Neighbours fed up with party house Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Neighbours of a North Burnaby house that’s becoming notorious for big, noisy parties were fed up with what they saw as an ineffective police response on Halloween night.

The partying at 6295 Napier St. first appeared on the radars of local residents a little over a month ago, according to one neighbour who didn’t want his name published.

It culminated in a giant bash on Halloween.

“There was litter and a hell of a lot of noise and drinking … It spread out all over the lawns, including all the way down to my house,” the neighbour said. “They were standing around drinking and firing off fireworks and using the bushes for places to go to the bathroom.”

No one was wearing a mask, the neighbour said, but a police officer at the scene told him no one was fined.

“I’m a little fed up,” the neighbour said. “He told me he could have given them a $2,300 ticket for having more than 50 people in a dwelling.”

The neighbour said he has talked to three fellow

Napier Street residents about the Halloween shindig and “they were not happy with seeing hundreds of people out there.”

Napier Street is a “highend neighbourhood” with houses worth about “$2 million a pop,” according to the neighbour, and the street had been “absolutely quiet” until about a month before Halloween, he said.

“Police are not enforcing the law,” he said.

Two young men who

answered the door at 6295 Napier St. told the NOW they were SFU football players “from the States.”

“I think the only reason it got crazy (that night) is ’cause it was Halloween,” said one of the men. “We didn’t expect it, but a lot of people came.We thought a lot of people weren’t going to come.We didn’t expect it to get crazy like that.”

He said the only time things had gotten noisy during the previous two

parties was when people left.

“I kept trying to tell people to keep it down when they’re outside,” he said.

He confirmed police hadn’t issued any tickets and the party ended with everyone being asked leave.

“That was, like, our last party for a long time,” he said. “I think we kind of pissed the neighbours off.

We didn’t expect it.”

Police had been called

to the house three times in six weeks, according to spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj. He said officers who respond to complaints of parties pass on the cases to the detachment’s community programs section for followup.

Police also encourage complainants to contact the city’s bylaw enforcement office. Kalanj confirmed no tickets had been issued in relation to the Halloween bash.

Coyote found dragging a leg-hold trap cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Anyone with information about an illegal leghold trap that a conservation officer pried off a Burnaby coyote’s leg last month is being urged to contact the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.

The coyote was spotted in the area of Ninth Avenue and Willard Street in South Burnaby on Oct. 19 at about 10 a.m. and then again a couple hours later, according to a post

Woman allegedly attacked on SkyTrain Cornelia Naylor

WILDLIFE

Cornelia Naylor

CRIME

on Reddit.

The post said the animal was dragging the trap along on its back leg.

The SPCA and COS were contacted, according to the post, but the SPCA was “completely unresponsive” and COS said it would “pass the info on.”

Burnaby RCMP was called at about 7:53 p.m. that night, but the coyote wasn’t caught until two days later, according to spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj.

He said a conservation

officer and local Mountie managed to catch it with an animal-control pole (a long pole with a noose at one end) at about 10:50 a.m. in the 6000 block of Ninth Avenue.

“They caught it, held it down, took the trap off and released it so it could live the rest of its life without a trap on its leg,” Kalanj said.

An email from a COS communications coordinator said the coyote was “fully mobile upon release” and the service has

gotten no reports of any coyotes in distressed or injured in the area since.

“The foothold trap that was removed from the coyote was found to be improperly anchored, and thus the coyote was able to dislodge the trap from whatever it was attached to,” stated the email. “If anyone has information regarding who unlawfully set the trap, it can be reported to the COS Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline at 1-877952-7277.”

The COS has received 51 coyote reports in Burnaby so far this year. It got an average of 65 such calls between 2016 and 2020.

The service reminded residents to avoid feeding animals either directly or with improperly secured garbage, pet or bird food.

“Coyotes start posing a risk to people when they lose their wariness and become comfortable around humans,” stated the email.

“This is usually a result of direct or indirect feeding by humans.”

A 19-year-old woman and 25-year-old man are facing charges in relation to an alleged attack on a woman who confronted them about not wearing masks on a SkyTrain in Burnaby in September.

Both suspects are “known to police,” according to Metro Vancouver Transit Police, and both are from Burnaby.

The woman faces a charge of assault causing bodily harm, and the man faces a charge of assault.The charges are related to an alleged encounter on Sept. 20.

A woman was on a SkyTrain travelling through Burnaby when she noticed a man and a woman were sitting close to her without masks on, according to a transit police news release.

The woman asked them if they had masks to wear, to which they replied “What’s it to you?” according to the release.

The female suspect then got up and allegedly knocked the woman to the ground, the release said. Both suspects then allegedly hit the victim while she was on the ground before leaving the train at Metrotown station, according to transit police.

Investigators sifted through security footage, and an officer with the crime suppression team recognized the pair, according to transit police spokesperson Const.

MikeYake.

The woman was arrested on Sept. 23 and the man was arrested on Oct. 19. Both have since been released on conditions, including not contacting their alleged victim.

CityConnect NEW STRATEGY TO ENHANCE BURNABY’S TREE CANOPY The City of Burnaby is creating an Urban Forest Management Strategy, which will fortify the city’s incredible forest canopy for the benefit of all residents.

Trees play a crucial role in fighting climate change. They improve air quality, cool the air, beautify our surroundings and reduce energy costs. Yet our trees face challenges from climate change, urban development, diseases and invasive pests.

Today, more than 25% of our city is parks and protected green space. To protect, preserve and expand the forest canopy in the city and ensure a greener, climate-resilient future for all of us, the strategy will outline a clear, long-term, sustainable approach to managing our urban forest, including setting an annual planting program to reach our canopy target.

CHECK OUT THE DESIGN FOR NEW CAMERON COMMUNITY CENTRE

The City is replacing the aging Cameron Community Centre and Library with a modern and functional facility that will become the civic heart of Lougheed Town Centre. The current facility at 9523 Cameron Street has served northeast Burnaby for nearly 40 years but is no longer adequate as the surrounding area has grown and evolved. Based on community input received over the past two years, we have developed designs for a bright new centre to better meet the needs of the area’s growing and changing population.

Burnaby residents and current and future Cameron Community Centre and Library users are invited to share their feedback on the proposed new design.

Join us for a Virtual Open House Wednesday, November 24, 6-7pm Thursday, November 25, 6-7pm

Today, parks and protected green space make up 25% of our city.

Join us online for a presentation and an opportunity to ask questions to the project team. Register before 4pm on the day of the workshop.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan hits big BC NDP milestone

Last week was cause for both celebration and deep concern for B.C. Premier John Horgan.

The week began with his announcement that he had throat cancer and it ended with him becoming the longest-serving NDP premier in B.C. history.

One development is decidedly unwanted, while the other marks an enviable milestone. In this column, I will examine both.

Despite the cancer finding, Horgan is still a busy premier, albeit out of the public eye. He is doing many things (such as addressing caucus or cabinet) virtually or via the phone.

He remains optimistic about his situation, which is characteristic of him.

“My prognosis is good and I expect to make a full recovery,” he said in announcing the news.

We texted each other and he said he considers his cancer “a bump along the road.”Then he added: “I have had many bumps and am better for the journey.”

His optimism and positivity is genuine. I can say that with some authority, having known him for more than 25 years.

When he begins radiation treatment, he may slow down a bit, but we are entering the time of year when government operations (as in cabinet and committee work) also begin to slow down. I will not be surprised to see him back at the legislature full-time in the NewYear.

As for breaking the record for service as an NDP premier, who saw that coming back before the 2017 election that would end up with him moving into the premier’s office?

He had already served longer than Dave Barrett, Glen Clark, Dan Miller and Ujjal Dosanjh and last week he bested Mike Harcourt’s length of term.

Barrett brought in visionary and lasting legislation (establishing ICBC and the Agriculture Land Commission are just two of many accomplishments). Harcourt’s legacy includes his government’s expansion of provincial parkland and its overhaul of forestry practices.

Clark’s term was cut short by scandal, while Miller and Dosanjh were not in office long enough to establish legacies.

Horgan’s list of accomplishments so far include the enshrinement into law of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (which has far-reaching implications), an overhaul of the auto insurance system, and leading the province through an extraordinary pandemic.

He also led his party to majority government status with it making historical breakthroughs by winning seats in places like Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley. He has altered the electoral map in ways seldom seen before.

Horgan is not done yet, by any means. I am sure he is itching to get things going again when his radiation treatment ends towards the end of December.

His government finds itself dealing with some political bush fires – deferring a huge amount of old growth timber from being logged and overhauling the funding model for autism treatment are just two recent ones – and there is no doubt his leadership will be needed internally in dealing with them.

He defied expectations when he turned an uncertain election outcome in 2017 into a minority government.

I suspect he will defy his throat cancer as well. I wish him all the best.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Oakalla staff admit mistake

Staff at Oakalla prison admitted they made a mistake when they escorted a protective-custody inmate through an area for general population prisoners on his way to a court appearance.The man had been put in a high-risk wing because staff suspected him of planning a prison break, but general population inmates wrongly identified him as a “skinner” or child molester because he was in protective custody. He said he was beaten up on his way to court, and a director who investigated the case confirmed he should have been taken another way.

Opinionnow Halloween fireworks and garbage are out of control in our city

Pay for washroom use

Editor: Well, another Halloween has come and gone with fireworks echoing over the Burnaby landscape.

I’ve always enjoyed the light shows in the sky, but, once again, the few people that disregard common sense ruin it for everyone.

I do have a dog that is terrified of the racket and have to drug him to get through the times when fireworks and firecrackers are set off.

On Halloween night, it went on for hours until well after midnight, and it’s heartbreaking to see an animal in such distress, but I suppose that people who do something illegal don’t have much sympathy for that.

Also, this morning, I took a garbage bag out to George McLean Park because I knew that there would be garbage left; people like that seem to think someone else will pick up after them. I collected two big garbage bags of leftover garbage from their “fun.”

In the great scheme of things, this is not an earth-shattering problem, but, once again, it is indicative of how our community has deteriorated over time, and it is regrettable.

Kathryn Webb, Burnaby

Editor: Re: TransLink says it’s too broke to open Metrotown SkyTrain washrooms, NOW News Do like they do in Sweden, Germany and France and charge for the public washrooms.

Farmers markets in California also required a coin to open bathroom stall doors. Some variation of that. If you can spend $4 on a coffee, you can spend money on using the loo. Some washroom sites are owned by the attendants who stay at the washroom and keep it clean.

Transit is unpleasant

Editor: (I read a story about how) Vancouver needs to step up its climate plan to reach the goals set for 2030 and mentions public transit as one of the measures it’s going forward with.

But one only has to take a short scroll through Facebook to see daily posts how transit has failed them yet again; buses not showing up, or photos of people doing disgusting things, and then there’s the weekly news about assaults on transit, or people without masks.

More and more, I see how people are posting that they are giving up on transit and buying a car. Great job, TransLink – you have made transit the most unpleasant way to travel.

Home for the holidays: Why you should buy local this season Halloween has spirited away, and the holidays will soon be upon us.

Heights merchants are already working on making sure local shoppers have the goods and services they need to get ready for all the festivities.

With the strain, uncertainty and economic impact of the pandemic, keeping it local during the holiday season and supporting your local businesses has never been so important. Here

are a few reasons why.

SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY Shopping and eating locally goes far beyond what you think. According to B.C. Buy Local, for every $100 spent with a B.C. local business, $63 is recirculated back into our B.C. economy, versus the $14 for multinational corporations. Your local Heights business will spend your money on other local suppliers and vendors.

The online giants will defi-

nitely not.

FIND UNIQUE AND CREATIVE GIFTS You can always find the most unique gifts from a local gift shop, boutique or specialty store. For example, here in the Heights, you can find vinyl records from Hooked on Phono (4251 Hastings St.), handmade goodies from local artisans at Muckabout Gift Gallery (4759 Hastings St.) and L’Atelier Sandie Bell (3908 Hastings St.), vintage de-

cor from Moi Vintage (4132 Hastings St.), one-of-a-kind jewelry from Moonstone (4287 Hastings St.) and Metropoli Jewellers (4068 Hastings St.), and captivating books and rare literary pieces from Companion Books (4094 Hastings St.) or Brown’s Books (3740 Hastings St.).

FUN AND BETTER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE Because of the wide range of shops found in the Heights, the shopping ex-

perience is the biggest perk of them all. Shopping locally means that the customer service experience is personalized by passionate store owners and staff. Unlike big box stores and online giants, half of Heights merchants live in the community and are committed to you and the neighbourhood.

You’ll feel like part of the family as you search for that one-of-a-kind gift.

Communitynow River Basin Days features family orienteering workshop Knowing where you’re going is an important life skill to have, and the Fraser River Discovery Centre wants to help ensure people don’t get lost.

“There’s no better place to do that than in beautiful Central Park in Burnaby,” said Stephen Bruyneel, the centre’s director of external relations and development, in an announcement.

The one-hour workshop will help participants gain a basic understanding of map reading and compass use, practising skills on the 1.25-kilometre orienteering course.

Pre-registration for the event is required and can be completed at www.

We will offer practical tips like fit notes and flag potential online shopping pitfalls (like long shipping waits, surprise duty charges and scammy

Instagram ads). All of the items we recommend will go through several rounds of “is this worth it?” debate and be held to the highest standard (which doesn’t necessarily mean the highest price point).

We are not an algorithm and we don’t have any stake in the products we select, although we may receive a small commission for purchases you make—all which goes back into supporting our newsrooms to continue to tell great stories about our communities.

One of Burnaby’s newest luxury developments has buyers talking, rave reviews A rare find, SIENA – the heights, reaches a new level of uncompromising design in condo living

T

residences befriend one another, share a glass of vino together and bond over their common generational interests.

his year more than ever, you’re likely dialed into a more focused approach on what you value and what makes you happy. As a discerning homebuyer, you want something distinctive that feels more like a house that will enrich your life, and still, embody how you live and see yourself.

These realities have resonated with homebuyers who have discovered SIENA – the heights, a new sophisticated collection of spacious one, two, and two-bedroom plus den and flex condominium homes, overlooking Burnaby Mountain and the North Shore.

Located in the heart of North Burnaby’s lively and diverse community-centric core, the development comprises 38 spacious and masterfully designed residences, envisioned and developed by I4 Property Group.

Forward-thinking and refined luxury are blended with contemporary quality design and careful craftsmanship with ingenuity—a hotel-inspired lobby, offers an elegant first impression.

The level of meticulous consideration of architectural features and interior finishes throughout are not overlooked, as one astute buyer pointed out, “It’s an elevation of class, and it’s clear that every small detail has been thought of.”

“Buyers and nonbuyers are really impressed by the product—it’s what they’d expect to find in more of a luxury high-rise building,” acknowledges Myron Calof, president of I4 Property Group.

Exceptional buyer experience In the presentation centre, expect expert insight I4PG In-House Sales Staff. Calof credits his team for “knowing SIENA inside and out.”

Spacious interiors, consciously curated

Eye-catching architecture

“They’re awestruck by the quality of the finishes,” adds Calof. “The quality of the work, the selections, everything from the beautiful spa-inspired ensuites with the floating cabinetry, to the countertops, which are continuous quartz under the cabinets.”

Calof explains how a brief drive along East Hastings reveals some new and contemporary properties, but a lot of sameness, nothing with classic character, nothing distinguishing one from another.

Large family-sized chef kitchens—easily transform into the home’s collective hub—have room for counter stools so people can gather, dine and socialize. They’re replete with fullsized Bosch appliances for epicurean delights.

The laundry feature is a functional standout, available in some of the one and two-bedroom homes. Calof is quick to divulge: “Buyers are seeing a number of features considered special and unique in the presentation centre, like the side-by-side laundry, for example, and a large countertop for sorting.”

“These features are especially appealing to homeowners who are going to be selling their homes and downsizing—and considering a move into a strata building—they’re thinking, this is finished a lot like my home, which makes it really comfortable, and unique to a condominium development.”

“However, our building is attention-grabbing, its exterior is elegant,” he says. “The amount of stonework we’ve incorporated in the building, the ambient lighting on the building, expansive terraces, and just off the lobby, the community piazza out front; a lot of care has been taken in those common areas.”

“This means a lot to people who are making a considerable investment. They want to know they’re moving into an address of distinction, both architecturally and locationally, and I think we’re getting a lot of good feedback.”

Another satisfied buyer shares his sentiments on how I4PG has shown their dedication to building to elevate and enhance the local community: “It’s clear that your I4PG team

has put together something special and unique for this community.”

A rooftop garden patio and barbeque plays to the wonderful social vibe expected, where

“I think buyers today want to be well informed. They are interested in the details that encompass some of the technologies, the materials, their durability,” he says.

For instance, our staff is equipped to confidently speak on the home’s smart control, A/C and centralized heat and other home features giving buyers an in-depth look into their future home.

“We’re getting great feedback from buyers on the whole sales experience, and it has been very positive.”

A gratified buyer sums up their experience:

“It has been a delight meeting and working with you (I4PG). You have made, thus far, my parent’s transition from home to apartment a breeze.”

Specializing in urban infill sites, I4 Property Group delivers full-cycle real estate development with the highest degree of excellence. SIENA’s project team includes SUVA Architecture Inc., House of Bohn, and Peak Construction Group. Estimated project completion is fall 2024.

Classic in Character. Uncompromising in Design. SIENA- the heights is an incomparable collection of spacious one- and two-bedroom+den & flex homes in the heart of historic Burnaby Heights. Combining comfort and luxury, SIENA offers a renewed sense of arrival, marking all that you have achieved and everything still to come.

Five reasons why an E-Bike makes the perfect Christmas gift I

Functional, fashionable and fun, these bikes are a joy to ride

n the 16 years that Bella Huang has lived in Canada, she has noticed a change in the weather.

“Every year, we’re getting stranger weather, which is a direct result of climate change,” she says.

She was inspired to start her business, Victorian EBike, to promote healthier commuting options that are better for the environment. The locally-owned and operated business is located on Byrne road, and even offers online sales.

“It’s my responsibility as a Canadian to protect our environment. I had my kids here, and I want to make Canada better for them. And we can all help by doing little things,” she says.

“Our mission is to get people to go green. We aren’t just selling e-bikes, we are doing something for society.”

Huang worked in the e-bike industry for two years prior to opening Victorian EBike, which has been in business for just over one year now, opening initially only to sell various brands of e-bikes. After selling hundreds of bicycles and seeing what works and doesn’t, Huang decided to launch their own inhouse brand.

“We have industry experience, so we upgraded all the parts to our own brand, making them more premium,” Huang says.

What makes Victorian EBike so good? Here are five reasons why these e-bikes should be at the top of your Christmas list this year.

1. Safety comes first

“Safety is always the first concern for us,” Huang says.

Victorian Ebikes have all been upgraded to hydraulic brakes from traditional cable brakes. The hydraulic brakes are longer lasting and less prone to breakage.

Huang also took into account the roughness of Canadian roads, providing thicker, puncture-resistant tires. This means you’re less likely to get a flat or spin out of control when faced with rough roads.

2. Premium features

High-quality name brand batteries such as Panasonic and Samsung are used in Victorian Ebikes to make the battery last longer and provide 55 to 65 kilometres of range per charge.

Upgraded foam cushion seats provide extra comfort, and high-quality pedals ensure a smooth ride.

The e-bikes are also designed to look more fashionable, with integrated rims that catch people’s eyes.

3. Ongoing support

Victorian Ebike provides unmatched after-care service and complete warranty service.

You’ll get a personal saddle fitting before you even purchase your bike, and, a free yearly check-up with a professional bike technician once you do.

“We want to make sure your bike is in good condition to ride, and it’s as safe as possible,” Huang says.

If you need repair work done to your bike, Victorian EBike will offer you a complimentary replacement bike to ride until yours is returned.

4. Reasonably priced

Prices for Victorian Ebikes range from $1,300 to $2,700, which is a bargain compared to similar products on the market.

“They look, drive and feel very expensive, but we make them more affordable without sacrificing quality because we want more people to ride e-bikes to reduce carbon emissions and help the environment,” Huang says.

“We guarantee the quality is the same as similar products. We always guarantee quality. If there’s any problem with the bike, our customers can always bring them back.” Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming Black Friday sale, which will provide a discount on the already well-priced bikes.

5. Lots of style options

Find the e-bike that’s perfect for you in a variety of colours and sizes. Victorian EBike makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, so you never have to compromise on style.

The company is also working on upcoming designer collaborations and customization options to offer even more styles to choose from.

Now is the right time to snag that perfect Christmas gift for a loved one. Huang recommends ordering before Nov. 25 to ensure the present is ready to be under the tree come Christmas morning.

Artsnow Deer Lake Craft Festival returns to Shadbolt Centre Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

It’s been a staple of the holiday season in Burnaby for 50 years – and the Deer Lake Craft Festival is returning in style this month after a one-year hiatus.

The Burnaby Arts Council’s annual holiday market was forced to take a year off in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it’s back for 2021 – and holiday shoppers can get ready to hit the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Nov. 19 to 21.

JasmineWu, interim executive director of the arts council, said it’s “superexciting” for organizers, vendors and community members alike. Once word went out that the event was coming back this year, she said, artisans couldn’t

wait to get involved again.

“We had all our past vendors who were really eager to come back and meet the community again after a whole year of not being able to interact in person,” she said.

She said artisans and makers have been drawn to the chance to connect with their customers faceto-face instead of in a virtual format, as they had to last year. And, she said, the artisans are also pleased to see each other again, since many of the vendors have returned together year after year.

“There’s lots to catch up on,”Wu noted.

As always, she said, the fair will include an array of different artisan offerings.

“We have jewelry, we have wood carving, we have ceramic pottery, apparel, some food – a pretty wide variety,” she said.

Be there What: Deer Lake Craft Festival When: Friday, Nov. 19; Saturday, Nov. 20; Sunday, Nov. 21. Market open Friday noon to 5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., Burnaby Cost: Free admission.

COVID-19 protocols: Capacity restrictions in place. Proof of vaccination required. Masks required.

This year’s event will be a bit smaller than the last full outing in 2019, with about 40 vendors lined up right now.

“That’s mostly so we can allow for enough spacing between them, and so that people, visitors as well,

can have some space for distance, for safety,”Wu explained, noting the fair will take place in the same three rooms as usual at the Shadbolt Centre.

The arts council’s raffle and silent auction fundraiser is also back, and there will be live performances throughout the weekend. (The exact lineup is still being set, but watch the arts council’s website at www. burnabyartscouncil.org for full details soon.)

For COVID-19 safety purposes, there won’t be any hands-on activities like the kids’ crafts or cookie decorating that have happened in past years.

But there will be a nice addition for those who want to make a day of it: two local food trucks that will park outside and offer up lunch and dinner for

shoppers.

And, for those who are still feeling tentative about returning to live events, Wu stressed there will be a full COVID-19 health and safety plan in place.

Proof of vaccination and masks will be required, as per public health orders.

There will also be capacity restrictions in place, so visitors may run into line-

ups at the door should the venue already be full.

Admission to the fair will be free, as usual.

“We look forward to supporting local businesses again,”Wu said. “The holiday season is the perfect time to check out what the Burnaby community has been working on.”

There’s half-off admission after 5 p.m.
