Process unfair, says group Renters should have been consulted first in Metrotown redevelopment By Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A housing advocacy group is criticizing the City of Burnaby’s public consultation process around its Metrotown development plan update, calling it “inadequate” and “ill-conceived.” Members of B.C.’s Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) voiced their concerns at a press conference on Monday. At issue is the plan, which has existed since 1977, and if updated, could see a number of buildings in the Metrotown area demolished to make way for new highrises (also known as demovictions). ACORN is arguing the first phase of the public consultation process, which started in June and wraps up today, did Continued on page 4

Fate of bears in city residents’ hands

Mother bear and cubs feeding on fruit trees, food waste and roaming around Burnaby Lake By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The fate of a mother bear and her cubs foraging near Burnaby Lake will depend on how well residents in the area secure their food waste and other attractants. “The biggest thing to make sure that they’re not going to get to that place

where they have to be trapped and destroyed is to just make sure that everyone’s doing their part in controlling attractants,” conservation officer Shawn McNaughton told the NOW. He said the sow and cubs have been on the B.C. Conservation Officer Service’s radar since late July, after a

number of reports the bears were getting into backyards in the area between Lougheed Highway and the west end of Burnaby Lake. After setting a trap and talking to neighbours about controlling attractants, however, encounters with the bruins appeared to taper off. “I kind of got some of the main attractant under con-

trol,” McNaughton said. “There were a few properties that were having trouble.There was one large fruit tree in a backyard as well as a few people just weren’t securing their garbage.They just had them by the side of their house.” But the bears made a reappearance last Thursday. Caroline Stokes encoun-

tered them as she and her nine-year-old son were driving near the end of Piper Drive ready to take a walk around Burnaby Lake. “Just as I was about to turn around the roundabout thing right at the bottom of Piper, the bears ran out,” she said. “The mother bear stopped and then charged at the car. Fortunately it didn’t

do much else.” After the bears wandered away, Stokes and her son got out and warned people to get out of the area. “There was a lot of people, a lot of people playing Pokémon GO,” she said. “I don’t know how they missed it.” Continued on page 10

Evicted and ‘there’s nowhere to go’ Low-income Burnaby mother and son shown the door after residing in Burnaby housing complex for nearly two decades By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby woman is scrambling to find accommodation after she and her son were given four weeks to move out of their townhouse, a place they’ve called home for the last 16 years. Lee Parker, a resident of B.C. Housing complex Lions Mulberry Place, told the NOW the property manager notified her on July 27 that she’d have one month to relocate. Parker said it came as a complete surprise and that she has a few suspicions as to why she’s been told to leave. About four days before receiving the notice, her unit had caught fire after her son left a candle unattended in his room. The damage was minor, she said, with only his room severely impacted. “The fire was accidental,” said Parker, who makes ends meet with a job at Value Village. “I was talking to the property manager the day of the fire. He was comforting me. It happened on Saturday, and the following Wednesday, I found out there was an eviction notice on my place.” The single mother, who claimed she’s been a good tenant over the years and has been late with rent may-

be twice, also suspects the property manager, David McLean, isn’t a fan of her 15-year-old boy Josh. “He doesn’t like my son,” she said, adding Josh isn’t handling the situation well and feels responsible about what happened. “I tried to talk to him about my son, how he was upset. He was being very unsympathetic. He wanted my son off the property.” McLean, meanwhile, couldn’t divulge too much about why he gave Parker the notice because the matter has gone to arbitration (tenants have 10 days after they’re served to apply for dispute resolution with the Residential Tenancy Branch). “That’s the tenant’s opinion,” he said, noting there were “many events” that led up to his decision. He was quick to point out the notice for cause Parker received is different than an eviction notice. The former is for when a tenant has violated their residential tenancy agreement and the latter is for missing a rent payment or a security deposit. According to Parker’s notice, she “seriously jeopardized the health or safety or lawful right of another occupant or the landlord” and put the landlord’s property at significant risk,

McLean did acknowledge Parker has been a good tenant, and he’s helping her by keeping her belongings in the unit while she finds a new place. But Parker is fearful she may have to sleep on the streets. She’s been staying with her elderly mother in New Westminster but has been

more. “I don’t know what to do. I’m putting her in jeopardy.There’s nowhere to go. All my family lives in Manitoba.You call shelters every day, and none can be found for a single mom with a teenage boy.” Parker is also scared that with a notice to end tenancy on her file, it’ll limit who she can rent from. “I’m sorry.What do I need to do to make this

right?” she asked. “I don’t party, I don’t drink. My son, he’s a boy, and he’s a teenager. I’m not denying (he) hasn’t done stupid things, but not to the extent people need to be afraid of him or what he’s capable of doing. How am I going to get my son to leave the only home he’s ever known?” FOLLOW THIS STORY ON

Councillor says more must be done for renters NickVolkow says city should revisit its tenants’ assistance policy and see if enough compensation is paid

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

One Burnaby city councillor was singing a different tune this week, calling on the city and developers to do more to help displaced renters. Nick Volkow urged his fellow councillors to consider revisiting the city’s tenants’ assistance policy

during a discussion regarding Polygon Development’s proposed redevelopment of several lots in the Metrotown area, on Dunblane and Marlborough avenues. On the table is a 38-storey apartment building plus street-oriented townhouses. If approved, seven existing buildings on the sites would be torn down to make way for the new tower and town-

homes. In its proposal, the developer has included a plan where tenants would get at least three months’ notice to vacate and three months’ rent as compensation to help cover moving costs, which is in line with the city’s own policy. Any tenants who’ve lived in the buildings for three or more years would be offered the

following additional compensation: $600 per year for three to five years of residency; $800 per year for six to 10 years of residency; and $1,000 per year for 11 or more years of residency, according to a staff report. Volkow, however, questioned if that’s really enough, considering some developers are willing to pay much more than ask-

ing price to buy property in the city. “When I look around I see various developers who have absolutely no problem offering four or five times the assessed value,” he said. “They seem to have no problem coming up with millions of dollars to secure a property.” Volkow asked staff to return before the scheduled

Sept. 20 public hearing with information on current rents paid by tenants of the buildings and what developers are actually offering them when tenants are given their eviction notice. “We might be a little too generous to the development community when it comes to what we’re expecting,”Volkow said.

Consultation was inadequate, residents say

Continued from page 1 not prioritize the some 8,000 people who could face displacement or homelessness. Rather than give Burnaby’s entire population an equal say in the changes, those who will bear the brunt of it should have been consulted first, according to ACORN member Murray Martin. “I live in Edmonds, so I don’t think I should have equal say to someone who is facing displacement,” he said. Another point of contention is that the consultation process was too short. Martin said gathering feedback during the summer months was “ill-timed.” “People aren’t generally paying attention to things like this.They’re busy with other activities, their kids are out of school and they’ve got other concerns.We would expect a plan on this scale to have a consultation period of at least two years,” he explained. The onus was on individuals to find out about the city’s proposed changes, added Martin. He said

ACORN knocked on 250 doors in the Metrotown neighbourhood throughout August, but not a single person knew about the plan update. The housing advocates also say the consultation process has been discriminatory against people who speak English as a second language and low-income tenants.The survey was only available in English, and the

translation services that were offered were “ineffective” and “inaccessible.” Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the community development committee, responded to the criticisms. In regards to the consultation process not prioritizing Metrotown residents, she said it’s important to invite the whole community to participate.

“This is a 40-year horizon we’re talking about, to make this our downtown centre. It’s a citywide process,” she said. As for gathering public input during the summer months, she said staff have been active in the community. “We have gone out.We’ve done, I believe, three presentations at the neighbourhood house.We’ve done presentations at the library. It’s not just about going online and doing the survey. Our staff have been meeting with residents and meeting with concerned groups,” the councillor said. Jordan added there will be many other opportunities for residents to have a say, noting it’s still early in the process and the project will have to go to a public hearing before it gets approved. Phase 2 of the public consultation process, which starts in the fall, will focus on a draft of the plan. Jordan said an information package will be sent out to every household around that time. Michael Blais, a resident

of 6420 Silver Ave., also spoke at the press conference, sharing his demoviction story. In June, he was forced to move from Coquitlam to Burnaby after his home was scheduled to be bulldozed Blais said he never heard about a public consultation process prior to being told to move. “Nobody seemed to

know.When you’re not informed as to the scale of the problem, you can’t plan ahead.You’re denied the opportunity to voice your concerns before you’re already displaced,” he told the media. With that same fate looming, Blais said he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to stay in the Lower Mainland. “We’d like to start a family

here, but with the unstable housing situation, not knowing how much rent is going to be, we’ve had to put our lives on hold.We may have to retreat further into the Interior, even go as far as move in with my parents inVernon,” he said. “Surely our communities need to be a place for us to be able to live, not just a vehicle for profit.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Don’t blame ICBC for our bad driving Provincial elections serve the same function for politicians that Santa Claus serves for young children. There’s no better guarantor of scrupulous behaviour than the reminder someone is watching. Less than a week after the B.C. Liberals released their first campaign commercial, the government refrained from collecting its customary $160-million dividend from ICBC.

We hope to one day understand why forgoing the dividend is a bad idea in nonelection years. B.C.’s insurance provider is planning to raise annual rates by $42; partly due to ICBC’s dismal investment portfolio and the higher cost of fixing newer cars. But the biggest reason we’re paying more is because there were 40,000 more crashes in 2015 than in 2013.

... there were 40,000 more crashes in 2015 than in 2013 ... While we raised our eyebrows when Transportation Minister Todd Stone claimed B.C.’s “growing economy” is responsible for the uptick in collisions, his point about the dangers of distracted driving is well taken.

Our phones have gotten smarter. We haven’t. About 25 per cent of fatalities on the road are related to distracted driving. We also exhibit selfish habits like running yellow lights, darting between

lanes, speeding and otherwise driving like jerks. Drivers have somehow begun to believe that nofault insurance means that there are no penalties. The fact is that there are penalties, not only for the individual driver in increased premiums but also for all of the rest of the drivers in B.C. If the province is serious about reducing the number of costly collisions, the best

thing they can do is reduce the number of people on the roads by investing in transit infrastructure (not holding it hostage to a referendum). There’s plenty of blame to go around for the state of ICBC. The fault is in our cars, in ourselves and in Victoria. – Guest editorial from the North Shore News

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

PNE is worth supporting When it comes to job creation, governments at all levels love to point to various infrastructure projects that cost billions of dollars and do indeed create a lot of jobs. But there’s an annual event inVancouver that may not be viewed as a job creation vehicle, even though it has created hundreds of thousands of jobs over time and has injected a huge amount of money into the local economy. I’m referring, of course, to the Pacific National Exhibition and its annual fair, which is currently underway. I’ve written before about the importance of the PNE and how it is a tradition that we must hang onto, not simply because it’s a fun entertainment forum, but also because of its importance to the economy and because it creates a sense of community we are in danger of losing. The fact the annual fair has lasted this long is impressive and, in some ways, surprising. After all, it is a bit of an anachronism, a throwback to an era where life was enjoyed at a more leisurely pace. But the average attendance over the past 10 years has hovered around 800,000 people (it fell off significantly last year, largely due to lousy weather), which speaks to its popularity. The economic numbers are impressive: about 3,600 direct employees (this number swells to more than 9,000 when you include exhibitors and concession-

aires). And the fair generates about $58 million in economic activity and contributes about $25 million in taxes. But perhaps the PNE’s biggest economic impact is on young people. About 2,000 of those 3,600 employees are youth, and they are paid comparatively well (they also make more money working the fair than they do working regular jobs because many work longer days and compile a nice pile of cash to start the school year). At some point, however, the PNE’s future may end up in the hands of government. It is the only major fair in North America that does not receive a government subsidy, and one has to wonder whether that may have to be revisited. Changing weather patterns has the PNE management considering changing the fair’s dates.This is potentially problematic, as any change could impact other local fairs, particularly ones with agricultural components. But the fact changing the date is even being considered shows the serious challenges the PNE faces. It would be irresponsible for any government to let this grand institution falter in any way. In the meantime, support one of the more fun, and regular, job creation projects in B.C. It’s been going strong for more than 100 years, so go visit the fair!

If you’re running a business, pay taxes

Dear Editor What does Frank Norman mean when he states that Airbnb should be promoted, not taxed? (Inbox, Burnaby NOW, July 27). Airbnb is already being promoted through the organization Airbnb, as well as listings on Craigslist, so let’s call this what it is, a business, and as a business, any revenue derived from this activity should be taxed in two ways. First by insuring the owner of these businesses has a business licence – that is required for all businesses. Secondly, there needs to be checks and balances in place to ensure that the individual owners of these properties are declaring this income on their tax returns, which is required by the Income Tax Act. Why should these property owners be permitted to operate what amounts to a hotel business and be able to get away with doing so, in the underground economy, which is a huge problem in this country? Not only is Airbnb a business but in many cases it is displacing legitimate renters and replacing those long-term renters with short-term guests, commanding premium rates, which I’m sure many of these property owners are just pocketing and not declaring as income. In a market where affordable rental stock is dwindling, let’s call Airbnb what it really is, greed. If this is what these property owners want to do with their properties, then do it legally, by first checking to see if their neighborhood is properly zoned, then applying for a business licence to operate a hospitality business, and after that is done legally, pay taxes on that income. Wayne McQueen, Burnaby

B.C. residents deserve the least-risk option Dear Editor Billions have been spent to develop the tar sands but, sadly, little independent science is available about spilled bitumen in water. Ask our Canadian pipeline industry. (Recall the Enbridge 2010 Kalamazoo, Michigan incident and the recent Husky Energy North Saskatchewan River “boo-boo.”) Like it or not, pipelines and tankers are about as safe as they can be. The B.C. public must be offered the least-risk option. The B.C. public sees the need and value of exporting our resources via our coastal waters. OK, Mr. Prime Minister, it’s time now to offer your promised, science-supported “pipeline mediation” counsel – and let a West Coast bitumen pipeline be born! Carl Shalansky, by email

Blogger questions if cursive is obsolete BT Hathaway I realize that education needs standards which make room for the kinds of disabilities which might hamper the learning of cursive writing. Yet handwriting is a wonder and an aid worthy of continued focus for the vast majority of students. I don’t have pretty handwriting, but having the capacity to quickly jot my thoughts in a notebook has proved immensely helpful. Keyboarding can be very limiting, especially in creative pursuits. Developing dexterity in children matters. Perhaps we can compromise with forms of digital writing. Edda Manley One of the big disadvantages with teaching only printing is that children who cannot write in cursive also are unable to read anything written in cursive. Believe me, all the better quality private schools and most home school children are taught cursive handwriting

I’ve used the Metrotown library at least five times a week this year. The poor trees that are cemented in are all dying of thirst. The leaves are brown and they are all tilting over from not being watered. Have some council members come and taken a look and see who is in charge here? - Resident ANSWER: I asked Dave Ellenwood, director of parks, recreation and cultural services, about the trees planted at the Metrotown library branch. “Those are deciduous trees, they’re not irrigated by the automated irrigation

system that we have.Those trees are planted on top of the underground parking lot, so it’s not a great, big depth of soil.They’re get-

There will always be trees in there and we’ll look after them.

ting older, the trees, their life span probably won’t be beyond the next five or 10 years, but they may appear dead. Because they don’t have a lot of soil depth, they dry up pretty quick-

ly.They’re not dead, they’re just dry.” Do you water them? “In the drier weather we’ll probably have a drip bag or some trickle watering system we can put out, but it’s not a dire situation. “There will always be trees in there and we’ll look after them. “We’re not neglecting them.When those trees come out, we’ll probably put in a more drought resistant species variety so they don’t look as bad.” Ellenwood also noted the trees were planted by the contractor who did the landscaping when the library was built.

City now Burnaby MLA won’t run again

Hearing Aid Sales Event

School trustee Katrina Chen plans to seek nomination for NDP Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

School trustee Katrina Chen has announced she’s interested in putting her name forward as a candidate in the BurnabyLougheed riding for the 2017 provincial election, and Jane Shin, the sitting MLA, has announced she won’t run again. The two broke the news via Facebook, and neither was available for comment at deadline. “It has been an incredible honour to serve the people of Burnaby-Lougheed,” Shin said in an Aug. 25 post. She plans to return to her previous career, teaching in post-secondary. “Holding public office as an MLA has been a great honour and has taught me so much. I look forward to taking that back with me to better serve our next gener-

ation in the classroom,” the statement reads. Shin was the first Korean MLA elected in B.C., but her campaign was mired in controversy over her medical credentials. On Tuesday, Chen announced on Facebook that she’s interested in seeking the nomination. Chen has worked in the office of Raj Chouhan, NDP MLA for Burnaby-Edmonds, and she currently works as MP Peter Julian’s constituency assistant. Chen was in Taiwan at press time and unavailable for an interview. The NDP has not yet approved a date for the nomination meeting. No other New Democrat has declared interest in the Burnaby-Lougheed riding at this point, according to the party. Chen has to secure approval from the party’s provincial executive before she can seek the nomination.

Citynow Residents need to become bear aware Continued from page 1 After trying to warn a few non-English speakers of the danger, Stokes believes there should multi-language bear warning signs in the park. “They were walking right towards the bears,” she said. Stokes reported the encounter to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service immediately, but she doesn’t want the bears removed or put down. “I don’t want that to happen. I think we need to respect that they are here,” she said. She said there should be more awareness about bears and that people should avoid parks during peak bear season. “I think there needs to be a no-human zone or something,” she said. Reports of bear-human encounters are up overall this year, according to B.C. Conservation Officer Service Sgt.Todd Hunter, and the service is working with the City of Burnaby on solutions. “We’re doing as much as we can here,” he said, “but

we do need bylaws and we do need people in Burnaby to not leave their garbage cans outside of their residence with food waste in them. ...They can’t always just rely on us to make it safe for their communities. There’s not a lot of things we can do for these bears. People think that we can just move these things and that the problem’s gone. That’s not the case.” So far the mother bear and cubs near Burnaby Lake haven’t shown troubling signs of aggression, according to McNaughton, and the mother’s gesture towards Stokes’s care was likely a bluff charge to warn people away from her cubs. But the conservation service will reassess the situation as calls come in. “Right now we’re hoping to just manage,” McNaughton said. “We’re hoping that we can keep everyone at a point where they’re securing their attractants properly and these bears are just going to kind of do their own thing, but really everyone has to do their part for that to be a possibility.”

PATIO COVERS ADVANTAGE ALUMINUM

Be bear aware: A mother bear and two cubs walk near a building at the end of Piper Drive near Burnaby Lake Thursday. Conservation officers are reminding residents that everyone has a role to play in keeping bears safe by ensuring that no food waste is available to attract bears to residential areas.

Japanese festival coming this weekend Organizers expect record-breaking attendance for fourth annual Nikkei Matsuri in Burnaby Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

One of the largest Japanese-Canadian festivals in Western Canada returns to the Nikkei Centre on Labour Day weekend. The fourth annual Nikkei Matsuri is on Sept. 3 and 4, and organizers are expecting a record-breaking attendance. “It’s grown exponentially,” Roger Lemire, executive director of the Nikkei National Museum and

Cultural Centre, told the NOW. “The first year we had 8,000 people. Annually, we get between 11,000 and 12,000. It seems to grow by a couple thousand every year.” The two-day event features a host of activities for the whole family.There will be martial arts demonstrations, a Japanese tea ceremony and a variety of performances, including two shows by singerYuki Maeda, who will be flying from Japan for the occasion. Back

by popular demand is the talent show. Former winner A.C. Bonifacio of hiphop group Lucky Aces went on to appear on the The Ellen Show. For the youngsters, there’s the kids’ zone, which will have plenty to keep them busy.There’s a Hello Kitty sand picture workshop, balloon twisting, face painting and more. In the garden, attendees can watch the carrying of the Mikoshi portable shrine, Bon-odori dancing

around theYagura tower or simply sit back with a cold one in the beer garden. As for grub, there will be 20 food vendors onsite (we recommend the Japanese pancakes). New this year is an autograph session by the Vancouver Whitecaps’ Japanese striker, Masato Kudo, who was signed to the team last December. He’ll be meeting with fans on Sept. 4 between noon and 1 p.m. Lemire told the NOW the Nikkei Centre started the event back in 2013 because there wasn’t much going on in terms of a Japanese family festival. It’s a very popu-

lar occurrence in Japan.Traditionally, it’s a ceremony to thank, pray and commemorate the gods, ancestors and Buddha. “We’ve touched a nerve. We just went down that

It was a nice way to end the summer season road and it was a nice way to end the summer season,” he said. “Interestingly enough, it’s very multicultural, being here in

Burnaby. It garners the attention of the ethnicities that are in this area.” The biggest challenge to date, according to Lemire, has been the festival’s growth. Should attendance continue to spike in the years to come, he might have to look at street closures. “I hope we never have to do that. It creates such a neat synergy with the facility we have here,” he said. For more information, check out the website at nikkeimatsuri.nikkeiplace. org.

CARING FOR SENIORS IN BURNABY

New program launched for immigrant seniors The B.C. Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support is teaming up with Burnaby Community Services for a new program that helps immigrant seniors deal with social isolation and language barriers. The program is for newcomers to Canada who are 50 or older. “A big part of the approach for this project is for seniors to get to know each other and build mutual support, so even past these

workshops they can become friends and consider how it is they want to stay connected to the community,” said Lin Chen, the centre’s workshop coordinator. The program will run every Friday for six weeks, from Sept. 30 to Nov. 4 at the Brentwood Community Resource Centre, at 2055 Rosser Ave. Seniors can meet with other older adults, learn about community resources and problems facing seniors.

The program focuses on how immigrant seniors can connect with each other. A part of doing that involves

There is a lot of need and concerns immigrant seniors have ...

being familiar with services and resources already available in the community, Chen explained. Social isolation and language barriers are the two most pressing problems immigrant seniors face, according to Chen. “There is a lot of need and concerns immigrant seniors have that are not directly addressed in a mutually supportive environment, so through these sessions, it’s a chance for immigrant

seniors to get together and feel that they are not alone,” she said. “I think a big piece is not just to build upon and enhance their knowledge of social isolation and possible elder abuse as well, but to likely make new friends and to really be empowered on how they can help themselves or help the people they care about.” There will be interpretation available, depending on who signs up and what languages they speak.

Participants must attend all six sessions; no drop-ins. For more information, or to register, contact Lin Chen at 604-688-1927 ext. 225. The B.C. Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support is based inVancouver. Burnaby Community Services is hosting the program, offering space and some staff support. – Jennifer Moreau

Artsnow When myth meets history Myth meets history and fiction in a new exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery. Keith Langergraber: Betrayal at Babylon is set to run at the gallery from Sept. 9 to Oct. 23, with an opening reception on Thursday, Sept. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. The new installation by the mixed-media artist reinterprets the biblical Tower of Babel as a western mine and ghost town. “The show incorporates a series of large-scale mixed media works on paper, scraps of handwritten journal entries, detailed drawings of fossils and relics, and

maps of natural terrain and settlements,” a press release notes. “Investigating the impermanence of language and the complexity of human myth-making, the exhibition merges historical and fictionalized narratives set in British Columbia and beyond.” For the project, Langergraber worked with Carl Alexander, an elder from the Xwisten Indian Band in Lillooet, to explore traditional place names and provide an account of the impact of industry – dams, forestry, mining and the railroad – in the region.

eorge Lee came to Canada from China as a student, completed a law degree and started his own sole proprietorship law practice in 2002. Since that time, George Lee Law Corporation has grown to include four lawyers and a full support team that boasts a long, successful track record of assisting immigrants and investors from Asia through a full spectrum of legal issues. Over the years, George Lee Law Corporation has been listed as the Best Chinese Law Firm in Vancouver and voted as Top 10 Best for Family Law, Immigration Law and Criminal Defense in Burnaby, BC on Yelp.ca. It was also voted as Top 3 “Best Immigration Lawyers in Burnaby, BC” on ThreeBestRate.ca. In 2016, George Lee Law Corporation was awarded the Most Innovative Law Firm in Canada by the Acquisition International Magazine based in U.K., and won the ACQ Global Awards 2016 for Canada (BC) Regional Family Law Firm of the Year and Canada (BC) Regional Immigration Law Firm of the Year. “Three important factors differentiate us from other practices in Burnaby,” George says. “First, we are located in the community, not downtown. Second, we speak a variety of languages including

English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean. And third, we devise flat rate legal fee arrangements.” George explains that the last point is important, because Asian clients are unfamiliar with the hourly fee rate structure prevalent in Canada. “The hourly rate system has been passed along from the British legal system,” George says. “Clients in general and Asian people, in particular, don’t like it. They like the certainty of knowing what their legal fees are going to be.” George Lee Law Corporation works in the areas of immigration, conveyancing, and family law, in addition to other general legal issues.

Precision Dance Academy HOW TO SAVE ON SCHOOL SUPPLIES Back to school season can be as expensive for parents as it is exciting for students. Once the initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many kids are excited to return to school, where they can see their friends, study their favorite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities. Parents of school-aged youngsters may share in that excitement while also knowing that back to school season can stretch their budgets. One of the ways to salvage those budgets is to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways parents can do just that.

Be patient. Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won’t need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school season hits full swing.

Take inventory. If you have more than one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house. Dust off kids’ backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you already have. Going forward, encourage kids to store their supplies in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year’s inventory that much easier to examine and assess.

Spend more now to save later. While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won’t withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement supplies. Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the initial pill is somewhat tough to swallow.

Use technology to your advantage. Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing. But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advantage when shopping for school supplies. Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so your phone essentially notifies you of any discounts the moment you walk into a given store. If you don’t receive any updates, search for discounts via the app or the Internet as you shop. Chances are strong that there are deals to be had, even if you don’t learn of the deals until you arrive at the store.

Senior Knights to turn football into ART form

St.Thomas More replenishes talent pool with strong group of Grade 11s and a new offensive coordinator Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Football, except in a few instances, is not considered among the fine arts. Sure, some running backs and wide receivers can weave, glide and stretch like Mikhail Baryshnikov, but more likely they barrel and bash their way like renegades from a stampeding herd. Well, the St.Thomas More Knights this year are all about the ART. That is assignment, responsibility and technique. Knights head coach Bernie Kully’s biggest addition this year isn’t in the form of a hotshot Grade 10 or 11 talent – although he does have his share. His biggest addition is new offensive coordinator Denis Kelly, already a legendary skipper on the B.C. High School gridiron ranks. “Getting (Kelly) was a huge pick-up, no doubt,” said Kully. “There was some recruiting, by coaches and parents, but in the

end it was just a great fit for everyone.” Kelly, the founder and head coach of the W.J. Mouat football program for 28 years, has taken on the OC role, replacing longtime STM coach Joe Adams, who has moved to St. Patrick’s as a vice-principal. One of Kelly’s first implementations was the ART process. “We have always emphasized the philosophy of process vs. outcome at STM since I have been around the program back in 1989 and coach Kelly’s ideas really mesh well with that concept,” said Kully. “Work as best as you can each rep and let your effort dictate your success.” With a young team, the Knights are primed for molding and shaping as a challenger in the 3A Eastern Conference – where the competition includes potential No. 1-ranked Terry Fox and Mouat. “We are a very young team this year with the majority of our team comprising a solid group of grade 11s and a small veteran group of grade 12s,” noted Kully.

Kelly, who spent last year as an assistant at Simon Fraser University after retiring as a teacher, has brought in a new offensive system and spent a lot of time already with senior starting quarterback Kolby Buljevic. “Kolby is a great leader and has shown a great deal of desire to be our leader at the QB position under (our) new offensive coordinator system. He has spent the off season learning all he could about the nuances of a very complex system under the tutelage of coach Kelly.” Another key returnee is Grade 11 running back and defensive end Tyler Eckert, who as a Gr. 10 demonstrated strong skills and big-play capability, having tied for the league lead in QB sacks with 13. “(Eckert) is very coachable, always wants to learn more while working hard all the while (and) always finishing first in conditioning,” said Kully. “He is explosive and I think he will be a surprise performer this year.” Filling the fullback role is Grade 11 Joel

Pielak, who at 5-foot-9 and 185-pounds casts a stocky shadow. Anchoring the defensive side of things will be free safety David Osho and returning seniors Anthony Prpic, a strong safety, and linebacker Devon Hayek. Last year’s 6-2 regular season mark got them into the provincial quarterfinals, where the season came to a halt in a disappointing 27-13 to New Westminster. And while the upheaval and turnover from last year’s lineup is considerable – the likes of veteran standouts Luca Bellini, Ben Steele, Demarius Henderson and Landon Jackson have all moved on – the ranks of the returnees and incoming juniors are encouraging, said Kully. “I think you assess as you progress, and thus far we’re quite happy how the players have come prepared to compete in camp,” he noted. “It all fits in with our process vs. outcoming focus.” The Knights launch the 2016 senior season on Sept. 9 against Notre Dame.

If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember. Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad. Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment. If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.

BURNABY NORTH ROAD North Road in Burnaby has a lot to boast about. Besides being home to the largest Korean shopping district in the Lower Mainland, it is a multi-cultural melting pot of ethnic cuisine that promises to tantalize all the senses. Discover the diversity of this North Road Burnaby neighbourhood through a culinary tour of your own. “North Road really offers a plethora of fabulous restaurants … it truly is dine around the world,” says Carolyn Orazietti, executive director of the Burnaby North Road BIA. “We have 25 great eateries along our strip.” Explore the area and you’re sure to discover a wide selection of things to eat; from a famous White Spot hamburger to award-winning sushi, to Thai Chef for tasty curry to Hanna’s pancake cart for a sweet bean cake. “The White Spot features vintage 1950s car hop service,” she adds. Locals and visitors alike flock to Yan’s Garden Restaurant – renowned as a hidden culinary gem. Owner/chef Dan Cheuk trained under master chefs in different styled dim sum kitchens, transforming old school dim sum into new adaptations that keep customers coming back for more. In addition, don’t forget the North Road Centre Mall (dubbed the Blue Roof Building by locals), for some spectacular Korean dishes. “If people want to experience everything Korean they really should head to North Road Burnaby,” she adds. Want to try crafting your very own signature Korean dishes? At Han Nam Supermarket find everything you need - this popular shopping destination gets rave reviews for its high quality authentic Korean fare. If you crave Persian cuisine, the district has it too! Donair Ville - considered one of the finest restaurants offering authentic Turkish cuisine and coffee in North America - is run by third generation award-winning Persian chef Hamid. Dine-in or take-out, and catering is available. “The food here is fantastic and the music and ambience are great as well,” adds Orazietti. Around for nearly two decades, Japolo Sushi guarantees fresh, innovative sushi that will have you begging for more.

Chef/Owner Jackie Japolo Sushi
