THE EVOLVING TRI-CITIES

ADULT EDUCATION

Census stats show ‘mother tongues’

Enrolment in adult education courses is expected to rise

English still tops, Mandarin & Cantonese are on the rise GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

While English remains the dominant language of Tri-City residents, new census data

shows a boom since 2011 in the number of local people whose mother tongue is Mandarin or Cantonese.

According to stats released last week, Mandarin is the second most common mother tongue after English in the Tri-Cities, increasing 129.2% to 16,445 between 2011 and ’16. Cantonese is

third, rising 56.9% to 12,215 last year from 7,785 in ’11.

That means a combined 28,660 residents of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody listed one of those two Chinese languages as their mother tongue — i.e., the first language a person learns that they can still speak today.

In comparison, that’s less than 5% of the 131,120 local people who gave English as their mother tongue in 2016 (up just one 1% from 130,000 in 2011).

Native English speakers account for 60% of the combined 231,447 population of the three cities. see SUCCESS CEO, page 3

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Hundreds of people who have delayed upgrading their education for lack of money are expected to enrol in high school courses this fall and winter now that $550 fees

will no longer be charged for graduated adults.

That’s the prediction of Michael McGlenen, School District 43’s district principal for Coquitlam Continuing Education.

are ‘very welcoming’ continued from front page

Queenie Choo, the CEO of SUCCESS, which helps new immigrants overcome cultural and language barriers, said the demographic changes shown in the recent local census data is common across Metro Vancouver.

The Tri-Cities are “very welcoming,” she told The TriCity News. “People like to get settled there, which is a good thing… It has vibrant neighbourhoods and is a city that attracts newcomers.”

Increases in immigration are good for the economy and can work to stimulate local businesses, Choo added.

She also noted that while the census categorizes residents by their mother tongue, most communicate in more than one language.

“It doesn’t mean they don’t speak English,” she said. “Most are probably bi-

lingual or multilingual.”

Another strong Asian contingent in the Tri-Cities has been the Korean-speaking population, one of the largest in western Canada. Coquitlam has been particularly popular with Korean-speaking people, hosting a Korean festival up until 2014, while establishing a sister city relationship with Paju, Korea. According to the 2011 census data, the North Road neighbourhood was notable for a high Koreanspeaking population.

The latest stats show the number of residents who listed Korean as their mother tongue increased 15.2% to 11,480 over the last five years.

But Korean, Cantonese and Mandarin are not the only languages that have been growing in the Tri-Cities over the last five years.

The number of Arabicspeaking people has risen 43.7% — from 1,145 in 2011

to 1,645 today — while the Farsi-speaking population has increased 20.7%, from 7,720 to 9,315.

Tagalog, which is predominantly spoken in the Philippines, increased 16.5%, from 3,690 to 4,300, while the Spanish-speaking population rose by the same percentage, from 3,425 to 3,990.

French, a language with historical ties to the Tri-Cities due to the influx of FrenchCanadians who worked at Fraser Mills and lived in Maillardville, is the 17th on the list of mother tongues in the Tri-Cities, falling 0.6% from 2,360 to 2,345 in the last five years.

Across British Columbia, the number of people that reported a mother tongue other than French or English rose from 28.2% in 2011 to 29.6% in 2016.

GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Drought conditions in Metro Vancouver may not be as severe this summer as in past years but bylaw enforcement officers are still on the hunt for water restriction violators.

In Coquitlam, 107 warnings and five fines have been issued.

Port Moody has warned two people and fined 11 while Port Coquitlam has issued 29 warnings but has yet to issue a fine.

According to Metro Vancouver, current reservoir levels are within their normal range for this time of year but that could change if there is an extended period without rainfall.

Still, Stage 1 water restrictions automatically went into effect May 15, running through Oct. 15. Currently, lawn watering is only allowed at even-numbered residential addresses on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays between 4 and 9 a.m. while odd-numbered addresses are permitted to water their lawns on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at the same times.

TIPS TO REDUCE FIRE RISK

Rain may be in the weather forecast for this weekend but it likely won’t do much to dampen the tinder-dry conditions in local green spaces. So Coquitlam Fire/Rescue has some tips for people who live adjacent to those spaces to reduce the amount of fuel and the risk of wildfires, as well as the potential for any wildfire to hit a home. They include: • Reduce the amount of fuel by pruning shrubs, removing dead and dry vegetation, and tree limbs 2 to 3 m from the ground.

• Prune branches that overhang your roof and keep it, and gutters, clear of dead needles and dry leaves.

• Break up any vegetation that runs from the green space to your home so there’s not a continuous canopy.

• Move debris or firewood at least 10 m from your home.

• When cutting the grass, be aware of any rocks because they could cause a spark when struck by a mower’s blade.

• Don’t toss cigarette butts.

• Don’t do any outdoor burning.

• Don’t park your vehicle with the exhaust pipe over a dry lawn as a spark or hot emission could ignite it.

The fire department also has a number of seasonal safety tips, including advice for the safe use of barbecues, on its website coquitlam.ca/seasonalsafety.

bles, planters, shrubs and trees is still permitted, as is topping up pools, spas, garden ponds and water features. Washing cars and boats is also permitted but you must use a hose with an automatic or spring-

ADULT EDUCATION

Cost will be made up over time: McGlenen continued from front page

“The good news here is folks who are considering moving on toward their educational goals will have the opportunity to do so independent of their wealth and status,” said McGlenen, who is also the president of the Continuing Education Directors Association representing B.C. public school districts.

Tuesday’s announcement that adult grads will not have to pay fees for high school academic courses beginning Sept. 1 is expected to generate new students for programs such as English 12 and Math 11 and 12, while those who have already paid their fees but haven’t started or finished more than 5% of the course will get a refund.

McGlenen told The Tri-City News staff will also be updating the continuing ed. website (ce43.com) to reflect the changes, adding, “We hope people will be patient while we make those changes.”

The switch to no-fee courses for adult basic education comes after two years of a decline in enrolment after fees were introduced for adult graduates in May 2015.

McGlenen said the drop occurred gradually as students weighed their choices — pay for

SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. necessities or pay for tuition is the choice many faced — with the result that SD43 dropped some sections of courses.

“It did have an impact on our face-to-face class offerings at night school,” he said. “The direct result was some non-grads wouldn’t be able to get into those face-to-face classes.”

The $550 fee applied to both classroom courses and online and self-paced classes for adult learners who had already graduated.

But now with the fee removed, McGlenen speculated that as many as 250 more students could enrol for academic courses, with most of them likely signing up for January.

As well, he expects to see some communities that had to close their adult night classes to resume programming, a positive development, he said, because access to education shouldn’t depend on where you live.

As for staffing, McGlenen said the change won’t make a huge impact for SD43 because it has a number of programs and with enrolment constantly changing, can accommodate an increase in students.

“The great news for us in the program is we get to say, ‘Do what you want. You’re not restricted based on your finances,’” he said, adding that he believes the cost of bringing back tuition-free programs will likely be made up by people paying higher taxes when they get into better jobs.

“There’s really no cost in the long term,” he said.

Meanwhile, students won’t have to pay tuition fees when they enrol in English and math upgrading courses at Douglas College, according to a spokesperson, while students who have already paid their tuition for upgrading courses for fall 2017 will be refunded.

Free tuition only applies to domestic students, Sucheta Singh, communications coordinator for the college, stated in an email. “Course offerings and fees remain unchanged for international students.”

Work on the new Port Coquitlam rec complex earlier this year included taking down some trees.

PORT COQUITLAM

PoCo, have your say on trees in your city Five months after Port Coquitlam axed dozens of trees to make way for the new downtown recreation complex, the city is looking to change its tree policies.

And it’s asking for the public’s input on how to boost the number of trees in the city — and how to save heritage trees.

On Sunday, city officials will be at Music in the Square from 2 to 4 p.m. in Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall) to talk about new ideas such as adding 13,000 more small trees on private and public lands over

the next 25 years, and curbing tree removal.

The outreach will also happen at the weekly farmers’ market, on Thursday afternoons at Leigh Square, as well as the Canada 150 celebrations Aug. 26.

For PoCo residents unable to attend those events, an online survey is available until Sept. 30 with a chance for participants to win a $100 Visa gift card. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/ talktrees.

The online and in-person feedback will be part of a report this fall, with council con-

sidering the recommendations early next year.

“There is plenty of current research that shows trees play an important role in making our communities more liveable, healthy and resilient to the effects of climate change,” Coun. Laura Dupont, chair of the city’s Healthy Community Committee, said in a news release. “We look forward to hearing what the community has to say about our trees.”

Neil Laffra, Rod MacVicar and Kevin Ryan of the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society look for insects and other creatures in the waters of Mossom Creek. Researchers will conduct similar surveys of the Mossom Creek watershed during a BioBlitz Aug. 18 and 19.

BIOBLITZ 2017 DETAILS

Researchers will be taking an inventory of species in the Mossom Creek watershed Aug. 18 an 19. The public is also invited to take part in nature walks, with registration required at www.mossomcreek.org. The Night Creatures of Mossom interpretive walk in search of bats takes place Friday, Aug. 18 from 7 to 10 p.m. while the guided Biodiversity Walk will take place Saturday, Aug. 19, with walks taking place at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Sign up for PM BioBlitz DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Creatures from bugs to bats will be inventoried next week for one of the most in-depth ecological surveys ever undertaken in Port Moody.

For a 24-hour period on Aug. 18 and 19, a dozen research scientists will be taking stock of plants, animals, insects, birds and fish that make their home in Mossom Creek’s 100-acre watershed.

It’s a baseline study that members of the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society (BIMES), which runs Mossom Creek Hatchery, hope will be the groundwork for future research.

“This is the essence of a baseline study. You’ve got to know what you’ve got before it’s gone,” said Rod MacVicar, cofounder of the hatchery, whose members are co-ordinating the BioBlitz marking Canada’s 150th year since confederation.

Former BIMES president Tracy Green, who’s helping plan the event, said the study will be carried out at various sites, such as the shoreline, forest, creek and meadows that make up the watershed.

The city of Port Moody, the village of Anmore and the Brilliant Circle Group (BCG), which is planning to redevelop the Ioco lands, are all supporting the project by allowing researchers on their properties. Funding for the report is coming from the Canada 150 community grant program, the Port Moody Foundation, Port of Vancouver and Toronto Dominion, Green said.

“They are pretty open to the idea of doing a bioblitz study. They like the idea of

an independent report,” said Green, who explained that a bioblitz is an intense study of the biodiversity of a region, with the results to be sent to local governments and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and made available to the public online.

There will also be a chance for the public to get a lose look at the often hidden creatures that inhabit the watershed on PoMo’s north shore.

Green said people can participate in two public events: Night Creatures of Mossom, an interpretive walk on Friday, Aug. 18 from 7 to 10 p.m.; and the Guided Biodiversity Walks on Saturday, Aug. 19 at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Volunteers are also sought to help with checking in guests, or for those with biology backgrounds, helping assist the researchers.

Among the intriguing residents of Mossom are the caddisfly larvae, which builds its own casing out of materials at hand, such as bits of wood floating in the creek and small pebbles.

There is also a tree where the stonefly, which lives in the creek as larvae for up to three years, will molt from its exoskeleton to fly away and mate.

Scientists will also be looking for small mammals, bees and butterflies, bats, snails, owls and beetles as well as a variety of plants. Some of the sites for study include the creek and its banks, the shoreline, where Mossom flows into Burrard Inlet, the Ioco townsite and the old gun range at Sunnyside.

SHARE

Share needs energy, ideas for fundraiser Imagine is major source of cash for Share’s programs DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

With less than a year to organize its signature fundraising event, Share Family and Community Services is putting the call out for volunteers to join the planning committee for Imagine, 2018.

“We are looking for people with great ideas, creativity and who like thinking outside the box,” said Valerie Hutton, director of fund development for Share.

Imagine is one of the Tri-Cities’ most anticipated fundraising events, raising over $100,000 for community programs that help the most vulnerable, from seniors to children to newcomers.

With its focus on creativity and imagination, Imagine has become an important event on the social calendar. But to continue the tradition of wowing guests with a pre- and postreception, entertainment and a live and silent auction — as well as an original theme — Share needs people to help plan some of the components.

“We are looking to add new energy to the group,” she said.

The advisory committee assists with the oversight, planning and execution of the March 10 event, which will be held at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Molson Theatre.

It is made up of members of

the community who share an interest in volunteering and who have expertise in marketing, event management, sales and communication, and share a passion for the community.

The commitment is for approximately four to 12 hours per month, with the time required increasing as the event date approaches.

Hutton said without the funds raised by Imagine, which has been around for about 12 years, many programs that are local institutions, such as the food bank, wouldn’t exist.

“We get no provincial, federal or municipal funding for the food bank,” Hutton noted.

As well, the money raised helps support community programs such as after-school programs for children, parent and tot drop-ins, English practice groups and a seniors group for older food bank users.

“That’s a real area of growth for Share,” Hutton said, pointing out that the group of seniors comes once a week on Fridays for tea and conversation, picking up their hampers at the end of the get-together in a safe and stress-free environment.

“They don’t have to battle with the crowds you would normally see on food bank day,” Hutton said, adding that the program also helps reduce isolation for impoverished seniors.

With food bank usage holding steady and a growing population, Share finds its resources increasingly stretched to provide services. But thanks to Imagine, many of the gaps are filled, with dollars raised ensuring these programs keep

running, Hutton said.

“These are the sorts of things that really meet the community at ground level.”

Those interested in participating in the Imagine fundraising committee or learning more about this volunteer opportunity can contact Hutton at valerie.hutton@sharesociety.ca or by calling 604-529-5119.

Don’t be a target for the taxman

Coquitlam’s first brewery is set to open The Tri-Cities’ fifth craft brewer will launch on Aug. 22 JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

He’s been pulling 100-hour weeks for the past four months and, now, Byron Vallis is finally ready to pull the tap handles at Coquitlam’s first craft brewery.

A partner in Mariner Brewing with Wim Vander Zalm — Vallis’ former employer at Art Knapp Plantland in Port Coquitlam — he’s preparing for its grand opening on Aug. 22. Five frosty possibilities will be on tap: a northeast India pale ale, a dry-hopped cream ale, a sour weisse, an amber ale and a Scottish ale.

“It’s a really diverse lineup for opening day,” the Dr. Charles Best secondary school grad said, “and we have so many more ideas. We already have the ingredients for a white IPA.” The beer ingredients are also west-coast sourced, Vallis said, with most of the hops supply imported from Oregon.

There’s some local support, too — from the four breweries on Port Moody’s popular Brewers Row. Vallis said their

Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. owners have been “really supportive. It’s a surprise. But when new places open, everyone’s on board because it’s yet another craft beer for B.C.” Ahead of the opening, Mariner will be represented at Coquitlam’s Kaleidoscope Festival tomorrow (Saturday) as well as the Aug. 19 Battle of the Brews, a fundraiser for the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society.

In the meantime, Vallis and staff are preparing their 3,000sq. ft. premises — including a 45-seat tap room — at H-1100 Lansdowne Dr. (across Barnet Highway from Milestones).

“We’ve just been going nonstop to get everything in order.”

A small patio at the front will open soon and, perhaps next season, a 30-seat patio out back, facing south toward the Evergreen Extension. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

INSOLVENCY TRUSTEE

ASK A TRUSTEE

Ask a Pest Control Professional Q. How do I critter proof my house?

A: With increased land development and approaching fall season the upsurge in rodent/ wildlife sightings and activity are likely. Mice, rats, squirrels and raccoons are the most common house invaders.

Critters in any form require food, harborage and opportunity. With diligent sanitation and prevention practices, their impact in and around your house may be decreased.

Vegetation management and clutter control are key features in not attracting and encouraging critters on your property.

Proactively inspect all your structure lines that connect with or enter your house from ground level, below ground and roof for gaps, damage, rot, vegetation overgrowth. Examples are foundation line to framing, siding, fascia, soffit, all doors, building corners, vents, gas fittings, drains. If you see daylight or fit a finger a mouse may get through. If a tree branch or bush are touching your roof line consider them a step ladder for critters.

WITH DAVID WOOD Q. I am behind in my mortgage payments and getting collections calls.

Should I go bankrupt?

A: How to deal with this situation is going to depend on the answers to three questions: 1. How far behind are you? One month can be caught up, four months means the house is likely going to be foreclosed out, – but there are no certainties, and could be options for either situation.

2. Do you want to stay or have you decided you can’t afford to stay and need to let it go? If you are going to let the house go, consult with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee first to ensure you know how this works.

3. Is there equity and how much equity is there? A small amount of equity may not really be any, and a large amount could open up other options, such as a consumer proposal or refinancing, or both!

A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can explain all the options.

Call us. Its never too late.

Summer Caution: Heat Stroke

Dr. Nenad Karli, DVM & Assoc.

tive director, said in a news release. “Library Day at the Fair at the PNE provides an opportunity to highlight some of the fun activities that families can expect when they visit their local library — from storytime to makerspaces, there is something for all ages.”

The Fair runs Aug. 19 to Sept. 4; kids under 13 get in free. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

406 – 2963 Glen Drive Coquitlam, BC V3B 2P7 Telephone: (604) 605-3335

Heat stroke occurs in dogs who are left in a small confined space with poor air circulation (notably cars) or when playing outside on warm sunny humid days.

Cars turn into ovens within 10 minutes, even in the shade with the windows open. If you witness a dog in a car on a warm or humid day that you believe may be in distress, please ask stores to page their customers and call the local SPCA or police immediately.

How to recognize the signs of overheating?

The first signs are restlessness and excessive panting, sometimes excessive drooling followed by very difficult (and loud) breathing. The dog may be unable to stand up or move.

Don’t waste time!!! Immediately call your Veterinarian! Cool your dog down by immersing in cool water or by spraying with water. NEVER USE ICE WATER! This constricts the blood flow which inhibits cooling.

Give the dog some cool water to drink. Please go to your veterinarian or emergency animal hospital ASAP!

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Bears and bait

The cruel blood sport of bear-baiting was banned across the British Empire in 1835. We in Coquitlam, however, haven’t seemed to get the message.

As we have reported this summer, conflicts with bears and reports of them being killed continue to hit the news.

Some conflicts are inevitable. The bear population is likely at a high point in its natural cycle and we spent much of the last 100 years sawing down trees to make their backyard into our backyard. Though very territorial, hungry bears are notoriously uninterested in our notions of private property.

But we don’t have to continue baiting the traps that eventually kill them with needless attractants like bird feeders, poorly stored garbage and unpicked fruit.

These creatures are smart and will figure out where the food comes from, even entering a home and opening a fridge, according to Coquitlam RCMP. If we profess to care about bears, we have to demonstrate it with action, starting with our own backyards.

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

ARE PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE ABOUT BEARPROOFING THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES?

SPORTING LIFE

Diving into the deep end, with possum & cucumbers

S

eeing my children try to navigate their way through various pools across western Canada this summer has forced me to reconsider my distaste for swimming as a competitive sport, mode of transportation and method for taking my kids down a peg or two.

Don’t get me wrong, I love being in the water. As a child in Alberta, I went through the different levels of aquatic training, earning all the colourful swim ANDY PREST badges along the way: Yellow, Orange, Stop Peeing In the Pool, Red, Maroon, Blue, Uncontrollable Boyhood Urges at the Worst Possible Moment, Green, Grey, No You’re Not Freaking Done Yet, Teal, White and, finally, Free Willy.

We learned a lot of useless crap like the butterfly stroke, treading water and CPR, but it was a good enough education to make me feel comfortable doing normal Prairie lake activities like water skiing, freezing, not catching fish and mispronouncing the word “buoy.” As an adult, however, I’ve come to realize that my swimming skills were never really that great, and they’re even worse now that I’m up to about 12% BMI (Bacon Mass Index).

A few years ago, some friends and I were doing sensible things at English Bay beach like ogling strangers and misreading the real estate market when someone suggested we have a swimming race.

One friend, a former lifeguard, ripped off the 200 m distance in a flash. My other pals weren’t far behind. I finished last, having been passed by a pack of sporty looking sea cucumbers.

It’s not that I can’t swim to save my life, it’s just that I now feel much more comfortable in the water if I can always put one foot on the bottom and one hand on a beer.

Maybe it’s those personal shortcomings that have led to my distaste for swimming as a competitive sport. Or maybe it’s just Michael Phelps. Whatever the reason, I’m always bummed during the Olympics when the track and field competition — incredible athletes testing themselves in the purest forms of movement — ends and then the teenagers start preening around the pool in their swim parkas. I don’t trust a sport where 17-year-olds can routinely dive right in and smoke 27-year-olds, or someone can set world records out of nowhere just by using a new space-age fabric, or someone can be Ryan Lochte.

But watching my two boys in the pool has given me a new appreciation of swimming and its competitive spirit. My older son, about to turn seven, is a confident young fellow, fond of listing off all of the things that he is better at than everyone else in the world, particu-

larly his four-year-old brother. That list includes, in his mind at least, important skills such as running faster, reading better, counting higher, dabbing more, getting to sleep faster and smelling worse.

The one place where he can’t claim supremacy is in the pool; his younger brother is, at the moment, a better swimmer than he is, and my older son knows it. There’s no wiggle room there. The young one is not a budding Penny Oleksiak but he is quite comfortable jumping off the diving board in the deep end and making his way to the wall. If the older one tried to do the same, I’d be fishing him off the bottom. Well, at least I’d send some sea cucumbers.

No other sport is so cut and dried about the consequences of failure. You could put a paralyzed possum into the 100 m sprint final in track and field and it wouldn’t win — it would place sixth once the drug suspensions are handed out — but it wouldn’t suffer mortal damage either. Put that same marsupial into the 100 m backstroke final and it is going to die.

There’s no hiding in the pool, and my older son knows it and happily admits to anyone who will listen that his younger brother is a better swimmer. I like the humility that swimming has given him.

It’s a sport with real stakes. Either you’re keeping your head above water or you’re just playing possum.

PROPERTY TAXES

SECURITY

City, province make it tough Be careful with for people to access grants your building’s The Editor, I wonder if I am the only homeowner in Coquitlam who ended up with a penalty after paying their taxes this year.

Here’s what happened.

I have been receiving the senior grant for six years.

This year, I thought I would attempt to pay my taxes online through my bank. I got it to work.

Fast forward to July 27 and I received a letter saying I owed $845 in taxes PLUS a penalty of $42.25 — the $845 was the amount of the seniors grant on my house.

On calling city hall, I learned that I had to go online again to gov.bc.ca/homeownergrant and fill out another form to say I am eligible for the seniors grant.

In this day and age of computers, both the province and the city know my age and that the names on the tax form have not changed for the last six years. I have not got younger.

security when strangers call

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

The letter writer tried to take care of his property taxes online but ran into problems— and a penalty of $42.25 — due to an extra step required to secure the seniors grant. of the tax form along with a whole page of other info, there is a comment that you need to fill out the senior grant online every year. Why is it necessary every year?

I had a chat with our MLA’s

office (the minister of municipal affairs) and was told she has taken other calls about this.

It’s pretty pathetic that the city wants another $45, which, in my opinion, it is not entitled

to. Next year, it’s back to 100% paper payment and I will read the back of the tax form to ensure the city has not added another way to charge a penalty.

DeWayne Chiasson, Coquitlam

The Editor, As a resident of one of the highrise buildings in NewPort Village, I received a phone call on each of three successive days recently from someone presenting themselves as a representative of a gas fireplace cleaning service. Each time, they claimed that our strata council authorized them to be in the building and to contact residents regarding cleaning the fireplaces.

Our strata council has given no such authorization. When I try to call them on the number that shows up on my phone’s caller ID, Telus tells me I have dialled a number that is not in use.

The Telus operator then

told me such sales callers often use a technique to leave a not-in-use caller ID number, so “just ignore these calls.”

I believe this may be a scam to breach building security so someone posing as a fireplace cleaner can gain entry to the building for purposes other than fireplace cleaning — like theft. At best, the caller is presenting false information to promote their business.

At worst, they’re trying a new scheme to breach our security system.

In either event, you could do a lot of people a service by letting them know these calls are not legitimate.

Cost is $8 for adults, $4.25 for children, youths and seniors. Children must be six years or older.

SERVING A NEED

New soccer program lets every kid play Partnership gives kids with special needs a chance to play soccer MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A new program is aiming to get kids with special physical, cognitive or developmental needs off the sidelines and onto the soccer pitch.

Port Moody adaptive soccer is a collaboration of the Port Moody Soccer Club and the Unique Get Together Society.

The program, for kids aged 6 to 16, will run for 10 weeks beginning Friday, Sept. 15.

It’s a chance for kids with challenges to enjoy an activity others take for granted, said Debra Abraham, the executive director of Unique Get Together.

“It’s something they don’t have,” Abraham said. “Regular kids have choice, they have programs. It’s every child’s right to have that choice.”

For Port Moody SC, it’s an opportunity to become more inclusive, said its president, Matthew Campbell.

“Soccer is a tool to help educate our kids and help them become better people,” Campbell said. “We want to create an environment where kids not only love to play soccer, but they also learn some terrific life lessons.”

Those lessons can be as simple as learning to run, kick a ball and fall down.

Abraham said the idea for a formalized soccer program

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Debra Abraham, of the Unique Get Together Society, and Matthew Campbell, of Port Moody Soccer, are preparing to launch an adaptive soccer program for kids with special needs. The program, which is open to kids 6-16 with any kind of physical or developmental challenge, begins Sept. 15. grew from unstructured play on the field and in the gym with kids her society helps. But when she looked around for a program that could give those kids proper coaching to develop their skills even further, none existed in the Tri-Cities.

That’s when she approached Port Moody SC.

Thompson said the program fits in with their mandate to be a community-based soccer program that serves everyone in the community. The club has hired a coach, Francis Chandra, who’s been working with a coach from a similar program in North Vancouver.

So Chandra can focus on de-

veloping the kids’ soccer skills, Abraham said her group will be providing support workers to attend to any special needs they might have. Even kids in wheelchairs are being invited to participate.

“We’ll figure it out,” Abraham said.

That also allows parents to

relax and just enjoy their kids’ accomplishments.

“We’re so focussed on the disability we forget they have abilities,” Abraham said. “This is not about producing soccer stars, this is about them having fun, being a part of their community, creating childhood memories.”

The Port Moody adaptive soccer program begins Friday, Sept.15, from 6 to 7 p.m.

Registration for the 10-week session is $204.50. For more information go to www.portmoodysoccer.com/adaptivesoccer. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

LACROSSE

Jr. B Adanacs headed to national championships Team will play for the Founders Cup after sweeping provincials in Vernon The Coquitlam Adanacs aren’t just the top Junior A

lacrosse team in the province; the Junior B Adanacs also won their provincial title last weekend in Vernon.

The Adanacs won all three of their preliminary round games against the Kamloops Venom, Vernon Tigers and Westshore Bears to earn a spot in the finals on Monday, where they beat Kamloops 9-5.

Chris Turenne was the

game’s most valuable player while Josh Kemp was named the tournament’s MVP. The Adanacs earned a berth in the provincials by marching through the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League playoffs. They dispatched Langley in the bestof-three quarter-final, winning 21-3 and 17-6. Port Moody met the same fate in the semifinals, as Coquitlam beat them

17-5 in the first game and 13-5 in Game Two. After losing the first game of the league final to New West, 10-9, the Adanacs rebounded with two straight wins, by scores of 14-9 and 12-5.

It was the fifth league championship for the Junior B Adanacs since they were founded in 1990.

The team will now travel

to Saskatoon, Sask. to play for the Founders Cup that is awarded to the top Junior B lacrosse team in Canada. That tournament begins Aug. 15 and brings together the top teams from Junior B leagues in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and the First Nations Junior B Lacrosse League, which will be repre-

sented this year by the Seneca WarChiefs from Irving, New York.

Coquitlam plays its first game of the Founders’ Cup on Aug. 15 against the Saskatchewan SWAT. • The Intermediate B Adanacs won their provincial tournament with a 14-5 victory over the Ridge Meadows Burrards, 14-5, in Langley.

Swimmers take their mark at the Simon Fraser Regionals, held last weekend at Spani Pool in Coquitlam. The Port Moody Aquarians will be sending 26 swimmers to the BC Summer Swimming Association provincial championships, to be held in Kamloops next week. They’ll compete in 34 individual events and eight relays. The PoCo Marlins qualified 33 of its swimmers for 69 individual events as well as 14 relay teams. One of those swimmers, Hannah O’Connor, broke a record for the 100m breastroke that had stood for 19 years. Adam Carter, an 11-year-old who swims with the Coquitlam Sharks, won six gold medals in all six of his events.
