$300k for local kids has strings attached Scholarship cash depends on OK for TM pipeline DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A scholarship program with the potential to help dozens of School District 43 students get post-secondary education in engineering, trades, marine sciences and environmental studies is being lauded by the chair of the board of education.

But Judy Shirra, who is also

a Port Coquitlam trustee, says she wishes the scholarships, announced by Kinder Morgan Canada this week, weren’t tied to federal approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Shirra was responding to news that the petroleum pipeline company had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Coquitlam Foundation that would see a $300,000 contribution over 20 years toward annual awards for eligible secondary students in School District 43. see ‘IT WOULD BE’, page 10

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Black’s search for local war stories bears fruit & leads to exhibit at PoMo city hall Exhibit offers info and insight into lives of local vets JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Earlier this year, military historian Guy Black told The Tri-City News he was searching for stories about Port Moody veterans.

It didn’t matter what war they had fought in: the First and Second World Wars, Korea or Afghanistan. Black even called for peacekeepers to step forward and anyone with a defence background who could help him unfurl the past.

Black said it was time Port Moody residents put a face to the names of the local heroes and publicly thank them for their sacrifice.

From The Tri-City News article, four living vets with ties to Port Moody contacted Black.

Families also reached out with tales about their relatives.

Their stories, wartime letters and service photos were enough for Black to organize a show leading up to Remembrance Day at PoMo city hall.

Next week, Peace and Remembrance: A Celebration of Port Moody’s Veterans, will offer insight about vets Edward Hanson, Leslie McCrea, Arthur Kreut, Bill Berrow, Svend

DIANE STRANDBERG PHOTO

JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody military historian Guy Black holds an oil painting titled “Lest We Forget” by 20-year-old Sandra Cervantes and a photograph of Ioco townsite resident Leslie McCrea, who was killed in action on June, 3, 1944 while flying over France — three days before D-Day. The images are part of a new Veterans’ Week Display that Black is organizing at Port Moody city hall (100 Newport Dr.) next week.

Hansen, Jeffrey Becker, John “Chip” Kerr VC, and Hugh, Thomas and Ron Kernighan.

And it will also include artwork from Grade 4 and 5 students at Moody elementary plus paintings by Evelia Espinosa’s students, bringing a youth component into the display.

Black said he was especially pleased to receive a photo of McCrea, whose name is engraved on a bronze plaque on the Ioco townsite.

McCrea and schoolmates

Edward Hanson and Arthur Kreut were in their 20s when they enlisted with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War; three days before D-Day, McCrea was killed while flying over France.

Hanson and Kreut also did not come back.

Black, a former reservist with the Canadian Military Engineers based in North Vancouver and a 20-year Port Moody resident, said he hopes the exhibit will bring more

veterans’ stories to light and his aim is to grow the display each year.

“I really want to expand on this,” Black said. “I don’t want our history to be lost.”

• Peace and Remembrance: A Celebration of Port Moody’s Veterans will run from Nov. 7 to 12 at Port Moody city hall (100 Newport Dr.). To contact Guy Black, email korea19501953@ yahoo.com. jcleugh@tricitynews.com @jcleughTC

Three ceremonies in the Tri-Cities Coquitlam residents can honour veterans this Remembrance Day by painting poppies on the lawn at Blue Mountain Park at the corner of King Albert Avenue and Veterans Way. Participants can add their poppies to the display today (Friday) between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m., tomorrow between 1 and 4 p.m. and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Other opportunities will be held on Monday, Nov. 7 between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. and Nov. 8 to 10 between 1 and 4 p.m.

Residents can also write personal messages on yellow

ribbons that will be tied to trees in Blue Mountain Park and remain there until Nov. 18.

After that, the messages will be transcribed and forwarded to Veterans Affairs Canada.

Blue Mountain Park will also be the site of a Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11.

The service, led by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 264, will start at 9:30 a.m. at Como Lake middle school (1121 King Albert Ave.), followed by a parade at 10:15 a.m. along Winslow Avenue to the cenotaph on Veteran’s Way. The ceremony will begin at 10:45 a.m. and will be followed by a

parade to the Royal Canadian Legion (1025 Ridgeway Ave.) of veterans, police and firefighters.

There are three other official services on that day in the TriCities: • Port Coquitlam Remembrance Day services will begin with a service at Wilson Centre (2150 Wilson Ave.) between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m., followed by a parade to Veterans Park in front of city hall led by the Legion Branch 133. The parade will arrive at the park at 11 a.m. and a ceremony will follow.

• Port Moody will hold its Remembrance Day ceremony hosted by Legion Branch 119

at Kyle Centre at 10 a.m., where a non-denominational service will take place. A parade will then start at 10:30 a.m. from the Kyle Centre parking lot down Larke Street and on to Mary Street before continuing to the corner of Kyle and St. Johns in front of the monument at the PoMo Arts Centre. A wreathlaying ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. and there will be a reception at Kyle Centre following the service.

• Anmore and Belcarra mark the day at 10:35 a.m. at Belcarra Regional Park. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

“The Last Post at the Menin Gate is a ritual performed every night since Nov. 11, 1929. In all weather, in front of thousands or dozens or none, the buglers come to attention at 8 p.m. sharp and sound the first note of ‘The Last Post.’”

Read all of local historian and school principal John Goheen’s article on page 22 FREE TRANSIT FOR VETS ON NOV. 11

Public transit is free for veterans on Remembrance Day. According to TransLink, on Nov. 11, “Ordinary and Life Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans, Korean Veterans Association members, and Armed Forces and Coast Guard can ride for free on any TransLink service. Veterans can simply show their membership card to receive free transportation.”

TransLink said vets and eligible members will not be required to tap their Compass cards but must have their membership cards ready to display or appear in uniform when boarding buses. With buses, SkyTrain and SeaBus services running on a Sunday/holiday schedule, all public transit will observe a moment of silence at 11 a.m., or “at the stop reached closest to the hour.”

As well, on Nov. 10, Mr. Lube locations across Canada — including the franchise, at 2773 Barnet Hwy. in Coquitlam, — will be offering free oil changes to Canadian Armed Forces veterans. Go to www.mrlube.com/veterans for more information.

COLONY FARM

Security measures for psych. hospital Tech upgrades planned for facility built in 1990s SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Security at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam will be beefed up in a three-year project expected to cost nearly $3 million.

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), which manages the Colony Farm facility, announced funding for measures to enhance security measures that will improve safety for patients, staff and the community. The upgrades will include improved fencing, lighting, security cameras and landscaping.

Angela Draude, executive director for Forensic Psychiatric Services, said the changes will begin immediately and will take two to three

years to complete.

Among the benefits of the project announced by PHSA are a greater ability to identify and respond to safety and security incidents and providing around-the-clock surveillance using advanced technology.

“The hospital was built in the early 1990s and these technology upgrades are a refresh to get it up to current standards,” Draude said.

The security measures are also expected to reduce the risk of contraband entering the facility, which Draude said is “common enough” despite the multiple measures already in place, including fencing, lighting, security cameras and staff’s clinical interventions with patients, as well as decrease the risk of escapes.

In February two patients escaped from the hospital in less than a week.

David Fomradas, who carjacked a vehicle driven by a Vancouver actress in 2009

ONLINE ALL THE TIME

and then crashed into the CBC building downtown, walked away in 2012, prompting the hospital to restrict visits and launch an internal review. Fomradas was found in Lethbridge, Alta. about a month after his second unauthorized absence from the Coast Cottages earlier this year.

Violet Miharija also escaped in February from the 190-bed hospital; she was on remand from the Alouette Correctional Centre while awaiting an assessment of whether she was fit to stand trial for non-violent offences. Miharija was arrested in Surrey about three months later.

Overall, escapes from the hospital have declined since 2010, when there were 20 such instances.

Draud said the new security measures will be at the hospital and not at the Coast Cottages, which is not a secure facility.

Handguns, rifles, shotguns, even a WWI mortar shell turned in SAADELDIN BAHR

CRIME

Hearing today for a PoCo imam GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A sentencing hearing for the director of a Port Coquitlam mosque convicted of sexually assaulting a woman is expected to take place today (Friday).

Saadeldin Bahr, who is known in the community as Dr. Saad, was found guilty last summer of charges stemming from an incident at the Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre in June 2013.

According to court documents, Bahr had been counselling a woman, who was married and struggling with depression. Following afternoon prayers, he and the victim went to a room on the upper floor of the mosque where the assault took place.

The court heard that during the assault, Bahr told the victim she had “a bad curse on you and we have to remove it.”

According to the ruling, Bahr suggested that semen found in the victim’s vagina could have come from a toilet seat at the mosque, where he said he had ejaculated earlier in the day.

In his reasons for judgment, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Crawford said Bahr’s version of events lacked credibility.

“I have great difficulty with Dr. Bahr’s evidence,” Crawford said Wednesday during his reasons for judgement.

“Much of what he said is contrary to fastidious cultural procedures.”

He later added: “He did not clean it up immediately? In his own church?”

Bahr is expected to go before Crawford in New Westminster at 10 a.m. today (Friday). The TriCity News will post the results of the hearing at www.tricitynews.com. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

B.C.-wide gun amnesty brings in 40 firearms locally SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Nearly 40 firearms were turned over in the Tri-Cities during an October gun amnesty.

The province-wide event allowed gun owners to turn in unwanted weapons and ammunition — both documented and undocumented — as long as they hadn’t been used in a crime.

Coquitlam RCMP reported 21 files were generated and about 29 guns turned in, including 17 assorted bolt action .22-calibre rifles, six shotguns, five revolvers and one First World War mortar shell from France. Several boxes of shot-

COQUITLAM RCMP PHOTO

A mortar shell dating back to the First World War was among the weapons turned over to Coquitlam RCMP during the province-wide gun amnesty in October. gun shells and other ammunition were also handed over.

RCMP Const. Jamie

Phillipson said many of the people who called to have guns picked up had inherited them

from a family member but didn’t want to keep them in their home.

Most of the guns will be destroyed but some may be kept for educational or training purposes, he added.

Port Moody Police Sgt. Travis Carroll said eight rifles and one pistol were turned in, along with 736 rounds of ammunition.

“Some were older guns, some were non-functioning guns, we had some air rifles turned in,” Carroll said. “We also got a really neat antique double-barrel shotgun but it was damaged and non-functioning, and something the people didn’t need to have in the house.”

Carroll also said that even though the amnesty is over, anybody who wants to turn over unwanted firearms can still do so by contacting police to have officers come and pick them up; under no circumstances should anyone deliver guns or ammunition in person. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Good Samaritan bill goes to Senate Private member’s bill gets unanimous support JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Little more than a year after being elected to the House of Commons, a Tri-City MP will see his private member’s bill head to Canada’s Senate for approval.

On Wednesday, CoquitlamPort Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon watched as every member of Parliament stood up to vote in favour of his Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act. The unanimous third-reading vote now means C-224 will be debated in the Senate 10 months after it was first introduced in Parliament.

“Here it is November and there was no delay. There was no controversy about this bill,” he said from Ottawa Thursday.

McKinnon told The Tri-City News he’s grateful for the crossparty support and, since the bill passed, he has received messages of congratulations from constituents as well as handshakes from MPs of all

MP RON MCKINNON government levels.

It is believed Senator Larry Campbell — a former Vancouver mayor and coroner — will sponsor C-224 as it passes through the Senate (a request for comment from Campbell was not returned).

The proposed act means people who call 911 to report a drug overdose won’t be charged for drug possession offences in relation to the incident; the exemption would not apply to offences such as trafficking or driving while impaired.

This year, McKinnon’s office launched a social media campaign to boost the bill, showing video testimony from Tri-City leaders as well as doctors and families who had lost children

to drug overdoses. Among the endorsements were from B.C. health officer Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.’s chief coroner, Lisa Lapointe, the union representing Coquitlam firefighters, Port Moody Police Chief Const.

Chris Rattenbury and Port Coquitlam city council.

At third reading debate last Friday, McKinnon stated he “did not expect… the groundswell of support that came out shortly after the bill’s first reading. Groups and individuals from every part of Canada called and emailed telling me how much this legislation is needed. I thank them for that.

That support motivated me even more to make sure this bill becomes law.”

• Meanwhile, McKinnon will be at Coquitlam’s Douglas College campus on Thursday, Nov. 10 to talk about the economy and next federal budget.

Feedback from the 90-minute session will be forwarded by McKinnon to federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau. The event starts at 7 p.m. in Room A2050 at the David Lam Campus (1250 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). To save a seat, email ron.mckinnon. c1a@parl.gc.ca.

Residents and Ministry of Transportation officials gathered at an open house Wednesday at Maillard middle school that rolled out options for the traffic-clogged Brunette interchange.

TRANSPORTATION

Expensive options for Brunette’s future Alternatives are considered to alleviate traffic DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A crowd of Coquitlam and New Westminster residents turned out Wednesday for the first open house on a proposed rebuild for the traffic-clogged Brunette interchange.

But no clear choice appeared to emerge as people clustered around displays showing three options that would cost between $510 million and $620 million.

“None of them are any good,” said one local resident who expressed concerns about traffic lights for proposed intersections, which he feared would slow traffic.

But reducing travel time is one of the key goals of the Ministry of Transportation’s infrastructure improvement project, which is supposed to cut congestion and improve safety along the route that is a major connection between Coquitlam and New Westminster.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the Brunette interchange is one of the city’s most “critical transportation challenges” but he wasn’t prepared to say which option he preferred as the latest maps provided by the ministry contained new details that could have a big impact on Coquitlam.

“Our engineers have serious concerns about a number of the options and I expect our residents would as well,” he told The Tri-City News.

Still, Stewart said it’s about time consideration is being given to improving the interchange, which at times becomes so blocked that emergency vehicles and patients can’t get to Royal Columbian Hospital, which is slated for expansion.

“That’s our main connection for the northeast sector to get to… Royal Columbian and other government services that are in New Westminster. It really needs to have the capacity,” Stewart said, noting that the population of the region has quadrupled in the decades since the road network was built.

Although the options vary in terms of the types of infrastructure and their loca-

tion, all three turn Brunette Avenue into a direct connection between New West and Coquitlam while diverting regional traffic along an extended Blue Mountain Street.

Alternatives to the United Boulevard/Braid Street connection between the two cities over a bailey bridge and railway crossings are also proposed in the three options.

Stewart said he is pleased to see that some effort has gone into replacing the dangerous bottleneck. “United Boulevard is part of a very long roadway connection that runs four lanes between UBC and Mission except for the bailey bridge,” Stewart said. “We really need to re-connect that east-west goods movement corridor that United Boulevard is designed to be. Unless we do, it just won’t work.”

The mayor admitted the three options will require more study and, possibly, additional open houses so people understand the impact.

PORT COQUITLAM

‘Livability’ focus includes economic dev’t, affordability An illustration of Port Coquitlam’s planned community recreation complex, which will replace the PoCo rec complex. A report covering cost and timing of the project will be released at the city council meeting on Nov. 4.

PoCo looking at KFN plans, plans for rec complex JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam has rejigged its corporate priorities to include a mandate to make the city more “livable.”

Last week, at the city’s budget and infrastructure committee, council voted to add the new focus to give managers a better direction as they prepare 2017 and ‘18 work plans.

Adding “livable” to the city’s two other strategic priorities — infrastructure and the new community recreation complex — means council and staff will narrow their lens on such topics as affordability, the arts, the environment, economic development and transportation, for example.

But the definition of “livable” also will include how the city will handle its surplus lands in the future as well as a goal to build relationships with the Kwikwetlem First Nation (KFN).

On Thursday, Mayor Greg Moore told The Tri-City News he has met with KFN Chief Ron Giesbrecht several times this year to talk about the upcoming development on its reserve, which is located within the city boundaries (the city is working on a servicing agreement to provide utilities and other infrastructure to the KFN site).

He said they have also talked about KFN’s land claim in Port Coquitlam — namely, on Gates Park and a 15-acre parcel known as the South Shaughnessy Lands, the city’s biggest land holding close to the Pitt River Road intersection.

KFN’s land claim against PoCo was launched in B.C. Supreme Court in February in conjunction with territorial title claims for the Riverview Hospital grounds and Colony Farm regional park, both in Coquitlam.

Mayor Moore told The TriCity News his negotiations with Chief Giesbrecht have been “a work in progress. We are still talking. Nobody has gone back to the court process.”

The city’s chief administrative officer, John Leeburn, also confirmed the municipality has yet to file a response to the KFN land claim.

Moore and Leeburn stressed the inclusion of the KFN within the city’s new “livable” mandate was not connected to the land claims. “[KFN] are in the process of wanting to develop their lands and so that’s a good thing for Port Coquitlam because what-

MAYOR GREG MOORE ever they do there… then that’s a whole lot of potential jobs for Port Coquitlam residents,” Leeburn said, adding, “Being good neighbours going forward is important.”

Moore also denied that any potential sale of municipally owned lands would be used to finance the city’s second strategic priority: the new community recreation centre, a replacement for the PoCo recreation complex.

Moore said a full report about the new rec centre — including expenses, revenues and timing — will be released at the Nov. 14 city council meeting.

“I appreciate the patience of the community because it’s one of our biggest infrastructure projects that we’re going build in decades and there’s a lot of detail to be negotiated with the builder, and that’s what we’ve been working very hard on,” he said.

He added: “We think we’ve come up with a funding strategy that allows us to build a facility that the community has been asking for but, at the same time, respects the mandate that we’ve had to keep taxes as low as possible.”

Leeburn added the projected price and the funding options would be drilled down next month as council prepares its 2017 draft budget.

The budget and infrastructure committee is set to meet Dec. 5 and 6 to discuss the financial plan.

Little has been revealed about the new community rec complex since May, when the city announced Burnabybased Ventana Construction — the same company that built the Langley Events Centre and the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack— would work with Quantum Properties and Architecture 49 to get the complex built.

The 15-acre downtown parcel will also include housing and commercial space.

Last summer, as the federal government announced $12.5 million in funding for the project, the city estimated the new rec complex would cost around $96.8 million. jcleugh@tricitynews.com @jcleughTC

Coquitlam Remembers FILE PHOTO

The proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion has been controversial, drawing opposition from many local governments and environmentalists.

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

‘It would be nice without the strings’ continued from front page

The awards would be for studies at BCIT, Douglas College, the Justice Institute and another recognized postsecondary institute, and is a community benefit for cities, like Coquitlam, that would be affected by pipeline construction.

But the SD43 board chair said she’s disappointed pipeline approval is required before the fund is initiated because post-secondary education is expensive and families are struggling to pay.

“Anybody that’s contributing to the children’s education it’s wonderful,” Shirra told The Tri-City News. “It would be nice if it was without strings.

If it doesn’t get approved and the money’s not there, it’s not a scholarship, is it?”

Shirra said if the scholarship money does became available, the school district wouldn’t turn it down because it’s in the best interests of students and the scholarships would be for programs such as environmental sciences and engineering, which are in high demand.

A spokesperson for Trans Mountain said the funds are to compensate Coquitlam for disruption during pipeline con-

POCO TRUSTEE JUDY SHIRRA struction if it is to go ahead.

“What we’ve done is while we recognize we’ve got a largescale project going through communities, we recognize there’s going to be disruption, we are keeping that to a minimum as much as we can, we are going to restore to the state they were in or better,” said Lizette Parsons Bell, noting there could be disruption such as traffic in the city along the proposed pipeline route.

She pointed out that the city of Coquitlam has also signed a memorandum of understanding for its community benefit — a million-dollar upgrade to Mackin Park that is also based on the pipeline being approved.

She said the company is announcing community benefit

agreements before approval — the federal government has to make a decision before Dec. 19 — to show that the company is giving back, and it also has a foundation that provides grants to organizations benefitting youth in Grades 8 to 12 that is not tied to the pipeline approval.

If the pipeline is approved and the agreements are pursued, the Coquitlam Foundation would oversee the fund for the eight Trans Mountain Pipeline Awards for SD43 students. Janet Toddington, who chairs the foundation board, said the memorandum was voted on by the board and is not an endorsement of the pipeline project.

“We are not supporting or opposing the project. But we feel that if there’s a benefit to the community, we will accept that endowment from that organization,” Toddington said.

If approved, the $6.8-billion pipeline expansion would triple the capacity of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which carries diluted bitumen from oil sands near Edmonton to Burnaby for export, requiring a seven-fold increase in tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

OUR OPINION

International cash is clearly needed

A

pproximately 1,800 kids attending School District 43 classes this year will be foreign students who pay a $14,000 annual fee to attend.

They do so because their parents recognize good value when they see it as SD43 has one of the highest achievement rates in the province.

The argument for enticing international students goes like this: SD43 students benefit from rubbing shoulders with peers from other countries and will therefore be better prepared to deal with global economies.

This is debatable but SD43 does rake in millions of dollars from international education to enrich the budget bottom line and make up for the fact that the district remains one of the lowest funded in the province on a per-pupil basis.

But we can’t help but wonder if this approach simply feeds the government position that the district is doing just fine and a better funding formula isn’t needed to make the rules more fair.

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

n this space, I talk about my children a lot. One of my favourite running gags is to mention some fool thing I’ve considered doing — for example, making my children sleep under the steps in a cardboard box — and then talking about having a pleasant chat with social services the next day.

To be clear, I’ve never actually considered making my kids sleep outside in a box, and I’ve never worried about the government coming to my home and taking my children away. Why would I worry?

For generations of Canadians, however, having their children taken away wasn’t just a threat, it was a certainty. The fact that I have two boys of my own is why the heartbreaking story of Chanie Wenjack hit me hard.

At the root of the story is a horrible truth about our country that eats away at the core of who we are: For more than 100 years, the residential school system sponsored by the Canadian government quite literally stole away the children of First Nations families.

What more heinous act could there be than to take the children away from an entire population?

Chanie Wenjack was one of those children. He was

TC

taken from his father by armed officials and sent to a residential school hundreds of kilometres away. In 1966, Wenjack, at age 12, died while trying to walk home, driven by a desire to escape the horrors of his school and to see his family and dogs again. He was found beside a railway line, frozen.

The story eventually caused a stir in Canada when an article in Maclean’s magazine poignantly described Wenjack’s plight and the aftermath, including an inquest that posed what was, at the time, an unprecedented question about the residential school system: “Is it right?”

The answer, an obvious one now, was No. It was not right. Yet residential schools existed for another generation, the last one closing in 1996.

Of course, Wenjack was not the only one to face that fate — thousands of children died under the state’s watch and countless more were abused. The schools may be closed, yet the rift continues today.

But the story of Chanie Wenjack is as powerful and important today as it was 50 years ago. It’s little wonder that works of art commemorating his death — includ-

ing Joseph Boyden’s novella Wenjack and the Gord Downie-driven album, graphic novel and CBC television special Secret Path — are generating such a huge public response. Boyden’s sparse words, Downie’s haunting wails — it all brings the story back to life in a way that reports and statistics never can. The response that these works have received gives hope that maybe this is a pivotal moment for our country.

So what should happen now? These stories must be told, again and again. If you haven’t seen Secret Path, watch it now — it’s available for free on the CBC website. Watch it with your children. Talk about it.

Find Boyden’s work — it packs a powerful punch for a pocket-sized book you can read in an hour or two.

There are many things that are great about Canada but this is one thing we got horribly wrong. It is us, though. It is part of who we are.

I hope that for those who still feel powerless and alone, this will be the start of something positive. And for those who have power, who possess the means and resources to help heal this country: What are you waiting for?

THE FUTURE OF RIVERVIEW

DEVELOPMENT

The Editor, Re. “Appalled at province’s plan for Riverview Hospital site” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 28).

I recently read the letter to the editor submitted by Helen MacIsaac, a registered psychologist who previously worked at Riverview Hospital. I was horrified to read that years after the closing of Riverview, she continues to recognize many of the haunted faces on the Downtown Eastside as those belonging to the vulnerable people who were cast out of Riverview. These residents were carelessly tossed aside where they have become trapped and further marginalized within the poorest neighbourhood in Canada.

How sad that we have allowed callous cost recovery to take precedence over our obligation as human beings to look after one another. Thanks to current policy, these people

The Editor, Re. “Oakdale area fights changes that come with Evergreen” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 28).

It is good to see the people of Burquitlam speaking out in your paper about the big “D” — the densification of their community.

It is more surprising that they now finally have the ear of our city council.

The good people of this nice family area know they will soon be bathed in shadows and crushed by traffic, with added costs that come from greater density. I have coffee with buddies who lived in Burnaby and one of them moved here recently and is very glad to get away from the Brentwood area.

One of the time-tested ways of the city moving forward is to create community task committees. This gives counsellors something important to do along with staffers. Residents take a look at various issues and provide recommendations.

This is all good stuff and hope-

no longer have access to much needed mental health care, the security of a clean, safe haven during recovery or hope of regaining control over their future. They no longer meditate in the tranquility of Finnie’s Garden or wander amongst the powerful healing presence of one of the most spectacular open-grown arboretums in North America.

Indeed, Riverview has been forced to endure the same intentional neglect to which its former residents have been so cruelly subjected. The historical buildings and majestic grounds of Riverview have been left to crumble and rot as greedy minds conjure visions of clear-cuts, cold hard cash and concrete.

The Kwikwetlem First Nation has also laid claim to the Riverview lands, adding yet another layer of complexity to this issue. This claim is not being laid with the goal to conserve and protect this

ecologically and esthetically valuable land, but with an eye to maximize economic return. Do the Kwikwetlem have a rightful claim to the Riverview lands? Quite possibly, although the courts will ultimately decide.

In either case, the fate of the Riverview lands lies in the hands of the BC Liberal government. Provincial officials must lay the foundation for respectful and equitable government-togovernment negotiations to retain the Riverview lands in anticipation of validation of the Kwikwetlem First Nation’s claim. If the claim is not validated, then the unwavering call by Tri-Cities residents to revitalize mental health facilities at Riverview while protecting the irreplaceable green space must be heeded.

Anything less will demand a hefty political price tag.

Nancy H. Furness, Port Coquitlam

BQ ‘bathed in shadows and crushed by traffic’ An illustration of the Burquitlam station on the Evergreen Extension, which is supposed to open before Christmas. fully should provide clear direction for council.

Now let’s take a look at a huge cost example that has gone sideways. How about Tsawwassen. Now you may say, “That’s not our problem” but it is another driving force that is connected to a $4-billion dollar bridge cost that you and I will pay in tax dollars that should go to health care and education.

We already have paid in the massive loss of farm land regardless of ownership and now more crazy traffic conflicts.

We are caught in a time warp by thousands of cars and governments that have no foresight to see that the only answer is rapid transit and no more 10-lane toll highways. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore spoke against this massive bridge plan but it seems now to be a done deal.

I expect there will be bankrupt businesses before all the condos reach for the sky and a new dedicated detour road to the ferry is built.

THE COURTS

Anmore residents sue village, developer Water runoff is at the root of suit in BC Supreme Court SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Two Anmore property owners are suing the village and a developer, claiming water runoff from a subdivision built 10 years ago has been flowing through their land.

In a statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver late last month, Constance Bedard and Alyn Edwards state the drainage infrastructure has and continues to divert substantial amounts of water on to their properties, effectively creating a creek that didn’t exist before. They’re concerned that the new watercourse will prevent them from being able to subdivide their own properties in the future.

“I don’t know how the village of Anmore could have allowed this to happen,” said Calvin Bedard, Constance’s son. “I’m in the construction business and if we divert water

in any way on to anyone’s property, there would be hell to pay.”

The Bedard property is at the corner of Sunnyside Road and Summerwood Lane.

Water flows down both ends of Summerwood to a low point, where it has been directed through a culvert under and across the road into a large settlement pond on the Bedard’s property. From there, a gushing creek flows down on to the Edwards property.

The claims have not been proven in court and no statement of defence has been filed yet.

Bedard said the family has no record of granting the developer, Kina Estates Inc., permission to divert the water on to his parents’ property. The pond and creek are located in a forested area at the back of their property and nobody had been there in many years.

“When we were kids, the property was our playground,” Bedard said. “There was never any streams, creeks or watercourses running through our property.”

They discovered the water-

course earlier this year as they began cleaning up the property so that his mother could sell it.

Edwards, who has owned the raw land property since 1989, had no idea there was a creek running through his land until he was notified by the Bedards in January.

“I’m absolutely shocked,” Edwards said. “Nobody contacted me. I had no idea this was being done or would be done.”

Edwards said that as a Belcarra resident with a creek on his property in that village,

he knows well the ramifications of having a watercourse on his Anmore land should he consider subdividing it and wants to know where the permits are for the work that was done.

Both property owners say they’re frustrated with the village’s response to their concerns.

Bedard’s parents lived in Anmore from the late 1940s, and raised their family in their Sunnyside home from the early ’50s.

“I am shocked at the way

my mother is being treated by the village of Anmore,” Bedard said. “She and my father paid their taxes every year without complaint. Seems to me they care more about developers than their seniors.”

Edwards said they’ve been unable to get any meaningful response from the village and it was only after requests from their lawyer that the developer said he had permission from Willie Bedard to build the pond — though nobody has shown them the documents to prove it. (Willie Bedard died in 2012.)

Even if that’s the case, Edwards said, he never gave permission for a watercourse on his property.

Their lawsuit states that Anmore and the developer have refused to remove the drainage infrastructure, sediment pond or run-off stream.

They’re asking for damages for the interference to their properties, trespass, nuisance and loss of or potential loss of profit on the resale value of their properties. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

REAL ESTATE

Foreign buyers tax pushes down Greater Van. prices KATYA SLEPIAN BLACK PRESS

Government actions such as B.C.’s new foreign buyers tax put more downward pressure on property prices in the Lower Mainland.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) showed a 1.4% decrease in the benchmark price of detached homes compared to October of last year, down to $1,545,800 from $1,567,500.

Townhome prices in the Metro Vancouver also showed a drop — down to $669,200 from $676,300.

Cheaper properties didn’t help shift houses, either. New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled just 3,981 in October — a 17% decrease compared to September when 4,799 properties were listed.

“Changing market conditions compounded by a series

HARSHIL SHAH/FLICKR

The B.C. government’s new foreign buyers tax is affecting Lower Mainland real estate markets. of government interventions this year have put home buyers and sellers in a holding pattern,” said REBGV president Dan Morrison.

The provincial government introduced a 15% tax on property purchased by foreign buyers in Metro Vancouver on Aug. 2, in a bid to discourage

investment by non-resident foreign nationals or corporations they control.

But real estate prices are still up compared to October last year. Detached homes are up 28.9% in the REBGV area, which covers much of Metro Vancouver but excludes Surrey, White Rock, Langley

and North Delta. Townhomes are up 25.7% and apartments are up 20.5%.

The same slump wasn’t reported by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which covers areas not subject to the foreign buyers tax such as Abbotsford and Mission, as well as parts of eastern Metro Vancouver where it does apply, such as Surrey.

Detached homes showed a 0.7% decrease in price from $878,100 to $872,100 but townhomes showed a 0.5% increase (from $419,300 to $421,300) and apartment prices rose by 1.7% (from $250,00 to $254,300) as well.

Compared to last year, FVREB benchmark prices are up 34.3% for detached homes and townhomes while it was up 25.2% for apartments.

Sale numbers in the Fraser Valley peaked slightly above the 10 year historical average for October.

AIR BNB

Airbnb pledges to address renters’ discrimination issues KATYA SLEPIAN BLACK PRESS

The online vacation rental broker Airbnb is taking steps to reduce discriminatory rental practices.

The company introduced a “community commitment,” which states that users of the service agree to treat protected classes, which include race, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity without judgement or bias. B.C.’s Human Rights Code states similar protected classes.

C.J. Rowe, the executive director of Qmunity, a Vancouver-based non-profit that works to improve life in queer, trans and two-spirit communities, views it as a positive first step.

“I think the clearer we can be with intentions and explicit policy, the stronger a company like Airbnb can be in terms of the next steps,” said Rowe.

The community commitment comes on the heels of numerous stories of discriminatory renting practices by Airbnb hosts in cities like Texas and Edmonton where hosts were accused of refusing service to racial minorities and LGBT renters.

While Rowe’s friends haven’t experienced examples of Airbnb host discrimination, there’s likely a reason — decades of having to look after themselves in a world that hasn’t always been friendly.

“I think there’s a lot of us in queer, trans and two-spirit

communities that do a bit of investigation and look at postings that are queer, trans and two-spirit friendly,” said Rowe, noting that there’s hope that the gay community will one day no longer have to do that. “Wouldn’t it be better if everyone knew how to enact respectful businesses?”

Rowe is interested to see what Airbnb does to make the community commitment stick, noting that organizations such as Qmunity already engage in education and training in queer competency.

“I would love to see them engage with an educational campaign. I often see community commitments the same as when you download the new update for iTunes and you click ‘agree’ without reading it.”

This isn’t the only issue Airbnb has run into lately. The company has been criticized for flooding the market with short-term rentals, causing a shortage in long-term ones.

Vancouver apartment vacancy rates dropped to 0.8% last year, spurring Coun. Geoff Meggs to expand and accelerate a study already underway by city staff on the effect Airbnb and similar websites are having on the supply of rental housing.

Airbnb’s public policy manager, Alex Dagg, pledged to work with communities to reduce his company’s negative impact on rental markets.

But Airbnb argues that it has been good for the economy,

saying the money hosts make from renting out their properties helps local economies.

An economic impact study

by University of Victoria business professor Brock Smith for Airbnb found that the 267,000

Airbnb guests who stayed in Vancouver in the 12 months ending on Aug. 31 spent close to $180,000 at local businesses and generated more than $400,000 in indirect economic activity.

Bats are beneficial to humans, yet remain misunderstood, according to Burke Mountain Naturalists, who will present a slideshow about bats at Colony Farm Park at their Nov. 8 meeting in Coquitlam.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Bats & BMN Tuesday For many years, members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists have been monitoring local bat populations.

One of the best known local roosting sites for bats is in and around the historic buildings at Colony Farm Regional Park.

In the summer of 2015, according to a BMN press release, its volunteers counted about 500 bats flying out of an attic at dusk to spend the night hunting mosquitoes and other insects. But surveys last June revealed only five bats exiting the same attic.

It was thought that preda-

tors like raccoons and mink had found ways into the attic and had frightened off the bats.

Fears for the population’s welfare were calmed when the 500 bats were located a month later in several large bat boxes that BMN had installed years ago in the park that had only ever seen limited use.

The story of losing and then finding the bats, and the plans for their future, is the topic of next Tuesday’s meeting of the Burke Mountain Naturalists.

BMN member John Saremba will give a slide presentation entitled “Going

to Bat for Our Special Flying Friends!” He will share insights regarding this ecologically significant wildlife species along with information about the BMN bat monitoring team’s efforts to protect them.

The Nov. 8 meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the hall of Como Lake United Church, located on the corner of Marmont Street and King Albert Avenue in Coquitlam.

Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no charge.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Antoine Verschoot’s last ‘Last Post’ in Ypres Coq. principal John Goheen on Ypres, where every day is Remembrance Day IEPER (YPRES), BELGIUM 12 DECEMBER 2015 t’s 7:30 p.m. and the Belgian policeman’s whistle pierces the cold, dark December night in Flanders. Traffic is halted and even the impatient and shivering teenager on the motorcycle will have to wait.

The audience that started arriving well over an hour ago now numbers in the thousands.

Most evenings, the size of the audience at the Last Post Ceremony at Ypres’ Menin Gate is impressive, but this is no ordinary night.

This is Antoine Verschoot’s last night. He will play his last “Last Post.”

I doubt Antoine imagined that when he started playing at this ceremony in 1954, he would do so most nights for the next 61 years. In that time, he has played for royalty, prime ministers and presidents as well as many thousands of pilgrims who come to this town and this ceremony from every corner of the globe year round to remember.

Now, at age 90, Antoine is the most senior member of the small corps of buglers from the Ypres Volunteer Fire Brigade who perform this daily ritual; tonight, after playing more than 15,000 performances, Antoine will sound his last note but the ceremony will go on.

The Last Post at the Menin Gate is a ritual performed every night since Nov. 11, 1929. In all weather, in front of thousands or dozens or none, the buglers come to attention at 8 p.m. sharp and sound the first note of “The Last Post.” The only exception to this devoted tribute was during the Second World War, when the Nazis occupied Ypres and would not permit the ceremony. But the very evening of the day Ypres was liberated in September 1944, the buglers returned and have played every night ever since.

Antoine’s longevity is remarkable but the real significance of his final ceremony is simply that another bugler will take his place tomorrow night and become part of the long line of succession that perpetuates this ritual of remembrance. Despite the passage of time, locals will tell you, “We never forget.”

Sadly, far too many in Canada have.

For Canadians, Ypres was once a well-known place name.

Situated in the heart of the Flanders region of Belgium, the city and Canada were forever linked during the Great War when Canadian soldiers fought and died in numerous battles in the area in 1915, ’16, and ’17. Known as “Wipers” by the soldiers, the town was never far from the frontline.

My grandfather was one of those who knew “Wipers” until wounded in 1916. His war lasted just weeks but his

Ypres area alone. Some still lie in the now green fields and occasionally their remains are found; others simply vanished for all time in the fire of war.

Included among the rolls of the missing are 6,940 Canadians killed in the savage fighting here between 1915 and 1917. Almost 10,000 more of their comrades are buried in numerous cemeteries that mark the battlegrounds of the old Ypres Salient — St. Julian, Gravenstafel Ridge, St. Eloi, Hill 62 and, worst of all, Passchendaele — names that are forever linked to Canada’s sacrifice.

Soon, Antoine’s part in this incredible ritual will be history but he retires knowing that Remembrance is renewed nightly at the Menin Gate. In Ypres, every day is Remembrance Day.

wounds would cause pain and suffering for the rest of his days.

Through the town’s eastern gate, known as the Menin Road Gate, marched tens of thousands of soldiers of the British Empire, including Canadians, on their way to the front just a few kilometres away. For much of the war, the British front line in this area extended, fingerlike, as a bulge or salient into German occupied territory; the Ypres Salient was always under enemy fire and observation at all times, and was considered the most heavily shelled place on earth by 1917.

By war’s end, Ypres was little more than rubble. Every building save the old post office was destroyed or damaged. Today, the town stands rebuilt and, to the unaware, appears centuries

On the site of the town’s old east gate, the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing was erected. The memorial is an immense arch that lists the names of 55,399 soldiers of the armies of the British Empire, all killed within a modern day 10-minute drive from here. Their bodies were never found. As the memorial explains: “Here are recorded names of officers and men who fell in Ypres Salient but to whom the fortune of war denied the known and honoured burial given to their comrades in death.”

They are the “missing.” In fact, there are over 100,000 British Empire soldiers missing in the

T

he passage of time has distanced our thoughts and memories of the horrific and deadly conflict that engulfed the world more than a hundred years ago.

The Great War, as it was once called, now known as the First World War, began in 1914 with a fervour of patriotism to enlist and aid in defence of the British Empire. Young men left their families and loved ones behind, to heed the call of battle in far-off lands, to kill or be killed for King and Empire.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me…

Expeditionary Force in December 1915. He had spent the previous two years as minister of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian church on Dewdney Trunk Road in newly incorporated Port Coquitlam.

His congregation knew him as a kind and sensitive soul, strong in his conviction and duty as a man of the cloth, and were thus surprised when he left to enlist as a fighting soldier overseas.

Where is death’s sting, where grave, thy victory I triumph still, if Thou abide with me…

WALTER RAYNES

Private Walter Raynes participated in several major battles during his 18 months

on the Western Front, facing death with his fellow comrades as they charged forward from their trenches to face the enemy. In his last letter home, he told of feeling no high moral heroism in going “over the top” into the teeth of the enemy, than to do the thing that was right day after day back home in Port Coquitlam, where he hoped to return after the war, back to his parish.

Ironically, he was about to receive his commission as an army chaplain when he was killed by a sniper’s bullet while in the trenches at Passchendaele on Oct. 30, 1917.

Walter Raynes was one of more than 8,000 Canadians killed or wounded during three weeks of deadly fighting in the mud and horror of Passchendaele, part of a bitter and costly war that would drag on for another year and cost more than 60,000 Canadian lives.

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

FALL SPECIALS

he Coquitlam branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was founded in the early 1960s when fifteen WWII Army, Air Force and Navy veterans got together in a dilapidated Knights of the Columbus building with a vision of starting a Legion branch in their community. With only determination, energy, and imagination, they built the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 263.

No longer just open to veterans and members of the military, today the Legion offers entertainment, crib nights, snooker nights, and even Music Bingo.

“What people don’t realize,” says Bob Chapman the Legion’s First Vice President, “is that we’re much more than a veteran’s club, or a place for older guys to hang out and drink cheap beer. There’s something going on here every day of the week. We have live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays and a great kitchen.”

The live entertainment is popular with people who love to dance but don’t want the bother of going downtown to a club or bar.

“We have music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s,” Bob says, “We have country and

western and just about any type of music you want to hear. We switch up the genres every week.”

Due to government regulations, the Legion depends on liquor sales to survive.

“We’re trying to work with the government to change that, but right now we want to reach out to the community to let them know that we’re here and that we welcome everybody.”

Annual membership is always an option at a reasonable price, but you can also just drop in and sample the entertainment by signing in as a guest.

“You’ll be surprised at how much fun you can have here,” laughs Bob. “Come and check us out.”

For further information on the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 263, call 604.937.3863, stop by 1025 Ridgeway Avenue, Coquitlam, email branch@ rclegion263.ca or visit the website at rclegion263.ca. The Royal Canadian Legion can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

Evolve: the growth of affordable sophistication

E

VOLVE is set to become a landmark in Surrey City Centre.

The stylish 35-storey high-rise, nestled in the pedestrian-friendly master planned community of West Village, is already setting a new standard in the revitalization of the city centre.

WestStone Group’s EVOLVE is an exclusive collection of 407 concrete studio, one to two bedroom and two bedroom plus den open-concept homes.

“Combining stylish interior design with the ultimate in functionality, the

homes at EVOLVE Condominiums in the heart of Surrey City Centre are truly remarkable,” says Agnes Cheung, marketing manager for Macdonald Realty Platinum Project Marketing, adding 80 per cent of the homes are sold. “Seldom in Vancouver will you be able to buy a million-dollar view for $211,900, but that’s just what buyers can get at Evolve.”

Within minutes of the Civic Plaza, City Hall, the library, Simon Fraser and Kwantlen Polytechnic Universities, Central City Mall and SkyTrain, EVOLVE still has several homes priced

below $250,000 – arguably making it the best and most attractively priced new concrete high rise in the province.

The residences, ranging from 316 to 1,294 square feet, feature spacious balconies offering sweeping views of the North Shore mountains, the Fraser River, Vancouver’s cityscapes and ample green space.

EVOLVE is the second of six towers to be built in West Village by WestStone Group. When West Village is fully developed, it will truly encompass work, live and play in one of the most exciting emerging city centres. The

Ewart will don red & white Talons take silver Coquitlam golfer selected to join Team Canada

Coquitlam golfer A.J. Ewart has been chosen to compete for Team Canada.

A group of young men and women were recently selected to represent the Canadian national and development teams. The teams are comprised of 16 elite junior golfers, and 17-year-old Ewart was among them.

Ewart is the lone return-

ing member to the men’s development squad in 2017, following a season that featured runner-up finishes at the B.C. Junior and Amateur Boys Championships. The Pitt Meadows Golf Club member tied for 14th among Canadian junior boys.

In 2015, Ewart garnered a runner-up finish at the CN Future Links Prairie Championship alongside a win at the B.C. Juvenile Championships.

Some highlights of his career include: • A second-place finish at

Ewart had a remarkable season on the CJGA circuit in 2013, winning a total of five events.

A.J. Ewart has been chosen to play for Team Canada.

The Gleneagle Talons women’s field hockey team’s winning streak came to a disappointing end on Sunday when the club fell to South Delta secondary in the championship game of the Fraser Valley playoffs.

Despite dominating the play for most of the match, some penalty trouble early in the game cost the Coquitlam club, who fell 2-1 in a game that was a rematch of last year’s finals.

Gleneagle started off the tournament in good position.

They shutout Panorama Ridge secondary 4-0, before defeating Sullivan Heights sec-

ondary 4-1 in the semifinals.

Last week’s loss is the first time the team has lost all year, after finishing up the regular season with a perfect record followed by a 4-2 victory over Dr. Charles Best secondary in the district championships.

It is the 15th district title for the Talons since they program was launched 20 years ago.

However, the season is not over for the Gleneagle team.

They are currently preparing for the AAA provincial championship, which will be hosted

by Tamanawis secondary between Nov. 9 and 11.

The Terry Fox Ravens AAAA girls’ volleyball team will head into the playoffs with a perfect 6-0 record.

The club defeated Gleneagle last week in three straight sets (25-8, 25-17, 25-21) to hang on to their perfect season and the top spot in the district.

Right behind the Ravens is rival Port Coquitlam school the Riverside Rapids, which defeated Pinetree last week 3-0 (25-13, 25-7, 25-11) and is now currently in second place in the district.

Both teams will compete in the annual Red Serge Classic, the senior girls volleyball tournament, which gets underway at Riverside secondary this weekend.

The Rapids and the Ravens will get a chance to square off against top clubs from across the Lower Mainland, including AAAA No. 2 ranked club Handsworth secondary and AAA No. 1 ranked club Brooks secondary.

Games begin on Friday at 12:45 with the championship final set for 5:45 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.

MARSHALL, Sheila Grace (neé Mussenden) Died at home on October 15, 2016, surrounded by loved ones. She was 63 years old. She will be missed by her children, Jennifer McGarrigle and Andrew Marshall, her sonin-law Mason McGarrigle, her granddaughter Cynthia Marshall, her parents, Ray and June Mussenden, her siblings, Julie and Peter Mussenden, as well as extended family, friends, colleagues and former students. Born and raised in Vancouver, Sheila obtained a BSc in Agriculture from the University of British Columbia, a Diploma in Education from the University of Victoria and a Masters of Education from the University of Oregon.

She started her teaching career in various schools in Ontario and Alberta before moving to Port Coquitlam, where she started a family and became an influential and devoted science teacher at Terry Fox Secondary School. While at Terry Fox, she developed the Science Co-op program, a unique, experimental learning program that is now modelled in other schools across the district. Sheila’s enthusiastic teaching style meant that many of her former students kept in touch long after they graduated high school. After all, who forgets the teacher who blew stuff up in the lab? Sheila’s hands were never still, and she wrapped her family in handmade, crocheted blankets. Along with her many craft interests, she enjoyed boating, skiing, golfing, swimming, travelling, hiking, cycling, reading and, most of all, spending time with family. Some of her favorite memories were made during trips to the family cabins at Shuswap Lake, Green Lake and Whistler. Sheila loved animals, especially dogs, and was the proud mom to a succession of pets, most recently her longtime companion, Buddy.

A Celebration of Life is being held for Sheila on Saturday, November 12 at Science World at 1455 Quebec Street, Vancouver from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, Sheila’s family would appreciate a donation to the BC Cancer Agency in her memory.

SHOLUND, G. Alvin November 3, 1919 − October 23, 2016 RUTH, Marilyn February 7, 1939 − October 22, 2016 Grandma, or Marlene as she was often referred, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2016. She is survived by her husband of 55 years (October 7, 1961), Joseph; sons Raymond (Jill) and Richard, daughter in−law Pammila and daughter Lorena− Marie; 5 grandsons: the oldest William (fiancé Jaclyn), Lucas (Sabrina), Quinton, Logan and the youngest Alexander as well as numerous nieces and nephews, in−laws and family friends.

Marilyn LOVED her family, a true Matriarch of the ’Clan’. Very proud of her long Scottish lineage, she held dear many of the traditions (yes, even haggis).

Born in Revelstoke to Murdoch and Mary Grahame on February 7, 1939, almost 16 years after her two half−brothers (Walter and Jack). She worked at St. Paul’s Hospital payroll office until meeting Joe. In 1973 she started the "Ruth Family Day Care" which she loved and ran for 35 years (over 200 children).

She looked forward to her Weekly Dates with Grandpa. Tuesdays were dinner out, usually at the Casino and Saturdays were bingo with Antoinette and the many Bingo Buddies.

A Wake/Open House/Celebration of Life will be held at their home in Coquitlam on November 13th, from noon to 7PM. Please contact the family at ruthfamilyopenhouse@gmail.com for details. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation was her wish.

A very special thanks to the Eagle Ridge and Royal Columbia hospitals, their Doctors, Nurses and Staff.

Thank you!

SMITH, Diane Frances September 1, 1937 - September 29, 2016 Diane passed away peacefully at the Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody on September 29, 2016 after being diagnosed with brain cancer in July.

Diane will be fondly remembered and sorrowfully missed by her children Robert McKenzie, Heather Arkley, Arlie Picton, Brian & Ian Smith, as well as her numerous friends and extended family living throughout the country. Diane was best known for her entertaining conversation with “colourful” adjectives used to emphasize her points. Diane was kind and protective to those fortunate enough to be welcomed to her inner circle and demonstrated her charitable nature and big heart by donating her time in volunteering at the Coquitlam Thrift Store which raises proceeds for the Crossroads Hospice. Diane has now been reunited with her soul mate David Milton Smith whom she had lost on April 30, 2013.

Diane was loved and will be missed! A celebration of life will be hosted by Heather on Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 10 am to 6 pm in Coquitlam.
