The City of Burnaby has announced it has promoted Leon Gous as its new chief administrative officer, which will be effective Sept. 7.

Gous first started work-

ing for the city in 2013 when he was hired as the director of engineering. Before Burnaby, he worked with the City of Vernon where he was the chief administrative officer for six years while also serving two years as the general manager of com-

Two dead in rollover crash on Duthie Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police are looking for help to piece together what caused a rollover crash that killed two men in Burnaby last week.

The call originally came in as a four-vehicle collision at Duthie Avenue and Montecito Drive at about 5:20 p.m. on July 21, according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj.

“It was chaos,” he said.

A pickup was found on its side after crashing into a pole with the driver trapped inside, a golf cart lay upside down in the middle of the road, and a mangled trailer was pushed up against another parked pickup with a smashed tailgate.

Firefighters had to cut the driver out of the flipped truck with the Jaws of Life, but the 38-year-old died at the scene, according to Kalanj.

A 57-year-old man associated with the parked pickup also died at the scene, he said.

Power was knocked out in the neighbourhood for 12 hours.

Investigators have determined the flipped truck, a

black Ford F150 pickup, was traveling south on Duthie before it slammed into the parked vehicle and rolled, according to Kalanj.

He said police are still trying to figure out where the second man was when

the crash happened.

“We don’t believe he was inside the vehicle, but we don’t know for sure,” Kalanj said.

Police are still in the process of determining whether speed or alcohol were factors, he said.

Collision analysts were on scene for hours, and Burnaby RCMP is waiting for their report, according to Kalanj.

Investigators are now urging anyone with security or dashcam video in the area around the time

of the crash to contact police.

“We know the vehicle came from the north, so even if someone has dashcam from three minutes before, five minutes before up the road, it might give us an idea of something,”

Kalanj said.

Look for a black Ford F150 pickup with a licence plate starting with the letters HA. Anyone with information is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999.

RECREATION

New Cameron centre to cost $252M and include a pool

Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

More details have been released about the proposed Cameron community centre, including a price tag of $252 million, 202,000 square feet of space and the addition of aquatics features, including a lap pool.

“The existing Cameron Recreation Complex and Cameron Library (the complex) was built in 1988,” reads a city staff report. “With no major renovation or expansion to the complex since

its development, the complex is no longer adequate to serve the growing community of the northeast quadrant of Burnaby.”

The current complex sits next to the City at Lougheed, which has multiple condo towers planned.The existing facility is 56,000 square feet and houses a gym, racquet courts and a library.

The initial round of public engagement, undertaken by the city in July 2020, included a public survey to generate ideas on the types of facilities the public would like to

see included in this project.The round of public engagement received more than 2,300 responses to a public survey.

As part of the city’s needs assessment, a review of the existing facility showed that: Ð the library is 200% oversubscribed; Ð the gymnasium is used at maximum capacity; Ð weight, cardio and fitness is oversubscribed; and Ð the racquet courts are 50% underutilized.

The new facility would include:

Ð a new aquatics centre, running track and youth lounge; Ð a larger library, gymnasium, weights and cardio; Ð active studios, multipurpose rooms and a seniors lounge.

Including supporting ancillary spaces and underground parking, the proposed building has a total gross area of 202,000 square feet, said the report.

“Working with the site’s challenging topography,” the report said, the schematic design illustrates a three-storey building –

with a one-level underground parkade – with a portion of the building embedded into the slope to reduce the height.The new building will house three main components: library, aquatics, and recreation and leisure.

The report says the facility will include an aquatic facility with leisure pool, six-lane lap pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room, party room, ondeck viewing space, universal, accessible, genderneutral changing facilities and an outdoor sundeck.

Other proposed features

include: Ð a café with outdoor patio seating; Ð a seniors lounge with snooker room; Ð various-sized active studios; Ð weights and cardio equipment area; Ð a four-lane indoor walking and running track; and Ð an outdoor weights terrace and gym space.

Council approved more than $25 million for the second phase of the project.The report says construction would begin in 2023 and run until 2026.

Mom upset over ‘R’ movies

A Burnaby mom was livid after her sting operation with CBC Radio showed most local video stores were willing to rent “R” rated movies to her 11-year-old daughter.While there were laws in place for theatres to stop minors from watching restricted movies, video stores were not bound by them. Shelly Cromer set out to draw attention to the problem by sending her young daughter into stores to rent adult movies.Three out of five did. And one of the stores that refused was later caught renting to other kids younger than 15.

Opinionnow City ‘taking advantage’ with construction project on Broadway Editor: I am writing regarding the City of Burnaby’s construction project on Broadway Street from Underhill to Bainbridge.

I have a child-care centre on Camrose Drive and Broadway.

I am so fed up with the way they are taking advantage. They are taking an extremely long time, and the way they block the road from the both sides, it’s not even explainable.

They don’t let any deliveries to my house for months. I have to go and pick the parcel up from the intersection. They let only the local traffic in. One day I was coming from Bainbridge, and they stopped me. I went back and tried to come from Lake City side. They again stopped me. I mentioned them that I live here, you are blocking both sides. How I am going to get to my house?

On top of that, they did not let you know ahead of time that they are blocking this area from next week or day after. I always get to know in the evening or sometimes on the same day from the parents that they are not letting them go through.

It is so frustrating for me and the parents

dropping their kids. Their flaggers always block the road from the both sides while I have no parking or driveway at the back of my house.

They park their vehicles in my driveway without permission.

I tried to call their project manager, and they even don’t try to fix the problem.

So many times I informed the parents that you are good to come from this side. In the morning, it’s same. Their flaggers don’t let the parents come in.

Now, it’s just like we are blocked inside and they are doing what they want. There is no bus service in this area, from Lake City to Duthie Avenue, not enough street lights.

Hardeep Kaur, Burnaby

Burnaby shouldn’t be in the restaurant business Editor: I was surprised to read the article about the City of Burnaby’s plans to run its own restaurant on Burnaby Mountain.

I don’t understand how running a restaurant has anything to do with providing good government for the citizens of Burnaby.

In my opinion, such a risky and costly venture should be left to the private sector.

Citynow Indigenous name reclamation still a challenge Lawyer offers free services for those looking to reclaim names Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby lawyer who is offering his services free of charge to people who want to reclaim Indigenous names lost during colonization and at socalled Indian residential schools, says a lot of barriers remain despite a federal process announced last month to help.

Enabling residential school survivors to reclaim their Indigenous names is one of the Calls to Action that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s final report in 2015.

Staff at residential schools routinely stripped students of their Indigenous names and replaced them with Euro-Canadian ones, according to the report.The report also includes numerous firsthand accounts of survivors who remember being referred to only by special numbers they had been assigned upon entry into the system.

Call to Action 17 called on all levels of government to waive administrative costs for name changes on official identity documents, such as birth certificates, passports and driver’s licences, to help residential school survivors reclaim lost names.

‘NO ONE TOLD US’ The Trudeau government committed in 2015 to “fully implement” the Calls to Action, but no policies were put in place for Indigenous name reclamation until last month after the discovery of 215 suspected unmarked children’s graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in May. And that policy appears to have been rushed out the door, according to Burnaby immigration lawyer William Tao. “A lot of details weren’t ironed out,”Tao told the

NOW. He questions whether the government consulted adequately with Indigenous communities before unveiling the policy.

“Our feedback from community members has been like ‘No one told us about this,’”Tao said.

‘POTENTIAL TRIGGER AND TRAUMA POINT’ Take fingerprinting, for example.

The City of Burnaby is currently working on a change to its police services fees bylaw that will make it explicit that the local RCMP detachment’s $60 fingerprinting fee doesn’t apply to “Indigenous peoples, residential school survivors and their family members changing to Indigenous names,” according a recent report to the city’s financial management committee.

The change would bring the bylaw in line with similar federal fee waivers, the report said.

Getting fingerprints taken is one of the first steps in a provincial namechange application, and provincial ID is required to apply for name changes on federal documents, like passports and citizenship certificates, according to Tao. But paying fees may be the least of an applicant’s concerns when it comes to the fingerprinting process, he said.

“The fact that these provincial processes almost always require fingerprinting or require an Indigenous applicant to go to a police office to get their fingerprints is a potential trigger and trauma point,” he said.

Danita Bilozaze, a Vancouver Island woman who became the first person in Canada to reclaim her Indigenous name under Call to Action 17, agreed.

The first step in her journey began at an

REACHING OUT: Lawyers Edris Arib, Angela Harris and Will Tao are offering pro bono help to Indigenous people looking to reclaim traditional names lost during colonization. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED RCMP detachment getting fingerprints.

“I am a school teacher, so I am a law-abiding citizen and stay between the lines, and I felt intimidated going in there,” she said.

For other members of her community, she said the experience could be “terrible.”

Police officers were often responsible for taking Indigenous children from their families and taking them to residential schools, and Indigenous people have long been overrepresented in Canada’s criminal justice system, according to Don Johnston, director of Simon Fraser University’s Office for Aboriginal Peoples.

“In my family, my mother and aunt and uncle, when they went to residential school, they were actually picked up by the RCMP and taken to residential school on the way home from work,” he said.

With that kind of history, he said some Indigenous people may not be comfortable going into an RCMP detachment to reclaim their names.

He said Indigenous people may also be leery of what use will be made of the prints once they are taken.

Johnston also said names and identity in the Indigenous community are “probably a lot more complex than the government realizes.”

For Johnston it comes down to consultation.

“They want to address a wrong, so, to be able to do that adequately, they should be talking to the people that were wronged.”

GAPS IN THE PROCESS The federal announcement of the policy last month pointed to a “formal process” now in place for all Indigenous people to reclaim traditional, ancestral names.

But Tao, an immigration lawyer, said there are a lot of gaps in that process that need to be addressed.

“Applicants who are looking at that website are really confused,” he said.

For one thing, the federal webpages contain no links to provincial agencies and forms required to

start the process, he said.

The current federal system also can’t accommodate some characters used in Indigenous names but not used in English or French.

But the biggest barrier in the current process, according to Tao, is just a general lack of education about it.

“Your job is not done by putting up instructions,” Tao said.

‘IT’S OUR IDENTITY’ Bilozaze said getting help from someone like Tao would have saved her a lot of grief on her journey to reclaim her name.

She said she spent eight months in daily battle with numerous federal and provincial agencies before she managed to get the last of her documents changed into her Indigenous name shortly before the “formal process” was announced in June.

Her reclaimed name, Bilozaze, means “the makers” in Denesųłine,́ the language of Łuechok Túe, the Cold Lake First Nation.

It points to her family’s traditional role as a peo-

ple who work with their hands, she said.

When she first explained the meaning of the reclaimed family name to an aunt, she said her aunt had cried and told her it felt as if a missing piece had fallen back into place.

“It’s our identity,” Bilozaze said.

But not enough has changed since the federal announcement on the name reclamation process, according to Bilozaze, and she’s concerned others in the Indigenous community who aren’t school teachers with master’s degrees like her, won’t get as far as she did.

“I’ll always keep going back to my mom,” Bilozaze said. “She’s elderly, and she does not have a lot of fight left in her, so I could just see her caving in and paying the fees or maybe just giving up.”

Citynow Court ruling sheds light on deadly gang shooting Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A B.C. Supreme Court ruling has shed more light on the ongoing investigation into a “brazen” fatal gang shooting at a Burnaby gas station early last year.

On Jan. 18, 2020, at about 6:30 p.m., 28-yearold Julian Johnson was shot multiple times at the Chevron gas station at Willingdon Avenue and Canada Way, across the street from BCIT, according to police reports.

A ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Riley last week said Johnson had been inside a white Toyota RAV4, and video footage from nearby security cameras indicated the shooters were riding in a black Nissan Rogue.

Johnson was rushed to hospital but succumbed to

his injuries.

He was “known to police,” according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, and his shooting was believed to be linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.

“This was a brazen shooting in a public place, and we are relieved no one else was hurt,” IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Frank Jang said in a news release at the time.

TORCHED VEHICLE Within hours of the shooting, police located a burning Nissan Rogue that had been abandoned in a Langley field, Riley’s ruling said. An examination of the vehicle turned up two parts from two handguns – a slide and a magazine for each of the two firearms, according to the ruling.

After obtaining a search

warrant, police took swabs from all four door handles and located and seized a black glove, a bullet casing and a bullet from inside the vehicle, the ruling said.

It turned out the Rogue had also had a tracking device installed in it as part of another police investigation unrelated to the Burnaby shooting.

The tracking data in the days before the shooting indicated the vehicle had been parked at the Richmond Sandman Hotel, according to the ruling.

Homicide investigators paid that hotel a visit, found out which room the occupants of the Rogue had been staying in and examined it for fingerprints, the ruling said.

Some of those prints came back to N.M. – a “known member of a wellknown gang operating throughout British Co-

lumbia,” according to the court ruling.

(N.M.’s identity has been anonymized as no charges have yet been laid in the case.)

N.M. and three other individuals were then arrested in West Vancouver on Jan. 28, 2020 as part of another, unrelated investigation.That arrest led to the seizure of five cellphones, the ruling said.

The ruling noted N.M. – “a potential suspect in the murder investigation” – is currently at large on outstanding warrants for unrelated matters in both Canada and the U.S. EVIDENCE SEIZED Crown prosecutors were in court to request an order allowing police to hold on to some of the seized items even though it has been more than a year since they were taken and no charges have been laid.

The application included the firearms components found in the Nissan Rogue; the four swabs taken in the Rogue; the black glove, bullet casing and bullet seized from the Rogue; a BlackBerry cell phone seized from N.M. during his arrest in West Vancouver; and another BlackBerry seized from the centre console of a Ford Explorer during the arrest of the other three individuals in West Van. The ruling noted analysis of the gun parts had not yet been completed; some of the swabs haven’t been analyzed; and data has not yet been extracted from the two BlackBerries because they are encrypted.

“Investigators are hopeful that with further technological advancements they may be able to access these devices for use in the

investigation,” Riley said.

Riley noted the importance of balancing “property and privacy interests of those from whom things have been seized, and the interests of law enforcement and society at large in the proper investigation of serious criminal activity.”

But he ultimately ruled it was “in the interests of justice” to allow police to hold on to the firearms components, swabs and other items seized from the Nissan Rogue until Jan. 28, 2022.

As for the further detention of the two BlackBerries, Riley said he was willing to adjourn the matter and hear further arguments and evidence from the Crown prosecutor.

The matter is scheduled to return to New Westminster Supreme Court on Aug. 25.

Citynow City looking for feedback on new dog park plans Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Fido could soon have more areas to play within Burnaby.

The city is seeking public feedback through a survey about a possible extension of the off-leash area at Barnet Marine Park and the addition of a new offleash park at Willingdon Heights Park.

BARNET MARINE PARK DOG OFF-LEASH AREA Barnet Marine Park is located on the shores of Burrard Inlet in north Burnaby and has 1.2 hectares of open space for dogs to be off-leash.

The park is open during select hours during the fall as well as the winter season, but there are time restrictions during the high usage periods during spring and summer.

From May to September, the off-leash dog area is open on weekdays from dawn to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to dusk. On weekends, the park is only open from dawn to 10 a.m.

The city is now considering extending the boundaries of the offleash area to the west. If the project goes ahead, the trail length would go from 420 metres to 920 metres.

The expanded area is made upon trails and

wooded areas that will continue to have open access and shared with all park users.

The city says they are also considering lifting time restrictions of the offleash area during the summer months.

A survey is available for thoughts and feedback until Aug. 31, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. via the city’s website.

WILLINGDON HEIGHTS PARK DOG OFF-LEASH AREA There are currently 10 off-leash dog areas located throughout numerous parks in Burnaby where dogs can exercise and train, but they are not only

for dogs and can be shared with other park users.

The city says northeast Burnaby is continuing to grow at a rapid base, which means resident needs are also changing.

“The city is currently identifying new locations to build off-leash areas in our parks and is considering the development of a new fenced-in off-leash area for dog in the southern tip of the Willingdon Heights Park,” a city proposal says.

“The proposed Willingdon Heights Park dog offleash area will better serve the growing neighbourhood with residents.

“It will create a safe,

more engaging park space for people with and without dogs.”

A survey is available until Aug. 31 at 12:59 p.m. via the city’s website.

Community now New SFU vending machines offer fresh food options Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

SFU students pulling all-nighters atop Burnaby Mountain will soon be able to pick something more nutritious than instant noodles for a midnight snack thanks to a fancy new vending machine coming to the university’s West Mall Centre.

SFU has partnered with UpMeals, a company that supplies and stocks socalled “smart vending machines” that dispense fresh packaged meals.

The exact contents of the SFU machine will be decided based on feedback from students during a survey in the next couple of weeks, according to UpMeals co-founder and CEO Drew Munro, but UpMeals machines already in operation in a few condo towers and of-

fice buildings in Vancouver and Richmond stock “combination of healthy treats, cold-pressed juices, wraps, healthy salads, bowls and even entrees,” he said.

Students will be able to buy healthy meals and snacks from the West Mall Centre machine 24/7 starting in September.

“The goal is that students that are studying, that are working late at night, should be able to access quality food and not have to be eating instant noodles or KD or some of the things that sometimes students are forced to eat,” Munro told the NOW. When it comes to price, however, he admits his company’s products won’t be able to compete with those starving-student staples.

“We’re certainly not go-

ing to be offering a fresh meal for cheaper than a pack of instant noodles, but we’re really viewing us as a direct competitor to things like Uber Eats and DoorDash,” he said.

Besides dispensing fresh food that’ll be between 20% and 40% cheaper than comparable items bought through a food delivery app, Munro said the UpMeals vending machine will also be the more sustainable choice.

He pointed out that food delivery apps currently make many trips a day up the mountain – often carrying just a single meal for a single person.

UpMeals meals are produced in a HAACP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) certified kitchen in South Vancouver and the SFU vending machine will be stocked based on data gathered

Fresh choices: A refrigerated vending machine dispensing fresh food will be available 24/7 to SFU Burnaby students come fall.

from the machine, according to Munro.

Most of the food will be chilled, but a few items will be designed to be warmed for eating.

The West Mall Centre machine will be a pilot installation, Munro said, and the plan is to install more machines once stu-

dent preferences are “dialed in.”

SFU director of food and ancillary services Dan Traviss said the university is “thrilled” with the concept.

“The students, faculty and staff at Simon Fraser University are always searching for healthy food

choices,” he said in a press release. “Ensuring our campuses are equipped with nourishing options at any hour of the day will support a healthy student body and mind.”

Community now Shoreline cleanup pays tribute to lost son Diane Strandberg Tri-City News

Grief knows no municipal boundaries.

And when Burnaby mother Belinda Ruckman comes to Port Coquitlam on Aug. 7, she’ll be doing an act of kindness in memory of her beloved son.

Ruckman and her husband, Jim, have taken solace in the leafy Traboulay PoCo Trail along the Coquitlam River since their son, Reno, died from tainted drugs in 2019.

Now they want to give back by organizing a shoreline cleanup.

“The overdose crisis is affecting every community,” said Ruckman, who is hosting the event with the support of the city, City Avenue Market and Meridian Meats in PoCo, along with other businesses.

Ruckman said her son enjoyed the outdoors, especially playing basketball outside, so the litter cleanup will honour him.

But is also being done out of appreciation for PoCo’s natural areas along the river.

“We enjoy it and get a lot of healing there.”

Ruckman created the Reno Kindness Challenge (RKC) out of a desire to take some positive action in light of B.C.’s overdose crisis.

Reno’s life was taken on Aug. 17, 2019, at the age of 24, from an accidental overdose due to fentanyl poisoning.

He worked at Big Star Sandwich Co. in Burnaby, where a fundraiser is being organized in his name, went to school in Burnaby and left behind a loving family.

“If we can find a way to

turn his tragic death into something positive, perhaps his loss will not be in vain. He is missed by all who knew him and we want the immense love we have for Reno to be carried through in our kindness to others,” stated Ruckman in a news release.

Cargo Handlers

Many parents search for the meaning in a child’s death and Belinda is no different: Part of her healing journey was to start a campaign aimed at inspiring people to connect to others through kindness.

She initiated RKC to raise awareness and help to end the stigma associated

with mental health. She is also fundraising for Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH).

The shoreline clean-up in PoCo is another avenue for positive action, she said.

“It’s just a way of people getting together and being supportive and doing this act of kindness together.”

Join in The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup will take place Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. along the Coquitlam River starting at Lions Park in Port Coquitlam.

To join, you’re encouraged to visit the initiative’s website, click on the map and find The Reno Kindness Challenge; walk-ins will also be accepted.

Bags, gloves, cold drinks and snacks will be provided at the event along with goodie bags, and donations of picker tools are encouraged to assist with the litter clean up.

The meeting area will be set up beside the playground at the Meridian Meats tent.

AS WE AGE

Celebrating Seniors

Get moving to maintain good health as you age Margaret Coates contributor

Recently, along with a popular fitness tracking device, I received a birthday card with the inside caption reading “If you rest, you rust.”

It led me to think about the role of exercise in supporting the healthy aging of seniors.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) says exercise improves your balance, reduces falls and injuries, helps you stay independent longer and helps prevent heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, some cancers and premature death.

A Health Canada paper suggests that “chronic inactivity is associated with negative health outcomes such as premature death, chronic diseases, illness and disability, as well as reduced quality of life and independence.”

In a report called Raising the Profile of the Community-Based Seniors’ Services Sector in B.C.:A Review of the Literature, the authors point out that despite widely accepted health benefits, seniors are not getting the exercise they need.

They write that the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines recommend a minimum of 150 minutes

of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week in order to accrue health benefits. But they cite a Statistics Canada survey that found only 12% of Canadians aged 60 to 79 were meeting these guidelines.

Some of you may already be exercising. But are you getting enough or the right kind of exercise?

Research suggests a number of different approaches to exercising.

PHAC suggests taking part in at least two-and-ahalf hours of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic activity each week.

The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) says to achieve health benefits and improve functional abilities, adults aged 65 years and older should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week in bouts of 10 minutes or more.

Both PHAC and CSEP suggest at least two sessions a week of muscle and bone strengthening to help with posture and balance.

Whatever fitness target you set for yourself, it is important to get moving. If you have been an inactive senior, check with your health-care professional first. Start slowly and build your activity

PHOTO NORTH SHORE NEWS FILES level until you are comfortable. PHAC suggests increasing your activity level 10 minutes at a time.

Seniors should have no problem finding an exercise program or class that suits their needs.They can find an activity such as swimming, cycling or dancing.They can look for group activities like bad-

minton or lawn bowling. If a senior has a physical disability they can find chair exercise classes (most seniors centres have them).

There are classes for balance and osteoporosis as well. If you are not interested in a seniors program, grab a friend or family member for a walk – it’s free. I know in our

rainy weather it’s difficult to walk outdoors, but mall walking is a good replacement activity.

If you are able, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and maybe walk to your next lunch engagement.

Choose a parking spot farther away from a store, incorporating a walk into

your shopping trip.

For seniors who have been active, maybe shake it up a bit and find another activity you have not tried.

Anyone for a Zumba class or pickle ball game?

Come on everyone, let’s move, not rust away.

New B.C. initiatives focus on queer-positive care

Seniors’ care organizations have joined forces to help make sure LGBTQ2S+ seniors can find safe and inclusive care in B.C. BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA), EngAge BC and Dignity Seniors Society (DSS) have formed a new collaboration to promote LGBTQ2S+ inclusiveness and competency in B.C.’s continuing care sector.

Through a series of initiatives, BCCPA and DSS are continuing to raise awareness of the need for “queer-positive” care for seniors in the home or in care homes.

“One of the ways organizations like ours can support members of LGBTQ2S+ community is

to create awareness of the need for inclusive and queer-positive care for seniors,” said BCCPA CEO Terry Lake, in a statement.

“Through workforce training and public awareness, we can help people feel that they are supported and safe to be themselves, whether it is at home, in seniors’ housing or in a care home.”

In B.C., it is estimated between 3% and 10% of the population are lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, two-spirited or transgender (LGBTQ2S+).While many seniors’ living and care providers are already supporting LGBTQ2S+ clients in the work they do, many queer seniors still feel that they must mask their sexuality or moder-

ate their gender expression to “fit in.”This is often described as “going back into the closet.”

“The LGBTQ2S+ seniors of today are members of the generation that spearheaded the original Gay Pride movement and fought for the rights of all queer people,” says Darren Usher, DSS board chair. “Many have lived very ‘out’ lives and have been connected to a strong community, and they do not want to give that up just because they’re elderly and require care. Our work together with BCCPA and EngAge BC can help the sector to become more inclusive of LGBTQ2S+ seniors and the services they deliver become more queer positive.”

What’s the scoop on poop?

Ever picked up a puddle of poop that smells like something died? The first thing I hear from new customers is that Amoré poop is well formed, easy to pick up and doesn’t smell. What comes out is a reflection of what goes in! If you feed your pets unhealthy food, the poop won’t scoop!

Q

How do I know if WorkSafeBC (WCB) is paying me fairly?

Q

A

There are a number of factors that go into assessing whether you are getting paid fairly by WCB.

A

One factor is whether WCB sets your wage rate correctly.

Wage rates can be calculated in a number of ways. If your wage rate does not look like it accurately reflects your average earnings, this could be the problem.

Dentures that replace some but not all of the teeth are known as partial dentures. They attach to the teeth that are still present and also cover and rest on the gums and bone where the teeth are missing.

Gail Sharma Work Injury Lawyer

Amore Pet Foods

The best starting point to see if dentures are an option for you is to visit a Denturist. A Denturist focuses solely on removable appliances that replace teeth with extensive training on the restoration and replacement of teeth, including dentures for even the most complex cases.

Dentures may replace all or only some of the teeth. The dentures that replace all the teeth are known as complete dentures and they rest on the gums that cover the jawbones. The stability and retention of these dentures are dependent on the foundation.

If you would like help determining whether you are getting paid fairly or need assistance with your claim, call me at 604-327-9882. We offer a free consultation to determine whether we can help.

Barbara Fellnermayr Owner & Founder

I need dentures. Where do I start?

A Denturist will also be able to help determine if another treatment option might be more suited to your particular situation.

Another factor is the type of compensation you are being paid. For example, are you on wage loss benefits or on a disability pension? Different stages can result in different payments. If you disagree with a WCB decision, you can request a review of this decision.

Q A

I have some hearing loss and I’m finding it difficult to understand people especially when background noise is present, will hearing aids help?

Background noise is present in everyone’s life.

Unconsciously, the brain filters out most background noise.

During hearing loss, the brain becomes lazy in this process because all sounds are reduced or inaudible. When an individual begins using the hearing aid all sounds are once again heard and it is necessary to retrain the brain in selective listening skills. It is critical that the hearing aid consumer participate in follow-up and counseling sessions during this period of adjustment.

Some helpful tips - two hearing aids instead of one, hearing aids with digital signal processing, hearing aids with directional microphones, wireless technology and possibly auditory training will increase your chances for success.

Q A

How Often Should I Have a Check-up and Cleaning?

There are many factors that will determine how often you need to have your teeth cleaned. For the average patient with good oral hygiene habits, dentists recommend check-ups every 6 months. Regular cleaning can help to identify gum disease, screen for other oral diseases and can be an opportunity to discuss ways to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Professional cleaning by a hygienist cleans your teeth in ways home care cannot.

Special tools are used to remove stains and hard deposits like tartar and calculus that your toothbrush can’t remove.

Your hygienist will discuss habits like smoking and highsugar diets that can have a negative impact on oral health and will lead to needing more frequent professional care.

A patient with gum disease can require cleanings every 3-4 months, sometimes even needing advanced care with a Periodontist (gum specialist). Talk to your dentist today!

MEGA morsels® were an accident, best one I’ve ever had. Trying to figure out the moisture content of our frozen food, we air dried 100 grams.

Air drying preserves the nutritional integrity of the ingredients. The ingredients that were chosen for what they contribute to final product.

Final result 25 grams. My two taste testers, Sassy & Lola, were jumping up because something smelled so good. I broke off a small piece and they gobbled it up; in fact they wanted more. That was in 2010, just before the Olympics. We’ve been selling MEGA morsels®, coast to coast, ever since. Sassy is our best customer and advertising; at 18 she’s still a going concern, running, jumping, playing with other dogs and sitting at our front door inviting passersby. Most customers think Sassy is 6 or 7; they’re shocked to find out she’s 18, it’s all because of the food.

Dogs pull owners to our door, they want to check out the smell. We’ve set up a free taste testing table so bring your dog for free treats! If you don’t have your dog with you, we’ll send you home with samples. We want to ensure that whichever product you buy is consumed with the same gusto at home as in the store. Our dog food comes in 7 different proteins, 5 for cats. Our products are all made on site. Look around, you won’t find chemicals, additives, preservatives or synthetic ingredients.

Everything that goes into our food is human grade, local when possible.

It’s shelf stable and easy to feed. Some customers use the food as sprinkles for their regular food. Soon enough they come back to the store to buy more, their dog will only eat the sprinkles. We make MEGA morsel treats, same formula as the food, cut in strips and don’t fall apart in your pocket. We’ve just formulated MEGA squares in double chicken liver, double beef liver and double buffalo liver. Everything we make, even treats, are nutritious. No wheat, no corn, no soy. Come visit us, at 4540 Hastings Street, 1/2 block east of Willingdon. We’re open 11-6, Monday to Saturday. Or check us out at amorepetfoods.com.

I am having trouble overspending each month. I’ve tried to budget but it’s too much work to track everything I spend. I’ll start but then give up in a couple of weeks.

What can I do differently to have more success?

This answer starts with knowing how much you spend each month and how much after-tax money you bring in. But before you start worrying about creating a dreaded budget and tracking every nickel and dime per category, let’s look at a different approach. My budget has two categories in it: fixed and variable. Fixed expenses are how much you need to spend each month to maintain your lifestyle. While variable expenses include what you are accustomed to having on hand to really enjoy your lifestyle, such as money for a fancy coffee. I have a spreadsheet that list out all the bills needed to keep a roof over my head, my family (and dog) fed and gas in my car; everything else is variable. Next, keep an eye on where you tend to overspend. Overspending tends to happen in one or two areas so rather than focusing on the whole budget, focus on the areas that are giving you trouble. Is it late night online shopping tempting you with free shipping?

A hobby or collection that’s gotten out of hand? Forcing yourself to give up something you enjoy rarely works, but at times some recreational “triage” needs to take place. You can either replace it with something else that you enjoy that costs less, or if you decide the enjoyment is worth the money spent then set a maximum spend per month or even make a game of finding great deals for your hobby each month.

Q

How to Beat Isolation Safely?

Q

What is a pre-approval?

A

Social isolation creates negative emotions in people. It causes mixed feelings of loneliness and anxiety, with the elderly being particularly vulnerable. Here are some ideas to beat isolation safely, especially during this pandemic.

A

Once you’ve found the right mortgage advisor, a good first step in your home buying journey is to secure a pre-approval, which is based on verified client financial information such as your employment and down payment confirmation. While a pre-approval does not guarantee approval of a mortgage, it helps estimate the mortgage amount you may qualify for. The final approval decision is made when a full mortgage application is submitted along with details of the property being purchased. With a pre-approval, you and your mortgage advisor can discuss different options and scenarios to determine if you are ready to purchase your home and help refine the search criteria for your new home. Home buying is one of the most important financial decisions you will make, and your mortgage advisor will provide the advice and individual plan you need to guide you through the home buying journey.

1 Engage in Healthy Activities When you are isolated, it’s easy to lose your flow. But don’t worry; you can reclaim it by reintroducing yourself to healthy hobbies or pastimes such as woodworking, knitting, cooking, painting, photography, reading, or writing.

2

Go Outside Stepping outside and getting some fresh air in your backyard can have a significant impact on your overall health. You can even take a walk. All in all, be sure to notify someone when going out.

Tell them where you’ll be going and how long you’ll be gone.

3 Engage in Games to Keep Your Mind Busy Make time to participate in games regularly. Games will keep your mind busy and enhance your mental health. Try to stay in the present moment and mentally immerse yourself in the activity to allow it to resonate and reverberate.

If you are at risk for loneliness and social isolation, try to connect to community resources for help. You may also consider hiring a Home Care company. Spending quality time with home care workers can alleviate the feelings of loneliness and put a smile back on your face.

The response is almost always immediate and positive: “Yes! I’m fully vaccinated!” and “I’m getting my second dose on Saturday!”

But with a few, there is a pause – the momentary si-

Not Ready to Live Close to Everything You Need?

We hear it all the time… “I’m not ready yet.”

And we understand. Leaving your home for a retirement residence is a big deal.

But might you be ready for the convenience of central living?

Imagine not having to commute to appointments. Imagine stepping out your front door into a welcoming neighbourhood with shops, restaurants and community services just moments away.

lence of hesitancy. “No …

I’m waiting for now.”

Some are anxious about potential side effects.

These have already been well documented and, at this time, the very rare risks are far outweighed by the current high risk for COVID-19 complications in the unvaccinated.

Some think the mRNA vaccines were rushed and not up to the safety standards required of established non-COVID-19 vaccines.This is not the case. Health Canada has taken the time to ensure that the approved vaccines have sufficient efficacy and safety data.

Some are waiting for the pandemic to end, but that time is not coming soon – the risk to the unvaccinated of serious COVID-19 infections will continue to increase as public health restrictions are relaxed and variants spread.

In some situations, people are being told that it isn’t proper COVID-19 etiquette to ask another if they are vaccinated. I have to ask as I am my patients’ partner in health.

You should ask your friends if you are planning to meet to share a meal, dessert or drink indoors.

If you are planning a social gathering, you have an obligation to protect your family and guests. Employers also have a responsibility to protect their employees, clients, patients or customers.

That’s my professional opinion now, and it will change as our pandemic situation evolves and new information becomes available.We must keep

our minds open to reliable, new information and not commit prematurely to an unchanging opinion.

I’m concerned that some have shut down their decision-making process by committing to not vaccinate in spite of growing evidence in favour of taking their shots.The most extreme hold onto their opinions with religious fervour.

Psychologist Adam Grant, in his new book Think Again, provides relevant advice.

The key to continuous learning and growth is to maintain the beginner’s mind.The seasoned physicians who make the best decisions are continuous learners who are always open to new information.

Common sense would lead us to believe that confidence increases in proportion to our skill development, but the reality is the Dunning-Kruger curve.When we are learning a new skill or new to an area of knowledge, our confidence initially rises to the point of overconfidence. If we continue to learn, our confidence then takes a dip when we realize how little we know, and then more slowly rises in proportion to our true knowledge and skill.

As we move through life – through the pandemic and beyond – we should each maintain that beginner’s mind, challenge instead of cherish our opinions, be open to new and evolving information, and even seek out contrary points of view.

For more from Dr.Wong, read his blog at davidicus wong.wordpress.com.

So... are you sure you’re not ready yet?

EADIE − Doris (nee Towndrow) passed away peacefully in New Westminster, BC, on July 21, 2021, with family by her side. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Kenneth in 2004. She is survived by her three sons (Paul, David, Graham) and their families; and her niece and nephews and their families.

AGUTTER, Diane Joan May 5, 1941 - June 30, 2021

The family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at the Queens Park Care Centre.

Sadly, Diane passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.

Diane was a kind, generous, compassionate soul who will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

No service by request.

Diane loved animals, especially elephants and cats, rescuing and cherishing several animals throughout her lifetime. If friends so wish, a donation in her memory to BCSPCA or Elephant Orphan Rescue Nairobi, Kenya would be appreciated. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m., on Saturday, August 7th, 2021, at Kearney’s Columbia Bowell Chapel in New Westminster.

"Together again, with Ken"

Diane was born in Vernon and lived in Kamloops, Montreal, and Vancouver. She worked for Ducks Unlimited and retired from Credit Union Central of British Columbia.

Diane enjoyed an active retirement. She volunteered for New Vista Society, for which her genuine friendly nature and natural warmth were appreciated by the residents. Diane enjoyed ten pin bowling, lawn bowling and golfing until her recent decline in health, and she had a wide circle of friends from those activities. Diane was predeceased several years ago by her husband Ernie Agutter, and more recently by her best friend of fifty years Allana Lapointe. Diane is survived by her Aunt Mary Illner of Airdrie, AB, and by her three beloved nephews of whom she was very proud.
