‘A collective sigh of relief’ for housing co-ops Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

It was a win for co-operative housing on Monday (July 11), with the purchase of 425 units of affordable co-op housing in Burnaby.

A $162-million deal between the province, the City of Burnaby and the Community Land Trust of B.C. (CLT) has ensured that three towers of Burnaby co-op housing will remain as such.

As land leases ended on

the two properties housing the towers at 9380 and 9390 Cardston Crt. and 4221 Mayberry St., there was concern that the previous landowner, the Operating Engineers’ Pension Plan (OEPP), Local 115, would sell the

land to a private developer.

The province stepped in, with BC Housing providing $132.6 million in financing to the CLT for the purchase of the co-op buildings.

The City of Burnaby

purchased the Mayberry Street property for $29.8 million and will lease it to the CLT, the non-profit social-purpose real estate arm of the Co-Operative Housing Federation, “for a nominal fee for 60 years,” according to

SFU gondola rises on TransLink priorities list Transit authority also commits to double bus service with dedicated bus lanes and new routes to Metrotown Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

The TransLink Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation approved a 10-year priorities plan on June 30 that includes the gondola to Simon Fraser University.

The plan would see the gondola built in the next five years.

Having the gondola included in the transit authority’s 10-year priorities is crucial for the project to succeed, according to David Cooper, a principal at Leading Mobility, who has worked on long-range transit projects across Canada, including with TransLink.

With the 10-year plan approved,TransLink can go to the federal and provincial governments and lay out the case for funding, Cooper said.

EN ROUTE: TransLink’s 10-year priorities have been approved, including a five-year commitment to the SFU gondola project. PHOTO TRANSLINK

He said TransLink has been “wildly successful” in delivering on its past 10year plans compared to

other transit authorities in Canada, noting the funding for the Broadway subway extension in Vancou-

ver and rapid transit south of the Fraser were funded out of the 10-year transit plan produced in 2014.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE SFU GONDOLA Pre-pandemic, there were 25,000 daily trips

made up and down Burnaby Mountain by the SFU and UniverCity communities.

TransLink’s ridership modelling estimates that about 3,100 passengers per hour per direction would travel on the gondola by 2035.

The gondola would replace the 145 bus, which currently operates every five minutes during peak periods and moves about 1,000 passengers an hour, according to a 2021 TransLink report.

The transit authority says operating a gondola would cost about 30 per cent less than bus service.

The gondola project will cost an estimated $210 million to build, with an annual operating cost of $5.6 million.

Woman lays claim to dogs seized in puppy-killing case

Hanieh Kaldi says Pomeranians are her ‘babies,’ but the SPCA says the dogs have already been adopted out Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

An Ontario woman laying claim to two Pomeranians seized by police in an alleged Burnaby puppykilling case is heartbroken and wants the dogs back.

Burnaby RCMP said they got a report on May 24 from a person saying they had bought a Pomeranian puppy from a man who was now killing other puppies.

The investigation led to the arrest of a 28-yearold man in the Brentwood area that same night, according to Burnaby RCMP. Pouya Sadri, of no fixed address, has since been

charged with one count of killing an animal.

Two adult dogs and four puppies were seized by police and turned over to the Burnaby SPCA after Sadri’s arrest, according to the RCMP. After publishing a story about the case on June 16, the NOW got a series of emails from someone identifying herself as Hanieh Kaldi.

AToronto resident, she said she had been in a sixyear common law relationship with Sadri, and the dogs — a male called Bonzai and a female called Luna — were hers.

The relationship ended badly after a “fierce fight,” she said, and a court order

barred her from contacting him.

“So I need leave my everything plus my babies (dogs) and leave the house,” she wrote in an email.

After the breakup, Kaldi said she travelled toTurkey to visit family for the first time in six years.

When she got back, she said she looked for an animal-friendly apartment, so she could take her dogs back.

She has since learned about Sadri’s charges and that he took the dogs to the Lower Mainland.

“I don’t care about Pouya and his courts; I just worry about my babies,” Kaldi wrote.

Removed: Bonzai, a four-yearold Pomeranian male, was seized by police in an alleged puppy-killing case in Burnaby.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

She said she’s not a breeder and wanted to get Luna spayed, but she has been told she won’t be get-

ting the Pomeranians back.

“I don’t have any ideas where are my babies,” she said.

Burnaby SPCA manager Nicole McBain said she has talked to Kaldi, but, by the time Kaldi contacted her, the legal time requirement for holding the dogs had expired.

“She did not come forward during that time,” McBain said. “We’d already placed them into homes.”

While there are cases where the SPCA will reach out to the new owners and see if they are willing to give up the animals, McBain said they didn’t do that for the Pomeranians because of the particular

circumstances of the case, including the fact the dogs had been seized by police and that Kaldi lives in Ontario.

McBain added there was no identification proving Kaldi’s ownership. One of the dogs had a microchip, according to McBain, but it did not trace back to Kaldi.

“We were working from a standpoint of protecting the puppies,” McBain said.

Sadri was released on May 25 on several conditions, including an order not to “own, have contact with, have the custody or control of or reside in the same premises of an animal or bird.”

Continued from page 1 said Mayor Mike Hurley, adding that expanding coop housing in Burnaby is a priority for the city.

The housing co-op associations, Post 83 Co-operative Housing Association at Mayberry and 115 Place Co-operative Housing Association at Cardston, will continue to manage the buildings.

Brian Cochrane, chair of the OEPP, said he was pleased that the agreement preserves affordable housing while also meeting the needs of the pension plan.

“This sale will support our members’ retirement, now and in the future,”

Cochrane said. “One of our priorities through this process has been to ensure residents of Mayberry and Cardston Court would continue to have affordable homes.”

The three buildings on the two properties primarily house seniors and low-income residents.

“Our members have been incredibly distressed about the land-lease expiration and not knowing the future of our home,” said Deb Tom, co-op president of Post 83 Co-op.

“When I finally got the go-ahead … to deliver the news that our property was sold and our home was in good hands, there

“Residents will continue to have the opportunity, that everyone deserves, to stay in their community, close to their friends, close to their families and close to services that they know and depend on,” said Anne Kang, MLA for BurnabyDeer Lake.

“We are forever in your debt for saving our homes.

Without you, we don’t know where this may have ended,” said Sue Menard, co-op president of 115 Place.

There are 26 housing co-operatives in Burnaby.

Snap vote could help Horgan’s successor

The early departure of John Horgan as B.C. premier raises the very real possibility that the next provincial election will be called well before the Oct. 19, 2024 date that is currently scheduled.

Horgan’s successor (who appears almost certainly to be current Attorney General David Eby) may find it tempting to call an early vote rather than try to govern for two more years without facing the electorate.

Those two years will likely see a string of controversies and hot-button issues begin to accumulate.

Rising inflation, a deteriorating health-care system, high housing costs and various weather disasters are going to make governing increasingly difficult for anyone.

On top of that, Eby (assuming he becomes the next leader) will find himself under pressure from various activist wings of the BC NDP to abandon Horgan’s “progressive centrism” approach and embrace a more left-wing, environmental activist direction.

Some of that pressure may come from members of his own caucus.

NorthVancouver Lonsdale MLA Bowinn Ma recently posted a multi-part thread onTwitter in which she insisted the next NDP leader had to be what she called a “Climate Champion.”

And she defined that as a leader who will agree that “addressing #ClimateEmergency is a moral imperative, who will take an unambiguous stance against the expansion of fossil fuel extraction, including LNG [liquefied natural gas], and end measures designed to incentivize the industry.”

Ma, who is a cabinet minister of state for Infrastructure, appears to oppose a key part of her government’s economic plan: the LNG industry.

Ma is certainly not alone among New Democrats who want a more aggressive approach when it comes to fighting climate change. Others want a complete ban on the logging of all old-growth timber, a move that would bring the B.C. forest industry to its knees.

Still others want a ban on fracking (used to extract natural gas), an even higher carbon tax and more action taken against resource industries.

Will Eby be able to stand up to the pressure coming from what undoubtedly will be a much louder protest wing of his party?

Horgan was able to keep the environmental movement at bay throughout his time as premier. Unlike his predecessors of NDP governments in the 1990s, he was not panicked by large demonstrations aimed at government policies.

Pulling the plug early and securing a new fouryear mandate would further silence those internal critics, and drive a dagger through the heart of a still shaky BC Liberal Party.

An early election call would also put the BC Liberals at a disadvantage in an important area: money.The party is not fundraising at anywhere near the same pace as the NDP, which has about a two-to-one edge and which is financially poised to run a much better-funded election campaign.

Of course, perhaps Eby will want to steer the government in a completely different direction, one that is closer to those environmental activist positions.

We shall see.

In any event, do not rule out an early election.The next NDP premier may want to dive head-first into the election pool well before the waters get too roiled and choppy, which they undoubtedly will.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Residents want snakes evicted

A clause in theVilla Montecito strata development’s bylaws was meant to protect dogs over 20 pounds, not eight-foot boa constrictors.That was the argument from one resident after it came to light two large snakes had been living in the complex for years.The boas, Reggie and Bridget, had moved in five months before the strata adopted the bylaw, which stipulated only “common household pets” were allowed. After residents found out about the snakes, 81 of them signed a petition demanding the council ban snakes from the complex.

Opinionnow Tower plan defies logic Editor: Burnaby council’s decision to relocate required rental units from planned towers at the Austin-Gatineau site to another site already occupied by hundreds of units of low-income rental housing is beyond reason.

They want to demolish units that shelter many new immigrants, including refugees, university students and other people that are struggling in today’s economic conditions, just to do a “favour” for the developer. Boo-hoo.

Essentially, the rents in the new development will be doubled, and they want to create a shortcut from Lougheed Highway to Government Road that would see traffic increase substantially through a neighborhood that doesn’t even a have legal-width road and that will run through an extremely busy park with many children running around.

Recently, while I was driving up Cardston Avenue, three children ran into the street right in front of my car. Luckily I drive slow and am aware, but with drivers looking for a shortcut during rush hour, this situation could be very deadly.

Kudos to councillors Jordan and Johnston for having common sense.

I expected more from councillors Gu and Keithley, and the mayor, considering the

platform that got him voted in.

Trans-CanadaTrail is not a garbage dump Editor: Someone cheap enough to avoid taking his or her junk to the dump sneaked to the end of the lane on the Trans Canada Trail at the east side of Capitol Hill and left a deposit for someone else, undoubtedly the City of Burnaby, to clean up.

This is not an uncommon event — it happens several times a year. Please remind readers to be responsible citizens. It’s not just the eyesore left for us as residents but the idea that it’s OK to use the trail as a public dump that is so abhorrent. Their mothers would not be proud of them for being so selfish and irresponsible.

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police have released video and photos of the suspect vehicle in a daylight shooting in Burnaby last week.

On July 4 at about 11:20 a.m., Burnaby RCMP got reports of an injured person near Patterson Avenue and Hurst Street, close to the Ocean View cemetery.

When officers arrived, they found a 59-year-old man with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, according to police.

Investigators believe the incident was targeted, and police have now released surveillance video of a suspect vehicle, a 2020 Kia Forte.

The video was cap-

tured in the area of Patterson Avenue and Hurst Street before the shooting, and police are asking for help from the public to get more dashcam video to assist in the investigation.

Investigators are looking for dashcam video from the area bordered by Patterson Avenue, Imperial Street, Frederick Avenue and Rumble Street between 10:45 a.m. and 11:20 a.m.

They are also hoping to get dashcam video captured along Willingdon Avenue or Patterson Avenue as well as along Dawson Street between 11:15 a.m. and 11:40 a.m.

“We believe dashcam footage from these specific times and areas may assist us in this investigation and in tracking the movements

of the suspect vehicle and anyone associated to it,” Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in the release. “We are urging anyone who was in the area at those times who may have dashcam footage to contact our investigators.”

The 59-year-old man is continuing to recover, according to police.

Police have not identified the victim, but the Vancouver Sun has reported he is Ronaldo Lising, a full-patch member of the Hells Angels.

Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP’s dedicated tip line at 604-646-9511.

To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or solvecrime.ca.

Mirrorball art event shines at Brentwood

Check out new public art installation and pose for a photo with mirrored walls and 290 disco balls Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

Step off the SkyTrain at Brentwood Town Centre and be met with a fountain adorned with piles and piles of disco balls.

Welcome to Mirrorball: this summer’s public art installation at the Amazing Brentwood.

Seven different installations around Brentwood’s Skybridge and outdoor plaza showcase a kaleidoscope of reflective art.

It’s an Instagrammers’ delight.

The team at the Amazing Brentwood invited local influencers to tour the installations.

One content creator making use of the new public art was Lydia Okello of Style is Style.

They noted while it’s nice to have spots to make content, public art installations also offer artists access to large sites that artists might not otherwise have the chance to work in.

“I think (it’s) a really great way to combine a lot of different creative practices, so that the artists get to feature their work in that space,” they said.

They noted that public art is free to experience.

“Something that’s so exciting is it’s actually for everyone. And I mean, when I was upstairs ... I saw lit-

tle kids playing on the disco-ball bridge,” they said.

“It’s just really great to have things that bring joy and bring happiness, that don’t cost anything or have a financial barrier.”

There are 50 disco balls at the plaza’s fountain, and two “hanging clusters” of 240 disco balls are artfully arranged on the mall’s Sk-

ybridge. Other installations feature 21 feet of mirrored ceiling panels.

Mirrorball is an installation based on reflection, celebrating the “joy and exuberance of summer 2022,” according to Lennie Eulalia, marketing director at the Amazing Brentwood.

“We’re very excited to

continue introducing new and fun things for the Burnaby community,” she said.

Eulalia said influencers offer a chance to educate the wider community on what Brentwood is about.

“People don’t quite know what we have to offer yet, so being able to partner with some of these

When asked if they had any tips on how to enjoy public art around town, Okello exclaimed: “Just go!”

Community now School district wins award for restoration project $22-million renovation of Burnaby’s 108-year-old Schou Street School earns nod from Heritage BC

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

You might think moving out of a 64-year-old administrative building and into a 108-year-old one would be a step backward for Burnaby school district staff — but not if the older building has undergone an award-winning, $22-million renovation.

District staff moved into their new digs at the old Schou Street School site in November after bidding adieu to their 1958 headquarters at 5325 Kincaid St. In May, the new administrative complex won an award from Heritage BC for the structural restoration of the old elementary school and for the way it has brought together the past and future with a new,

nearly 17,000-square-foot addition.

“We’re just super thrilled. I think it just kind of validates everything that we set out to do,” secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill told the NOW. “We had this amazing structure that we thought we could put back into the state that it was, and to do it in the way that wins the award was pretty validating for sure.”

LONG TIME COMING Efforts to secure a new headquarters for the school district had been afoot for at least a decade before the district announced the Schou Street School plan in 2018.

The scheme saw the district sell its Kincaid property to fund the restoration of the 1914 school and the

construction of an addition. (The province funds the construction of new schools but not administrative buildings.)

The result is a unique new school district office with 28,481 square feet of

space.

“We went from a building that had one decentsized meeting room and two small ones to having 11,” secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill said.

“And it was designed in a

way that would allow us to grow without having to expand the building.”

The focus of the restoration was the outside of the building, starting with a conservation plan prepared by heritage consul-

tants Donald Luxton & Associates, who scoured the archives and the building itself for heritage components to preserve.

That included digging beneath the school’s stucco crust.

Originally, the Arts & Crafts style building had been covered in cedar-shingle cladding, likely stained, dark-blue bevelled siding and buff trim. All those features have been restored.

The windows have also been restored to their original look, but now they hold insulating double panes of glass, to dampen noise and make the building more energy-efficient.

The old school’s distinctive front entry porch and stairs have been restored Continued on page 17

Community now Students scoop up scholarships Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district’s Class of ’22 has earned a total of $6.8 million in scholarships and bursaries this year.

The awards range from a few hundred dollars to $100,000.

“Every dollar helps students achieve their post-secondary dreams,” states a school district news release.

The biggest award winners at local public schools include École Moscrop Secondary grad Anna Muyan Li, who earned a $100,000 University ofToronto Engineering International Scholar Award; Burnaby Mountain Secondary grad Sarah Lennon, who earned an

Distinction : From left, Burnaby grads Anna Muyan Li, Sarah Lennon and Ervin Cadiz won scholarships worth $100,000, $80,000 and $70,000 respectively this year. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

$80,000 UBC Centennial Scholars award; and Byrne Creek Community School grad Ervin Cadiz, who scooped up a $70,000TD Scholarship for Community Leadership.

Burnaby Central Secondary graduates earned a number of athletic awards, including three significant women’s soccer scholarships offered to three grads of the Soccer Academy at Central put on in partnership with theVancouver

Whitecaps.

AvaWright and Andrea Kraetzer earned athletic scholarships from Arizona State, while Olivia Ahern got one from the University ofTexas.

And 17 local grads were awarded Beedie Luminaries scholarships of up to $40,000 each for their post-secondary studies: Ð Silin Ali, Cariboo Hill Ð Anson Bao, Burnaby North Ð Immanuel Fasan,

Moscrop Ð Matthew Fung, Moscrop Ð Saudah Gazi, Burnaby South Ð Samantha Harris, Cariboo Hill Ð Insha Majeed, Burnaby Mountain Ð Marlaina Korsa, Burnaby Central Ð Ryan Leung, Byrne Creek Kimberley Lowe, Moscrop Ð Maelle McCallum, Burnaby Mountain Ð Anita Mirshami, Burnaby North Ð Megan Mugford, Burnaby Mountain Ð Masihullah Mohammad Rafi, Burnaby Mountain Ð Ozair Siddiqui, Moscrop Ð DamionTran, Moscrop Ð Richard Zou, Burnaby North

Staircase reinstated to former glory Continued from page 16 but decommissioned as a main entrance.

But the most visible bit of the restoration is probably the old school’s cupola.

It had been removed years ago but has now been rebuilt and replaced.

“It’s really quite a landmark,” Horswill said.

Inside, the 1914 building has been totally modernized and now houses sleek new offices and a boardroom that could start hosting in-person public meetings again in

September.

One nod to the past is the large main staircase that rises up from the original entry way to a large open landing. It had been removed to make room for more classrooms, but it has now been reinstated to all its former glory.

Beside the old building, attached via a new glass atrium with an elevator and feature stairs, is the nearly 17,000-squarefoot addition, which represents about 60 per cent of the district’s new head-

quarters.

Horswill said the goal was to make the new building “supplemental” to the old school in every way, including its colour, roof and orientation.

“It was all intended to

support the heritage building and not dominate it,” he said.

The secretary-treasurer described the new headquarters as a “very high quality construction project.”

Community now Library debuts ‘community living room’ for teens

New space at theTommy Douglas Edmonds branch aims to serve ‘a kaleidoscope of needs and interests’ lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

When the Burnaby Public Library soft-launched its new teen space last month, youth immediately claimed it as their own.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a teen space so instantly used by teens. … I think it goes to show there really was a need for space specifically for teens to use,” said Duncan Olenick, teen services librarian.

A ‘COMMUNITY LIVING ROOM FOR TEENS’ “It’s a space that has a kaleidoscope of functions and serves a kaleidoscope of needs and interests,” said Olenick.

He said the teens made it clear that having a physical space specifically allot-

ted to them made a big difference in their willingness and enthusiasm to engage with the library.

“It’s kind of like a community living room for teens,” he said, noting the space has the ability to change depending on who is using it and how.

He said options for public spaces for teens are limited, especially options for non-commercial spaces.

“This is a space where teens can come, and they don’t have to buy anything to spend time in that space — and that’s unique, that’s a unique service to provide.”

COLLABORATIVE WORK The space has been in the works for the last three years, a joint project with the library and its teen ad-

visory group, made up of youth aged 13-19.

The collaboration has turned an underutilized computer room into a space that’s bright, airy and filled with plants.

Teens can use it like a makerspace: the library has purchased two sewing machines for the room; there will be craft supplies and a Cricut machine for do-ityourself creations.

Youth can brainstorm ideas on a shared whiteboard, then share their art publicly on a large bulletin board.

New tech has also been incorporated into the room: there will be a smart TV with gaming features, and a digital synthesizer with lendable headphones.

In the coming months, Continued on page 21

Community now Burnaby coffee shop La Forêt provided inspiration Continued from page 20 teens will also be able to check out iPads to use.

The space includes a variety of electrical outlets to charge tech.

The teen advisory group informed the library on what teens wanted from the space.

Suggestions for the room’s de-

sign included theming it as a 1950s diner, like the set from the TV show Riverdale.

Other ideas included a skatepark theme, adding a “pink crystal chandelier” or disco ball, or even a floor-to-ceiling, all-black room.

“The all-black colour scheme,

that was controversial,” said Olenick, laughing. “There was a lot of feedback that it doesn’t need to be theatrical, it doesn’t need to be a theme park, it can just be a really calming space where teens can come in and do their own thing.”

The plants came as a response

to the teens’ research into their favourite community spaces. A recurring favourite was iconic, plant-filled Burnaby coffee shop La Forêt.

“People really commented on the lushness of that miniature forest, and how it’s like escapism to go in there,” Olenick said.

The space is adjacent to the young adult section of the library, where there’s a diverse assortment of reads for teens, including in multiple languages.

Teen spaces will also be included in the new Cameron Recreation Centre, as well as the renovated Metrotown library.

A City of Burnaby initiative is now taking applications to rent musical instruments for those who have a passion for music but experience barriers to participation.

Residents can borrow an instrument for up to one year if approved through the city’s recreation credit program, or if they have a written referral from a music teacher, school administrator, youth centre worker or service agency.

The city collected more than 450 instruments from residents through

collection drives, with residents donating instruments including strings, woodwinds, brass, percus-

sion and keyboards.

“Not everyone can afford to get into music, but everyone deserves a chance to learn how to play,” said Coun. Joe Keithley in a news release.

“It’s incredibly fulfilling for people to have a new way of expressing themselves and bringing joy into their lives.”

The city is no longer collecting instrument donations, though it is accepting monetary donations from residents who want to help.To donate, visit www.burnaby.ca/ harmonyforall.

Grants for Burnaby’s music lessons program will begin in fall of 2023.

While summer fun is top of mind for most right now, staff at Burnaby’s city hall are already looking to Halloween and proposing a plan for a new spooky haunted house event atWarner Loat Park.

Tourism Burnaby hopes forVancouver’s Empty Chest Events Society to bring their Halloween festival to Burnaby this year.

The event requires exclusive use of a section of

land to host 10 temporary tents for the “haunted adventure live-action roleplay village,” according to a staff report City staff have recommended a portion of Warner Loat Park, adjacent to Burnaby Lake and surrounded by business parks, to be used for the festival from Oct. 20 to Nov. 1 this year, stating that it’s not a busy park during that time.

The event, geared for people aged 14 and up, has participants interact

with actors in a variety of locations, including a tavern (a beer garden, with proceeds donated to the children’s hospital).

Activities include axethrowing, escape-room puzzles, and the outing “culminates in a battle with monsters using foam arrows,” according to the staff report.

An estimated 200 people would visit the event each night, in groups of four.The event would conclude each night at 10 p.m.

Citynow Condo noise lawsuit dismissed Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby man’s attempt to sue his strata for not doing more to locate the source of loud subwoofery noises, vibrations and thumping in his building has failed at the province’s Civil Resolution Tribunal.

David Wong, the owner of a unit at the Kings Crossing tower near the corner of Edmonds Street and Kingsway, first complained about the noise in January 2021, according to a recent tribunal ruling.

At first,Wong told the manager the noise was coming from a unit next door, but his theory about where the noise was coming from “shifted over time” from the apartment next door, to the one below him, to the one above him, the ruling said.

The noise eventually stopped when his nextdoor neighbour moved out, but by that time Wong had launched a suit against the strata for $4,000 in compensation for the loss of use and enjoyment of his strata lot.

He argued the strata had failed to enforce its bylaw against unreasonable noise.

The strata had sent a bylaw infraction letter to Wong’s neighbour, but that didn’t stop the noise.

To investigate further, the strata had relied on the building’s concierge, who was unable to pinpoint the source of the sounds. “(Mr.Wong) says that it should have become clear that this strategy was not working when the concierge was repeatedly unable to determine the noise’s source,” stated the ruling.

The strata argued Wong’s lawsuit was moot since the noise had stopped when the neighbour moved out, but tribunal member Eric Regehr said Wong’s claim for damages was not moot because Date: Saturday, July 23rd, 2022 Time: 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. it was based on allegations of past harm.

night.

At about 3:20 a.m. on July 3, Mounties in Stonewall, Man. got reports a drone was flying above and into the Stony Mountain Institution, according to an RCMP news release.

A suspicious vehicle was also reported on a backroad near the prison, which is about 24 kilometres north of Winnipeg.

Police located and stopped the suspect vehicle, and an officer spotted a drone on the backseat.

The two men inside the vehicle were arrested.

Meanwhile, a search of the area where the drone had reportedly landed inside the prison turned up a package containing a quantity of methamphetamine and suspected fentanyl.

“SMI employees also reported to have seen a drone and had found a similar package the day before,” stated the release.

Burnaby resident Jalen Falk, 22, and Vancouver resident Shahram Tokhy, 20, were both charged with drug trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime, in relation to the incident.

of the story, according to police.

Three days later, on July 6,Winnipeg police got a call from a Winnipeg Airbnb after the owner found guns and drugs inside the rental.

Officers responded and located firearms and “a large quantity of methamphetamine and other illicit drugs.”

“It was later determined that the Airbnb was being rented by the same two suspects (Shahram Tokhy, Jalen Falk) who never returned due to their recent incarceration,” stated the release.

The pair have now been charged with multiple firearm and drug trafficking offences in relation to that incident as well.

The investigation continues, according to police.

Community now Reading club helps Ukrainian refugee children

Armstrong Elementary teacher Iuliia Sukhina-Volkova hosts weekly reading sessions at two libraries cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Children fleeing the war in Ukraine are getting a little help with English and friendship thanks to a Burnaby teacher who is volunteering her time to put on a weekly reading club.

Forty-two students from 35 families have landed in Burnaby schools since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, according to the district. “(The families) are very upset, very distraught about the situation,” Natalya Khan, coordinator of the district settlement workers in schools (SWIS) program. “They don’t know what to expect.They all know that it’s long, longer than they

expected, so they are trying to process that.”

Iuliia Sukhina-Volkova a Ukrainian-speaking kindergarten and Grade 1 teacher at Armstrong Elementary School read about the refugee families and wondered if there was a way she could help.

She reached out to Khan, and, after some brainstorming, they decided on a reading club.

On Saturdays, Sukhina-Volkova meets with one group of kids at the Cameron library and another at the Tommy Douglas branch.

She reads to the children in English but helps them out in Ukrainian when needed.Then the kids draw pictures, label the drawings, write a couple sentences in English

and share their work with their new friends.

“Some of them don’t have any English yet because they came recently.

They’re very new to Canada,” Sukhina-Volkova said.

Besides English skills, the sessions also work to address another fundamental need: friendship.

“Some of them miss their friends and they want to go back to Ukraine because they miss their friends, so they really really enjoy seeing each other every time when they come,” Sukhina-Volkova said.

At the end of the session, the kids also get a chance to look at books

and pick some to take home.

“The whole idea of this program is to kind of help them to have some kind of bright experience, something that can cheer them up, something that can help them connect and feel welcome here,” Sukhina-Volkova said.

After they’ve dropped

their kids off, the parents also get a chance to connect with others who speak their own language and are going through the same traumatic transition while worrying about events in their home country.

To help with the emotional challenges of their displacement, the SWIS program also brought in a counsellor to present a workshop called “Resilient parent, resilient child.”

Sukhina-Volkova has volunteered to help translate.

Khan said community members have “doubled and tripled their efforts” to help support the refugee families, and the children appear to be “doing well.”

Community now SFU professor looks back on Higgs boson find

On the 10-year anniversary of the so-called ‘God Particle,’ B.C. physicist remembers the scene in Geneva Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

It’s been 10 years since the announcement of the discovery of the Higgs boson particle, and Simon Fraser University’s own professor and particle physicist Michel Vetterli was in Geneva when it happened.

In 2012,Vetterli worked with ATLAS at CERN in Geneva. He said the researchers, some of whom had been working on the project for 20 years, were giddy.

The night before the announcement,Vetterli stopped by the auditorium where the media event would be held.

“There was already a lineup out the door. So I went home, took a shower, called my friend and said,

‘You better get there now, or you’re not getting in.’”

Vetterli staked out a place in line at 4 a.m., waited five hours, and got a coveted spot in the audience.

“It felt like waiting in line for a rock concert,” he said.

Vetterli says it’s still too soon to know what the applications of this knowledge are.

“People often ask me, ‘What good is the Higgs boson going to do, you know, what are we going to get?’ And the answer is, I don’t know because it’s still too early,”Vetterli said.

“But history tells us that all these main, big discoveries in pure science end up having application in everyday life,” he continued, pointing to discoveries like electricity or radio-

activity, that have resulted in technology like medical imaging, CAT scanning and cancer treatments.

What is the so-called

“God particle” — and why do physicists hate that term?

It all starts with subatomic particles.

Vetterli said the goal of nuclear and particle physicists is to find out what the building blocks of matter are.

“If I gave you a big box of Legos to build the world, what would the Legos look like?” he said.

He uses water as an example.

“If you divide up water, and you keep dividing it, it’s still water. But at some point, when you break it up, it’s hydrogen and oxygen,” he said.

“And when you keep breaking those up, you end up with nuclei and protons, and you just keep getting smaller and smaller. And eventually, you get to the point where you can’t break them up anymore — at least we can’t yet. And those are what we call elementary

particles.”

For example: an electron.

“We’ve tried as hard as we can, we can’t break up an electron,” saidVetterli.

Quarks are another elementary particle, which make up the protons and neutrons that make up the nuclei of atoms.

These subatomic particles are fundamental at 10-18 meters (that’s 0.0000000000000000001 metres). Physicists haven’t found particles smaller than that.

Now: the particle accelerator.

This machine smashes subatomic particles together at extremely high speeds to create new particles.

Community now ‘You wouldn’t have matter, you wouldn’t have people’ Continued from page 26 is it pumps a lot of energy into a small space, and it pumps enough energy that mass can be created, and those are new particles.”

It’s Einstein’s E=mc² equation in action, which says mass and energy are equivalent.

“If you pump enough energy into a very small volume, then it can turn into mass,”Vetterli said.

“Where there was nothing before, there’s now a massive particle.”

At CERN in Geneva, the Large Hadron Collider is the particle accelerator that smashed together the energy that created the Higgs boson particle (pronounced bo-zon).

The particle, while highly unusual, isn’t the important discovery in and of itself.

Rather, the particle proves the existence of what’s called the Higgs field — a field that permeates everywhere.

“We’re swimming in a sea of Higgs field. … As subatomic particles move through it, they feel resistance, they interact with it, and that’s what creates mass.”

The interaction between the subatomic particles and the Higgs field is what gives those particles mass.

A common misconception is that the Higgs boson is responsible for all mass. Not quite.

The Higgs field is only responsible for the mass of subatomic particles (like those electrons and quarks).

“But if the subatomic particles had no mass, they’d all be whizzing

Community has expressed concern Continued from page 3 selected route as a direct route from the ProductionWay-University SkyTrain station to a spot near the bus exchange at SFU’s Burnaby campus.The route length is 2.7 kilometres, and the estimated travel time is six minutes (compared with the average bus travel time of 15 minutes).

The route passes directly over the Forest Grove community.

Members of the Forest Grove community have expressed strong concerns about the potential impacts of the gondola, including safety and privacy. Residents of UniverCity at the top of Burnaby Mountain are strongly in support.

“What’s interesting with this project is not a lot of technology has been proven out that it can carry significant amounts of people, like thousands of people an hour, and actually they’re very cheap to build

compared to other technologies,” Cooper said.

“A $200-million project to take 25,000 transit trips (daily) is significant.”

The Burnaby Mountain gondola would use a 3S system, which uses three high-strength, multi-strand steel cables, according to TransLink’s report, the same technology used by the Peak 2 Peak gondola at Whistler Blackcomb.

Cabins would be stored in stations overnight, rather than being left hanging on the line.

With the significant damage due to vandalism at the Sea to Sky gondola,TransLink has suggested security measures like physical barriers, gates and locks to impede access to components of the system; gated towers designed to be “unclimbable,” and maintenance ladders on the insides of towers with lockable doors and equipped with a security system.

around so fast that they’d never be able to agglomerate into things like pro-

tons.You wouldn’t have atoms, you wouldn’t have matter, you wouldn’t have

Christine Sinclair and the Canadian women’s national soccer team will have another chance to shine on the world stage.

The Burnaby legend and the 2020 Olympic-champion squad qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women’sWorld Cup on Friday (July 8) with a 1-0 win over Panama.

The tournament in Australia and New Zealand will be the eighth straight FIFAWomen’s World Cup appearance for Canada, and the sixth for Sinclair across her tenured career in red and white.

Needless to say, the past two years have been some of the best for Sinclair’s career.

Sinclair finally claimed her Olympic gold in Tokyo, when Team Canada upset Sweden in a thrilling shootout.

On Jan. 29, 2020, the

Burnaby product made world history when she scored international goal number 185, surpassing the previous all-time leader AbbyWambach of the United States.

Since then, as of this publication, Sinclair has upped her total to 190 goals and 53 assists in 312 matches with Canada.

Canada has only made

it out of the group stage three times at the FIFA Women’sWorld Cup (2003, 2015 and 2019).

The best finish at the tournament was fourth in 2003 in the U.S. When Canada was a host country in 2015, the women reached the quarter-finals and were eliminated in a 2-1 loss to England.

Sports now Burnaby boy, 10, headed to BMX championships

Leonardo Leavy is the No. 1 boys BMX racer in Canada and is slated to compete internationally in France Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s own Leonardo Leavy is the No. 1 boys BMX racer in Canada, and now he’s taking his racing skills to the BMX World Championships in France.

He’ll be competing with 120 other 10-yearold boys from all over the world for the top spot.

Leonardo, who goes by Leo, will have to win multiple qualifying rounds to make the main event where he can compete for a podium finish.

“I’m pretty stoked,” he told the NOW. “I was pretty excited, definitely nervous, because it’s a lot of riders, but hopefully I’ll make it.”

Leo qualified for the competition in 2020 and 2021, but both times couldn’t attend due to the pandemic.

Leo said his favourite part of the sport is the teamwork mixed with competition.

“It’s such a fun sport; you can hang out with your friends and you’re on a team, but … you can also race them.”

When asked his favourite part of BMX racing, his answer is clear: “Probably winning.”

But he and his mom took care to mention he doesn’t win every race.

“It’s such a fun sport; you can hang out with your friends and you’re on a team, but … you can also race them.”

Top competitor: Leonardo Leavy, 10, at the top of the podium for the race he won to qualify for the 2022 BMX World Championships in France PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

When he doesn’t win, he said, he congratulates his competitors, tries again and trains harder.

Six years of BMX racing The 10-year-old, who is going into Grade 5 at Buckingham Elementary in September, has been

racing since he was four.

The interest in BMX racing started after he saw a race on the North Shore.

He practices at the Burnaby Mountain Skills Park and at other BMX parks in the Lower Mainland.

He trains under coaches

Ryan Tougas, who was on the Canadian Next-Gen national team and is training for the Olympics, and former B.C. Lions football player Casey Chin.

He said his success so far feels like an accomplishment, but he knows it doesn’t come easily.

“It feels like you definitely have to work for it because the other competitors are just right behind you,” he said.

At the end of a race, with the finish line in sight, Leo said he gets a feeling of satisfaction and excitement.

“I just get that push to get over the line,” he said.

And when he’s over the line?

“Yeah, it’s like I’m done my race, and I can just chill now,” he said, laughing.

More than 30 Canadian riders will head out to France for the championships. Leo is the only rider from Burnaby.

“We would love to see a lot more Burnaby kids out there on BMX bikes and representing our amazing city,” said Leo’s mom Paola Leavy.

The two note that BMX racing is an Olympic sport.

The 2022 UCI BMX World Championships will be held July 26 to 31 in Nantes, France. Leo’s race is on July 27.
