EAGLE RIDGE HOSPITAL

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Foundation must first raise $5M to add to FHA cash

The chair of the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation said she’s confident in its ability to raise the large sum. Calling the goal “ambitious,” Alison Johansen said the community is behind the expansion and will come through with the necessary funds.

Eagle Ridge ER to expand DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

The long-awaited expansion of Eagle Ridge Hospital’s emer-

gency room was announced this week, earning the approval of health care professionals who have been clamouring for years for more ER services to meet the needs of the TriCities’ growing population.

But the community will have to chip in for the work.

At a press conference Wednesday, Fraser Health an-

nounced it will kick in $22.6 million towards the cost of a $27.6-million ER expansion at the Port Moody hospital that will double the number of beds, reduce wait times for patients and provide isolation rooms for those with infectious diseases.

But before shovels can hit the ground, the community must raise the other $5 million.

The Tri-CiTy News

The Port MoodyCoquitlam Green Party candidate in the provincial election is raising questions about the seriousness of his campaign after comments he

made on social media came to light.

Hours after the party announced Don Barthel would run, he told a friend on his public Facebook page that he is “just a ‘paper candidate.’”

EAGLE RIDGE HOSPITAL

Expansion may not be big enough as community grows: Mayor Clay continued from front page

“We are confident our community recognizes this expansion is necessary to meet the growing needs of our community.”

“I know from speaking to our front-line staff that the new expansion of the emergency department is welcome news,” said Michael Marchbank, Fraser Health president and CEO. He said the expansion will increase the number of beds to 39, from 19, and include two trauma resuscitation bays as well as four new isolation rooms to enhance infectioncontrol measures. There will also be separate entrances for walk-in patients and ambulance paramedics, and a pediatric area for families.

When complete — the target is the end of 2020 — the expanded ER is projected to be able to handle 68,000 patients per year, up from about 50,000 today.

PoMo Mayor Mike Clay welcomed the announcement of the expansion of the 33-year-old hospital as a step in the right direction toward providing the Tri-Cities with more service.

But he suggested the region may even outgrow this expansion, requiring more services in the future.

“They’re saying it’s almost doubling now,” he told The Tri-City News, referring to the number of beds. “Well, by those numbers, it needs to be three-and-a-half times bigger.

Anything is better than nothing… but hopefully this isn’t the last announcement for Eagle Ridge expansion for an-

Top right: Dr. Mike Mostrenko, head of the Eagle Ridge emergency department, said the planned $27.6-million ER expansion will significantly increase the capacity of the ER. Bottom right: Hallway medicine was a concern brought to light in February by the Health Sciences Association, which this week lauded the news of the expansion of the Eagle Ridge Hospital emergency room. other 20 years.”

Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP candidate Rick Glumac, on leave from his post as PoMo city councillor, raised similar concerns, noting that ER patients are often relocated to New Westminster’s Royal Columbia Hospital, where there are more services, and only 168 of 200 beds currently at Eagle Ridge are funded.

“We’re still getting the hallway medicine issue, this won’t fix that,” he said.

“We have room to handle [more services] but we don’t have the funding,” added

Glumac, who said ERH’s funding needs are on the NDP’s “radar.”

And while both Clay and Glumac are worried the $5-million contribution required of the hospital foundation will take dollars away from other hospital equipment needs, foundation staff say they have a plan in place to meet their funding commitment.

“It’s an exciting day,” said Charlene Giovannetti-King, hospital foundation executive director. “We know the community understands the need

and will be on our journey to reach the goal.”

The expansion project was also welcomed by Dr. Mike Mostrenko, head of the ERH ER, who told the assembled staff and politicians that it has taken six years of “begging, pleading and planning” to get to the approval stage for a project that will take some of the pressure off of the emergency department.

Indeed, the announcement comes just weeks after the Health Sciences Association raised concerns about hallway medicine being conducted at

ERH during busy times, with patient beds out in the hallway.

HSA president Val Avery said the expansion is good news for staff who are working in an ER where there is not enough room to deal with patients properly.

“This is the best news,” Avery said. “You’ve got a growing community. The resources you have don’t meet the needs.

There might be some pains getting there but it’s all good news.”

Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer said she, too, is pleased with the expan-

sion, and noted during her presentation on behalf of the provincial government that the “steps for this have been going on for some time.”

When asked by The Tri-City News why the funds weren’t announced months or years earlier instead of two weeks before the kickoff of the provincial election campaign, Reimer said that the business plan had to be created and approved first.

“It all takes time,” she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC – with files from Sarah Payne

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

BC Liberals sprinkling funding in the Tri-Cities Almost $140M in the past month for local projects SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

With little more than five weeks to go before the provincial election on May 9, the flurry

of funding announcements is seeing money pouring into communities throughout B.C. Nearly $140 million in taxpayer dollars has been earmarked for projects here in the Tri-Cities alone in the past month.

On Feb. 24, media were invited to join Linda Reimer, Liberal MLA for Port MoodyCoquitlam, on a tour of the

$28.7-million Moody middle school construction project.

About a week later came news that Victoria would kick in $5 million for 55 new affordable rental homes in partnership with PoMo’s St. Andrews United Church.

On March 26, Naomi Yamamoto, the minister of state for emergency preparedness, was in Coquitlam to announce

$5 million in one-time funding for the BC Search and Rescue Association (it’s not clear how much will trickle down to Coquitlam Search and Rescue).

And on Wednesday, the BC Liberals announced a $75-million contract for the replacement for Burnaby’s Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre for Youth and the Provincial Assessment Centre at Riverview

Hospital (see story, page 9).

That afternoon, government officials were at Eagle Ridge Hospital to showcase plans to more than double the number of emergency room beds, from 19 to 39, to the tune of $22.6 million — as long as the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation raises another $5 million (see story starting on front page).

And two hours later, another

PORT MOODY LIBRARY

Focus of program is educating yourself on media REUBEN DONGALEN JR. The Tri-CiTy News

Be careful of that link you’re about to click.

That’s the message from UBC lecturer and researcher Ron Darvin, who will be talking about misleading stories and how to know the difference between fact and fiction next week at Port Moody Public Library.

“I hope people will get to understand the different kinds of fake news — from hoaxes to conspiracy theories and propaganda material — and the motivations behind them,” Darvin told The Tri-City News in an email. “By recognizing fake news, we’re able to protect ourselves from being duped into believing them and sharing them on social media.”

The term “fake news” has become popular in the last year due in large part to the U.S. presidential election. On the one hand, thousands of false

RON DARVIN articles were shared on social media. On the other, President Donald Trump has taken to calling stories that don’t paint him in a favourable light by that name.

Darvin said his research shows that teens and adults are equally vulnerable to falling for fake news, despite teens being more tech savvy with online media.

“While fake news will not disappear any time soon, we can combat it by understanding how it works, and also educate our kids about it,” he said.

His presentation next Wednesday will focus on how to recognize false information and

instil strong digital literacy skills in adults and children.

“Fake news is everywhere and it its a boom[ing] business,” said Corene Maret Brown, Port Moody Public Library’s program and youth services coordinator. “Every click that a fake news story receives is money in the bank for the companies that are manufacturing it.

“The more knowledge you have about how the internet works and the how and why behind fake news, the more you can avoid these stories that are trying to influence you for profit,” Brown said.

Darvin shared some basic tips as to how online users can stay away from misleading articles online: • use Google Chrome extensions such as Web of Trust or BS Detector; • refer to fact-checking sites such as Snopes or Politifact; • and look for visual and textual clues on fake news websites, including the URL. Seats can be reserved for the April 5 program at 604-4694577; it will be held at the Inlet Theatre starting at 7 p.m.

SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Four years into the Intermunicipal Business Licence (IMBL) program, the number of Tri-Cities-wide licences is growing.

But potential changes to the revenue-sharing model could mean a dip in revenue for Port Moody.

The existing arrangement, in which revenues are divided among the three cities in a way that keeps the program revenue-neutral — PoMo receives 53% of revenue from licences sold, Coquitlam 29% and Port Coquitlam 18% — was set to expire at the end of 2013 but has been extended each year since then.

Now, the working group is recommending a cost-sharing formula more similar to other programs in the region, in which the selling municipality keeps 90% of the revenue collected for an intermunicipal licence and the remaining 10% is distributed equally among the others.

Such a model would likely see PoCo, which charges the least for its licences, winning the lion’s share of the revenue; in 2016, PoCo sold 143 IMBL while Coquitlam sold 92 and PoMo 61.

PoMo Mayor Mike Clay said he is concerned with the potential changes and suggested

POMO MAYOR MIKE CLAY staff from each of the cities try to find some uniformity on the licence charges.

Council agreed to defer a decision on the matter until the working group and staff could examine the licensing fees of each municipality.

COQUITLAM CURLING

Poss. human rights complaint against city from sr. curlers Bastien says the complaint focuses on older curlers GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A group of Coquitlam curlers say they have filed a complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal alleging they were discriminated against because of their age when the city decided to end curling at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Brian Bastien, one of several people who helped draft the complaint, told The Tri-City News that by displacing curlers, many of whom are seniors, to create more ice time for skaters and minor hockey players, who are predominantly children, the city violated their rights.

“The reason they are evicting us, in our view, is age,” he said. “We say that is contrary to the Human Rights Code.”

Bastien added that he has filed the complaint with the

tribunal this week and has sent copies of the documents to city staff and council members.

The complaint stems from council’s decision last fall to convert the curling ice at the Poirier complex into a regular ice rink while moving the curlers to the facility at the Port Moody rec complex.

Coquitlam has been working with Port Moody to amalgamate the two curling clubs. City staff said the Poirier curling ice was under-utilized and would be better used by sports such as figure skating and hockey, where practices can start as early as 5:30 a.m.

Bastien acknowledged that ending curling at Poirier will affect more than just seniors.

In the complaint, he states that there are 500 regular curlers at the facility, of which only 200 are between the ages of 60 and 85. There are also 600 high school students who participate in the school district’s curling program each year.

Bastien said the 200 seniors will be more adversely affected by the change because they are regular users of the facility.

“There are 600 students who use the curling rink for educational programming but they only use it three times a year,” he said. “That is very different than the 200 senior curlers who use it three to four times a week for the curling season.”

Kathleen Vincent, Coquitlam’s manager of corporate communications, said the city has not been able to confirm whether Bastien’s complaint has been officially filed.

The BC Human Rights Tribunal would not disclose whether it had received the documents, stating that confirmation is only given once a complaint is deemed viable and a hearing is scheduled.

Vincent said the city has been working with the displaced curlers to accommodate them as they move to amalgamate Coquitlam’s players with Port Moody’s club.

“I should note that, beyond this statement, we will not comment on matters that may be considered by the tribunal,” she said.

After the announcement, Giesbrecht said they had been working in partnership with BC Housing and the housing ministry to ensure “the needs of British Columbians were being taken care of” by moving the Maples facility to Riverview.

The inclusion of Kwikwetlem cultural elements has been a key factor in their support, he added.

Asked whether Kwikwetlem’s involvement in the project would have any bearing on the land title claim the band filed in B.C. Supreme Court in

February 2016 — which said development of the nation’s territory had been done without its consent — Giesbrecht said he could not comment because the matter is before the courts.

Andrea Aleck, chief officer of special projects with Kwikwetlem’s KFN Enterprises, said it is finalizing details with PCL but there will be First Nations artwork at the front entrance, as well as murals on the exterior of the gymnasium and exterior facades that are influenced by Coast Salish long houses. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Greens’ candidate says he’ll campaign continued from front page

“I’m not expected to actively campaign,” said Barthel, who is challenging incumbent BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer and NDP nominee Rick Glumac, a PoMo city councillor. “I’m really just there so that the BC Greens have someone on the ballot.”

When asked about the posts

by The Tri-City News, Barthel said the conversation was private and he did not want to talk about it. He added that he would be actively campaigning in the area and that he intends to participate in allcandidates meetings and will be going door-to-door to meet with voters.

Barthel said that while he does not live in the riding — he resides in the Langara neighbourhood of Vancouver — he is connected to the area through his love of hiking and his concern over the impacts the Kinder Morgan pipeline will have on the Burrard Inlet.

“I will be actively campaigning,” he said, later adding “I really want to focus on the issues that are dear to my heart.”

Four years ago, the Green Party ran Billie Helps in Port Moody-Coquitlam, a candi-

DON BARTHEL, BC GREENS date who was not in the country for most of the campaign.

She picked up 1,708 votes, or 8.19% of ballots cast.

The BC Greens also ran Edward Stanbrough in Coquitlam-Maillardville and he did not attend the riding’s lone all-candidates meeting, reportedly did not campaign and refused media interview requests. He picked up 1,687 votes, 8.58% of the ballots cast.

This issue is not unique to the Tri-Cities.

In the campaign leading up to the May 9 vote, the Greens have chosen Greg Powell to carry their banner in Richmond’s South Centre riding. But, as reported Tuesday in The Tri-City News’ sister paper the Richmond News, the candidate lives more than

COQUITLAM.CA/TRASHTALK

600 km away in the Kootenays, where he is a minister at the Castlegar United Church. He told the media that he intends to campaign via social media.

Jillian Oliver, the press secretary for the BC Greens, said the party expects its candidates to actively campaign.

“What Don [Barthel] said was not appropriate,” she said.

But Oliver noted the party does its best to run candidates in every riding to give voters across the province an alternative to the BC NDP and BC Liberals.

She added that the Greens are not the only party to run candidates who do not live in the riding where they are seeking office.

(Last week, the BC Liberals announced Maple Ridge resident Susan Chambers will face off against longtime NDP MLA Mike Farnworth in the Port Coquitlam riding.)

“All parties run candidates for strategic reasons that they know don’t have a great chance of winning,” she said.

“We make every effort to run candidates that are going to be out on the streets running real campaigns and we have tons and tons of those.”

I don’t think we can stick around.

GLUMAC TAKING LEAVE FROM POMO COUNCIL TO CAMPAIGN Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac has taken a leave of absence from his council duties to run in the upcoming provincial election.

Last November, Glumac won the nomination to represent the BC NDP in the Port

Moody-Coquitlam riding.

The seat has been held by Liberal MLA Linda Reimer, a former Coquitlam councillor, since the 2013 election, in which she ousted former PoMo Mayor Joe Trasolini, then the NDP incumbent.

Glumac said he’s taking an unpaid leave from council because of the time and commitment required to run in a provincial election.

He will miss three council meetings between April 3 and the election on May 9.

Provincial funding for the BC Search and Rescue Association will trickle down to Coquitlam SAR and probably buy a new boat.

SEARCH & RESCUE

Provincial $ goes to Coq. SAR group With hiking season just around the corner, Coquitlam Search and Rescue is planning to make good use of recently announced provincial funding.

Last Sunday, Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for emergency preparedness, announced $5 million in one-time funding for the BC Search and Rescue Association.

Michael Coyle, Coquitlam SAR’s spokesperson, said any funds that come this way would likely go towards replacing a boat that aids in rescues in Indian Arm and Pitt Lake.

The $5 million is substantial and follows the commitment in January 2016 of $10 million towards BC Search and Rescue, of which approximately $200,000 spread over 2016 and 2017 helped fund a

new mobile command unit and other rescue equipment.

“It’s kind of groundbreaking.

Suddenly we have this year and we know we have next year, so let’s plan ahead,” he said.

What the groups would like to see is annual funding so the teams will have certainty instead of the kind of “boomand-bust” funding that has been typical.

“That’s the whole goal, ultimately,” he said. “They’d like the alternative support model adopted and the teams will have this kind of certainty.”

Next Saturday, Coquitlam Search and Rescue will be on standby for the annual Diez Vista 50-km and 100-km trail run, taking place at White Pine Beach.

The application proposes a land use redesignation of the subject properties from a combination of Large Village Single Family, Large Single Family and Estate Single Family to a combination of Small Village Single Family, Large Village Single Family, Large Single Family, and Environmentally Sensitive Area. If approved, these proposed land use designation boundary changes would facilitate a proposed phased singlefamily development, the protection of environmentally sensitive areas, including the daylighting of West Smiling Creek, and the development of a road frontage from the southern boundary of Harper Park.

You are now being invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

How old to toke?

One of the goals of the federal government’s plans to legalize marijuana is to keep minors safe by controlling distribution.

The idea is to get gangs and drug dealers out of the picture so teens will wait until they can legally purchase cannabis and, by making the age of purchase 18, hoping they’ll delay using because it’s not worth breaking the law.

Anyone who knows teens and their propensity to take risks will be skeptical of this approach but with the timely intervention of parents, law enforcement agencies, schools, counsellors and youth groups, it could work in some cases.

What’s important for people to know is that even while cannabis is being made legal, it is not considered safe for youths to use, and there remain concerns about early and frequent use for short-term cognitive impairment and under-performing in school as well as psychotic symptoms and disorders.

Still, if cannabis is to be made legal, it makes the most sense to make the legal age of purchase the same as for alcohol and in B.C.: 19. So kids here in Lotusland will just have to wait an extra year to get their pot — whether they will is the question.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

WHEN MARIJUANA IS LEGALIZED, DO YOU THINK THE LEGAL AGE TO BUY IT SHOULD BE SET AT 19?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:

WOULD YOU SUPPORT A LAW TO ALLOW COURTS TO PLACE YOUTH AT RISK OF HARM IN SAFE CARE FOR UP TO 30 DAYS?

LAST WEEK: YES 81% / NO 19%

MODERN LIFE

It’s not us vs. them – it’s us vs. the empathy gap T he first time I stepped into the halls of my school, Pinetree secondary, I was overwhelmed by the same nervous, jittery feelings that many students experience. High school was a shiny new environment with possible embarrassment everywhere I turned: obstinate lockers, hilarious inside jokes and girls donning sharp-winged eyeliner conversing wildly in groups.

More than any other time in our MARYAM GAMAR lives, high school is a definitive journey in which young people strive to define themselves. Around every corner is a chance for internal confrontation because, at times, to build our own identity, we differentiate ourselves from others.

Forming “us” and “them” factions is a part of human nature that social psychologist Henry Tajfel called “social identity theory.” This theory explains how defining our identity is necessary and beneficial in some ways — it builds confidence, self-esteem and purpose — but it can also be potentially harmful.

Recently, I witnessed a harmful event. I was switching textbooks at my locker just before the block ended and the halls were empty.

A group of boys crowded around a bench behind me, joking and pounding each other on the back, their noise standing out in the quiet hall. My attention shifted to them completely when another guy joined them. The mood immediately changed. Rather than jovial and carefree, I felt the air become charged with confrontation.

“Hey bro, do you have makeup on?” hollered a student in a grey sweatshirt, voice cracking into laughter. “I heard all gays like wearing makeup, you wanna show us?” added another. “I think he has mascara on his eyebrows!” The others all chuckled while one of them added, “You put that on your eyelashes, idiot.”

Hearing the taunts, I immediately tensed, my eyes boring into the cold, blue metal of my open locker, which seemed to sway under the weight of my stare. Despite the clarity with which my physical reaction told me this was an attack, my mind quickly tried to reason that they must be joking. After all, I was standing in the hallways of a school where the Gay-Straight Alliance was one of the most popular clubs — a place where people discuss their dating lives without reserve, regardless of their sexuality. Standing there, I could not understand the reason for this hurtful confrontation. The malicious teasing and guffaws persisted, each member of the pack feeding the next assault. Eventually, without a word, the outlier wandered away.

As my shock subsided, it turned to anger. The attackers laughed but I felt the offence was serious. The victim walked away un-

touched but not unharmed. As I stood, still reeling with anger and confusion, I realized that despite the fact we all share the same genome and the same planet, the us-versus-them boundaries persist.

As a Muslim girl who proudly wears hijab, I am just as visibly different as a boy who wears makeup. I couldn’t help but wonder if I had stepped in, would I have become a target?

It’s scary to think of being marginalized for the things that make us different, just as it is scary to conform in order to be safe from discrimination. Why should anyone have to face the decision to either be safe or be true to oneself? In a time when increasing demagoguery attempts to reinforce the us-versus-them through fear and hatred, it is crucial society unifies to counter these negative and manipulative appeals. Rather, we ought to celebrate our very myriad differences.

In the hallways of my school that day, the “us” attacked the “them” but it need not be that way. Tajfel’s theory suggests that although distinct groups will always exist, one way to improve relations is by showing kindness, which can close the “empathy gap” and help limit the negative relations among all people.

The world is made up of billions of unique individuals, daily bumping up against one another, so inevitably, we will have conflict. But if we establish collective safety, we may find that some of our societal problems fix themselves.

Maryam Gamar is a Coquitlam resident and student at Pinetree secondary.

COQUITLAM CURLING

Hundreds impacted by curling moving The Editor, Curling’s more than 60-year history in Coquitlam may come to an end by today (Friday).

Plans are to repurpose the curling rink at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex for hockey, figure skating and other uses. Port Moody’s curling rink has agreed to accommodate as many of our leagues and activities as it is able.

From my observations, the five Coquitlam curling groups most affected will be the youth and adult learn-to-curl programs, the more than 600 students in the school system’s educational program, the Optimist Club junior curlers, more than 30 Special Olympics participants, more than 200 senior curlers and the several hundred adult evening curlers.

Successfully sustaining curling in the Tri-Cities is dependent on the success of the learnto-curl program and youth programs.

The challenge of relocating the student education program

INGRID RICE

FILE PHOTO

Moving curlers to Port Moody will likely reduce the number of people who curl, says the letter writer. to PoMo may be the logistics of transporting students from the schools near the Poirier complex. And the success of the junior curling program is dependent on that of the school program. The Special Olympics participation will be re-assessed if a move is necessary. Many of our senior curlers, aged from 55 to 89 years, may simply quit curling rather than move to an-

other curling club.

Why must the curlers be the only victims of this seemingly unnecessary change. Further, we fail to understand the urgency to kick us out with such short notice.

Why this major change in priorities just eight years after this multi-million dollar facility was built?

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

SKULDUGGERY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE

The Editor, I enjoyed a short banter by having a BC Liberal representative knock at my door. He had the audacity to ask for my vote.

He already is party to taking my money via BC Hydro and ICBC plus downloading numerous hidden taxes.

The knocker said B.C. has

the lowest taxes. Surely that is a joke.

The BC Liberals, in order to get reelected, are already awash in oceans of money from rich corporations and developers. They are financially morbidly obese.

So now the average John and Judy, with a few weeks

to the election, jump at the offering of MSP being cut not understanding B.C. is the only province that charges this hidden tax?

Every time we see another disingenuous BC Liberal ad on TV, it is plain and simple skulduggery.

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION

Resale or Presale? The Pros and Cons

W

hen you’re looking for a home to buy, one of the biggest decisions is whether to buy a resale home through the MLS® or whether to go to a developer’s sales centre and buy a brand new unit off plan. Both decisions have their advantages and disadvantages, and knowing what those are will help you make the right choice for you.

■ As the resale home is already built,

Resale home

Pros ■ Resale homes purchased through the MLS® tend to be cheaper per square foot than a new home – and there’s no GST to pay.

■ Resale homes are already built, so you can go and view the exact home you will be living in – no nasty surprises about space, feel, views and so on.

there’s no waiting years to move into your new place.

■ What you see is what you get – and a home inspector can inspect the unit thoroughly, in person, before you remove subjects.

Cons ■ A resale home has been lived in before – the unit’s fi xtures and fittings will unlikely be brand new (unless it has just been renovated) and may wear out sooner.

■ The building also won’t be brand new, and the older the building, the more wear and tear it will have, which means maintenance costs.

■ You’ll have to pay Property Transfer Tax on the purchase – unless you are exempt (first-time buyer and purchase price is under $500,000).

Presale home

Pros ■ You’ll get a brand new, never-beforelived-in unit that is (or should be) in top-notch condition and will be under a New Home Warranty.

■ New home developments usually have great amenities and will be in established or up-and-coming neighbourhoods.

■ You could have the chance to customize your unit to your own tastes, or at least choose from colour and design options offered by the developer.

■ If the home is under $750,000, you’ll be exempt from Property Transfer Tax. Cons ■ New homes are desirable, which means they tend to cost more than resale homes per square foot – plus you have to pay GST. ■ Your chosen home won’t be built yet, so

there could be a long wait to move in – and even if the value drops in that time, you’ll still pay the contracted price (which is also true if values increase). Plus, a lot can change during that time and you need to be sure you can get a mortgage and a down payment for completion date.

■ You might get a pretty good idea of the home you’ll be getting, but show suites and floorplans can sometimes seem quite different than your finished unit – especially in terms of intangibles like views and “feel”.

■ There’s a lot of paperwork and other riskmitigation factors to consider – you have to be sure you’re getting what you pay for.

Whether you choose a resale or presale home, make sure you work with an A-team of real estate professionals – REALTOR®, lawyer and mortgage broker – to ensure you get exactly what you want and can afford.

Pros ■ Resale homes purchased through the MLS® tend to be cheaper per square foot at 19106 McMyn Rd., than a new – and there’s no GST Pitthome Meadows to pay.

■ Resale homes are already built, so you WEEKENDS can go and12:00 view the exact home you will - 5:00, be living in – no nasty surprises about WEEKDAYS 5:00so on. space, feel, 1:00 views-and

your new place.

■ What you see is what you get – and a home inspector can inspect the unit thoroughly, in person, before you remove subjects.

Cons ■ A resale home has been lived in before – the unit’s fi xtures and fittings will unlikely be brand new (unless it has just been renovated) and may wear out sooner.

■ The building also won’t be brand new, and the older the building, the more wear and tear it will have, which means maintenance costs.

■ You’ll have to pay Property Transfer Tax on the purchase – unless you are exempt (first-time buyer and purchase price is under $500,000).

PITT MEADOWS

Presale home

Pros ■ You’ll get a brand new, never-beforelived-in unit that is (or should be) in top-notch condition and will be under a New Home Warranty.

■ New home developments usually have great amenities and will be in established or up-and-coming neighbourhoods.

■ You could have the chance to customize your unit to your own tastes, or at least choose from colour and design options offered by the developer.

■ If the home is under $750,000, you’ll be exempt from Property Transfer Tax. Cons ■ New homes are desirable, which means they tend to cost more than resale homes per square foot – plus you have to pay GST. ■ Your chosen home won’t be built yet, so

there could be a long wait to move in – and even if the value drops in that time, you’ll still pay the contracted price (which is also true if values increase). Plus, a lot can change during that time and you need to be sure you can get a mortgage and a down payment for completion date.

■ You might get a pretty good idea of the home you’ll be getting, but show suites and floorplans can sometimes seem quite different than your finished unit – especially in terms of intangibles like views and “feel”.

■ There’s a lot of paperwork and other riskmitigation factors to consider – you have to be sure you’re getting what you pay for.

Whether you choose a resale or presale home, make sure you work with an A-team of real estate professionals – REALTOR®, lawyer and mortgage broker – to ensure you get exactly what you want and can afford.

Coquitlam’s David Unickow (Honda Civic) will be starting his quest for the 2017 Sports Car Club of B.C. championship this weekend (April 1-2) at the Mission Raceway Park road course. Unickow finished 2016 in fourth place and is looking to move up the standings in 2017.

MINOR HOCKEY

PoMo picks up provincial prizes Two club win banners in busy week for PMAHA

Port Moody hockey coach Justin Styffe is leaving the PMAHA Bantam A1 team on a high note.

After five years on the bench, Styffe helped lead the club to a provincial championship banner, after defeating the Burnaby Winter Club 6-3 in the finals.

It was the coach’s third trip to the provincials and the team was dominant throughout the tournament.

The club started things off with a 2-2 tie against Fort St. John, before taking down Campbell River 3-1. They followed up with a 5-2 win over Penticton and a 4-1 victory against Powell River, which set the stage for the finals against Burnaby.

However, the bantam team was not the only club to grab a provincial banner last week.

The Midget A1 team defeated the Vernon Vipers 5-3 in the finals during their provincial championship in Port Coquitlam.

Port Moody managed to hang on to a 4-3 lead, but added an insurance marker

with an empty-net goal late in the game to win the B.C. title.

On their way to the finals, they defeated Williams Lake 5-4, Peninsula 5-2, PoCo 5-2, Vancouver 6-3 and Castlegar 3-0. The club fell to Vernon 5-2 earlier in the tournament, a loss they avenged in the finals.

Port Coquitlam struggled in the tournament, going 1-5 on the week.

The team defeated Vancouver 5-2 on Monday but could not post another win for the duration of the provincials.

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Express forward Erik Udahl is heading back to the United States to continue his hockey career.

The 21-year-old skater has committed to play with the Salve Regina University Seahawks in the Div. 3 Commonwealth Coast Conference League in Newport, Rhode Island.

“We are very happy for Erik and his decision to play for Salve Regina and attend a great academic school,” said Express head coach Barry Wolff. “He faced a lot of adversity in the last 16 months in his career, with a season ending injury, and has found a way to put it all behind him and move forward.”

Udahl, who is originally from Walpole, Mass., had been with the Express for the last two seasons. However, because of injuries he was only able to take the ice in 44 outings, where he scored 10 goals and 10 assists. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews
