Future of Coq. co-op up in the air due to court ruling Previous plan was to sell land to pay for new housing GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

There is more uncertainty surrounding the future of the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op in

Coquitlam after the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation claimed in court filings that the society that operates the building complex is in default of a $4.2-million loan.

CMHC, a federal Crown corporation, successfully petitioned the courts to name PwC Canada, an accounting firm, the receiver of the

Glen Drive property, which includes 60 abandoned townhouses and 157 occupied apartment units.

For residents like Bobbi Style, the recent court action and a lack of information about the property’s future have created unease.

“I can see everyone’s positions but it doesn’t help the people that live here,” he said.

“We have been paying rent good as gold for years.”

Further complicating Style’s situation is the fact that he is disabled and uses a wheelchair. He has spent time and money modifying his apartment to meet his needs and said he is concerned that he may be forced out of his home. see CMHC, page 14

2016 TERRY FOX RUN

Siblings continuing Terry’s journey Fred, Judith and Darrell all have their roles, as do other relatives Last in a 3-part series…

JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

For Fred, Darrell and Judith Fox, it’s been a year of ups and downs.

After coming off a successful 35th year of fundraising for the Terry Fox Foundation, the siblings got the worse news possible: Their father had cancer.

“We played the role of supporting somebody with cancer again,” Judith said.

They, along with Rolly Fox’s wife, Janet, stuck by their dad through every appointment.

He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer — the same illness the Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) had concluded a study on only 18 months prior, to look at early detection.

“The challenge with lung cancer is, in Dad’s case, once you reach Stage 4, it’s very difficult and the outcomes are not very good,” Darrell said.

Less than two months after his diagnosis, Rolly was gone, just shy of his 81st birthday.

His passing hit his children hard. Their mom, Betty, had died five years earlier. And, over the summer, they lost a cousin to the disease.

Still, his death also made clear how important their work is with the Terry Fox Foundation.

“I remember sitting in the clinic room in Abbotsford with 40 other cancer patients and it really struck me,” Judith said.

“That was just one clinic, in one province, in one country. There are people all over the world going through the same thing. It really put it all into perspective.”

As the foundation’s international director since 2008, Judith, a Port Coquitlam resident, oversees about 60 runs a year in 30 countries.

Most are organized by Canadian ex-pats in diplomatic offices, the military, international schools and businesses.

Since 1992, international Terry Fox Runs have collected more than $75 million for cancer research for their host nations.

The Fox siblings have travelled around the world to see their brother’s story told. In 2014, Darrell and Fred visited

Abu Dhabi for the 20th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, an event that brought out 20,000 participants and raised Dh 1.5 million in donations for cancer research in the United Arab Emirates.

Last August, Judith was invited to Chandigarh, India, where Terry Fox’s spirit also thrives thanks to the efforts the University of the Fraser Valley, which has a satellite campus there, and Mohan Singh Hira Bhangoo, a Brampton, Ont., resident who comes from Chandigarh and translated a biography of Terry Fox into Punjabi.

Judith said the international runs — such as Singapore’s — sometimes stop for organizational reasons but are usually revived by the Canadian clubs, at the request of the locals.

“His story is so meaningful and the cause is so great,” she said.

Darrell, who oversees the TFRI, said Terry wanted to raise a dollar per Canadian every year to support the best and the brightest cancer researchers around the world. But while getting their research models — such as the 2014 lung cancer study — into the mainstream health care system is a major sticking point, finding enough money to fund the crucial research is TFRI’s biggest challenge, he said.

“There are lots of fantastic research projects but not enough resources,” Darrell said. “We’re simply not able to fund every project.”

Meanwhile, Fred acts as the liaison for the charity. Each September and October, as

manager of supporter relations at the national office, he visits two or three provinces to rally volunteers before their runs.

This week, he was in Winnipeg — the Fox family’s hometown — to speak at schools, conduct media interviews and meet with run committees around the province.

He has, for the most part, taken over Betty’s public role.

But just as their parents never forced them into the foundation work, the three Fox siblings are also allowing their own children to come into the charity on their own time.

They never knew their Uncle Terry, Fred said, but they are acutely aware of his impact across Canada and around the world.

Most of Terry’s nieces and nephews have already picked

ONE TERRY FOX RUN-NER’S STORY

Coquitlam resident Mirandy Wiens sent The Tri-City News this photo and story in the lead-up to the 36th annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday. She wrote, “I grew up in Port Coquitlam and, every year since I was a little girl, with my mom by my side, we would walk the Terry Fox Run. Every year, we looked forward to doing this. We’ve done it in the torrential downpour of rain, thunderstorms and sunshine. We do it for friends and family who fought hard to beat cancer. We walk for them. When I was 29 years old, I was pregnant with my first child. I felt it was extremely important I pass this tradition on to my child. With crackers and a water bottle in hand, I walked the [run] with my son in my belly. He is now three years old and gets excited to do the run with me and my mom. My son was born with a heart condition and, on a day we had an appointment at BC Children’s Hospital, we stopped by the Terry Fox statues [at BC Place] on our way home. It was my son’s first time seeing the Terry Fox statues. Before I could tell him who it was, he said to me, ‘Look Mommy, it’s Terry Fox. I’m going to walk just like him.’ The picture attached is my son and the moment I captured his proud moment to be just like Terry. I’m proud to pass this tradition on to my son and future children.”

“We feel pretty confident and know that this legacy will continue,” Darrell said of the extended family. “We are strong because we have a whole generation to pick up the baton that Terry left for us in 1980.”

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Burke focus is elementary DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

More young families moving to Burke Mountain has prompted School District 43 to seek funding for an additional elementary school before a new school currently under construction is even completed.

On Tuesday, the board of education approved a fiveyear capital plan requesting the province contribute $17.8 million toward the planned Sheffield (Partington Creek) elementary, which will hold about 400 students and be located in a newly developed area to the east of Smiling Creek elementary.

Board chair Judy Shirra said elementary schools are now a top priority for Burke Mountain, along with a replacement for Minnekhada middle school, which would also serve Grade 6 to 8 Burke Mountain students even though it’s down the hill in Port Coquitlam.

“For us, Minnekhada is priority,” Shirra told The TriCity News. “The community deserves a new school. [Current students] are the ones that are here and now, those kids deserve to go to a building that’s safe.”

The Port Coquitlam trustee said replacing Minnekhada is an urgent need because the building is old and not earthquake-proof. And while the

sD43 has surplus of $6.5M thanks to international kids DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Construction is well underway for Smiling Creek elementary school on Burke Mountain in Coquitlam. plan for new schools on Burke Mountain may not please parents, she said Minnekhada has a lot of capacity for additional students.

Her comments mirrored those made by Ivano Cecchini, the district’s principal of facility initiatives, who told trustees the province requires schools to be at 95% capacity before new schools are built.

If the district put a new northeast Coquitlam middle school ahead of other needs, “no schools would get built,” Cecchini said.

As to why the district appears to be playing catch-up with elementary schools for the area, the shortage of affordable housing and the needs of young families appear to play heavily into decision-making.

As an example, Leigh el-

ementary, a catchment school for Burke Mountain students, enrolled 496 students this year, up 40 from last year.

Shirra said Burke Mountain was originally envisioned as an enclave of families with older children because of the cost of the newer homes. But as more families were priced out of other areas of Metro Vancouver and secondary suites were built to act as mortgage helpers, Burke Mountain became a haven for younger families.

Consequently, the district had to do an about-face, putting a 1,000-capacity Burke Mountain secondary lower on its priority list to focus on building elementary schools.

“That’s the changing demographic on Burke Mountain,” she said.

The district’s 2016/’17

capital plan puts four Burke Mountain schools, plus an addition for Panorama Heights on Westwood Plateau, as its top five requests for funding. Although a request for provincial funding does not immediately guarantee money will come, the plans call for the following new schools:

EXPANSION

• 2017/’18: Sheffield (Partington Creek), $17.9 million; Panorama Heights addition, $2.3 million; • 2018/’19: Burke Mountain secondary, $73.5 million; • 2021/’22: Northeast Coquitlam middle school, $41.8 million; and Marigold (Partington Creek) elementary, $9 million (land costs). dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

School District 43 ended the last school year with a whopping $6.5-million surplus — much bigger than anticipated.

But board chair Judy Shirra says that doesn’t mean the district is sufficiently funded.

In fact, the Port Coquitlam trustee said without increasing enrolment among foreign students — which brought in $28 million in the 2015/’16 school year — the district would still be strapped for cash.

“If you look at what we get from the ministry, we do really well with what we get but we are also a revenue-generating district and that has saved us time and time again,” Shirra told The Tri-City News.

As well, she said the leftover cash is just 2.24% of the $293-million budget, which falls within an expected norm.

Why the district is banking cash now when just a few years ago it was in deficit can be explained partly by increased vigilance on spending, Shirra said, and the fact that young teachers have been moving into replace those who are retiring, costing less

in salaries and benefits.

There was also a shortage of educational assistants last year, which fed into a better financial bottom line.

Now comes the job of deciding how the money will be spent and Tuesday evening, the board decided to wait until November, when it has more information about the new school year and a chance to do some consultation to make a determination.

But $1 million has already been used to improve facilities and create additional space, leaving $5.5 million to be spread out over four years, providing a $850,000 boost to the current school year’s operating budget. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BERT FLINN PARK

300 at meeting; motion to remove road plan deferred SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A question mark remains over whether the David Avenue extension will be built in Bert Flinn Park after Port Moody council opted to defer a motion to remove the road right-of-way in favour of research on possible alternatives.

About 300 people attended Tuesday’s city council meeting, at which 34 people spoke during the public input period, largely evenly split between supporters of Coun. Rob Vagramov’s motion to remove the road right-of-way from the official community plan and those who felt the city needed to keep all options open, particularly without a development proposal at Ioco to consider.

Ioco Road resident Sue Round voiced her support for the motion to remove the right-of-way, saying she’s not against development at the Ioco townsite but is “100% opposed to putting a road through Bert Flinn Park.”

“It is a truly special and accessible place,” she told council.

“I love that I can be on the trail within 30 seconds of leaving my door.”

Soren Jensen said he spoke for the park’s mountain bikers, saying a road through the park would leave its popular trails “decimated” and cut into pieces. “Port Moody couldn’t ask for a better crown jewel,” he said. “You couldn’t buy it, but you can save it.”

Hunter Madsen, who is spearheading the Save Bert Flinn Park movement, said building the David Avenue connector would not divert traffic from Ioco Road because any development at the townsite would add too much extra traffic to the area.

“A road would forever ruin this nature park,” Madsen said.

“Just imagine building a traffic corridor and major bridge, and how it’s going to create an ugly, messy construction site for years to come.”

Many others also expressed their love of the park and mutual hope that a road would not be built, but said the motion was ill-timed.

“It subverts the requirement for public consultation,” said Aaron Robinson, who added that removing a significant and long-planned connector should be the subject of extensive research with “all the information communicated and debated.”

Former city councillor Sandy Liles said she was part of the “long, hard fight” to create Bert Flinn Park but it was done with one proviso — that there be a road connecting

David Avenue to the Ioco lands because they were likely to be developed in the future.

“Council is here to do a job, to negotiate and liaise with developers and develop sound traffic plans to move people effectively as part of that,” she said. “I say that as a dog walker, as a lover of that park. I urge council to tread carefully and represent all the community that is here.”

In discussing the motion, council was largely unanimous in its opinion that any decision on the connector would require much more time, information, public input and debate; Vagramov voted against it.

“Despite the rhetoric and the fear-mongering, the park is not in imminent danger of being developed,” said Coun. Meghan Lahti, who was first elected to council in 1996 based largely on her involvement in efforts to turn Neighbourhoods 3 and 4 into a park. “There is no development proposal in front of us.

The fact is, we have time to get this right and we should leave no stone unturned until we find a better option.”

Lahti moved to defer Vagramov’s motion until staff could obtain a legal opinion on removing the right-of-way; get professional traffic, environmental and financial analyses to investigate and compare alternatives to the existing route; and prepare a public consultation plan to review all the options

with residents and stakeholders.

Staff are expected to come back to council with a study on how long the investigation would take and any associated costs.

“If there’s a concern in the community and people aren’t confident we’re doing the right thing, then we should do whatever we need to assure them and us that we’re doing the right thing,” Mayor Mike Clay told The Tri-City News.

The downside will be that pursuing a significant new project takes staff’s focus away from ongoing work on the zoning bylaw update — now 11 years in the making, Clay said — as well as the transportation plan, Coronation Park plans and more.

The proponent behind the potential Ioco development says plans for an open house to showcase the developer’s ideas is on the back burner until he can connect with city staff. James Cheng said Brilliant Circle Group’s proposal includes 83 acres of land set aside to connect Bert Flinn with Belcarra Regional Park as well as additional developed park space.

“People will be able to access 3,000 acres of beautiful forest preserve rather than just 311, and that to me could be a real benefit,” Cheng said. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Crackdown in Coquitlam on illegal suites The Tri-CiTy News

A crackdown is coming in Coquitlam on illegal secondary suites.

Stephanie James, the city’s acting director of legal and bylaw enforcement, said staff will focus on rental and real estate advertisements promoting secondary suites in residences where they are not allowed.

“Enforcement is being ramped up for the impermissible suites and that’s where the vast majority of our ticketing has occurred and where our proactive efforts are focused,” she said in an email. “Our bylaw enforcement staff will be combing through Craigslist and MLS with a focus on the impermissible suites only.”

James added that singlefamily homes are only allowed to have one suite while suites in multi-family homes, like duplexes and townhouses, are prohibited. Homeowners with illegal suites could receive a fine.

But James defined the differences between permissible and impermissible suites.

Some residents are allowed to have a secondary unit as long

as they have a building permit and are in compliance with building and zoning bylaws and have appropriate parking, she explained. In those instances, city staff will work with the homeowner to educate them and ensure they conform with the regulations.

“We want secondary suites to provide safe and affordable housing options in our community,” she said. “By ensuring that property owners are aware of and comply with municipal regulations, we are working towards that outcome.”

Coquitlam’s secondary suite program was launched in 1999.

The city said the goal of the program is to give homeowners the option of renting out a portion of their property while protecting their neighbourhood from increased parking congestion.

In a media release last week, staff said illegal suites can pose safety risks for the occupants of the home and can invalidate homeowners’ insurance.

• For more information on Coquitlam’s secondary suite program, go to www.coquitlam. ca/secondarysuites.

Middle school students in Port Coquitlam will be cruising to school on bikes next week and drivers are asked to be cautious.

With back to school well under way, HUB Cycling, a Metro-Vancouver based nonprofit, will be encouraging Minnekhada middle school students to ride their bikes to school Thursday, Sept. 22 as part of an initiative to teach them to cycle safely.

"There will be lots of kids on the roads," Scout Gray said, noting that participating children will also do a road tour through the neighbourhood, some wearing high-visibility vests, and doing their best to follow the route safely.

The initiative, funded by the Port Coquitlam Foundation, is expected to teach as many as 150 Grade 6 and 7 students to follow the rules of the road.

Gray said the goal is to encourage youngsters to ride their bikes more often for recreation and to commute to school.

"If people are going go be riding," she said, "it's important they ride safely."

Moved by Cooper’s speech, PM man launches campaign

City of Coquitlam

Schedule of Meetings City Hall - 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam

continued from front page

Jeff McLellan was among the approximately 300 people at Tuesday’s council meeting to hear the debate on a road through Bert Flinn Park but it was a speech at the end of the meeting that got his attention, in which Cooper “spoke so passionately about community, and how the original pioneers who founded Port Moody had to come together as a community in order to survive and grow into the amazing city we all call home today.”

He noted Cooper was one of group of locals who lobbied PoMo council to designate the Ioco Townsite as a heritage area in 2000, leading to the first Ghost Town Day in 2001.

“We have a very valuable heritage area there at the end of Ioco Road, and it represents what I hope you will always hope to have — community,” Cooper said at the meeting. “It’s not just a place of houses. It’s not just a place of industry. It’s an illustration of how people worked together and made it work in a pioneer community.”

Volunteers organizing this year’s celebration were hampered somewhat after receiving only a fifth of the $2,500 in funding they usually receive from the Heritage Commission to hold

Mary Anne Cooper (left) has long been a proponent of Port Moody heritage and was a driving force between Ioco Ghost Town Day (right), which this year will be held on Sunday, Oct. 2.

Ghost Town Day. Coun. Barbara Junker, who chairs the commission, said a greater portion of the funding is going toward its own growing heritage festival.

McLellan said in his post that after a divisive six-week campaign over Bert Flinn Park that “seemed intent on pitting neighbourhood versus neighbourhood,” it was only fitting that, in honour of Cooper’s 102nd birthday next month, he would rally the community to support Ioco Ghost Town Day. “I thought it was great that somebody in the community was wanting to help out,” said Jim Millar, director of the Port Moody Station Museum. “This is a grassroots festival. It’s so easy to forget about things. The new generation coming along

has no idea what the history was of the place, so I think it’s important to know what our forefathers and mothers did before us.”

Within an hour, McLellan’s post had generated $900, Millar said.

The free, family-friendly event will offer live entertainment by The Syndicate, Theatrix, Nigel Tucker and magician Dennis Hewson, as well as children’s activities, trolley tours of the Ioco Townsite, a wood-turning display, bouncy castle and much more. There will also be food trucks on site.

Donations ($25 and up qualify for a tax receipt) can be made online at www.canadahelps.org/dn/14327 or via the museum’s site at portmoody-

A few feet shorter, development comes back to PM council Aragon’s previous proposal met OCP guides, was nixed after a hearing SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A proposed six-storey building at Clarke and Moody streets that city council previously turned down is getting another shot after the developer returned with a slightly shorter plan.

It comes nearly five months after the previous rezoning proposal for the properties was rejected by Port Moody council even though it was in keeping with the city’s official community plan policies.

Aragon Properties’ proposed development at 2713-2725 Clarke St. and 87 Moody St. has since been slightly lowered — the mixed-use component by 2.5 feet through a reduction in the heights of the individual residential floors and the townhouse component by about 1.5 feet.

The building remains a sixstorey structure, which is the maximum allowed in the OCP. The change in height wasn’t enough to sway Coun. Rick Glumac, who voted against second reading of the zoning amendment bylaw to allow a comprehensive development zone on the site.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Glumac repeated concerns

POMO PONDeriNg A LiViNg wAge POLiCy SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody could be joining the likes of Vancouver, New Westminster and Port Coquitlam in adopting a living wage policy.

At Tuesday’s meeting, council agreed to have staff report back on the potential implications of such a policy, which was recommended by the city’s Community Care Committee in the summer.

A staff report noted the living wage in Metro Vancouver is $20.64 — based on a two-parent family with two children — to pay for food, clothing, housing, child care and transportation. The minimum wage, however, is $10.85 per hour (it jumped from $10.45 Thursday), an amount that has gone up by only $2.45 since 2001.

Proponents of the living wage policy say it is needed to keep an ever-growing number of families from living below the poverty line.

Most PoMo city employees are already paid at or above the living wage. Those who aren’t are mainly contract and casual employees, including security staff and part-time recreation workers. The staff report states this group reflects a relatively small percentage of employees and would result in a limited increase in salary costs. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

that the building didn’t provide a gradual enough transition from the neighbouring Station and Lighthouse buildings.

Coun. Rob Vagramov also voted against the proposal, noting the April public hearing at which about 20 people spoke against it, largely because they were concerned about the loss of their views and sunlight.

Councillors Diana Dilworth

and Zoe Royer offered their support, emphasizing the development is across the street from the Moody Centre SkyTrain Station and West Coast Express station, and is an ideal place for higher density.

A public input will be held before the next council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 11.

OUR OPINION

Transit & sharing

W

hen Henry Ford introduced the Model T more than 100 years ago, the automobile became the symbol of carefree convenience.

Now, with the cost of car ownership escalating along with environmental concerns, cars can sometimes be thought of as a necessary evil.

What if you could give up a car but still retain some of the convenience of ownership through a car sharing service? Operations such as Zipcar, Modo and BCAA’s Evo charge you a fee to join and a low hourly rate but take responsibility for the vehicle purchase, gas, maintenance, insurance and even dealing with ICBC in an accident.

Could this be an idea whose time has come now that Evergreen Line will soon come to the Tri-Cities to offer a rapid transit option for residents? Hundreds of people in this region think so and are signing up for car sharing, and the services are adding more vehicles to allow people to do all those other errands without the hassle of car ownership.

Interesting idea. What would Henry Ford think?

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? VOTE AT tricitynews.com/opinion/poll

Would access to the Evergreen Line and car sharing services convince you to give up a personal vehicle?

The state of B.C.’s wallets for National Payroll Week AS I SEE IT

t’s National Payroll Week. Regrettably, celebrations do not include an extra paycheque. British Columbians may even be wondering what there is to celebrate at all.

According to the Canadian Payroll Association’s survey of employed Canadians, 53% of British Columbians reported that “it would be difficult to meet their financial obligations if their paycheque was delayed by even a single week.”

Alec Milne of research firm Framework Partners noted, “The data suggests that household income growth has stalled and real incomes have actually declined when inflation is taken into account.”

In 2014, according to the latest numbers from StatsCan, the median income for an individual in B.C. was $31,610, compared to the national median of $32,790.

The percentage of British Columbians earning below $25,000 was 41.6%, or 1.469 million individuals. Add in those earning up to $49,999 and 69.2% earned below $50,000.

B.C.’s seniors advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, raised the alarm in July over the fact that senior families saw their

TC

annual median income fall 5.7% and single seniors by 6.3% (over 2013).

Then there’s the side of the ledger that hasn’t stalled: living expenses.

In April 2010, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported that the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in B.C. was $876, $983 for a two-bedroom. In 2015, the respective rents were $973 and $1,136, an increase of 11 and 15.6% respectively. The cumulative increase in the consumer price index (CPI) was 9%.

Now try finding an apartment. The vacancy rate over the same period fell from 3.1% to 1.8%, despite an increase of 4,229 units across B.C. Adding to that, RBC Economics reported in 2010 that increases in its Housing Affordability Index for B.C. “[signalled] that home ownership is really testing the limits of B.C. households’ budgets. Very poor affordability is likely to restrain demand in the period ahead.”

Back then, the average price for a standard condominium in the Vancouver area was $388,800, $688,600 for a single-family detached bungalow .

In June of this year, RBC reported that the average

condo price had risen by 26.82% to $493,100 and the bungalow by more than 100% to $1.38 million.

Then there are those “just a few dollars more” regressive tax hikes the province likes so much. They add up: • MSP premiums are up 31.6% (2010 to ’16) to $900 for an individual and $1,800 for a family (cumulative CPI 10.4%).

• For an an average BC Hydro ratepayer, the annual bill has risen by 32% (’10 to ’15) to $1,235 per year (cumulative CPI 9%).

• FortisBC customers learned this week that the utility company wants to hike the cost of natural gas by a whopping 80%.

One last stat from the survey: 27% of employees in B.C. said “they probably couldn’t come up with $2,000 if an emergency arose within the next month,” making them among “the most cash-strapped in the nation.”

The government may like touting the fact that B.C. is on track to have the highest provincial job growth rate in the land this year but it would do well to remember that the growth is in some of Canada’s lowest-paying jobs and in some of the country’s priciest communities.

Fight fires together Development reducing The Editor, Several weeks ago, during a training exercise on the Evergreen Line, fire chiefs from Coquitlam and Port Moody made reference to the fact that there needs to be a more integrated and collaborative system between fire departments than the current mutual aid arrangements.

Over the last year throughout the Lower Mainland, fire departments have been struggling to provide services when their communities are faced with a large structural fire. These complex situations require mutual aid, recall of other shifts of firefighters and overtime. These situations stretch resources and many communities suspend responding to medical calls of all types as they have no personnel to send to those medical calls.

There are 300 to 400 firefighters on duty every shift throughout the Lower Mainland. The three communities on the North Shore already practise a system that automatically provides assistance and coverage to one another when a large number of resources are deployed to a

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

A fire last month at the Flavelle mill on the Port Moody waterfront. large incident. This allows for a quicker response to large fires, maintains the ability to respond to medical calls and has resulted in the elimination of a number of duplicate types of services. They now share one high-angle rescue, hazardous material response and swift water rescue service.

The duplication of these services is expensive and requires extensive training. The cost of municipal services is expensive and rising rapidly.

The women and men who provide fire and rescue services are faced with complex and potentially deadly situations, and require adequate personnel and logistical support when doing so. An integrated fire service could potentially

save taxpayers millions of dollars in salaries. The elimination of the duplicate services and amalgamation of administrative services would provide additional savings. These savings could put more firefighters on the front lines and provide the necessary equipment for logistical support when faced with prolonged large incidents.

Of course, any suggestion of an integrated fire department system will undoubtedly evoke fierce condemnation from many groups and individuals. If our local politicians can resist the urge to score political points and listen to reason, then perhaps the time to look is now. Fire chiefs know best.

It’s time to listen to them.

diversity of area wildlife The Editor, Re. “Some bear advice from longtime mountain dweller” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Sept. 9).

In reference to the comments in the column by Janet Klopp, I agree with most of the sensible advice she offered. But I was puzzled by her reminding us about all the other animals living on Burke Mountain.

I have lived here for 43 years and lament the fact that the diversity of animals has

diminished. I haven’t seen a raccoon for several years.

Likewise, bird species such as grouse, pilated woodpeckers and Stellar’s jays have also seemed to vanish, although they used to be encountered frequently on our property.

I have no doubt that the development on Burke has made us poorer in that we see fewer animals than before it came upon us, although the bears and coyotes are still with us.

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

‘LOW’ TAXES? WHAT ABOUT ICBC? The Editor, I recently received what is the first, I’m sure, of many provincial election mail-outs delivered to my home. It says we in B.C. are keeping taxes low. That is what the candidate wants me to believe.

paper, I saw that ICBC is going to increase car insurance rates again and the paper showed a picture of a terrible car crash.

The fact is that our provincial government has taken million of dollars from ICBC into general revenue but the government dare not call it tax, so what is it? This has been

The townhouses on the Hoy Creek co-op property off Glen Drive in Coquitlam are boarded up and the plan is to tear them down.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

CMHC appoints receiver, says co-op in default of mortgage continued from front page

But until he is told for certain the he must vacate, he said he is unable to access any of the supports available through BC Housing that would assist with his relocation.

“None of us can start the process to live anywhere else,” he told The Tri-City News. “We are in limbo.”

Issues with the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op have been ongoing for years.

Bad plumbing, poor design and elements of leaky-condo construction have made the 60 townhouse units uninhabitable, with the last tenant moving out over a year ago.

A fire broke out in one of the vacant properties last month, which led to a letter from the city of Coquitlam stating that the structures must be demolished as soon as possible.

CMHC stated in court filings that demolition of the townhouses would cost $2 million, an amount they said the co-op is unable to pay.

Two years ago, Hoy Creek board members put forward a plan that involved selling a portion of the property at market rates and using the proceeds to finance the redevelopment of affordable housing on the remaining parcel of land.

Society members have even been in discussions with a developer, according to court documents, although CMHC said the co-op does not have the resources to move the strategy forward.

Instead, CMHC stated that it wants PwC to prepare a marketing and redevelopment strategy that will allow the mortgage provider to recoup its money.

In court documents, the Crown corporation stated the plan will likely involve demolishing “some (or all) of the apartment buildings (in addition to the demolition of the townhouse

buildings) to make way for redevelopment.”

CMHC did not agree to an interview, telling The Tri-City News that because the matter is before the courts, it could not comment. Representatives from the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op also declined to make a statement.

But in court documents, the co-op pushed back against some of CMHC’s assertions.

It noted that the arrears only amount to $274,662, and that aside from 2013 and 2014, all mortgage payments have been made on time.

In the co-op’s filing, Hoy Creek values the land at greater than $20 million and said that

it had secured creditors, including developer Townline Ventures, that would allow them to cover the CMHC debt in full. But it claims it is unable to make the payment while the property is in receivership and overseen by PwC. “The respondent faces considerable prejudice if this relief is not granted, particularly in the costs and delays occasioned by the receivership and the potential loss of the lands. That loss would result in the loss of affordable housing to its members.”

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said despite the uncertainty, he has received assurances that CMHC intends to

maintain affordable housing units on the property. He added that the recent court action is consistent with the original plan of selling a piece of the land and using the proceeds to build affordable housing on the remaining part of the property.

“CMHC has made it clear to me that their goal is re-establishing those housing units,” he said, later adding that the legal proceedings “have raised my eyebrows, but it hasn’t raised any alarms yet.”

The matter will be back in court next Tuesday, when PwC’s receivership is set to expire. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

The Tri-CiTy News

In just a few days, organizers of the 55+ B.C. Games will get a chance to see a year’s worth of planning and hard work come together.

More than 3,200 athletes and 1,200 volunteers from across the province will begin pouring into Coquitlam this weekend to take part in the annual sporting event ahead of Wednesday’s opening ceremonies and cauldron lighting at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Pat Meyers, one of many organizers, said he is looking forward to seeing the host society’s efforts finally pay off.

“It has been a year in the making,” he said. “It started in August of last year. We shadowed the North Vancouver games to get a feel for what was going on over there. It is really great to watch it all come together.”

There is a reason many cities vie to host the 55+ B.C. Games.

Meyers said the event not only fosters a healthy sense of community through sport but it’s estimated it generates more than $3 million in economic spinoffs.

For many competitors, the games are an opportunity to take a little holiday and connect with friends and family, he added.

“It is fantastic for the community. [The athletes] will stay at hotels and eat at restaurants… and take advantage of the services in Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities as a whole,” he said, later adding, “The 55-and-over group have money to spend.”

Most importantly, the event is about sports, Meyers said.

While some athletes are more competitive than others, many are just here to make some friends and improve on

Colouring and connecting Be aware of, help those who with dementia sufferers might be wandering or lost ON WEDNESDAY

The Tri-CiTy News

Colouring books for adults have become popular for reducing stress but now there is a new version on the market to help families connect with their older loved ones who have dementia.

Created by Coquitlam duo Karen Tyrell, a dementia consultant, and Rose Kapp, an illustrator, Home Life Memories is a creative way to keep the conversation going during visits with friends or family members who are struggling with shortterm memory loss.

“When families go visit, they don’t know what to say, they don’t know what to do,” said Tyrell, who said she and Kapp came up with the idea of a colouring book when they shared contact information at a meeting of the Valley Women’s Network, an organization for professional women.

The two had seen the popularity of adult colouring books and decided to share their knowledge and artistic skills in a book that would prompt reminiscences about home and life memories.

Just released this month, the colouring book has large but simply rendered drawings of common household items, such as ornamental tea cups

KAREN TYRELL or a garden swing, that family and friends can colour together while talking about the memories these pictures bring up.

“If any family members go back and reminisce, they’d find the old memories are still there and they would have more connectedness with that person,” Tyrell said.

Each drawing has a song to go along with it that the family member or caregiver can start to sing to see if it can spark even more happy memories.

Tyrell said music is retained in the brain and can be another way for families to connect.

“I used to sing ‘You are my Sunshine,’” Tyrell says of her work in recreation therapy, “and you’d see their eyes light up.”

There are also trivia questions and simple exercises in the book to help stimulate the

brain.

“They feel good about themselves when they complete it,” Tyrell said, adding “Families might be surprised at how much they know.”

If the book helps make those awkward visits more comfortable, Tyrell will have achieved her goal.

“The feedback so far has just warmed my heart. This is what I wanted, it works.”

“Can I help?”

Those three words could stop a crisis before it happens if they help a person with dementia be reunited with their family.

And it’s the hope of the Alzheimer Society of BC that more communities will become “dementia-friendly” through civic engagement and involvement.

“I think we all want to be good neighbours. This is the away we can do that — by building a more dementiafriendly community,” said Rebecca Morris, manager of advocacy and education.

One of the most obvious ways people can help is to be alert to people who may appear to need assistance but don’t ask for it.

Dementias, including those related to Alzheimer’s, cause changes to the brain that might result in confusion, disorientation and poor communication skills. Consequently, some 60% of dementia sufferers will experience wandering at some time — and some don’t realize they are lost or can’t communicate their need for help.

Morris said that shouldn’t stop someone from offering

assistance — possibly risking embarrassment if help is declined — to prevent a tragedy.

“It’s incumbent on the whole society to treat wandering as a serious issue,” Morris told The Tri-City News.

Here are some signs to watch for and things to do:

MISSING

If someone goes missing: • Quickly search the vicinity of where the person was last seen.

• Check for car keys, luggage or other items that may indicate where the person may have gone. People who wander sometimes take the car or transit.

• Contact the police.

Inform them if the person is registered with the Medic Alert Safely Home program, a bracelet with identification.

• Notify the police of any locations that the person may wander to, such as a former

workplace, previous address or favourite shop.

• Coquitlam RCMP recommend you have a recent, highquality photo on hand and an up-to-date medical profile to provide to police. Let them know if your loved one is wearing jewelry that can help with identification.

• Alert friends and neighbours to the situation.

• Have someone stay at home in case the person returns.

LOST

Indications that someone is lost and what to do: • You might notice they haven’t moved from their spot or are pacing or they are at a bus stop watching several buses go by.

• Ask if they need assistance in a calm, clear voice.

• If they say they are fine but appear in distress, consider calling 911.

• Stay with that person until help arrives.

THINGS-TO-DO GUIDE: SEPT. 16 – 18

Join the Terry Fox Run fun and be part of the Marathon of Hope SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

There’s a lot of good stuff going on this weekend, but make sure you save a spot on Sunday morning for the 36th annual Terry Fox Run, where the whole family can be part of the Marathon of Hope — and Terry’s enduring legacy for cancer research.

Friday, Sept. 16 MASTER PLAN

Residents from all over the Tri-Cities use Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, and the city is inviting you to an information and master planning session for the park’s future. Have your say at the park plaza stage from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Contact parksandconsultation@coquitlam.ca or 604-927-6300 for more info.

HAPPY 20TH, EVERGREEN!

Celebrate two decades of arts, culture and entertainment at the Evergreen Cultural Centre with a season launch party at 7 p.m.

This milestone event includes a dance party with the Sweetpea Swing Band as well as rock/blues/R&B legends Brickhouse. Bid on items in the silent auction and check out the new exhibit, Theatre Theatre, in the art gallery. Tickets are $20 at 604-927-6555 or www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

FILE PHOTO/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Sunday morning marks the 36th annual Terry Fox Run, with events taking place throughout the Tri-Cities for all ages and abilities. Visit www.terryfoxrun.org for details.

Saturday, Sept. 17 WALK FOR SHIN

Three years ago, Shin Noh went for a walk and hasn’t been seen since. The Coquitlam resident, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, was the subject of an extensive search and was the inspiration behind the BC Silver Alert system, which uses social media to quickly spread news of a missing person with cognitive impairments. Noh’s family continues to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and BC Silver Alert with the third annual Walk for Shin, starting from Eagle Ridge United Church (2913 Glen Dr.) from 9 to 10:15 a.m.

(Pinetree Village, Prairie Avenue and Ottawa Street) is hosting a food drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help stock the Share food bank shelves for turkey time. Visit www.bctfooddrive.org for details.

HERITAGE PICNIC

Three-legged racing, tug-of-war, potato sack races — they’ll all be happening at Coquitlam’s Community Heritage Picnic at Blue Mountain Park to celebrate the city’s 125th anniversary. Join the 1925-themed fun and enjoy crafts, music, food and much more from noon to 4:30 p.m. Visit coquitlam125.ca/picnic for more info.

The Battle at Courcelette in September 1916 marked the beginning of Canada’s role in the Battle of the Somme and, with two important tactical innovations, set the stage for one of the few Allied victories in this deadly chapter of the First World War. Guest speaker John Goheen will be at the Port Moody Station Museum for a talk on Courcelette at 1 p.m., followed by a photo re-enactment. Visit portmoodymuseum.org or 604-939-1648 for info.

51-year-old Kelly felt body pain especially on the neck, shoulder, waist and back every day and night over the past few years. She tried everything and finally came to Acupuncture by a TCM doctor and Acupuncturist Dr. Wang who used TCM technique and Acupuncture to help her and relieve her pain.

TC SPOTLIGHT 24-HOUR CRUNCH SUCCESS

The Pacific Open Heart Association pumped in a donation recently for Eagle Ridge Hospital’s cardiology department to purchase event and holder monitors at the Port Moody health care facility.

Still buzzing with the morning’s announcement that the Evergreen Line will open before Christmas, the Tri-City business community met last Thursday to hear what the area’s mayors had to say at an annual Chamber of Commerce feast.

NICOLE VIDAL OF BUTTER STUDIOS

Port Moody’s Guy Black hit the Coquitlam Crunch last Friday for a 24hour trek up and down the hill to raise money for a diversity challenge.

Black set a new record at 20 climbs and has now applied to the Guinness Book of World Records to have it documented.

Black told The Tri-City News his energy hit bottom around 3 a.m. Saturday “when I just wanted to close my eyes so I walked with my eyes shut while holding onto Serena Lee [of Diane Lee’s Martial Arts Club] as she crunched up the hill.”

The pair had some curious onlookers, including bears and coyotes, and by Saturday morning — when the official fundraiser crunch began — “people started to cheer me on and that totally energized me,” he wrote in an email. “My body was sore, either my left ankle was stiff and hurt or my calf muscles were like two solid rocks but having more and more people cheering me on was great and kept me going.”

Among those who assisted Black on his 24-hour climb were Coquitlam-Maillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson, Carol Todd of the Amanda Todd Legacy Society and Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart.

TIFF JEWELS

The 10th annual IF Adventure Challenge, a kayak, bike and run race at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park last Saturday, brought in $100,000 for the I Am Someone anti-bullying society and Sport for Life. Tri-City mayors Greg Moore, Richard Stewart, John McEwen and Mike Clay took part in the fundraiser.

Douglas College took in $250,000 from the Joyce Family Foundation (of Tim Horton’s fame) this month for a new bursary to help first-year students at the institution, which has a campus in Coquitlam.

Several award-winning stars were spotted on the TIFF red carpet and at other venues this month wearing jewellery pieces by Port Moody’s Penelope Bridge.

The owner of Flying Fox Art and Design had her baubles on show at the DPA gift suite during the Toronto International Film Festival. An Ontario native, Bridge said she’s inspired by water and animals for her designs. “Some say the fox is a magical creature, a shape-shifter that takes on new forms,” she said in a news release. “My art is no different. I forage the globe for stones that tell a story: one of wonder, beauty and fairness to its land and those who walk it and transform it.”

THE ENVIRONMENT

B.C.’s climate INaction plan disappointing GREEN SCENE

ELAINE GOLDS

T

he so-called Climate Leadership Plan quietly released by the B.C. government in mid August was anything but an example of leadership. Instead, this plan was a complete abandonment of the sensible plan adopted in 2007 by then premier Gordon Campbell.

By now, we should all be aware that runaway global warming portends nothing but catastrophe for future generations, with severe weather changes and increasing drought, which could lead to civic strife and social unrest.

It’s certainly not a scenario we should be wishing upon our children and grandchildren if we truly care for them.

Effective action and true leadership are urgently needed.

In 2007, total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in B.C. stood at 66 Mt (million tonnes). The Campbell plan was to reduce this to 44 Mt by 2020 and then down to 13 Mt by 2050.

We were reasonably successful in achieving a reduction especially when the B.C. government introduced a carbon tax and other programs in 2008. For a short time, our GHG emissions decreased in B.C. During the initial phase of the carbon tax, per capita consumption of fuel in B.C. fell by 16% even though fuel consumption increased 3% in the rest of Canada.

Then, Premier Christy Clark froze the carbon tax in 2011 and our GHG emissions began to climb again. Nonetheless, we are still 6% below 2007 emissions but we are not close to achieving the targeted 2020 reduction.

And what exactly accounts for all our GHG emissions in B.C.?

About 20% of them come from you and me, with about two thirds coming from transportation and one third for heating the buildings in which we live.

Another 20% comes from forestry, mining and other industries while fossil fuel industries alone contribute an additional 20%.

Commercial transport and buildings contribute 28% while simply dealing with our waste generates another 8%.

The final 5% of our GHG emissions come from deforestation due to forest fires and loss of the carbon-storage

capacity of forests when they are logged. Half of this is apparently offset when trees are replanted but it takes decades before the carbon storage capacity of a mature tree is regained.

The new Climate Leadership Plan simply eliminates the 2020 goalposts and instead, substitutes a plan to achieve a reduction down to only 41 Mt by 2050. Thus, commitments made in the 2008 plan have vanished into thin air.

Rather than invest in new public transit initiatives, the government instead promises to reduce the emissions associated “with idling” by building a new George Massey bridge at an estimated cost of $3.5 billion.

Spending this money on new public transit would be far more effective at reducing transportation emissions instead of encouraging more dependence on cars by building one very expensive bridge. The new bridge will also support a massive increase in tanker traffic in the lower Fraser River — and this is thought by many to be the true rationale behind its construction.

It’s also strange that almost half of the proposed reduction in emissions by 2050 is intended to come from only the forest industry and agriculture.

Is the intention of government to plant trees but no longer

BC’S ONLY FALL RV SHOW

harvest them?

The new plan is also strangely silent about the future of the carbon tax except that it will remain frozen until 2018. Increasing the carbon tax would be an extremely effective way to reduce our emissions — especially if it were finally applied to all carbon emissions. Right now, the fossil fuel industry gets significant

breaks on the carbon tax even while schools and hospitals pay it. Applying the carbon tax to all GHG emissions instead of the 70% now covered would have been a fair, significant and long overdue improvement.

To my mind, a future role for the liquefied natural gas industry in B.C. is very questionable given our need to reduce GHG emissions. Cooling natural

B.C. is 6% below 2007 greenhouse gas emissions, writes Elaine Golds, but we aren’t close to achieving a targeted 2020 reduction.

gas to a liquid for shipping is a hugely energy-intensive process. The proposed Pacific Northwest LNG plan would emit 9.2 Mt of GHG annually — and that’s just one plant. The B.C. government is suggesting these LNG plants could, instead, use electricity generated at Site C for gas compression.

This implies BC Hydro would be spending $10 billion to build Site C to mainly subsidize the natural gas industry in B.C. It’s not surprising many people in B.C. are opposed to LNG — expanding this industry is not compatible with an effective climate action plan.

B.C.’s new Climate Leadership Plan is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

Subsidies to the fossil fuel industry will continue, emissions will continue to rise. There is no plan for effective actions to reduce GHG emissions to the level we need to achieve by 2020 or even by 2050.

Taking a variety of actions to minimize global warming is the most pressing issue of our times. If this government cannot produce a credible climate action plan, maybe it’s time for a new government.

KAREN’S SLOW COOKER VEGGIE STEW

3 large tomatoes, chopped or 1 28 oz tin canned tomatoes 1 large onion, chopped 2 carrots, chopped ½ winter squash such as kabocha, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped 1 cup chopped bok choy 1 bunch spinach or kale. If using Kale, chop into bite-size pieces 1 ear corn, kernels removed 1 small zucchini, chopped 1 cup chopped oyster mushrooms 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp garam masala ¼ cup AJI Chicken or vegetable stock, if needed Lemon juice Salt and pepper Place the ingredients — except stock, lemon juice and salt and pepper — in a slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on low for 4 hours. Check the stew after 4 hours and add either chicken or vegetable stock. The amount depends on how much liquid is in the slow cooker. Start with half a cup and add more if needed. At this point, you can also add one drained tin of chickpeas or lentils. Cook another 2-3 hours. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice This can also be made on the stove; the cooking time will be approximately 1 hour.

This recipe is great to have on hand as you can use any combination of vegetables you like. Make a big batch and store it in eight- or 16-ounce containers in the freezer. Use it as a filling for wraps. Serve it over rice. You can turn it into soup simply by adding chicken or vegetable stock.

FALL FRUIT CHUTNEY

12 cups peeled and coarsely chopped fruit ( I like to use apples, pears and cranberries) 4 cups finely chopped onions 1 jar AJI (found at market and most Save-On Foods) 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp salt 4 cups sugar 2½ cups white vinegar Combine all the ingredients in a heavy-bottom stock pot and simmer approximately 1 hour. Freeze in 8 oz portions or process in 8 oz jars in a canner. Makes approximately 20 cups — enough for sharing.

EATING WELL

September brings some new food discoveries at markets MARKET FRESH

KAREN CURTIS

H

appy September! As much as I try to write something different each column, there is a certain consistency that comes with the seasons, and life in general.

And so I must cave in and write about back-to-school.

For some, it is a joyous time.

For others, it is not.

I suspect for parents, it’s both.

The stability of routine makes the days predictable and perhaps a bit calmer but, at the same time, the drudgery of routine can make every day a bit dull.

There is nothing dull in the market world, though. This is the time of year when the bounty changes and begins to shift toward crops that keep well or are easily processed for storage. The days are cooler so

it’s a fabulous time to “put up” food.

Freezing is the easiest way.

A lot of vegetables can be frozen with nothing more than a quick wash and into a bag.

I freeze bags of tomatoes so I can make sauce later.

I also like to grate zucchini and freeze it.

We all joke about the abundance of zucchini but adding it to muffins, quick breads and cookies is a super easy way to increase the nutritional benefit of treats. If you grate it with the skin on, not only will you increase the fibre content but you also add over a quarter of your day’s Vitamin C and a good dose of potassium, too.

Suddenly, a chocolate chip zucchini muffin for breakfast isn’t such a bad idea.

You can also grate potatoes and freeze them. I like to par cook them in the microwave, with the skin on, for about four to six minutes. I let them cool, then grate them or chop them.

They can be frozen and used for hash browns, potato pancakes, soups or even a fast mash. All they need for that is a short steam to heat them up, then mash as you would regularly — great for shepherd’s pie

when you need a fast meal.

And while you are stocking up on all those lovely veggies, don’t forget to thank your farmer. It’s Farmer Appreciation Week Sept 12 to 18. You can stop by the Coquitlam Farmers Market on Sunday and show the people who grow your food some love.

B.C. is home to 19,000 farms, 98% of which are family farms.

So when you spend your food dollars at markets, you truly are supporting local families and encouraging the next generation of farmers. Good value for your dollar, I would say.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

You can do this the easy way or the hard way TAKE A HIKE

STEVE CHAPMAN HIKE OF THE WEEK Admiralty Point & Burns Point Rating: easy Time needed: 3 hours Length: 5.5 km Elevation gain: 230 m

T

his easy walk starts and finishes at the Belcarra picnic area and offers two nice viewpoints overlooking Burrard Inlet.

(Also described is an optional extension to the hike that climbs up to the Belcarra Bluffs Viewpoint. This adds another 2.6 km to the hike with an additional 300 m of climbing. The route to this viewpoint is difficult, and is only recommended for those who are proficient with a map and compass.

Those skilled enough to find the viewpoint are rewarded with a spectacular vista and a great spot to enjoy lunch.)

From the Belcarra parking lot, head towards the left side of the concession stand and pick up the trail that runs

parallel to the road. The trail will soon split; the upper trail (Springboard) heads towards Woodhaven Swamp, and the lower trail heads for Admiralty Point.

Continue on the well-signposted Admiralty Point Trail for another 1.5 km until you reach a fork in the trail near a pit toilet.

Take the right path that heads down to the water.

Admiralty Point is a rocky outcrop that juts out into Burrard Inlet, with pleasant views over the water that range from Burnaby Mountain to North Vancouver. There is also a plaque attached to the rock for those who want to learn a little more about the history of this area.

From Admiralty Point, retrace your steps back to the main trail and head right towards Burns Point, which is also well signposted. It’s about 1 km to Burns Point, with some

uphill and downhill just before reaching the viewpoint. From here, you can see down Burrard Inlet towards Port Moody and also over to Burnaby Mountain and Barnet Marine Park. To return, retrace your steps.

THE TOUGH ROUTE

For those wanting to find the Belcarra Bluffs Viewpoint, prepare for some tricky navigation: At about the half-kilometre mark on the way back, look out for a faint trail heading off into the bush on your right. Ignore the first trail (it peters out) and take the second trail, which is about 20 m further on. The trail is difficult to follow but is flagged as it winds upwards through the bush.

At the site of an extensive area of deadfall the sketchy trail intersects a more prominent trail. Follow this to the left to another T-junction in about

200 m. At the T-junction turn left again and follow the much wider trail upwards to yet another intersection. The trail heading right is less distinct than the main trail so be careful not to miss it. Follow the trail that branched right steeply upwards to another T-junction, where the way to the viewpoint is crudely signposted (left).

It’s about 300 m downhill before the trees open up into a big clearing with expansive views. Retrace your steps back to the parking lot. Although not far, this route is navigationally tricky, and is only recommended for those with map, compass and appropriate route finding skills.

Steve Chapman is a Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteer, a member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and the creator behind a detailed new map of Tri-City trails.

True West Coast Living at Westpointe

W

ith unparalleled access to expansive beaches and parks, charming local bistros and an array of new urban amenities, South Surrey has long been a sought-after community in Metro Vancouver. A welcome new addition is Westpointe, a collection of 49 single-family homes nestled in the heart of the community’s picturesque Ocean Park neighbourhood.

Presented by local developer Silk Properties, Westpointe seamlessly integrates into the existing fabric of the established community.

“Each home is unique”, says Chris Bardon, one of the principals at Silk Properties. “Alternating different trims, accents and colours ensure no two homes are alike. We paid attention to how the homes sit on the streetscape

and chose colours that blend with the neighbourhood and its proximity to the ocean,” he adds.

Envisioned by Crescent Beach firm Ankenman Associates Architects, the craftsman-inspired residences exude timeless West Coast charm and sophistication.

Expansive living spaces and elegantly appointed interiors by Erin Kenwood are standard at Westpointe. Three to fivebedroom floor plans range from 3,025 to 3,625 square feet, with distinguishing details that include overheight ceilings, matte engineered hardwood oak floors throughout main living areas and a striking gas fireplace for ambiance and daily comfort. Chef-inspired kitchens feature a sleek combination of wood veneer and shaker cabinetry with

premium Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances and Caesarstone quartz countertops. For added enjoyment and outdoor living, there are covered or open decks in the fully fenced and landscaped backyards, complete with natural gas BBQ hook-ups.

With quality craftsmanship by awardwinning local builder Trillium Projects and singular details that lend a distinct identity to each home, the atmosphere at Westpointe is ideal for entertaining, relaxing and daily family living.

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, just steps from pristine parks, top-rated schools, community centres and daily amenities, Westpointe offers the best of natural surroundings and urban convenience.

Since introducing Westpointe, the interest from the local community has

been tremendous. With three-quarters of the development already sold, many of the first homes are now completing and the community is beginning to take shape. This October, a highly anticipated new release of homes will feature some of the largest lots and most desirable south-facing locations in the development.

To find out more about Westpointe, call 604-833-9193, e-mail info@ westpointeliving.com or register at www.westpointeliving.com. The Westpointe Presentation Centre is located at 1551 – 130 St, Surrey and is currently open by private appointment.

More information will be available in the coming weeks on the public reopening of the Presentation Centre and the next release of homes.

Goble out as Panthers bench boss Mike Renner gets coaching nod as team splits its weekend matches

BY GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

The Port Moody Panthers struggled in their season home opener, falling 3-2 to rival Ridge Meadows Flames at the Port Moody Arena Saturday night. The club will get back at it on Saturday when they host the Delta Ice Hawks. Puck drop is at 7:45 p.m.

The Port Moody Panthers are firing up the 2016-’17 season with a new boss behind the bench.

Mike Renner is taking over as interim head coach after the team relieved Mark Goble of his duties earlier this week after only six months on the job.

“At this time, we have decided to make a change in the direction of our team,” said Panthers general manager Frank Iantorno in a brief statement Tuesday.

Goble took the reins last April and was with the club as it put together its roster in the off-season. He had previously led the Coquitlam Minoe Hockey pee wee A1 squad and midget teams between 2013’16.

The coaching change is not the only shakeup in the Cats’ organization.

On Thursday, the club an-

nounced it had acquired Cole Williams from the Surrey Knits in exchange for Ryan Spencer and future considerations.

Williams has 71 junior ‘A’ games under his belt, where he played with the Langley Rivermen in the BCHL and the Notre Dame Hounds in the SJHL. The 19-year-old started the season with the Trail Smoke Eaters before being released this week.

The team has also named forwards Sam Bodnaruk and Cole Iantorno alternate captains for the season, along with defencemen Alex McGovern and Stefano Centanni.

The season got off to a shaky start on Saturday for the Cats, when the club fell to the Ridge Meadows Flames in their season home opener.

The visitors jumped out to an early lead thanks to goals from Brandon Galbraith and a power play marker from Bradley Crompton to go up 2-0 heading into the first intermission. Later, Bodnaruk’s unassisted tally put the Panthers within striking distance, however hopes of tying things up quickly were dashed when Andrew Strelezki scored for the Flames 30 seconds later. see SERBAN, page 35

2016 PARALYMPICS

No medal luck for Team Canada’s goalball squad Zeividavi misses the podium with loss to Lithuania GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Ahmad Zeividavi and Team Canada’s goalball team were bounced out of the quarterfinals after falling 5-4 to Lithuania during the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio last Wednesday.

The loss means that Canada will finish no higher than eighth place in the event, behind China and ahead of Algeria. Earlier in the tournament the squad finished fourth in their pool after losing to Brazil 11-3 in the opening round-robin match followed by a 17-13 loss to Algeria and a 6-3 loss to Sweden.

This is the second para-

Coquitlam’s Ahmad Zeividavi and the rest of Team Canada’s goalball squad fell to Lithuania in the quarterfinals at the 2016 Rio Paralympics this week. lympics for the 31-year-old Zeividavi, who was part of Team Canada’s 10th-place finish in London during the 2012 Paralympics. He was also

part of the national team that took bronze during the 2015 Parapan Ams in Toronto.

Meanwhile, Port Coquitlam’s Nathan Stein

finished seventh in the 100 m freestyle, posting a time of 54.43 seconds in the finals on Tuesday. During the qualification round, Stein came in sec-

ond in his grouping, qualifying wtih a time of 54.56 seconds.

He was also part of Team Canada’s men’s 4 x 100 m freestyle relay, which finished seventh with a time of 4:12.60.

Ukraine took gold in the event, followed by Brazil with silver and China with bronze.

Three Tri-City athletes were selected to join Team Canada’s 2016 Paralympic team.

Earlier in the Games, PoCo’s Doug Blessin shot his way to a sixth overall showingg in the finals of the mixed 10 m air rifle prone event.

The 43-year-old athlete came in fifth during the qualification round with a score of 634.7, a result that allowed him to move on to the finals. But he came up short in the medal round, finishing with a result of 124.9, good enough for sixth place overall in the competition.

A WHALE OF A TIME

PJHL HOCKEY

OT goal gives Cats first win continued from page 34

A power play goal from Cole Iantorno, who was named third star of the game, in the third period rounded out the scoring as the club suffered its first loss of the season.

Things went better for Port Moody the next night on the road, when they took on the Grandview Steelers at the Burnaby Winter Club.

An early goal from Kyle Nichols assisted by Keito Lee put the Cats up 1-0 and they re-took the lead in the second period when Trey Cadwell netted a goal on the

power play.

However, Steelers’ forward Christian Bettiol tied things up in the third and it took an overtime marker from Lucian Serban to help the Panthers notch their first win of the season.

The club will look to improve on their 1-1 record on Saturday when they host the Delta Ice Hawks at the Port Moody Arena. Puck drop is at 7:45 p.m.
