REAL ESTATE

Property sales figures tumble in the Tri-Cities Data shows softening in market conditions compared to last year DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Uncertainty in the Metro Vancouver real estate market has spilled over into the Tri-Cities with detached home sales plunging over the summer and prices also retreating.

Recent data from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) show Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have been hit by the cooling market but REBGV president Dan

Morrison cautions against reading too much into monthly statistics.

“Detached housing has been taking a hit in terms of sales and in terms of price pressure but townhouses and apartments are still very strong,” Morrison said.

The impact of the foreign buyer’s tax is more likely being felt on the higher end of the housing market in West Vancouver and Richmond, Morrison said, while Tri-City real estate is impacted more by buyer fatigue and “aggressive pricing” by home sellers.

“Those two things were softening the market anyways,” Morrison said. see FEDERAL INITIATIVES, page 7

ARENA STRATEGY

Curlers want rink plans put on ice Opposition to facility amalgamation plans SARAH PAYNE

Some 1,700 riders rolled from Coquitlam Centre mall and through Port Moody Sunday morning for the 38th annual Vancouver Motorcycle Christmas Toy Run, which finished at the PNE in Vancouver. Chris Bayliss, executive director of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, said 2,000 unwrapped toys came in — and $16,000 — on the day for families in financial need.

The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam is finding itself between a rock and a hard sheet of ice as it grapples with competing demands from curlers and hockey players for a

limited supply of rink space.

At Monday’s council-in-committee meeting representatives from the Coquitlam Sports Centre Users’ Association and the Coquitlam Curling Club pleaded with council members for a way to accommodate all sports enthusiasts, and suggested it was time to build a standalone curling facility.

Coquitlam River sockeye can grow to a hefty size, as shown by volunteers (left) placing a spawner into the Coquitlam Lake reservoir in a 2008 photo. A male kokanee (above right) is ready for spawning and eggs are collected (bottom right) from a female kokanee. The kokanee fry from these eggs are being raised in a hatchery on Vancouver Island. The juvenile smolts will be released into the Coquitlam River next spring in the hopes of restoring the local sockeye run.

Restoring fish runs on Coqutilam River New program seeks to bolster sockeye numbers DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Fraser River sockeye had one of the worst returns on record this summer but that hasn’t stopped a local group from trying to bring back the once plentiful fish to the Coquitlam River.

A hundred years ago there were so many sockeye in the Coquitlam River that the local Kwikwetlem First Nation named themselves and the river after the prolific red fish.

Today, though, the run is barely recognizable with only one fish returning this sum-

mer to its historical spawning grounds.

Instead of giving up, however, the 13-year-old Kwikwetlem Sockeye Restoration Program is redoubling efforts to bring back sockeye to the waterway, says Craig Orr, a local authority on salmon and a consultant to both the Kwikwetlem First Nation and Watershed Watch Society.

“There’s a high cultural community and spiritual value in trying to restore these

fish,” said Orr, who explained that the restoration program, undertaken by KFN with the support of BC Hydro, Metro Vancouver and other stakeholders, has been struggling with several challenges.

Now, however, a new hatchery program is underway that could regenerate the sockeye salmon population.

Last fall, the group collected and fertilized 5,000 lake kokanee [which have similar DNA to the migrating sockeye] for raising to the smolt stage at

the Rosewall Creek Hatchery on Vancouver Island.

The goal is to release the juvenile salmon at the base of the Coquitlam dam next spring and, if they can make their way to the ocean — imprinting the taste and smell of the creek along the way — these specially-raised salmon should return to the Coquitlam River in greater numbers than have been seen in a generation.

“This is very exciting — we did this to bolster the population. We’re hoping with even low [ocean] survival we’re going to get some of these smolts,” said Orr, who added that he’d like to see salmon return in the 100 to 200 range, which would be “spectacular.”

However, the group is also working with another challenge: finding a way to get

salmon smolts to migrate out of the Coquitlam Lake reservoir. Orr said the tiny fish are failing to find the small outlet in the dam, some may be diverted to a pipe to Buntzen Lake, while others may not be surviving the migration through the outlet.

EXPERIMENTS

Consultants with experience in designing and constructing fish passages have looked at the site and a proposal will be presented to BC Hydro for more research and a possible solution this fall.

“We think it’s entirely feasible to resurrect this run [but] we need an engineering fix right now,” said Orr, who noted that the company R2 Resource Consultants has designed fish passage structures

in the U.S. For example, some dams have a system that creates a current drawing salmon to an outlet to the river. However, a Coquitlam River solution could be as simple as raising the water level at the Coquitlam dam and creating a specially designed outlet for the fish to depart, Orr said.

“Those are the kind of experiments that need to be done along with the engineering feasibility of how to get these fish out.”

Orr agreed that poor ocean survival of sockeye is also a concern, but he said giving the fish a good start in life in the Coquitlam River is one step towards helping the at-risk salmon make a comeback. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

COQUITLAM

Personal stories tell history of Fraser Mills site As the city of Coquitlam readies for the redevelopment of Fraser Mills, five groups will fete the history of the former sawmill site.

On Tuesday, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., the public can hear from the Beedie Development Group about its plans for the Maillardville waterfront property.

As well, Mayor Richard Stewart will speak about the

historical context of the area and participants can also listen to personal stories from families whose relatives worked at Fraser Mills, once the largest sawmill in the Commonwealth.

A social hour will start at 6 p.m. and feature francophone folk music from fiddler Denis Leclerc as well as archival photos, artifacts and activities.

There is no cost to attend; however, registration is appreci-

ated by calling 604-937-4155.

The Oct. 11 event at the Poirier branch of the Coquitlam Public Library (575 Poirier St.) is sponsored by the library, Coquitlam 125, the Coquitlam Heritage Society, Société Francophone de Maillardville and Vancity.

DEVELOPMENT

A major tenant in the Beedie Development Group’s

Fraser Mills project is closer to zoning changes that will allow it to move its headquarters and manufacturing from Burnaby to Coquitlam.

John Davis, the co-founder of AG Hair, was the only speaker at a public hearing Monday on proposed changes that would reduce the industrial density on one lot at Fraser Mills and shift it to another lot. It would also

reduce the required parking standards from 1.5 stalls to 1 stall per 100 sq. m, which would be in keeping with other industrial zones in Coquitlam.

Davis told Coquitlam council that since he and his wife started the company in their basement in 1989 it has grown to more than 80 employees.

“The key to our success has been manufacturing our own

products in our own facility,” Davis said. “We are truly excited about the prospect of building a new, state-of-theart manufacturing facility in Coquitlam.”

Council passed second and third readings of the zoning bylaw amendments and will consider final reading and adoption at a future meeting. jwarren@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

The Tri-CiTy News

As Metro Vancouver seeks support this fall from member municipalities on its affordable housing strategy and food system action plan, the regional agency is also taking heat from Port Coquitlam city council for piling on the paperwork.

Last month, before backing the two documents, PoCo city council took aim at the organization before Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs the Metro board of directors.

“I’m concerned that Metro gets bigger and bigger and bigger and never downsizes to be concise at delivery then move away,” said Coun. Mike Forrest while speaking about the 2016 Regional Affordable Housing Strategy, which Metro adopted in May. And Forrest said while Metro will soon be the largest housing provider in the region — surpassing BC Housing — it shouldn’t be filling in the gap

because the province isn’t.

“Just because you may do it better is not the reason for us to take it over,” he said.

Coun. Darrell Penner said he, too, is frustrated with Metro becoming bloated. Though he didn’t want to be seen as “dissing” the agency, “the machine can’t keep getting bigger. By taking more and more of these projects, it just becomes a larger bureaucracy.”

Coun. Glenn Pollock said PoCo council had advocated for a national affordable housing strategy when it last met with Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon.

Meanwhile, council also took another shot at Metro over the 2016 Regional Food System Action Plan. “The challenge is Metro is taking on too much,”

Forrest repeated, noting such a plan should have been handled by the Agricultural Land Commission.

“It’s another download,” Forrest said, “and I’m not in favour of us continuing.”

Moore said the food plan opens the conversation about food security and production.

It’s not the first time Moore has heard concerns from his council — or from other municipalities — about Metro’s desire to take on causes outside of its mandate.

In the past, Coquitlam city councillors have expressed frustration with what they perceive as Metro wading into deeper waters as well as its growing costs and lack of accountability.

A call to Metro Vancouver was not returned by The TriCity News’ press time.

Injured in a car crash?

Redbrick Properties will be constructing a 41-unit purpose-built rental at Charland Avenue and Blue Mountain Street. The company said the project is the first of its kind in Coquitlam in more than 40 years.

COURTESY OF REDBRICK PROPERTIES

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

Coq. gets first rental building in decades SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam could see its first purpose-built rental apartment building in several decades finished within the next two years.

At Monday’s meeting council approved zoning amendments and a development permit for a four-storey market rental building at Charland Avenue and Blue Mountain Street.

The Redbrick Properties Inc. building will feature 41 units — one studio, 34 one-bedrooms and six two-bedrooms — that will remain rentals for the life of the building. A housing agreement bylaw also approved Monday requires that the units not be stratified and cannot be rented for less than 30 consecutive days to prevent Airbnbstyle rentals.

“In approving this market rental housing development, the city of Coquitlam’s council has shown true leadership and has demonstrated they absolutely intend to fulfill the objec-

tives of their recently endorsed Housing Affordability Strategy,” said Abdul Jiwan, Redbrick Properties president, in a written statement.

Jiwan said the building will be the first standalone market rental project to be built in Coquitlam in the last 40 years.

“Our beautiful and efficiently designed building will help to revitalize the entire Austin Heights neighbourhood,” Jiwan added.

The Charland entry will include a water feature, cultured-stone retaining walls, “Welcome to Austin Heights” signage and prominent corner treatments, according to a staff report.

Redbrick’s requested zoning variances included reducing the required common amenity space area by 84%, from 205 sq. m to 33 sq. m, essentially converting indoor amenity space to a rental manager office. An outdoor amenity space will include a barbecue and seating area.

Redbrick justified the reduction, saying it would increase the amount of rentable square footage and keep construction costs lower, adding without the need for strata council meetings the indoor amenity space isn’t necessary.

Parking will also be reduced, from 52 spaces (44 resident and eight visitor spaces) to 44 (41 resident and three visitor).

A study of nearby rental buildings showed they required less parking. Redbrick has also partnered with ZipCar to provide an on-street car share service with a one-year membership included for initial tenants.

Jiwan said they hope to begin construction early in the new year and have the building ready in about 18 months.

Market rental rates have yet to be determined, however; since Redbrick initiated their proposal in late 2014 their construction cost estimates have risen by 38%. spayne@tricitynews.com

REAL ESTATE

Federal initiatives to cool housing market continued from front page

He also suggested that it will take time to see how Vancouver real estate reacts to federal initiatives to cool the housing market, such as rules to stop non-resident foreign buyers from claiming a principal residence to avoid paying tax on capital gains and stricter mortgage rules for homebuyers with lower down payments.

“We’re fairly optimistic — anytime there’s a move such as a change in interest rates or government policy, it creates some interest and everybody takes a deep breath.”

But for Coquitlam, the slowing of home sales in the months of July through September are clearly revealed

by REBGV stats showing detached home sales dropping 47.4% to 225 from 428 compared to the same period last year. Townhouse sales also dropped 30.7% from 163 transactions to 113.

The only bright spot was apartment sales which rose 2.3% from 309 to 316 in the 2016 summer period compared to the same months in 2015.

COQUITLAM ARENA STRATEGY

‘To remove curling is only a band-aid’ continued from front page

“We’re accepting staff’s recommendation that the draft arena use strategy be adopted with one caveat… that the Coquitlam Curling Association be engaged in building a business plan that may justify a standalone facility,” said Brian Keenan in speaking for the CSCUA. Such a facility could also accommodate dry-floor users in the off season, freeing up a rink for hockey players and skaters at about a third of the estimated $20-million cost to build a new sheet, Keenan added.

Pursuing such a strategy would also help turn down some of the friction that had arisen between CSCUA members over the arena use strategy, he said.

In February Coquitlam staff tabled a report to council outlining options for maximizing

arena time at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex that identified the phasing out of curling as the best option.

According to the report, low participation rates mean the sport is heavily subsidized, only recovering 20% of the costs compared to 60% for other ice arena uses. That ice could be better used for skating or minor hockey, according to staff, to accommodate the high demand in those sports.

In September council deferred voting on the draft arena services strategy to give the CCA a chance to present its position.

“There must be more to this decision than revenue alone, there must be a human side,” said Earlene Graham, president of the CCA, on Monday. “The club has been here for 65 years; that must count for something.”

Membership was holding steady — and would be improved if the ice quality were

more consistent — and interest in the school program was growing significantly.

Indeed, Graham added, curling appeals to a broad range of ages and abilities but the fact that it’s popular among seniors should be particularly important to council members who were also set to discuss the draft seniors services strategy Monday afternoon.

A plan to amalgamate Coquitlam’s curling club with Port Moody’s was not feasible, unless it was a short-term solution while a standalone facility was being built, because it

remove curling is only a bandaid.”

Her husband, Greg Graham, the CCA’s acting treasurer and past president, said staff used incorrect information to reach their conclusions, including membership numbers, expenses and understated revenues.

“We’re being tarred and feathered with something we feel is flawed,” he said. That the curling club needs to increase its revenues is understandable, he added, “but the problem is nobody ever said anything to us at any time in the past six

would not accommodate all the school users or disabled athletes.

“The Port Moody Curling Association… does not support amalgamation,” Graham said, noting members there have indicated they are not willing to change schedules to make room for Coquitlam players.

“I believe we have been pitted against other user groups of [Poirier] in the way the strategic plan was presented,” Graham said. “Nothing has been done to improve the facility since the 1970s… the upgrade, though pretty, didn’t add any ice. To

years… we had no idea that was a problem, no idea we were being measured like this.”

The club convinced members to pay higher fees and to subsidize maintenance at the facility but in return asked for greater consistency in the ice surface.

Raul Allueva, general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said he was “taken aback” by comments that the PoMo club will not accommodate Coquitlam members and that the vision is for a Tri-Cities club. spayne@tricitynews.com

TRI-CITY CRIME

Cops find injured man during a break-in call Coquitlam RCMP are investigating a business break-in early Monday morning where they discovered an injured man.

Police received a call of a break-in to a business in the 1800-block of Pipeline Road in Coquitlam. The first officers on scene found a man in medical distress, who was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Const. Jamie Phillipson said Tuesday afternoon the man remained in serious condition in hospital and officers have not

been able to speak with him yet.

He is not believed to have any connection with either of the sand and gravel companies in that area Pipeline Road.

POCO ARREST

No charges have been laid after a high-risk arrest in Port Coquitlam last week.

Coquitlam RCMP and members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) entered a home in the 1500-block of Grant Street on the morn-

ing of Sept. 29. Eight people were located inside the home and taken into custody, interviewed at the detachment and released. A search of the home, described as a “problem residence,” yielded drugs and stolen property, said Const.

Jamie Phillipson, who added police are working with Port Coquitlam’s bylaws staff to prevent re-occupation of the home. No formal charges have been brought forward and the investigation is ongoing.

B.C. SUPREME COURT

Trial underway in 2011 Coq. shooting SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

The case against a Surrey man accused in a brazen daytime shooting outside a Mr. Lube location in Coquitlam has finally come to trial — more than five years after the incident.

Sukhdeep Singh Poony’s trial began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, where he is facing charges of attempted murder and gun-related offences in connection with the

Sandhu was known to police and was the victim of another, possibly gang-related, targeted attack.

Sandhu’s criminal record included firearms charges in May 2010 that were later stayed.

He was expected to be a witness against Poony, but a Crown counsel spokesperson was unable to say whether Sandhu’s death would affect the case.

Poony’s trial is expected to run for nearly four weeks.

Coquitlam shooting as well as extortion, uttering threats and assault stemming from incidents in Surrey and Vancouver.

One person who won’t be testifying is the victim of the 2011 shooting.

Jaskaran Singh Sandhu was shot several times and suffered serious, potentially life-threatening injuries in what police called a targeted shooting. But in January 2013 his body was found near the side of the road in a rural area near the Surrey/ Delta border.

OUR OPINION

Secure care model provides safe place for youth at risk T he province of B.C. should look carefully at a secure care model for children to ensure that their rights, special needs and concerns are addressed.

Locking up children against their will for their protection seems at first glance to be a Victorianera remedy that could, in the wrong hands, unfairly put troublesome teens into institutions.

But a more nuanced approach to secure care could, with appropriate legal safeguards and facilities, provide safe placement of children and youth who might otherwise be at high risk of self harm.

The key to ensuring that troublesome teens aren’t simply put away when their parents or “the system” lose control over them is to make sure that they are placed in a situa-

tion that can actually help them deal with the drug addiction that is putting them into harm’s way.

Currently, seven Canadian provinces have some form of secure care for children that allow them to be involuntarily placed into a facility to deal with their drug addition, typically after a doc-

tor’s order, and then only with several restrictions, such as time limitations.

B.C. Child and Youth Representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has recommended the province also explore some form of secure care that would see vulnerable children and youth be apprehended but only as a last resort.

CONTACT

email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 www.tricitynews.com/opinion

Children of the Street Society spokesperson Diane Sowden has dealt first hand with situations where parents are at a loss to help their kids who either can’t or won’t change their lives out of real fear about the potential consequences or apathy caused by their addiction to drugs. Often these teens are extremely vulnerable youth who have been preyed upon by older adults who lure them into prostitution with gifts and then keep them submissive with drugs.

These teens, it could be argued, could have made better choices. But that is no reason to leave them in a terrible situation. While no one doubts that it would be costly to provide an appropriate facility and level of care, the cost of doing nothing is also extremely high.

YOU SAY “I would pay $7,000 to install a speed hump on Coast Meridian. Far too often when I try to cross at the crosswalk at Greenmount there are drivers coming down the hill way over the speed limit... The speed limit is 50 km/h, not 70+... your car has brakes.”

EVERGREEN DEVELOPMENT

SkyTrain brings too much high density TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

A Coquitlam jogger said she came face to face with a bear while running along Como Lake Avenue last week. Bruins, like the ones in this file photo, are a common sight across the Tri-Cities.

BE AWARE OF BEARS TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

The Burquitlam neighbourhood is one of many areas that has seen an increase in growth since Evergreen Line construction began.

We love our cars but how are we going to navigate through all that new traffic. The Lougheed is called a highway but it has traffic lights unlike Route 1. So perhaps it should be called a boulevard.

Just try driving around Brentwood and you will get the feel of what we will expect soon in our town. You have

to ask yourself where, are the professional planners, particularly the traffic planners?

Do all the good ones work for developers? Perhaps we are just left with the ones that designed the infamous Como Lake Village parking. It seems that it is just that easy to get high rise zoning.

Brian Robinson Coquitlam

Thanks for the warning The Editor I just wanted to thank the four or five motorists who were travelling eastbound on Como Lake Avenue at about 4:40 p.m. last Friday.

I was jogging westbound along the south side of the street just east of the Seymour Drive intersection.

A car slowed down and the

driver yelled something out of the window. A few more cars honked. By the time my brain was registering what the first driver had been yelling, I saw the next car’s driver urgently pointing to the east.

By then I was fully cognizant of their warning: There was a bear up ahead of me.

Luckily there was a break

in the traffic and I quickly crossed to the north side of the street and I also did a 180 degree turn back in the direction I had come from.

Thank you to the motorists who warned me so that I didn’t literally run into a bear.

E. Perry, Coquitlam

FLOORS FOR REAL LIFE

At NuFloors, I have been involved with all aspects of floor covering - from an installer to operations manager and currently a product consultant.

When I think of flooring for my personal life, I am looking for flooring that looks good and will last a long time. I have a mixture of hardwood carpet and cork in my house. They all have stood up over time with minimal maintenance so I can spend more time doing the fun thing like golfing, fishing and hanging out with our grandchildren.

I think that 40 years in the flooring industry will be beneficial in helping clients choose the right product for there lifestyle.

The Editor So, after 40 years of planning and of waiting, the SkyTrain is finally here.

Are we all happy?

It definitely is a good thing to be able to travel from A to B and avoid traffic. The cost will be less than driving and finding parking in Vancouver.

All for a billion dollars. But hey, it is what it is.

The real problem — a humongous issue — is that our city councils have allowed what is called “densification” — a long new word for a short word called “greed.”

Ask yourself: Is this type of growth a good thing and what does it really do for the average Joe and Judy?

All along the elevated train line we have highrise buildings 45 to 60 storeys built or planned, each with thousands of very small milliondollar condos. These places are called homes by the developers and will have 80% of the residents owning cars.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Fresh Grade app helps keep parents in the loop The B.C. government has announced it wants parent input on student reporting and is seeking their comments via public meetings beginning Oct. 27 and a feedback form online.

Currently, student progress is reported in many different ways, including graded report cards parent-teacher meetings, and regular check-ins.

In some schools in School District 43, teachers are using the Fresh Grade app in which

parents are emailed when their their child’s digital portfolio has been updated.

As for how the new provincial reporting system will work, parents get to have a say. Input will be collected up to Feb. 28, 2017, then a summary report will be produced and posted online in June 2017.

The goal is to have a new reporting system in place by the 2017-’18 school year.

Meanwhile, parents with children in Grade 10 to 12 will

have an opportunity to comment on report cards in the future.

The provincial review of report cards is the next step in the revision of the kindergarten to Grade 9 curriculum.

Among the questions asked on the survey is what parents feel is important information that should be conveyed in a progress report and the level of detail needed. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

The new Foyer Maillard residential care home was built to replace the original facility constructed by the Société du Foyer Maillard, a non-profit society that formed when a French-Canadian Maillardville couple made a substantial land bequest in the 1960s.

One of the most recognizable, nominated and award-winning female vocalists in Canadian country music history returns with her tribute to the legendary Patsy Cline.

COQUITLAM SENIORS

New Foyer Maillard opens for francophone seniors $29.1 M facility will provide 125 beds to residents DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Frail elderly whose first language is French can continue to get residential care in the language they know following the opening of the new Foyer Maillard facility this week.

Foyer Maillard has a long history in the Maillardville community of Coquitlam, dating back nearly 50 years when the Bouchards donated land for affordable housing for seniors.

And on Monday, during the official opening for the $29.1-million facility, much of that history was revealed as speakers discussed the importance of having a Frenchlanguage care home to serve francophone speakers.

Commenting in both French and English, Jean Riou said the new facility brings Foyer Maillard into the 21st century.

“We are going to be able to serve the community much better than before. This is a very big step forward,” said the president of the Société du Foyer Maillard, the group that developed the original Foyer Maillard and took out a mortgage to build the new facility, located at located at 1010 Alderson Ave. In its current form, Foyer Maillard has 125 beds, 45 more than the original structure. Each room has its own washroom and the new Foyer Maillard also has a dining room, a bathing room, a beauty salon, a garden and a non-denominational spiritual space.

It was paid for with $25 million in mortgage financing arranged by BC Housing. As well Société du Foyer Maillard provided over $4.1 million in equity and Fraser Health will provide over $8.2 million in annual operating funds.

Among the speakers was Maryann Moyer of the Sisters

of the Child Jesus who said Foyer Maillard has always been welcoming to aging members of her religious order whose work in B.C. dates back more than 100 years.

“There’s a spirit here, a good one,” said Moyer, whose job is to look after sisters in care.

Fire Prevention Week Oct. 9 - 15

Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services is reminding residents to replace all smoke alarms that are more than 10 years old.

FIRE SAFETY

Check the date: Replace smoke alarms every 10 yrs.

With Fire Prevention Week running Oct. 9 to 15, Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services reminds residents to replace smoke alarms that are more than 10 years old.

To check how old your smoke alarm is, look at the date of manufacture on the back of the alarm; the alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date. PoCo’s fire department also offers these smoke alarm safety tips: • Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home (including the basement), outside each sleeping area and inside each bedroom.

• Larger homes may need additional smoke alarms.

• Never remove or disable

smoke alarms.

• Test smoke alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

• If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away.

Having a working smoke alarm reduces the chances of dying in a fire by more than 30%. Alarms older than 10 years old can be recycled through AlarmRecycle program, available in Port Coquitlam at Biggar Bottle Depot, 2577 Kingsway Ave. Fire Prevention Week takes place each year, with local fire departments educating their communities on each year’s theme, conducting elementary school fire drills and handing

out fire safety information to students. This year’s theme is “Don’t Wait — Check the Date, Replace Smoke Alarms every 10 years.”

Students in PoCo schools are invited to complete the Fire Safety Starts with You pamphlet that is sent home with them, and enter a draw for an iPad from the Office of the Fire Commissioner. Completed entry forms can be dropped off by Nov. 13 at the No. 1 Fire Hall at 1725 Broadway St. or emailed to fire@portcoquitlam.ca.

For more fire safety and prevention tips, visit www. portcoquitlam.ca/fire or email fire@portcoquitlam.ca, or call 604-927-5466.

Trump talk held at Douglas College U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump will be the focus of a public lecture at Douglas College in Coquitlam next week.

School faculty will conduct a presentation, titled Critical Realignment: Trump and the Transformation of U.S. Elections, and discuss the Republican nominee’s controversial campaign.

“There have been historic American elections, like Obama’s, but this is the first in recent times where a presidential candidate has openly suggested that the electoral

system is rigged,” said Shaun Tyakoff, a political science instructor who has been teaching TRUMP and studying U.S. politics for 45 years.

“Donald Trump, whether he wins or loses, has changed the very nature of U.S. political campaigns.”

Other faculty members participating include history

instructor Denis McKim, psychology instructor Raquel Faria Chapdelaine and philosophy instructor Mano Daniel.

Each will provide insight based on their field of expertise. Former MP and Douglas College alum James Moore will also be a special guest.

“This is the most interesting election in recent history,” Tyakoff said. “There has never been two candidates as disliked as [Hillary] Clinton and Trump. Trump’s success speaks to changes in American society, culture and economics with the increas-

ing electoral importance of minorities, the uneven economic recovery, and the social and economic insecurity of the white working-class noncollege-educated population in the United States.”

The public lecture will be hosted by Douglas College’s Humanities and Social Sciences and Advancement and Alumni Relations. It will be held at the Coquitlam campus (1250 Pinetree Way) on Oct. 12 between 7 and 9 p.m. in lecture theatre A1470. Admission is by donation to the Douglas College

Foundation in support of student bursaries. For more information and to register

PUBLIC INPUT

Feedback sought on Coq. facility policy The city of Coquitlam is seeking the public’s feedback on a draft policy that will update how the municipality allocates its facilities to residents and user groups.

The document, which can be viewed at www.coquitlam. ca/allocationreview, will establish “fair and equitable opportunities for all and ensure that facilities are being utilized to their fullest capacity in a financially sustainable manner,” staff said in a press release.

With the new policy, the city hopes to outline how it will ac-

commodate new activities and user groups as well as sports tourism opportunities, festivals and events. The report will also look at the extent to which residency should be a criteria and how to consider Tri-City-based organizations.

Stakeholders, partner organizations and residents are being asked to send their feedback and comments to allocationreview@coquitlam. ca. The input will be presented to council in the next couple of months and a new policy will be put in effect in the spring.

Parks and recreation staff are also seeking feedback to help guide the development of its tennis and pickleball strategy.

With 90,000 new residents expected in the next 30 years, demand for facilities will continue to grow, according to the survey. Input is needed, the city said, to assess and determine service gaps and confirm current and future trends in public demand for the racket sports.

The survey can be found at www.coquitlam.ca/tps.

The Tri-City News looks at what’s happening with B.C. salmon & local streamkeeper groups that advocate for them

Researchers to study why salmon are dying From now through November, salmon will begin to return to the Coquitlam River and Tri-City creeks and streams. They are an important symbol of the season and critical to the environment.

In a seven-part series beginning today and running on Wednesdays through Nov. 16, Tri-City News reporters Diane Strandberg and Sarah Payne will take stock of the value of 30 years or more of hatchery operations and research efforts to protect B.C. salmon.

Today: The Pacific Salmon Foundation and the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Part 2: On Wednesday, Oct. 12, 40 years of educating children about salmon and the environment at Mossom Creek hatchery.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Questions about what’s killing Fraser River salmon have prompted a $10-million, fiveyear international study that could provide some key answers and change the way fish stocks, fish farms and hatcheries are managed.

Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) which supports hatcheries — including five in the TriCities — with small grants from money raised from salmon conservation stamps is in year two of the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project, which is looking at a number of factors that could be affecting survival rates of Pacific chinook and coho salmon and American steelhead.

The issue is important to TriCity residents, who see salmon making their way back to the Coquitlam River and Port Coquitlam and Port Moody creeks each fall as well as to the hundreds of volunteers who

Many problems for fish have been identified, from over-fishing and poor management in the 1980s and 1990s to warmer oceans, decreased food sources, predation by seals, impacts of open-net salmon farming, reduced habitat and even concerns that hatcheryraised fish are out-competing wild salmon for food.

“The decline is very real and it was very sudden, begin-

ning in the 1990s,” said Brian Riddell, president and CEO of PSF, an independent, nongovernment organization.

Forty years ago, when the federal government established the Salmonid Enhancement Program to raise hatchery fish to supplement a declining wild population, early returns of hatcheryraised fish suggested the program was a success.

There were plenty of fish in the mid-1980s, said Riddell, but today several species of

Fraser River salmon are in decline, and hatchery-raised salmon are also returning in fewer numbers even though they get a better start on life than wild salmon because they are fed regularly and protected from predators early in their lives.

“We’ve gone from a survival rate of 15%, in which 100 smolts released into the Strait of Georgia accounted for 15 adults returning, to maybe two or three hatchery-raised fish are returning for every 100

released.”

His concerns are mirrored

by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, which in its 2016 outlook predicted fewer salmon would return to southern B.C. waters, although a recent email stated the fish are just starting to come back, so it’s too soon to tell for chum, pink chinook and coho.

Then there were the record low returns of Fraser River sockeye, which slammed shut all recreational, commercial and native fisheries this past

summer. To get to the bottom of what’s causing fewer salmon to return to the Fraser River watershed, the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project is looking at a number of issues, employing 150 scientists and 40 organizations in 30 projects.

“For lots of years, people were wondering what happened and what can we do.

But it was such as an extreme decline, nobody expected it to last. But it has. Now we want to know what has caused such a change,” Riddell said.

In one project, scientists are studying the food juvenile salmon eat, such as zooplankton, and whether ocean survival can be predicted based on the the timing of spring blooms; in another, researchers are planting eelgrass for refuge and food for juvenile chinook. Researchers are looking at what eats salmon and steelhead, competition between hatchery and wild fish, harmful algae and aquaculture impacts.

Critical to the study will be the tracking of juvenile salmon that will be fitted with acoustic tags that will emit sounds to receivers installed in the ocean to find out where the fish go and what happens to them. see $10M TO STUDY, page 22

$10M to study the salmon situation continued from page 21

“We’ll look at the rate of movement of salmon going through channels as they go to migrate through Johnstone Strait and look at survival of fish to top of Johnstone Strait,” Riddell said.

He said the $10-million study — with a $2-million federal contribution as well as funds raised from a contribution from the Pacific Salmon Commission, which manages the treaty between Canada and the U.S., and local fundraising — will shed light on what is killing chinook and coho salmon, and steelhead with

the goal of improving management plans and, hopefully, result in stronger returns.

But while it will take years to amass the information from the study and make changes, Riddell encourages hatchery volunteers to continue with their efforts because people have to care about fish to do anything to improve their survival.

“The real value of local hatcheries is to maintain a network of small streams on the coast, I think they are also really important for educational values in maintaining better public awareness of the importance of salmon.”

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring?

Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech.

Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal.

Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions.

A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to

reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech.

Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours of hearing with only one charge.

The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel.

A growing body of research suggests that hearing aids may reduce listening effort, and in return mental fatigue when processing speech in noise. Digital Noise Reduction technology has been shown to

For the love of Coquitlam JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Last fall, an artists’ call went out from Place des Arts to find images that depicted Coquitlam in its 125th year.

The theme was general and the medium was non-specific.

But staff at the Coquitlam arts hub — many of them involved in organizing the city’s milestone celebrations this year — wanted to place an emphasis on community.

In June, executive director Joan McCauley, program and events co-ordinator Michael Fera and Oliver McTavishWisden, fine and performing arts programmer, sorted through 65 entries from 36 artists and whittled the submissions down to 28 pieces.

And what they uncovered from the candidates was a

They produced photographs, silk scarves, paintings and quilts. Someone also sent in a bowl to remind him of the woodturning techniques he had learned in Coquitlam.

Most of the scenes were of places: Minnekhada regional park, the Riverview Hospital lands and Lafarge Lake, for example. There were also plenty of wildlife, too, such as bears and salmon.

What the artists wanted to express was that “Coquitlam has a beautiful, natural environment,” McTavish-Wisden said, adding, “They really showed how Coquitlam made them feel with so much nature around them.”

On Friday, the art works will be unveiled in Capture Coquitlam, a sanctioned exhibit for Coquitlam 125.

While there are few portraits

in the show, there are a couple of interesting pieces that highlight the city’s evolution, McTavish-Wisden said.

One artist created photograph postcards of bungalows being demolished for monster homes; another imagined spirits looming around Riverview — a nod to its mental health past as the 244 acres now prepare for redevelopment.

Place des Arts’ faculty member Don Portelance — a retired art teacher from Centennial secondary — also has a painting up of the old Chimo Pool, which was replaced a few years back with the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex tank.

The opening reception for Capture Coquitlam is on Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.). Call 604-6641636 or visit placedesarts.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

sTage 43 sTrips iT

A Coquitlam theatre company will get down to the basics as its kicks off its Canada 150 season this month.

Stage 43 will start its L’oh’L Canada series with Bare Bear Bones, a comedy about two empty nesters wanting to spark their romance but end up in an alternative-lifestyle campground. Penned by Ontario playwright Michael Grant, the production stars TriCity residents Dan Jabour, Ryan Johnson, Sharon Notarrigo, Richard Pare, Sarien Slabbert and Carly J. Friesen. Ray Boulay and Alexandra Wilson are also in the show that is directed by Port Moody’s Dale Kelly.

Bare Bear Bones is a sanctioned event by the committee organizing the Coquitlam 125 celebrations this year. And like last season, Stage 43 will benefit a charity with a portion of its proceeds: Mossom Creek, a Port Moody hatchery that recently rebuilt after a fire destroyed the centre, is this year’s recipient.

Meanwhile, in January, the company will present two more Canadian plays: Looking by Norm Foster and, in April and May, Bingo by Daniel MacIvor.

Tickets for Bare Bear Bones are available through the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) by calling 604927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

It runs Oct. 13 to 15, Oct. 16 and Oct. 19 to 22.

Opening night includes a reception with refreshments from sponsors. Two-for-one tickets are available for the Oct. 19 and 20 presentations.

Two artists offer windows into the past and present with exhibits that open this week at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts.

Croatian native Nino Dobrosavljevic will show Time with Past, a collection of 38 oil on canvas pieces inspired by the works of such art masters as Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Picasso and Dali.

“I wanted a connection to the time back then but in a very conversational style,” the Surrey resident told The TriCity News last Friday.

A self-taught artist who immigrated to Canada 20 years ago, Dobrosavljevic has been fascinated with art history since he was a child; he read about famous pieces and their creators in books and often visited museums, art galleries and European churches, he said.

Still, Dobrosavljevic likes to twist his renditions by creating illusions — that is, tricking the eye with multiple angles of the subject.

Meanwhile, Victoria artist Peter Kohut also presents an unusual punch to his coffee shop subjects.

Kohut picked up on their quirks and “weird expressions” then translated his images into paintings for a series called Inside/Outward.

Also a self-taught artist, Kohut said he observed rather than voyeured. “There’s no judgement,” he said. “They’re in a public place and it’s not like it’s something secret that they’re doing.”

MUSIC

All in the family JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

It’s always been their intentions to cut an album together.

After all, most musical siblings say that.

But life, or their own solo careers, got in the way.

Two years ago, Jill Barber told her big brother Matthew the time was ripe: They needed to pen some tunes and get into the studio.

Inspired by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ collaborative album Raising Sand, the siblings set out to compose family-oriented songs — Jill from her home in Vancouver and Matthew from his Toronto abode. They also went back and forth while on holiday in California and, eventually, wound up with five new folk songs (two by Matthew and three by Jill) for their aptly titled The Family Album.

As well, they threw in six covers — “to take the pressure off,” Matthew said — for their

duet CD, a folk collection that blends their sweet voices.

They picked mostly Canadiana to fill out to their album: Gene MacClellan’s Song To a Young Seagull; Summer Wages by Ian Tyson; The Partisan, which was popularized in English by Leonard Cohen; Neil Young’s Comes A Time; If I Needed You by Townes Van Zandt; and Bobby Charles’ I Must Be In A Good Place Now. The Barbers produced the CD themselves but brought in Grammy Award-winner Michael Piersante to mix the work, which debuted in April.

To promote their new recording, the pair have been zig zagging the country and, this month, will stop in Coquitlam.

Of course, they’ll have their family in tow.

Their mother has been recruited to take care of Jill’s two children, the youngest being nine months old.

On the road with mom and the kids has taken on a dif-

ferent tour vibe. “It’s fun for mom,” Matthew laughed. “She likes the adventure of it.”

However, after this leg of the tour ends in late November, Matthew said he and Jill will go back to writing for their next solo albums.

“It was the understanding that this was to be a special project, a one-off,” he said of The Family Album.

Still, he is grateful for the opportunity to have spent more time with his little sister.

“Nothing flusters her,” he said of Jill. “She’s very professional and very calm. For me, I can feel the stress more but she has the attitude that everything will take care of itself. It’s something I really admire.”

Tickets for Matthew and Jill Barber’s concert on Oct. 23 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) are available by calling the box office at 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

T.F. Ravens sink talons into Mouat

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

Matthew Shuen of the Terry Fox Ravens moves the ball during a 57-0 win over Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat secondary last weekend at Percy Perry Stadium. The Port Coquitlam squad currently leads the Eastern Conference with a 2-0 record.

Any doubts that the Terry Fox Ravens were going to be a dominant team this season were put to rest on Saturday when the Port Coquitlam AAA high school football club demolished W.J. Mouat.

The visiting Abbotsford club was on their heels for the entire game, as the Ravens marched the ball down the field at will and put up 57 points in the process. Mouat failed to score during the four quarters and Fox added their second win of the young 2016 season.

The PoCo team now leads the Eastern Conference tied with Lord Tweedsmuir and Centennial for wins but leading significantly in points for and points differential.

Centennial also posted their second win of the season, getting past Mt. Boucherie of West Kelowna by a touchdown for a final score of 28-21 on the road.

Both Tri-City football clubs will get back at it next week, with the Cents playing St. Thomas More at Burnaby Lake and Fox hosting Mt. Boucheries at Percy Perry Stadium.

LACROSSE

Team Canada picks up Tri-City LAX talent Rees, McIntosh will join Team Canada in Denver

A pair of Tri-City lacrosse players will don the red and white for a series of exhibition games in Denver later this month.

Ben McIntosh of Coquitlam and Ryland Rees of Port Coquitlam will join 24 others from across the country on Team Canada for matches against the University of Denver and the United States Air Force Academy on Oct. 22 and 23. The exhibition matches will help the organization decide who makes the

team going to the 2018 World Lacrosse Championships, which will be held in Manchester, England.

It has been a busy year for McIntosh.

He won a National Lacrosse League Champions Cup with the Saskatchewan Rush in June before losing a bestof-seven Mann Cup series with the Western Lacrosse Association Maple Ridge Burrards later in the summer.

The 25-year-old runner, scored 20 goals and 23 assists in 11 playoff games in the WLA post-season, said he was thrilled to be joining Team Canada.

“There’s just such a great sense of pride that comes with

playing for your country,” said the 2015 NLL rookie of the year and 2016 sportsmanship award winner. “I look forward to getting out to Denver and getting the opportunity to play with such a talented group of guys.”

Meanwhile, Rees of the Port Coquitlam Saints is one of a handful of players that are leading Canada’s youth movement.

He has worn the maple leaf before, when he joined Team Canada during last summer’s FIL U19 Men’s World Championship, a team that lost a heartbreaking finale to Team USA in the gold medal game at Percy Perry Stadium last summer.

Head coach Randy Mearns said picking the roster was not an easy task.

“This training event in Denver will begin the journey towards the world championship in 2018,” he said in a press release. “But it’s just the first step in a complex two year process. We are excited to get started.”

Later he added: “We felt it was important to develop a roster with veteran leadership for guidance and experience, but to also have a primary function of working with and evaluating some of the next generation of Canadian lacrosse talent.” sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

The Coquitlam Express are eager to get back in front of fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex this weekend after a lengthy road trip.

The club will host the Langley Rivermen during their first home game of the season on Friday and are expected to play five of the next seven matches in front of friendly faces on home ice.

Coquitlam’s position in the standings has held up well despite the grueling schedule.

The team split its weekend games and earned a tie against the Victoria Grizzlies last Thursday, a squad that currently leads the BCHL. Sunday afternoon’s match against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs was a lowscoring affair for fans at the Weyerhaeuser Arena.

The home team struck first with a goal from Henry

The Express protected their one-goal lead for the rest of the game and went home with their third win of the season.

Things did not go quite as well 24-hours earlier when the team played the Nanaimo Clippers at the Frank Crane Arena Saturday night.

Nanaimo quickly put up two goals before Giunta cut the lead to one before the second intermission.

However, two more from the Clippers sealed the game and Coquitlam fell 4-1. sports@tricitynews.com
