A CARRIAGE HOUSE

Fire hits heritage building

Structure was used to store local Scouts equipment for close to 40 years

SAD

Deer Lake residents Paris and Marco Romanelli survey the damage to the Fairacres carriage house, a 1911 heritage building on Deer Lake Parkway that went up in flames early Friday morning. “It’s just sad,” Paris said. When the couple saw construction fencing around the building during a walk on Monday, Paris said she thought they were doing maintenance on the building until she got close and saw the charred roof and walls. Fire officials suspect the blaze was sparked by an electrical problem.

Recent electrical work may have been to blame for a fire that tore through a 1911 building near the Burnaby Art Gallery early Friday morning. Fire crews were called to the Fairacres carriage house, built in 1911 as part of the Ceperley Estate, shortly after 7 a.m., according to assistant fire Chief Brian Kirk. On arrival, they found flames showing from the back of the building, which stands right across Deer Lake Parkway from the Burnaby RCMP detachment. “They were right through the roof by the time they got there,” Kirk said of the flames. An aggressive attack saved the building from complete destruction, according to the assistant fire Chief. “That was good, but unfortunately, when you put a lot of water on the fire, it damages just about everything inside, and I know the Scouts had quite a stash of all their equipment in there,” Kirk said. The Scouts have stored gear in the carriage house for about 40 years, according to current volunteer quartermaster Gordon Tilley. “Our main service area is Burnaby, but we also support the Lower Mainland,” he said. He estimates the organization had more than $100,000 worth of equipment in the building at the time of the fire, including camping gear, games, cooking equipment, rope bridges, cargo nets and tools. Fortunately, 100 pairs of snowshoes, which

‘It’s an eyesore,’ neighbours charge Parkland Fuel’s parking lot came as a shock to residents who saw forest turned into a ‘huge gash’

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Joni Mitchell’s lyrics to BigYellow Taxi are what come to mind when Carol Haar walks or drives by Parkland Fuel Corporation’s new parking lot. Last April, Parkland announced it had purchased the Burnaby refinery from Chevron as part of a $1.5-billion deal. Months later, the company got to work on building a new parking lot on the north side of Penzance Drive, directly across from North Gamma Avenue, to support the high traffic volumes anticipated during February’s refinery shutdown. Every few years, the refinery is shut down for six to eight weeks to allow crews to do equipment maintenance.The next one is scheduled for February. According to a Parkland neighbourhood newsletter, there can be up to 600 additional contractors on every shift during a shutdown and the new parking lot accommodates up to 377 vehicles. But Haar and many of her neighbours on North Gamma Avenue – who have lived there anywhere between 20 and 40 years – are not impressed with the paving project.They argue the clearcutting of several hundred trees has changed the

skyline – what once used to be a thick forest is now a “huge gash,” according to the group. “It’s an eyesore,” Haar told the NOW. “You’d drive down in the summer and you’d cry, watching all these trees come down. It was really sad. ... Chainsaw after chainsaw, tree after tree.” “I really don’t think, even though they own the land, that they should be able to create such havoc without any community input whatsoever,” said Laurie Baker, another local resident. DianeYard said folks living on Gamma didn’t know about Parkland’s parking lot plans until they read it in the company’s quarterly newsletter, which they say arrived later than normal. “In August, I came back from holidays and a friend walked me down here and I went, ‘What?’We didn’t even know (the parking lot) was coming in,” she said. “It was buried in the back of the newsletter – ‘Oh, by the way, we’re going to be building a parking lot,’” added Haar. “We had no idea what scale it was going to be.” The residents fear more parking means more traffic along residential streets like Gamma, and more noise. “We have semi-trailers coming down the street, and there’s a wimpy speed bump that does nothing to slow anyone down,” noted Baker. “I’d like to see

I’d like to see the Parkland traffic not be able to use a local residential street, which means it has to start at Hastings, and people have to not come down Gamma at all.They have to go on Willingdon.” Lighting is another issue. “We’re going to be looking at parking lots and

lights, including night lighting,” said Baker. Kel Coulson, a spokesperson for Parkland, told the NOW the parking lot will only be used during shutdowns and is not intended for daily parking. That’s because when the lot is in use, the company has to bus contractors over to the refinery given the dis-

tance between the two sites, she said. As for traffic control, Coulson noted an island has been put in place at Penzance and Gamma. Anyone coming down Gamma has to turn right on Penzance and can’t go straight into the Parkland parking lot, and vice versa, anyone coming from Park-

land’s lot can’t go straight onto Gamma and must turn right or left. She said Parkland instructs contractors to use Willingdon Avenue to get to Penzance, not Gamma. “We’re looking at how we identify those (non-compliant) people and then Continued on page 8

Metropolis makes top 10 of Canadian malls

Burnaby mall ranked as No. 8 in a list of the most profitable malls in Canada By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

For the second year in a row, Metropolis at Metrotown is one of the top 10 most profitable malls in the country, according to a study by the Retail Council of Canada. The Burnaby mall was ranked the eighth most profitable mall in Canada, according to the study.The rankings are part of the Re-

tail Council of Canada’s annual Canadian Shopping Centre Study, which analyzed 30 malls based on productivity, size and pedestrian counts in relation to regional demographics. The data was collected over a 12-month period ending June 30, 2017. During that time, Metropolis at Metrotown generated $1,031 in sales per square foot, according to the study.The most profit-

able mall in the country, according to the 2017 study, was Toronto’sYorkdale Shopping Centre, which sold $1,653 per square foot. The study found that despite regional differences when it comes to productivity, Canada’s top malls, including Metropolis, continue to thrive. Metropolis was also the second busiest mall in the country last year, with more than 27 million visitors to

the centre, according to data provided by Ivanhoé Cambridge. In 2016, more than 28 million people visited Metropolis, but it was only the third busiest mall in the country. Toronto’s CF Toronto Eaton Centre was the busiest mall in the country, with more than 50 million visitors during the 12-month period, according to the study.

Top malls in Canada ! Oakridge Shopping Centre, ranked No. 2 ($1,531 per square foot) ! CF Pacific Centre, ranked No. 3 ($1,528) ! Metropolis at Metrotown, ranked No. 8 ($1,031) !

Blaze started in a lean-to annex Continued from page 1 are in high demand at this time of year, were spared because they had already been checked out for the weekend. With a big Scout camp planned in Manning Park in a couple of weeks, however, Tilley said Scout groups will be scrambling to find equipment. Tilley expects some of the equipment will be salvageable, but he hasn’t yet been allowed into the building to assess the damage. “Scouts obviously carries insurance, but exactly what that will entail in this building I’ve got no idea right

now,” he said. The blaze appears to have started in a lean-to annex at the back of the heritage building, where the city had been storing grounds and horticultural equipment. “They did some electrical work, and that’s where the fire started,” Kirk said. “We’re still investigating it, and we’re just trying to determine if that’s the cause or not, but that was our initial place to start.” Denis Nokony, the city’s assistant director of cultural services, described the old carriage house as “a sweetheart building.” “It’s a very valuable piece

of property, and of course the city, through the heritage commission, has invested significant resources to replace the roof and redo the exterior,” he told the NOW. Once an investigation into the cause of the fire is complete, the city will inspect the building to determine what repairs are needed, what they would cost and how long they would take, Nokony said. He said it will then be up to city council to decide whether the building will be restored. “From my perspective, from a community cultur-

FRESH CHOICES

al perspective, I would really hope we could fully restore the building and make it available as a heritage property and useful to the community,” he said. If the building is restored, staff will re-evaluate what it’s used for, according to Nokony, and look into installing a fire suppression system, like sprinklers. “It kind of gets your attention when one of these things is on fire,” he said, “and you realize how valuable they are. I mean, we realize how valuable they are, but they’re really really worth taking extra special care of.”

City now Burnaby students take debating skills to Oxford Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

In an age of social media echo chambers and polarized political debate, two Burnaby students have spent the last few years learning how to argue both sides. And they’ve gotten pretty good at it. In March, Burnaby Mountain Secondary students Miranda Collett and Carolyn Chen travel to Oxford, England for the Oxford Schools’ Finals Day international debating competition. They’re the only debaters from Western Canada to qualify, winning the UBC 2017 High School Tournament earlier this season and coming in third at a qualifier in Montreal. “I still can’t believe that we made it there,” Collett said. “I’m shook to the core

that we made it to a tournament in England.” The results are the culmination of years of work, according to the Grade 12 student. Besides the pair preparing hard for tournaments, Collett said she had to save money from her part-time job at McDonald’s for more

I still can’t believe that we made it there …

than a year to afford her share of tournament costs and the cost of hiring a debate coach for her last year of high school. Collett and Chen first joined their school’s debate team for very different reasons. “I started partially be-

cause, in elementary school, I hated public speaking with my entire heart and soul, so I ended up doing debating so I’d be less uncomfortable with it,” said Chen, who is still in Grade 11. It was a different story for Collett. “I really liked arguing,” she said. It’s a yin-and-yang dynamic that works well for the pair. “She’s better at taking down arguments,” Chen said, “and I prefer building our arguments and presenting them, so that’s usually how we tend to split our roles.” While Chen has gained confidence as a speaker over the years, Collett has learned to appreciate the intricacies of building an argument and presenting it. In the real world, it’s a blessing and a bit of a curse, as arguing with people who

haven’t developed those skills can be frustrating for Collett.

Again, it’s a different story for Chen. “I don’t have that many

arguments with people in real life,” she said. Continued on page 8

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Real estate ban just sounds so unwelcoming No one wants to use the word “ban” – it’s so unwelcoming. That is, no one except Green party leader Andrew Weaver, who unabashedly has called for a ban on foreign buyers investing in parts of the province’s real estate market. Weaver is not alone in his opinion that part of the reason for the high prices in the Lower Mainland real estate market is due to foreign buyers seeing homes

and condos as a great place to park their money. If you have a lot of dough and can buy a condo for investment purposes and have a rental management company do all the work for you, who wouldn’t take advantage of such a deal? Whether you live in Hong Kong or New York, it’s pretty attractive. In fact, you don’t have to be from a foreign country to take advantage of such an investment opportunity. Lots of B.C. and Canadi-

an real estate investors have also seen that buying a condo in Vancouver or Burnaby is smart. The problem is that when anything is seen as a good investment, the price will go up. And, unfortunately, those with less money, or less access to money, are simply being shut out of the marketplace. The previous Liberal government avoided – until the last possible moment – hindering any foreign own-

ership.Their half-hearted foreign buyers’ tax hardly made a dent in the demand. But the NDP is also treading carefully around the whole issue.They don’t want to throw cold water on a market that benefits their own provincial revenue coffers – albeit at the potential of losing working-class and middle-class voters. Their plan appears to be multi-faceted – throwing in some new social housing, perhaps adding anoth-

er surtax on foreign buyers, perhaps some levies on speculators. But a ban is not something on their agenda. They cloak the “no-ban” policy in Canadianese – “British Columbians are proud to welcome thousands of newcomers each year who help strengthen our province,” Carole James, minister of finance said when saying that the NDP were not looking at a ban. But no one is arguing

against immigration. Folks are, however, saying foreign owners who are buying for investment purposes should be stopped. Weaver points out that other countries have related bans, New Zealand being the most recent – and even a province such as P.E.I. has a ban on foreign ownership. He has a point, a very good point. And we suspect the NDP, by ignoring him, will come to regret their inaction.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

New generation rising in politics Some of the newer faces in B.C. politics emerged last week, and you should get used to seeing them and hearing from them for some time yet. Rookie MLAs such as Ravi Kahlon, Bowinn Ma and Rachna Singh from the NDP and Peter Milobar and Jas Johal of the B.C. Liberals found themselves in the limelight outside of the legislature and they made the most of things. They inserted themselves into the news cycle for a couple of days because they belong to a legislature committee that suddenly found itself dealing with an issue that is garnering widespread public interest: ridehailing. The Crown corporations committee will produce a report on how to move forward with ridehailing by the end of next month, at which time I assume its members will be thrust into the public eye again.This means the aforementioned MLAs will be carving out a public profile not usually accorded government backbenchers or rookie Opposition members. And this is a good thing, because not only does it show renewal (to varying degrees) for both parties, but it also highlights the emerging diversity that both parties need to embrace. Four of the MLAs are of South Asian descent, while two of them are under 40 (another committee member, the NDP’s Spencer Chandra-Herbert is 35). The NDP is ahead of the B.C. Liberals when it comes to diversity and renewal. In fact, it is interesting to contrast the new faces emerging

at the ridehailing committee with what’s happening in the B.C. Liberal leadership race. This past weekend, interim party leader and 22-year MLA Rich Coleman endorsed 24-year MLA Mike de Jong. In a video, Coleman said he had worked with de Jong for more than 20 years, a reference to the past that for some party members illustrates why “renewal” is an issue for them. Gavin Dew, a youngish party activist, took issue with Coleman’s move in a Facebook post. “I have a ton of respect for Rich Coleman, as do we all,” Dew wrote. “But we need to look at the NEXT 20 years, not the last 20 years.” Ouch! But while the Liberals grapple internally over the renewal issue, the NDP seems more confident with it.Which means you can expect newcomers like Kahlon, Ma, Singh and others to continue to be given high-profile assignments in the years ahead. Even if the B.C. Liberals opt to pick a candidate who is a veteran like de Jong, or a party outsider like Dianne Watts, or a younger option such as Todd Stone, I would still expect Johal, Milobar and other rookie Liberal MLAs like Tracy Readies to be given greater responsibilities by whoever becomes party leader on Feb. 3. Ridehailing is one issue, but there will be plenty more opportunities for the rookies to shine. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Politics is a man’s world

Alderman Joan Sawicki was not OK with being called a man, but her male colleagues in the Burnaby Citizens Association weren’t exactly gung-ho about her making a big public deal out of it. Sawicki had asked council to support a motion for the Union of B.C. Municipalities to ditch the title alderman in favour of the gender-neutral “councillor.” Her male council colleagues didn’t vote against her, but the BCA caucus did try to dissuade her from taking the issue public. She was unmoved.

Opinionnow Get over yourselves with this pagan history Dear Editor: re: Actually, Christmas was a pagan festival first, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 10. Why can’t some smug people stop themselves from pointing out that there used to be a pagan festival in December? How many centuries have passed since this time of year and the traditions most Canadians celebrate were related to Christmas, Christ and Christianity? All of our history is built upon taking traditions and practices, adopting them, changing them, making them new. What difference does it make if 2,000 years ago a bunch of pagans had a party in December celebrating the sun? I’m sure 15,000 years ago a bunch of cave men had a party in December celebrating rocks. The letter writer needs to get over themselves. James Potter, by email

Women must be part of diplomatic peace process

Dear Editor: For many of us, the Korean Peninsula was just another conflict in a distant and poorly understood country; now the Korean conflict is coming to Vancouver. On Jan. 16, foreign ministers from 20 nations, representing those engaged in the ongoing conflict with North Korea, gather in Vancouver to discuss security and stability on the Korean

Peninsula. As well as the official government delegates, an international delegation of women representing feminist peace movements from Asia, Europe and North America will convene in Vancouver to ensure that civil society perspectives are included in the official talks. They are included because women of the world demanded a seat at the table in peace negotiations and they achieved the UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which requires nations to include women in peace-building efforts, and Canada is a signatory. The objective of the women’s peace delegation is to urge the foreign ministers to prepare the table for a diplomatic peace process that moves away from war and increased militarization, towards peace, reconciliation and genuine security. Through the Vancouver Women’s Forum and other actions, the women delegates and civil society will remind government leaders of overwhelming global public opinion that favours a peaceful diplomatic resolution as the only option on the table for resolving the Korean crisis. “The human, social and ecological costs of the unresolved 65-year Korean War must be stopped. Our delegation of women will recommend steps that can ensure a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula. The outcome of the official summit must support the recent breakthroughs in inter-Korean rapprochement, not derail it.” – Ellen Judd, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace and organizer for Vancouver Forum for Peace in Korea Elsie Dean, Burnaby

Coulson encouraged anyone with concerns to call Parkland at 604-257-4040. “Let us know because we are committed to getting back to everybody.” As for the delayed newsletter, Coulson said it was not intentional. “It was a delay on our side.When we were going through the transition, to new ownership, we were getting different people to review it, so we just weren’t able to get it out on time.”

INVITATION TO PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE PARCEL 20 – LIBERTY HOMES Liberty Homes is working with SFU Community Trust on a development proposal for Parcel 20 at UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain. The proposal consists of two residential towers at 14 and 20 storeys respectively, and 3-storey townhomes fronting University Crescent. The development will include 186 apartments and 14 townhomes.

Burnaby Family Life opens café at BCIT Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A local non-profit has expanded into the food service industry. Burnaby Family Life, an organization that provides social services to children, families and vulnerable immigrants and refugees, now offers catering out of its new BCIT café. The non-profit began operating the café in the school’s applied research and innovation building last September. (The shop was previously run by Chartwells, with BCIT now offering the space free of charge to Burnaby Family Life.) The idea is to make the café into a social enterprise venture, according to executive director Michel Pouliot, with all proceeds re-invested back into the non-profit. Pouliot believes catering to Burnaby’s business community is one way to do that. “We’re not really equipped to do big weddings and those kinds of things,” he said with a laugh. “It’s more lunch and dinner meetings, breakfast meetings as well.” Pouliot pointed to a Christmas luncheon the café catered for the Knowledge Network last month. “Probably the sweet spot for us is 20 to 60 people,” he said. So what’s on the menu? Everything from green chickpea salad and mac and cheese to creamy pesto chicken. As for pricing, Pouliot

said Burnaby Family Life won’t be charging less than its competitors. Platters range from $25 to $160. “We can’t do it cheaper than anyone else. ...We have to make sure we pay our staff.We can’t run a social enterprise café and lose money year after year

We can’t do it cheaper than anyone else

because then it’s not just sustainable.” Besides catering and feeding the building’s tenants, the café also provides employment to some of its most vulnerable clients. (Two staff members are newcomers who have been helped by Burnaby Fami-

ly Life’s moving ahead program.) Pouliot noted meal preparation for the organization’s pregnancy outreach program, which provides meals to participants three times a week, has also moved to the café. It appears Burnaby Family Life is in it for the long haul when it comes to staying in the food biz. “It’s not a pop-up thing. We have a great partnership with BCIT.They’re excited to have us there; they like what they see,” said Pouliot. “As long as it’s financially doable and people are happy with the food and keep buying it, then our plan is to keep doing it.” The café, open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, is located at 4355 Mathissi Pl.

There is one downside to providing fewer rides, however, and that is a decline in donations for KidSport Burnaby.While Operation Red Nose is a free service, clients are welcome to make a donation, which is in turn given to the local KidSport chapter.

The number of rides provided by Operation Red Nose in 2017 were down, but that’s a good thing, according to its organizer. The safe-ride-home service, which serves Burnaby, NewWestminster and the Tri-Cities during the holiday season, gave a total of 92 rides in Burnaby during its 2017 campaign – 34 fewer than in 2016, according to coordinator ChrisWilson. “It was pretty much the same in all the areas that operate the service,” he told the NOW.

Wilson said the decline is the result of people planning ahead more often than they used to. “People are just doing the right thing,” he said. “When they’re planning their night out, they’re just planning for a safe ride home.” Another factor in the dip, Wilson said, was the loss of the Surrey and Langley chapter, which had been run by a gymnastics group up until this year. In past years, the Burnaby, NewWest and Tri-Cities chapter has provided rides to people looking to go to Surrey or Langley.Volunteers north of the Fras-

Rakic skates to novice silver

Champs’ skater battles Ontario rival for podium placing Barely a month after he dazzled the crowd at the Skate Canada Challenge, Burnaby’s Aleksa Rakic did the same – this time, for an appreciative home crowd. The Champs International Skating Centre of B.C. athlete registered the second-best score at last week’s Canadian Tire national skating championships at UBC. His two-event tally of 136.76 in the novice men’s competition put him behind only Alec Guinzbourg of Ontario. Rakic posted the second-best results in both the short (47.22) and free (89.54) programs, but was right on Guinzbourg’s heels prior to the free, where the Ontario skater was awarded a 10-point lead. It was a reversal from the

Skate Canada Challenge, where Rakic finished with a near 20-point advantage. In eighth place was another Champs skater, Gabriel Blumenthal, with 102.70 points. In 11th place was Shuma Muglii, while Burnaby’s Christopher Fan stood 16th. The showdown in senior men’s ended in a surprise, with Champs’ Kevin Reynolds falling outside the medals for the first time since 2015, when he withdrew due to injury. Reynolds placed fifth with 249.30 points, after standing second following the short program. Brian Le placed fifth in the junior men’s, with identical fifthplace scores in both events. In the senior women’s division, Burnaby’s Sarah Tamura was

poised to improve on last year’s fifth-place debut after a strong third-place in the short program. Unfortunately, the uber-competitive division saw her slide to eighth overall, after scoring the ninth-best score in the free skate. In 11th place was Kelsey Wong, who gave a strong performance in the free skate, rated 10th, after starting the event with the 13th-best score in the short program. Champs’ Amanda Tobin, originally from Ontario, placed 13th. Burnaby’s Vasilisa Matanseva, the 2016 pre-novice national champion, made her first foray as a junior skater, finishing eighth. After the 14th-best result in short program, Matanseva climbed the standings with the sixth-best score in free skate.

Two duos to Taipei

Continued from page 16 spot ahead of Arnold/Williams. “They flip-flopped in results from what has been happening the last two years, but at least both are off to Taipei this week for the Four Continents. … They were pretty tight in their scores, too. It was good.That was the goal, to be fifth/sixth and try and get on the Four Continents team because we knew the Olympic team wasn’t going to be going.” In ninth place were Ravie Cunningham and Cedar Bridgewood, who Lowe said wanted to cap their skating careers with a strong showing at the nationals. “(Cunningham and Bridgewood) had two good skates for themselves and they can go out on a good note knowing they put everything into it,” said Lowe. “For them, they skated great, they had the moment and they are stopping now.They are done, their skating careers are over, and that was the plan all season.” Junior dancers Nina Mizuki and Burnaby’s Veniamins Volskis saw their run halted due to injury.The coaches altered the short program to help Volskis, but he was unable to continue after finishing 10th. “Even just to come 10th and do that short dance was a miracle. (Volskis) hadn’t skated for 10 days and comes out and does the short dance, that’s how bad it was,” added Lowe.

Burnaby’s Emma Regan was among those named this weekend for Canada’s roster for next week’s CONCACAF under-20 women’s soccer championships in Trinidad and Tobago. Eight teams are battling for three berths to the FIFA U20 women’s World Cup in France next August.

Regan, a fullback, will be competing in her second CONCACAF tournament, having played in New Guinea in 2016. Last year she represented Canada at the u17 World Cup in Jordan, after having made her international debut with Canada’s u15 lineup as a 14-year-old.
