YARN BOMB:

Betina Wheeler with the New Westminster Homelessness Coalition Society checks out a yarn-bombed tree in Moody Park as part of a special community walk for Homelessness Action Week Saturday. Members of the local Knit 1, Take 2 group volunteered more than 100 hours to create the yarnbombing project, which was designed in a way so it could be broken down into 10 scarves that would be gifted through a local service organization. Sadly, it went missing on the weekend. Organizers hope the scarves, which were connected like a blanket, are keeping someone warm. They’re also hoping to track down a knitted heart that was on the project. Anyone who sees the scarf/blanket or the heart can contact Courtney Pankratz of the Purpose Society, courtney.pankratz@ purposesociety.org. See more on the Homelessness Action Walk on page 13.

City still waiting on funding for ‘enhanced’ pool Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster needs an answer about grant funding by the end of the year if it’s going to build an enhanced replacement for the Canada Games Pool. The City of New Westminster has applied for a grant through the Canada Infrastructure Program to help fund the New Westminster Aquatic and Community Centre project.The city has been pursuing two design options for the facility – a community recreation facility and an enhanced facility that

includes the community features as well as components that allow for swim competitions. The project is set to move from the design phase to the construction phase early in 2020, which means the city needs to know whether its grant application to the federal and provincial governments is successful. Council has stated it would only proceed with construction of an enhanced facility if it receives a grant of at least $22.4 million. According to an Oct. 7 staff report, construction tendering will begin with initial site preparation

work once the final design documents are available, which is currently scheduled to be in November. Construction is scheduled to start following the first tender results, which are expected in late January or early February 2020. Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city has been told by the provincial government that grant announcements will come out by the end of the year, so that timing isn’t too out of sync with the city’s timeline. If grants are delayed a “matter of weeks,” he said it may be prudent for the city to wait to find out the outcome of the grant

application. Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said the project team has been positioning the project for having a high degree of flexibility with respect to its schedule. If needed, he said there are ways to advance the project by doing works such as site servicing, relocation of electrical services or installation of water and sewer connections before grants are awarded. “Those are works we are going to have to do regardless of whatever the ultimate facility looks like in

the end,” he said. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr has voiced concerns about the cost of delaying construction while awaiting news about the grant application. “Accelerating costs of construction, the provincial government tells us it’s one per cent a month,” he said. “The fact that we are able to do some of those works whether we get notification or not, we can actually start on that project – that should give us a little bit of comfort.”

City Beat ELECTION

Students want voting age lowered

Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

Politicians and youths are not engaging with one another as much as they could as Canada’s 43rd election looms, according to a pair of NewWestminster Secondary School students. But lowering the voting age to 16, a proposal from both the NDP and the Greens, would go a long way to help connect those two dots, said Grade 11 students Jane Lloyd and Marissa Myhre in a conversation with the Record about the current election. As it stands, both Myhre and Lloyd said they don’t feel heard by politicians, even with the historically young set of party leaders – Conservative and NDP leaders Andrew Scheer and Jagmeet Singh are both 40, while Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is 47. Lloyd, who said she is rooting for the NDP, took aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s participation in the September climate strike in Montreal. “I think it’s really stupid that Justin Trudeau walked in the Montreal strike, saying he supports these kids. But you’re the guy in charge; if you support them so much, why aren’t you changing your policies?” Lloyd said. “The stuff they say about Greta Thunberg,” she added, referencing the 16-yearold Swedish activist who in-

GEN Z: New Westminster Secondary students Jane Lloyd (left) and Marissa Myhre talk in a classroom at their school. The two recently spoke about their views of current Canadian politics and lowering the voting age. PHOTO DUSTIN GODFREY spired the global climate strikes, “the rich, old guys saying ‘Shut up; you’re just a kid.’ But she knows more than they do.” Myhre said being young “shouldn’t mean that you’re less knowledgeable” – in fact, she argues the opposite. “Frankly, the students today know more than the adults just because they’re currently learning.They haven’t been learning for years; our parents, they

haven’t been in school for 20 years, whereas we’re currently in school,” Myhre said. Students today, she said, are learning about Canadian politics and current affairs everyday in classes like social studies. While 16- and 17-yearolds have their whole lives ahead of them, older generations will not have to live as long with the consequences of their electoral deci-

sions, such as the effects of climate change-related policies, Lloyd added. Federally speaking, Lloyd said Indigenous rights and the environment are two of the issues most important to her. Provincially, she pointed to health care and schools, saying it “took so many years for (NWSS) to be rebuilt.” “There’s lead in the pipes, the school’s falling apart,

and it took them so many years to even give us the opportunity,” she said. Myhre spoke more about matters of provincial jurisdiction, pointing to mental health in the province. “The waiting lists, they’re six months long,” she said, adding that she doesn’t see enough on offer for students struggling with addictions, even as the province grapples with an overdose crisis.

Meet the candidates Still deciding who to vote for in the federal election? The Massey Victory Heights Residents’ Association is hosting the final allcandidates gathering of the 2019 election campaign in New Westminster-Burnaby tonight (Thursday, Oct. 17).The round-table discussion/meet-andgreet runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mount Zion Lutheran Church at the corner of 10th Avenue and Cumberland Street. The first hour features a chance to mingle and chat with candidates. Pizza from Gino’s Restaurant will be provided – so no need to make dinner.The actual meeting, which will take place from 7 to 8 p.m., is a roundtable discussion where candidates will be interspersed among residents at tables. Akin to sitting at the kitchen table and have a free-flowing discussion about politics with family and friends, the event gives residents a chance to ask any question they wish. All eight New Westminster-Burnaby candidates have told organizers they’ll be attending the meeting:Will Davis (Liberal); Suzanne de Montigny (Green); Hansen Ginn (People’s Party); Peter Julian (NDP); Neeraj Murarka (Libertarian); Ahmad Passyar (independent); Joseph Theriault (MarxistLeninist); and Megan Veck (Conservative).

Trentadue wants B.C. to develop ethics committee Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster councillor Mary Trentadue has been among the voices calling on Port Moody’s mayor to step down until his ongoing legal issues are resolved – a move he made Tuesday night. Following an investigation that began on Dec. 17, 2018, a special prosecutor approved a charge of sexual assault against Mayor Rob Vagramov in connection to an alleged assault in Coquitlam in 2015. He went on a leave of absence on March 29, the day it was announced he was charged with a single count of sexual assault, but he returned from his leave on Sept. 9.

“In my opinion, this is not an argument about whether someone is innocent or guilty. He is facing court challenges – that is a fact.That’s not a maybe or a ‘We’ll see.’ It’s definite,” Trentadue said. “He’s facing some very serious challenges, and I think you are a distraction if you continue to stay in your position while facing those. I think people are entitled to their day in court, absolutely, but I think the public has a hard time trusting politicians that continue to stay in a job and collect their pay and do the work when there is something very serious overshadowing them.” Trentadue believes it’s actions like this that erode the public’s trust in elected of-

ficials, so they should step away and deal with their legal challenges until they’re resolved. Last week, Port Moody council considered a motion by Coun. Diana Dilworth to ask Vagramov to resume his leave of absence. During a nearly two-hour delegation period, many speakers, including Trentadue, urged Vagramov to take a leave of absence until his legal issues are settled, while some said he should remain in office because people who are charged with a crime are innocent until proven guilty. “I know it’s not usual,” Trentadue said. “We don’t usually go to other councils and tell them or ask them what to do, but I just really felt that I needed to tell this

mayor that I am completely opposed to his coming back and that he really should step aside.” Trentadue also believes the provincial government should establish an ethics committee to develop a policy that would require an elected official to take a paid leave if charged with a criminal offence. Trentadue is the New Westminster city council’s representative to Metro Vancouver’s zero waste and liquid waste committees.Vagramov, who represents his community on the liquid waste committee, attended last month’s meeting, soon after coming back from his leave. “I just thought that is just not right, I should not

have to sit beside another politician who has been charged with sexual assault. He needs to deal with that,” Trentadue told the Record. “That is what led me to start wanting to speak out. Sadly, I don’t think politicians speak out enough about their colleagues. I think it’s time to do that. I don’t want to remain silent and suggest that ‘It’s not my business’ or ‘It’s up to him’ or anything like that. I think it is really important that we speak out and say that it’s wrong.” If a member of New Westminster city council were in a similar position, Trentadue said she would expect them to remain on a leave of absence until their legal issue was settled.

“Anybody in any position of trust would have to step down,” she said. “I think it’s really a shame that the province has not put in any kind of legislation to deal with this because this is not the first time it has occurred. I just feel like I can’t remain silent.” At the Oct. 8 meeting, Port Moody council voted 4-3 in favour of asking the mayor to step aside until his legal issues are resolved. On Oct. 15,Vagramov issued a statement saying he was going back on unpaid leave until the charges against him are cleared, and he expects to return to work in the next three or four weeks. –With files from the TriCity News

City New West to explore city’s connections to infamous Komagata Maru incident Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster will consider local connections to the Komagata Maru incident. Raj Singh Toor, vice-president and spokesperson for the Descendants of the Komagata Maru Society, is seeking the city’s support to commemorate the incident. His grandfather was among the 376 passengers on the vessel that arrived in Vancouver on May 23, 1914. “No food, water or medication was provided by the government, even though it was the government’s discriminatory law that prevented the passengers from disembarking,” he said. “Only the local Sikh community provided the passengers with food and water.” After two months “under the shadow of a military ship,” he said the Komagata Maru was forcefully sent back to India. “The British were ruling India at that time, and when the Komagata Maru arrived in India, British troops shot at the passengers,” he said.

“Around 20 people were killed on the spot. Many were injured, and the rest of them were put in jail for a long period of time, including my grandfather.” Toor was on hand when the provincial government apologized for this incident in 2008 and when the federal government apologized in 2016. According to Toor, New Westminster has a direct connection with the Komagata Maru incident, as some local families were among those who provided

passengers with food, water and medication and also tried to lease the ship in an attempt to keep it from being sent back to India. “I am wondering if the City of New Westminster can name a street or park in memory of the passengers of the Komagata Maru,” he wrote in a letter to council. “This would be greatly appreciated, not only by descendants of the passengers, and by all (of the) South Asian community in Canada, but by every Canadian who believes in treating all

humans with dignity and respect.” On Oct. 7, council approved a motion by Coun. Chinu Das to have staff do a report on the connection of New Westminster and the Komagata Maru incident, including documentation about support the local South Asian community offered to passengers. “That is a very sad chapter in the history of Canada,” she said. “To repair that, there has been apologies made by the provincial government and the federal government. I think that is something that we hold very dearly, that there was a formal apology. But is that really enough?” Das said she met with Toor, who gave her a glimpse into what it was like for passengers on the Komagata Maru and how Lower Mainland residents banded together to help those passengers. “That is a story that really needs to be told,” she said. Das said several historians have already done research on this issue. Once staff gets details about New West residents’

response to the incident, she said it would be appropriate

Opinion OUR VIEW

Mandatory voting, lower voting age ideas worth exploring It’s easy to be cynical and apathetic when the current Canadian political landscape is so deeply divided and so full of wedge issues and negativity. But as a newspaper that prides itself on covering elections at all levels of government, it’s a no-brainer that we would prefer people vote than give up their right. We understand it’s hard work learning about the different policies and candidates, and there are more fun things to do than watch

an all-candidates meeting – just ask our reporters. But when it comes to how government services are handled, it’s important to have a say, perhaps more so now than ever before. That’s why we support any effort to get people to the ballot box, whether it be mandatory voting, a statutory holiday to promote voting or free rides to the polls. Other countries feel the same way, according to a recent article by Research Co. pollster Mario Canseco that

documented Canada’s poor showing during recent federal elections and outlined ways to change it. According to Canseco, more than 20 countries have some form of compulsory voting. In Australia, for example, someone can get a $150 fine for not voting if they don’t have a good excuse; in Brazil, adults have to provide a voting receipt to access government services. We think it’s not a bad idea to tie voting to servic-

es in a way that directly reminds people why we have governments and elections in the first place. We also support lowering the voting age, and we disagree with the old trope that young people who don’t pay taxes don’t care about election outcomes.They do care about issues such as climate change and housing affordability, and policies made today on these issues directly affect them for years to come. Young people also work

hard on getting informed on the issues by soaking up information online. It’s time Canada got more proactive and made voting an important part of citizenship by requiring people to take the matter seriously. If you don’t want to see six candidates shouting over one another in a TV debate, we understand. But there are so many other ways to get information that is uniquely targeted to you. For example, the New Westminster Record has an

extensive library of stories, including both local and national coverage, at www. newwestrecord.ca/federalelection-2019. With just a little time and effort, you can inform yourself. And in the meantime, tell any politician or supporter who comes to your door that you appreciate the effort that they are making. Then be sure to get out and vote Oct. 21.

MY VIEW PEARL JOHNNY

Indigenous song rings true to me As a young Indigenous woman, I am moved by the song Life of a Native by Okema.This song represents parts of what we have learned about culture conflict and speaks on many different subjects that revolve around being an Indigenous person. The subjects that Okema mentions in this song are things that many First Nations people go through; things such as discrimination, colonization of our people and our cultural/traditional ways being suppressed. He speaks on residential schools, how we are having a hard time healing and being able to find out who we are as people with the society that we live in today. This song relates to culture conflict as it shapes how we as Indigenous people think and the way we deal with conflict. It changes our outlook on life because of the trauma that generations before us suffered when they were forced into residential schools. That alone took away who we are as people.We were told to live a certain way and stripped of our basic human rights. One of the things that I can personally relate to is the discrimination that comes along with being an Indigenous person. It is the feeling that I cannot be trusted or depended on. It is going into a store or public place and having security or store workers following and watching every move. It is people distancing themselves when around me because the sight of my skin

colour makes them uncomfortable. When I think about what Okema mentions in his song, I think of all of the things that come with it: colonialism, suppression and trying to heal from traumas – the experiences that come from growing up with parents who went through so much hatred, anger and pain. The way it completely tore my parents apart and changed who they are. Having parents who didn’t grow up on love is a whole new problem in itself. My parents have no idea how to deal with conflict and life in general.They were taught that their feelings were invalid. Growing up and living in that unhealthy mindset that residential schools put not only on my parents, but my people as well, have caused lifetime trauma and unhealthy ways of living.You cannot learn new things when you weren’t given the tools.The only thing that residential schools ever taught my parents is survival. What happened to them reflects on me. It was never physical, but it reflects in the things we could have learned, the knowledge we could have inherited. Instead, it is up to me to search for those things, when I don’t even know what I am searching for. It was never my parents’ fault. How could they teach us things that they never had a chance to learn? Pearl Johnny of theToosey First Nation is a student at the Justice Institute of B.C. in NewWestminster.

Connector causes controversy Frustration was reaching its boiling point among Connaught Heights residents fed up with the construction of the 10th Avenue Connector (Southridge Drive). In a letter to city staff in March, the area residents association said residents were sick of dust coming from a Ninth Avenue lane being used as a temporary road access for employees of the nearby Bombardier plant. Residents were also angry that a berm and a row of 20-foot cedars had been removed, leaving their homes exposed to the SkyTrain maintenance yard.They were also worried about the long-term impact on their neighbourhood.

Pick up more ‘depot’ items at curbside

I am going on strike from voting this election

Editor: There’s been a lot of anger in New West over the impending closure of the local recycling depot. But something that hasn’t been part of the discussion is this: why are some recyclable items picked up curbside, while others are not? (Many) New West residents ... live in multi-family residential, with very little extra storage space. We don’t have basements, sheds, garages or mudrooms in which to shove random stuff. Furthermore, such residents are much less likely to own cars. These factors make saving “depot items” which are technically recyclable, but not picked up curbside, highly impractical. In practice, this means “depot items” frequently go to the landfill by necessity (often accompanied by guilt for landfill-directing something that is “technically” recyclable). Perhaps “depot items” are those for which there is very little post-recycling commercial demand and so eliminating them from the curbside pickup is an intentional move to reduce supply. But in this case, we should ask whether they are worth recycling at all. If we treat these items as disposable, we may be encouraged to make prudent consumer decisions accordingly, avoiding their use in the first place. Either way, I think the city’s decision should be this: pick up “depot items” curbside, or scrap them from recycling programs altogether. Sarah Hogarth Rossiter, New Westminster

Editor: This federal election, I’ve decided to go on strike from voting. First of all, I know who’s going to get elected as MP for our riding (New Westminster-Burnaby). He’s likeable and I rarely disagree with what he has to say. But he’s going to win, and that makes voting for him, or voting for someone else, a useless gesture. Such is our electoral system. Thanks for nothing, Justin “we are committed to ensuring the 2015 election will be the last federal election using first-past-the-post” Trudeau. But even if I did have a choice, I’d find little incentive to vote for candidates of the main contending parties. I don’t take the decision not to vote lightly. I have two young children, am worried about the kind of world they will inherit, and want to see meaningful change. I know that if immediate and dramatic action is not taken, our planet will be significantly more degraded than it is now. None of the major political parties, however, are willing to speak plainly about the lifestyle changes that would be needed to turn things around. And even if one of them did, our electoral system would more or less discount my support. Therefore, I can only conclude that voting in this election would be a complete waste of time.

CUPE strike vote looms Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

The union representing the New Westminster school district’s support staff is expecting to hold a strike vote next week after the provincial bargaining body vetoed a locally negotiated agreement. Marcel Marsolais, president of CUPE Local 409, said the school district and the union had come to an agreement in June, which was ratified by union membership and approved by the school board. But the deal had to be approved by the provincial government’s accredited bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. “Unacceptably, they can veto anybody’s agreement, and that’s exactly what they did,” Marsolais said. “We’re appalled by the fact that these two levels of bureaucracy have had the right to interfere with what was bargained freely and in good faith, and it’s got to stop.”

After June 18 and into September, Marsolais said he hadn’t heard at all from BCPSEA, and when he did hear from the bargaining body, it was indirectly and only to indicate its position. Now, the matter is set to go to mediation for Oct. 22, with a strike vote scheduled to begin after that – unless a deal can be struck in mediation. Among the sticking points, Marsolais said BCPSEA was refusing to give an additional sick day per year for employees. For employees who only work during the school year, the number of sick days was agreed to increase to 16 days from 15 previously, while for 12-month employees, it increased to 18 days from 19. BCPSEA and the union also disagreed on how to use a fund intended to target local needs – of $7 million offered by the province, CUPE 409 is getting around $93,000.The money, which Marsolais said is coming from the province

for the first time in 19 years, is intended to help support staff in ways that will improve the education experience for students. Marsolais said CUPE wanted part of that to go to benefits for members on long-term disability, which he costed at around $5,000, and which he said has been successfully bargained at other locals. But he said BCPSEA claims that won’t benefit students’ education. “We argue that, in fact, anything we do for the people that support students, work with students and clean up after students is beneficial to student achievement,” Marsolais said. He said CUPE 409’s bargaining team made “somewhat of a concession” they believed would be acceptable to its membership, and they’re willing to work on smaller items like changes to the driving allowance. BCPSEA did not respond to a request for comment by deadline.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing healthcare across Canada. Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss. You can register to be part of this groundbreaking new hearing study by calling 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study *Wingfield, A., Tun, P. A., & McCoy, S. L. (2005).

City getting to work on budget Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster is fleshing out the details on how its strategic priorities and its finances will mesh in its budget. While all of city council’s strategic priorities are important, a staff report about the draft 2020 to 2024 capital plan said key areas now being emphasized include affordable housing, child care, reconciliation, climate action, public realm and sustainable transportation. The senior management team at city hall has reviewed the proposed capital program and wants to create a framework for evaluating and aligning council’s strategic priorities with a sustainable capital program. “A sustainable capital program is defined as a balance between the city’s ability to pay, its ability to deliver within the suggested time frames and current staff resources, and advancement across the various strategic priorities,” said a report

considered by council at a Sept. 30 workshop. The City of New Westminster kicked off the budget process with a workshop where it started to consider how to make its strategic plan into a reality – recognizing there are financial impacts. Colleen Ponzini, the city’s director of finance, said there’s “much more work to be done” to the budget. She said the public will have a chance to weigh in with their opinions on the options as they come forward for council’s consideration. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he feels it’s really important the city put a climate-impact lens on all of the projects being considered. He said a district energy project in Sapperton and a replacement facility for Canada Games Pool are both capital projects that would have “significant impacts” on reducing greenhouse gases. Mayor Jonathan Cote said he thinks climate change will blend into a

number of different areas of the budget. Coun. Mary Trentadue said there’s too much to be done for the city to do it all. “I am looking for that conversation where we talk about what we are not going to do,” she said. Ponzini said staff is currently at an “in between step” with this year’s budget and will be coming back to council to get more input. Once the city has a more defined capital program, Ponzini said the city will need to make sure it has the operating resources, particularly the staff, to do that work. She noted staff resources are part of the operating budget, which impacts the tax rate. “It is always an issue of concern for the public,” she said of tax increases. “We want to make sure we keep the rates down.” Ponzini said staff will have a better idea of the proposed 2020 tax in November or December, in advance of setting the tax rate next spring.

‘I just haven’t grown up yet,’ says Bateman Acclaimed Canadian wildlife artist is the keynote speaker at this weekend’s NewWest Seniors Festival Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Creativity is a thread that’s woven its way through artist Robert Bateman’s life since he was a youngster growing up in Toronto. Bateman, a naturalist and internationally renowned wildlife artist, is the keynote speaker at New Westminster’s 2019 Seniors Festival on Saturday, Oct. 19 at Century House.The theme of this year’s festival is the Creative Side of Aging. “I am going to be talking about my life story. I’m going to start with Toronto and go into a little bit of my various travels. It will be all over the map and all over my different opinions,” he says. “I start with a picture of Mark Twain. He said a number of things but one of the things he said is: Growing old is a question of mind over matter – if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.That is true. I definitely don’t mind that I am going a little slower these days.” Bateman, 89, was born in Toronto, where his love of nature and painting began.Toronto’s ravines, valleys, rivers and Lake Ontario provided fertile ground for the budding artist and naturalist. “The tributary of the Don River that I grew up on was right in our backyard.We had pollywogs and frogs, of course, in the stream, a painted turtle one time. It was a major migration route during spring and fall for the birds coming and going to the south, so the backyard would be full of birds, often exotic ones that were going to be going up north to nest,” he says. “It was a delightful place to grow up.” While Bateman always knew he’d be an artist, he pursued geography in university as he knew it would lead to wilderness trips in the summer. In the late 1950s, Bateman and his good friend Bristol Foster embarked on a 14-month trip in a Land Rover through Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Australia. “While he was shooting movies, sometimes I would sit and do a painting,” he recalls. “And sometimes I would sit and do a painting, only in words. It was just pay-

In fact I like them best before I start and they are just a gleam in my eye,” he says. “I do a few little thumbnail sketches, the size of a playing card, and work out what is the best composition. Then I start in on them.They are full of possibilities.” Bateman is currently working on a big project for a health centre in Omaha, Nebraska – a 12-foot long painting featuring about 100 sandhill cranes. “It’s one of the great nature events of the year when thousands of sandhill cranes come on their migration route from the Gulf of Mexico up to Northwest Territories.They hang out there,” he says. “Birgit, my wife, and I went to witness it.

into the rainy season – that’s the problem.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone opposed the variance. “I am trying to prioritize sleep and livability for residents in the neighbourhood, over the need of regional commuters to get through our city,” he said. Coun. Nadine Nakagawa said she’d like future requests of this type to include information about the number of people who could be potentially impacted by nighttime construction work. “Our staff is asking us to do this.These guys don’t mind doing it during the day and blocking all the traffic,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who supported the variance. “One thing to

remember is some of that traffic is our very efficient transit system that is going from SkyTrain to SkyTrain station. Some of that traffic is B.C. Ambulance to and from one of the biggest hospitals in the region.” Because a vote to grant an exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw ended in a tie vote, the request was defeated. Coun. Chinu Das, who was concerned the request sought a 19-day window to do five nights of work, put forward a motion that the variance cover 10 days.That motion resulted in a tie vote. “They don’t get a nighttime variance,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “They will do the work during the day.” Jim Lowrie, the city’s di-

MHW6630HC/YMED6630HC

New Westminster city council have rejected a plan that would have allowed construction to take place near the Brewery District at night – even though it was requested by city staff. Council recently considered a request for a construction noise bylaw exemption that would allow crews to lay electrical conduit along Brunette Avenue from Keary Street to Spruce Street as part of the Wesgroup construction project. Had the request been approved, crews would have been able to do the work on five separate nights between Oct. 7 and 25. During that timeframe,

three nights of work would have been done between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., at which time southbound traffic along Brunette would have been limited to one-lane only. Kim Deighton, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said the engineering staff were concerned about work being done on a major route during the day on a busy commuter route. “In terms of cost and convenience to them, the day is preferable. I get the sense they are flexible,” she said about the contractor. “It’s the weather that is the limiting factor. It’s really playing dice with what the weather will be for that period of time.We are going

Walt and JudiWeaver have made a sixfigure commitment through theW JWeaver Foundation towards Royal Columbian’s $1.49-billion redevelopment.The donation to the foundation by has been made in support the construction of a pediatric/family waiting area in a new ER. Walt was born at Royal Columbian, while Judi once worked in the hospital’s medical imaging and medical records departments. Their three children and eight grandchildren were all born at Royal Columbian. “With this gift, we would like to honour our deep roots to the community and its people,” saysWalt, who lives in Coquitlam. “We would like to ensure those who require

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2020, following completion of the new mental health and substance use wellness centre that is part of phase 1 of redevelopment.

PUBLIC HEARING

LET’S TALK

6:00PM

Anonymous Art Show Public Viewing

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An application has been received to remove Heritage Conservation Area protection from 318 Fourth Street, a 1908 house in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. The removal of heritage protection from the house requires an Official Community Plan amendment. The application was evaluated based on criteria related to heritage merit, development potential, and building condition and integrity. The evaluation supports reclassification of the house to a non-protected status in the Heritage Conservation Area. Should the application be approved, and the amendment bylaw adopted, the house at 318 Fourth Street could then be modified or demolished without further heritage-related approvals. However, any new house built on the property would be required to meet the requirements of the area’s Design Guidelines and the Zoning Bylaw.

Arts & Entertainment Event talks art and social change Fringe returns for new fall shows How can the arts inspire social change? That’s the subject of a lunchtime discussion set for Tuesday, Oct. 22 at New Westminster City Hall. It’s set to run from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the council chambers, hosted by the New Westminster Community Poverty Reduction Committee. The event will feature

a panel discussion with Mary Campbell, development coordinator for Lookout Housing and Health Society, which runs an annual H’Arts for the Homeless fundraiser; Stephen O’Shea, executive director of the Arts Council of New Westminster; Oana Capota, curator of the New Westminster Museum; and Alan Hill, the City of New West-

minster’s poet laureate. Their discussion will look at how the arts can be used as a force for good and in promoting social equity. A light lunch is included. It’s free, but register ahead at www.eventbrite. ca (search for How the Arts Can Inspire Social Change in New Westminster, or use a direct link at www.tinyurl. com/ArtsSocialChange).

New Westminster’s fringe theatre favourite,Way OffBroadway Wednesdays, has returned for another season at the Heritage Grill’s back room. On Oct. 23, fringe favourite Al Lafrance returns with Is ThisYours? Fresh from a successful première at the Edmonton Fringe this summer (in fact, the Edmonton Journal de-

scribed it as “simply one of the best shows of the year”), Is ThisYours? is described as “a hitchhiker’s guide to humanity that explores the surprising ripple effects our stuff leaves behind for strangers to find, cherish and claim.” On Oct. 30, you can enjoy what’s billed as “the freakiest improv you’ll ever see” with Whose Afraid of the

Dark Anyway? All shows start at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Heritage Grill is at 447 Columbia St. Reservations are recommended; call 604-759-0819. All shows are on a paywhat-you-want basis. Follow @wayoffwed on Facebook,Twitter or Instagram for more information.

NEW WEST

Festival ‘speaks to people’ When you sit down to enjoy a show at the New West Film Fest this year, keep in mind all the volunteers who chose those movies for you. They watched dozens of submissions in order to choose the lineup you’re going to enjoy at Landmark Cinemas at New West station for this year’s festival, running Oct. 18 to 20. That’s a lot of viewing time. But for New West Film Society board member Craig Hopkins, it’s all worth it to pull together the best possible lineup. “It’s a process of viewing the films and finding what speaks to people,” he said. This year’s festival kicks off Friday night with a 7 p.m. screening of Sawah, a comedy from Luxembourg that tells the story of a DJ from Cairo who’s on his way to play the gig of a lifetime when his plane is rerouted to Luxembourg, where he loses his passport

and is mistaken for a refugee. It’s running in tandem with the Norwegian short film The Funeral. The screening will be followed by an opening night gala party, running from 9 to 11 p.m., where film lovers can mingle with filmmakers over food and drink. Saturday features a pair of documentary screenings. At 5:30 p.m., audiences can check out Apex Survival: MaidenVoyage, the story of a global organization of shark experts and conservationists, running in tandem with the Canadian short Plant Some Trees And Go From There. At 7 p.m., it’s the Canadian short film Asleep, about a photojournalist covering the war in Syria, along with the feature-length SoldiersWithout Guns.The documentary follows soldiers from New Zealand who were sent into the middle of a 10-year civil war on a Pacific Island without guns – armed only with “music, Maori culture and love,” as a film synopsis says.

PUBLIC HEARING

LET’S TALK

OCT.

Arts & Entertainment “I had no idea this actually happened,” Hopkins said, noting it was a reminder to him of how festival entries can continue to surprise him, year after year. “This year we had some really interesting films.” A first for this year’s festival will be a late-night After Dark Showcase, running at 9 p.m. Saturday, which features three “creepier, scarier, eerier” films – two shorts from Canada and a featurelength film, BlurredVision, from Denmark. Hopkins noted the showcase is a first for the festival. It’s an effort by organizers to find a way to screen some of the films that are well done and well worth seeing but that may be just a little too dark for the festival’s general audiences. Sunday will feature the festival’s popular shorts collection at 2 p.m., featuring documentaries, comedies and dramas, with a filmmaker Q&A. Continued on page 27

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An application has been received to rezone 837-841 Twelfth Street from Community Commercial Districts (Medium Rise)(C-2A) to Comprehensive Development District (CD-88). The proposed rezoning would allow the development of a five storey multiple unit residential building with 29 strata residential units and an overall density of 2.13 Floor Space Ratio. The proposed development would include townhouse style units at the ground floor of the building with apartment units on the upper levels. 51 offstreet parking spaces would be provided in underground parking accessed from the lane on the south side of the properties in compliance with the Zoning Bylaw requirements. The proposed building would be built as an energy efficient building to BC Energy Step Code level four. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

THE STRANGER THINGS KITTENS

These kittens were found with their mother on a patio when they were just about a week old. They are growing fast and looking for their new homes now! Some have been adopted, but there are still a few left! The kittens were born approximately August 9. They are pretty confident and outgoing kittens. Of course, they are playful and rambunctious. Kittens get bored and lonely if they’re home alone while all the humans are gone to work and school. So we will give preference to homes who are interested in adopting a pair, who already have a friendly feline or canine buddy, or who are not gone all day. The kittens have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

BANDITA, 7 YRS

Bandita was surrendered due to severe allergies in her family. Bandita is large and in charge! She was 20 lbs when she first arrived, but has already lost a few pouds, thanks to a weight-loss kibble.Bandita has really shown us that she is a funny, quirky girl. She loves to wait by the front door to greet people and likes to follow them around as well. She is very curious about what is going on around her, and has settled in our office quite nicely. She would like to be the only child in her home (of the human or fur variety).

Rihanna is a lively, friendly bunny, approximately 10 months old. She is looking for a home that will make her part of the family as bunnies are social little creatures. Rihanna enjoys having lots of space to run around, and toys to play with. She is very good about using her litter-box. She is curious and friendly, wanting to greet humans who come to visit her. Rihanna has been vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Meet Rihanna at Bosley’s in Columbia Square, New Westminster.

LAVINIA & SUZETTE

A pair of lovely adult rats. The girls are approximately 11 months old now, and are a bit shy but very curious. They love their double-level cage and really love getting treats like yogurt from their humans. Rats are awesome pets and typically enjoy human companionship. Adoption fee is $12 for the pair.

STEVIE, 15 MOS

Stevie is still a puppy at 15 months old. She is a Pungsan dog, which is a rare Korean hunting breed. We were told she was kept mainly outdoors at her original home, so she is still learning about life in general. When she warms up to you, she is very loving and goofy. If scared by a person, she prefers to try and leave the situation. We do not think children would be a great fit for this girl as she is still gaining confidence. While every dog is an individual, the Pungsan breed is not known for getting along with other animals. Also, Pungsan dogs will show prey/chase drive with small animals. Stevie was surrendered to the shelter because she was not getting along with the resident dog. While with us, she showed a very positive attitude toward one male dog, and a very negative attitude toward another. We will likely be looking for a solo-pet home for Stevie. Pungsan dogs need a good amount of physical and mental exercise to be happy, and may wander if given the opportunity. A secure, fenced yard for supervised outdoor time is a must. Please research the breed and phone us at 604-519-2008 to discuss Stevie. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

MIcHELLE DuggAR

Like her namesake, she has had quite a few babies in her life. Prior to coming to us, she lived primarily outdoors, left behind by her owner. A neighbour fed her and watched her have litter after litter outside. Finally, he was able to rescue her just days before she gave birth yet again. She’s finished raising her last litter of kittens and is ready to find her own purrfect home. Michelle has really blossomed into a gorgeous, healthy, affectionate kitty! She is the kind of cat who likes a great hiding spot, but will come out when you call and give you lots of purrs and headbutts. Given that she can be a bit shy, we think older kids/teens or adults only would be best for her. She could be adopted with one of her kittens, or possibly into a home with a friendly feline. Michelle has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Proudly sponsored by

KELLY, 8#10 YRS

A gorgeous tortoiseshell mature adult kitty who was found as a stray. We estimate her to be 8 - 10 years old. She is now fully vetted and ready to find a home to spoil her. Although Kelly loves a good snooze in the sunshine, she is agile and active. She loves to play with wand toys to ‘hunt’. Kelly will come up to you and ask for pets, but since she can get moody if over-handled, she would do best in an adult-only home. She is not thrilled with the other cats at the shelter, and canine pals are also out of the question as she can be quite unhappy around dogs. A home where she gets to be the sole pet would be best. Kelly has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and even had a dental cleaning.

BEYONCE, 2.5 YRS

Beyonce was found hopping around in a park, which is not a very good idea! She was fortunate to be rescued before something awful happened to her. She loves zooming around her enclosure and eagerly greets human visitors. Beyonce really enjoys scratches on her head, loves her greens and hay, and pushing around her pelletfilled treat ball. She can sometimes be irritated with overhandling so we think no little children for this girl. Beyonce has been vaccinated for the Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) and has been spayed and microchipped. She is approximately 2.5 years old. Meet Beyonce at the Bosley’s in Columbia Square, New West. Adoption information, including our application form, can be found here: https://www.newwestcity.ca/ services/animal-services/animal-shelter

drawing parallels with our human world: physical laws, the laws of gravitation, matter and light, the physics of motion, and societal psychologies and behaviours.” The release notes the show presents “fascinating catalogues and overlaying systems of symbolic language.” “The purposeful demoli-

BADMINTON

Pair earn Best of B.C. nods Susanto named top volunteer

You get what you put in – and for people like Al Mawani and Herman Susanto, the rewards of their hard work comes back in players’ smiles and results. The two were among the recipients at the recent Best of B.C. Awards by Badminton B.C. at a ceremony held last month. They were joined by Shuttlesport Badminton Academy’s Joy Liu as the junior athlete of the year, selected over 40 other nominees. Liu was recognized for her play and dedication this year, which culminated with her capturing the under-13 singles girls crown. Burnaby’s Mawani, founder and driving force of Shuttlesport, was one of seven up for the High Performance Coach award. He said the honour – along with Shuttlesport earning the club of the year award – was something that should be shared with many. “Our program has grown ever since we decided to move to a dedicated facility (in Port Coquitlam),” said Mawani. “It’s real great to have (the recognition) because the success of the club involves everybody, from staff, coaches, parents and players.” Susanto, meanwhile, picked up the Volunteer of theYear prize.The New Westminster native has been a strong supporter of his son Nicholas’ career, which saw the youth win the 2018 u13 boys title and be among the 41 nominees for this year’s top junior award, and has been active in assisting others. “Herman is a very quiet individual,” said Mawani. “He’s in the background helping kids by sitting on (parents) committee, and helping run the Rising Stars circuit.”That circuit helps give players a chance to compete in a high level tournament setting, which for many, is a first-time opportunity. Liu was fully deserving of the special honour, her coach noted. “Joy’s just 12 years old but she’s won the (u13) title and now moved on to u15,” he said. “I feel if she stays disciplined and keeps working hard, she has a bright future.” One-time head coach of Douglas College’s badminton team, Mawani shifted gears when Douglas’ athletic department dropped the sport. He launched Shuttlesport in 2000 and moved it to PoCo in 2014.
