BACK TO SCHOOL 2016

Changes aplenty in local schools Curriculum from kindergarten to Grade 9 will have different focuses

REPORT CArD ChANGes

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

New school supplies? Check.

New shoes, clothes and backpack? Check.

New curriculum? Check.

Parents whose children are heading back to school next Tuesday will be pioneers of a revised curriculum that B.C.’s Ministry of Education hopes will help young people adapt to changes in society, jobs and technology.

Students in kindergarten to Grade 9 are getting the new curriculum this year while changes are only being piloted in some Grade 10 to 12 classes, with full implementation of the high school curriculum next year.

The revisions, the first in more than a decade, will focus more on problem solving and communicating learning than memorization of rote facts and was a necessary change says Ken Christensen, first vicepresident of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association.

“I personally like the shift away from rigid curricular goals and outcomes. It’s about thinking about thinking,” Christensen told The Tri-City News this week. “The knowledge base becomes obsolete quickly. Rather than filling kids full of knowledge — when they had to learn all these particular facts — you need to train people to have more insight, especially on global issues.”

But Christensen cautions against having expectations that the new curriculum will be implemented quickly because resources, training and new

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Eagle Mountain middle school students work on a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) project. The school has been using the province’s revised kindergarten-to-Grade 9 curriculum for two years and last year won an Innovative Partnership grant for its work.

This year, all students in B.C. up to Grade 9 will be using the new curriculum, which stresses critical thinking, communication and social skills in addition to traditional subjects. teaching strategies will take time to get in place.

For example, the new curriculum stresses inquiry based learning where students identify a problem or ask a question and then work on solving it. A teacher will need to be able to support 30 students going in 30 different directions with equipment and materials while also helping them identify sources of information.

“They can certainly do it,” Christensen said, “but it’s

resource-dependent.”

He’s also concerned that the province hasn’t put enough into teacher training, although two days of professional development on the new curriculum have already taken place, and another is slated for Nov. 14.

For example, the new curriculum is supposed to include training in coding — the language used to make computers work — but it’s not known how the province’s plan to spend

$6 million on training, coding curriculum and equipment will trickle down to districts.

Christensen also said he doesn’t know exactly how teachers will implement coding in the curriculum. “I think that was a bit of electioneering early on. There’s a lot more to this curriculum that this coding [announcement] doesn’t answer.”

Still, he is optimistic that with time and resources, the new curriculum will be suc-

cessfully implemented into the classroom, noting some schools and teachers will likely be faster at it than others.

“We can do it, we would just like more support for doing it,” Christensen said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BACK TO SCHOOL

• In Friday’s Tri-City News: An elementary school teacher talks about her first day back to school and the new curriculum.

Changes are coming in report cards, too.

The province’s new student reporting policy came into force July 1 and requires districts to provide regular reports on how students are progressing on required learning outcomes and consult with the public, and must also provide the education ministry with a copy of their reporting policy.

But don’t expect big changes to SD43 report cards anytime soon.

Assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi said only one school, Eagle Mountain middle, and some Montessori classes, are experimenting with report cards that don’t have letter grades. All kindergarten to Grade 9 report cards will contain a new section that describes how students are doing in core competencies of thinking, communication and personal and social skills.

But the district has until the end of the school year to add this to report cards.

As well, Ciolfi said the district will be asking parents how they want their child’s learning to be communicated to them.

“What we’re really trying to achieve is to make it [student reporting] meaningful and aligned with the new curriculum,” Ciolfi said. @dstrandbergTC

TRI-CITY HERITAGE

New lease on life proposed for Anmore hall House was home of the legendary ‘Ma’ Murray

CELEBRATE MA MURRAY DAY

A community event is being held Sunday, Sept. 11 to celebrate Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray, who pioneered with her family in Anmore before establishing prominent newspapers in other parts of B.C. The fun family day will be free and will include a car show, a market fair, community tables, heritage displays and activities for children. It will run from noon to 4 p.m. in Spirit Park, behind the village hall, 2697 Sunnyside Rd., Anmore.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A cozy cedar-clad building that was once the home of B.C. pioneer Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray could be saved after a group of Anmore residents proposed a plan for the 100-year-old structure.

A group calling itself the Anmore Heritage Society would like to see the building restored, with a museum on the top floor and a coffee shop and a gallery below, and will be asking village residents for their support at the upcoming Ma Murray Day on Sunday,

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Plans are in the works to save a portion of Anmore Village hall, formerly the homestead of newspaper woman and B.C. pioneer Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray. The homestead was built 100 years ago.

Sept. 11.

“We’re marking 100 years

and we’re trying to drum up support for saving the vil-

lage hall,” explained Joerge Dyrkton, a member of the society.

The two-storey building that was used for administration offices for the village of Anmore was decommissioned in 2012 and council would like to see the part that’s worth saving moved off site soon, according to Mayor John McEwen.

A sum of $5,000, money that

would have been used for demolition, will be used to help pay for the move, McEwen said.

“We were going to pay $10,000 to tear it down, we will allocate $5,000 [to the move],” he told The Tri-City News.

But where the building will be stored and where it will be located permanently are still open questions.

McEwen said the best location for storage is the village works yard near the Buntzen Lake recreation area, about a kilometre from its current location.

But Dyrkton said his group would like to see the building moved to a spot closer to the current location where it could be restored and open in a year.

That option doesn’t seem to be on the table, Dyrkton admitted, noting that many of the project’s details still need to be worked out, including getting quotes for moving the building.

But despite the unknowns, Dyrkton said the group is pleased that council supports the idea of saving the heritage building.

SHOTS REPORTED, COPS FIND RIFLE Coquitlam RCMP are investigating reports of shots fired late Sunday night in the Dewdney Trunk Road area.

Police were called just

before 9 p.m. but did not find a victim. “There was no one around in distress so we’re making inquiries to try and find out who heard it,” said

Const. Jen Goodings. Officers found a rifle in the alley nearby and are investigating who the owner might be and whether it was recently fired.

Coquitlam RCMP and Port Moody Police are still on the lookout for people with booze at local beaches.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Police still patrol Tri-City’s beaches SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

Heading to a local beach in the dwindling days of summer holidays? Be sure not to bring any booze, police are warning.

Coquitlam RCMP and Port Moody Police have been patrolling Buntzen Lake and White Pine Beach since June, and although there haven’t been any significant issues, officers have poured out plenty of alcohol.

“Open liquor and consumption is still a concern, with over 50 violation tickets issued since

June 1,” said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson.

PMPD’s Sgt. Travis Carroll said officers have patrolled beaches nearly 30 times since the early days of summer, with liquor pour-outs, drug possession and minors consuming alcohol all making the list of incidents so far.

“It’s been mostly families we’re seeing out there but a little bit later into August, there’s an increase in the younger population,” Carroll told The Tri-City News.

“Have a good time but don’t bring any liquor into the park,”

he added. “We have to make sure people are safe so sometimes when you mix liquor, sun and a bit of overindulgence, there’s safety issues that come up, and that’s when we have problems up there.”

Also concerning is the increase in theft from automobiles in parking lots, Carroll said, cautioning beach-goers to not leave anything in their vehicles.

Phillipson said it’s also important to heed fire bans and to keep grilling in the park to gas barbecues, not fire pits. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

TRI-CITY CRIME

No arrests in other 2012 PoMo slayings continued from front page

According to a Province report, Crown counsel Gordon Matei said Paine helped a friend who was a member of the UN gang find Naicker. And on the day of the killing, Matei said, Paine drove the friend to Port Moody.

Naicker’s murder was one of a trio in Port Moody that happened within four months that year, and they all came a decade after PoMo’s last murder in 2002.

On May 30, 2012, Gurbinder (Bin) Singh Toor, a Surrey man with ties to the Dhak/Duhre gang, was shot in the parking lot of the PoMo recreation centre as he was heading to a ball hockey game. Nobody has been charged in that crime.

And in September 2012, 32-year-old Joseph Markel was gunned down in his Glenayre home in what was believed to be another targeted gang shooting.

No arrests have been made in the latter two murders.

Considered one of the founders of the Independent

Soldiers gang, Naicker was well known to police. He was convicted of kidnapping a Surrey gangster in 2005 after two associates were murdered and nearly half a million dollars worth of marijuana went missing.

While on bail for the kidnapping charge in 2006, Naicker was arrested with five others, including gang associates Jamie Bacon and former PoMo resident Dennis Karbovanec, in Abbotsford.

Karbovanec is now serving a life sentence for killing three of six people in the Surrey Six murders in 2007; Bacon’s trial

in the same case is due to start in October.

At his parole hearing in 2009, Naicker said he wasn’t concerned about rival gangs targeting him even though another resident of his halfway house was gunned down a few months earlier. Police said at the time they believed the intended target in that shooting was Naicker.

Friends of Naicker’s said at the time of his death that he had been trying to extricate himself from the gang lifestyle and start a new life.

3,000 backing local MP’s fish ePetition Also: Drug OD act is with a federal health committee JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

More than 3,000 names are now on a federal ePetition to back a private member’s bill from Port Moody-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly that calls for the protection of west coast wild salmon.

In October, the NDP MP is expected to introduce the bill; if passed, it would ban open netcage fish farms off B.C.’s coast.

Donnelly, the party’s critic for fisheries, oceans and Canadian Coast Guard, has more than 2,700 names from B.C. attached to his ePetition. And, soon, a celebrity will come forward with an endorsement, he said.

Already, Bill C-228, An Act to amend the Fisheries Act (closed containment aquaculture), has the support of a number of academics, environmentalists, First Nations and high-profile business people such as Yvon Chouinard, founder and CEO of the clothing and outdoor gear company Patagonia.

Donnelly is also rallying his Metro Vancouver colleagues — including Liberal MPs Ron McKinnon (Port Coquitlam-Coquitlam) and Pamela Goldsmith-Jones (West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country) — to get on board.

“There’s a ton of people who are getting behind this, thinking it’s a win-win for wild salmon and for the fish-farming industry,” he said, adding, “If the fishfarming industry wants to move forward, closed containment offers them that solution.”

Donnelly said he’s watching the government in Norway, which this year announced it would transition to closed containment at a cost of $450 million.

Donnelly said his bill only focuses on the west coast as there is more political willingness and, if successful, it could expand to the Atlantic region.

CAR INSURANCE

ICBC: 4.9% rate hike due to crash costs JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

ICBC wants to increase basic auto insurance rates by 4.9% — the fifth straight annual increase — as it continues to grapple with rising numbers of crashes, claims and dramatically increasing costs.

The typical driver will pay $3.50 a month or $42 a year more for basic insurance if the hike is approved.

But the corporation is also raising optional rates by 2.8% so the average customer who buys both basic and optional insurance with ICBC will see their insurance bill rise $5 a month, or $60 a year.

ICBC CEO Mark Blucher said last week that the basic rate hike would have been much worse — 15.5% translating into a $130 annual premium increase — had the province not approved another major transfer of $472 million from the optional to the basic side of operations.

A compounding factor has been the long decline of interest rates, which result in less investment income revenue to ICBC. “These external pressures have really created a perfect storm and it’s a really significant challenge for the organization,” Blucher said in an interview last Thursday.

ICBC had raised rates 5.5% a

The number of crashes has climbed 15% in two years and damage claims are up 11%.

Vehicles are increasingly reliant on technology and expensive materials that have become more costly in recent years as the loonie sagged against the U.S. dollar.

Despite much safer vehicles, injury claims have soared to $2.4 billion, up 60% from $1.5 billion in 2008.

“We’ve seen no evidence that these strong trends are abating,” Blucher said. “In fact, if anything, they’re continuing to escalate going forward.”

Blucher also noted there are more cars on the road in B.C. today — 3.1 million up from 2.8 million in 2011 — and people are driving more because of cheaper gas, contributing to

side will likely be needed for the foreseeable future, Blucher said, because basic premiums can’t keep up with rising costs.

In a surprise move, the B.C. government will this year forgo extracting its usual $160-million annual dividend from ICBC’s optional side into general revenue.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the $514 million the province has transferred out of ICBC in dividends since 2012 is small compared to the $1.4 billion over the same period that has been shifted from the competitive optional side to basic to apply downward pressure on basic rates.

The minister would not say if the government would permanently give up the ICBC dividend.

more accidents, particularly in densifying urban areas.

And he pointed to personal injury lawyers as an aggravating cause of ICBC’s spiralling claims costs.

“B.C. is the only province in Canada where you can sue another motorist for even a minor traffic accident,” Blucher said, noting an increase in lawyerrepresented claims and advertising by injury law firms.

Internal operating costs have been cut by $186 million a year, and ICBC is counting on more savings ahead, through its modernization program, by more aggressively combatting insurance fraud and from a hoped-for drop in distracted driving as motorists respond to stiffer penalties.

for ICBC, said the dividends to government have exceeded $1.2 billion since 2010 and predicted they’ll resume after next year’s election because the BC Liberals are “addicted” to using ICBC as a “profit centre.”

Dix said the reliance on shifting huge amounts of capital from optional to basic raises troubling questions.

“Next year they’ve got to find that $472 million,” Dix said.

“What they’ve done is create a disaster at ICBC and their only hope is to deceive the voters until after the election.”

ICBC’s basic rates rose 11.2% in 2012 and at least 5% every year since.

The new rate hike is subject to B.C. Utilities Commission approval. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

Alan Fox (middle), a volunteer with the Port Moody Station Museum, with Veterans Affairs Minister Ken Hehr (right) and Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MP Dan Ruimy.

War navy veteran, has volunteered hundreds of hours as a guest speaker with Historica Canada’s Memory Project. The 92-year-old man speaks eight times a year to cadets, Rotary clubs and schools around the Lower Mainland.

“Mr. Hansen has volunteered significant amounts of his time to providing a first-hand account of the war and passing on stories of the sacrifices, horror and, eventually, peace that he experienced

during his service,” a ministry statement reads.

And Maple Ridge’s Fox, a military historian of the Commonwealth, is also an educator. He has showcased his antique military vehicle at Remembrance Day parades and often speaks in public about a soldier’s life. In 2014, Fox led the effort to build the full-size trench at the Port Moody Station Museum.

Three Port Moody residents and a volunteer with the Port Moody Station Museum received national recognition for their efforts from the federal government this week.

On Monday, Port Moody’s Cameron Black, Sean Black and Svend Hansen as well as Alan Fox of Maple Ridge were honoured in Richmond with commendations from Veterans Affairs Canada for their contributions to veterans.

A former member of 2573 6 Engineer Squad of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps (RCACC), Sean Black has helped at a number of community events at the library and museum as well as at the George Derby Veterans Care Centre. For the last seven years, he has also been part of the annual military history encampment at Fort Rodd Hill.

Cameron Black, a member of the 2827 B.C. Regiment of the RCACC, has also served at local commemorative events and special veterans’ activities.

Like Sean Black, he was part of the Canada Day 2015 gathering at the Port Moody Station Museum.

City of Coquitlam

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. This meeting will be held on: Date: Time: Location:

Monday, September 12, 2016 7:00 p.m.

City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2

Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.

Item 1

Addresses: 3539, 3543 and 3547 Victoria Drive

The intent of Bylaw 4696, 2016 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4696, 2016 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential and RS-1 One-Family Residential to RT-2 Townhouse Residential and P-5 Special Park.

If approved, the RT-2 zone would facilitate the development of a townhouse development comprising 31 units, and the P-5 zone would facilitate a trail corridor on the adjacent BC Hydro right-of-way.

Item

2 Addresses: 3553, 3557, 3563, 3567, 3575 Victoria Drive and 3570 Baycrest Avenue

The intent of Bylaw 4677, 2016 is to amend City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 (CWOCP) to revise the land use designation of the subject lands outlined in black on the map marked Schedule “A” to Bylaw 4677, 2016.

The proposed change, if approved, would amend a portion of the lands designated Baycrest Low Density Residential to Townhousing Residential and further amend a second portion of the lands from Townhousing Residential to Baycrest Low Density Residential. The CWOCP Bylaw adjustments would shift the land use designation boundaries to accommodate a site layout that would address the subject site’s steep topography.

The intent of Bylaw 4678, 2016 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties located at 3567 and 3575 Victoria Drive and 3570 Baycrest Avenue outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4678, 2016 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential to RS-8 Large Village Single Family Residential and RT-2 Townhouse Residential.

If approved, the application would facilitate the first of a two phase development.

The first phase would facilitate the development of nine (9) RS-8 singlefamily lots and one (1) RT-2 townhouse development comprising approximately thirty-six (36) units. The second phase would include the potential for a future development consisting of approximately seven (7) RS-8 single-family lots and one (1) RT-2 townhouse development consisting of approximately twenty-six (26) units. The second phase of this development will require a future Public Hearing and is not being considered at this time.

OUR OPINION

Shelter needed, helping T

he Tri-Cities are blessed with a high quality of living despite high rents and high housing prices as well as rising costs for food, utilities and car ownership.

But sometimes these bills are too much, especially for individuals in crisis who are dealing with illness, mental health concerns or drug addiction — or all three. When a perfect storm of conditions arise, homelessness can result.

This is something we are seeing in this region, where 61 newly homeless people have used the shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam in recent months.

These are people who — for a variety of reasons, often family breakdown — find themselves without resources and find food, shelter, help with medications, clothing and support services at the shelter, which opened in December.

But there are times

homelessness, and with its community cleanups and partnership with the RCMP, is making the area safer.

Homelessness is a complex social problem that is not easy to solve in the short term and with it comes social disorder that may effect people living and working in the community. These issues

when people who are homeless don’t fit the patterns of social discourse that we are accustomed to, and for that reason 3030 Gordon has become a magnet for community complaints.

We argue, however, that the homeless shelter is not the source of problems but is in fact a timely service that is working to end

include loitering, littering, open drug or alcohol consumption, soliciting, trespassing and disturbing the peace.

But these issues will take place regardless and, if homelessness is allowed to spread around the region, could become worse because people are not connected with services.

Yes, there will be complaints, and so there should be. Without a vigilant population, community safety can deteriorate.

Fortunately, the Coquitlam RCMP and the staff at 3030 Gordon appear ready to deal with many issues — and the more they know they more they can work through problems.

As well, it should be noted that while being homeless is not a crime, some kinds of public conduct are illegal and should be reported to the police.

It’s also true that a little understanding goes a long way to making the community a safer place.

BEARS

MAPLE CREEK

Both humans and bears Please work need to learn to adapt around nature, The Editor, Re. “Locked garbage bins will not keep the bears away” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 26).

Please people, let us put to rest the old song about “development” and “habitat encroachment” as a cause for the increase in bear activity.

The reason is people providing food and the animals’ adaptability. Two examples: The North Shore, back in its developmental days, put a limit on how far up and back the development could go because of issues with the watershed. Those rules have not changed in nearly a century.

The North Shore has certainly become more dense but with very little encroachment up and back.

I grew up in North Van and when I was a kid, if a bear wandered into the city, it was frontpage news. And we sure didn’t do anything special with our garbage. Now, bear sightings

are a daily occurrence. The bears — and coyotes, skunks and raccoons, etc.) adapted.

Closer to home, I am not sure about the expansion of Burke Mountain regarding the development north but I would think it is a couple of kilometres.

If you look at Google Earth and draw a line straight north from the top of Coast Meridian to the North Pole, you will encounter very little civilization along the way, save for a very few roads. Do you really think that us pushing the housing a few kilometres up the hill is going to affect the bears’ habitat? I don’t think so.

Bears are smart, they adapt, we need to deal with that.

Being more careful with food being left around will help a great deal but until the bears re-adapt and go back to the real wilderness, this problem isn’t going away.

Pete Robertson, Port Coquitlam

JUST DESTROY BEARS?

The Editor, I am so tired of reading about “problem” bears. Letter writer Dave Carruthers is correct. Having lived in PoCo for 30-plus years, and having watched with astonishment and sadness the unbridled growth on Burke Mountain in Coquitlam, it amazes me that our elected officials continue this stupidity.

The residents of this area — bears, deers, etc. — have been squeezed and squeezed for habitat. Give them a break.

Burke Mountain is an eyesore, at best. Food for the bears is everywhere. Shall you just destroy them to the point of of non-existence? Sure looks that way to me.

Betty Anne Myers, Port Coquitlam

LOCK ALL OF OUR TRASH CANS

The Editor, I am sick of reading stories about our so called “conservation” officers killing bears, particularly when they orphan young cubs.

So I have to ask the question: Why, when the city gave us these new garbage cans, do only the green waste have locks? Are we suppose to wash the rest of are garbage so it doesn’t entice the bears?

Stop killing the bears.

My partner and I recently moved to Port Coquitlam from Vancouver, although I called the Coquitlam area home for many years because my grandfather lived here for nearly two decades. The walks he and I used to take around local creeks and trails in the area near his house were some of the most memorable times I had as a child.

DAY Working for a better future: it’s a labour of love lowest in Canada. And their policies which foster a low-wage economy means nearly 500,000 workers earn less than poverty level wages.

Some 60% are women. Four out of five work for companies with more than 20 employees. Eighty percent are adults. And one in seven poverty wage earners holds a university degree.

By Irene Lanzinger BC Federation of Labour As we celebrate the holiday—Labour Day—that honours the contributions working people make every day to our economy and our communities, I’m asking all British Columbians to take a moment to think about this.

Imagine you work full-time and support yourself or your family on less than $20,000 a year in Canada’s most expensive province.

Imagine how would you put food on the table, or meet the rent? Make a car payment or the fare for public transportation? Pay for school fees or a visit to the dentist for your son or daughter?

While it’s hard to imagine for most British Columbians, it’s a reality for far too many people in our province who work hard every day but earn less that $15 an hour.

Thanks to Premier Clark and her government, BC’s $10.45 per hour minimum wage is the

That’s why the BC Federation of Labour and our affiliate unions are working closely with community groups to push for a $15 per hour minimum wage.

“We live in an incredibly wealthy province.

But when it comes to how that wealth is shared, we are a deeply unequal society where a small group controls most of the wealth.”

Our Fightfor15BC.ca campaign is a concrete solution to improve living standards for hundreds of thousands of workers and their families, and to address the widening gap between rich and poor that’s at the root of our festering economic inequality crisis.

DAY Continued from Page 16 The plight of low-wage workers and the abject failure of the Clark government to tackle poverty and growing inequality are symbolic of what’s wrong with our province. It defines the choices voters can make in next May’s election.

We live in an incredibly wealthy province.

But when it comes to how that wealth is shared, we are a deeply unequal society where a small group controls most of the wealth.

For hard working people and our families, it’s tougher to get ahead.

Unless we do something fast and chart a different course, our province is going to be a place where only the rich can live.

I remain incredibly optimistic that we can do better here in BC. Change is possible. There’s a lot that can be done.

Together, we can choose a B.C. where we all have the chance for a better life – and where our kids can build their future.

Irene Lanzinger is president of the BC Federation of Labour, which represents more than 500,000 unionized workers in BC.

Happy Labour Day Enjoy your day celebrating the achievements of working people in the Tri-Cities and across Canada.

Chamber Members - Building Community & Making a Difference As you may have read in the Tri-Cities News last week, a couple of local business leaders, who are long time Chamber members have stepped up to provide stability and security for newly-arrived Syrian refugees. They gave them meaningful work and employment.

Michael Hind, CEO

Bill Dick of Phoenix Truck and Crane and Fred Soofi of Pasta Polo both saw the need for opportunities among these newcomers. They took their obligation to the Tri-Cities community to the next level by hiring these willing and capable folks and providing opportunity for the new mem bers of our society.

In 2015, research undertaken by the Tri-Cities Local Immigration Partnership, a group of community organizations and businesses that help facilitate immigrant settlement and integration in the Tri-Cities, shows that there is a great disparity between the incomes of recent immigrants and the total population. This disparity represents the many barriers to integration and self-sufficiency that immigrants face in our community while attempting to build new lives. Our Immigration and International Trade policy committee is actively looking at this information to explore out how the Tri-Cities Chamber can best participate in the settlement and integration of new immigrants and refugees.

I’m very proud to be part of an organization that understands the key role that immigrants and refugees play in our local economy and community. And I’m proud that we can count on leaders like Bill and Fred. The steps they’re taking to employ new immigrants and refugees provides much needed support to a vulnerable part of our community and should be an example to us all. We encourage other businesses to follow their lead and assist in the transition to a new country for new immigrants and refugees. Providing meaningful employment for those new to our community is one of many ways that we can build strong businesses and strong communities.

After nearly a decade of pushing for improved public pensions, Canada’s premiers finally agreed that it was time to expand the Canada Pension Plan. Later this year, the federal government will put legislation before Parliament to implement the first increase in retirement income benefits in half a century.

Without the support of the provincial government and many municipal councils across BC, this may never have happened. But it was BC’s unions, working with pension experts and seniors’ groups, who convinced those municipalities and the province that it was time to strengthen public pensions.

Today’s seniors still need help to avoid falling into poverty. Many are working long into what they thought would be their golden years, only to find the jobs, like their private pensions and savings plans, don’t deliver the goods.

It is young workers who will benefit most from an expanded CPP. Faced with the same hostile job market as their elders, and record levels of debt,

today’s youth needed a new way to save for retirement. Changing the CPP will make a big difference when the time comes.

Victories like this are what get trade unionists out of bed in the morning. For Canada’s unions, making life better for working people is, and always has been, a labour of love.

PORT MOODY ATTN: MATURE WORKERS SEEKING EMPLOYMENT WE CAN HELP YOU...

The Canada we want has always been a country based on fairness, equality, and cooperation. It’s one where a day’s work is fairly compensated, where nobody has to choose between their job and their health, and where after a lifetime of work, no one should face retiring into poverty.

Support your goal in finding work that suits you Inform you of current employment trends Assist you in creating a competitive resume Assist you with online job applications

It’s one where working people have the stability and security to make plans for the future. Where our race, our gender, our bodies, who we love, and how we live aren’t used against us. Where we are free to come together and work together for everyone’s benefit.

This is why unions in BC are coming together with community organizations, anti-poverty groups, and others in support of efforts like the “Fight for15. It’s only fair.” campaign.

Like retirement savings, we’ve learned the hard way that good jobs don’t just happen. They need to be cultivated — seeded, nurtured, and protected. Which is why Canada’s unions are encouraging governments to restore the conditions required to grow the good jobs people need.

Raising the minimum wage to a living wage, then tying it to the cost of living is a good place to start.

It’s also time to restore and protect sick days for all workers, so nobody has to choose between losing their job and their health.

DAY Continued from Page 21 The country and the economy we want are within reach. We only need to work together to succeed.

The same can be said for our continuing call for the federal government to ban asbestos.

care system $1.7 billion a year.

Winning a comprehensive ban will save lives and prevent the pain, suffering, and heartache endured by too many today. Canada’s unions have been working with employers and governments for 40 years to protect people from this killer. We’re working with the new federal government to get the job done.

From construction materials to brake pads, asbestos-laden materials are still in daily use. Imports of asbestos into Canada are also on the rise. Buildings – hospitals, warehouses, rinks, community centres – contaminated with asbestos remain unregistered, keeping the people who use them and work in them at risk.

Good jobs, safe workplaces, fairness, and equality are the basic ingredients of a better future. These are the things that unions believe in and work for every day. For us, it truly is a labour of love and it’s what motivates us to parade in the street and celebrate in the parks, playgrounds, and community spaces across Canada this weekend. Happy Labour Day, Canada!

Today, more than 2,000 Canadians die every year from asbestos-related disease. It is the leading cause of workplace-related death and it costs our health

LUNCH BOX TIPS TO KEEP YOUR CHILD EATING, AND HEALTHY First, look for recipes that contain milk or alternatives, whole grains, nut butters, grated, pureed or mashed fruit

and vegetables.

Remember that some snacks like cookies, ice cream, shakes and puddings are high in fat and sugar. Offer these only occasionally and be sure to brush teeth afterwards to avoid tooth decay.

As well: • Keep it simple and easy to eat but healthy and appetizing.

• Try to include foods from each of the four food groups in Canada’s Food Guide (Vegetables and Fruit, Grain Products, Milk and Alternatives and Meat and Alternatives).

• Kids love to eat what they create. Let your child choose from a healthy list of choices to create his or her own lunch.

• Speed-up the process by cutting extra veggies when you’re preparing dinner or by making extra at meals to use as ‘Re-Runs’ for lunches the following day.

• On a cold day, a small thermos of soup, pasta, or other hot item can be satisfying. Freeze yogurt tubes and juice boxes. This will keep them cool until your child is ready to eat.

• A child’s taste seems to change on a whim, try new things regularly and don’t be afraid to try them again and again. It can take many exposures to new foods before children learn to like them.

ANCE CREATIVE D

Making it special • Special napkin or straw • Sticker, picture • Funny joke, poem, or other note Veggies and fruits Tips for adding veggies and fruit to the meal: • Choose in season produce when possible.

• Freeze summer fruits to enjoy all year round.

• Try a fruit smoothie served in a thermos.

Offer a variety of different choices over the week such as: • Cauliflower or broccoli florets • Baby corn, fresh sweet radishes • Pepper strips (yellow, green, red, orange) • Turnip or zucchini sticks • Peas in a pod or snow pea pods • Cherry tomatoes • Melon balls, cherries, berries • Kiwi, pears, peaches • Papaya, mango Tips to avoid choking • Soften hard vegetables by cooking them slightly.

• Grate vegetables such as carrots.

• Chop fruit into small pieces (even grapes), and be sure to remove large seeds or pits.

• Cut hot dogs in half lengthwise.

• Spread nut butters thinly on toast or crackers.

• Avoid hard or sticky foods like nuts, seeds, popcorn, hard candies, gum.

SCHOOL REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR LESSONS AND CLASSES Registration is now open for all Place des Arts 2016/17 lessons and classes in music, dance and the visual, literary and theatre arts. Program offerings may be viewed at www.placedesarts. ca and in the 2016/17 Program Guide, now online and available in print at Place des Arts.

Each season, Place des Arts offers new classes to pique curiosity and engage creativity. This season is no exception, with an extensive list of exciting new

classes open for all ages and abilities.

Of particular note are the Adapted Art classes for ages 5 to 13 and those 13+ (including adults). These classes will be taught by Place des Arts pottery teacher David Robinson, who has extensive experience teaching special needs students. Participants will explore a variety of visual art techniques such as drawing, painting, clay sculpting and hand building, practice fine-motor skills, create artwork, develop social skills and build confidence in a safe and

nurturing environment. Participants who require one-on-one support must provide their own support worker/ volunteer helper.

Also noteworthy, several new music classes for kids and teens include an innovative “Body Rhythm and Percussion” class where youth ages 11 to 15 can explore the world of percussion music using voice, body percussion, shakers, scrapers, strikers and drums with drummer Jason Overy.

For teens ages 13 to 17 who want to

rock, resident rocker Jimmy Baldwin is forming a student Rock Band and is seeking guitarists, a bass guitarist, a keyboard player and a drummer. The emphasis of the band will be on group interplay and cohesiveness, and the class will draw primarily from various genres such as rock, pop, blues, jazz and funk. Players need at least one year of music lessons with their instrument.

Finally, kids ages 8 to 12 can learn to sing together like the cast of the hit TV show Glee in a new Theatrical Per-

formance Choir. Singers will focus on two to three part harmonies, learning all the amazing qualities of their own voice with music ranging from musical theatre to modern pop music. This class is taught by PdA Triple Threat Natasha Sengotta.

Amongst the copious new classes for adults this season, Place des Arts is thrilled to have the very funny David C. Jones on board to teach a Stand-up Comedy mini-session class. This crash course runs four weeks in November

and is perfect for the already hilarious or for those who want to learn how to make people laugh.

Also in the theatre arts department, kids can get started down the path to becoming triple threats early in the new Mini Musical Theatre class for ages 3 to 5, where they’ll learn to sing, dance and act out their favourite stories with teacher Cristi Lowis.

TRI-CITY FALL ARTS LINEUP

A season of music, fests & fun JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

From exhibit openings to Coquitlam 125 activities, this fall in the Tri-Cities is packed with arts and culture fun.

Last week, The Tri-City News asked community arts leaders to send us their three “must attend” events for next season.

And here’s what they offered:

SEPTEMBER

Evergreen Cultural Centre season launch party, Sept.

16: It’s been 20 years since the Coquitlam arts venue opened its doors and it’s marking the occasion with rockin’ performances by Brickhouse and the SweatPea Swing Band. Visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Community Heritage Picnic, Sept. 17: Go back to the future — to 1891, to be precise — when Coquitlam became incorporated as a municipality. To honour its 125th year, the city invites residents to play traditional games during an afternoon at Blue Mountain Park.

The Terry Fox Theatre, attached to Terry Fox secondary school, is run by School District 43.

The Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 has released its year-end numbers for the Terry Fox Theatre since it changed its management structure for the Port Coquitlam venue.

Chris Nicolls, SD43’s assistant-treasurer, told The Tri-City News the theatre had 337 bookings from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 — 216 of which came from external organizations, with the remainder associated with school-based activities for music, arts and other presentations.

Nicolls was not able to provide a comparison from the previous year.

Last June, SD43 unexpectedly severed ties with theatre manager Rick Rinder after months of negotiation over the facility operations and finances.

Without consulting city staff or council in Port Coquitlam — which in 1998 had contributed to building the 336-seat proscenium theatre attached to Terry Fox secondary, to ensure community use — SD43 turned the bookings over to a co-ordinator who was also in charge of all the district’s properties — school rooms, gyms, etc. — available for rental.

That re-structure saved the district up to $90,000 a year, Nicolls said, and “the transition to the rental approach has

Rick Rinder was hired in November 2013 by SD43 to manage the Terry Fox Theatre. The district cut ties with him in June 2014. eliminated this subsidy completely.”

Nicolls said funding for the rental co-ordinator job is offset “by the expected increase in rental revenues”; the disclosure will be released as part of SD43’s financial report on Sept. 13.

Besides rentals management, the co-ordinator is also in charge of marketing Terry Fox Theatre. “We have established relationships with a number of performing arts companies that continue,” he said. “Word of mouth in the arts community and filming productions provide two important areas of marketing initiatives.”

Nicolls also confirmed the facilities’ regular maintenance scheduled has been kept up.

Rinder, who is well-known across Canada for theatre

management and was hired by SD43 in November 2013, had warned before he left that Terry Fox Theatre and its technical equipment would fall into a state of disrepair if the venue wasn’t properly supervised.

Last year, the Port Coquitlam Theatre Society — of which Rinder replaced — donated $200,000 to the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation. The gift from the non-profit group was put into a new performing arts endowment fund managed by the philanthropical organization. The society also made a contribution to the Vancouver Foundation for a scholarship/bursary fund for SD43 graduating students to help with post-secondary tuition for performance arts. In addition, it bought equipment for the Terry Fox Theatre. jwarren@tricitynews.com

“We believe that, given the state of current affairs in the world, Dying City is quite an important and timely piece,” Mathivanan wrote last week to The Tri-City News.

Set in New York City post 9/11, the narrative is about grief staged against the political landscape of war and conflict in Iraq.

portrays the lead.

“Aenigma Theatre is always dedicated to providing opportunities for young artists to showcase their abilities in plays that are not always widely produced but are full of rich and nuanced characters,” Mathivanan said. “With the help of the Vancouver Fringe Festival, we have seized this opportunity to come together to create a piece that we feel quite passionately about.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

JUNIOR A LACROSSE

Jr. A’s Minto mission accomplished Adanacs down Northmen 6-5 in Minto Cup finals GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

He has been in five National Lacrosse League championships, won three Mann Cups and two Founders Cups and now Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs head coach Pat Coyle has added a Minto Cup to his resume.

The A’s knocked off the Orangeville Northmen 6-5 in overtime Monday night, locking up the club’s second Minto Cup in the team’s history and the first in four appearances since 2011.

“It is unbelievable,” a jubilant Coyle told The TriCity News on the floor of the Langley Events Centre after the game. “I came aboard last year and we lost to Six Nations so it does feel like a bit of redemption for that.”

For the players that have been with the club for its last four unsuccessful appearances on junior ‘A’ lacrosses’ biggest stage, the victory is even more significant, he added.

“It is more about the guys that have been here for three or four Mintos,” Coyle said. “It is so awesome that our last year guys can leave on this note.”

Monday’s game capped a back-and-forth series and a tight championship final that saw both teams hold the lead at different points in the night.

A’s goalie Christian Del Bianco was given tournament MVP honours for his stellar performance in net, which he kept up in the final where he stopped 59 of the 64 shots he faced in 70 minutes of action for a 0.922 save percentage.

“It feels good,” he said after the game. “It feels a lot better than going home

With neither team’s forwards able to take a significant lead on the scoreboard, goaltending was crucial in the Minto finals. But Del Bianco looked to be seeing the shots well and was quick to swallow up any rebounds.

“I don’t think it adds any pressure,” he said of being in a close-scoring championship game. “Pressure depends on how you take things. You can’t

focus on what the score. It is just what is next.”

He said the team will take a few days to celebrate, particularly players like Tyler Pace, who has been to the finals in the last few years and finishes his junior A career with a title.

“We have always been so close,” Del Bianco said. “It is our club’s second one so it is obviously a big deal for us.”

Del Bianco came close to ending the game in regula-

tion when, with 23 seconds left and the game tied 5-5, the Northmen took possession and pulled their goalie for the extra attacker. The Coquitlam netminder managed to scoop up the rebound and send the ball the length of the floor, just missing the Orangeville net.

But the Jr. Adanacs only needed three more minutes in extra time to re-take the lead, with the club buckling down defensively for the remainder

of the overtime period.

When the final buzzer sounded Coquitlam was up 6-5. Players, friends and family spilled onto the floor while jersey-clad fans pounded on the glass to show their support.

“Our alumni came in big for Game 5,” Del Bianco said.

“Having fans in the stands — the support has been massive.”

The game started well for Coquitlam.

Nicholas Mcnabb opened

the scoring when he snuck past an Orangeville defender and buried a pass from Jean-Luc Chetner midway through the first period. The A’s took the 1-0 lead into the first intermission and added an insurance marker in the early in the second when Reid Bowering scored on a breakaway to make it 2-0.

But Orangeville wasted little time in responding.

Northmen runner Adam Charalambides was able to pickup a pass in front of Coquitlam’s net and slip the ball underneath Del Bianco’s glove hand before Thomas Hoggarth tied things up 12 minutes later.

The scoring picked up in the third period when Tyler Pace made it 3-2 for the A’s but the Northmen came back with two unanswered goals — one from Matt Vangalen and another from Hoggarth to make it 4-3 for Orangeville.

It has been a long week for both the Northmen and the Adanacs.

Both teams locked up their playoff spots early during the round-robin portion of the tournament, with Coquitlam taking down Orangeville 8-7 before defeating the Calgary Mountaineers 10-3.

That was enough to get the A’s into the best-of-five playoff round against the Northmen and Coquitlam won the series opener 3-2 in a game that telegraphed the low-scoring nature of the series.

Orangeville won Game 2 9-6 before Coquitlam bounced back with a 9-7 victory last Saturday night. Sunday’s game was also close, ending 6-5 in favour of the Northmen, which set the stage for Monday night’s final.

“It was an unbelievable series,” Coyle said heading to the dressing room after the game.

“The one I haven’t won is a Minto Cup, so that says it all for me.” sports@tricitynews.com
