Council pulls controversial rezonings from hearing

But councillor says it wasn’t due to demovictions protest

Burnaby city council pulled two controversial Metrotown rezoning proposals from the docket of a public hearing less than 24 hours before they were set to go up for discussion. Coun. Colleen Jordan made a motion at council Monday night for the two proposals – a 34-storey highrise on Barker Avenue and a 24-storey building on Marlborough Avenue – to be rescinded from Tuesday’s scheduled public hearing. The proposals will be sent back to staff, who will ask the developers to explore the possibility of including non-market rental units as part of their plans. Jordan has previously asked for other Metrotown rezoning applications to go through the same process. She said pulling the items from The developer the next day’s hearis probably not ing was not a reaction a planned rally set going to be happy. to to precede Tuesday’s meeting. Rally organizers said they expected dozens of people to come voice opposition to the proposals, which would see dozens of units in lowrise apartment buildings razed to make room for the new towers. “There’s been rallies since last July,” Jordan told the NOW following the meeting. “Every public hearing that had anything to do with Metrotown, there’s been a rally.” Jordan said the Marlborough and Barker proposals passed first reading and were scheduled for Tuesday’s hearing in May, before it became clear to council they could ask more of developers with governments in Victoria and Ottawa willing to help. Jordan was asked how she expects people to react to the items being pulled at such short notice. “The developer is probably not going to be happy, and the people that were planning on coming and making speeches tomorrow, maybe they’ll be happy or not, I don’t know,” she said. “Hopefully they’ll be happy that what we’re trying to do is get more non-market housing.”

Mike Hurley says he will attract support from across the political spectrum to topple Derek Corrigan’s “toxic” reign and become the next mayor of Burnaby. “I’ve always answered the call to serve the city, and now I want to work with all of you to build a better Burnaby,” the recently retired firefighter said at the launch of his campaign. The former acting assistant fire chief of the Burnaby Fire Department also served as the president of the Burnaby firefighters’ union for eight years. He formally announced his mayoral run Tuesday morning at the Bonsor 55+ Seniors Centre in front of a crowd of about 100 people. Campaign manager Lorne West said Hurley has already attracted a diverse base of support. He pointed out that Conservative SenatorYonah Martin was in attendance and that Hurley’s campaign team includes longtime NDP campaigner and former Burnaby Citizens Association president Patricia Pratt and Liberal campaign organizer Michael Hillman. “Welcome to Mike’s big tent,”West said. Hurley harshly criticized Corrigan and current councillors, all member of the BCA, for their policies allowing the demolition of affordable rental apartment buildings to make way for high-rise towers in Metrotown.

City not blocking pride ﬂag: mayor Corrigan says city is open to flying the flag, despite a gay citizen being told otherwise by staffer Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The mayor of Burnaby says there is no formal policy barring an LGBT pride flag from being flown at city hall, despite his assistant emphatically telling a gay citizen no flags of any kind are allowed at city facilities. On June 19, a man emailed Elaine Wong, executive assistant to Mayor Derek Corrigan, expressing his disappointment in learning the City of Burnaby does not fly a rainbow flag during Pride Month (June) as many other area municipalities do. “Shame on Burnaby!!” he wrote. (The Burnaby resident asked not to be named in this story, fearing reprisals. “I have experienced both overtly and passive-aggressive homophobia in the building where I live,” he explained.) Wong responded in an email written mostly in a blue font, but switching to bright red underlined letters to say: “We DO NOT raise any flag requests at any of our city facilities.” The man responded to Wong and wrote asking how that policy might be changed: “I want a prag-

matic and open-minded local government to represent my concerns, not a parochial and narrow-minded one.” But when the NOW reached out to Corrigan for an explanation why such a blanket policy against flying flags was in place, he said no such policy has ever been passed by council, as far as he knows. “I think it was an informal policy by the manager’s office to simply not entertain requests because it requires work and it requires decisions in order to be able to do anything like that,” Corrigan said. He said council would be happy to consider a request to fly a pride flag.

“If the person is interested, they can remake the application or send an email directly to me,” he said. The citizen also said he was disappointed that a formal request had to be made in order for city council to make a proclamation recognizing June 25 as Pride Day in the city. He said council should make the proclamation on their own initiative and that being forced to ask for it adds “insult to injury.” “I have been contacting my gay friends throughout the Lower Mainland and Canada to let them know what is going on in Burnaby,” he wrote in the same email to Wong. Wong responded, also in

red underlined type: “ALL proclamation requests are to be sent for approval annually as we DO NOT automatically renew anyone’s!!!” Corrigan said that the requirement for an annual request for a proclamation is indeed city policy. He said proclamations are a symbolic gesture from council without much real consequence. “There are many important areas that we deal with and a proclamation has no

other significance than to recognize an event and to ensure that we recognize that there are people out there who this is very important to,” he said. Asked whether a pride proclamation might stand apart from most other proclamations due to the historic oppression faced by the LGBT community, Corrigan said: “I wouldn’t want to put myself in that position of saying this one is more important.”

First pride event set Council approves street closure: Burnaby’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is set to have its first-ever pride celebration in the city. Burnaby Neighbourhood House plans to host Burnaby Pride on the block of Jubilee Avenue between Imperial Street and Nelson Avenue on Aug. 11 from noon to 4 p.m. On Monday, city council approved a request to have the road shut down for the festival. While many surrounding municipalities, including New Westminster and Vancouver, have hosted annual LGBT Pride events for years, Burnaby has lagged behind. “There just hasn’t been a group that has stepped forward to say ‘We wanted to do something in celebration of gay pride,’” said Mayor Derek Corrigan, who hopes to attend the event. “But this year there has been, which is very welcome. We were happy that someone has taken the initiative.” The event will include a barbecue by local firefighters, interactive booths from local organizations, music, face painting, games, crafts and more, according to a city report. Local businesses are supportive of the event, the report says.

The operator of summer camps for deaf youth is breathing a sigh of relief after donors stepped up to cover a funding shortfall. Cecilia Klassen, executive director of Family Network for Deaf Children, told the NOW in mid-June that FNDC’s DeafYouth Today camps were short about $35,000 going into this year’s program of five day camps in Burnaby and a week-long overnight camp on Hornby Island. She had been considering dipping into the organization’s emergency fund to save this year’s planned camps, but Klassen said doing so would likely mean next year’s camps would have to be scaled back or cancelled altogether But donors have stepped up with contributions large and small since the original story ran, and have filled that $35,000 hole. “It’s amazing to think that people out there care,” Klassen said. “You always hope they do, but then something like this is so heartwarming.” While she said she is grateful for the generosity of one-time donors, Klassen said she hopes to find sustainable donors willing to donate annually.

Burnaby bus route is 2ndmost crowded A bus route that originates in Burnaby has been listed as the second-most crowded in all of Metro Vancouver. The 25 Brentwood Station/UBC was put on the “10 most-crowded bus routes” list in the latest edition of TransLink’s Buzzer Blog. The route was overcrowded for 17,800 annual revenue hours, or 19 per cent of the time. The good news is that after TransLink implemented its first phase of service improvements, including adding more buses, the #25 overcrowding has dropped eight per cent during the busy weekdays, based on the numbers from 2016 to 2017. The 25 route ranks number 5 on the most-used bus routes, with more than 7.6 million annual boardings.

Greens vow to halt Metrotown demovictions

Burnaby civic party released its housing platform Monday, saying Burnaby is facing a ‘major crisis’ Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Civic Green Party is promising a moratorium on demovictions in Metrotown. “Burnaby is facing a major crisis, as our Metrotown area is being ripped apart by Mayor Derek Corrigan and his heartless BCA council,” Green Mayoral candidate Joe Keithley said in an email. The Greens have previously said they hope to run a full slate of eight councillors and a mayoral candidate in the Oct. 20 local election. So far, teacher

Rick McGowan and accountant Carrie McLaren have been declared as Green council candidates. (Valentine Wu was previously named a council candidate but has since pulled out.) The announcement comes with just under four months until the election, as the current council made up entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association members continues to approve and consider rezoning applications to raze aging apartment buildings and replace them with high-rise towers. The moratorium would also apply to other unspec-

ified “vulnerable neighbourhoods,” according to a Green Party news release. “This new plan would include protecting the existing rental stock and the aspects of the neighbourhood that contribute to its character and vibrancy,” the release reads. “It would also involve working with developers to provide comparable, truly affordable one for one rental replacement homes.” The proposal is part of a three-pronged housing platform released by the party on Monday. It also promises to invest $10 million a year to “create truly affordable housing for families and se-

niors” and to better engage citizens before embarking on a plan to densify neighbourhoods. A Green-controlled council would try to get both the province and federal government to match its annual $10 million investment, according to the release.The city’s share would come in

the form of cash and land. The release does not elaborate on how that money would be spent to create affordable housing. The Greens say they would make way for new housing in existing neighbourhoods by allowing infill development. “This would be done in a

sensitive way, and only done with neighbourhood consent,” the release says. “A Green-led council will give the community the means to re-imagine our city, enhancing neighbourhood vibrancy, connectedness and inclusivity.”

Burnaby is being ‘torn apart’ Continued from page 1 “Today, Burnaby and our neighbourhoods are being torn apart rather than being brought together,” he said. “Our current mayor just doesn’t listen to citizens, and our community is paying the price for that toxic style of leadership.” Hurley proposed a threepoint plan to address housing. He said he would streamline permit granting for “smart, reasonable development,” plans for the “right mix of housing” that acommodates all Burnaby residents, and strike a task force that will report back with a comprehensive housing plan within six months. “It won’t take me 15 years to get the job done,” Hurley said. He stopped short of joining the local Green Party in promising a full moratorium on Metrotown demovictions. He will implement a moratorium if possible but he might not be able to, de-

pending on existing contracts the city may have. “People can be sure that I will be on their side and I will do everything I can to possibly to ensure they’re accommodated,” he said. He also promised to expand the number of RCMP bike patrol officers and ensure the long-awaited expansion of Burnaby Hospi-

tal goes ahead. Hurley said he opposes the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, but it won’t be his job as mayor to stop it from happening. He said he expects the Supreme Court of Canada to make a final ruling on the project and he will respect its decision.

Citynow Society’s logo explanation not enough for queer SFU students Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Queer students at SFU aren’t satisfied with the Simon Fraser Student Society’s explanation of how its logo ended up on an event poster alongside the name of a well-known anti-LGBTQ activist. The Get-A-Grip 2018 Christian youth conference made headlines last week after Vancouver trans activist Morgane Oger tweeted out a photo of the July event’s poster. Pointing out the poster listed among the conference’s facilitators Kari Simpson – a vocal opponent of B.C.’s sexual orientation and gender identity or SOGI123 school curriculum – Oger tweeted: “Hey SFU students, Is this event at the Anvil Centre really something you’re involved in? … Inciting hate against #LGBTQ people is not education or free speech. #newwest can do better.” The City of New Westminster cancelled the booking for the conference at its Anvil Centre venue soon after, saying it made the move

after being made aware of one of the event’s headliners. The SFSS also quickly distanced itself from the conference, putting out a press release the same day. Student society officials said Redeemed Christian Fellowship, an SFSS-sponsored club, had used the society’s logo without permission, and the society had since directed the club to remove the SFSS logo from its materials. “Typically, clubs submit their requests for printed materials (banners, posters, flyers, etc.) in advance, which provides us with an opportunity to review these requests and approve or reject them for publishing,” stated the press release. In this case, Redeemed Christian Fellowship had the posters with the SFSS logo on them printed externally, SFSS spokesperson Jasdeep Gill told the NOW. She said Simpson’s association with the event and the design of the posters – featuring rainbow colours and the letters LGBT, standing for “let God be true” instead of “lesbian,

gay, bisexual and trans” – raised concerns at the student society. But the student society shares at least some blame for its logo appearing alongside Simpson’s name on the Get-A-Grip conference’s poster, according to members of SFU’s queer community.They point to a recently adopted SFSS branding guideline dictating that to remain funded by the society, clubs must put the SFSS logo on all material promoting their clubsponsored events. “The threat of not putting their logo on something and then being de-funded is very real,” former SFU grad student Amy Lippett said, “so people put their logo on everything and throw it out there.” Gill said flyers and posters are looked at by both the SFSS communications department and the print centre to make sure the posters and events align with the student society’s values, but that’s not the case for promotional material printed off-campus, according to Vivian Ly, an executive with SFU Autistics United, an

SFSS club. When she chose to print promotional material for her club off-campus, she said she was told it too needed the SFSS logo. “It gave the message to

club executives that, no matter what you’re doing as a club, you would still need the SFSS on it,” Ly said. There’s been “a lot of pain” in SFU’s LGBTQ community around the

poster, according to Jen Marchbank, a professor of gender, sexuality and women’s studies the university. And she said the whole incident begs the question, “why would the SFSS have as a member organization, an organization that would act in such a way?” “I cannot tell the student society what to do,” she said, “but, as a queer professor working on that campus, I would like them to take into account the need to consider more fully the types of student clubs and activities they have under their umbrella and who they fund.” The Redeemed Christian Fellowship did not respond to the NOW’s request for comment before press time.

Banning straws hurts people with disabilities

Many who are concerned about the environment have advocated banning plastic straws. On the surface, such a ban seems like a no-brainer. After all, head to our waterways on any day of the week and cups and straws and other plastics can be seen floating or strewn along the shoreline. It is a global problem. There are five massive patches of plastic in the oceans around the world. By 2050, there is predict-

ed to be more plastic (by weight) in the oceans than there are fish. So it seems like a simple solution to ban plastic bags and straws. Banning those pesky plastic bags is likely a smart idea, but straws – not so much. What well-meaning people forget is that for some of our neighbours with disabilities, straws are essential to nourish themselves. Does this issue impact the majority of people? No. Most of us wouldn’t even

How about instead of a ban, we shift to supporting a ‘straws on request’ policy? notice if straws disappeared. But does that mean we should ignore the needs of the minority? That is a slippery slope to a society none of us wants. After all, for some, straws mean independence. “If you outright ban plas-

tic straws it’s like you’re telling some disabled folks that they’re not welcome,” says Isabel Jordan, chair of the Rare Disease Foundation. Currently, there aren’t any suitable replacements for the plastic straw that are appropriate for hot and cold

items, sanitary and flexible enough. A “bring your own straw policy” would be discriminatory. Imagine a “bring your own cutlery” restaurant for non-disabled people? Would you feel welcome? Not likely. And ultimately, while any reduction of plastics in our environment is positive, plastic straws aren’t the worse culprits. Scientists say plastic bags and micro-plastics – tiny beads of plastic that are

in cosmetics, some clothing, and that result from industrial processes – are the main culprits when it comes to single-use plastics that are clogging our oceans. Let’s get to work on reducing those, shall we? And as for plastic straws, how about instead of a ban, we shift to supporting businesses adopting a “straws on request” policy? Seems fairer to everyone – and the planet. – Guest editorial by the Squamish Chief

Fish farm plans too confusing

The BC NDP government has unveiled what obtaining the “consent” of First Nations for resource development projects is supposed to look like and things are as confusing as ever. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham announced a new government policy regarding aquaculture operations, one she says breaks the status quo and charts a bold path forward that will require any First Nations affected by a fish farm to consent to it. That policy doesn’t take effect until 2022, well after the next election, and there is no guarantee the party in power that created this policy will still be in charge. Whichever party wins the next election will be free to come up with its own policy regarding aquaculture. So perhaps First Nations’ support will be required. One day. Maybe. That is one uncertainty. Another is we still have no clue of what, exactly, is meant by “consent” when it comes to being implemented. Popham has been asked repeatedly to offer her definition of “consent” when it came to fish farm operations and has declined to do so each time. “Right now, we are working with the word agreement,” she said. “As far as the technical details around that, I think we’re going to have to see how that works. That’s why we have this four-year term.” When she was asked what would happen if an elected band council were in favour of a fish farm but, say, some hereditary chiefs were

opposed, no clarity was provided. And what if one First Nations supported a fish farm but another First Nations with an overlapping claim opposed it? Again, there was no clear answer. She did provide a clue about how this may play out, saying there are existing operating agreements between fish farm operators and local First Nations. “We might look to how those are being done now,” the minister offered. Popham was not the only government official unable to provide much certainty about a concept that has potentially enormous implications for all kinds of natural resource industries – forestry, mining, oil and gas. In a technical briefing for reporters that preceded Popham’s news conference, her ministry’s senior officials were similarly vague about defining what is meant by “consent” and suggested it may take various forms. That “maybe yes, maybe no” approach will hardly inspire much investor confidence. The BC NDP remains committed to giving First Nations “free, prior and informed consent” over development, as outlined in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We now have our first look at how that pledge will be applied to a particular industry. But we are scarcely better informed at what this promise will look like on the ground after it evolves from being a theoretical concept. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

For years, the biggest problem withYvonne O’Halloran’s address was the occasional postie not being able to find her house. But two incidents finally convinced her to ask the city for help: police had had trouble finding her house during a break-in, and paramedics took a while finding it during a medical emergency.The supposed street O’Halloran lived on did exist, but it was 30 feet away from her legal address.The only access to her home was a back alley. In January she asked the city to extend the road to the edge of her property.

Trump order will not end child imprisonment Editor: An open letter to President Trump and Prime Minister Trudeau: We are writing on behalf of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs. We have seen the horrifying pictures and listened to the audio recordings of immigrant and refugee children being torn from their families and jailed south of the medicine line. We fully condemn this atrocious state-sanctioned violence that is being perpetuated against immigrant children and families under President Trump’s administration. For many of us, this is reminiscent of U.S. and Canadian policies of Indian residential schools and Indian boarding schools, where Indigenous children were kidnapped and forcibly separated from their families and communities. Canada and the U.S.A. and the church committed acts of genocide as defined by the United Nations’ Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. As Indigenous peoples, we have endured and survived, yet this continues today with policies of child apprehension that break our families and Nations across our lands. The UBCIC recognizes and affirms the importance of standing with and supporting Indigenous peoples internationally. Our hearts break for the many Maya, Aztec, Zapotec, Olmec Indigenous children who are being jailed in child camps simply for travelling through their own traditional territories and those of their relatives. This is a violation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and the denial of

inherent Indigenous rights to the land that Indigenous peoples have inhabited since time immemorial. The UBCIC is aware of instances of Indigenous families being torn apart due to Canadian and American immigration policies. Immigration officers routinely detain and deport spouses who are married into our Indigenous nations. This is a violation of our Indigenous rights and our own customary marriage and adoption laws. The Government of Canada’s recent report on First Nation border-crossing issues details how Indigenous people in Canada are negatively impacted by colonial border policies: “First Nations therefore view the imposition of the Canada-U.S. border, which in some cases literally divided their existing nations in two, as an unjustified and unlawful abridgement of their inherent rights which have a direct relation to their cultural survival.” We oppose Trump’s recent executive order claiming to stop this horror. (It) continues the “zero-tolerance policy” that criminalizes anyone who crosses the border without legal papers, including those seeking asylum. It does not end child imprisonment – it just means that the U.S. will now imprison children in the same camp as their parents. This is also what Canada does. In 2016-2017, Canada jailed 162 minors in detention facilities. The UBCIC will not stand idly by while devastating and irreparable harm is being committed to children and families. We stand with our allies like No One Is Illegal on both sides of the medicine line and will continue to apply pressure to stop this gross injustice.

City now Charges possible against cops after shots ﬁred More than three years after shots were fired during an interaction between Burnaby RCMP and two robbery suspects, B.C.’s police watchdog is forwarding the case to the B.C. Prosecution Service for possible charges against the officer or officers involved. The Independent Investigations Office was called to Burnaby in the early morning hours of March 1, 2015. Local RCMP officers had

been driving on patrol by Canada Way and Edmonds Street at about 3 a.m., when they came across an apparent robbery in progress at a 7-Eleven there. The officers tried to arrest two male suspects, but the men fled in a vehicle, ramming a police vehicle in the process, according to an RCMP press release at the time. Shots were fired, and the suspects drove off.

Police later found the suspect vehicle after it crashed near Canada Way and Rosewood Avenue. One of the suspects was found nearby suffering from a serious injury, possibly caused by a gunshot. The IIO sent investigators to both the 7-Eleven and the scene of the crash. On Friday, the watchdog announced it had completed its investigation and was filing a report to the B.C.

PARK’S EDGE PA I N T O F F

Prosecution Service. It will now be up to the Crown to decide whether or not to approve charges against the officer or officers involved. “In approving charges, B.C. Prosecution Service must be satisfied there is a substantial likelihood of conviction based on the evidence gathered by the IIO and that the prosecution is in the public interest,” stated an IIO press release.

Burnaby actor part of the magic of Cinderella Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Laura Cowan is already feeling the magic. The show is still in rehearsal.The actors haven’t moved into the theatre yet. The props and costumes and sets are still in progress. But somehow, it’s already there. “The magic is unfolding,” Cowan says, during a busy rehearsal week leading up to the opening of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, one of the offerings at Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park this summer. Cowan, who’s from Burnaby, has been involved with TUTS before; she worked backstage on its production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 2002 and was onstage in Can-Can in 2005. She’s thrilled to be returning to

the Vancouver summer theatre institution this year as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. Cowan says the production team, helmed by director Sarah Rodgers, is so passionate about the show that it has convinced her the huge time commitment is more than worth it. “You can’t help but stand in this space and feel, ‘This is where I am meant to be,’” she says. “This is just a dream for me.” The classic story – which Rodgers & Hammerstein originally created as a TV movie starring Julie Andrews – was modernized for a Broadway run in 2013. (Spoiler alert: this Cinderella has a passion for social justice.) “It’s the same traditional theatrical magic, but the writing in it is going to be more relevant for 2018,”

Cowan says. “Yes, it still has the happily-ever-after, but there’s a core message in our story of kindness and compassion. … It’s not just the girl getting the guy.” That said, she notes, it hasn’t lost its fairytale feeling. “There can be a modern message, but there’s still this magic, there’s still this feeling, ‘Oh my goodness, dreams do come true,” she says. Cowan, as the Fairy Godmother, has the chance to share some particularly powerful stage time with Cinderella (Mallory James). “It’s also been such a gift for me, performing with Mallory James,” Cowan says. “Our scenes together are so vulnerable and uplifting and powerful. It’s a real gift to share the stage with another woman and have that experience.”

She is, she says, blown away by the talent of the entire cast. “Oh my word, it knows no boundaries,” Cowan says. “The ensemble takes your breath away. Each and every ensemble member is just breathtaking and very, very hard-working. … I feel we’re all very, very much connected to each other and we’re all sharing in telling this story together.” Moreover, Cowan points out that performing in the ambience of Malkin Bowl just adds a little something extra. “With a story like Cinderella, being outside will just add to the magic of this,” she says. “There’s already a connection to the story, and being outside … it just feels so real. … I think it’s truly going to be a gift to be able to perform Cinderella outside.”

To be there, onstage, making the magic happen for families in what has become a Vancouver summer tradition, is a gift for Cowan.

“This piece has made me believe,” she says. “It’s made me believe in magic. It’s made me believe anything is possible.”

Counselling program helps volunteers, clients alike Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Seniors helping seniors – that’s the idea behind the Senior Peer Counselling Program (SPCP). The Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society (BSOSS) program welcomes volunteers 55 and older to counsel clients in need of help through a rough patch in their lives. The volunteers go through

… there’s an attitude that we don’t have much to give… a 54-hour training program to help them support their clients, whom they typically see for six to eight hourlong sessions. Program director Jude Weir said the training prepares volunteers to lead and focus sessions so clients can better break down their is-

sues and make a plan to alleviate them. Seniors can come directly to BSOSS for help or can be referred by other organizations,Weir explained. Clients often need help managing anxiety and depression or coming to terms with a medical diagnosis, she said. The program fills a void between well-meaning advice from an untrained friend and professional mental health care,Weir said. “We’re sort of the in-between.We’re more than a friendly visitor, but we’re not dealing with major mental health issues.” Last year, 120 clients were counselled by 26 volunteers,Weir said. But the program is looking to recruit more seniors to become volunteer counsellors, she said. She said those best suited for the role are “people who tend to be an advocate for others, people who are good listeners, the folks who others come to or who others are comfortable with fairly

quickly.” The peer counselling program does more than help its clients,Weir said it gives a purpose to seniors still looking to make an impact in their later years. “One of the problems in our society is as we get older, there's an attitude that we don't have much to give and we're not asked to do a lot,” she said. The SPCP asks volunteers to give about an hour a week of their time and to commit to at least a year. Training is free. Anyone interested in the program can contact Jude Weir at 604-291-2258 or visit BSOSS.org.

Tony Parsons Speaks Out About Hearing Loss –– as told by Tony Parsons, former news anchor

As though on cue with National Hearing Awareness month in Canada, Tony Parsons stepped out of retirement to become the official voice for NexGen Hearing, a BC hearing aid retailer with 50 clinics in the province. Tony’s story is an interesting one.

device jammed in one ear so I could stay in touch with the director of my nightly newscast. Maybe that had something to do with my hearing issue, one I steadfastly denied. I’ve also learned about NexGen Hearing and what makes them different, as they have an established purpose to go far beyond just product sales. They truly care about people and their quality of life. That’s rare!

Tony Parsons: a lesson worth hearing

Sincethen,I’vecometoknowabouttheeducational side of their business and the information and support they can and do provide. I have since been approached by Marke Hambley, President of NexGenHearing,askingthatIconsideraroleinthe company. Today, I am delighted to say that I have committed to speaking out about hearing loss as the official spokesperson for NexGen Hearing and the Hear 4U Foundation. The first commercial endorsement I have ever accepted, I might add!

Like so many other seniors, I’ve admittedly been reluctant to acknowledge the shortcomings that go with the aging process. You know what we’re like, after all we hear just fine! It’s not our fault if everyone else mumbles. I hear what I want to hear and that’s good enough for me. That’s when some friends convinced me to try the free hearing test at NexGen Hearing in Kelowna. Audiologist Colin VanBergen and his team made the whole experience a pleasure and after the test I came to know that I do indeed have a rather significant problem with my hearing. Since then, I have seen an ENT surgeon and have gradually obtained knowledge. Both hearing professionals have patiently schooled me on some of the aspects of my hearing loss. Today I’m now wearing hearing aids and yes, I admit now that I needed them years ago. Consonants and I are becoming friends again and oddly enough…my wife doesn’t seem to mumble any more! Much to my surprise they are so helpful, discrete and quite comfortable. I spent years and years as a broadcaster with a hearing

Another rescue mission and thankfully no damage! How would I explain that to my Audiologist!? So considering that 1 in 4 Canadians suffer some form of hearing loss, I urge you to not delay as I did. Call NexGen Hearing and take advantage of their free Hearing Test!

The dog ate my hearing aids Oh, and by the way, I’ve become so comfortable wearing my new hearing aids that recently I stepped into the shower still wearing them. Yikes! I realized it just in time, and yanked them back to safety. Then I came close to losing them again. I had carelessly left them on a small table near the TV that I was watching and much to my horror Morley, one of my dogs, tried to make a meal of them.

Wish you knew then? Noise-induced hearing loss is caused by overexposure to loud sounds. In some cases, the damage is only temporary. But repeated exposure to excessive noise for long periods such as heavy equipment, gun shots or prolonged exposure to loud music can cause permanent damage. If you suspect a hearing loss try our free, online hearing test today or visit a clinic near you.

A Burnaby-based tutoring company has been recognized by the Better Business Bureau for its outstanding business practices at a recent awards gala. School Is Easy Tutoring received the People’s Pick and Marketplace Excellence (small) awards at the 2018 Torch Awards presented by the Better Business Bureau. Held June 7, the annual awards recognize excellence in the B.C. business community and aim to build awareness about the importance of ethical business practices and create exposure for services and programs offered by the Better Business Bureau, according to a write-up on its website. The People’s Pick award was given to School Is Easy for having the most consumer recognition online. The Marketplace Excellence award, meanwhile, recognizes School Is Easy for demonstrating excellence when it comes to the

business bureau standards, noted a press release from the company. “It’s the tutors that own these awards.They are on the frontline every day representing School Is Easy. They are dedicated.They love the kids.They really care,” said School Is Easy founder Susan Cumberland in the release. Cumberland started the tutoring company in 2002 and began franchising the business in 2009. Last year, she sold the company to Launchlife International, a Canadian education tech company. She still owns and operates her original franchise in Burnaby. Three other Burnaby businesses were also finalists in this year’s Torch Awards. FG Artificial Suppliers was one of four companies in the running for the Green Award while Blue Ocean Construction Inc. and Milani Plumbing, Drainage & Heating were up for Marketplace Excellence (large).

Local Rider Returns to Compete in this year’s Giro di Burnaby There aren’t many riders that can boast about racing alongside the pros at only 14 years of age, but then again, there aren’t many riders who are quite like Maggie Coles-Lyster. Born and raised in Maple Ridge, BC - Maggie has been climbing the ranks at the Giro di Burnaby and the other BC Superweek pro-cycling events since 2013. Being only 14 at the time of her first series appearance, she Photo credit: Scott Robarts required special permission from BC Superweek race director, Mark Ernsting, in order to compete, making her the youngest rider to race amongst the elites at what has become North America’s biggest road cycling series. “I remember the first year I raced at the Giro di Burnaby,” Maggies recalls. “I was drifting to the back of the pack, slowly getting dropped, when suddenly one of my local role models, Olympic bronze medalist, Jasmin Duehring, appeared beside me and told me to get on her wheel and not let go”. While she didn’t managed to stay with the pack that year, Maggie says that was the most aggressive riding she had done up until that point, and in those few minutes on the Giro di Burnaby course, she learned what it would take to compete at a professional level. The next year, Maggie went on to win the illustrious ‘Crowd Prime’ - a cash prize made up of donations from the crowd and awarded to the winner of a designated lap (typically near the end of the race).

Sometimes, a taste of success is all it takes, as Maggie would go on to win the ‘Crowd Prime’ once again at Giro di Burnaby 2015. “Watching yourself progress and get stronger year after year is so exciting,” says Maggie. “And it’s such a positive take away.”

Heights Merchants Association Confederation Seniors Association Adele-Rae Florist VanCity Burnaby Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services

Maggie’s excitement is evident when asked what it means to her to have a world class cycling event like the Giro di Burnaby right here in her backyard. “That has probably been the most key part of my development and making the jump to the next level” says Maggie. “Being able to race in BC Superweek has forced me to make that jump, learning from and competing with women who I’ve looked up to as role models.”

Janet Routledge, MLA Burnaby North Left Coast Naturals

After taking a year off from BC Superweek in 2016 to race internationally, she returned to the Giro di Burnaby in 2017 with a 5th place finish instead of the top 3 finish she was aiming for. If her progress over the past years is any indication, don’t be surprised to see her on the podium on July 12th, 2018 when the 11th annual Giro di Burnaby returns to the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood.

Lakers Burnaby’s Rizzo ready for a big year skip past PentictonVees’ newest captain will be among 44 players trying to make u18 national team ’Rocks Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Newcomers chip in as Burnaby wins second in a row Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

What a difference a week makes. The Burnaby Lakers looked like world beaters on Friday, out-firing the high-powered Victoria Shamrocks in a polished 13-10 victory at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Led by Dane Stevens’ sevenpoint performance and the return of captain Robert Church, Burnaby appeared to be wellrecovered from the thrashing it took just seven days earlier – an 18-2 mauling at the hands of league-leading New West – and collect its second straight win. The Shamrocks were no pushovers, either, leading 5-3 after a pair of early goals to start the second period. But the Lakers were never knocked off course, replying with goals from Church, Stevens, Eli McLaughlin and Brine Rice over a span of 3:09 to reclaim a 7-5 advantage. Victoria would close the gap to 7-6, but Shaun Dhaliwal and McLaughlin – with his fourth of the contest – reshaped the lead to 9-6. Although without the services of all-star Rhys Duch, the ’Rocks continued to push back and got it to 9-8 before former Peterborough Laker Joel Matthews pocketed his second in as many games, followed by Stevens’ third of the night. Matthews is part of a key group of newcomers recruited by Burnaby general manager Kevin Hill, who are injecting some new blood with last year’s regular season champions. Tristan Rai, an Edmonton recruit, and Whitby native Adam Perroni scored late goals, before Victoria got the final marker by Casey Jackson, his fourth of the game, to complete the offence. Another newcomer,Toronto native Aiden Genik, chipped in four assists while Scott Jones contributed three in the game. Turning aside 28 shots for the win was Zak Boychuk. The victory improved the Lakers’ record to 4-4, one-point back of fourth-place Nanaimo, and two back of third place Victoria, with two games in hand on both. Burnaby’s next test is against the second-place Maple Ridge Burrards, Friday, 7:30 p.m. at the Copeland arena.

Last week’s NHL draft saw a host of teenagers achieve one dream and begin the journey to the another. Burnaby’s Massimo Rizzo aims to be in their position come next summer. The Penticton Vees centre has had quite the journey in the past 12 months, and will see more opportunities and obstacles come his way in the next 12 before the 2019 NHL draft arrives. It comes as no surprise that he embraces each challenge with the same passion that a Gen-Xer searchesYouTube for kitten videos. Having wrapped up his studies with a couple of classes at Burnaby Central Secondary, Rizzo enters the summer with a full plate.Within a few weeks, he’ll hit the ice with 43 others vying to make a lasting impression at Hockey Canada’s national men’s under-18 selection camp, with those chosen getting to represent Canada at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in August. “It’s so special. Any time you have a chance to represent your country is an honour and something I’m very grateful for. I’m very excited to go there and try out,” Rizzo told the NOW. “I think you just have to have confidence and play your game.You don’t want to really change how you play because obviously they picked you for a reason.You just go there, have fun and enjoy the experience and hope things work out.” A product of the Burnaby Winter Club, Rizzo is coming off a season where he played his first season with the B.C. Hockey League’s vaunted Penticton Vees franchise, alongside Jonny Tychonick, who was selected Saturday by Ottawa with the 48th pick overall. As a rookie – Rizzo played a handful of games as a call-up in 2016-17, including seven playoff games that saw the club win the league title – he took some time to adjust to the faster, more physical junior A hockey circuit. But as the season progressed, so did Rizzo. Over the final 12 games, he notched two goals and eight assists. The five-foot-10 centre accumulated 13 goals and 26 assists over 50 games, then chipped in four goals and six helpers in 11 playoff contests.

“I thought it was a tough start to the season, just getting adapted and making the jump,” he said. “As the season went on, I thought I gained a lot of confidence, trusted in myself and my abilities and by the second half I was playing a lot better and producing a lot more.” Midway through the year, he got

Together on a line again, the two clicked and made a positive impression despite the team’s seventh-place finish.

finishing fourth in tourney scoring, while Rizzo netted a goal and three assists over five games, including a goal and an assist in a 4-2 tourneyending win over Sweden. “It was probably the best hockey I’ve played so far.There were definitely a ton of NHL scouts and a lot of people watching,” said Rizzo. “That’s always cool and gets you hyped up just that much more. (Against that) competition and the other kids you want to prove yourself, and it worked out great.” Although Penticton failed to defend its league title in the last BCHL playoffs, there were some important lessons learned and ones Rizzo aims to put into action as the club’s newly chosen captain for the upcoming season. He also committed to attend the University of North Dakota, beginning in 2019-20, a program that has helped the likes of Brock Boeser,T.J. Oshie, Zach Parise, former Penticton captain Tyson Jost and Jonathan Toews. “Just for me, the biggest thing is that (North Dakota) seem to develop NHL players better than anyone else. Just their history of winning and their record of developing (players) is surreal. I had a real good connection with all their coaches; they’re really good people and I got to know them a lot.”

The Byrne Creek Secondary student was joined on Team Canada by fellow Shasta Trampoline Team members Maja Bonham and Adin Brenner. Coming off a seventh-place showing at the Pacific Rim championships in Colombia, McLean converted all the momentum of the previous

That brings it back to a Canadian kid’s dream – of playing someday in the NHL.The draft last weekend was evidence of why boys sacrifice countless hours to hit the ice and the weight room, to have their name called and pull on an NHL team’s jersey. It’s still as big a motivator and inspiration for Rizzo as it was when he was 12 years old. He credits a host of coaches for helping him climb the ladder – guys like Bill Hunt, John Batchelor and Maco Balkovec provided guidance, inspiration and the occasional kick in the pants to keep him focused. The next year promises to be huge for the Burnaby native. Hockey has its own rewards, and winning is still goal No. 1. But it’s hard not to think about what that moment could be like after seeing friends and former teammates reach the podium on that one day. “That’s the dream and that’s the goal,” Rizzo said of the NHL draft. “It’s only a year away now, but it’s pretty scary when you’re watching it as a kid and the guys look so old, and now the guys (getting drafted) are only a year older than me. “It’s something I’ve worked for since I was a young age and something I’ve dreamed about, so hopefully I can hear my name next year.” meet – where he was the lone Canadian to advance to the finals – to finish top-three in Bolivia. Canada ended up with three gold, two silver and a bronze. The athletes’ next competition is the Canadian championships for trampoline gymnastics, July 4 to 8 in Lethbridge.

B.C. Bears ground Brits RAF rugby tour

The B.C. Bears held on to edge the touring British RAF rugby union team 23-19 in an exhibition match Saturday at U.B.C. It was the lone loss of a three-stop Canadian tour for the Brits, while the Bears earned the win through a grueling test in preparation for the Canadian Rugby championships later this summer.

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

B.C. home sales forecast revised, predicted to drop 17.7%

HOME SALES* Attached Detached

It’s not looking good for total B.C. home sales this year compared with last year, according to a forecast by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).

expected to drop 11 per cent this year compared with 2017, which is also a bigger decline than the previously predicted 7.1 per cent.

With a slow start to the year, the association had previously predicted an 11 per cent decline in B.C. resale transactions in 2018 compared with 2017. But with an even weaker spring market than expected, this figure has now been revised to a 17.7 per cent annual decrease.

Quebec and Nova Scotia are now the only two provinces expected to see home sales increase this year, compared with last year. Canada’s average sale prices are expected to drop 2.1 per cent in 2018, taking the average price of a home sold this year just below the $500,000 mark. The average price is then expected to increase in 2019 by 3.8 per cent, said CREA.

That’s the sharpest predicted decline of all the provinces and territories, with Ontario following at an expected 15.9 per cent drop.

HAPPY CANADA DAY! On behalf of City Council, I’d like to invite you to join us at this weekend’s three Canada Day celebrations. The City of Burnaby is proud of the role its citizens play throughout the year in making Canada a country known for its beauty and diversity. More than 100 languages are spoken here. All represent unique histories that we celebrate at city festivals, heritage sites and cultural events throughout the year.

SUNDAY JULY 1, 2018

In addition, more than 25 per cent of Burnaby is dedicated to green space, ensuring that all citizens have access to beautiful parks and open spaces.

DAY

We look forward to celebrating Canada – and Burnaby! – with all Burnaby citizens on July 1. Sincerely, Mayor Derek Corrigan
