of three criteria, including reducing pollution.

If approved, the project will be funded up to 73.33% (40% from the feds and 33.33% from the province), with the rest to be funded by MetroVancouver.

Your home may one day be heated by burning garbage – but that would be a net positive for the environment.

It all depends on whether a project at the Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy Facility, located in Burnaby, succeeds.The city and regional district are putting in a joint proposal for funding from the federal and provincial governments to help fund the project.

The waste-to-energy facility currently burns garbage to produce steam, powering a wind generator to produce electricity for the region.

City staff were given the go-ahead from council last July to work with Metro Vancouver staff on a feasibility study for a project that would capture the heat produced from the process for residential and business use.

If approved, the proposed project would convert the steam to hot water, which would be transported through an underground system to nearby properties.The heat from the water could be used for home

heating and hot water and potentially for cooling, according to a city staff report.

The energy could also be used for community facilities, like swimming pools and ice rinks, along with industrial uses, staff said.

Staff noted the project would prevent thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions

Opinionnow OUR VIEW

Premier sold out principles with no bridge tolls

Look, we get it – nobody wants to pay more to drive.

We hate gas taxes and we hate bridge tolls, but both are effective ways to deal with the climate crisis Canada and the rest of the world face.

Both raise money to fight climate change, and they discourage some people from driving – pushing them in the direction of taking transit.

So it was painful to watch Premier John Horgan last week in New Westminster when he updated work on

the Pattullo Bridge replacement.

“Safer, easier, toll-free commutes is what our government is dedicated to,” Horgan said.

Yeah, Horgan is committed to toll-free commutes, which is why he got rid of tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges.

We guess it was smart politics because the BC NDP did well in Surrey.We just hope it was worth selling out the party’s principles that claim to want to fight climate change.

Sadly, New Westminster and even Burnaby will both suffer from any increased traffic People who take transit have to pay to use the service, so why is it so hard to grasp that drivers should have to pay to use a bridge or a road? And don’t say it’s because drivers already pay taxes that fund the road system, because transit users pay those same taxes.

As for the bridge itself, people in Surrey and Delta have to stop thinking that it will magically solve their commuting woes.The bridge is being replaced because it’s old and decrepit – not to necessarily make commutes faster.The current bridge is unsafe, which

is why the wider lanes will be welcomed.

Surrey and Delta have both complained about the new bridge only being four lanes and, unfortunately, Horgan played into that with his announcement.

Horgan said “a fourlane bridge with four real lanes” is an appropriate way to start, but the bridge has the capacity to expand to six lanes, or five lanes with counterflow, in the future.

As transportation experts will tell you, the issue of “induced demand” means

that if you add more lanes for traffic, you only attract more traffic.

Sadly, New Westminster and even Burnaby will both suffer from any increased traffic with a new Pattullo Bridge.

Our communities are already suffering from the piles of traffic that roll through on a daily basis.

Tolls would have likely reduced that traffic volume, but hey, there were votes to get in Surrey, so who cares about Burnaby and New Westminster?

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Look for First Nations to end up sidelined It is apparent that the protest that began over a natural gas pipeline has turned into something much bigger.

Ironically, it threatens to harm what this protest was supposed to be about from the beginning – Indigenous rights.The protest has spread well beyond B.C.’s borders and taken on a national scope. Railways are being blockaded, thus threatening the economy of the entire country.

The protest has become a catch basin for various assorted “causes” and wrongs.

At the protest that blockaded the B.C. legislature last week, I heard protesters denounce everything from colonialism to pipelines to fossil fuels to capitalism in general.

Lost in this chorus is the fact so many of B.C.’s 204 First Nations actually support many of the things now being condemned.

The Coastal Gaslink pipeline that was originally at the heart of this protest has the support of the band councils of 20 First Nations along the pipeline route, including that of the Wet’suwet’en.The hereditary chiefs, however, oppose it.

The Federal Court of Appeal’s recent decision that gave the green light for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to go ahead noted that 120 of 129 First Nations along that pipeline’s route either support the project or at least do not oppose it.

At least two consortiums of First Nations are actually trying to buy the TMX pipeline in order to allow their members to share in

potential economic prosperity.

Many First Nations are trying to take advantage of opportunities that may rescue their members from what are, in many instances, situations of grinding poverty.Those efforts could be thwarted by a protest that seems to have been taken over by the well-organized environmental protest movement.

In no way are any of these developments surprising.There has long been schisms among B.C.’s 204 First Nations, and it has been obvious that the environmental protest community has exploited that reality by hiving off some of those nations into their camp.

Inevitably, unless the hereditary chiefs change their position, this protest will merge with the simmering protest against the TMX pipeline. Many people will be arrested for civil disobedience.

Political protests have a greater chance of eventual success if they can combine several causes under the same umbrella.That is exactly what seems to be happening, which may prove unnerving to both federal and provincial governments across the country.

This tinderbox was created long ago. It has been waiting for something to come along to set it alight.

That “something” turned out to be Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, who will likely be sidelined eventually by a potentially massive, broad-based protest against all pipelines. And many First Nations may well be worse off as a result.

School construction conflict

Social Credit MLA ElwoodVeitch warned that funding for a new Forest Grove elementary school could be withheld if the school board insisted on hiring only union workers to build it.Veitch accused NDP members on the board of “playing provincial politics.” But board chair Barry Jones said hiring union workers had been a 10-year policy in Burnaby, and a government move against the board’s decision would be an attack on local autonomy. He said school board had already been “emasculated” by governments and complainedVeitch’s threats illustrated more of the same.

BCA has ‘shameful’ legacy in this city Editor: When I heard the news that Burnaby Citizens’ Association councillors Colleen Jordan, Paul McDonell and Dan Johnston were quitting the BCA because they were not doing enough on affordable housing, I nearly chocked on my coffee. According to them, it all came to a head over their colleagues’ refusal for the city to subsidize rents on a new “non-market” rental development on Sussex Avenue.

The “affordable” rents will be $1,338 for a onebedroom apartment, which we all know will not be affordable for many renters.

However, the councillors have known this since at least Dec. 13, 2017 when 64 rental units were at a demoviction public hearing. At the hearing, councillors were told by activists, residents and the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby that subsidized rents in the new rental building will be unaffordable.

The new affordable units built would rent for over $1,300/month, while the existing one-bedroom units rented for between $700 and $1,000.

Councillors Jordan, McDonell and Johnston had no problem with that and voted the project through. In fact, in the years between 2011 and 2018, they voted to destroy over 800 of the most affordable market rentals in the Lower Mainland and threw 2,500 low- and moderate-income renters out of their homes while wholeheartedly defending their housing strategy.

These same councillors also passed the Me-

trotown Downtown Plan in 2017 with substantial public opposition. The plan puts over 5,000 of Burnaby’s rentals at risk of demoviction and resulted in developers and landlords literally making billions overnight.

Only a fool would take their excuse for quitting the BCA at face value. But this is not a defence of the BCA. How can people in Burnaby trust a party that was complicit for two decades while formerMayor Derek Corrigan waged a war on Burnaby renters and the homeless.

In my opinion, the party should quietly die so Burnaby can look past this shameful legacy of Corrigan and his backers.

Murray Martin, Burnaby

New bridge will hurt us Editor: I attended the Pattullo Bridge announcement (on Monday, Feb. 10). Not a single person from Burnaby. No mayor or councillors.

Both Burnaby and New Westminster will suffer from additional traffic from the new, wider bridge where each lane of traffic can carry about 30% more traffic per hour than the old bridge.

The only solution is what was proposed when Highway 1 was constructed. A direct connector/ link from Highway 1 to the new Pattullo Bridge from the Cariboo interchange via tunnel/road to McBride, then over the bridge.

It would be somewhat similar to the Cassiar connector that was built connecting to Second Narrows/Ironworkers bridge.

How long do we have to wait for the connector?

City removing cherry trees The City of Burnaby will be removing more heritage cherry trees in the Heights area.

A city spokesman told the NOW a second group of cherry trees will need to be removed as part of the Boundary Road Combined Sewer Separation and Water Main Replacement project.

This is the same project that forced the city to re-

move cherry trees last year.

For this stage, six boulevard trees on Boundary Road between Oxford Street and Hastings Street will be removed and replaced.

This project will involve replacing sidewalk, boulevard and trees along Boundary Road.

The trees will be removed later this month or early

March – before nesting season.

The six cherry trees will be replaced with 12 cherry trees, in accordance with the city’s tree bylaw.They will be planted as close to the original trees as possible.

Letters have been sent to houses in the Boundary Road neighbourhood to alert them of the upcoming work.

Communitynow Resilience, grit got Burnaby brothers to WWE Moscrop grads returned to their alma mater last week to share their story with students Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When Harvinder Sihra walked into his old Burnaby high school last week, he had a flashback of his younger, scrawnier, teenaged self arriving at school in the mornings more than 15 years earlier.

“Every morning when I used to come in, I’d have my wrestling music playing, and in my mind I was at a wrestling arena,” he said.

For Harv and his older brother Gurvinder, professional wrestling was an escape to another world, full of larger-than-life characters they passionately wanted to be a part of.

“Besides hockey, that’s all we really watched,” Gurv said. “We watched it as a family. It wasn’t just the two of us watching, dad, mom, the whole family.”

The duo practised wrestling moves in the Moscrop Secondary School lunchroom and told their friends they wanted to be stars on WWE, the biggest profes-

sional wrestling promotion in the world.

“Everybody used to laugh.They thought it was so far-fetched,” Harv said.

Last Wednesday, however, the duo stood in front of a gym full of Grade 8 to 10 students to talk about how grit and resilience helped them to do just that.

Gurv and Harv Sihra, who now wrestle under the ring names Sunil and Samir Singh, a Bollywood-inspired tag-team duo, earned their first WWE contract in 2016.

But it had been an uphill battle from the start to get there.

“We faced a lot of hardship, obstacles, especially being smaller guys trying to survive in a big-man world,” said Gurv. “Most wrestlers that you see are six-foot-five, 200-plus pounds.”

(Gurv is five-foot-10. His brother is five-foot-nine.Together they weigh just over 300 pounds.)

They began wrestling for smaller promotions in 2005, including promoter Tony Condello’s so-called “Death

Then and now: WWE wrestler and Moscrop grad Harvinder Sihra, right, poses by his old locker last week. On the left, Sihra poses years earlier at the same locker, decorated with WWE heroes.

STICK TO IT: Moscrop Secondary grad Harvinder Sihra talks to students at his alma mater about his long journey to the WWE as his brother and WWE tag-team partner Gurvinder listens. The two spoke to Moscrop students on Feb. 12. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR Tour” in Northern Manitoba.

“We got all the way up north to the reservations, driving 72 hours,” Harv said. “Sometimes we’d be in the car for five days, but we never had a grain of doubt that we were doing whatever it takes to make it.”

Between shows and small towns, the duo would send their resumés and photos and videos of their matches to WWE. In 2008, in an attempt to wow WWE recruiters with their work ethic, the brothers flew to Toronto, lied their way backstage at a show at Air Canada Centre and started handing out their highlight videos and photos.

“They told us to get the hell out and never to contact WWE ever again,”

Harv said. “That broke our hearts.”

Six years later, they said they got a chance to give WWE bigwig Paul Michael Levesque (a.k.a.Triple H) a 30-second elevator pitch.

But that wasn’t their big break either.

Levesque recognized the pair as the “Bollywood Boyz” – their ring name at the time – and said, if they really wanted to make it as a Bollywood act, they should go to India and break into the movie industry there.

Harv gave it a shot, even though he didn’t know anyone in the movie industry in India, he said, and eventually landed a small, uncredited role in Brothers, a 2015 film starring Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar.

But his goal was always WWE, he said.

In June 2016, the Sihra brothers finally got their big break with an invitation to compete in the promotion’s first-ever Cruiserweight Classic, a 32-man tournament in Orlando, Fla. showcasing up-and-coming

You take your failures and you use them to your advantage

talent from across the globe.

Today, wrestling for WWE is the duo’s full-time job.

“You can’t take no for an answer,” Harv told Moscrop students.

Besides determination,

the brothers stressed the importance of hard work and resilience.

“You take your failures and you use them to your advantage,” Gurv said.

“You learn something from them.”

The Sihra brothers’ talk at Moscrop is one example of what Burnaby schools are doing to support mental health skills and social emotional learning, according to the school district.

“Increasing understanding and support of mental health and well-being is a key goal in our strategic plan,” stated a district press release.

City now Anti-racism group hosts community dialogue Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

An anti-racism group is hoping to hear from a diverse range of voices when it hosts a community dialogue on global migration to Burnaby.

That means hearing not only from the converted but also from those who are skeptical of immigration.

The organizers say the intent is to reach beyond the echo chamber.

Burnaby Together is a coalition group led by Burnaby Family Life intending to tackle racism and hate in the community, part of the province’s Organizing Against Racism and Hate program.

The group is planning to hold on Feb. 26 a community dialogue described as a “provocative forum on how communities are changing.”

“Burnaby being as diverse as it is, there’s bound to be some tension at one point or the other.We see it sort of manifest from time

to time, in terms of there was some sort of white supremacy posters around the library at one time,” said Michel Pouliot, executive director of Burnaby Family Life.

“Sometimes (we get) direct reports of incidents where newcomers are made to feel like they don’t really belong in Burnaby. And I think that you’re watching what’s happening south of the border, and some of that sentiment is reflected here as well.”

With that in mind, Pouliot said the group wanted to have a community forum to talk about what it means to live in a culturally diverse community.

“We often have those events and we bring people together to try to talk about anti-racism and how do you tackle racism?” he said.

“What we found is that we tend to always get the same people around the table, and those people are the people that already support cultural diversity.”

Pouliot said the group decided it needed a new approach to try to go beyond preaching to the choir, and they’re hoping the forum will draw people with a variety of viewpoints on the matter.

The event will work to facilitate those speaking Arabic, Farsi and Chinese languages, said Ana Maria Bustamante, a coordinator with Burnaby Family Life.

She added the facilitator, UBC researcher Alden Habacon, will be laying out ground rules, and everyone will have to follow those rules as soon as they’re laid out.

Pouliot said he has confidence in Habacon as a facilitator to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved.

The event will be held at Burnaby Neighbourhood House (4460 Beresford St.) near the Metrotown SkyTrain station from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 26.

City now Keithley, D.O.A. featured in doc Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

Burnaby councillor and punk rock legend Joe Keithley and his band, D.O.A., will be the subjects of an upcoming documentary.

According to an Instagram post by Keithley, who also goes by the stage name Joey Shithead, the documentary will be titled Something Better Change.

The film will focus on Keithley and his “journey from punk to activist to activist politician and still-per-

forming punk musician,” Keithley wrote on Instagram.

“I’ve been at this for over 40 years and have no intention of stopping.”

Director Scott Crawford has previously focused on the Washington, D.C. punk scene in the ’80s in Salad Days (2014) and the early days of Creem, a rock magazine that launched in 1969, in Boy Howdy (2019). Producer-director Paul Rachman took a more broad look at the U.S. punk scene from the ’80s in American Hardcore (2006).

Carrier

In a description on Something Better Change’s Facebook page, the filmmakers noted the defining punk bands of the ’80s – Black Flag, D.O.A., Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks – which paved “the way for the eventual explosion of punk bands through radio and MTV in the decades to come.”

Keithley ran for a city council seat in 2018 under the Burnaby Greens banner, which opposed the dominant Burnaby Citizens Association slate, includ-

ing then-mayor Derek Corrigan. Keithley won a seat on council, making him, at the time, the only non-BCA member of council besides independent Mayor Mike Hurley.

In a brief Facebook exchange, the filmmakers confirmed the film is expected to be released in August 2022 – just a few months ahead of that year’s municipal election.They added regular attendees of city council should expect to see the filmmakers at work during some council meetings.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing g healthcare across Canada.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

You can register to be part of this groundbreaking new hearing study by calling 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study *Wingfield, A., Tun, P. A., & McCoy, S. L. (2005).

MAGNIFICAT

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The Amabilis Singers present Magnificat, a concert featuring the Magnificat by young Norwegian composer Kim Andre Arnesen, featuring organ, string ensemble and soprano solo.

WHERE AND WHEN? The concert is on Saturday, Feb. 29 at 8 p.m. at New Westminster Christian Reformed Church, 8255 13th Ave., Burnaby (between First and Newcombe streets).

WHO’S PERFORMING? Amabilis is a 60-plusvoice community choir, originally formed in 1980 as the Douglas College Community Choir. It became an independent community choir, under its current name, in 1989.

The choir is led by artistic director Ramona Luengen, with pianist Ingrid Verseveldt.

For the Magnificat

concert, the choir will be joined by soprano soloist Erin Sutton, violinist and string ensemble leader Andrea Siradze, and organist Lin Kim. WHAT’S ON THE PROGRAM? A write-up about the concert notes that the Magnificat, also known as the Canticle of Mary, is taken from the Gospel of Luke and has been a source of inspiration for countless composers over the eras, including Palestrina, Bach, Mozart, Franz Schubert, Anton Bruckner and Krzysztof Penderecki.

Arnesen’s Magnificat, the centrepiece of the program, was conceived as a prayer for the sick and the poor, out of hope for those who struggle, and as a musical reflection of Mary, who herself was of humble means. It’s a 40-minute, seven-movement work scored for strings, piano,

organ, choir and soprano solo, and it’s described as a “remarkable, heartfelt journey supported by beautiful melodic writing, radiant harmonies and exquisite tenderness.”

Audiences will also hear Martin Sedek’s I Sing of a Maiden, Pärt Uusberg’s Ave Maria, and Dan Forrest’s new work The Sun Never Says.

The concert will be sung without intermission.

HOW CAN I GET TICKETS? Tickets are $25 regular price (adults and seniors), $15 for secondary school students and free for children under 12.

Tickets are available online at www.eventbrite.ca (search for Magnificat with Amabilis Singers, or use a direct link at www.tinyurl. com/AmabilisMagnificat), by calling 604-897-7258, or at the door.

WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION? For more on the choir, including details of an upcoming 40th anniversary celebration, see www. amabilissingers.org.

Why Choose Us?

Check out a new art show at Neighbourhood House Burnaby Neighbourhood House is inviting everyone in to check out the work of a local artist.

An open house is set for tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 21) for a new exhibition on the North House art wall.

It features the work of Nadia Diamond, a Persian-Canadian artist who is focused on “spiritual techniques for living, selfawareness and awakening,” as a press release says.

Diamond grew up with a mother who was a miniaturist and gained a bachelor’s degree in arts, prompting Diamond to pursue painting and drawing herself.

At the age of 19, she moved to Turkey, where she gained experiences in a variety of art forms and mediums – including live dancing in music festivals, stage decorating, fabric design, character concept art, painting and 3D face design projects.

Within three years, she was on her way to Canada,

where she gained experience working on interior design projects.

“She is a proud Canadian citizen who is focused on her artistic journey and hopes to become even more successful in future,” said the release.

Diamond’s work will be on display for the rest of February and throughout the month of March.

You can stop in to check

it out anytime Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The open house is on Feb. 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s north location, 4908 Hastings St. For information, call 604294-5444 or email north info@burnabynh.ca.

Burnaby Lyric Opera stages Madama Butterfly Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

If you’re an opera fan in Burnaby, you’re likely already looking forward to this one.

If you haven’t booked your tickets already, snag them now for Burnaby Lyric Opera’s mainstage production of 2020, Madama Butterfly.

Music director Angus Kellett and stage director Brian Parkinson lead a cast of emerging professional opera singers in Giacomo Puccini’s beloved opera, set in turn-of-the-20th-century Japan, which tells the tragic story of a beautiful young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, who falls in love with and marries B.F. Pinkerton, an American naval lieutenant. Soon after their wedding, Pinkerton returns to America, and three years pass as Cio-CioSan raises their son and awaits his return. But, when Pinkerton finally comes back, it is to take his son back to America with him.

Burnaby’s own Chloe Hurst (soprano) stars as Cio-Cio San, with tenor Martin RennerWallace as Pinkerton.They’re joined by mezzo-soprano Emma Parkinson as Suzuki and baritone Scott Brooks as Sharpless.

If you’re familiar with the opera, you’ll already know that it contains music that’s considered some of the most beautiful ever written, including the aria Un Bel Di and the Love Duet.

It will be sung in Italian, with English surtitles.

The production is onstage at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Feb. 22 to 29,

with 8 p.m. shows on Feb. 22, 27 and 29, plus 2 p.m. matinees on Feb. 24 and 26.

Tickets are $36 regular, or $15 for youth. Buy through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or call 604-205-3000.

ART AT THE LIBRARIES Art lovers, be sure to stop by two Burnaby Public Library branches to check out a pair of ongoing off-site exhibitions by Burnaby Art Gallery.

At the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) library branch at 6100Willingdon Ave., you can check out Warren McLachlan’s Future Primitive. McLachlan’s work uses pages torn from the bindings of science fiction and natural history books, which serve as the foundation for handmade paper and collage works.

His work explores themes surrounding “the speculative nature of human imagination and our desire for a structured and definitive understanding of the world,” as a write-up about the show notes.The show is underway until May 3.

Meanwhile, at the McGill branch (4595 Albert St.), you can see Justin Patterson’s Bad Moon Rising, featuring a series of works rendered in graphite on canvas that “contemplate the elusive nature of memo-

ry in the (re)construction of meaning,” as a gallery writeup notes.

“Seemingly disparate images follow Patterson’s attempt to reconcile multiple historical narratives and ancestral oral histories surrounding a series of tragic events,” says the write-up.

Intrigued? Swing on by and check the exhibitions out any time during library hours. Or, for more, see www.burnabyartgallery.ca.

WHODUNIT? If you’re a fan of mystery novels, then mark this night on your calendar.

The Burnaby Public Library is hosting a Librarians’ Choice: Mystery Night on Tuesday, March 3 at the McGill branch (4595 Albert St.).

Librarians will offer up a night of reviews of mystery titles, running from 7 to 8:30 p.m.They’ll cover recent publications and new authors, as well as unearthing a few rewarding reads by authors who’ve been lost in the stacks.

It’s open to anyone who’s interested in crime and suspense writing.

You can register at any library branch, call 604-2998955 or sign up through www.bpl.bc.ca/events.

A community is like a family – show it some local love FAMILY DAY IS A TIME TO CONNECT WITH OUR LOVED ONES AND REFLECT ON OUR GRATITUDE FOR ONE ANOTHER, BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR WIDER COMMUNITIES? LIKE A FAMILY, A COMMUNITY REQUIRES NURTURING AND CARE IN ORDER TO FLOURISH. This week ask yourself: how well do you know the other families in your neighbourhood?

This year marks the United Way’s 90th anniversary.

With the new decade only just begun, United Way is designing innovative solutions to the issues facing communities of today and tomorrow – including social isolation.

“For the past few years, we have been hearing from residents in communities that social isolation is a growing issue,” says Kim Winchell, Director of Social Impact at United Way. Social isolation can look like not knowing our neighbours, difficulty making friends and feeling closed off in communities that are meant to be connected. Critically, the ramifications are much more serious than feeling a little lonely.

Researchers from the University of Chicago have shown a link between social isolation and increased rates of depression, poor sleep, cognitive decline, heart issues and impaired immunity. The most startling conclusion: these negative health impacts of social isolation are observable at every stage of life, meaning everyone in a community, no matter their age, is at risk.

Luckily, community is also one of our greatest sources of strength – sometimes it just needs a little “local love,” as United Way likes to call it. This is the premise of United Way’s Hi Neighbour initiative, which empowers everyday residents with tools to foster connections in their own unique ways.

In order to combat this feeling, she started to invite new mothers into her home to get to know one another. After she saw the demand in attendance, Kyle knew she had stumbled upon a cause very important to her, and was desperate to find more ways to help.

Meanwhile, community engagement specialists at United Way were also tracking a sense of isolation in the Burke Mountain area. That’s why it is now home to one of its eight Hi Neighbour initiatives, and why Kyle has been tapped as a local community builder to spark change in the area.

Recently, Kyle launched her podcast Parent Talk to discuss topics affecting new parents in an openminded and safe space. She’s also partnered up with like-minded community connectors, like Audrey Poulin, founder of a Canadian app called Social Mom. Kyle is using these innovative tools to ensure moms have a place to meet, socialize, and organize real-time events in which all communities can benefit. Help from United Way, and its Local Love Fund in Hi Neighbour Burke Mountain, have been instrumental in helping Kyle expand her reach and mobilize local moms.

As it marks its 90th anniversary, United Way continues to serve vulnerable populations through programs in our local communities – including those that help kids, families and isolated moms. United Way also sees change-makers like Kyle as part of the solution.

“Through Hi Neighbour, we have mobilized teams in eight local neighbourhoods where social isolation is a growing concern. These teams are embedded in the community and are working alongside residents as they design their own solutions to the issue,” says Winchell.

“Our society has never been so connected and so disconnected at the same time,” says Geneviève Kyle, Coquitlam resident and founder, producer and co-host of podcast Parent Talk.

burnaby@nursenextdoor.com 604-553-3330

Kyle moved to the Burke Mountain area of Coquitlam years ago from Quebec and felt overwhelmed at the number of new moms who admit to feeling isolated in the community.

“Meeting in person is a very good way to solve loneliness, anxiety and depression because it is all connected.”

“We really see the importance of providing programs and services for those most vulnerable in communities alongside community initiatives,” says Winchell.

“When those two go hand in hand, we really see stronger, sustainable communities.”

City now It’s time to ban cellphones in schools Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Sitting in the cafeteria of my oldest daughter’s soonto-be high school, I listened wide-eyed as the vice principal explained to our group of Grade 7 parents the importance of encouraging our kids to leave their devices at the door when heading to bed.

“The sooner you start this habit, the better,” she emphasized in a stern voice. As I listened to her reasoning, I realized that I had loosened the reins when it came to the screen-time restrictions of my eldest. She was pretty good about putting her phone away when asked.

She also needed to have her phone close as it was what she used for her alarm clock, I thought to myself – justifying my negligence.

“Don’t let them convince you that they need their phones for the alarm,” she continued, “get them a proper alarm clock instead.”

I could feel my face reddening as she said this – it

was as though she had read my mind.

She went on to explain the challenges many teens face at her school today. Sleeplessness. Anxiety.

Dropping grades. All as a result of spending too much time staying up late and staring at screens once their heads hit the pillow.

“It’s really become an issue that’s impacting every aspect of their lives,” she shared.

Last year, when I read that Ontario was going to enforce a cell phone ban in schools, I was opposed to the idea of B.C. following suit. I didn’t think that banning phones entirely was the right way to address device dependence, and suggested that schools promote selfregulation instead.

I have since changed my tune.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Research Co., 88% of the B.C. adults polled believed that the province should restrict the use of mobile phones during instructional time in kindergarten to Grade 12 classrooms.

I agree.

In a recent article shared

by TheWall Street Journal, experts are now treating teens for separation anxiety after being separated from their phones.The article reads, “Before class each day, a high-school teacher in Indianapolis grabs a clear plastic bag and fastens it to her waist with a ribbon.The homemade pouch is a repository for phones that are either confiscated or handed over voluntarily by students who don’t want to be tempted to tap or swipe during class. She calls this the ‘phoney pack.’ ” Students are so dependent on their devices that compromises are being made to ease the separation anxiety that occurs, such as letting young people see their devices from afar, or keep them close but locked up in a pouch to restrict access.

As it stands now, my daughter’s future high school leaves it up to each teacher to determine whether or not devices are allowed in the classroom.

Some allow use for class-

work only, others have a phone “parking lot” where devices are parked when students enter the classroom, and others ban them altogether.

I think it’s time for schools to get on the same page and ban phones entirely.

Kids can stay digitally connected with laptops for completing schoolwork.

Let’s focus on learning and leave the distracting devices at home.

B.C.’s girls ball hockey team that made an impressive showing at last year’s Canadian national junior under-19 girls championships is now seen as an inspiration behind the West Coast Ball Hockey Association’s creation of an allgirls league, beginning next month.

As part of the program’s aim to introduce the sport to more girls, the regional organizations, including Burnaby-based Metro Ball Hockey Association, is offering a league where there is no registration fee – just the cost of being properly equipped to put stick to floor and chase the ball.

“If we want this to be a place where we can compete (with national champion Ontario), we need this,” said MBHA president Paul Hundal. “There’s obviously an appetite for this, we need to keep going on with this.

Let’s see if we can continue that progression and get them playing together during the year.”

Metro is inviting girls from Burnaby, New West, Vancouver and the Tri-Cities to sign up for the fledgling league (visit www.metroballhockey.ca).

Other regional partners, including Delta and Richmond, are also taking part in the program, which is geared towards girls ages 11 to 19.Younger players would still play co-ed, and other girls may choose to stay with their co-ed leagues.

But only the all-girls league is free.

Hundal, who was the coach of last year’s inaugural Team B.C., notes how a lot of lessons were learned from competing at the national level, with a team that had little concrete floor experience. B.C. would rise to the challenge, placing third overall, and fuel the interest of taking the next step.

That means providing a place where girls can get a taste of the game in a comfortable, supported atmosphere.

“The opportunity here is to offer a sport for another demographic, to play

Ready to go: A member of Team B.C. and the Canadian Junior national team, Keasha Dahlsted hopes the recent string of successes for B.C. girls on the ball hockey front help boost the sport. To that end, the local Metro Ball Hockey Association is launching an all-girls league. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL, TRI-CITY NEWS

a sport that currently exists for just a few now,” said Hundal.

His resume prior to last season was as a coach of boys teams in a variety of sports.Taking on the task of getting a girls team together over a short period of time was a huge task, but one that opened his eyes to what a committed all-girls league could enhance.

“I’m super stoked for this.

Lessons learned for me was, female ball hockey in B.C. has mostly just been ‘let them play with the boys.’

They start out young and by the time they’re 11, 12, the difference in physique and mindset occur, and girls basically drop out.

“We want to encourage and create a place where they can develop their talents.”

To that point, some have already seen the rewards.

Keasha Dahlstedt and Jenna Proulx were members of B.C.’s u19 team who caught

the eyes of the Canadian junior national coach. A few months after last summer’s tournament, the pair received emails inviting them

It’s a lot easier to get comfortable in a sport where you are with people similar to you.

to join the national team.

“When I got the email I was really excited about it.

It seemed really surreal. I didn’t think it was actually a thing. I still don’t feel like it’s actually happening,” said Dahlsted, 16, of Coquitlam.

The Dr. Charles Best student has an ice hockey background, playing

with the Tri-City Predators midget A1 team. She was one of the more experienced players with B.C.’s ball hockey squad, having started the sport three years earlier after a concussion in lacrosse made her check out other options.

At that time, it meant playing with boys – which has been the norm for a lot of ball and ice hockey girls.

The idea of an all-girls league makes complete sense to her.

“It’s definitely a league where it would be more comfortable.There’d be a lot more players at the same skill level, and a chance to meet new friends and people in the community,” Dahlsted said. “I believe it’s going to be a real awesome opportunity.”

For Proulx, who hails from North Delta and has played her girls ice hockey with the Richmond Ravens program, the benefit of a girls league were obvious.

“It’s a lot easier to get comfortable in a sport where you are with people similar to you,” said Proulx, 18. “Being on a boys (ice hockey) team meant I felt different. I had to change in a separate changing room, and you felt segregated a bit.”

Although she had only one year in ball hockey – back when she was six years old – it was a fascinating immersion to be selected to Team B.C. “I’d played 13 years on ice, so when I got asked to play it was a real new experience,” said the Burnsview Secondary grad. “There was not a lot of time to get use to each other.We had to bond really fast, and the adjustment from chasing a puck to a ball was tougher than I thought it would be.”

Dahlsted envisions their next adventure, trying to bond with an Ontario-based national squad under the pressure of a world champi-

onship, as a wonderful opportunity. Had her B.C. team garnered layers of experience on an all-girls league, like many with the Ontario squad, they’d have been all the more prepared.

“I think we were a bit blown back by that – (Ontario) is such a good team.

That’s where we got to see everyone play as hard as they could, the skills really showed and our passes were clicking. … I think having a whole girls league where we could have played against, we’d probably have done better,” she said.

The new Metro all-girls league will begin play in late March at Moody Park, Burnaby Lake, Kensington and Trout Lake arenas.

Registration has already begun, so interested parents and players should sign up soon.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

B.C. Budget 2020: No new relief for renters or homebuyers British Columbian renters or would-be homebuyers looking for relief will be disappointed, as the B.C. Budget announcement contained no new measures or changes to current housing policy, beyond funding already slated within its existing 10-year housing plan.

In her stay-the-course budget, finance minister Carole James took the opportunity to laud the progress of the province’s Homes for BC plan, which she said was spending $1 billion a year on building new affordable homes across the province. The plan, which was promised in the NDP’s 2017 election campaign and formalized in its 2018 budget, aims to have 114,000 such homes built over one decade.

The minister also took the chance to repeat a previous announcement that the B.C. government is funding an inquiry into money laundering in real estate and other sectors.

James said in a statement, “Already, more than 23,000 homes for families, seniors, and individuals are complete or underway in 90 communities. Budget 2020 includes funding for new homes as well as funding for a public inquiry on money laundering. By cracking down on money laundering, stopping fraud, targeting

speculators, closing loopholes, and making renting more secure, government is working to make housing more affordable for British Columbians.”

Despite rental prices increasing beyond wage growth and inflation, and home prices now creeping up again following a recent correction, there were no additional measures to help renters or would-be homebuyers.

The Budget reported that the total value of home sales across the province is forecast to climb between four and six per year over the next three years, and that revenue from Property Transfer Tax is expected to increase correspondingly. In her Budget speech, James acknowledged, “The housing market is bouncing back.”

However, there was some relief in the supportive housing sector, which did see new funding announced.

The B.C. Budget website said, “New investments in Budget 2020 will open an additional 200 supportive homes for people and communities in need. With this new investment, government’s commitment to supportive housing now stands at 4,900 supportive housing units. In addition, two new 60-bed navigation centres — shelters with enhanced services — will open for people with complex challenges.”

Change to mortgage stress test The B.C. Budget came on the same day that the federal Liberal government made a tweak to the federal mortgage stress test, which has been widely cited as a key reason for the recent price correction in many housing markets.

The qualifying rate for insured mortgages (those with less than 20 per cent down payment) will now be calculated at the weekly median five-year fixed rate from mortgage insurance applications, plus two per cent. This replaces the previous calculation, which was the Bank of Canada’s average posted interest rate, or the mortgage applicant’s contracted rate plus two per cent, whichever was the higher.

The new measure, which goes into effect April 6, is set to ease the qualifying rate from some lenders from the current 5.19 per cent to 4.79 per cent.

James Laird, co-founder of Ratehub.ca and president of CanWise Financial, said, “Canadians who are getting insured and insurable mortgages can expect to qualify for a little bit more than what they can today. Homebuyers who cannot currently qualify for what they want, but are close, should redo their qualifying calculations using the new stress test. This change will be welcomed by the mortgage industry and consumers.”
