A Nanaimo-based com-pany calledTilray is bring-ing its Mobile Cannabis

Clinic to Burnaby on June12.

The company said theidea behind the rollingmedical pot clinic is to helpconnect patients with phy-sicians who can addresstheir questions and con-cerns about medical mari-juana.

Philippe Lucas,Tilray’svice-president of patient re-

search and advocacy, saidthe whole goal of the clinicis to provide increased in-formation, education andaccess for patients whomight not otherwise haveit.

“We really hope this pro-vides a valuable servicefor prospective patients,for members of the gener-al public who might want

more information aboutthe use for a loved one, andhealthcare practitioners,”he told the NOW.

Tilray is still working outthe details for the specificlocation in Burnaby and isurging the public to checkits website in the comingdays for updates.The clinicis offering the service freeof charge.

Inside the clinic, the com-pany said prospective pa-tients will be able to dis-cuss with a licensed doctorwhether medical cannabistherapy is appropriate forthem. Lucas noted therewill be no marijuana onsite, but anyone who is ap-proved for the use of medi-cal pot can get their orderprocessed, if they choose to

use the company as theirsupplier.

The clinic is doing across-country tour throughthe summer, stopping in anumber of communities,including more than a halfdozen in B.C.

Every big city has one, adowntown.

InVancouver, the down-town is a financial and en-tertainment hub mixed witha diverse range of residents.

The City of Burnaby ishoping to join the ranks ofthe big players, and is con-sidering creating a down-town of its own in Me-trotown.

The Metrotown Develop-ment Plan update is a docu-ment that lays out a visionfor the area for the next fewdecades, including a focuson Metrotown becomingthe city’s downtown.

According to a staff re-port, the vision for Me-trotown is “to establish anexciting, inclusive and sus-tainable downtown forBurnaby; one comprised ofwell-connected neighbour-hoods that provide a senseof place and communityidentity; provide major of-fice, business, tourism andemployment opportunities;provide a variety of housingchoices; provide civic, recre-ational and cultural ameni-ties and facilities that servethe needs of the Metrotowncommunity and Burnaby asa whole.”

The idea is part of an over-all update to the city’s Me-trotown Development Plan.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal saidthe city knows the area willbe a mix of residential, retailand commercial space, butnow officials want to knowwhat people think of Me-trotown as a downtown.

He sees Metrotown be-coming the city’s financialcentre, with shopping, ho-

tels and entertainment fa-cilities, including amenitieslike a convention and per-formance centre. Dhaliwalsaid a downtown is a natu-ral progression for a city thesize of Burnaby.

“I think we want to startgetting people to think‘what would you like if thiswas to be known as thedowntown of Burnaby,’” hesaid, noting the plan is stillin the early stages.

Dhaliwal said the planstill needs more details, likewhere the boundaries willbe and the different densi-ties for development.

“There seems to be a fairamount of demand nowfrom our development com-munity to see what’s goingto be the future,” he said.

The report noted someof the land use changes in-clude concentrating thehighest densities and great-

est mix of uses in the down-town core and along theKingsway corridor.

Other areas that are pro-posed to be re-designatedfrom single-use to mixed-use include: Royal Oak Av-enue, south of Kingsway;Beresford Street, east ofTel-ford Avenue; and ImperialStreet, between Nelson andDunblane avenues.

Metrotown is one of four“quadrants” or town cen-

tres the city is focusing onfor a majority of the newdevelopment in Burnaby tomeet the regional growthstrategy.

The city is now work-ing on the public consulta-tion part of the plan aftercity council recently got achance to view it.

But the plan has also be-come ground zero in thebattle over developmentand the “renoviction” issue

in Burnaby.A group of housing activ-

ists have started Stop De-movictions Burnaby, whichis trying to halt develop-ment of older low-incomeunits in the Metrotownarea.

One of the group’s rec-ommendations calls onthe city to scrap the Me-trotown plan and create

METROTOWNDOWNTOWN? RickMcGowanof theMetrotownResidents’ Association is opposed to theproposedMetrotowndevelopmentplan.Hebelieves theplanwill lead tomoredisplacementand“demovictions”of low income renters in theneighbourhood. PHOTOCORNELIANAYLOR

As housing activists con-tinue to fight against de-velopment in Metrotownand the loss of rental stockin the area, at least oneBurnaby Citizens Associa-tion (BCA) member is call-ing out the civic party and,more specifically, city coun-cil for abandoning theirroots as a social democrat-ic party.

Murray Martin, a mem-ber of ACORN Burnaby,a housing advocacy group,

said he’s also a memberof the BCA and suggestedcouncil and Mayor DerekCorrigan are only interest-ed in representing devel-opers, unions and propertyowners.

“They don’t representrenters or homeless people,”he told the NOW. “They’renon-citizens as far as thecity’s actions go.”

ACORN is one of severalgroups that has joined forc-es to create the Stop De-movictions Burnaby cam-paign, which is trying to haltredevelopment of older low-

income units in the Me-trotown area.

Martin argued the waycity council is handling de-velopment in Metrotown isakin to what a far right-wingparty might do.

“It’s not the party ofTommy Douglas or SvendRobinson,” he said, notingtwo well-known NDP fig-ures in politics.

Martin said he’s not theonly BCA member dissat-isfied with council’s direc-tion, adding he only sees thesituation changing if BCAmembers start to realize the

party is fairly conservative.He also suggested there is

no political opposition, add-ing any party on the right orleft of the BCA will have ahard time because the par-ty gets support from bothunions and developers.

The BCA has certainlyproved to be a financial andpolitical juggernaut.

For the last three elec-tions, the party has snaggedevery council and schoolboard seat.

In the 2014 civic election,the party netted $484,649in contributions.The Burn-aby First Coalition raisedjust $28,344.

The largest BCA con-tributors were trade unions,making up almost half ofthe party’s donations with$161,325.

Corporations accounted

for $144,100 of the BCA’sfunds, withThind Proper-ties Ltd. leading the waywith $20,000, followedby McAllister Develop-ments ($10,000) and Ama-con Management ServicesCorp. ($7,500).

Amacon is one of thecompanies targeted by theStop Demovctions Burnabygroup for buying up a num-ber of older apartments onDunblane Avenue with theplans to demolish them andbuild a new tower.

CityapartmentsiteofhugefentanyldrugbustEight-month long investigation uncovered operation that spanned three Lower Mainland [email protected]

More details haveemerged from a police in-vestigation that includedthe bust of a large fentanylprocessing lab in Burnaby.

OnThursday, Delta Po-

lice announced charges re-lated to an eight-monthlong drug investigationthat spanned three com-munities, while showingoff some of the evidenceseized in the process.

Included in the evidencewas 125 grams of the dead-

ly drug fentanyl, recoveredfrom a unit in a townhousecomplex in the 6800 blockof Prenter Street.

The raid took place inMarch and was describedas the biggest fentanyl bustin B.C. to date.

Delta Police spokes-

person Sgt. Sarah Swal-low said the apartment wasused as a fentanyl process-ing lab, but investigatorsare not sure why the unitwas chosen.

None of the people ar-rested and charged in thecase were from Burnaby.

Police also provided pho-tos from inside the apart-ment that show some ofthe mess left behind in thelab.

Swallow said the apart-ment was used to turn fen-tanyl into fake heroin tosell, noting about $300

worth of fentanyl can beturned into a kilogram ofheroin selling for $80,000.

The risk to the publicand residents in the com-plex was not insignificant,police noted.

a handful of cities in theLower Mainland for theclinic because the commu-nity is close toVancouver,and people may have heardabout medicinal marijua-na but not found a goodsource or level of comfortto pursue treatment in thecity.

He expects a lot of in-terest in the mobile clin-ic, noting other clinics arecharging prohibitively highfees for the service.

And if this round of clin-ics works out, he said it’spossible the mobile pot

clinic could make a returntrip to Burnaby.

The company’s web-site said the mobile clin-ic will include physicianswho will be available to as-sess whether individualsare suitable candidates formedical cannabis authori-zation, authorize medicalcannabis for those deemedqualified, answer ques-tions about medical can-nabis and how it can be le-gally accessed in Canadaand provide informationaboutTilray and the medi-cal cannabis regulations inCanada.

Nurseshold ‘vigil’ atcentreGeorge Derby Centre is laying off all of its nursing staff and says it willhave to hire non-union lower paid staff in an effort to cut [email protected]

The B.C. Nurses’ Unionheld a vigil outside of aBurnaby care home forveterans, protesting thecentre’s move to lay off allof its nursing staff.

The vigil, held last Tues-day, drew hundreds ofnurses from all over the

province who were in townfor a union convention.

“These seniors are vet-erans and they’ve servedour country.We owe themthe best quality nurs-ing care,” union presidentGayle Duteil said in anemailed statement to theNOW. “The executive di-rector of George Derbyis using vulnerable veter-

ans as pawns in his finan-cial dispute with Fras-er Health. Now, he’s gotthe yo-yo effect happen-ing - we’re going to con-tract out, we’re not goingto contract out. It’s an un-acceptable strategy for se-niors’ care, and they de-serve better.”

The layoff notice wentto 54 nursing staff May 9.

Executive director RickyKwan said he would haveto contract out nurs-ing care if he doesn’t getmore funding from Fras-er Health. Kwan then saidhe would hold off on thecontracting-out process.However, he said he wouldstill meet with potentialcontractors but he wouldnot sign any deals until hespeaks with Fraser Health,most likely in early June.

Paul Ballinger, chair ofthe centre’s family council,said the rally was a nicegesture of support fromnurses to nurses.

“It just showed they arereally trying to show theiremotional commitment totheir colleagues,” he said.

George Derby housesroughly 300 residents, halfof whom are veterans.

“If someone were to getinto the apartment and notknow that’s what they werewalking into, then there’sa huge risk,” Swallow said,noting the fire departmentand the RCMP’s CLEAR(Clandestine Laborato-ry Enforcement and Re-sponse) team needed towear protective gear in theapartment.

Exactly who owns theapartment is still unclear,but it’s not in police pos-session any more. Swallowsaid the cleaning bill could

exceed over $100,000.Some of the items seized

in the investigation fromthree residences in Rich-mond, Surrey and Burna-by included, nine firearms(and two silencers/suppres-sors), $1.5 million in cash,approximately 4.5 kg ofheroin, approximately 12kg of cocaine, more than4,500 oxycodone pills and1 kg of methamphetamine.

Two men, Scott Pipping,35, of Surrey and AdamSummers, 27, from Deltawere arrested for multipletrafficking charges.

A Delta man and Rich-mond man were also ar-rested and charges arepending.

In most cases, fentanyl,which is tasteless, colour-less and can be 100 timesmore powerful than mor-phine, is dyed and mixedwith or sold as heroin onthe streets.

The drug has beenblamed for hundreds ofoverdose deaths in the re-gion and across the coun-try in recent years.

SharpelbowsnotthewholestoryIt’s not what most Ca-

nadians think of whenthey hear the words“bench clearing.”

But the allegations arethat Prime Minister JustinTrudeau “manhandled”a Conservative MP andelbowed an NDP MP inthe House of CommonsWednesday.

We turned to social me-dia and CPAC video andfound ourselves watchingthe donnybrook in slow-

mo replay like NHL ref-erees reviewing a chal-lenged play.

Almost all agree the el-bowing was unintention-al – but also that it nevershould have happened inthe first place.

Justin Trudeau apolo-gized, and rightly so.Wedon’t need a display of hiswell-known pugilistic tal-ents in the House. It wasan embarrassing and dis-tinctly unparliamentary

moment.Following the Westmin-

ster tradition, the gov-ernment and Oppositionbenches in Parliament are3.96 metres apart – saidto be two sword lengths

– the idea being the twosides will debate the is-sues of the day withoutever resorting to violence.

Of course, if we’re en-tirely fixated on the badbehaviour of the PM,

we’re missing the biggerpicture of what happenedin this sorry display.

At issue was the Lib-erals’ controversial leg-islation on doctor-assist-ed dying. It deserves afull debate – somethingthe Liberals had tried tolimit. And the NDP ap-peared to be obstructinga Conservative MP fromreturning to his seat tostall a vote.

Perhaps if all parties

showed a little more re-spect for democracy,stunts like this wouldn’tescalate in the first place.

In the meantime, weadvise JT to take a deepbreath, remain in his seatand get on with the seri-ous business of the na-tion.

Housingnowared-hot issue

An unusual issue will like-ly be front and centre in thecoming election campaign,but it’s not entirely clear how– or even if – it will impactthe eventual result.

I’m referring to the red-hot housing market in MetroVancouver, which was prob-ably the most talked about is-sue during the just-complet-ed spring legislature session.

For now, at least, few issuesso clearly illustrate the philo-sophical differences betweenthe B.C. Liberals and theNDP as does the debate overwhat action the B.C. govern-ment should take when itcomes to addressing the wild-ly expensive housing pricesthat have taken root in muchof the MetroVancouver area.

The housing market is justthat: a market.And the freeenterprise coalition that is theB.C. Liberal Party is loathe topush government into inter-vening to any great extent ina marketplace, lest such ac-tion leads to unintended con-sequences.

Whereas the NDP, long fa-vourites of government inter-vention in the economy in allsorts of ways, is calling for agovernment-imposed specu-lation tax of two per cent, anda tax on vacant property.

NDP housing critic Da-vid Eby and Finance Minis-ter Mike de Jong clashed onthe housing issue on the sec-ond-to-last day of the sessionlast week, during debate onthe spending estimates for deJong’s ministry. Check outthe recorded proceedings asit’s a good summary of thepositions the parties will putbefore the voters next spring.

Eby cites a few dozen

economists’ calls for somekind of tax on “internation-al money” coming into thehousing market and notessome have expressed fearthe insanely expensive hous-ing prices means companiescan’t attract employees to livehere, which can eventuallyhave a big negative impact onthe local economy.

Eby wants the govern-ment to take aggressive ac-tion against foreign purchas-ers who may not even beliving here, and has accusedde Jong and the B.C. Liberalgovernment of essentially do-ing nothing on the file.

But de Jong’s main coun-terpunch is that there is a lackof firm data on just who ex-actly is buying property andwhere they originate from.He maintains without thathard information, it’s danger-ous to conclude that foreigninvestors are solely to blamefor escalating housing prices.

De Jong also insists that in-creasing the supply of hous-ing is the key to solving theproblem.

The NDP is clearly bettingits demand for direct govern-ment intervention is an ap-pealing message, but remem-ber that older people (manyof whom own homes andare now sitting on proverbi-al gold mines) tend to votein far greater numbers thana younger crowd frustratedabout not being able to getinto the market.

Housing has never been adominant issue in B.C. elec-tions.We’ll find out in lessthan a year from now wheth-er that still holds true.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Burnaby needs topreserve housing mixDear EditorMayor Corrigan is usingdensity ashis justification for the teardownof affordableapartments inMetrotown. I don’t have aprob-lemwithdensification, and I can seeBurnabyisworkinghard todo its share in densifyingthe LowerMainland.My concern is thatwearedoing it bybuild-

ing condo towers in areas zoned formulti-unithousing already. The result is puttingpeoplethat live inBurnabyout of the rentalmarkethere. The zoning in at least some single-unitresidential areas has to change to affordablemulti-unit housing so thatwe canmaintainandgrowmixedhousing inBurnaby.Weneedhousing for all tomakegood

communities: singles and families, rich andpoor, youngandold, apartments, co-ops, rowhouses and single-family residential housing.The tearingdownof affordable three-storeyapartment buildings toput in condo towershas gone far enough. Leave someaffordablerentals inBurnaby and startworkingonget-tingmoredensification in single-family areasfromzoning changes.Vicki Rasmussen,Burnaby

Mayor failing to showleadership on housingDear Editor I attended theBurnaby citycouncilmeetingonMonday,May 16. Thepre-sentationby theStopDemovictionsBurnabycampaign inMetrotownwasheardbyMayorDerekCorriganand city council. It stressedthatmanyBurnaby citizens are suffering frombeing forcedout of their homes and commu-nity because theCity of Burnaby is allowingdevelopers todemolish affordable rentalapartment buildings andevict the tenants.The grouppresenteda report titled “A

CommunityUnder Attack” that highlights theexperiences ofmany residentswhohavebeenunfairly pushedout to the edgeof homeless-ness. Volunteerswith the StopDemovictionsBurnaby campaign surveyed60people ontheblocknortheast of Dunblane and Impe-rial in Burnaby.Mayor Corrigan’s response tothepresentationwaspolite, but he showedalackof leadershipbynot engaging the report’sprimary recommendation toput amorato-riumonanymoredemovictions. Hewas askedto stopdemovictions andbegin a communityplan and consultwith peoplewhoaremost af-fectedby city-organizedanddeveloper-drivendisplacement. His responsewas to send thereport to city staff.I havebeenaBurnaby resident for over 30

years, and I amdisgustedwithDerekCor-rigan’s lack of leadership onMondaynightand council’s lack of engagementwith thepresenters. Insteadof engaging in a conversa-tion together, they simply put it off to staff formore research.Weneedactionnowsoall thecitizens of Burnabywill know that themayorand city councillors care about them, not justtheoneswhoare rich. It is noteworthy that ofthe 60people surveyed for the report, not oneindicated theCity of Burnaby reachedoutwithany kindof assistance.Weare in ademoviction crisis situation, and

theCity of Burnaby is ignoring it. The researchis alreadydone; it is time for actionnow.Earl Pollitt, Burnaby

Arsonsuspected incityfiresHome garage and wood pallets at Kin’s Farm Market set ablaze

It was a busy weekend for Burn-aby firefighters, as the departmentbattled two suspected arsons in thecity.

The first was Saturday night at11:30 p.m., at a home in the 2000block of Paulus Crescent in NorthBurnaby.

Burnaby assistant fire chief Bry-an Kirk said crews were calledto the home to find smoke andflames coming from a garage inthe back of the property.

The blaze was quickly putout, but the garage suffered ma-jor damage.While the rest of thehome was spared, Kirk noted therewas extensive smoke damage, and

the residents living there have beenforced out until the home can beremediated.

He said the cause of the firehasn’t been determined, but it ap-pears suspicious and is under in-vestigation.

Firefighters were back at it againearly Monday morning fightinganother suspicious fire, this time atthe Kin’s Farm Market in MarketCrossing.

Crews were called to the busi-ness at 3:30 a.m. and found agroup of wooden pallets on fire.

Firefighters were able to stopthe blaze from spreading into thebuilding, but Kirk noted there was

quite a bit of water and smokedamage.

No one was injured in eitherof the one-alarm fires, and bothcould have been worse, Kirk said.

He said the department hasdealt with a spike in suspiciousfires in the South Slope area re-cently, pointing out the majorityhave been in abandoned buildings.

The department has been in-structed to call the RCMP any-time there’s a fire in the area.

In January 2015, the MarinePub and Brewhouse on MarineDrive burned down in a suspectedarson case.

MORREY NISSAN4450 STILL CREEK DRIVE, BURNABY

TEL: (604) 291-7261

DamageDone:Thievesusedavehicle to smashthrough themetal doorsoftheDeer LakeBoatRental shedonMay18. Thesuspectsonlymadeoffwith$30but causedthousandsofdollars indamageto thebuilding.

PHOTOCONTRIBUTED

[email protected]

While theVictoria Daylong weekend wasn’t exactlypicture perfect in the weath-er department, it was stillnice enough to take in someof the recreational activitiesoffered in Burnaby.

But one popular busi-ness that helps get peopleout onto the water of DeerLake, almost didn’t openup for the weekend, thanksto some very determinedthieves.

LastWednesday (May18), Deer Lake Boat Rent-als was broken into in anunusual way.

At about midnight,thieves decided to ram theirtruck into the steel doorsof a shed at the business onSperling Avenue.

The suspects or suspectmanaged to bend the doors

enough to get inside. Inless than a minute, the thiefmade off with a cash regis-ter containing $30 in coins.

“The good thing is noone got hurt and they didn’tdestroy anything else,”said the business’s ownerDamien Liu.

The entire break-in wascaught on surveillance vid-eo.

While the crooks got awaywith very little, the damageis hardly chump change.

Liu estimated the damageto the door and the repairto the city-owned build-ing to be about $6,000 to$10,000.The business alsohad to remake a sign andreplace the stolen cash reg-ister.

“I can’t imagine whatthey [the suspects] werethinking,” he said, add-ing the business has neverbeen targeted like this since

he took over as operator 15years ago.

But Liu is crediting thecity for helping his businessget back on track.Within acouple days the door wasfixed and the business wasready to open just in timefor the long weekend.

Meanwhile, local Mount-ies are investigating thebreak-in.

Burnaby RCMP StaffSgt. Maj. John Buis saidthere are tire tracks on thelawn of the property, but nowitnesses to the crime.

He said it’s not unusu-al for someone to use a ve-hicle to help in a break-in,but noted it’s typically busi-nesses that have re-enforceddoors.

“This is odd, but it’s oneway to do it,” he said, sug-gesting the truck shouldhave some damage from theimpact. “So, a lot of work

for nothing. It’s just damagebut that’s unfortunate be-cause it takes a while to re-pair.”

Buis noted there were no

other similar crimes report-ed in the area that night.

The suspect is describedas a South Asian man, 20to 25 years of age, stand-

ing five-feet 10-inches tall,wearing a black baseball capand white sweatshirt.

Are you not hearing clearly whena group of people are talking?Many people find that they are nolonger able to understand everythingbeing said, particularly when in thecompany of others. Engineered inSwitzerland, the Audéo V hearingaid has been designed specifically tounderstandspeech ingroupsituations.

The majority of those surveyed statedthat when exposed to considerablebackgroundnoise they are able to hearthat something is being spoken, butcan no longer discern precisely whatis being said. The words seem blurredand indistinct. But why is that? Theeffect tends to manifest itself in groupsituations, especially in restaurants. It isthe high-pitched tones perceived at theentrance to the cochlea that determinewhenyouhear things accurately. In themajority of cases theseparts of the innerear are the first to be affected by noiseor aging.As the high-pitched tones areno longer perceived well, the auditorycentre of the brain begins to struggle todecode language. It’s a bit like an imagethat doesn’t have enough pixels.

Citynow

a new community plan thatfocuses on current residentsmost vulnerable to displace-ment and dedicate city-owned land to social hous-ing.

Rick McGowan, of theMetrotown Residents’ As-sociation, said he was dis-appointed to see the plancome out without any con-sultation with residents orthe public.

He said residents in Me-trotown have been askingfor an updated plan since2010, without hearing fromthe city.

“I’m disappointed inthe process,” he said, add-ing that to him it feels likethe city is trying to rush theplan.

The city wants the planadopted by the end of 2016.

McGowan suggestedthere are 680 units either

threatened or already de-molished in the neighbour-hood, and he suspects thenumber will increase underthe plan.

“Our biggest concern isthat it’s going to speed upthe displacement of low in-come renters in the May-wood area,” he told theNOW, noting the plan iscalling for more highrises inthe area.

He also questioned

whether Metrotown waseven a good fit for down-town, arguing downtownslikeVancouver happen or-ganically and are made upof all people from all walksof life.

“If it’s a downtown atthe expense of low incomerenters, then I’m not real-ly interested in it happeninghere,” McGowan said.

But the downtown ideais getting an early warm re-

sponse from the businesscommunity.

Burnaby Board ofTradepresident and CEO PaulHolden suggested amenitieslike a convention or perfor-mance centre could have apositive impact on businessin the area.

Whether focusing on onearea as a downtown couldtake away from the oth-er areas like Brentwood orLougheed, Holden said he

would understand the wor-ry but added the city is usu-ally good at considering thebusiness community’s con-cerns.

“The goal is to makesure that areas such as theHeights and others can con-tinue to thrive and, in fact,improve,” he said.

Holden hopes the busi-ness community will be partof any consultation as theplan moves forward.

The head of the local fire-fighters union said he’s alsoseen a change at city hall.

Rob Lamoureux, presi-dent of the International As-sociation of Firefighters Lo-cal 323, said he’s talked toBCA members and oth-er union members who aredisappointed with the direc-tion of council.

“They’ve gone complete-ly away from their core ormorals, the way I see it,” hesaid. “They’re not a veryleft-leaning government, theway I see it. It’s really un-fortunate, to be honest with

you. I think they’ve lost theirconscience. I think they‘velost their moral compass. Ithink they’ve really strayedaway from it.”

The union has been ina bitter battle with the cityfor several years over a newcontract.

Lamoureux said theunion provided financialsupport to the BCA in thelast civic election but hasn’tsince the end of 2014 overthe squabble with the con-tract.

He said the union won’tbe supporting the party inthe next election in 2018,

and, depending on the can-didates, may stay out of lo-cal politics completely.

“There’s nothing there inthe BCA for us,” he said.

While the head of theunion praised council fordoing a good job runningthe city fiscally, Lamoureuxsuggested issues like demov-ictions are the negative ef-fect of a government thathasn’t faced an oppositionfor years.

“There’s no voice to op-pose what’s going on, any-where,” he said.

But any notion the BCAis somehow out of step with

its roots isn’t sitting wellwith the mayor.

“I think it’s laughablefrom people who are mem-bers of the party,” Corri-gan said, noting he’s beena member since 1979. “Ifanyone knows what theprinciples of this party areand what we’ve been able todo over the course of a verylong time, I do.”

He said he’s surprisedmembers would make thecritical comments about theparty. Instead, he suggestedpeople have massive expec-tations on the local govern-ment.

“For many of these peo-ple, I think the frustrationcomes that they’re NewDemocrats who have lostrepeatedly in forming anykind of provincial or feder-al government for decades,and as a result, they’re veryfrustrated,” Corrigan said.“So all of their expecta-tions end up resting on localgovernment to solve all ofthe problems that confrontthem.”

The mayor argued that,if people take a “realistic”look, they would under-stand the city is doing wellwith the resources it has.

As for the issue of de-movictions, he said none ofthe critics have come for-ward with a logical plan todo anything other than whatthe city is doing in Me-trotown.

He said the city is takingdensity bonus money to cre-ate affordable housing, not-ing $8.5 million is beingspent on a social housingproject at Southgate in Ed-monds. He said the move isan example of council doingwhat it said it would do.

What do you do withyour 50 milk jugs of rainwater?

Mostly I water plantson the deck, and I also usethem when we have waterrestrictions, I take them out-side and water the plantsthat need to be done.

That’s very proactiveof you.What about thetrees on the city boule-vard?

I’ve always believed andbeen told that if you havea boulevard or shrubberygrowing in front of yourhome, even if it is the city’sproperty, it is the duty ofthe home owners, the dwell-ers who enjoy that greeneryto keep it healthy and cleanand tidy – pick up the gar-bage etcetera, that’s my civicduty! (Laughs)

A lot of people don’tknow that. I think theyassume the city willcome water those trees,but they don’t. So you go

out there and water themwith the rain water?

If it needs it, yes. It doestake time. I do wait untilit’s needed and keep watchon them, because that’s ourpart of the village.

In the bigger scheme ofthings, why do you thinkit’s important to con-serve water this way?

In the early days, when

logging was the big thingand everybody was build-ing these magnificentwooden houses, they werejust clearcutting things.Clearcuts were so severethat our Canadian space as-tronaut said you could seethat clearcut in British Co-lumbia from space.Whathappens, of course, andthis is what the Bible sto-ries are about, that if we doclearcutting, and the rain

comes, the trees don’t auto-matically grow.What morelikely will happen is the rainwill wash off the topsoil, andthe trees will have a muchmore difficult time tryingto grow on bare rock. I canthink of lots of places in theworld where you wonder:Why aren’t the trees grow-ing here? It must take hun-dreds of thousands of yearsto build up good topsoil.

What kind of impactdo you hope to have fromyour little corner here inEdmonds?

Oh, this little light ofmine, I hope that other peo-ple will think about our chil-dren and grandchildren’sfuture, and we can givethem the beautiful worldthat we are enjoying now,too, by being careful withwhat we do.

TQ Construction also recommended placement of large skylights to be placed on north side to allow for naturallight, and smaller gable windows used on the south side for curb appeal and light - both done with minimum heatgain.

• Add compost or well composted manurebefore planting, to enrich the soil.

• Add dolomite lime to “sweeten” the soil, asmost veggies prefer an only slightly acidic soil.

When you consider the investment madein a community over time, and the existingrelationships and connections to the area,renovations make a whole lot of sense.Here are a couple examples.

Budget Wise – Needing extra bedrooms,the family also dreamed of a wide opengreatroom concept with open sightlinesto the backyard for year round BBQs.The family, busy with work and school,wanted to stay in their home during therenovations with as little interruption aspossible. A long wish-list on a tight budget,the family reached out to My HouseDesign Build Team.

Graeme Huguet, President and Ownerof My House Design Build Teamrecommended a work plan in two phases.The upstairs addition was completed first,allowing the family to remain in the housedownstairs. Once completed, phase twostarted with a temporary kitchenset-up in the family room while the newkitchen was completed.Designed on a tight budget, therenovation was completed in the two

phases with only one permit and one plan,saving significant dollars.

Creative design and clever purchasingalso meant many existing materials anditems were retained instead of purchasingnew. The upstairs addition placed overthe living and kitchen area retained themajority of existing structure. The kitchenwas completely transformed includingthree impressive skylights. Existingmaterials were incorporated wherepossible, including blending the old floorwith the new.

Live Green – Retired, with no desire tomove, it was important for this homeownerto stay on a greenbelt and to capture theoutdoors. A professional landscaper, thegarden was a major focus for this retiree.The solution? Moving the kitchen to wherethe dining area was made way for an openfloor plan, and created space for an island,allowing for a visual siteline through tothe garden. Adding beams and glass witha covered patio seamlessly connects theoutdoors to the new interior renovation.Materials used include natural fir glulambeam rafters and high energy efficientglass to keep the room temperaturecomfortable through all seasons. The endresult feels like you are eating outdoorsyear-round. n

CARING FOR SENIORS IN BURNABY

What would it take tomake Burnaby moredemen!a friendly?

That’s what the citywants to cnd out with anew series of public fo-rums coming up in June.

“We’re hoping peoplewill come out and talkabout how they aremanaging, if they havedemen!a, how theyare experiencing thecommunity,” said Mar-garet Manifold, a socialplanner with the City ofBurnaby.

The city secured a grantto make Burnaby moredemen!a friendly, fol-lowing recommenda!onfrom Voice of BurnabySeniors, a communitygroup focused on localseniors’ issues.

“They recognized, as ourpopula!on ages, we’ll bedealing with more peoplewith demen!a,” Manifoldexplained. A"er gather-ing informa!on, Burnabyplans on consul!ng withcity sta$ who work withthe public, as well as crstresponders. The end goalis to have a series of ac-

!ons the city can take tohelp seniors with demen-!a. For example, onechange might be to traincity sta$ in communitycentres of the tax depart-ment to recognize signsof demen!a and knowhow to respond appro-priately. That may meana more pa!ent approachthat doesn’t overload theperson with too muchinforma!on.

Manifold said the city willhold another forum infall for more public input,to inform steps Burnabycan take to help peoplewith demen!a.

Manifold likened it tomaking the city moreaccessible to peoplewith disabili!es – nowBurnaby needs to ac-commodate people withcogni!ve impairments,especially with an agingpopula!on.

The June sessions areopen to people withdemen!a and their care-givers. To sign up, call604-294-7421 or [email protected].

BurnabyproductbolstersnationalresumePlaying with under-20 women’s side a great experience for 15-year-old former Cliff Avenue soccer [email protected]

Nearly two years younger thanthe next youngest teammate,midfielder Julia Grosso entersthis week’s closed-door matchesagainst Mexico already steeped inthe rituals and responsibilities ofrepresenting Canada.

At 15 going on 16, the for-mer Burnaby Girls, Cliff Ave-nue and Mountain United soccerclubs product could say she’s beenthere/done that, but playing forher country never gets old.

“It feels really good being(here),” she said in a phone inter-view from Mexico City. “The girls,one of them is only one year olderand I know some of them. It’s al-ways an honour to play for Can-ada.”

As a recent addition to thewomen’s under-20 team, whichtook on Mexico on May 18 and23 as part of a 10-day camp toprepare for the FIFA U20Wom-en’sWorld Cup in Papau NewGuinea in November, Grosso iseager to soak it all in.

From past national team experi-ence, she knows every opportuni-

ty is special.The teen debuted in red-and-

white with the Canadian girls U15squad two years ago, and recalls amagical CONCACAF champion-ship in the Cayman Islands thatended in gold for Canada.

“That first game was so excit-ing, your adrenalin is flowing somuch,” she recalled. “Ever since Iwas a little girl I imagined walkingout and singing the national an-them as a member of the team…To go out and stand there wasamazing. I remember seeing myparents (in the stands) and justfeeling so excited.”

Earlier this year, she startedthree of four games for Canadaon the backline at the u17 CON-CACAF qualifying tournament inGrenada, which saw the team fin-ish third overall to secure a spot atthe FIFA 2016 u17World Cup inJordan, which kicks off in late Sep-tember.

Every national invitation andcamp tryout was embraced. Gros-so participated in the program’su17 NTC Invitational tournamenta year ago and made a strong im-pression. She credits the manysoccer coaches she’s had growing

up, and says joining theWhitecapsFC Elite program has been a hugeboon for setting the bar higher.

“They’ve really helped developplayers, we work in gym sessionsand soccer sessions. It’s helped megrow as a player, definitely.”

A Grade 10 student atVanTech High, Grosso said balancingschool and soccer is always a chal-lenge.

“I’ve missed a lot of school dueto soccer but the teachers arehelpful, they tell me what I needto prepare for and expect me tocatch up when I get back.”

The game has always held afirm grip on her interests since shestarted playing at the age of four.

“I always knew I had a pas-sion for (soccer)… Every step upthere’s new information and asyou go up the national programthere’s new things to learn.”

Her favourite player? CristianoRonaldo, because of his creativityand skill. She’s also a big ChristineSinclair fan.

“I’ve always been a huge Ronal-do fan. My dad knows his grand-father, so whenever (his grandfa-ther) visits Ronaldo he brings backsomething new autographed.”

A member of the national EX-CEL program, Grosso’s inclu-sion with the u20 team is part ofan overall long-range plan, headcoach DanielWorthington said.

“We have opened the door foryounger players that are not justeligible for Papua New Guinea2016, but are also eligible for theFIFA U-20Women’sWorld Cup

France 2018 and because we arespreading it across two programs,”he said. “It’s an opportunity forus to look at new players.Withmany of the EXCEL players miss-ing due to Olympic developmentcommitments, we have chosen ayoung team for the two-game se-ries in Mexico City.

Grossogainspitchexperience“This isn’t the final roster that will be se-

lected for Papua New Guinea 2016, but itwill be used as an opportunity to contin-ue the individual development of our NEXplayers as well as assess some new faces,” headded.

NEX is a national system to develop play-ers over four-to-six year spans, with ma-jor tournaments as goalposts. It may not bethe official motto, but it has been written –‘More Sinclair’s more Often.’

The challenge ahead isn’t just about play-ing well, but also about elevating her game

to the benefit of the team. Nothing is tak-en for granted, she said. Surrey’s SimmrinDhaliwal, 19, is the only other B.C. playeron the 21-player roster.

“At the national level, the soccer youplay the ball moves really fast,” said Grosso.“You battle all the time.You can’t ever giveup, because you don’t really have a set situa-tion and you have to come prepared.

“When you have bad days you just haveto keep going, keep working.”

So far those bad days are few and far be-tween, because every day she’s playing soc-cer is a good day.

Burnaby put up a valiantbattle Sunday against theundefeated Coquitlam Ad-anacs at the Copeland rink.

The Lakers even took a4-3 lead midway throughthe opening period, whenrookie Chase Pretti-Pears-all counted his first of theseason.

But Coquitlam proved re-silient, tying it up two min-

utes later and adding twomore before the period end-ed.

Although Danny Spagnu-olo pulled the Lakers with-in a goal to kickstart the sec-ond frame, the 7-0 Adanacsreplied with three mark-ers of their own, and with-stood Burnaby’s comebackattempts.

In his second game ofthe season, Aidan Mil-burn tallied two goals andthree assists, while Spag-nuolo scored three timesand set up another. Round-ing out the Lakers’ offencewereWyatt Pinder, Mason

Pomeroy and PearsonWillis.Two days earlier, Port
