NUMBER 18

Jonathan Bacon’s killer McBride sentenced to life; Jones and Khun-Khun get 18 years each THE three accused in the August 14, 2011 murder of Red Scorpions leader Jonathan Bacon – Jujhar Khun-Khun of Surrey, Michael Jones of Gibsons, and Jason McBride of North Vancouver – who had pleaded guilty on Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kelowna were convicted and sentenced on Wednesday.

The three accused were arrested on February 22, 2013, and charged with the first-degree murder of Bacon as well as four counts each of attempted murder.

Manjinder “Manny” Hairan, 29, who was shot dead on January 15, 2013, in Surrey, was also involved in the Kelowna shooting.

Bacon, Larry Amero, a fullpatch Hells Angels member from White Rock, and James Riach of the Independent Soldiers along with two women, one of whom is related to several Hells Angels members in Haney, were attacked in Kelowna.

While Bacon was killed, Amero and the two women sustained non-lifethreatening injuries. Riach, who was also injured, fled the scene.

On April 19, all three had their charges amended by BC Prosecution Services. Apparently facing all kinds of legal challenges in the case, Crown decided on a plea deal to get convictions in the case.

The new indictment was before the BC Supreme Court in Kelowna

Jonathan Bacon on April 20 for a first appearance and was adjourned to May 1 when all three accused entered guilty pleas.

On May 2, the accused were sentenced based on a joint submission of statement of facts by BC Prosecution Services and defence counsel, resulting in the following: - McBride pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder and attempt to commit murder of four individuals.

He was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 18 years. He will also serve a concurrent 15-year sentence for the attempted murders. He will receive credit for time served in pre-trial custody.

- Jones pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to 18 years, with credit for time served he will serve a sentence of 10 years.

- Khun-Khun pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to 18 years, with credit for time served he will serve a sentence of 10 years.

“The investigation into the murder of Jonathan Bacon and the attempted murders of Larry Amero, James Riach, Lyndsay Black, and Leah Hadden-Watts was extremely large and complex. Over the past six and a half years, hundreds of dedicated and committed officers and support staff from numerous agencies have been involved,” said Assistant Commissioner Kevin Hackett, Chief Officer of the CFSEUBC, on Wednesday. “Today will hopefully bring some comfort to the community and all of those adversely impacted by the violence that took place on that summer day in 2011.

It should also serve as a reminder to those involved in perpetrating gang violence that we will be relentless and resolute as we help bring those individuals who threaten our communities with gun violence to account.”

CONTINUED ON 2

Security footage shows James Riach jumping out of the Porsche SUV being driven by Larry Amero as two gunmen emerge from a Ford Explorer and fire away at the SUV. The SUV crashes into the side of the Ford Explorer and drives on, hitting the side of the building and coming to a stop as the gunmen give chase. Jonathan Bacon, who has fallen out from the door of the passenger’s front seat, lies in a white shirt on the ground at the back of the SUV. According to witnesses, one of the gunmen went up to Bacon and shot him at point-blank range while the other gunman approached the driver’s side of the SUV and fired into the vehicle. Paramedics attended to Bacon.

“When these types of violent crimes occur in our towns and cities it can have a dramatic impact on the people who live, work and visit them,” says Superintendent Brent Mundle, Officer in Charge of the Kelowna RCMP. “Today’s convictions and sentencing is a testament to the hard work of investigators from multiple police agencies to hold those responsible accountable, and to protect the communities we serve.”

IN June 2017, it was revealed that former associates of the three charged with the first-degree murder of Red Scorpion gang leader Jonathan Bacon – Jujhar KhunKhun of Surrey, Michael Jones of Gibsons, and Jason McBride of North Vancouver – would be testifying against them at the trial that had gotten underway at the B.C. Supreme Court in Kelowna.

Last September, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Allan Betton released his detailed ruling explaining why he had dismissed a defence motion last June to stay charges against the accused on the basis of a breach of their right to be tried within a reasonable time. In the ruling, he provided more information about those who had agreed to testify against the accused.

The ruling noted: “The police investigation into the incident, assigned the name Project E-Nitrogen, began almost immediately.

Investigators very quickly recovered the burnt remains of the suspect vehicle, linked to Mr. Jones, as well as clothing linking the three applicants [Khun-Khun, Jones and

Larry Amero

Sukh Dhak

Sandip Duhre

McBride] to the shooting. The firearms used in the incident were recovered in November 2011, and security video from the Grand Hotel and surrounding businesses yielded further evidence regarding the movements of additional vehicles of interest on the morning of the incident.”

The ruling revealed: “In December 2011 and again in May and June 2012, Manjinder Hairan gave statements to police detailing his role in the shooting, as well as that of the three applicants and a number of Mr. Hairan’s associates. Among the associates were AZ and LO (both of whom … later became cooperating witnesses for the Crown).”

The ruling said: “By the time of a PTC [pre-trial conference] on January 9, 2015, the Crown’s approach to proving its case against the applicants had evolved as the first of four individuals who had previously denied any involvement in or knowledge of the shooting provided witness statements and agreed to testify for the Crown.

That witness was AZ, who gave several statements to police in

late January 2014, and entered into a limited immunity agreement (“LIA”) in May 2014. As AZ was in custody on an unrelated matter, the Crown advised that disclosure could not occur until arrangements for his security were put in place some months later.

“While this was going on the police were engaged in trying to secure the cooperation of other witnesses in addition to AZ. Those efforts were successful and two further witnesses agreed to testify for the Crown. LO had begun engaging in the LIA process in January 2015.

He provided several statements to police between April and June 2015, and his LIA was finalized in December 2015. He also waived his informer privilege at that time.

However, the relevant disclosure could not be made until [redacted], and safety concerns related to his status as a cooperating Crown witness were addressed, which occurred in January 2016.

“MN had given a witness statement to police in March 2015. Given [redacted], investigators were of the view that disclosure related

to MN could not occur until the disclosure related to LO could also be made.

“The cooperation of these witnesses led the Crown to change its trial strategy. Instead of seeking the admission of Mr. Hairan’s hearsay statements, it would now rely on the circumstantial evidence of AZ and the two new witnesses to prove the identity of the perpetrators, what came to be known in this application as Plan B. The Crown informed the applicants in a brief letter dated September 24, 2015 that it would no longer be seeking to rely on Mr. Hairan’s hearsay statements.”

The ruling also stated: “In June 2016, a further witness came forward to cooperate. HU [redacted], and began engaging in the LIA process with E-Nitrogen investigators.

He provided statements in June and July 2016, and an agreement was finalized in August 2016.”

Kasimir Tyabji-Sandana pleads guilty to attempted acetyl fentanyl possession KASIMIR Tyabji-Sandana of Calgary, son of former MLA Judi Tyabji who married former B.C. leader of the opposition Gordon Wilson, on Monday pleaded guilty to attempting to possess acetyl fentanyl, a less potent version of fentanyl.

Tyabji-Sandana appeared before the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench and entered the plea. His two sisters and mother were in court.

He will serve a two-year, less a day, conditional sentence in B.C. with the first eight months as house arrest, the next eight months with a curfew and the remaining five months as probation.

The Crown described the incident as a “dark period” in Tyabji-Sandana’s life. He was 27 at the time. The Crown said he is now ashamed of the embarrassment he’s caused himself and his family, CBC reported.

Tyabji-Sandana was arrested and charged with one count of importing a controlled substance after a drug bust in Calgary in 2015.

Calgary Police said in a press release that on July 14, 2015, a Border Services Officer at the Canadian Border Services Agency’s Vancouver International Mail Centre intercepted a parcel declared as a “muffler” that was destined for a Calgary resident.

As the officer was conducting an examination of the parcel, an unknown white powder was found and the officer suspected it to be fentanyl.

The officer sent a sample of the unknown substance to the CBSA Laboratory, which confirmed her suspicion and CBSA engaged the support of the RCMP to further the investigation. The RCMP then began working with Calgary Police Service and on July 22, a warrant was executed on a Calgary residence in the 2400 block of 14 Street S.W., resulting in one arrest.

Through the investigation, 122 grams of fentanyl was seized with an estimated value of $348,000.

TYABJI described her son’s arrest

in detail on Facebook at the time, but believed that her son was set up. Here is part of Judi’s version of her son’s innocence on her Facebook: “All of the evidence against Kaz is in front of the court: his name was on a package shipped to his Calgary apartment. This package came from China, and contained fentanyl. It was intercepted in Vancouver, where the police removed the fentanyl, replaced it with a benign substance and resealed it. An undercover police officer delivered the resealed package, which had Chinese characters on it, to Kaz’ Calgary apartment. He signed for it, and put it on the counter.

“Minutes later, the Calgary

drug police, fully armed, broke into the apartment. Kaz tossed the package out the window.

Kaz was thrown to the floor and arrested, and his apartment was fully searched. No drugs, no paraphenalia and no weapons were found. Kaz cell phone and laptop were seized and yielded no evidence related to drugs of any kind. His bank records and credit card records showed he barely had money for his travel home, and had no evidence related to drugs of any kind.

“Some time late in 2017 a judge will have a chance to decide if this is evidence for fentanyl importation. Kaz told the police he had never heard of fentanyl before.”

City of Surrey to blame for failure to deal with peacocks in Sullivan Heights

PARM Brar deserves our sympathy for putting up with an unbearable situation involving more than 100 peacocks that the City of Surrey should have dealt with years ago.

Brar, in utter frustration, was left with no choice

but to cut down the tree in which the birds roosted.

In fact, Jas Rehal, the city’s manager of public safety, told the media that it was his understanding that the peacocks took off from one of the farms in the Sullivan Heights area when it was developed into the subdivision and that the city tried to capture the peacocks in 2010 but failed.

So why blame a hapless resident who had to put up with dozens of the birds who covered his property with their droppings. His dad slipped on the poop and ended up breaking his arm and badly cutting his

face. His kids can’t play in the yard and he can’t use his deck.

Sure, he broke the rules for cutting down the tree, but that was only after trying every method to control the birds – such as by using nets – without injuring them. He spent three years pursuing the matter with the city, but all in vain. Brar was issued a $1,000 fine for cutting down the tree. After the city receives a report from its staff, it will then decide whether it will take the matter up in court or fine Brar and the contractor who cut down the tree up to $10,000. Brar had applied

for a tree-cutting permit but was turned down.

Of course, because Brar is a brown guy, you can expect many racists to try and blow the whole thing out of proportion.

The City of Surrey should be ashamed of its inefficiency and lack of initiative to deal with this problem all these years!

Comment by Ken Smith at voiceonline.com: The peacocks have lived in the neighborhood since the late nineties, a bit of research would [have] helped the home owner find this out. Mr. Brar could

[have] also trimmed the branches to [a] height the peacocks could not have reached, in doing so keeping the beautiful tree in the neighborhood and solving his issue. I live in the neighborhood and can agree they can be a nuisance. Is Mr. Brar going to remove the train tracks next as trains run along 64th Ave and blow their whistle at the intersection at all hours of the night?

Comment by Andy at voiceonline.com He did trim the branches but unfortunately you can only trim so much accord-

ing to the law and that didn’t solve the problem either, and by the way there is a big difference between 40 peacocks sitting on the tree and dripping all over the property vs a train that comes once a night. I live couple houses down from him and you can barely hear the noise of the train.

I know how he feels about the peacocks because I’m dealing with the same problem. You should go ask the city how many trees they chop down every day, leaving tons of birds and animals homeless or even killed.

Violent events sparked off by Gurmit Dhak’s murder still reverberating CONTINUED FROM 2 had said in his opening statement in court that former associates of the three charged with Bacon’s murder would testify that the three accused and Hairan were in Kelowna to kill Amero, Bacon and Riach after learning that they were partying there.

The Lower Mainland gang war that was raging involved the Dhak-Duhre group and United Nations

gang, on one side, and the ‘Wolf Pack’ of some Hells Angels with Independent Soldiers and Red Scorpions.

Gurmit Dhak, described as a charismatic gang leader by police, was shot dead in 2010 and that started a whole chain of violent events that are still reverberating.

In January 2012, Sandip Duhre was shot dead in a blatant assassination in a downtown Vancouver hotel bar and later a ruling by a

B.C. Supreme Court judge revealed that Riach was one of the gang members seen at the scene.

Gurmit’s brother, Sukh, who was himself shot dead in 2012, blamed Amero and Riach for his brother’s death and wanted revenge.

One of the former associates of the three accused told the court last year (as reported by the Kelowna Daily Courier) that the Dhak brothers used to present beads like white gold balls

with Chinese characters to their crew.

These probably cost about $5,000 to $6,000 per set.

He testified that it was mainly Gurmit’s crew that possessed them and that after his death, Sukh started presenting them to his crew. Gurmit also gave a set to Khun-Khun.

The witness had also testified that Sukh texted “Congratulations, LOL, go have a drink” when he heard that Bacon had been killed, the

IN January, Vancouver Police arrested Amero, now 40, for one count of conspiracy to commit the murder of Sandip Duhre and one count of conspiracy to commit the murder of Sukhveer (Sukh) Dhak.

Amero, a resident of Ottawa, was arrested with the assistance of the Ottawa Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Biker En-

forcement Unit. He will remain in custody in Ontario until he is transported to B.C. to face the conspiracy charges.

Dean Michael Wiwchar, 32, was charged with one count of murder in relation to the murder of Sandip Duhre and one count of conspiracy to commit the murder of Sukhveer Dhak.

Thirty-year-old Rabih “Robby” Alkhalil is charged with the murder of Sandip Duhre.

900 crashes daily in B.C.: Police will target speeders during May IN 2016 alone, there were 330,000 crashes in B.C. – that’s 900 crashes per day.

And the number of crashes and claims have been growing steadily over the

years.

On top of that, the costs of those claims are ballooning and injury claims costs alone are now close to $3 billion a year.

May 1 marked the launch of a month-long campaign urging drivers to slow down.

Police are targeting speeders during the month of May, including a province-

wide enforcement blitz on May 19.

ICBC will be working with Speed Watch volunteers, who will also be set up in B.C. communities to en-

courage drivers to slow down.

The campaign also includes radio advertising and social media.

High-risk driving behav-

iours, like speeding, distracted driving and running red lights, are a concern for all demographics of drivers.

Parm Bains to run for Richmond Council THE Richmond Community Coalition on Friday introduced its first four candidates who will run for Richmond City Council team in the municipal election in October 2018 and they included well-known South Asian activist Parm Bains.

The other three candidates are incumbent councillors Ken Johnston and Chak Au and new candidate Melissa Zhang.

“Thanks to the Richmond Community Coalition’s success in engaging residents during the 2014 election, the Coalition elected two Councillors. Working together, Ken and Chak were able to steer a divided city council to initiate an internal city spending review,” said Coalition President Rob Howard. “With a balanced team of experienced candidates and fresh ideas, a Coalition-led council will deliver a more open, transparent, and positive city council reflective of the tremendous potential of our multicultural city.”

Parm Bains said: “As a lifelong resident of Richmond, I’m tired of my friends moving out of Richmond. Tight-knit families and friends are being torn apart, and grandpar-

ents are driving across the region just to visit their children and grandchildren.”

He added: “I am committed to being part of a constructive, solution-oriented government that welcomes everyone to be a part of planning a great city made up of strong and vibrant communities.”

Born in Victoria, Parm’s family moved to Richmond when he was a year old. Parm

has been serving British Columbia as a public service worker and an active member of the community at large for over 20 years.

He has extensive work experience within the Government of British Columbia where he served for 14 years as a Media Relations Officer and a Public Affairs Officer in the Public Affairs Bureau and the Government Communications and Public Engagement Department.

Parm’s proactive approach towards identifying issues and fostering relationships between government and community allowed his outreach accomplishments to extend across several initiatives for education, business, seniors, at-risk youth and sports.

He continues to serve on a variety of boards representing academia and the social sector and also remains actively involved in Richmond’s sports community where he continues to volunteer his time towards a variety of coaching and mentorship roles.

Parm’s efforts have not gone unnoticed.

In 2005, he received a Community Service Award from the Province of British Columbia, followed by a selection to BC’s Top 100

Influential Indo-Canadians by the Vancouver Sun Newspaper in 2008 and then a Premier’s Innovation Award for Organizational Excellence from the Province of British Columbia in 2011.

In 2010, he earned a Master of Arts degree in Professional Communications with a specialization in International and Intercultural Studies from Royal Roads University in Victoria.

Presently, Parm is an Applied Communications Instructor with the School of Business at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

He lives with his wife and two children in Richmond.

The Richmond Community Coalition said it is committed to making local government more efficient, more accountable and more responsible. The Coalition was established to increase voter turnout and encourage City Hall to engage local citizens more in government. Its Board of Directors and Governance Committee comprise a wide range of community activists, with long records of community service to Richmond.

Brampton tax preparer Ajay Sharma sentenced for fraud THE Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on Thursday announced that Ajay Sharma of Brampton was sentenced in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton on April 27 to a conditional sentence of two years less a day, three years of probation, and a court imposed fine of $96,946.

Sharma pleaded guilty on September 25, 2017, to one count of fraud over $5,000 under the Criminal Code.

A CRA investigation revealed that Sharma, as owner and operator of a tax preparation business, S & S Associates, prepared 100 fraudulent individual tax returns for 37 clients for the years 2009 to 2012. In the preparation of his clients’ tax returns, Sharma created fictitious business losses totalling $2,577,221, resulting in the evasion or attempted evasion of a total of $488,178 in federal taxes. Sharma personally benefited $96,946 from this scheme by charging his clients a percentage of the unwarranted refunds they obtained from the CRA. To maintain Canadians’ confidence in the fairness of our tax system, the CRA says it is determined to hold tax evaders, and those that facilitate tax evasion, accountable for their actions. Between April 1, 2006, and March 31, 2017, the courts convicted 55 tax preparers for tax evasion related to their tax affairs or those of their clients. The courts sentenced the tax preparers to over $4.6 million in fines and 703 months of jail time.

If you have made an omission in your dealings with the CRA, made a tax mistake or left out details about income on your tax return, the Agency may give you a second chance to correct your tax affairs and avoid criminal prosecution. The Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) may give you the opportunity to come forward, make things right, and have peace of mind. Disclosures that are made before the CRA launches an enforcement action such as an audit or criminal investigation may only result in you having to pay taxes owed plus interest. More information on the VDP can be found on the CRA’s website at Canada.ca/taxes-voluntary-disclosures.

CNIB celebrates a century of change in Surrey MORE than 150 guests, donors, staff, clients and volunteers helped CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) celebrate its 100th anniversary on April 28 in Surrey. The event held at the Atrium at Surrey City Hall focused on the charity’s storied past – and looked ahead to a bold, ambitious future for people with sight loss in Canada.

Surrey singer Aman Gill, who goes by the stage name Anya and has been blind since childhood, entertained the crowd with her inspiring songs.

Says Jennifer Yankanna, CNIB Manager of Programs and Services, “I was very pleased when Anya volunteered to provide the entertainment. She lost her sight when she was three months old and has always had a passion for music.

She is an amazing young woman, currently studying at Capilano University to become a music therapist.�

Over her lifetime Anya has received many hours of instruction and services from CNIB, including white cane train-

ing and being part of a peer support group. She is just one of the thousands of clients CNIB provides services to every year.

Another highlight of the event was the presentation of Century of Change Awards. The certificates and medals thanked CNIB volunteers for all they do as ambassadors, vision mates and office volunteers.

CNIB was founded in 1918 by veterans

and advocates who believed in ability and equal opportunity for people who are blind. Since then, CNIB has led and contributed to major advances in programs, services and human rights for those it serves.

As CNIB enters its second century, it’s more driven than ever before to create the future its founders imagined.

ond language.

For more than 23 years, Punjabi Language Education Association (PLEA) has been promoting Punjabi in BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools, post- secondary institutions and the community. It has been very successful in this regard. As a result of PLEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, Punjabi classes are under way in eight high schools and four elementary schools in Surrey and many other places in Metro Vancouver.

Second language is compulsory from grades five to eight and optional from grades 9 to 12. The Surrey School District conducted a survey in October 2017 in all of its elementary schools in order to determine interest in a second language. The survey was sent to the parents of grades 2, 3 and 4 and offered a choice of 10 languages as the option for second language. These were: French, Punjabi, Mandarin, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, German, Italian, Aboriginal and ASL (American Sign Language).

Forty-eight per cent of the survey participants that reponded chose French, whereas 21 % chose Punjabi. Fourteen per cent preferred Mandarin and 9% went for Spanish. The rest were between 1 and 3 %.

The district administration submitted a report about these findings to the Board of School Trustees. As a result of this, they recommended two elementary schools where there was a good potential for Mandarin and two were recommended for Punjabi. The two schools where Punjabi has a good potential are T.E. Scott (7079-148th Street) and Chimney Hill (14755-74th Avenue). In order to firm up these numbers, the school district administration has sent another survey to the parents of grade 4 students in both of these schools asking them if they will be interested in enrolling their child in a Punjabi class in grade five in September 2018.

On behalf of Punjabi Language Education Association (PLEA), I would like to urge parents of grade 4 students of both T.E. Scott and Chimney Hill Schools to fill in the survey form, mark Punjabi as a second language choice for their child and return the form to the school of their child as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, they should do this immediately. If any parents did not get the survey form they should contact the school and follow up. This is an excellent opportunity to ensure that our children get enrolled in the Punjabi class of their school. For further information they should feel free to contact me at 604-836-8976 or Sadhu Binning at 778-773-1886.

Surrey RCMP launches new partnership to support at-risk youth BEGINNNING this June, Surrey RCMP will partner with Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) on a new initiative to help assist youth who are in conflict with the law.

Car Yankee 30 (Y30) involves an RCMP Youth officer and a MCFD Youth Probation worker working together to ensure youth are complying with court ordered conditions and assist in explaining these conditions to them and their guardians. Car Y30 will also support and facilitate referrals to other appropriate services and agencies and provide specialized knowledge and resources to front line officers.

“Surrey RCMP has worked in partnership with youth probation workers throughout the years, but we hope this new initiative will improve our front line response to youth at risk and have a positive impact on youth criminality,” says Community Support and Safety Officer, Inspector Wendy Mehat. “This is part of our long-term strategy of working with community partners to provide at-risk youth and their families the support they need in order to break the cycle of criminality and be productive members of our community.”

Surrey RCMP Youth Unit officers also continue to help kids at a young age build an early rapport with police through a number of ongoing initiatives.

Project Hi 5 is an elementary school engagement initiative where officers give “highfives” and interact with students they come in contact with during their visits to elementary schools. Since September, Youth Unit officers have already given out over 1,000 high fives while making regularly visits to speak one on one with Grade K-7 youth during the school day.

“This project isn’t just about giving a high five and walking away,” says Surrey RCMP Youth Unit Corporal Ivan Lee. “A high five is just one of the small things that we do to break the ice with kids which then leads to further one-onone interaction and discussion on a number of topics relevant to the students.”

Officers will also be involved in the upcoming Citizen and Youth Academy, which is now accepting youth applications from May 1-31, and continue to participate in ongoing Code Blue and Mini Blue Programs.

Electronic reporting helps Surrey RCMP crack down on property crime TWO recent arrests in connection with property crime in Surrey came as a direct result of the new electronic reporting. Investigators received information which allowed them to track down property stolen and identify two persons of interest.

On April 17, the Surrey RCMP’s Property Crime Target Team (PCTT) arrested two men in connection with four break and enters which had occurred in Surrey between January 1 Superintendent Shawn Gill and April 17.

Charanjiit Sahota, 32, has been charged with four counts of breaking and entering, three counts of trafficking stolen property and four counts of stolen property.

Baldeep Gill, 29, has been charged with two counts of breaking and entering and one count of possession of stolen property.

On January 1, the City of Surrey modernized the Secondhand Dealers and Pawnbrokers By-law to include electronic reporting. The bylaw, which has existed since 1997, requires pawnbrokers and scrap metal dealers to report all property they intake to police. The newly adopted electronic reporting has been designed for automated comparison with information entered in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC).

This has streamlined the process for investigators allowing Surrey RCMP to more efficiently track stolen property.

The use of electronic software was fully implemented in Surrey on March 1. Since that time, suspects have been identified in 17 investigations of theft and break and enter from Surrey, Mission, Delta, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Langley. Stolen property worth approximately $21,500 has also been recovered.

“With the implementation of the RAPID (Regional Automated Property Information Database) software, we are providing Surrey RCMP with real time information to help assist them in their investigations,” says Jas Rehal, Manager of Public Safety Operations for the City of Surrey. “This is another example of the strong partnership between the Surrey RCMP and City of Surrey Bylaw Enforcement that are leading to positive results for our community.”

“Working closely with our City of Surrey Bylaws partners and using new technology to modernize existing resources is helping us deter and curtail property crime in the community,” says Superintendent Shawn Gill, Community Services Officer. “Residents can help us continue to have reductions in property crime by recording the serial numbers or identification markings of their valuable items whenever possible.

This will allow us to potentially track these items should they become lost or stolen.”

New elementary school, two additions to existing schools, land to build another school for Surrey A new elementary school, two additions to existing schools and the land needed to build another school will help ease overcrowding and improve classroom conditions for students in Surrey, Premier John Horgan announced on Mon-

day.

“Surrey students and their families have been waiting too long for new classrooms for their growing school district.

The wait is over. We’re getting it done,” said Horgan. “We are delivering the safe

and comfortable schools kids in Surrey deserve.”

The Ministry of Education is investing almost $64 million to: * build a new elementary school in the Douglas area of South Surrey; * expand Frost Road Elementary and Coyote Creek Elementary schools in Fleetwood; and * buy land for a future elementary school in Grandview Heights.

“We have been working hard to accelerate the approval of capital and seismic projects throughout B.C.,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Education. “These three projects and the land purchase will relieve pressure on the surrounding schools in Surrey, reduce the number of students learning in portables, and make life better for students, educators and parents.”

The new $24.3-million, two-storey elementary school will be built beside Dufferin Park, and will accommodate 605 students. It will have a Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) with two

John Horgan Photo by Vinnie Combow child-care rooms, as well as project, media and technology spaces and outdoor washrooms. This school will help relieve enrolment pressure at nearby Hall’s Prairie Elementary, Pacific Heights Elementary and South Meridian Elementary. Construction is expected to start in March 2019 and be completed by December 2020.

“Our board has been pushing hard and working closely with Minister Fleming to obtain funding for new school spaces for our students, so it is wonderful to see the government making these investments,” says Surrey Board of Education Chair Laurie Larsen. “I know our trustees join our students, staff and parents throughout the Surrey School District in welcoming the announcement, and we all look forward to the next one.”

The $5.6-million addition at Frost Road Elementary school will create six classrooms, with space for 150 more students. Four portables currently at the school will be removed at the end of construction.

Coyote Creek Elementary school’s $4.9-million expansion will add four classrooms, creating 100 new spaces for students. Two portables will be removed once the project is complete.

Construction at both Coyote Creek and Frost Road is expected to begin in April 2019, with completion anticipated in June 2020.

These three projects, combined, add up to 855 new K-7 spaces in Surrey.

The Province is also investing $28.9 million to purchase land for a future elementary school, at the southeast corner of 20th Avenue and 165th Street. The school will be needed to accommodate the growing number of students in the South West Grandview Heights area, and will relieve pressure at the existing Sunnyside Elementary. The Surrey School District is contributing $1.4 million toward the site purchase.

Including Monday’s announcement, the government has invested $107 million for two new elementary schools, three additions, two seismic upgrades and a site acquisition since September 2017. These include a new $24-million, 655-seat elementary school in Grandview Heights, and a $9-million, 300-seat expansion at Pacific Heights Elementary school.

Quick Facts: * Budget 2018 invests a record $2 billion in school capital projects over the next three years. * As of September 2017, the Surrey School District has 70,736 students in K-12, the highest student enrolment in British Columbia.

Trudeau welcomes Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement to create 3,000 jobs in Vancouver searchers studying artificial intelligence and deep learning. * The Government of Canada recently launched Invest in Canada, a new federal organization dedicated to attracting job-creating investment and

PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday welcomed Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement that it will create 3,000 new jobs in Vancouver. Combined with the 1,000 new jobs announced by Amazon in November 2017, this will bring the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce in Canada to over 9,000 employees.

Trudeau said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement is a testament to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly-skilled, diverse workforce and tremendous potential as an innovation and tech hub. Tech talent and investment are coming to our country in record numbers, and companies like Amazon are bringing even more energy, vision â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thousands of good jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Canada. We are proud to champion these companies, who invest in our talent and the future of our economy, and create new opportunities for Canadians to succeed.â&#x20AC;?

In a statement, Trudeau said that Canada is known for its excellent post-secondary institutions and robust high-tech sector, which produce top-tier talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion will help Canada develop and retain talented students and professionals, create good, well-paying middle class jobs, and grow our economy.

PREMIER John Horgan and Bruce Ralston, Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology, said in a statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement

by Amazon reflects the strength of British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and the talent of our people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This investment will advance B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellearned reputation as an innovation hub, and will promote growth in all sectors of our economy, in all regions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;B.C. is a sound place to invest. Last week, Standard and Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmed B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;AAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long-term credit rating. In March, British Columbia had the lowest unemployment rate among the provinces at 4.7%. B.C. leads Canada in year-over-year wage growth. And B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GDP growth is the highest among all provinces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must make sure everyone benefits from the wealth our province creates. Our government will reduce inequality, provide fair conditions for workers, grow and diversify our economy, and open the doors of opportunity for people.â&#x20AC;?

Light Rail Transit Vehicle Showcase in Surrey offers street-level view of the future

JITENDRA DESAI M.A., LL.B.

NOTARY PUBLIC Serving the community for over 20 years

604-325-5272 Fax:604-325-5237 (L-R) Councillors Mike Starchuk and Tom Gill, Mayor Linda Hepner, Anita Huberman – Surrey Board of Trade CEO, Caitlin McCutchen – Kwantlen Student Association President, Phillip Aguirre -Newton BIA Executive Director, Jinny Sims – Minister of Citizens’ Services and MLA for Surrey-Panorama, Councillor Vera LeFranc and Elizabeth Model – Downtown Surrey BIA CEO. SURREY Mayor Linda Hepner and Surrey City Council launched the Light Rail Transit Vehicle Showcase at Central City Mall on Wednesday. On hand for the launch were community, business and student advocates in support of Surrey Light Rail Transit.

Over the next nine weeks, Surrey residents will have the opportunity to explore the LRV and see what future transit technology will look like.

“By having a Light Rail Transit Vehicle for our residents to explore will allow them to see firsthand the urban-style LRT that is coming soon to Surrey,” said Hepner. “Light Rail Transit is the technology of choice for cities in Canada and around the world looking to modernize its urban transit network. This sneak peak of what is to come in Surrey will allow our residents to learn more about LRT and how it is an integral component of Surrey’s city building vision.”

The Light Rail Transit Vehicle will be on display at several locations between now and July 1 including Newton, City Centre, Guildford, the Surrey International Children’s Festival and the Canada Day Celebration in Cloverdale.

Anita Huberman, CEO, Surrey Board of Trade, said: “The Phase 2 investment plan for the 10Year Vision to fund vital major transportation projects in Metro Vancouver will ensure that Surrey, finally, will get the needed transportation investments that the city so desperately needs. Light Rail Transit through leading edge technology will ensure Surrey is a destination and that the South Fraser economic region is connected.”

Elizabeth Model, CEO, Downtown Surrey BIA, said: “More Transit and better transportation is essential to Surrey and indeed Metro Vancouver and BC, to protecting and improving our economy. The movement of people to and from school, work and the movement of goods and services are all vital part of a transformation we must make for the now and future generations.”

The demonstration vehicle is an example of the wide selection of light rail cars available for LRT projects. The actual light rail car for the SNG LRT project will be selected through an open and competitive procurement process.

Surrey LRT Vehicle Showcase: * May 2-11: Surrey Central City Mall – 12-6 p.m. * May 13-23: Newton Superstore Parking Lot – 12-6 p.m. * May 25-26: Surrey International Children’s Festival (Bear Creek Park) – Friday: 9 a.m.2:30 p.m. / Saturday: 10:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. * May 28-June 1: Surrey Civic Plaza – 9 a.m.-5 p.m. * June 9: Surrey Doors Open at Surrey Operations Centre – 10 a.m.-4 p.m. * June 11-22: Guildford Town Centre – 12-6 p.m. * July 1: Canada Day Celebration (Cloverdale) – 10 a.m.- 9 p.m.

Immediate action on enforcement, rates to benefit container trucking industry THE Province is delivering immediate relief for Lower Mainland container truck drivers by expediting tougher enforcement, and taking steps to improve the rate structure.

“Our government has heard clearly from the container truck industry that more needs to be done, urgently, to help make things better for truck drivers, and we’re taking action,” said Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, who added that drivers haven’t seen a rate increase in four years. “We’re putting more money in the pockets of drivers by increasing trip rates and hourly wages, and empowering the commissioner to look at the overall rate structure. These are the first of many steps we are starting immediately to make sure Canada’s busiest port runs as efficiently as possible while ensuring the sector’s long-term stability and competitiveness.”

These actions support and advance the commitments made by the Province with the adoption

of the 14-point Joint Action Plan, and will contribute to the future stability of container truck operations at Port of Vancouver terminals. These commitments include: * Getting tougher on enforcement. The B.C. container trucking commissioner will have more capacity to enforce and investigate existing regulations with more auditors and investigative support, to ensure everyone in the industry is following the rules. * Putting more money into the pockets of drivers. Effective June 1, 2018, trip rates and hourly wages will be raised 2.6% for licensed container truck drivers serving the Port of Vancouver, and the minimum daily call-out rate will be raised to $300, from $200. These rates have not changed since 2014. These rate increases will be enforced through the office of the commissioner. * Taking a closer look at the overall rate structure. The commissioner has been directed to consult with industry on the sector’s regulated

TransLink details $7.3 billion in transportation investments TRANSLINK on Monday released details of the $7.3 billion investment in Metro Vancouver’s transit and transportation system through the Phase 2 Investment Plan.

It said that this historic level of transportation funding will ensure Metro Vancouver can meet the needs of residents, commuters, businesses and be better prepared to accommodate the addition of another one million people to the region over the next 30 years.

The TransLink Mayors’ Council has reached an agreement on a regional funding model with the Province of British Columbia for Phase Two of the 10-Year Vision.

The Investment Plan includes: * Extension of the Millennium Line and construction of six new SkyTrain stations along Broadway from VCCClark to Arbutus Street. * Construction of the Surrey-NewtonGuildford LRT Line along 104th Avenue, City Parkway and King George Boulevard. * Planning and design for SurreyLangley rapid transit. * 108 new SkyTrain cars for Expo and Millennium Lines, as well as 95 replacement cars for the existing fleet. * Increase Expo and Millennium Line service during rush hours, mid-day, and weekends starting in 2019. * Increase Canada Line service during rush hours, evenings, and weekends starting in 2020. * Modernization of Expo-Millennium Line infrastructure including upgrades at Brentwood and Burrard Stations. * 8% increase in bus service to carry more passengers on 75 different bus routes. * Two new B-Lines in Richmond and Surrey. * New bus service in Vancouver, Surrey and North Vancouver. * Over 150 new buses as well as replacement of existing fleet. * 7% increase in HandyDART service. * $75 million for rehab and upgrades to the Major Road Network. * $50 million for pedestrian and cycling improvements. * Planning on potential Burnaby Mountain Gondola, rapid transit to UBC, and other future potential projects.

rate structure, including looking at payments on a round-trip basis and the regulation of off-dock trips, and delivering final recommendations to the minister in fall 2018. * Continuing to monitor the implementation of

the Tag Management Policy. The commissioner will continue to assess the policy, introduced in January 2018, and its impacts on industry. The commissioner will consider improvements by fall 2018.

ROAD RULES

Saturday,May 05, 2018 | Indo-Canadian Voice

End of the classic VW Beetle design â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe?

Cedric Hughes THE International Geneva Motor Show has been held annually in Geneva, Switzerland, since 1905. Organized by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Automobiles, as Wikipedia describes it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is considered an important major international auto show having hosted almost all major internal combustion engine models in the history of the automobile, along with benzene- and steam-powered cars from the beginning of the century. â&#x20AC;Ś Prototypes, new equipment, technical breakthroughs, international partnerships, as well as political and social debates, have been announced at the exhibition.â&#x20AC;?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show (March 8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18) followed this grand tradition focusing as it did on electric vehicles, self-driving technology, and an unprecedented level of horsepower and luxury. Numerous sources online highlight the amazing prototypes introduced this year, but the two things that caught the attention of Road Rules could be described as almost book-ending the history of the automobile, if history can also be said to include futuristic visions.

The first was the announcement by Volkswagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of research and development, Frank Welsch, that its iconic compact, variously named (in the English-speaking world) the Volkswagen Type 1, then the Beetle and the Super Beetle or the Bug or Super Bug will not be replaced when the current production-cycle ends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two or three generations is enough now,â&#x20AC;? he was quoted as saying.

Named in 1999 by the Global Automotive Elections Foundation as the fourth most influential car of the 20th Century, â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Model T was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Number Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Volkswagen Type 1 was mass produced from 1945 to 1979, then in second generation modeling from 1997 to 2011, and in third generation starting in 2012. Perhaps the best indicator of this announcementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact was the call for calm implicit in the reminder that no specific date has been given for the end of production

cycle for the 2012 generation, and that, as it did in the past in its two-decade hiatus between the 1970s and 90s, the Beetle could resurface.

Furthermore, Volkswagen also promised in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;heritageâ&#x20AC;? slot an upcoming electric Microbus, blending â&#x20AC;&#x153;retro styling with a high-tech battery-powered drivetrain that promises long, strange 300 mile trips between charges when it goes on sale in 2021.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;ŚBut, in short, and sad for many, the announcement of the possible end of an era.

The second futuristic announcement, however, involved a new beginning with a novel, highly innovative tire called Oxygene from Goodyear: a 3-D printed tire filled with living moss that can soak up water from the road and through photosynthesis release

oxygen into the air thereby im- ditionally, the rubber matrix plans yet in place, nevertheless proving air quality.

Ć?Ć&#x161; ĹśÄ&#x161; Ć&#x152;Ä&#x161; And, in the tradition of the classic whitewall tire, the Oxygene will have a light strip functioning as a more infor Ä&#x201A;ůůͲ DĹ˝Ć&#x152;Ć&#x161;Ĺ?Ä&#x201A;Ĺ?Ä&#x17E; ŽŜĆ?ƾůĆ&#x161;Ä&#x201A;ĹśĆ&#x161;Í&#x2022; mative signal system to other vehicles and pedestrians than a SBKBO!NPSUHBHFHSQ DPN traditional turn indicator.
