Night construction for SkyTrain coming our way Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
If you notice nighttime noise around two New West SkyTrain stations in December and beyond, here’s why. City council has granted an exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw to TransLink, so it can replace the rail pads and running rails on the SkyTrain guideway between the 22nd Street and
New Westminster stations. A staff report states that, when possible, noisy work will be done during daytime hours, but some work can’t be done during the city’s permitted construction hours due to impacts on customers. “The nighttime work will be conducted Sunday through Thursday nights for approximately 100 nights on an intermittent basis in various sections along the tracks between the 22nd Street

station and the New Westminster station,” said the report. “On infrequent occasions, additional work days may be added to hasten the process.” TransLink’s contractor will also take steps to try and mitigate the noise related to the work. Letters will be send to residents who will be impacted by the work to inform them of upcoming work. The exemption approved by council will allow the work to be
done from Dec. 2 to 24, 2019 and from Jan. 2 to Dec. 24, 2020. A staff report states TransLink has requested a year-long exemption because projects of this magnitude often have unforeseen delays. “TransLink maintains and operates the original Expo SkyTrain Line, which has been in service since 1986 carrying more than two million trains. Beginning in December 2019 and projected to continue to June 2022,Trans-
Link is replacing worn running rails and rail pads throughout the Expo Line in New Westminster,” said the staff report. “As part of the TransLink maintenance and repairs program, these improvements will ensure the Expo Line is safe and reliable for years to come.” These exemptions are related to Phase 1 work, with Phase 2 expected to take place between January 2021 and January 2022.

HOUSING
Arts community applauds ‘affordable’ rentals Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Members of New Westminster’s arts community are giving a standing ovation to a new housing project that’s getting underway. Work is getting underway this month on a project at 831 Carnarvon St., which includes 204 market condominiums in the 32-storey Ovation building and 66 non-market rental units in the eight-storey PAL New Westminster building. The project is aiming to be complete in the summer of 2022. PAL New Westminster will include 25 studios and 41 one-bedroom units for those from arts-oriented professions with low to moderate incomes, with priority going to seniors and people with disabilities. “It’s a huge weight off your shoulder,” actor Russell Roberts said of having affordable housing. “You have a place to live.” Roberts, a longtime New West resident, is thrilled that New Westminster has embraced this project.While he and wife Colleen Winton, who is also an actor, have a home, he said many who
work in the performing arts aren’t as fortunate. “The opportunity to be supported in a housing community is immense,” he said. Some people who work in the performing arts may not be able to collect EI when they’re not working, and some may not have pensions. “I have been in the business over 40 years. I think my RRSP is worth $1,800 because I have to keep cashing it in to pay rent or mortgage or bills, or whatever,” Roberts said. “I’ll be very honest here, from November of 2018 to August of this year, I had no work. I had no work; I had no income.” Roberts said the community will benefit from PAL’s presence in New West. “It’s an amazing place for artists to be,” he said. “We do go out into the community, we do interact, we do give classes.We go into the local arts community and do shows.” Stephen O’Shea, executive director of the Arts Council of New Westminster, said it’s great to see a private developer, various levels of government and a

non-profit working together to provide housing for retired people in the performing arts. “There is no pension plan.There is really no thought ahead because we are so busy and involved in the work we do.We are so passionate about the art itself that sometimes there isn’t always a Plan B or a backup plan for where we retire,” he said. “It is not a sector that is known for paying all that well unless you are in the top 1%.”
O’Shea thinks there are “huge opportunities” for mentorship and intergenerational programming when PAL comes to town. “I think we are going to see a lot of cool performances and a lot of new art created because of this partnership,” he said. “There are lots of programming opportunities between the arts council and PAL in the future. I can’t wait.” PAL Vancouver, a nonprofit organization established in 2001 to provide
long-standing members of performing arts professions with affordable housing in a vibrant community, will be the operator. “It is widely acknowledged that the work done by arts and culture professionals enriches our communities and that housing affordability is an acute challenge for many who work in the arts,” said Mike Klassen, board president of PAL Vancouver. “With the generous support of our partners, many people from this important cultural sector will have access to affordable housing in New Westminster’s vibrant downtown neighbourhood.” Vintop Development Corporation is contributing $2 million to the project. LukeYu, president of Vintop Development Corporation, said Vintop Development and Domus Homes are proud to partner with BC Housing and the City of New Westminster to bring the Performing Arts Lodge (PAL) to New Westminster. “We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to develop Ovation and performing artists’ living space with BC Housing,”
he said in a press release. “It has been our honour to be able to contribute towards housing for artists who have been persistently pursuing their dreams their entire lives.” The province is providing $7.4 million to help build the eight-storey building, “This unique project will give people in our community the peace of mind that comes with safe and secure housing – something that every British Columbian deserves,” said New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy. “It is a great example of how, working with community partners, we can build affordable homes for people from all walks of life across B.C.” Darcy said the project is one piece of the provincial government’s plan to address the housing crisis. She said the government is working hard to create more opportunities for affordable housing and to provide a diversity of housing. In March 2018, city council approved Domus Home’s rezoning application for 813 to 823 Carnarvon St.

Official Community Plan Amendment (Removal of Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area Related Protection from Seven Properties) Bylaw No. 8156, 2019 WHAT IS THIS BYLAW ABOUT? As part of developing the Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area policy 86 houses were placed in a temporary protection category for the purpose of a “Special Limited Study”. Based on analysis of heritage merit, development potential, and building condition, at this time, removal of heritage protection for seven properties (209 Fifth Avenue, 419 Oak Street, 118 Queen’s Avenue, 117 Regina Street, 308 Regina Street, 125 Third Avenue, and 211 Third Avenue) is proposed. This requires an Official Community Plan amendment. Should the amendment bylaw be adopted, the houses could be modified or demolished without further heritage-related approvals. Any new house built on these properties would continue to be required to meet the Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area Design Guidelines for new construction and Zoning Bylaw requirements. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? From November 08 to November 25, 2019, read the bylaw and related material in the Planning Division at City Hall: Mondays between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm and Tuesdays through Fridays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm except statutory holidays, and online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices.

City consults public on entrances Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster is opening the door to input on separate entrances and spaces in mixed-tenure buildings. In September, council endorsed some interim guidelines to be used in situations where separated common areas are included in mixedtenure projects. Council also approved a work plan for the development on a policy regarding shared and separate entrances and common areas. “We do have an inclusionary policy. As part of that inclusionary housing policy, we will see far more instances where you are going to have mixed-tenure developments – a strata development with either mar-
ket or non-market rental components,” said John Stark, the city’s supervisor of community planning. “Typically, in the past, it would either be a strata building or a rental building.The whole thing of shared or separate entrances wouldn’t even be a consideration because they would be separate buildings.” As a result of the inclusionary housing policy and the city’s efforts to get more affordable housing through voluntary amenity contributions from developers, more buildings will have mixedtenure. The city is inviting residents to provide input on the policy about shared and separate entrances/common areas at an open house on Wednesday, Nov. 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Centu-
ry House. Earlier this year, council considered and approved an Uptown highrise development that included separate entrances and amenity areas for strata and rental units. While the majority of council members said they understood the developer’s rationale, which centred around its ability to properly maintain the rental component it will continue to manage and maintain once the development is built, council members and citizens also voiced concerns about creating so-called “poor doors” and stigmatizing folks living in the rental units. “There are definitely strong opinions on both sides, but I think by having the discussion and hearing different points of view,
BETTER MEALS
maybe there is some common ground that can be reached, or at least some understanding,” Stark said. “It’s definitely not black and white.Whether it is a developer, a non-profit housing provider, a funder or a building resident, they all have different perspectives. I think it’s our job to kind of to be able to listen, to summarize those perspectives and hopefully come up with a policy which addresses some of the significant concerns but maybe has some flexibility. I don’t want to presuppose the outcome because we haven’t had either the stakeholder or the public session yet.” In addition to an open house, the city is having an invitation-only session with stakeholders on Nov. 21.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing g 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 The season of giving is upon us – here’s how to help out Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
It may only be midNovember, but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. For many folks, Christmas is the season for giving – to those they love and to the community.The Record has been receiving lots of emails about a variety of ways people can help those in need this season. Here are a few to get you started: BE A CARING NEIGHBOUR The Caring Neighbour program helps spread Christmas cheer to families and seniors who are struggling with financial hardships or isolation. Family Services of Greater Vancouver is organizing the annual program, where families, workplaces, teams, churches or schools can register to be matched with a family or senior. Family Services will provide donors with the recipient’s holiday wish list, and they buy gifts and deliver them to the family or senior’s home in December. If people don’t have time to shop and deliver gifts, they can also support the program by making a financial gift online – and let someone else do the work. For folks who are interested in sponsoring a family or a senior, Family Services recommends $100 to $120 per person in each sponsored family – with about half of that amount to be spent on gifts and the other half on food for the holidays. Details and registration are available at fsgv.ca/ caringneighbours/newwestminster. PLAY SANTA FOR A SENIOR The Santa for Seniors program is getting underway for another year and hoping to put some smiles on the faces of local seniors. The Seniors Services Society is organizing the annual Santa for Seniors program, which delivered Christmas presents to about 150 seniors last year. It’s anticipating it will provide even more gifts this year to seniors who may be isolated or alone. Between Nov. 18 and Dec. 13, you can visit one of the participating stores and look for a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments. You can pick an ornament, shop for the gift(s) indicat-

ed on the ornament and leave the unwrapped gifts at the stores’ customer service desks – as Seniors Services Society staff and volunteers will do the rest. Ornaments will be found at London Drugs (555 Sixth St.),Your Dollar Store with More (811 Carnarvon St.) and Save-On-Foods Sapperton (270 East Columbia St.). FLIPPING FOR PANCAKES You have a chance to enjoy a yummy breakfast – and bring some joy into the lives of local children and youth. The annual Toy Drive Pancake Breakfast returns to the Paddlewheeler Pub in River Market on Wednesday, Dec. 4 from 7 to 10 a.m. Admission is by monetary donation or an unwrapped toy, with a value of $15 and up, for a child from ages zero to 16. The Lower Mainland Purpose Society and New West Family Place host the annual event.The Paddlewheeler is at 810 Quayside Dr. SMELL THE PINE OR FIR Aunt Leah’s Place is celebrating the silver anniversary of its Christmas tree lots. The non-profit, which runs programs aimed at preventing children in foster care from becoming homeless and mothers in need
from losing custody of their children, has been running Christmas tree lots for 25 years. In the years since the original lot opened, the New West-based organization has expanded to six tree lot locations. This year, Aunt Leah’s needs as many as 500 volunteers for shifts between Nov. 21 and Dec. 23 at the six locations. Shifts are typically four hours, and volunteers have access to a heated tent as well as water, tea and hot water. “Families, individuals and work or faith groups are all welcome,” said a notice from Aunt Leah’s. “It’s also an opportunity for teenagers looking for volunteer hours to complete their graduation requirements, although the minimum age is 15 to participate unless you’re with a family.” While there is no tree lot in New West, Aunt Leah’s has lots in Coquitlam and Burnaby, as well as three in Vancouver and one in North Vancouver. Aunt Leah’s initiatives include housing, financial help, life skills and emotional care. To volunteer, see aunt leahs.org/treelotsignup or contact Hope Rayson at 604-525-1204 (extension 252) or hrayson@auntleahs. org.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Another supportive housing myth has been busted The BC NDP government has set the gold standard when it comes to building new housing to get people off the streets. And while the targets the government has set for how many projects it can complete are reportedly a bit behind, we are applauding the progress that has been made so far. One problem that some cities have faced – leading a few to nix supportive housing projects – are citizens opposing the projects on the
grounds that they negatively impact area land values. Now, as bad as it is that people are more concerned about their own land values than they are about people dying on the streets from not having a place to live, it’s also not necessarily true. The construction of shelters and supportive housing doesn’t have a negative impact on surrounding land values, according to the summary of a new BC Housing study. The report looked at
more than a dozen facilities across the province and found that median assessed property values in the areas around the sites tracked consistently with the municipal average. Of the 13 facilities examined, two areas saw decreases in land values while, in four areas, values grew faster than the average while the rest mirrored the citywide trend. “This suggests the introduction of non-market housing, such as supportive
or affordable rental housing, does not affect residential property values,” the report stated. The study’s findings dispel a notion BC Housing said is often put forward when such projects are introduced that non-market housing projects will hurt real estate prices. For example, in the 200-metre radius surrounding one project in Coquitlam, there are 39 properties that increased in median value an aver-
age of 40 per cent between 2015 and ’18, while the 361 properties within a 500-m radius rose 41 per cent.The increases are consistent with the 44-per-cent rise in property values seen across Coquitlam during the threeyear period, the report stated. Other cases showed the property values surrounding non-market housing facilities increased at a faster rate than the municipal average. Residents within 200 m of Alouette Heights in Ma-
ple Ridge, for example, saw their median assessments rise 84 per cent between 2012 and ’17, during a period when the municipality saw a 72-per-cent average increase. This is good news for anyone in New Westminster worried about the new supportive housing project that is underway in Queensborough or the future projects that are planned.
MY VIEW MARIO CANSECO
People don’t trust their neighbours The phrase “we are a nation of laws” has been used extensively to describe Canada on different occasions, including the observation of extradition requests, the development of immigration and refugee policies and even the performance of politicians. But while we are quick to point to certain traits that make us different from other countries, there are specific regulations that not everybody is adhering to. When Research Co. recently asked Metro Vancouverites about the residents of their cities, just under two-thirds (63%) described most of them as people who “definitely” or “probably” follow existing laws. Only one in five Metro Vancouverites (21%) claim that most residents of their city do not care about rules. Women (23%) are slightly more likely to believe that their municipality is plunging into a state of lawlessness than men (19%). Residents of Burnaby (26%) and Surrey (25%) are also more cynical about the residents of their communities than those who live in Vancouver (15%) and other municipalities in the Lower Mainland (21%). The survey also sought to find out what types of law-breaking are more likely to anger Metro Vancouverites.When queried about their immediate reaction to witnessing 12 different behaviours that are prohibited, residents are exceptionally irritated by humans who forget to clean up after themselves and their pets. Almost three in four Metro Vancouverites say they
become upset when they see people littering (73%) or dog owners who do not pick up dog waste (also 73%). A slightly smaller proportion (67%) are annoyed by people who throw cigarette butts on the ground. There is also anger directed towards careless motorists, with 72% of Metro Vancouverites saying they are incensed when they see a person using a hand-held cellphone while driving and 70% who feel the same way when somebody chooses to park in a handicapped spot without a valid decal. The resentment of Metro Vancouverites towards drivers also appears when we witness other instances of lawbreaking, such as speeding on a municipal road or street (65%) or when a person who is driving or riding in a car decides not to wear a seatbelt (61%). It is not surprising to see that Metro Vancouverites aged 55 and over are significantly more likely to get angry after witnessing these behaviours than their younger counterparts – although some irritation is practically universal in every age group and city. Reversing this trend must begin with taking a look at our own conduct and showing our entire community the respect it deserves. Results are based on an online study conducted Oct. 24–27, 2019, among 700 adults in Metro Vancouver. The margin of error, which measures sample variability, is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Mario Canseco is president of Research Co.

Paramedics in crash Paramedics rushing to help an elderly pedestrian who had been hit by a car ended up in a crash of their own and with another patient to treat in July. An ambulance was dispatched after an 85-year-old New Westminster woman was hit. She had been crossing Eighth Avenue in a crosswalk at Cumberland Street. As the ambulance – traveling eastbound on Eighth with lights and sirens – got within sight of the accident, heavy traffic in the eastbound land forced it to use the westbound lane.That’s when it collided with a Toyota trying to turn left on Colborne Street.

Family treated fairly Editor: Re: Family unfairly treated, Record letters, Nov. 7 I’m sorry also. I’m sorry that Mr. Preovolos wasn’t with me on the Queens Park Heritage Study Working Group, which spent four-plus years crafting a Heritage Conservation Area. He would have seen the evolution of an adopted HCA which was supported by a majority of homeowners, his neighbours, in Queens Park. He would have appreciated the effort the QPHSWG put in to develop the incentives for properties like his house at 318 Fourth St. that, although it scored low on heritage merit, has great potential to develop the property by using the incentives, thus saving the house. The residents who supported the HCA did not want a collection of “faux heritage” houses because what makes Queen’s Park unique is its real-built heritage, mature trees, landscape and streetscape, and there is an understanding amongst many homeowners that the trade-off is old electrical wiring, lack of insulation, drafty windows and creaky floors. Rats on the other hand, are in every part of Metro Vancouver. This neighbourhood is made up of all shapes, sizes and ages of older homes, not just the grand homes. I’m sorry that Mr. Preovolos thought he was the villain in the eyes of those who spoke against his application. Those who spoke were more disappointed that an owner would prefer to demolish a home rather than explore the incentives which could provide an avenue to make changes to the living space but retain the streetscape. The rules are very clear. Everybody has the right
to apply for a change in their house category in the HCA. Whether supported by staff or not, the applicant can take their case to the council for a final say. The reason for the public hearing is to also give the neighbourhood a chance to speak and that’s what they did. That is democracy at work. This didn’t smack of bad faith as you stated – this is the procedure you have to follow, and in this case it was a win for the neighbourhood and all the work put in by the QPHSWG.

Depot worth saving Editor: An open letter to Mayor Jonathon Cote and city councillors, I read today with pride that once again New Westminster’s City Council has taken a leading position on an issue of major importance in our province and our country: dealing with climate change. Regrettably, I fear that such a bold initiative will be seriously overshadowed by council’s recent decision to eliminate our local recycling depot. If you continue your path to relocate the recycling depot, you may find that a revitalization of those political constituencies will rise up against your decision. At the end of the day, this will not be good for New Westminster. During the last election I voted for many of you on council today. You’ve done a good job on many issues over the past year. I urge you to reverse this decision and look for an alternative to keep our recycling depot in the city. Blair Armitage, New Westminster

OPEN HOUSE INVITATION
No interment fees for kids Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster is eliminating interment fees for children and infants for local residents. Council recently received a report regarding proposed changes to various user fees and rates. One of the staff recommendations was that adult/child/infant casket and cremation interment fees be increased by 15 per cent to bring them in line with other municipalities. “Our interment fees are currently $575.What we are proposing is moving it up to $660, which is in line with all other municipalities,” said Dave Cole, the city’s manager of engineering operations. “There are no other municipalities locally that offer interments at no charge for child and infant.That said, we haven’t done a child or infant interment in five years.” The idea of charging in-
terment fees for children and infants didn’t sit well with Coun. Mary Trentadue. “I would like to remove infant casket and cremation interment fees for residents and have that completely removed from this bylaw,” she said. In addition to approving the proposed user fees and rates in principle, council unanimously supported Trentadue’s motion to eliminate interment fees for children and infants. Cole said the city’s bylaw identifies children or infants as those who are 13 years and under. The staff review of rates and fees resulted in recommendations in fee changes in various departments, including engineering services, development services, cultural services and the electric utility. A report to council stated staff had reviewed rates in other municipalities and
were recommending a restructuring of parking permit fees to have rates for two permits, three permits, and fourth and fifth permits. Staff also recommended the addition of a climate emergency surcharge of 10 per cent on all parking permits, except for shared vehicle parking permits, which would go toward a climate action reserve that would fund energy-efficient initiatives in the city. Allowing five permits for vehicles is contrary to the direction the city is moving in terms of the climate emergency,Trentadue said. “It appears to me that we are allowing the possibility of a resident to have five permits for vehicles, per residence, and if there are two residential properties in one home they are allowed 10. I just think that’s a bit much,” she said. “I would actually like to reduce that.” Staff will review the issue and report back to council.
Queen’s Park owners want to raise house A Queen’s Park family is hoping to raise their 1929 home in order to create more living space in the basement. On Nov. 25, council will consider a development variance permit application from the owners of 221 St. Patrick St. to raise the house by 0.4 metres (1.2 feet) to a height of 8.2 me-
tres (to 26.94 feet), which is 0.6 metres (1.94 feet) above the height limit.The request is being made so the house can accommodate an eightfoot-high ceiling in the basement. “The proposed variance is considered reasonable as it would provide a community benefit of ensuring its continued viability through
enabling increased livable floor area without impacting the neighbourhood character in a heritage house that has been part of the 200 block of St. Patrick Street for 90 years,” said a staff report. An opportunity to comment about the variance application will be held on Monday, Nov. 25.

Continued from page 6 “So far, it looks like we have 12 attendees.That would be four from the development industry, five from the non-profit housing sector and three others – that would be BC Housing, Landlord BC and BC Acorn,” he said. “It’s a really good mix when you look at it. I am glad that we have different perspectives.” Staff will also be researching policies in other cities and engaging a land economist to help the city better understand the financial and operational implications of shared and separate commons areas. “There has to be a policy which is not only going to address some of the concerns that have been raised by council and the community, but also result in new units,” Stark said. “It may be a situation where we look at the opportunities and challenges related to shared
and separate entrances and common areas, but also look at under what circumstances would you consider separate entrances or common areas.” Stark said it’s an “emerging” issue, so there is little policy work at this time on separate entrances and amenity areas. While the City of Vancouver has hired a consultant to do a comprehensive study, he said that study will likely take eight to 12 months to complete. A report to council stated the city currently has twoinstream mixed tenure development applications that have proposed separate entrances and amenities. “Council has given us some direction,” Stark said. “They did direct staff as an interim policy to discourage applicants from putting forward applications with separate entrances and common areas.”
Staff is aiming to present council with a draft shared and separate common areas policy in February 2020. When the city began posting notices about the upcoming open house on social media last week, some people expressed concern separate entrances would even be considered. “I think sometimes people think debate can be negative. I see it as a positive because people are talking about it. I think one of our fears when we thought about the public session was would there be interest? Would people be engaged enough to want to come out to this session,” Stark said. “I think, given the discussion that has happened on social media, in the backand- forth, I think it’s really positive because hopefully we will get a good turnout at that session, which is really important because we do want to hear from people.”

THEATRE
Actors help hills come alive The Stanley Theatre is coming alive with the sound of music – and two New Westminster performers are part of the fun. Jolene Bernardino and Cecilly Day are appearing in the Arts Club Theatre Company production of The Sound of Music, running until Jan. 5. The legendary musical – which first ran on Broadway in 1959 and was made into a 1965 film starring Julie Andrews – features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The Sound of Music brims with beloved tunes such as My Favorite Things, Do-ReMi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain and Edelweiss – and, fittingly, the Arts Club is offering sing-along performances for those audience members who just can’t stop themselves from singing along. (If you’re one of them, those performances are on Dec. 26 and Jan. 4.) The musical follows the journey of a spirited young would-be nun, Ma-

ria (played by SynthiaYusuf), who takes a governess position with the von Trapp family in pre-Second World War Austria. It also stars Jonathan Winsby as Captain von Trapp. Bernardino – who first made headlines in the Record for her star turn in the 2015 New Westminster Secondary School production of Footloose – appears as as Liesl von Trapp, the eldest of the von Trapp children.
Day is in the cast as Sister Margaretta and Baroness Elberfeld. The Arts Club’s artistic director, Ashlie Corcoran, will direct the production. The Sound of Music is on at the Stanley Industrial Alliance stage until Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020. Tickets start at $39 and are available at www. artsclub.com or through the Arts Club box office at 604687-1644.

NewWest comic a rising star A rising star in the world of comedy – and a former New Westminster resident – is on his way back home. Gavin Matts, who now lives in L.A., is set to perform later this month in Vancouver – at the Biltmore Cabaret on Saturday, Nov. 16, in a show presented by JFL NorthWest. Matts has been making waves in the comedy world. In September, he made his late-night TV debut on Conan, and he was a writer on the past season of CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Matts’ style has been recognized by the top scouts who are always on the lookout for new talent. Last fall, the NewYork Comedy Festival and Conan O’Brien’s Team Coco selected Matts to perform in its coveted TBS Comics to Watch showcase, featuring 10 top new comedians. Matts’ appearance put him in the ranks of previously featured stand-ups Ali Wong and Michael Che, as well as comics who have gone on to write for The Tonight Show and The Daily Show. His hilarious set earned him one of only two appearances being offered on Conan. Tickets to Matts’Vancouver show are $19, on sale now through www.eventbrite.ca.

Walking Softly
A
A family struggles to move forward after a son’s premature death ! Story by Dustin Godfrey
soft breeze wanders through a small corner of Queen’s Park, hugging those it passes with a cool reprieve from the late summer sun. That breeze is Charles Oudie letting his friends and family know he’s still around, even if they can no longer see him, says Gabriel George, a member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation who has come to help Charles’ family bid him farewell. It’s been four years since Charles died, and on one of the final days of summer this year, his family held their fourth and final sendoff for the 26-year-old New Westminster man. On Sept. 6, 2015, Charles was found upside-down in a storm drain near the PNE lands in East Vancouver, early in the morning after a night hanging out with friends. On Sept. 6, 2019, as they gathered in Queen’s Park, family members said they’re still having trouble moving on, feeling like they’ve been left without closure in Charles’ death. For four years, the family has been left to find their own ways of moving forward. “I kind of lost my mind,” Eugenia Oudie says of the months following her son’s death. HEALING SONG When Charles was young, an elder from the family’s community at Waywayseecappo First Nation – an Ojibwe community about halfway between Brandon, Man. andYorkton, Sask. – gave him a story to name him. When Charles was sick as a boy, due to a chest problem he was born with, he was taken to a sweat lodge, where Eugenia sang him a healing song, and an elder told her a story of a deer that steps carefully before finally leaping, gliding through the air. “There was no title to it before. It was just a story given to him,” Eugenia said. After Eugenia told the story to Charles as he grew up, he eventually took the name “Walking Softly Upon Mother Earth.” It seems like a fitting name, too. Charles is remembered as being
MOVING FORWARD: Eugenia Oudie holds a photo of her son Charles. She still has questions about his death. thoughtful and a hard worker – someone who got along with everyone. “He was a good player, a good teammate, good friend,” said Jordan Catton, a former teammate with the New West Royals hockey team, which held a memorial game for Charles a year after he died. “[He was] always inclusive, always wanting to talk – just a good talker, listening to your life story, basically.” Catton described his former teammate as a “hard grinder” on the ice. That work ethic applied beyond the rink, too, according to his older sister, Elisha Williams, who said Charles went on to study in “a bunch of programs” to do construction and other work after high school and garnered high grades in all of those programs. “He was just super smart. I was just so proud of him,”
she said. And when she got the job she wanted in cosmetology, it was Charles’ turn to be the proud sibling. Missy Oudie, another sister, said Charles was adventurous, often taking the family out on hiking trails in the forest. “He’d go off the path and lead us to different places. … He would like to just have an adventure, have a fun day with the family and take his nieces and nephews out,” Missy said. QUESTIONS REMAIN The loss of Charles left a hole bigger than himself, with an impact so enduring for his family and friends. But the family’s experience with police after his death, they say, only makes healing that much more challenging. In a Province article from the time,Vancouver police
initially called the death suspicious, but it was quickly deemed to be an accident, according to later reports. The official line from the coroner’s report is Charles’ phone, found at the bottom of the storm drain, fell into the drain and he died trying to retrieve it.The report said toxicology results were “consistent with a heavy intoxication with alcohol,” which was believed to be a contributing factor. To this day, his family still struggles with that conclusion, and they feel like they weren’t taken seriously by the police. In large part, it stems from a feeling by the family that they were ignored by police, starting almost immediately after Charles’ death. The family still has questions and concerns about Charles’ death, and they alleged racial profiling in a
PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
2015 complaint to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner.They feel like police didn’t seriously question the people Charles interacted with that night or contact everyone in his phone’s call logs from the night.They’re also wary of markings on his body, which authorities said were caused by pulling his body from the drain. In the family’s OPCC complaint, they said they believe the investigation was not thorough and that repeated calls to a Vancouver Police Department officer who performed next-of-kin duties were never returned. The OPCC report did not find any violations in the conduct, but said it “might have been a good idea to return the calls.” The first investigation determined Charles’ death to be an accident, but when the Oudies complained,
the VPD’s homicide team opened another investigation. But the Oudies don’t feel like that investigation was taken seriously either. “They’re telling us to go meet them, and they’re only questioning about the [OPCC] complaint,” said Williams, her grief shifting to audible frustration as she recounted the experience. “We thought we were preparing ourselves to sit down and talk about the case, but it was never about the case.” What’s more,Williams said the family never heard from police that the second case was closed – instead, the family had to hear it from a CBC reporter in the fall of 2016. The VPD’s conclusion has only cemented in the eyes of authorities with the coroner’s report that determined Charles’ death to be an accident. Continued on page 17

Oudie family feels ignored by the police Continued from page 16 But the Oudies couldn’t even see that report until this April, more than a year after it was completed, after they sought help from the Vancouver Aboriginal Transformative Justice Services Society. In a statement,VPD spokesperson Const. Steve Addison said he was “sad that Charles’ family and friends are having a hard time.” “It’s unfortunate that Eugenia wasn’t satisfied with the level of communication we provided. Our investigators worked hard to find out what happened in this case and to communicate our findings to the family,” Addison said. RECONNECTING WITH A CULTURE “I feel like we’ll never know what actually happened until I die, until I see my brother and ask him,” Williams said. “But you just have to accept it and move on because I know he wouldn’t want me to be hurt about it.” For Williams, she’s tried to move on by continuing to do what made Charles proud – her cosmetology work. For Missy, it was travelling, tapping into her brother’s adventurous spirit. “I did what my brother wanted to do,” she said. “Just to be out and experience something different, and taking that time just being by myself really helped my heart.” While feeling ignored by police has left Eugenia and her family struggling to move on since Charles’ death, it’s been regaining a sense of connection with her culture and putting words to her pain that’s brought healing for Eugenia. “In the beginning, I couldn’t even talk about him without breaking down. I still do a little bit, but it was way worse before,” she said. She’s found tremendous healing through a variety of outlets, including through writing. That includes a video, titled Walking Softly Upon Mother Earth, which she produced for a Langara College course, in which she explores her son’s death, as well as in a book she’s writing by the same name. She’s also been working on a First Nations studies master’s thesis at the Uni-

versity of Northern B.C. In the thesis, she’s focusing on missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys, drawing inspiration from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls inquiry. Eugenia isn’t the only one who’s seen the change in herself. Judy Thompson, who also goes by her Tahltan name, Edo!sdi, is supervising Eugenia’s thesis. Edo!sdi’s research expertise is in language revitalization, and she pushed Eugenia to focus her thesis on what might have been Eugenia’s greatest remedy – reconnecting with her own culture. “She’s grown,” Edo!sdi said. “She’s just come a long way. … Knowing that she went back home in the summer – that was huge.” Eugenia describes her family in the Waywayseecappo First Nation as being tight, but she has almost always lived off reserve, in urban centres, since she was a teenager. In recent months, however, she’s returned home, where her sister has been a guide to rediscovering some of her culture and language. (Although she has a strong understanding of the Ojibwe language, Eugenia can’t speak it fluently.) That includes jingle danc-

ing, something Eugenia performed in her youth. In recent months, Eugenia’s taken it up again, including performing at a graduation ceremony in Manitoba and another performance in her home community. “It was really healing. When I came home, I felt really good. I felt kind of light,” Eugenia said, adding that she has other traditional ways of healing, including smudging with sweet grass
and sage, using a medicine wheel and meditating in a sauna. That, she said, has had longer-lasting effects of improving her mental health than the 10 sessions of therapy she received shortly after Charles died. Eugenia even has an Ojibwe translation for her son’s name, with help from her sister and a friend – Wawashkaysi-wiidosem-omaakiing translates directly to
“deer walking on earth.” MUSIC AND LAUGHTER Over the years, as the family has struggled to find healing, the memorials for Charles have dwindled in size, but a core of his family and friends remain to remember the charismatic young man. Laughter and music permeate the Oudies’ corner of Queen’s Park on this warm September day as a couple of uncles play old country
songs in the bandshell.The family gives out gifts to attendees – particularly children, to honour Charles’ talent for entertaining his nieces and nephews. As the event moves from the feast at the picnic tables to the bandshell down the hill, the mood shifts from one of sombre reflection to something more jovial. And in that corner of the park, the breeze continues to walk softly.

Exercise is the best medicine SPONSORED CONTENT

How one medical fitness clinic is helping New Westminster residents to live happier, healthier lives
ou can’t go more than a few blocks in the Lower Mainland without stumbling across some kind of fitness fad these days. From uber-stylized gyms to healthy food and all manner of trendy exercise classes, knowing where to start can be daunting. That trepidation is only magnified as you get older, and whether it’s age itself or underlying medical conditions, taking the first step towards a healthier, happier life can feel almost impossible. Fortunately, however, for people in New Westminster there is a new exercise clinic that is changing the lives of local residents. That clinic, LIVE WELL, is a medical fitness centre that’s built on the belief that exercise is medicine. Specializing in safe, supervised exercise and healthy-lifestyle coaching for people who have chronic health conditions or want to prevent them, the clinic helps its members make sustainable changes to their lifestyle.
Clinically-focused care
“If I was only going to use a few words to describe our approach they would be: safety, structure, directed and intentional,” explains Brian Budd who opened the doors to LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic New Westminster over a year ago. “And these things are incredibly important. After all, if you’re a little older or suffering from an underlying medical condition, you can’t simply turn up at your nearest gym and get started. Instead there are a lot more things that need to be considered and that’s where we come in,” he continues. This kind of personalized, clinicallyfocussed approach is a key part of what LIVE WELL offers. The company specializes in supervised exercise and healthy lifestyle coaching, which is ideal for people who have, or want to prevent, chronic conditions.
“Unlike traditional gyms, we hire kinesiologists. Our clinic is manned by experts, kinesiologists and certified exercise physiologists who are specifically trained to work with people from a clinical perspective.” “Unlike traditional gyms, we hire kinesiologists,” explains Budd. “Our clinic is manned by experts, kinesiologists and certified exercise physiologists who are specifically trained to work with people from a clinical perspective.”
Brenda B. feels comfortable and supported by both staff and fellow participants at LIVE WELL Excercise Clinic.
“It’s like hanging out with a small group of people at a coffee shop but we work and sweat and encourage each other. I actually want to see what I can do next. Come join us—believe me, if I can do it, anyone can!”
Marlin T. feels like he is living in his own skin again since beginning at Live Well Excercise Clinic.
ED P.
The team at LIVE WELL works closely with its members’ doctors who often refer them to the clinic. Clients are happy too. Says Ed P. of New Westminster: “Some days I don’t feel like going but I do because of how great I feel when I am there. It’s like hanging out with a small group of people at a coffee shop but we work and sweat and encourage each other. I actually want to see what I can do next. Come join us—believe me, if I can do it, anyone can!” Marlon T. agrees. Since joining LIVE WELL, he says, “I’m able to physically exert myself much more than when I first started without feeling light headed and nauseated. I feel like I’m living in my own skin again.”
Health and happiness
Everyone is welcome at LIVE WELL regardless of their shape, weight or experience level. And that diversity continues to the benefits people experience too. It’s not

just about losing weight, it’s about making a lasting change to people’s lifestyles, small steps that add up to make a big difference.
There’s a real sense of community at the New Westminster location and the social aspect of their classes is just as important as the physical benefits. “Unlike traditional gyms we are not focussed on getting people ‘beach body ready,’” says Budd. “Instead we focus on improving our members’ quality of life and reducing the symptoms of any underlying conditions that they may be suffering from.” As well as physical health, mental health is
a big part of LIVE WELL’s approach. There’s a real sense of community at the New Westminster location and the social aspect of their classes is just as important as the physical benefits. Says Brenda B. of New Westminster: “Live Well feels very safe, welcoming and non-competitive. I feel comfortable and supported by the staff and fellow participants. The staff are professional, patient and caring. I appreciate the personal program and their continuing guidance and support. And on top of all that, I have fun every session with all the great people I’ve met.” With clinics throughout BC, including right here in New Westminster, LIVE WELL’s evidence-based programs are ideal for those with chronic health conditions; heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity and for anyone who wants to improve their general wellness.

Entertainment Comedy show has evolved Continued from page 20 reflect the goings-on on both sides of the 49th parallel. Majumder can’t help but laugh a little at the fact that, at the beginning of his show’s run, he made fun of Canadian politics for being so devoid of material. “I make fun of the fact that our scandals in Canada are so lame compared to Trump’s scandals, that Trudeau can’t even buy himself a scandal, a real, juicy scandal,” he says. Majumder poked fun at the “scandal” surrounding Trudeau when he “dressed up like Aladdin” – words that, in that moment, were referencing Trudeau’s 2018 trip to India, when he was criticized for overdoing it with traditional Inian outfits.Then the federal election campaign happened. “The joke became reality,” Majumder says, laughing. His show covers a lot of ground – from the rise of neoNazism in the U.S. and the #MeToo movement to his own upbringing as the sole “beige” kid in Burlington, Newfoundland, population 350. And no, Majumder doesn’t have any sad tales about racism in small-town Newfoundland. “I thought I was lily-white,” says Majumder, the son of an Indian father and white mother. “I had no idea I was any different. It was amazing; looking back, there were some things said to me that I now realize were somewhat racistWHAT: HATE, a show by slash-ignorant. … I laugh beShaun Majumder cause, in Newfoundland, even WHERE: Massey Theatre, when people say things that 735 Eighth Ave. are racist, they’re still coming WHEN: Saturday, Nov. 23, from a place of love.” 8 p.m. TICKETS: $45 through www. He tells the story of a wommasseytheatre.com. an he met while taking his show back home to Newfoundland. As he speaks, the faintly Celtic lilt that remains in his speaking voice broadens into a full-on Newfoundland brogue. The woman in question was a fan, and she couldn’t wait to compliment Majumder on his skill with accents. So, in finest Newfoundland style, she told him: “We love you, Shaun, we do; you do the best Paki.” Majumder laughs with genuine warmth at the memory. “I was like, ‘That’s so racistly sweet.’” It’s that kind of good-natured acceptance of humanity that Majumder brings with him on the road. “The way that I’m doing it is, ‘Come into my house and let’s talk about stuff that we will all collectively think is ridiculous,’” he says. “It’s a safe way of doing it. I’m having fun with the ridiculousness of hate. In the end, it’s a very positive message.” Because, he says, humans are a pretty good species as a lot. “Ultimately, we all want to love each other; there’s no doubt about it.The fear that gets in the way of people connecting and seeing another person? That’s a problem. People are most definitely fearful.” But, he says, we don’t start out that way. “Like, look at Mattis right now. She is completely open to everything in the world,” he says, and his voice is gentle. “Now that I stare down at my beautiful child, I think I have to write a LOVE show.”

OPERA
Director takes on Puccini A New Westminster director is at the helm of Opera Mariposa’s new production. The company is presenting Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi at St. Faith’s Anglican Church in Vancouver on Nov. 15, 16, 22 and 23.The farcical one-act opera about a rich old man, his last will and testament and the greedy relatives who want to get their hands on his fortune will be onstage alongside excerpts from other great Italian operas – including La traviata, Don Pasquale, Rigoletto and The Marriage of Figaro. Gianni Schicchi features a diverse ensemble cast from across three continents, under the direction of New Westminster’s Jeanine Fynn. Fynn is a Lower Mainland stage director who’s known for putting twists on traditional works.

Enough with the stereotypes about people who are adopted While watching one of my go-to shows the other night, it came out that one of the lead characters was an adoptee. She winced whenever the topic arose, and when her adopted mother finally made an appearance, an anger-fuelled altercation revealed that the mother had only wanted to collect a cheque – that she didn’t love her adopted child as she had loved her naturalborn children, and that the adoptee had always felt like an outsider in her family. The eye-roll-worthy scene was thick with stereotypes – from the white woman “rescuing” a poor orphaned black girl and raising her alongside her Caucasianborn birth children, to the narcissistic intentions behind the adoption, to the disconnected relationship
if you can have your own child?” or they say, “They’re so lucky to have been adopted; I could never love a child that wasn’t my own.” Adoption is often pegged as a second choice – a consolation prize for those parents who are unable to produce a child naturally. And while many adoptive families may have come to be after pregnancy complications and infertility challenges, that doesn’t mean that the child is loved any less, or that the family isn’t as equally full of love. For some, adoption may have been the second choice, but that doesn’t mean that the children who are adopted are second best. There are also many families who choose adoption first – who recognize that there are children in this world who are looking for forever homes and who want to provide loving homes for those children before bringing new ones
into the world. Many also assume that adoptees grow up feeling unwanted or discarded. I was raised to believe that I was lucky – not because I was “rescued,” but because I was chosen by my adoptive parents.There are so many unfit parents who bring children into the world, I’ve always felt fortunate to have been an intentional choice. Adoption is not black and white. It’s an experience that differs for everyone. Despite the stereotypes, it can be a beautiful bonding experience that can be just as solid as a biological bond. Let’s stop pegging adoption as a sad story and recognize that it can be the beginning of a beautiful story – one that should be told much more often.

between mother and daughter in the absence of blood ties – the storyline reflected many of the assumptions made about adoption in today’s society. Growing up as an adoptee with a mixed-race background and Caucasian parents, I was constantly asked prodding questions about why I didn’t look like my mom and dad, asking me where I came from, and the reasons behind why I had been adopted. But unlike the storyline in my show, my story was one of love and intention. With the mention of adoption comes a series of questions, and often those queries (though usually not by intention) imply that the adopted child was a backup plan after a failed pregnancy attempt, or as a result of a generous act of charity by “noble” parents. Unaware of the negative connotations, people ask, “Why would you adopt

Reehal shares in UBC win NewWest rookie celebrates national win for T-birds It proved to be a perfect storybook season for Burnaby sisters Anisha and Janika Sangha and New West’s Nisa Reehal. In their second season together as members of the University of B.C.Thunderbirds soccer team, the Sangha siblings were big contributors to the championship run that ended with a 1-0 triumph over the University of Calgary Dinos Sunday in Victoria. Reehal, meanwhile, may not have got a lot of playing time during the three-game tournament, but it was her playoff goal in the Canada West semifinal that made it all possible. In the national championship showdown against Calgary, Danielle Steer scored the game-winning goal for a second straight game, to lift the program to a seventh Canadian title. It was a rematch of the Canada West final, where Calgary pulled out a 1-0 win. It made the final result fitting retribution. Janika Sangha was named UBC’s player of the game in their 1-0 quarterfinal victory over the Montreal Carabins on Thursday. “I was focused on winning my battles in the middle (Thursday) and not letting Montreal turn and get up field,” said Janika. “I tried to support my team as much as possible and I’m super excited about our result.” She was named to the tourney all-star squad, joining four other teammates. Reehal scored the crucial goal in the Canada West semifinal two weeks ago that locked up a berth to the nationals. The first-year NWSS alumna cashed in the game’s lone marker, at the 78th minute mark, as UBC edged archrival Trinity Western to advance to the regional final. “It was so exciting,” said Reehal after scoring her first career Canada West playoff goal just 17 minutes after being subbed on. “I’m so happy to have fought for my team and come on as a sub. It just felt so good to make a difference. I’m just so proud of everyone for working so hard and working for each other.” The midfielder was named to the Canada West All-Rookie team, after scoring three times – and tying for second-most on the club – during the season.

Big bounce-back win for New West
Hyacks roll past Ravens, enter quarterfinals with a powerful performance Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
At the right time, the New Westminster Hyacks reclaimed their winning mojo. The senior AAA football team launched the 2019 playoffs Friday with a well-rounded and completely dominating 45-6 victory over the Terry Fox Ravens at Mercer Stadium. It sets the stage for Saturday’s Subway Bowl quarterfinal matchup against Lord Tweedsmuir (noon, at BC Place), where more of the same will be needed. There wasn’t much doubt Friday, as New West effectively put the previous week’s disappointing effort in the rear view mirror and looked like a team with a purpose. “I’m really proud of our guys. This is the group that I believed we could be,” remarked New West coach Farhan Lalji. “We haven’t been this team since the league opener against Mount Douglas, and it was nice to see. Regardless of opponent, we couldn’t have played a better first quarter, a bet-
ter first half really. “We were disciplined, we stayed within ourselves, we executed.This is the team I believe we can be and it’s the right time of year for it to happen.” Injuries created some key opportunities for players, and most took a shine to their bigger roles.With running back Greyson Planinsic ailing and starting quarterback Payton Myers requiring some rest, DeakonYoung and Andros Dancey stepped up and led a strong united group. Young scored the game’s first major, off a 14-yard run on the team’s first possession. A few minutes later, Dancey carried in a three-yard major, then followed up by returning an interception 22 yards just 10 seconds later. With two minutes left in the quarter, Michael Udoh caught a 20-yard Dancey pass to make it 27-0, with Alex Beschea’s second successful point-after attempt rounding it up to 28-0 after 12 minutes. The Hyacks would add another major via the run, with Mahtab
Garcha going in from two yards out, andYoung capping the half by scampering 60 yards immediately after the team counted a two-point safety. Beschea would add a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter, while Fox scored its lone major on the last play of the game.
This is the team I believe we can be and it’s the right time of year for it to happen.
“Last week we really underperformed,” said Dancey, recalling the team’s 28-0 setback to South Delta. “Moving forward after this big win, especially against a team like Terry Fox, who we have disagreements with, I think it will be a rolling point in how we’ll do in the playoffs moving forward.” Dancey finished 3-for-3 from the pocket, and added 26 yards
rushing. Four other players racked up 20-plus yards on the ground, led byYoung’s 59 yards on eight carries. Udoh picked up 46 yards on eight carries, while Garcha, with 38 yards, and Tyson Black gained 20. “Generally we executed very well on both sides and they gave us some breaks and we took advantage of some breaks.The big thing for us is if we don’t take penalties and we don’t turn the ball over we’re tough to beat,” noted Lalji. Tweedsmuir, who kicked off the playoffs with a 57-7 win over W.J. Mouat, handed New West its first loss of the season in Week 1, a 15-6 decision on Sept. 6. Since then, both teams have had better days, as the two were placed fourth and fifth, respectively, in the last provincial poll. As far as opponents go, the Panthers will be a whole new test that the Hyacks will need to tackle. “We’re just going to try and come out and do everything we didn’t do in the first week.We’re rolling with a lot of confidence and Continued on page 30

Hyacks take aim at Tweedsmuir Continued from page 29 we’ll be prepared.We just need to play as a team and not take dumb penalties,” said Young. “(Tweedsmuir) play at a different level and we played them at the start of the year and we know how good they are,” added
Lalji. “It will be tough and we just need to continue to get better. “I like the fact that we’ve kind of gotten into a habit as a team that when November hits and its playoffs, we play our best football.That’s what I expect on Saturday.”
