A big chill & big plans DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

High school students from across District 43, along with concentration camp survivor Janos Benisz, hold candles to remember victims of the Nazi Holocaust and other victims of genocide at the 10th annual Holocaust Symposium held Wednesday at the Coquitlam Alliance Church. The event, which was organized by Dr. Charles Best secondary teacher Ken Ipe and his Social Justice 12 class, included films, presentations by scholars and a question and answer period. See story, page 8.

The first wave of winter is expected to descend on the Tri-Cities this weekend, with temperatures possibly dipping to zero.

And that has homeless advocates, city workers and transportation authorities announcing plans for dealing with a big chill.

The city of Port Coquitlam has issued a public service announcement urging people to prepare their emergency kits and make plans for dealing with ice and snow, including contact information for snow removal and waste issues.

“The city’s snow and ice removal fleet and equipment are ready to go when needed. The city is monitoring road temperatures daily to determine when brining is required,” the press release states, also recommending people go to the city’s website (www.portcoquitlam. ca/snow) as Environment Canada predicts a chance of flurries Friday night and possibly next Tuesday. see MORE SNOW, page 7

TRI-CITY FARMERS MARKETS

Weather chills, market continues Change of produce accompanying a change of season MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

The last thing Tabitha McLoughlin wanted to see in the weather forecast is snow flurries but there they are in today’s prognostication.

The executive director of Port Moody’s winter farmers market, which begins on Sunday at the Port Moody recreation complex, is gladdened by the sunshine that is forecast for that day, though.

McLoughlin says customers will endure the cold, but not so much rain and snow, when it comes to filling their pantries with root vegetables and locally produced staples likes eggs, bread, jams and jellies, as well as meat and beer.

Last winter, with its series of snow storms that iced roads and chilled fingers, was a tough one for outdoor markets across Metro Vancouver. Fresh seasonal produce such as kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrots and onions was in short supply as the cold weather froze crops, accumulated snow prevented harvesting of what did grow and treacherous road conditions kept farmers from getting what they were able to salvage to market.

Still, nine years in,

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tabitha McLoughlin, executive director of the Port Moody winter farmer’s market, is up to her eyeballs with some of the seasonal produce that will be available at the opening of its ninth season on Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Port Moody recreation complex.

McLoughlin says Port Moody’s winter market has managed to build a loyal clientele of customers and vendors who will persevere.

“They’re people who’ve made a commitment to being healthier, people who are

knowledgeable about their food choices and they want to support local producers,” McLoughlin said.

While a summer market may be all about the bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables, chatting with neighbours and lingering

for the festive vibe, the winter market is all about stocking up for the days and weeks ahead.

“People don’t linger, they don’t hang out as much,” McLoughlin said, adding many customers visit the winter market on their way to and from

activities at the rec centre.

The diminished, and sometimes precarious, availability of fresh produce though the winter months also means the market has to focus on supplying essential items like breads and meats as well as an array

of prepared artisanal comfort foods like soups, teas and chowders as well as beers from two local breweries: PoMo’s Moody Ales and Coquitlam’s Mariner Brewing.

McLoughlin said of the dozen new vendors at this winter’s market, 90% of them are offering prepared foods like Japanese wet salt, avocado ice cream and honey-infused herbal teas.

“It’s their time,” McLoughlin said of the prepared food vendors. “It’s a good opportunity for them when they’re often pushed out of summer markets by all the fresh food.”

In an effort to keep people from turning the weekly market into a quick stop for bread and eggs, the winter market is again offering a series of seasonal workshops on things like flower arranging, home decor for the Christmas holidays and building houses to attract mason bees. There will also be a crafts table to occupy younger visitors.

It’s definitely a slower pace than the hectic summer market season, McLoughlin said.

“It’s more relaxed. It’s human nature for us to use the winter to recoup and recharge.”

• The Port Moody winter market runs every Sunday from Nov. 5 until April, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Port Moody recreation complex, 300 Ioco Rd. For more information, go to makebakegrow.com. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

GOVERNOR GENERAL’S LITERARY AWARD

National award for Port Moody’s Kanagawa JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Mythic. Heart-breaking.

Poetic.

These are the words used by a peer assessment committee in describing Indian Arm, the play for which Port Moody writer and actor Hiro Kanagawa was awarded the 2017 Governor General’s Literary Award for drama on Wednesday.

Kanagawa took first prize for his fourth full-length play, which is based on Henrik Ibsen’s Little Eyolf but set on the North Shore and centred on First Nations land.

The national award means $25,000 for Kanagawa, who will also be invited to meet Gov.-General Julie Payette at her first official ceremony with

HIRO KANAGAWA the Canada Council on Nov. 29 at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. He will read and sign books the next day at the Canada Council office with other Englishlanguage winners.

“It was such an honour to be nominated,” Kanagawa told The

Tri-City News. “To be included in this group — with two previous Governor General award recipients — is very special.”

Kanagawa said his phone

has been ringing since the announcement was made. “A lot of people on the east coast found out while we were still in bed on the west coast and phoned in their congratulations,” he said. “It’s been an exciting day.”

Indian Arm was up against Michael Healey’s 1979, Robert Chafe’s The Colony of Unrequited Dreams, Kate Hennig’s The Virgin Trial and Anna Chatterton’s Within the Glass.

Of Kanagawa’s work, which was published by Playwrights Canada Press, the committee wrote: “Indian Arm is a timely and evocative manifestation of the characters’ struggle with their relationship to the land.

Hiro Kanagawa masterfully navigates the tension between

Mythic. Heart-breaking. Poetic.”

A native of Sapporo, Japan, Kanagawa previously won the 2015 Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for Outstanding Original Script for Indian Arm, which was performed by Rumble Theatre in Vancouver. Rumble’s artistic director, Stephen Drover, who had previously directed Kanagawa’s play The Patron Saint of Stanley Park for the Arts Club Theatre, commissioned him to adapt the Ibsen play in 2013.

Because of the First Nations component in Indian Arm, Kanagawa sought and received the blessing from Leonard George, an elder with the TsleilWaututh Nation who is the

Other 2017 Governor-General winners include: We’ll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night, fiction, by Joel Thomas Hynes; On Not Losing My Father’s Ashes in the Flood, poetry, by Richard Harrison; and The Way of the Strangers: Encounters with the Islamic State, non-fiction, by Graeme Wood.

Kanagawa is well-known in Vancouver’s TV and film industry, having been a story editor for series including Da Vinci’s Inquest and Da Vinci’s City Hall, Intelligence and Blackstone.

As an actor, he has recently appeared in the TV series Legends of Tomorrow, Altered Carbon, iZombie and Kim’s Convenience.

WITH SUCH PROBLEMS AS

SUPERHERO ON PM GARBAGE PATROL A superhero’s days as a champion of recycling in Port Moody won’t be coming to an end after all.

The giant character painted by artist David Pacholko that has adorned the side of one of four garbage trucks since 2011 will get a new life on the sides of a new truck as the city prepares to decommission its fleet of four older vehicles.

At the Oct. 24 council meeting, councillors approved the expenditure of $17,500 to implement a similar art program for the new trucks. Two will be done by artists commissioned by the city through an open public art call. A third will be a reimagining of Pacholko’s recycling superhero character as he’ll be commissioned to paint his character in a new scene. The fourth truck will be a collage of artwork created by students from Port Moody schools.

To reinforce the environmental waste-reduction theme of the trucks’ artwork, interchangeable panels will also be installed and will feature messages about waste reduction, the city’s Bear Aware programs, changes to garbage collection schedules and upcoming special events. areas of the city they might not otherwise visit,” Clay said, noting the city’s compact size and linear geography make it ideal for such a small-scale, localized transit service.

A round trip, accounting for traffic and stops, would take about 25 to 30 minutes. The proposed service would run from 4 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and 2 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays.

Clay estimates the cost of contracting for a trolley and driver would be about $27,000 for the 10-week pilot program, plus another $10,000 for signage and staff time.

A weekend trolley bus service linking Port Moody’s Inlet Centre, Rocky Point Park and Moody Centre could be in place as a pilot program next summer — and the city is hoping TransLink will help pay for it.

In a report presented to council at its Oct. 24 meeting, Mayor Mike Clay said the service would help relieve some of the traffic and parking congestion in the park and nearby Brewers Row during the summer months, from June through August.

“Parking at Rocky Point Park and the surrounding area is now regularly at or beyond capacity during the peak hours in the summer and, without good transit service, there would be a higher likelihood of people visiting the breweries and pubs, and later driving,” Clay said in his report.

Providing a “hop-on/hopoff” trolley bus that travels in a loop from Inlet Centre to Moody Centre and connects various parking areas at schools and city lots to Rocky Point Park, would encourage local residents to leave their cars at home as well as make it easier for visitors from other communities to attend festivals and events at the park.

“This is a solution for parking congestion as well as an economic driver to move people to

Some of that cost could be recouped from TransLink. At its meeting, council directed staff to confirm cost estimates for the service and to explore funding options with the regional transit authority.

Clay said the city could then decide whether to cover some of its expenses by charging a fare for the trolley ride or just offer it for free.

If the pilot project proceeds and is a success, the city could hold a referendum about funding the service to operate yearround.

More snow equipment

Public Notice

continued from front page

Both Port Moody and Coquitlam have issued reports on how they will deal with snow removal, with PoMo calling for more equipment and improved communication between staff and police and enhanced training for staff.

Coquitlam, meanwhile plans to equip four more large pick up trucks with plows and salters to clear the roads.

(School District 43 did not provide information on its winter equipment and snow clearing plans before The Tri-City News’ print deadline).

TransLink held a press conference Thursday to outline its winter weather plans and reflect on lessons learned from last winter’s record-breaking weather while the province announced that a new cable collar system will be installed on the Alex Fraser Bridge, similar to one employed on the Port Mann Bridge, to prevent ice bombs from dropping on cars.

Local shelters are also planning for winter weather with extra beds for people without housing.

BC Housing is funding 30 winter response shelter spaces at the permanent shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam that is open 24/7 from through the end of March. This is in addition to the 30 self-contained transitional studio units for longer stays and 30 permanent shelter beds for

Suncor Burrard Terminal – TRANSLINK

A maintenance worker demonstrates the installation of a tire sock that should provide extra grip for buses running on snowy and hilly routes. TransLink will pilot use of the socks on buses operating between the Production Way-University SkyTrain station and SFU, the transportation authority announced during a press conference yesterday on how it plans to be ready for winter. Other initiatives include de-icing trains that will run along SkyTrain tracks.

For more information on TransLink’s plans, go to tricitynews.com. individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

As well, there will be 20 temporary mats available for people to sleep on at Trinity United Church in Port Coquitlam if temperatures dip below zero. Those who arrive at Trinity will be allowed to stay from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., with volunteers providing a hot meal in the evening, a light breakfast in the morning and a bagged lunch to go.

Sandy Burpee, who coordinates the extreme weather response, said Trinity is waiting for the mats to arrive before it can open its temporary shelter, which only operates when the weather is extremely cold and

damp. Still, he is not certain how many people will use the 20 mats at Trinity now that the dorm beds are open this winter at 3030 Gordon.

“The question was do we even need extreme weather beds. I think ‘yes.’ Last year, police would bring in people late at night who were not sheltered. I know they will want to have that capacity available to them.”

But he said opening up the dorm beds for the entire winter at the permanent shelter is a good idea because it gives people a place to stay during the day.

Port Moody, B.C. We want to share more information about what’s happening at our Burrard Terminal to encourage an open dialogue with our neighbours. So we’re posting community notifications about our operations and activities online in real time.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

There is a moment when young people have to come to grips with the contradictions of being human and the consequences of hate.

For thousands of School District 43 students, that moment comes when they meet a Holocaust survivor and hear their chilling story during the annual Holocaust Symposium organized by Dr. Charles Best secondary teacher Ken Ipe and his Social Justice 12 class.

It’s a challenging moment, says Ipe, but an important one for many students.

Through films, presentations from scholars and storytelling by Holocaust survivors, students come to understand what can happen so easily and quickly when people decide others are not human beings and should be killed.

“You can have an A in chemistry but so what,” Ipe says.

“What’s your moral compass?”

This year, the 10th annual symposium was held Wednesday at Coquitlam Alliance Church, where students talked about the systemic and state-sponsored

Ken Ipe, a Dr. Charles Best secondary school English and Social Justice 12 teacher, just hosted the 10th annual Holocaust Symposium he and his students organized. Hundreds of School District 43 and local private high school students attended the event Wednesday at Coquitlam Alliance Church.

Among the keynote speakers was Holocaust survivor Janos Benisz, who was sent to a concentration camp with his mother at the age of six and later came to Canada as a war orphan. persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators in Europe during the late 1930s and early ’40s.

They also heard from Janos Benisz, who was sent to a Nazi concentration camp at the age of six with his mother and

later came to Canada as a war orphan.

Also speaking were Lauren Faulkner Rossi, an assistant professor of history at SFU who teaches Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and teacher Megan Leslie, who outlined a Tri-City connection to the Auschwitz

concentration camp where a Coquitlam family’s accordion resides in a museum exhibit.

Ipe says it’s important to continue to hold the symposium but it will become increasingly more challenging in the coming years as the number of Holocaust survivors

is dwindling.

To continue to be relevant, the program will talk to survivors of other conflicts, where people are being persecuted for their beliefs or other circumstances, but he worries it won’t have the same power.

In the meantime, however, leading up to the event, he was looking forward to hearing

students talk about projects they’re involved in to make a positive change, whether it be to support vulnerable people in the Downtown Eastside or to protest brutality in Myanmar.

Action is as important as words, said Ipe, “to end the cycle of indifference.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

HALLOWEEN

Police, fire officials say DENTURE WEARERS! Halloween fairly quiet COME IN AND RECEIVE GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

There were bangs and flashes but, overall, Halloween was a relatively uneventful night for emergency officials in the Tri-Cities.

With clear skies in the forecast for trick-or-treaters, Port Coquitlam Fire Chief Nick Delmonico said he and his team were bracing for a busy night but only three significant calls came in Tuesday, none associated with Halloween revellers.

“We were surprised,” he

said. “We thought with the weather being nice, we might be a little more active.”

Port Moody Fire Chief Ron Coulson and Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot both said they experienced similar evenings in their cities.

Pierlot said there was no calls of note while Coulson noted a clothing bin was set on fire in Port Moody, although it was unclear if the incident was related to Halloween.

“All our educational pieces have actually had a positive effect in reducing the amount of

WANT TO BE A MOUNTIE?

The RCMP Youth Academy, being held next spring, is recruiting Grade 11 and 12 students from Lower Mainland high schools.

The academy, to be held at a facility near Chilliwack from March 28 to April 5, 2018, is a partnership between the Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond RCMP detachments as well as school districts in those areas. Students who participate get an experience in policing that may help them decide if law enforcement is a suitable career path for them.

The annual Youth Academy is a week-long representation of the much-longer RCMP Depot training.

Students are required to pass a physical test, an interview and background investigation to ensure their suitability.

Interested students are encouraged to speak with their school counsellors to get an application package. The complete package must be submitted by Nov. 22 via the counsellor.

damage,” Coulson said. “There is the odd complaint of youths setting off fireworks, but no damage.”

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said police did receive a fair number of calls about fireworks but there were no significant incidents.

While the Saturday night prior to Halloween was a bit busier, he said, because Halloween fell on a Tuesday, most people likely kept their celebrations low key.

CENSUS STATS

Almost 3/4 own in the Tri-Cities, says census GARY MCKENNA

In Coquitlam, for example, 71.7% of residents said they owned their home while Port Coquitlam had the highest figure at 76.9%. Across the TriCities, 73.5% of households owned their home while 26.5% rented.

In Canada, 67.8% of households own their home compared to 31.8% that rent. The figures are the same for British Columbia.

The Tri-CiTy News

More than a quarter of Tri-City residents are paying monthly shelter costs that exceed what the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation deems affordable, according to census data released last week.

The numbers show that in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, 25% of residents pay more than 30% of their income each month on housing, which is the CMHC figure used to indicate whether housing is considered affordable.

In Coquitlam, the percentage is even higher, reaching 31.9% in the latest census figures.

And it appears that renters have been the hardest hit.

While the monthly carrying cost of owning a home is still higher, the data shows monthly shelter costs for renters have increased more sharply over the last decade. For example, the 2006 census found that in Coquitlam, renting cost an average of $878 — a number that has jumped 27.9% over the last decade to $1,217.

Meanwhile, the average owner has seen their monthly shelter costs rise 21.7% in Coquitlam, jumping from

This graph shows the proportions of renters versus owners in the Tri-Cities. $1,235 to $1,578.

The difference is similar in the two other municipalities.

In Port Moody, for example, the monthly shelter cost for a renter has increased 27.6% compared to 16.1% for owners over the last decade. And in PoCo, the monthly shelter cost for renters has risen 25.5% and 17.8% for owners during the same time period.

Still, in the Tri-Cities, the number of households that own their home is significantly higher than those that are renting.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Election cash caps

Candidates for city council and school board will have to work a little harder to attract votes in next fall’s civic elections if new campaign rules are passed as expected.

Instead of relying on a gravy train of union and corporate donations — worth over $500,000 in the Tri-Cities in the last elections in 2014 — they’ll have to find other ways to get voters’ attention and cash.

If slate politics becomes the norm, as one political scientist suggested in Wednesday’s Tri-City News, freewheeling independents with Facebook pages will now have to join up with other like-minded individuals, with the need to stick to prepared talking points and other hassles that go along with being part of a group.

And while there is no evidence that there was anything wrong with the traditional system, in that votes were not necessarily tied to donors’ cash, the new system will provide more transparency and accountability.

We’ve long supported a ban on union and corporate donations as well as caps on spending and donations, and believe this is the right step despite the challenges that it will entail.

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

DO YOU SUPPORT A PROPOSED BAN ON UNION AND CORPORATE DONATIONS FOR MUNICIPAL POLITICIANS?

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

Let’s ‘fall back’ for the final time this weekend G

et ready for a shock this weekend: It’s time to change the clocks and “fall back” once again.

That means that very soon, it will be getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. It also means a week of mixed-up sleep schedules and that wonky feeling that something isn’t quite right.

If it were up to me, this would be the last time we “fall back” in B.C. TRACY SHERLOCK We would “spring forward” once again next March and then stay on summer time forever.

It’s not a completely ridiculous idea; Saskatchewan, Hawaii and Arizona already stick to one time zone all year round.

The Union of BC Municipalities passed a motion in September to petition the government to consult with the people about abolishing the time change. The motion says the clock shift can have a “negative impact on people’s health and cognitive awareness.”

Two Kamloops residents got more than 26,000 names on a petition to end the time change practice in 2015 and Alberta recently considered a similar move after more than 20,000 Albertans wrote NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

letters in support of getting rid of the time changes, the CBC reported. One reason listed for not pursuing the change in Alberta was that if it passed, the province would be out of sync with other jurisdictions, such as B.C. At the same time, more than 128,000 people in the United States have signed a petition urging the American government to end the practice of changing the clocks and moving the United States to only two time zones. More than a dozen U.S. states are considering ending the twice-yearly practice of changing the clocks, the Washington Post reported.

Why should we stop changing the clocks?

First, nobody feels good after we “spring forward” or “fall back.” Everyone is tired and cranky and takes a few days to adjust.

Second, studies have shown an increase in both heart attacks and car accidents in the days following the spring time change.

The winter months are dark enough. Why do we want it to be dark at 4:30 p.m.? Think how nice it would be if it was light out until 5:30 p.m. every day. I know that means it will be darker in the morning but, let’s face it, in the morning we’re either going to work or school, or, if that’s not necessary, we’re happy to sleep in.

What about children? Many kids no longer walk to school, although it’s certainly an ideal to strive for. But if school children walking to school in the dark is really the primary concern, I

see no issue in moving school start times to half an hour or an hour later for the months of November, December, January and February. To me, that makes a heck of a lot more sense than changing everyone’s clocks for an hour each winter.

The clock switch first came into effect in March 1918 — exactly 100 years from when it needs to end. It was brought in to save fuel during the First World War. People hated it, though, and it was phased out again until the Second World War. It wasn’t uniformly used across North America until the 1960s, so it hasn’t been around forever. Let’s get rid of it. In 2006 in B.C., the period of standard time was shortened by nearly two months. Having fewer months on the dreaded standard time was considered a major improvement so let’s take that one step further and get rid of it all together.

Why daylight time? Well, who doesn’t love those beautiful summer evenings when it’s light until nearly 10 p.m. Everyone’s in a good mood, energy runs high, life is good. Who would want to give that up?

Premier John Horgan reportedly told delegates at the UBCM convention that if people want to get rid of the time changes, they should email him. Those who agree with me should shoot an email to premier@gov.bc.ca.

TRANSPORTATION

Problem with transpo. in Metro is the province The Editor, Re. “Transportation plans buckle under weight of politics” (Opinions, The Tri-City News, Oct. 27).

In his column last week, Mike Klassen must have been trying on his scary Halloween costume when he claimed he was “feeling a sense of gloom” about the region’s transportation struggles, blaming it all on “parochial politics.”

Spooky, but not accurate.

Mr. Klassen is right when he talks about the region’s transportation dysfunction but he is missing the mark when he identifies the Mayors’ Council as the culprit. In fact, it has been the region’s mayors leading the charge when it comes to working together on a comprehensive, long-term, region-wide plan to cut congestion, improve transit and invest in Metro Vancouver’s transportation network.

Dysfunction can hardly be ascribed to the group that came

together time and again with rigorously developed, widely supported plans, like we did in 2014 with the 10-Year Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation.

Mr. Klassen needs to take off his costume so he can see more clearly where the “politically driven” dysfunction lies, and that is with the provincial government. For almost a decade, the province blocked a succession of proposals from the Mayors’ Council to improve our region’s roads, bridges, buses and trains.

It was the previous provincial government, not the region’s mayors, that forced a disastrous referendum that delayed getting started on the 10-Year Vision by two years, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in higher construction costs due to inflation. The previous provincial government never approved any of the mayors’ funding plans and neither the previous

Following the misguided provincial referendum in 2015, the Mayors’ Council listened to what citizens said and got back to work to come up with a new approach to delivering the 10-Year Vision and its much needed improvements. We approved the first of three phases last November, using regionally generated revenue to fund 70% of the plan. We are now waiting on the new government in Victoria to respond to

our proposal to reinvest a small portion of the new carbon tax that will be paid by Metro Vancouver residents and business back into our transportation network. This is needed to fund the last 10% of the Phase Two Plan of the 10-Year Vision, fairly and affordably.

This proposal to reinvest the new provincial carbon tax back into Metro Vancouver transportation is another example of the region’s mayors leading the way to find solutions to our most pressing problems.

The only constant in the process, over the years, is the unity of the mayors to plan and implement solutions. We are now, yet again, waiting on our partners in Victoria to show us that they are ready to lead as well.

I hope they are. Halloween has come and gone but Christmas is coming.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Businesses can get ready for disasters JANIS CLEUGH

BIZ, BE READY

The Tri-CiTy News

Ask not what your city can do for you, ask what you can do for your city.

Tara Stroup modifies the famous quotation from the late American president John F. Kennedy when applying emergency preparedness tactics for businesses.

As the city of Port Coquitlam’s emergency program officer for the past six years, Stroup has laid out the map business owners need to follow before, during and after a major disaster to ensure they can get back on track quickly.

But once business operators are on their feet after, for example, a hazardous incident on the rails, a fire or a flood, Stroup said the city needs their goods and services, too.

Businesses can play a key role in the community’s recovery by providing food, water, shelter, communications, medical supplies and general clean-up, among other things.

And on Nov. 15 at the PoCo Inn and Suites Hotel, Stroup will host a free Business Continuity Planning Workshop to give companies tools to be ready in case an emergency strikes locally — plus ideas on how to

PoCo, Coquitlam and Port Moody businesses wanting to register for the free Business Disaster Recovery Workshop — Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. at the PoCo Inn and Suites — should call 604-927-5460 or email stroupt@portcoquitlam.ca. Refreshments are included.

TARA STROUP, CITY OF POCO partner with the municipality.

It’s the third year Stroup has organized a business recovery workshop in PoCo and this year’s lineup features speakers from Walmart Canada — a business leader in emergency preparedness — and Vancouver Police Department, which will talk about cyber security.

Stroup, who leads a team of 120 volunteers and is second in command in the event of a disaster in PoCo (after the city’s chief administrator and incident commander John Leeburn), said her job involves lots of planning and training of city hall personnel. In a crisis mode, “everyone needs to be on the same page and speak the same language, especially with fire and police,” she said last week

from her office at fire hall #1 where she has a command post and quonset huts filled with cots, blankets, first aid kits and other emergency supplies.

Luckily, she said, “PoCo has a lot of good plans and people who know what to do in a disaster. We are further ahead than most municipalities in the Lower Mainland.”

Her contacts through the Metro Vancouver emergency preparedness committee, which meets monthly, and through B.C.’s transportation ministry are also extensive. “Everything takes a lot of planning and organization, and we want to help businesses but we also want them to help us… It’s important for all of us to work together.”

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

James Harry, a First Nations carver from Squamish, is transforming a 10-foot piece of yellow cedar into a house post at Noons Creek Hatchery in Port Moody. The post will depict two salmon swimming into the centre of the post to represent their importance to the area.

A house post is meant to hold up a structure inside a longhouse to share stories as Coast Salish in the Lower Mainland didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have traditional totems. Harry will be continuing to carve the post through November and it will be raised in Rocky Point Park next summer. The welcome post is part of a five-month long project by the Port Moody Ecological Society and SUCCESS to recognize the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Nations knowledge as part of a call to action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Have you considered Planned Giving?

The Port Moody Foundation has invited the Community Ventures Society (CVS) to participate in a planned giving evening event on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at the Old Orchard Hall in Port Moody, from 7 - 9pm. CVS is one of three organizations selected to participate in this event.

The Port Moody Foundation has asked us to invite our members to participate in this event as a way to learn about the concept of planned giving. We ask you to consider the following statement of life circumstance that may apply to some of our members: “We are a married couple in our early 60’s. We hope to retire in four years.

Community Ventures Society has supported our adult child for over 15 years and we want to provide some financial support to the organization as a way of leaving a legacy. We want to do it in a way that best protects our estate for our children and grandkids, and at the same time contribute to our community.”

We are also inviting members of the general public who may be interested in leaving a legacy for an accredited nonprofit community organization serving the Tri-Cities. CVS provides quality services for children with developmental disabilities such as providing foster families, summer camps, family respite and specialized residential. For adults we provide services

like life skills, community inclusion, employment, outreach, and shared living services.

At the planned giving event there will be experts on taxation planning and law who will respond to the case statements and make recommendations on more tax efficient way to organize finances to optimize estates, reduce taxes and achieve stated goals. No one will be asked to do anything on the evening: the only objective is to help attendees to better plan financial affairs in light of legal and taxation realities.

Robert Simons, President of the Port Moody Foundation says, “We know that this kind of event is always popular and we find that people enjoy developing their understanding of law and taxation in the supportive environment of the community. Peoples’ financial matters are always personal and they are better able to organize them when there is an understanding of prevailing opportunities and constraints. If you have any questions about the event please contact myself at 604.939.8070 ext. 2020 or Robert Simon, President of the Port Moody Foundation at 604.461.6660. We hope to see you there.

Sincerely yours, Kevin Lusignan, MA, Executive Director

Tri-Cities power York Lions field hockey Local grads help Toronto team to compete for first national title

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The York University women’s field hockey team is coming a long way to play a home game.

But for many of the Lions’ players, that’s exactly what this weekend’s McCrae Cup national university championship final against the University of British Columbia, to be played at UBC, will be. Eight players are from the Tri-Cities, including fourth-year players Michelle Per and Paige Warner, as well as goalkeeper Alycia Gray. Another is from North Vancouver.

In fact, York coach Zeeshan Minhas credits much of York’s rise to their first Ontario University Athletics championship in 21 years to the pipeline of players from the Tri-Cities he’s developed in the five years he’s helmed the program.

Minhas said when he started looking to the west coast to recruit players, many of the schools in eastern Canada weren’t aware of the talent pool out here and the players didn’t know about the field hockey opportunities available to them in the east. He scouted the high school AAA championships and other top tournaments.

“My first year I went, nobody knew about York,” Minhas said.

“Once I started going down there, they started to see me as this guy who is always around.”

Once the migration of players began, it gathered momentum as they talked up their York experience to friends and club teammates back home.

“That word of mouth is definitely really important,” Minhas said.

First-year players — and Gleneagle secondary school grads — Laura Touhey, Amira Brar and Haley Bannister, celebrate York University’s first Ontario University Athletics field hockey championship last Sunday in Toronto. They’ll be part of a contingent of eight players from the Tri-Cities trying to help the team win its first national championship this weekend at the University of British Columbia. as well as a competitive high school league, is producing top players who are ready to step onto the university field, Minhas said.

“The kids out there are technically pretty sound, but you always have to polish them a bit to get them even better,” he said.

Having familiar faces around also helps their adjustment away from the field.

“When you’re coming that far, you look to see who you know on the team,” Minhas said. “It’s pretty helpful to make them comfortable.”

When Minhas took over York’s field hockey program, the team was lucky to win two games in a season. This season they’ve only lost two, and one of those was an exhibition match against a top club team during a tour of England and

Wales last August.

Their win over the University of Guelph Gryphons in last Sunday’s Ontario final was a thriller in which York twice relinquished one-goal leads in the first half until they were able to make their third goal, scored in the 43rd minute, stick.

Although it almost didn’t, as referees initially disallowed it, then reversed their decision after conferring with each other.

Minhas said his BC contingent of players was almost as excited about the opportunity to play for their first national championship back home as they were about winning the Ontario title.

“There are no words to express how excited they were,” he said. “For them it’s a dream to play in BC in front of family and friends.”

Minhas expects there will be

plenty of them in the grandstand and along the sidelines at Wright Field for the best twoof-three final that begins today (Friday). Even as the team was preparing for its departure on Wednesday he was fielding messages from parents of BC players about arranging team lunches and dinners, offering any help to make the visitors feel at home.

“Obviously they’re pretty excited,” Minhas said. “It’s creating a good vibe in our team.”

The Lions will need any edge they can get, as the Thunderbirds are the six-time defending national champions.

“It’s going to be a big challenge,” Minhas said of the Lions’ opposition. “They have a lot of skill players. There’s no superstars on our team. These kids are just devoted kids who’ve come from all over.”

And more may be on their way. Minhas said the final will also be an opportunity to showcase York’s field hockey program to “three or four” graduating high school seniors from the Tri-Cities.

• Game one of the McCrae Cup goes tonight (Friday) at 6 p.m. Game two will be played at 5 p.m. on Saturday, and game three, if necessary, is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday. All games are at Wright Field at UBC.

Douglas Royals playing for 2 national banners Women’s and men’s teams going to national championships MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kevin Brazil, of the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils, dekes his way around a Brookswood defender in the first half of their first round Fraser Valley finals match, Tuesday at the Charles Best turf field. Best won the match 6-0 and faced the Terry Fox Ravens in the second round on Thursday (after The Tri-City News deadline). Fox advanced by beating Semiamhoo 2-0 on Tuesday.

Both the Douglas Royals’ men’s and women’s soccer teams have the same goal.

But they’re heading in opposite directions to achieve it.

The men are off to Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo where they’ll play for the Canadian College Athletic Association national championship beginning Nov. 8 after they won their first PACWEST title since 2014 last Sunday with a 3-0 over the Quest Kermodes.

The Royals got the only goal they needed in the 34th minute when a Kermodes player knocked the ball into his own net.

Idris Najim extended their advantage to 2-0 in the 60th minute and Tetsuya Yoshinaga sealed the deal with his first goal of the re-

gional championship in the 87th minute.

The women will also be playing for the national championship. Although they’ll be traveling to the opposite end of the country, to Halifax, N.S. The Royals defeated the Capilano Blues in penalty kicks in Saturday’s PACWEST final. It was their second conference championship in three years.

After neither team was able to score in regulation and extra time, Douglas midfielder Sam Kell opened their account in the first round of penalty kicks by beating Blues’ keeper Nikki Gerbrandt.

Capilano’s Marsha Chesshire tied it in the second round. Then Mikayla Hamilton put the Royals back up in the third round but the Blues tied it in the fourth round.

That set the table for some fifth-round heroics for Douglas keeper Alex Gazzola. After she scored on Gerbrandt to put the Royals back in front, she then watched the Blues’ Sophia

Goto miss the net on their last shot.

Gazolla was named the player of the game.

The women’s championship also begins Nov. 8.

CLAN IN HUNT

The SFU Clan men’s soccer team still has its destiny in its own hands. But it won’t be easy for them to win the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and claim automatic passage in the NCAA Division II championship.

A 2-2 draw Saturday against Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, ID., that came on the heels of a 2-1 setback to Montana State at Billings last Thursday, dropped SFU into second place in the conference standings, two points behind the Seattle Pacific Falcons.

That means the Clan needed a win or a draw over Western Washington University on Thursday (after The Tri-City News deadline), and a win against Seattle Pacific on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Terry Fox Field in Burnaby to take the conference title. mbartel@tricitynews.com
