Mayor Corrigan talks development in State of the City address

By Amber Shanahan amber@bbot.ca

MAY–JUNE 2016

On April 26, attendees gathered at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre to hear Mayor Derek Corrigan’s 2016 Burnaby State of the City Address, painting a very positive picture for the short and long-term future for the City.

“Our town centres are continuing to grow and prosper; and our exemplary practice of protecting green space, while developing walkable, transit-focused, high-density focal points – Metrotown, Edmonds, Lougheed and Brentwood – continues to strike a critical balance between development and preservation,” said Corrigan.

Noting, 2015 was the highest year to date for building permits reaching an astonishing $879 million, pushing the projected growth of the City to an additional 125,000 people Con’t on p.3

State of the City con’t from cover within the next 25 years.

In an effort to deal with the growing strain of housing affordability, 20 per cent of all contributions made from Burnaby’s Community Benefit Bonus Policy, will go directly into a fund to support housingrelated projects. So far, $2 million from that fund has gone to support 257 units of nonprofit housing, while later in the year, council has approved a new program making City lands available for non-market and co-op housing projects.

When speaking about the recent developments and growth in Burnaby’s 4 Quadrants (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds), Mayor Corrigan

Metropolis at Metrotown – Being Green is Always in Style

was excited to outline the application of new design throughout many of these routes, making Burnaby a more social and ecofriendly City.

The Mayor described that Metrotown Regional Town Centre, will be receiving more public art pieces featuring boulevards, street furniture and rain gardens.

While, Gilmore Station’s Master Plan is to integrate many new residential and commercial buildings, with the transit station, creating a vibrant gateway to Brentwood.

Brentwood is also making strides with the creation of the Willingdon Greenway, giving pedestrians and cyclists a four-metre-wide landscape, linking between Brentwood Town

Centre and Burnaby Heights complemented with public art.

The Lougheed Core Area Conceptual Plan, has received final adoption, and the community plan has been amended to reflect this new direction, by replacing the old Cameron Recreation Centre, with a new recreation centre, pool and a Library.

Finally, the Edmonds Town Centre Plan, is continuing to move forward with a focus on public facilities.

Another exciting project that will yield significant environmental benefits is the complete conversion of streetlights to LEDs. Burnaby is the first city in British Columbia to begin full conversion. So far, 1,900

streetlights have already been replaced in the southeast quadrant, and 4,000 will be converted in the southwest quadrant by the end of this year. This project is expected to be completed by 2018.

The City’s Energy Management Program continues to reduce energy consumption by 3-5 per cent each year, with a 5-year cumulative savings of $454,000 or 6.4 GWh which equals 584 households energy usage.

With Mayor Derek Corrigan, working closely with the business community and with citizens, it is clear Burnaby will continue being a great base for a brighter eco-friendly future. ¾

Pledge Success Story

By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca What got your organization thinking about sustainability?

As Burnaby’s largest retail and entertainment complex and third largest shopping centre in Canada, we’re committed to making a positive contribution to the community. We have integrated sustainable programs and practices for our shoppers, retailers, contractors and Metrotower Office Complex tenants, to make the mall and community a greener place for all of us to enjoy.

How did you decide what was most important to tackle first?

With 400 retailers and 29 million annual shoppers, we aim to continually improve our sustainable practices. This meant expanding our loading docks to have cardboard, paper, plastic, and glass recycling for retailers. As well, for our shoppers, we added separate paper and bottle recycling to our garbage stations throughout the centre.

During Spring 2015, we began working with our Food Court tenants with the implementation of designated back-of-house organic bins, which then were rolled out to all tenants.

How did the Metro Vancouver Organics Ban affect Metropolis at Metrotown?

During Fall 2015, four organic recycling stations launched in our busy, 1100 seat Food Court. We wanted to keep it simple for customers, so they just drop off their trays to one of the stations, and our team will separate the organics, plastics, paper, bottles/ cans, and waste items.

In October, we saw a 95% increase in the weight of our organics being composted, 124% increase in November, and 86% increase in December, over the prior year. Customers quickly embraced the new organics recycling system, and while the stations have been operational for less than a year, this already shows a monthly reduction of over 30,000 kilograms of organic material being diverted

from the landfill and properly composted.

What do you hope to achieve by making your business more sustainable?

We hope to continue to increase our diversion rate, to keep more recyclables and organics out of our landfills. Not only do we challenge ourselves to engage in eco-friendly activities, but we also support our partners and suppliers to do the same, including our large security and housekeeping teams. Concord Security’s Parking Division introduced the first multi-purpose parking enforcement electric vehicle used to patrol the large 8,000 stall parkade and surface lots, and Marquise Facilities, a division of Compass Group Canada, ensures all their cleaning chemicals are green certified and dispensed through a system that measure the portions to reduce wastage.

What are your next steps and goals?

Our next initiative, set to launch this

Spring, includes the addition of an organic recycling stream to all 80 of our waste receptacles in the common areas of the shopping centre.

What do you consider your biggest challenges?

With so many retailers, it can be challenging educating retail employees on the separation of various recyclable products, especially with the turnover of seasonal store staff. We aim to make the process simple and straight forward with communication in their Retailer Handbook, clear signage at the docks, and visits and education from mall management.

What was your motivation for joining the Pledge for a Sustainable Community and what have been its benefits?

We believe that by creating a green and more efficient retail and work environment, the more attractive the shopping experience

will be to our customers. As BC’s largest shopping centre, not only did we want to continually push to deepen our sustainability, but also share our best practices and have the opportunity to learn what is working well for others.

What other sustainable programs does Metropolis take part in?

Throughout the year, Metropolis participates in a number of sustainable events including National Sweater Day, Earth Hour, and Earth Day. Also, through the Community Investment Fund program, Metropolis is able to support a variety of local non-profit organizations on their environmental programs including community school gardens, seed and cooking classes, environmental education and community art. ¾

Graduating students from SFU Beedie School of Business, BCIT School of Business and Douglas College School of Business mingled with mentors, alumni, and program sponsors in an evening that celebrated and acknowledged the accomplishments of this year’s graduating group.

Students in the 2015/2016 group were invited for the first time to participate on 4 different committees, chaired by Access alumni. Each committee (Marketing and Communications, Not-for-Profit, Social, and Workshops) delivered programming allowing participating students to develop leadership skills and build new professional friendships.

Students graduating with distinction from this year’s program are then qualified to participate as Chairs for next year’s committees. Moving forward is the BBOT’s newly launched Young Professionals Network.
