Which of These Costly Homeseller Mistakes Will You Make When You Sell Your Vancouver Home?

@PTFRY TWITTER

VANCOUVER — A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

Someone dumped a 'full truck worth' of garbage in a Vancouver park While the City of Vancouver has directed locals to properly dispose of waste materials, recent photographs show that not everyone is following the instruction. Vancouver City Councillor and UBCM Director Pete Fry shared images to his Twitter account recently that show garbage strewn across Strathcona Park. Fry writes that it is the second time he's seen trash dumped in the park, and notes that it is a "full truck worth of domestic loose garbage." Fry adds that the dumping of the household rubbish isn't just a “jerk move,” but that it is a fineable offence. In fact, anyone caught doing so can get slapped with a $500 fine - littering is also prosecutable up to $10,000 in court. The councillor thanks the City of Vancouver, the Vancouver Park Board, and CUPE Local 1004 and shares photos of the park before and after it was cleaned of the garbage. By Elana Shepert

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and — worse — ﬁnancially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

As this report uncovers, most homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

Cheer

This Vancouver block has a 7:02 p.m. 'Patio Dance Party' every night If you thought your community did it up proper for the 7 o'clock cheer, it might be hard to beat Mount Pleasant's nightly "Patio Dance Party." Launched in early April, Patio Dance Party - and its companion Instagram account, the aptly named @patiodanceparty - extends the nightly tradition of making some noise at 7 p.m. in support of essential workers during the COVID-19 crisis. On a patio above 7th and Main Street, the dance party is oﬃciated by a DJ who accepts requests - via Instagram Direct Message, that is. It is the era of social distancing, after all! The dance parties have been bringing the neighbours together, from a safe distance, who are on the sidewalks and their own patios dancing when the party kicks oﬀ at 7:02 p.m. nightly, rain or shine. One of the neighbours is photographer Nura Sheidaee, who says the Patio

Dance Party crew have "brought the energy, the love, and the endless array of fabulous outﬁts." "They have made the nights less lonely," attests the Aussie expat. "They have truly connected the neighbourhood, and have helped me pick up my camera again and focus on all the positivity that I am so grateful to have happening right outside my balcony." Sheidaee has been taking photographs of the Patio Dance Party, which she shared with us. You can also see all of the past Patio Dance Parties on Instagram,which have been saved as highlights for each day's performance. By Lindsay William-Ross

Legendary chef trims his restaurant empire in wake of COVID-19

t's the bittersweet end to a long and storied tenure for restaurateurs and chefs Vikram Vij and Meeru Dhalwala. This week Vij's restaurants announced the permanent closure of their South Granville location, currently home to Rangoli, as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

In March, as the pandemic began to take its toll on Vancouver businesses, Rangoli was initially offering delivery and pick-up at their location at 1480 West 11th Ave. However, operations were soon consolidated out of Vij's Cambie Village flagship location, and will remain as such from now on. "We’re focused on having one strong, committed team in one location, serving both menus," said Vij and Dhalwala in a statement issued May 6. Vij's has been in South Granville for a quarter century. Opened in 1994, the neighbourhood was the original home of the celebrated chef's namesake restaurant, which began on West Broadway before shifting to the West 11th spot in 1996. In late 2015, Vij's officially re-located to the eye-catching building with the lovely rooftop patio on Cambie Street. In closing the 11th Ave restaurant, Vij and Dhalwala have been reminiscing, especially when it came to their now-rescinded 'no reservations' policy and famous faces, as well as their own personal relationships. "[W]e could tell and write so many stories of the joys and adventures we’ve had. For the longest time, Vikram hardly recognized western celebrities and often didn’t know who he was telling 'first come, first served' to. Many of our staff met their lifelong partners while working at Vij’s. We even have a video taken by a South Granville resident of Vikram and Mike (our GM) chasing down a man who came into our crowded lounge and stole a customer's handbag. Our landmark memory from South Granville was when Robin Williams dropped in unexpectedly for dinner, and during his 1.5 hour wait, performed an hilarious impromptu show for those waiting with him. At some point, maybe 20 years ago, Vij’s lounge became our community cocktail party venue. Both our daughters were born in the midst of big renovations at our beloved South Granville location." Right now the plan is to continue to offer dinnertime take-out and delivery service from Vij's on Cambie. Eventually they will resume lunch and dinner service, and will continue to offer take-out and delivery. "We need community more than ever and our Vij’s/ Rangoli family will be so happy to welcome back our community and be in a position to do so with a strong backbone," add Vij and Dhalwala.

Build trust when reopening offices: experts Hr |

Staff accustomed to social distancing won’t feel safe without cautious return

By ChuCk Chiang cchiang@biv.com

ith office reopening now on the horizon for b.c. businesses, the question becomes: what will the post-coviD-19 workplace look like in a world without a vaccine to guarantee immunity? the key word, experts say, is trust. “i think it’s the most important factor,” said kristin Jensen, managing director of the seattle office of global architecture firm gensler. “t he only way that people are going to return is if they trust that the space is safe. and that trust will have to come though things they can see…. masks and hand sanitizers have to be available. there has to be health screening so people are not returning sick. For people to feel comfortable coming back, they need to feel safe and have their circumstances be addressed.”

Bringing offices back to normal after the easing of COVID-19 precautions will take time and careful planning | chung chow

that sense of trust, in a world accustomed to social distancing, means that not everyone will return to work on Day 1, and managers have to have a clear vision of what that Day 1 looks like, said synthia kloot, the vancouverbased senior vice-president of operations at colliers canada. “When we talk about inviting

people back to the office, we’re looking at a number of factors,” kloot said. “is it essential for them to be back in the office? can they perform their job duties while staying remote? are people risking exposure on public transit? Do they have child ca re, or a re they protecti ng people w it h comprom ised

immune systems?” that’s why, she said, it is crucial for offices to not only address the office space itself, but also to assess the needs of the workforce on an individual basis. From there, managers can create shifts – colliers will likely bring different groups of workers back into the office on separate days to ensure adequate space, for example – to ensure safety. kloot said colliers is recommending that clients be as flexible as possible. t hat means possibly using meeting rooms as work spaces to ensure people are not crammed into cubicles, as well as designating doors as entrances or exits only and marking one-way passages to prevent collisions. Jensen added that the flexibility is also needed in case the pandemic lifts, which would allow managers to shrink the space needed for social distancing to bring employees closer together.

she also noted items such as the use of touch less tech nolog y to create a sense of safety for workers. another measure managers should consider, Jensen said, is some sort of visual way for workers to know their office space is being sanitized – either by having cleaning staff work during normal business hours, or by creating a sanitation certification standard that can be displayed as a sign of confidence. Jensen used the U.s.-based certification systems provider Fitwel as an example of a certification that would indicate a healthy working environment to employees. “We want people to come back to this space and connect with each other. We might never go back to the density of work stations, but instead those spaces can be filled with convening spaces – opportunities for people to connect with one another.” •

Factories consider robotics in post-pandemic retooling manufacturing |

Experts say COVID-19 will transform the sector as social distancing persists

By tyler orton torton@biv.com

ebruary marked the opening of FPs Food Process solutions corp.’s newest manufacturing facility in richmond. it added another 80,000 square feet of factory space for the canadian producer of freezing and cooling equipment. march, meanwhile, gave way to the coviD-19 pandemic in b.c., quickly transforming much of the operations on the floor of FPs’ local facilities. “We are lucky that we got a fourth facility in richmond so we were able to spread out our manufacturing team a little further,” said Justin Lai, the company’s vice-president of sales and marketing.

Workers on the floor are abiding by social distancing, lunches are split up to reduce the number of people in the break room and sanitization teams are cleaning up the lunch area between those breaks. overtime hours have also been reduced in anticipation of potential slowdowns in the coming months. but FPs has not laid off any workers during the pandemic; it has instead hired some additional staff. “the food industry is fairly resilient in that people need to eat,” Lai said. but not all manufacturers have been as fortunate, according to andrew Wynn-Williams, the canadian manufacturers & Exporters’ (cmE) vice-president for b.c.

he said some companies have been able to push through during the pandemic, with orders coming through as they always would or else pivoting their manufacturing capacity to a market in need. o t h e r m a n u f a c t u re r s a re “treading water,” while a third group is in trouble, Wynn-Williams added. “but i would say the smallest group is the group that’s in real trouble,” he said. as the economy begins to ramp up and more return to work, Wynn-Williams said workers can expect more staggered shifts to ensure social distancing as well as requirements to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Wynn-Williams said additional investments will need to be made in new machinery to compete with

other nations that are also ramping up operations as restrictions loosen. that might mean more robotics used on the floor of factories to boost productivity, while workers’ duties are in turn redistributed. at vancouver-based seaspan shipyards, the shipbuilder has significantly reduced the number of employees working within the cramped confines of submarines, while crews have been spread out across ships to ensure social distancing. Employees have also been instructed not to gather at gates for entry and exit, while those who need to work near each other are required to don appropriate PPE. and for workers who remain uncomfortable coming to the job site following the new safety

measures, they’ve been told they can stay at home without job repercussions, according to seaspan cEo mark Lamarre. Factory workers should be prepared for employers to deploy contact tracing in a bid to mitigate any potential workplace outbreaks, according to Walter Pela, kPmg’s b.c. regional managing partner. t hat mea ns hav i ng people maintain logs of who they interact with daily so that if there is a case of coviD-19 on the floor, factories can quickly trace it. “in some jurisdictions you’re seeing very good use of digital technologies to deal with that,” Pela said, “but even absent those, a manual log of people being more attuned to who they’re coming into contact with [would work].” •

How to safely expand your social circle with eased distancing restrictions PROV OF B.C.

in B.C.

hile British Columbians are no doubt excited to begin expanding their social circles come mid-May, Dr. Bonnie Henry says it’s important to start slow and continue to be cautious. Last week, Premier John Horgan announced the province would be taking its ﬁrst steps to ease oﬀ some COVID-19 restrictions, beginning after the Victoria Day long weekend. The plan includes reopening a variety of businesses, under new guidelines to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, along with allowing people to spend more time with others.

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.

Help us raise

1million

While no orders had been made to stop people from socializing — outside of restricting events and gatherings larger than 50 people — Provincial Health Oﬃcer Dr. Henry has consistently urged people to stay home and stick to hanging out with those in the same household. That messaging is changing come mid-May. “Expand your circle, in New Zealand they've been talking about 'double your bubble,'” Dr. Henry said during Thursday's daily press conference.

“Don't make it two people one night, and four people who are diﬀerent the next night. What we want to do is make sure that we increase our social connections with the people who are close to us, but that we are very mindful that if we have connections, we are then connected with their connections, and that increases our risk.” Additionally, those who spend their time with elderly people, or with those who are immunocompromised, should think twice about getting too social. “If I am somebody who has an elder who's living with me, then I want to be more cautious about what I'm doing or if I'm going back to work and my children are going to daycare, or they're going to spend time with their grandparents, then maybe we don't have them have playdates with other children right now,” Dr. Henry said. “We still need to be cautious, this is not going back to where we were in December where we had multiple mixing and congregating. We still want to keep close.” While B.C. has done well in “ﬂattening the curve” and reducing transmissions over the past two

months, allowing for the phased-in reduction in restrictions, the risk of a spike in transmissions remains until a vaccine is developed. A “second wave” of cases in the fall is of particular concern. “Maybe there won't be a second wave, but every other pandemic in recorded history has had at least two waves, some more,” Dr. Henry said. “Whether the second wave will be more severe than the ﬁrst, whether there'll be a series of smaller waves, I don't know. I don't think anybody knows... What I do know is we need to keep putting the pressure on this virus to make sure it doesn't take oﬀ and that means we can't expand our circles too much in the coming weeks and months.” But for those needing some more social interaction in their lives, some reprieve is coming in the next couple of weeks. “Hug your grandparents if they're 'your people,' hug your friends if you haven't seen them, the friends that you've chosen to be each other's bubble, and of course, hug your family, your household, every day,” Dr. Henry said.

Ricky Gervais helped fans of a local beer raise thousands for a special pig

ack in February, comedian Ricky Gervais singled out Vancouver brewery Parallel 49's Ruby Tears on Twitter for being "the best I'd ever tasted."

PLANT SALE

For a bit of a lark, the "Yeast" Van-neighbourhood brewery did temporarily rename (re- rename?) Ruby Tears "Ricky's Tears" on their taproom menuboard.

"We would like to donate 25 cents per pint of Ruby Tears and $1 from the sale of each sixpack province-wide to an animal charity of his choosing," shared Parallel 49. Gervais chose Esther the Wonder Pig, a social media darling with over half a million Instagram followers and a Hollywood movie deal, who hails from across the country. Last week, P49 revealed the fundraiser has wrapped up and Esther and the eponymous sanctuary she calls home is the beneﬁciary of $8,000. "Thank you for stepping up Ricky and to all of you P49 and Esther fans for raising funds for the sanctuary to continue its mission of compassion for animals during these tough times," said Parallel 49. Esther has two human 'dads' - Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter - who thought they'd adopted something called a 'teacup' pig - which didn't actually exist. Their new little Esther was going to grow up to be a big, commercialsized pig.

When it became obvious there was no longer room in their small Georgetown, ON home for their two dogs, two cats and the growing Esther, the couple took the plunge and crowdfunded to buy a 50-acre farm sanctuary just outside of Campbellville, ON. The Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary is now home to 65 animal residents, all of whom were abused, neglected, or abandoned farm animals.

Parallel 49 calls their Gervais-inspired fundraiser a tale of supporters "enjoying Ruby Tears for a great cause, and a new-found friendship between a Vancouver brewery and an Ontario Wonder Pig!" Gervais is currently still scheduled to appear in Vancouver August 26 and 27 as part of his "Supernature" tour, however it is unclear if the show will be able to go on. The venue and promoter have not yet cancelled the event, however it seems likely large gatherings will remain restricted in B.C. for the forseeable future due to COVID-19, putting the event in jeopardy. Additionally, it is not known if border crossing and self-isolation restrictions will remain in place into August in Canada or B.C.

VPD Chief Adam Palmer tweeted about a rather strange discovery on May 8, after police responded to a call of a man with a machete involved in a ﬁght in the park.

5% of weekend plant sales will be donated to a local school.

Palmer writes that oﬃcers discovered four replica guns, two machetes, and an axe with nails in it. In addition, they found an eight-foot-long boa constrictor.

Palmer playfully adds that, "You can't make this stuff up." “Every call in policing is different, and this is a call responding officers will never forget,” says Constable Tania Visintin, VPD. “It was shocking for officers to find the snake, but the number of weapons they discovered is also very concerning.” Police arrived in the park at around 12:30 p.m. The suspects in the fight had dispersed. Officers were directed to a tent by witnesses, where they initially found the snake and some weapons in plain view. As the investigation progressed, officers found additional weapons, including a loaded shotgun, a crossbow, machetes and more. Animal Services responded to seize the snake. One suspect is in custody in relation to the police call about the fight. The investigation is ongoing. By Elana Shepert

VANCOUVER DEPARTMENT STORE CHAIN

ARMY & NAVY IS CLOSING PERMANENTLY

he ﬁve Army & Navy stores that owner Jacqui Cohen temporarily closed on March 18 will never reopen, she announced last week.

"After an incredible 101 years, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close Army & Navy," she told Glacier Media on May 9 in an emailed statement. "In March, we were forced to shutter all five of our stores and temporarily layoff our staff. We had hoped to re-open but the economic challenges of COVID-19 have proven insurmountable."

She expressed gratitude toward her staﬀ for their years of service, her suppliers and her customers. "It is hard to comprehend," she said. "This time last year we were celebrating the centenary of Army & Navy – a company my grandfather started in 1919 – and we were looking forward to the years ahead. Now we are closing a company that was at the heart of eight communities in western Canada over its 101 years." Cohen noted that the retail sector has changed dramatically during the past century but never faced a challenge like the global pandemic. The Christian Labour Association of Canada sent Glacier Media a statement saying that it would be working with Cohen to ensure fair severance packages for 83 of its members who worked at the Vancouver and New Westminster locations, and Cohen said that she will spend the immediate future working to ensure that her staﬀ have support. "I will then be focusing on the philanthropic work of Face the World, an organization I created 30 years ago to support our city’s most vulnerable,

and most importantly, my family, which has recently grown by one." Cohen told us last year that one of her proudest accomplishments is that she has not sold her family’s real estate holdings. Among the prized properties is the 13-storey Dominion Building, which was the tallest commercial building in the British Empire when it was completed in 1910. It was assessed in January at more than $42.6 million. Her Point Grey Road mansion was assessed at almost $40 million in 2019 but fell in value to close to $32.6 million in January. She owns the real estate under all of her Army & Navy stores except for the one in Langley, as well as a patch of undeveloped land in Port Coquitlam and a home near the University of British Columbia, where her mother, Marlene Cohen, lives. Holdings also include most of the block around the Cordova Street store – properties such as the Hildon Hotel, a parking lot and a head oﬃce building. She told Glacier Media last year that she had thought about redeveloping her Cordova Street properties but decided against it because she did not want the hassle of dealing with the City of Vancouver. Cohen's grandfather, Sam Cohen opened his ﬁrst storefront on Hastings Street in Vancouver in 1919, when he was 22 years old. His father had operated the Jacob Cohen and Sons store, which was also on West Hastings Street. Sam Cohen mostly sold military surplus goods and his philosophy was to buy cheap, sell cheap

and pass on a great deal to the customer. That business plan found success, and he expanded his business to be Canada's first discount department-store chain, with nine stores and a mail-order business throughout Western Canada. Cohen, who took over her grandfather's business from non-family managers in 1998, reveres her grandfather. A large framed photo of Sam Cohen sat on a side table in her office when Glacier Media interviewed her last year. Her father, Jack Cohen, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was in his late teens. As a result, his father wanted to protect him by not forcing the management of the business on him, said Cohen, who turned 65 years old last year. When Sam Cohen died in 1966, he left his fortune to his three grandchildren in trust accounts that were each valued in the eight figures. Cohen was six years old at the time. She said she did not think that her grandfather had it in mind that she would take over the family business. The plan was that her brother would run the company. Tragedies, however, struck her siblings. Cohen's brother, Jeffrey Cohen, died of a drug overdose at age 26, in 1978. Her sister, Karen (Kayce) Cohen, then died at the age of 28, after losing control of her Ferrari on the Stanley Park Causeway in 1982. “Needless to say, when I got to 30 [years old] it was quite a relief,” Cohen told Glacier Media in 2009, when Army & Navy was celebrating its 90th anniversary.

Vancouver WAS Awesome The Birds' Paradise was an aviary at the home of Charles E. Jones at 5207 Hoy St. Thousands of birds and 35 diﬀerent wild and domestic species lived in the sanctuary and gladly posed with visitors, children, dogs, and even politicians. Following the death of Mayor Gerry McGeer midway through his term in 1947, Jones won the mayoral election, but died himself later in the year.
