Amanda Todd trial starts Monday in NW JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A fundraiser for a Port Coquitlam society named after a student who died by suicide will run concurrently with a trial for the man accused of cyberbullying her.

The online auction for the Amanda Todd Legacy Society started yesterday (Wednesday) and will run until July 29, with proceeds to be used to help people deal with trauma.

In October 2012, Todd, 15, posted a video on YouTube using flashcards to describe her online experience. When she died a month later, her message went viral.

Aydin Coban of The Netherlands is charged with extortion, importing and distributing child pornography, possession of child pornog-

raphy, communicating with the intent to lure a child and criminal harassment. Coban has pleaded not guilty.

The case begins Monday (June 6) at BC Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Todd’s mother, Carol, who started the society to shed light about online protection, told the Tri-City News on Monday: “After many long years, this trial is soon to begin and I know with all my heart that Amanda’s spirit is watching over us.

“Her story continues to resonate around the world and even more so in our communities close to home.”

Carol Todd added, “My wish as a mom is that we can all continue to talk and learn from what happened to Amanda and use what we know in positive and meaningful ways.”

Collision snarls commuter traffic One person injured KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

One person suffered minor injuries after the driver of a single vehicle collided with a traffic light on the Mary Hill Bypass Tuesday morning.

The collision, that occurred at about 7 a.m., closed westbound traffic

on the busy commuter thoroughfare for several hours. Traffic was backed up as far as the Golden Ears Bridge in Pitt Meadows, and the eastbound lanes from Kingsway to the Pitt River Bridge were also partially blocked. Nearby roads were also snarled as motorists looked for ways around the snarl.

Cpl. Paige Kuz, of the Coquitlam RCMP, said there was “no obvious cause for the collision.”

New Northeast Community Centre delayed a year Plans for $115M rec facility now being refined by city staff JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Shovels will go in the ground about a year later than anticipated for the Northeast Community Centre on Burke Mountain.

This week, Coquitlam staff said the construction start time had to be bumped to 2024 — with completion

now set for early 2027— to refine the plans after a public outreach in December and January.

City staff are also undertaking a number of technical and environmental studies, as well as a library branch feasibility study, and are discussing the $115-million facility with the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation.

News of the delay prompted the two city councillors with Burke Mountain roots to raise the alarm about the capital project, citing the rising costs and supply chain challenges to

get building materials.

At Monday’s meeting (May 30), Brent Asmundson and Craig Hodge also spoke about the need for a recreation hub in the future Burke Mountain Village that will serve as the commercial heart of the neighbourhood.

The city is planning 50,000 residents in the mountainside community.

“There is an eagerness for this facility,” Asmundson said, but noted he’s OK with the setback to fine-tune the plans.

“I’m hoping we can tighten the timeline,” Hodge

said. “Every month, the materials are going up.”

Tiina Mack, Coquitlam’s manager of parks and facility planning, told council-in-committee a public survey and four open houses, as well as comments from the Northeast Coquitlam Ratepayers Association and advisory groups, revealed more wants in the new 80,000 sq-ft. building.

Among them includes: • an ice rink • six pool lanes — not four • covered skateboard park • environmental con-

siderations for design and operations • more parking • more trail links Coun. Trish Mandewo said the city has to consider priorities, as well as funding and slope construction issues at the 10-acre site.

Currently, the rec centre plans call for an aquatics facility, multipurpose rooms, a fitness centre, two gyms, accessible change rooms, a library branch and an indoor walking track with a $12-million park/plaza next door.

the largest projects in the city in years,” said staff are looking at aquatics citywide.

And she noted the pool in the new Port Coquitlam Community Centre (PCCC) and the future updates at the Hyde Creek Recreation Centre, down Coast Meridian Road in PoCo. Still, Hodge said Burke residents want amenities close to home.

“Traffic congestion is more and more severe getting out of Burke Mountain,” he said, adding, “There’s going to be a lot of people living up there.”

Members of CrossFit CBC loosen up for their fundraiser for Backpack Buddies. KYLE BALZER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

programs are no longer available.

CrossFit CBC athlete Jennifer Bowden, who’s co-organizing the gym’s June 4 event with fellow athlete Christian De Leon and coach Greg Zeitler, said the gym began raising money for Backpack Buddies in the winter.

But because of rules around gyms, it was restricted to members only.

Still, that effort raised roughly $1,000 for the charity.

Bowden said the gym, which is located at 2731 Barnet Hwy., is looking forward to interacting with the community once more.

The Sports Day fundraiser begins at 8 a.m. and runs to to 3 p.m. Spectators can buy a 50/50 ticket at $20 each with the winner taking home half of the pot.

CRIME

No arrest in year-old murder KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Many questions remain about a shooting that took place in Coquitlam a year ago.

Mir Aali Hussain, 42, was shot to death in Coquitlam‘s Maillardville neighbourhood, which B.C. investigators confirmed to be a targeted incident.

But since then, not much information has come to light to garner an arrest or charges.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says the case is still open, in part, because tips from the public or witnesses have been “limited.”

On May 22, 2021, Coquitlam RCMP were called to a shooting near the corner of Henderson Avenue and Hart Street after receiving reports from several neighbours who claimed to have heard between three

and six gunshots.

Hussain, identified as the victim three days later, was found dead of gunshot wounds beside his white 2020 Toyota Highlander in an alleyway adjacent to a nearby home around 5:30 p.m. that evening.

Lee said Hussain‘s murder was not connected to Lower Mainland gang conflict, which had been rampant in the region at the time of the shooting.

PREVIOUS TARGET

However, Lee explained, Hussain was also the target of a Vancouver shooting back in 2000 and he had been seen with members of other organized crime groups.

The investigation is ongoing and officers are identifying “further avenues to pursue as well as suspects,” Lee said.

When asked by the TriCity News, IHIT said it could not comment on if a stolen

vehicle was also linked to last year‘s shooting.

Police announced a stolen red 2002 Buick Century was believed to be the suspect vehicle after it was recovered in Aldergrove a day after Hussain‘s death.

CAR WAS IN AREA

Two people were found inside, according to an earlier IHIT release, and had been seen driving the vehicle in the Maillardville area near Henderson Avenue and Hart Street 20 minutes before the shooting took place.

Anyone with more information about this shooting, or any other related incidents, is encouraged to call their local police department or IHIT at 1-877-551-4448.

They can also send an email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

$160M in city investment for parks, facilities last year Two years of “unprecedented challenges” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and supply chain demands have put pressure on capital projects in the City of Coquitlam.

Still, the municipality managed to start and complete 14 major parks and facilities projects in 2021–22, totalling $160 million in city investment including a partnership with the YMCA. On Monday, council-in-committee got its annual update from the department’s general manager on the current construction program by the city’s Capital Projects and Facilities group.

And Lanny England said the pandemic, weather and geo-political impacts that paused some city projects and sent costs soaring “were

not predicted even by experts in the field.”

“Staff continue to do their due diligence when working with consultants and contractors to minimize cost escalations and delivery

delays as they work towards delivering projects that meet the community’s needs and the high standards the City of Coquitlam is known for delivering to the community,” Englund said.

Here are the most recent projects the city checked off: • Buchanan Square at city hall, membrane work (2021) and plaza (May 2022) • Cottonwood Park Phase 1B, sports court, parkour area, ball diamond and playing fields (March 2022) • Town Centre Fire Training Tower (March 2022) • Centennial Artificial Turf Field, by Centennial Secondary (March 2022) • Town Centre Park washroom, by Evergreen Cultural Centre (December 2021) • Burke Mountain Discovery Centre and Coffee Shop (November 2021) • City Centre Aquatic Complex, renovation and expansion of fitness area (October 2021) • Poirier Arena 3, change

room expansion (July 2021) As well, the city’s Parks Infrastructure Team also finished six major projects over the past year: • Mundy Park playground, replacement including turf and irrigation updates • Nestor Park, forest playground elements, new pathways and furnishings, and site drainage • Hickey Park Phase 1, a new tennis court surfacing, fencing, LED lighting and electrical updates • Durant Park, staircase replaced with concrete• • Panorama Park, pedestrian bridge replacement • Pop-up parks, in City Centre, Burquitlam and Austin Heights Scott Groves, Coquitlam’s director of capital projects and facilities, reiterated

Englund’s comments about project setbacks due to workplace health, as well as environmental and international forces.

“We had quite the year.

It’s been interesting delivering projects during this time,” he told council. “We have continued to do our best and bring projects on budget. Some of them we definitely had struggles with schedule. We have to find ways to do things better as we move forward.”

Meanwhile, both city teams also have a total of 17 major capital projects on the go. Among them, the new Burquitlam YMCA, of which the city is a partner, is set to open this fall. As well, the pop-up park in Burquitlam is also due to return this week by the SkyTrain station.

Gilbert replaced by Karn as deputy chief for Oct. 15 election Voters go to the polls Oct. 15 for next city election Clerks at Coquitlam city hall are getting ready for the next civic election.

But a key role will change hands for the Oct. 15 vote.

In March, city council appointed Stephanie Lam as chief election officer and Jay Gilbert as the deputy chief election officer.

On Monday (May 30), council replaced Gilbert with Katie Karn, who joined the municipality this month as city clerk and has

run general local elections.

According to a report from Stephanie James, Coquitlam’s general manager of legislative services, the city will begin to hire about 200 pre-election and election day workers in June. Staff will also adjust remuneration based on sti-

pends paid by other Metro Vancouver jurisdictions.

The role changes come as the city is due to be in the Vancouver Law Courts on June 21 on a byelection challenge.

Currently, two Coquitlam residents have announced their council

candidacies with the TriCity News: • Matt Djonlic, the executive assistant to B.C.'s finance minister Selina Robinson (MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville) • Ali Tootian, a Gleneagle Secondary teacher Meanwhile, if you’re

thinking about running for civic office, the Coquitlam Public Library will host a workshop — with the Coquitlam incumbents — on June 14 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the City Centre branch (1169 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam).

BLOWING IN THE WIND FREMONT FUN RUN

Ready, set, go DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

July 1 festivities feature Barney Bentall Canada Day celebrations are back in Port Coquitlam with a strong line up of entertainment, food and fireworks.

The city has announced the details of the big party celebrating Canada's 155th birthday.

This year’s plans include greetings kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation Chief Ed Hall and Mayor Brad West.

The featured line up for Port Coquitlam’s Canada Day event features Juno award-winning artist

Barney Bentall, a pop/rock singer-songwriter most well-known for his 1990sera band the Legendary Hearts, and he's also set to take the stage with his son, singer and musician Dustin Bentall.

"We’re very excited that

our signature Canada Day event in Castle Park is back after two years of being virtual due to the pandemic," said Mayor Brad West in a news release.

The day kicks off with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. at Lions Park.

Have fun, get some exercise and support an important Port Coquitlam non-profit.

That’s the goal of the second annual Fremont 5KM Fun Run set to kick off on the morning of June 12.

Participants will jog a scenic route along the Traboulay PoCo Trail and the Fremont Village neighbourhood with proceeds to benefit the TriCity Transitions Society.

The event is organized Permack and Associates, a team of local realtors who have strong ties to the community.

Sonia Lagiglia, a Port Coquitlam resident who works with real estate clients in the area, says the run is a terrific community event and all are welcome.

Permack and Associates team leader and founder, Rebecca Permack, will be donating 100 per cent of the proceeds from the run

back to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, which directly benefits the Tri-City Transitions Society.

The Tri-City Transitions Society — based in Port Coquitlam — provides essential services to women and children who are victims of domestic violence.

The Fremont 5KM was established in 2021, but due to COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, it was held virtually.

This year’s event will be held in person, and will include a morning stretch and snacks from Function Health Club and a wrap up party at Provincial Spirits.

It begins at 11 a.m. and wraps up at 1:30 p.m.

HOW TO ENTER

Tickets are available through EventBrite, and are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12.

The entry fee includes a finisher’s medal, a beverage from Provincial Spirits and a donation to The RLP Shelter Foundation.

LISTENING TO LEARN

Travelling exhibit is 'like a hug from a mother' Royal BC Museum display examines history of First Nations' languages

the Kwikwetlem title for the Riverview lands in Coquitlam.

CONSULTATION

MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

British Columbia’s 203 First Nations speak 34 distinct languages.

Several exist only orally and as elders who know them pass away, they’re at risk of disappearing entirely.

A few already have.

The effort to ensure Indigenous languages survive and even flourish is the subject of a travelling exhibit from the Royal B.C. Museum that’s being featured at Port Moody Station Museum from June 1 to Sept. 10.

The exhibit, entitled Our Living Languages: First Peoples’ Voices in BC, is comprised of information panels and interactive stations that tell the history of those languages, the threats to their continued existence and the work that’s being done to document them so they can be passed on to future generations.

Language is a vital component of First Nations’ cul-

years, championed by dedicated researchers making audio and video recordings of conversations with elders.

Digitizing those tapes has been an ongoing project at Royal B.C., Kerr said.

The work is also important to reconciliation, she added.

Language can help build bridges to empathy and awareness, Kerr said.

such as smallpox and measles that were introduced to Indigenous communities by white settlers have diminished many First Nations’ languages, undermining their culture.

Bringing those languages back to life has been a bit of a hodgepodge effort over the

Brianne Egeto, the manager/curator at Station Museum, said she reached out to learn about the language program that the Tsleil-Waututh community is doing.

“The Port Moody Heritage Society is committed to taking steps towards reconciliation,” she said.

“We hope this exhibit will get people wanting to learn more about all the other initiatives taking place within the communities.”

Kerr said the display has the potential to open the ears and hearts of visitors, especially when they take a seat in the specially-constructed “cradleboard theatre” that envelopes listeners in recordings of conversations in Indigenous languages, many of them with children.

The effect is intentional, she said, as a cradleboard is a portable carrier woven or built of wood that is used by many First Nations to transport infants in their first few months of life.

“We want it to feel like a hug from a mother.”

BC NDP’s big museum mistake

Last Week t

S

hovels will not even be in the ground for more than three years, yet the BC NDP government already finds itself in a very deep hole when it comes to replacing the Royal B.C. Museum.

The unveiling of the plans to build a new museum has to rank as one of the worst communication disasters of all time for a B.C. government and is certainly the biggest misstep by the NDP since taking power in 2017.

For more than four years, the NDP administration had enjoyed fairly smooth sailing on all kinds of fronts. Controversies were relatively few and even those that occurred were not of a major, lasting sort.

The pandemic provided cover of sorts, of course. It pushed other issues off the

table and out of the public mind as society struggled to come to grips with the world being turned upside down.

However, while we are still officially in the midst of the pandemic, political issues and government decisions are being seen in a bright new light and right now that light is trained rather harshly at that $1 billion museum project.

First, there is the cost: almost $800 million for the museum and more than $200 million in related expenses.

One of the government’s main points of defence is that the building is potentially unsafe in a major earthquake and needs replacing.

That is a perfectly fine position but here’s the rub: there are many schools and health facilities with even

worse seismic issues, yet they are further back in the queue than the museum is when it comes to being made safer.

Second, it will take eight years for a new museum to open. So for almost a decade, a region where tourism is second only to government when it comes to jobs and economic activity will be without its No. 1 tourist attraction.

Third, this whole scheme was literally sprung on the public with no consultation. Oh, there was the odd meeting here and there among various folks but no venue for meaningful public input.

In other words, there was no effort made to bring the public along on what was surely going to be a controversial exercise.

The project has all the signs of being sent through

a bureaucratic process, but not though a political lens.

The term “tone deaf” certainly applies here.

I have no idea how the NDP extricates itself from this.

Perhaps it delays the planned September closing date for the current museum. Maybe it asks experts who devised this plan to go back and try again, with a cheaper cost and shorter time line.

Or perhaps it hopes that over time this controversy will die down to the point where its hold on the region most affected by the project will not be threatened in the next election.

We shall see. In the meantime, the BC Liberals finally have an issue to exploit, and they will.

Consumers need a break from high prices The Editor: It seems like almost overnight, people shifted from obsessing about COVID-19 to obsessing about inflation.

There is a sense of panic in the air.

Everything is becoming less affordable: gas, groceries, sports gear, insurance and housing.

There are no breaks to be found as prices continue to rise.

And, right when we started to feel the financial pressure of those rising prices, the Bank of Canada started raising interest rates.

Why? Ostensibly to tem-

per inflation.

I feel quite strongly that we are being screwed by all sides and we all need to pay more attention.

The reason for the increase in food prices is beyond our control.

The only thing raising interest rates will do is make other things more unaffordable.

Some measures should also be in place that prohibits banks and other creditors from charging exorbitant interest rates. Amortization keeps us all beholden to the banks for far too long.

If the government were

sincere in its desire to help the working masses, then it would direct its attention to corporations.

Price fixing and price gouging need to be addressed.

Some measures should also be in place that prohibits banks and other creditors from charging exorbitant interest rates.

It’s time to stop expecting the average Canadian to tighten their belt, do with less, and struggle more, while CEOs are taking home multimillion-dollar compensation packages and shareholders who do

nothing, collect fat dividend cheques.

Canadians should be screaming at the top of their lungs about rising interest rates.

Prices will not come down with increased rates, but many Canadians will see a sudden and unaffordable increase in their monthly payments. Then companies will cry recession and use this as an excuse to treat workers worse.

We are all being played for fools while the elite laughs all the way to the bank.

Tri-City transit commuters will soon be serenaded

Two years after the COVID-19 pandemic put the initiative on hold, TransLink is set to bring back its buskers program to entertain SkyTrain riders — including those that make their way through Coquitlam Central station. And professional,

award-winning musicians are also getting in on the program.

In fact, more than 25 local performing artists are set to rock the Coquitlam platform throughout the summer.

“This is all part of our commitment to continually improving the customer experience,” said TransLink

CEO Kevin Quinn in a release.

He noted the program was first introduced in 1986 for the World’s Fair in Vancouver.

Interested local musicians looking to join the licensed buskers program are also encouraged to go to the authority’s website.

Port Moody is surrounded by trees that make the community more vibrant and interactive for local residents and visitors.

Now, the city is contemplating how it can maintain the urban forest and is seeking public opinion on its 30year vision.

A new survey has launched on Engage Port

Moody asking how city staff can establish a plan to improve the health and resiliency of all trees, including those on the street, in a park or in a residential yard.

This is also in response to city council’s declaration of a climate emergency.

According to the survey, staff is currently developing an urban forest manage-

ment strategy while also reviewing Port Moody’s tree protection bylaw as the city continues to evolve and grow.

The survey encompasses an array of topics related to the urban forest, including the benefits of trees within the community and which areas local residents’ believe can use improvements.

The deadline to complete the online survey is June 12.

Those who wish to obtain a paper copy of the survey can pick one up at Port Moody city hall (100 Newport Dr.).

For more information and to participate in the survey, you’re encouraged to visit Engage Port Moody’s website.

West Coast Chicago, which includes three Tri-City residents, will cover Chicago’s most popular songs at a live concert on Friday, June 17 in Port Moody. PHOTO SUBMITTED MUSIC

Chicago tribute band plays the hits at Inlet Theatre An octet of professional musicians with a love for songs from the band Chicago will play Port Moody this month.

West Coast Chicago will perform at the Inlet Theatre to cover such classics as “Saturday in the Park,” “If You Leave Me Now” and “25 or 6 to 4.”

Spokesperson Barry

Date: Time: Location:

Samuels told the Tri-City News the ensemble played four sold-out shows at the Blue Frog Studios in White Rock before the COVID-19 lockdown, in January 2020, and had a sold-out date last October in Sidney.

This year, with the pandemic easing, West Coast Chicago has four gigs booked:

Monday, June 13, 2022 7:00 p.m.

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

• June 17, Port Moody • Aug. 12, Langley Ribfest • Oct. 21, Sidney • Oct. 22, Campbell River The 90-minute sets include up to 20 tunes.

Samuels said Chicago’s songs appeal to everyone as the group mixed genres with complex musicianship.

“You’ve got to have good players to get it exactly right,”

he told the News.

Described as a “Rock & Roll band with horns,” the Chicago Transit Authority recorded its first album in 1968 before it changed its name to Chicago. In 1971, it was the first contemporary musical act to sell out Carnegie Hall, in New York City, for an entire week.

Chicago had 35 Top 40

hits between 1970 and 1989 — 27 of which were Top 20, and 20 in the Top 10.

For West Coast Chicago, the band is made up of: • Paul Clarke (keyboards, vocals, band music director) • Mon Gonzales (lead guitar, vocals) • Scott Driscoll (lead vocals, guitar, percussion) • Greg Farrugia (trom-

bone, percussion) • Garth Balint (trumpet, flugelhorn, percussion) • Bryan Vance (saxophone, flute, percussion) • Graham Clark (bass) • Mike Crean (drums) For tickets to the June 17 show at the Inlet Theatre (inside Port Moody city hall), visit westcoastchicago. eventbrite.ca.

FUNDRAISER HONOURING WOMEN

PoCo museum calls for cutest pets Deadline for the second annual contest is June 6 KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Raiin’s term in office is coming to a close.

The five-year-old boxer served as Port Coquitlam’s first-ever pet ambassador after winning the inaugural election of its kind in the city in 2021, which also served as a fundraiser for community events.

Now, it’s time to elect a new furry representative in the confines of city hall.

The PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives has opened the nomination period for its second pet election with a June 6 deadline.

“Nominees will campaign for votes over the course of a month, and the winner of this lighthearted competition will be named PoCo’s official pet ambassador by the mayor himself,” reads the

RAIIN, THE FIRST WINNER

ballot’s description on the organization’s website.

“There will also be an award for the pet with the most spirited campaign.”

Raiin received the most votes in the inaugural race, and altogether, PoCo Heritage raised more than $2,500 for community events and programming, as well as curating the museum’s collection, which included several pet photos.

Last year, there were 33 candidates up for the title — 29 dogs, three cats and one

rabbit. “The pets were so cute, we had some great submissions for our campaign tasks, and really the outpouring of support from the community was heartwarming,” said Alex Code, PoCo Heritage museum manager, in an earlier interview with the Tri-City News.

“If anything, I think this event just goes to show how important our pets are to our community.”

The pet that wins the ballot will earn the honour of representing all pets at Port Coquitlam in-person events, depending on its abilities.

They’ll also receive the official symbols of the office and lots of bragging rights.

The candidacy and voting period begins on June 9, with a winner set to be declared after June 23.

For more information, or if you wish to submit a nomination for the competition by the June 6 deadline, you can visit the PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives’ website.

Go to pocoheritage.org/.

It’s in your home that matters most.

Lt.-Gov. Austin at ‘Wings’ gala B.C.’s lieutenant governor will be in the Tri-Cities this month to talk to area Soroptimists and honour a few local women who are bettering their lives.

The Honourable Janet Austin is the guest speaker at the group’s annual Give Her Wings awards night, held on June 22 at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (2150 Wilson Ave.).

Featuring inspiring stories, desserts and wine, the gala will also pay tribute to the recipients of the Live

Your Dream accolades, which help women in need with their education and training expenses.

More than half of the Soroptimists’ past winners have been survivors of domestic violence, trafficking or sexual assault, according to a news release.

“Nearly all of the women and families we serve have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, teen pregnancy and drug or alcohol addiction,” the

group states.

The parent organization of the Soroptimists hands out more than $2 million in educational grants each year to women around the world.

In the past 15 years, the Soroptimist International of the Tri-Cities has given out more than $100,000.

For tickets to the June 22 event, which runs from 6:45 to 8:45 p.m., visit Soroptimisttricities.org or trellis.org/annualawardsevening.

ElderDog provides peace of mind for seniors Ensuring their dog gets cared for is highly stressful for older adults They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but they sure do love a good scratch.

ElderDog Canada is a national, registered charitable organization that works to help older adults care for the well being of their dogs, as well as promote the welfare of older dogs whose human companions have passed away or had their lives disrupted by illness or relocation.

The group is currently looking for volunteers to fill several roles in its Tri-Cities’

“Pawd,” including Pawd leaders, rehoming coordinators and dog care support coordinators.

According to a study by researchers at the University of Texas, companion animals can help reduce depression and loneliness in socially isolated homebound older adults. Another study in Sweden that included more than 3.4 million adults between the ages of 40 and 80 showed dog owners had a lower risk of having a heart attack or dying than single people who didn’t own dogs.

“Dogs may ease stress, loneliness and depression,” said a report on the study in Harvard Health Publishing, SEE

Knowing their dog will be cared for if they’re no longer capable can bring peace of mind for seniors with companion dogs, according to ElderDog Canada. RYAN REINOSO/

Publishing, a newsletter from Harvard Medical School.

The report added dogs can “inspire people to be more active and socially connected — all things that seem to foster heart health.”

ElderDog Canada helps preserve the relationships between older adults and their dogs by providing support for both sides of that bond.

“We believe that people and animals, regardless of circumstance, health and age, are worthy of respect and deserve to be treated in a way that honours them as valued individuals,” said a statement on its website.

“We strive to make it possible for older adults and their canine companions to live together as long as is reasonable in healthy, mutually beneficial relationships.”

The organization provides seniors with support so they can continue caring for their dogs, including: • help with exercising their dogs • delivering or picking up dog food • providing light tasks associated with animal hygiene like eye or ear cleaning, grooming, nail clipping

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY

Gleneagle Talons’ community breeds success Only four players had previous rugby experience MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

More than its big 39-7 victory over rival Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils to win the Coquitlam district championship, more than its berth in the B.C. AAA championships that started Wednesday (June 1), the senior girls’ rugby season for Gleneagle Secondary has been all about community.

The results have been an unexpected bonus, says Talons head coach Simon Quinto.

Coming off two seasons lost to COVID-19, during which players were able to practice in limited ways but not participate in competitive games, the Talons girded for a long learning curve.

All but four of the girls who reported for tryouts had never played rugby before, and the pandemic pause meant there were no battle-hardened seniors to show them the ropes.

Hard work in practice and dedication to learning the game have been keys to the Talons’ success, says the team’s coach, Simon Quinto. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It would all come down to hard work, Quinto said.

That meant practices would emphasize condi-

tioning and repetitive drills to infuse the players with

rugby’s fundamental skills of passing and catching the ball and tackling opponents.

It also meant giving the girls the fortitude to embrace the sport’s physicality.

“The mental aspect is a big piece,” Quinto said.

“The most important part is being able to take away the ‘I can’t.’”

Nicole Miller didn’t think she could.

When the Grade 12 student signed up to join the rugby team for a tour of New Brunswick in the fall of her Grade 9 year, she went for the travel experience and stayed on the sidelines.

But, she said, she liked hanging out with the tightknit group of players.

So, when the call-out came to sign up for the spring season, she joined her new friends on the team.

“I’d always thought I wouldn’t be successful at sports,” said Miller, who will continue her rugby journey at the University of Calgary in the fall.

Quinto credits the development of players like Miller with the support everyone on the team gives each other.

“The team picks you up

and moves you along,” he said.

That spirit of all-forone-and-one-for-all was especially important as the Talons endured injuries and lineup shortages through the season that required players to stretch their comfort zones.

“There was definitely a lot of shuffling around,” Quinto said. “The girls were playing above their weight class.”

Angelina Alexander, a Grade 12 scrum half, said the side’s camaraderie grew as they all learned the game together.

“You realize you’re capable of so much more,” she said.

Hailey Mynott, a Grade 11 fly-half, agreed.

“Everyone is so supportive,” she said. “They help bump you up.”

Quinto said the eagerness of the girls to learn the game has been especially gratifying, as they commit hours to reviewing video of matches and more time on the pitch and in the gym to improve their fitness.

“It’s pretty awesome when they realize success is within their grasp,” he said.
