Burnabys fight against Kinder Mor-gan and theTrans Mountain Pipeline isdestined to go all the way to Canadas topcourt.Thats the way Mayor Derek Corri-gan sees it, after the city lost the first roundof a court battle against the energy compa-ny and the National Energy Board.From the very beginning, I said were

going to have to move on to a higher courtto get someone to relook at this whole is-sue, he told theNOW.

Corrigans comments came following arecent B.C. Supreme Court decision thatruled in Kinder Morgans favour and leftthe city on the hook for the companys legalcosts. (At press time, Kinder Morgan didnot have the total Burnaby would have topay, as thats something determined by thecourts.)Burnabys case challenges whether feder-

al jurisdiction for major projects, like pipe-lines, can overrule city laws. In this instance,the judge determined the National Ener-gy Board was right by previously overrulingBurnabys bylaw, which forbade the com-

pany from cutting trees while doing surveywork in the Burnaby Mountain conserva-tion area.Following the reasons for judgment on

Monday, council quickly approved a reso-lution to appeal the court decision, sendingthe case to the B.C. Court of Appeal.Corrigan said he wasnt surprised the

lower court followed the precedent thats al-ready been set by higher courts, and he be-lieves the case will likely end up in the Su-preme Court of Canada.While he acknowledged the city is fight-

ing an uphill battle, the mayor is draw-

ing hope from other court cases across thecountry where municipalities are fightingthe federal government to be recognized.We cant capitulate at this point, Cor-

rigan said. We fought this battle very hard,and the only option weve got is the courts,and I prefer the courts to the street.But exactly how much the city has in-

curred in court costs and will continue tospend is unclear.When asked, Corrigan said he didnt have

the court costs, suggesting that a lot of the

Burnaby SFU studentslined up for a little puppylove last week.The universitys health

and counselling servic-es hosted a puppy-thera-py event at the BurnabyMountain campusTuesdaymorning.About 275 students, fac-

2012 to help students de-stress and beat the bluesduring exam time.The Burnaby cam-

Thievescleanoutstudentsearthquakesupply lockerAll big-ticket items were stolen sometime during the [email protected]

If the big one were tohit tomorrow, students andstaff at Lakeview Elemen-tary would be left withoutany supplies for the first 72hours.Parents at Lakeview El-

ementary are scramblingto restock the schoolsemergency supplies kit af-ter someone pillaged theschools storage bin some-time during the summer.It was school principal

Frankie Devita who discov-ered the supplies were gonewhile doing a supply checklast month.When Devitaalerted the schools ParentAdvisory Council (PAC)of the theft, many of whomhad helped collect the do-nated items in the emer-gency preparedness kit, theparents were crushed tohear someone would stealsuch important provisions.Were still a little bit

confused (how the sup-plies were taken). Our the-ory was it was impene-

trable, but if people wantsomething bad enough orthey think theres some-thing good in there, theylldo whatever it takes to getin, saidTammyMarchio-ni, one of the parents whohelped put together the po-tentially life-saving supplykit seven years ago.

Among the supplies, alldonated by NorthVancou-ver business 4 Corners Ser-vices, were four 20 feet by10 feet sided canopies, two12 feet by eight feet tents,25 to 30 wind-up flash-lights, 10 wind-up radios,300 emergency space blan-kets, 12 level two first aidkits, a collection of spades

and shovels, a sledge ham-mer, safety vests, an armycot, folding chairs and ta-bles.Marchioni estimatesthe entire stock was worthabout $8,000 to $10,000.These and other items

were all kept in a securedsteel storage bin installedon a large cement pad inthe southeast corner of thefield behind Lakeview Ele-mentary.While the thieves left be-

hind some items, includingwater for medical use, allthe big-ticket supplies weretaken.Marchioni, whoseyoungest daughter is inGrade 7 at Lakeview, isntsure how she and the otherparents are going to be ableto replace everything thatwas taken.It would be great if we

could get some kind ofcommunity support. It ismy last year at this school,so I would like to be able toleave some kind of legacy,Marchioni said.Without the supplies,

the students at Lakevieware left vulnerable until

the parents can rebuild thestock, and the school dis-trict doesnt provide fund-ing for emergency supplieseither, she added.I think it really has to be

a collective agreement, soto speak, between the par-ents, the PAC, the commu-nity, the teachers,Mar-chioni said.Now, parents at the

school are looking to thepublic in hopes of collect-ing donations for the emer-gency preparedness kit.They are appealing to any-one in the community tocontact Lakeview Elemen-tary if theyre interested indonating items,Marchio-ni said.Well take anything.We

have to rebuild this, shesaid. Its just really sadand unfortunate that some-body would do somethinglike (this).Anyone interested in do-

nating cash or items to helprestock Lakeviews emer-gency preparedness kit isencouraged to contact De-vita at 604-664-8735.

Fire:Mansavedbyneighbour

Burnaby firefighters areapplauding the quick actionof a local resident after hehelped alert his neighbourof a fire in their LinwoodStreet duplex.Tenants of a two-storey

duplex in the 3700 blockof Linwood Street calledthe fire department around6:45 p.m. on Sunday, whenthey noticed smoke com-ing from the rear downstairssuite.Its a good thing that one

of the other tenants in theother side of the homewoke up to smell smoke.He

went (to the rear downstairssuite) and banged on thedoor and he alerted the oth-er tenant, and he was ableto wake him up and get himout, Burnaby assistant fireChief Bryan Kirk told theNOW.Fire investigators are still

trying to determine whatcaused the blaze.There was some slight

damage to the suite wherethe fire started, and the ten-ants in the other suites hadto spend the night in a mo-tel because of lingeringsmoke, Kirk said.No injuries were report-

ed.

Police are searching forthe suspect in a robbery onKingsway Sunday night.A woman called police

around 8:15 p.m. after aman stole her iPhone outof her hands while she waswaiting for the bus at King-sway and Edmonds Street.While the woman didnt

suffer any serious inju-ries, she was knocked to theground during a strugglewith the suspect, BurnabyRCMPCpl. Daniela Pane-sar told theNOW.When officers arrived at

the scene, the suspect hadalready fled.A police dogwas brought out to try andcatch the suspects scent,but that was unsuccessful,Panesar added.Its still under investiga-

tion, so if anybody has anyinformation regarding thatincident call the BurnabyRCMP, she said.Anyone with information

can contact the BurnabyRCMP at 604-294-7922.The robbery comes less

than two weeks after RCMPissued a reminder to res-idents to take extra carewhen it comes to person-al safety.The RCMP say most

criminals choose victimswho appear vulnerable anddistracted, which is whythe force is urging residentsto be aware of their sur-

roundings at all times, not-ed the statement released byBurnaby RCMP.Being aware and pre-

pared is so important forpersonal safety, Panesarsaid the release. Be ex-tra vigilant in areas that areknown for robberies such astransit hubs, shopping areasand poorly lit pathways.

A lawsuit involving aBurnaby student allegedlyhit by a baseball bat duringa high school drama classwill be going to trial nextyear.According to court doc-

uments, the trial in a civilsuit launched byMei-ChiaWang against the BurnabySchool District and anotherstudent is scheduled to be-gin March 21, 2016.In a notice of civil claim

filed back in 2012,Wangwas a Burnaby Central stu-dent preparing for a schoolplay when a student hit herin the head with a baseballbat.The incident took place

at the school in October2009.The suit claimsWang suf-

fered a number of injuries

from the blow includinga concussion, short-termmemory impairment, diz-ziness, depression and anx-iety, a personality change,impairment in social rela-tions and pain and suffer-ing.Wangs suit claims the

school district was negli-gent for the teachers fail-ing to ensure the studentswere monitored adequate-ly, properly supervised inhandling dangerous objects,and for failing to protectWangs physical and mentalwellbeing after being hit bythe bat.The suit also claims as a

result of the injuries,Wangsacademic achievement hasbeen compromised and lefther unable to be admittedto a faculty of her choice atUBC.Her injuries have alsoresulted in the disqualifica-tion for academic bursaries,

grants and scholarships, thedocuments state.The student who alleg-

edly swung the bat and theNOW has not identified, islisted as a third party, re-cently filing a requisition forconsent order.In a response, the district

has denied the allegations inthe lawsuit and offers a de-tailed version of events.Court documents claim

the students were enrolledin a script writing/directioncourse and were prepar-ing to perform a monologuethey had written.Each student had a prop

to use in the performanceand the bat belonged to an-other student in the class,the district said.Just prior to the perfor-

mance, the teacher wentto get a camera, and whenthey returnedWang was onthe floor.

The district saidWangwas conscious but bleedingfrom her forehead.An am-bulance was called.The district claims it has

no knowledge of how theincident occurred and ar-gued the bat as a prop wasnot an object that could be

foreseen to be a danger tostudents.The response also stated

the two students had nev-er engaged in horseplay,and the accident occurredspontaneously and was anextraordinary event.The district also claims if

Wang did suffer an injury,it was contributed by herown negligence for failing tohave any regard for her ownsafety.None of the allegations

have been proven in court.

An adult bald eagle isback to soaring the openskies around Burnaby, allthanks to the kindness of acouple kids.LastThursday, the Or-

phanedWildlife (OWL) Re-habilitation Society releaseda bald eagle into the wild af-ter it was found two weeksago in Robert Burnaby Parktangled in wire attached to adisc golf basket.On hand for the moment

of first flight were Jack andAaron Sutherland.The two boys found the

bird on Nov. 13 while out inthe park with their mom.Jack said he saw the bird

hanging from the wire, be-lieving it was dead. But ashe got closer he noticed theanimal was blinking.He said the eagle became

agitated and started strug-gling.Mom called OWL,while

the boys waited for morethan an hour by the eaglesside for rescuers to arriveand help the bird.They made sure no other

predators or people came byto prey on the bird while ithung stranded in the wire.Fortunately, the eagle

wasnt really injured and,after a week in rehab, wasplaced back into the park.The boys even got the

chance to open the cage tolet the eagle out.Its quite amazing, a very

good experience, Jack toldtheNOW. Ive always hada very high interest in birds,I think theyre very neat.And dad couldnt be

prouder.Warren Sutherland said

his sons have always had asoft spot for animals, notingthey wanted to help from

the start.You cant walk away

from that, he said.Upon its release, the bird

first flew straight to the topof a tall tree stump in thepark, before ascending intothe sky.

Rob Hope, with theOWL, said the release areawas chosen because they be-lieve the bird probably has anest or mate in the area.So adult birds, we like

to get them back to wheretheyre from, he said, add-ing the bird could stay inthe area or follow the salm-on runs.Shortly after the incident,

someone claimed responsi-

bility for putting up the wire.Someone under the name

of Chad commented ontheNOWs original sto-ry about the eagle, claimingthe Burnaby Disc Golf Clubwas responsible for puttingup what he called tonalsdescribed as an alternativetarget to the usual baskets.He said the tonals were

added without permissionof the city a few months agoin order to improve the ex-perience of playing there.Im glad most of all that

the bird in question is do-ing well and hope it makes afull recovery thank you somuch to the people respon-sible for calling about it, andthe ones who came to saveit and rehabilitate it yourquick-thinking and actionswere wonderful, the postread.I realize we look like idi-

ots for this mess, and againIm sorry that this hap-pened. Anyone who comesto enjoy this park space can

see that its well taken careof by our group, and thatwe are quite respectful toall (people and animals)who come here.No hang-ing targets will ever be putup again in this park, I as-sure you.

The group involved insetting up a disc golf basketthat happened to trap a baldeagle in Robert BurnabyPark has come forward toapologize for the incident.The Burnaby NOW

spoke to a person namedChad, who identified him-self as member of the Burn-aby Disc Golf Club, and ex-

plained the baskets, calledtonals, have been hang-ing in the park for monthsand were actually meant toavoid an issue because theywere of a higher quality.It just dumbfounded

us all that such a thing waspossible, he said of the ea-gle getting caught up in thewire. Its horrible, were allsuch outdoorsy people andwe love animals.We see a lotof them coming around the

park. Nobody feels worsefor this than us.Chad said the group only

learned about the situationthis week through the me-dia and wanted to come for-ward, both to apologize andto let the public know itslearned a lesson and wontbe putting up baskets in thepark again.The eagle was found dan-

gling from a wire in the park

Womenwhowont take itanymoreIt sometimes seems like

one step forward and twosteps back in the battle forgender equality.JustinTrudeau took one

huge leap for gender equal-ity in government when hebuilt a cabinet with 50 percent men and 50 per centwomen.His commitmentto equality in government iscommendable and history-making.And then this past week

we heard troubling storiesabout how female students

at UBC were stalled andthwarted when they com-plained about sexual harass-ment and assault.The young women were

stonewalled despite an ap-parent process and peopleresponsible for adminster-ing the system to deal withsuch complaints.How could this still be

happening in 2015?But it is. From female

firefighters and RCMP of-ficers and military person-nel to CBC employees deal-

ing with Jian Ghomeshi people in leadership stillseem to hope that if they ig-nore complaints it will allgo away.Well it doesnt.The young women from

UBC have not acceptedUBCs apology and are fil-ing human rights com-plaints. Good for them.The RCMP women arestill waiting for their day incourt but they continue tospeak out.Of course, bigwigs at

UBC and the RCMP havemade numerous pledges tochange the system or theway the system works, ordoesnt work.Change, they often say,

takes time and cant bedone overnight. Processeshave to be fair and thought-ful.They have some goodpoints, but its hard to tellif theyre sincere or if this isjust bureaucratic bafflegab.Unfortunately, institu-

tions seldommove quick-ly unless forced to by legal

consequences.If there is a good side to

any of this, it seems womenare very clear that they willnot be revictimized by thesame institutions that weresupposed to be protectingthem.They also recognize that

this is sexism, pure and sim-ple, not something they, asindividuals, are responsi-ble for.They are steely in their

resolve for justice and tohelp other women who may

face similar circumstances.Their expectations for

justice and action are lightyears ahead of what womenexpected even a decade ortwo ago.Things have changed,

and leaders such as JustinTrudeau reflect that change.But sexism is still a deeplyentrenched part of Canadi-an society, as we are too of-ten reminded.

Energy issueschallengeNDPFew issues are as chal-

lenging for the New Demo-cratic Party than energy-re-lated ones, and proof of thatcan be seen in two recentmoves by the party bothhere in B.C. and right nextdoor in Alberta.In Alberta, NDP Premier

Rachel Notley just launchedan ambitious plan to bringin an economy-wide car-bon tax, phase out coal-firedelectricity and cap activi-ty in the oil sands at currentlevels.Notleys plan has been

hailed as visionary, ground-breaking and a model forother provinces. However, italso tacitly embraces the ex-istence of the oil sands in-dustry, which may explainwhy some companies therewere quick to sign off on hernew policy.Presumably, the Alberta

NDP has its eye on surviv-ing the next election, whichmay partly explain why it isnot turning its back on oilpipelines or the oil indus-try itself. Introducing a car-bon tax in tax-phobic Al-berta may be risky, but if theNDPs political oppositionremains fractured and bro-ken that may not matter.Contrast her govern-

ments energy shift to howits B.C. counterpart is try-ing to shape its own energypolicy. Last week, the B.C.NDP unveiled what its call-ing Power B.C., whichoutlines what it sees as pri-orities in that sector.So things like empha-

sizing more renewable re-sources such as wind andsolar power, offering more

incentives for energy retro-fits, and maximizing exist-ing B.C.Hydro dams are atthe core of the plan.Its hard to argue with

much of it although thereare very few details beingoffered and one of the un-derlying themes is that thesemeasures would help ne-gate the building of the SiteC dam.But this is where things

get a lot trickier and fuzzierfor the B.C.NDP. In someways, the Site C dam (and,for that matter, the pro-posed Kinder Morgan pipe-line and fracking) are theequivalent of the Alberta oilsands in terms of challengesfor the B.C.NDP.Officially, the NDP op-

poses the Site C dam. Butheres the problem: con-struction of the dam will bewell underway and billionsof tax dollars will have beencommitted through signedcontracts by the time thenext provincial election rollsaround in May 2017.Party leader John Horgan,

in media interviews afterhe unveiled his energy plan,left the door open to walk-ing away from the projectshould his party form gov-ernment, but he also left itopen to having constructionproceed.So while Notley may have

found a neat way to dealwith the elephant that is inher partys room,Horganhas yet to find a way to dealwith the one in his.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

A group of concerned citizens complaining about rust-ed monkey bars, a missing swing, a dangerous slide andpoor drainage at Sumas Park got the ear of the Burn-aby parks board.After several delegations came to theboard in March to complain about the 28-year-old parkby Kensington Avenue and Sumas Drive, commissionersagreed to divert $20,000 from a plan to pave a parking lotat Confederation Park and renovate Sumas Park instead.

THE BURNABY NOWWELCOMES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.We do, however, edit for taste, legality and length. Priority isgiven to letters written by residents of Burnaby and/or issues concerning Burnaby. Please include a phone number whereyou can be reached during the day. Send letters to: The Editor, #201A3430 Brighton Ave., Burnaby, B.C., V5A 3H4,email to: [email protected] (no attachments please) or fax to: 604-444-3460. Letters to the editor and opinioncolumns may be reproduced on the Burnaby NOW website, www.burnabynow.com.

Why should Burnabyhouse the refugees?Dear EditorRe: Burnaby could receive 500Syrians,BurnabyNOW, Nov. 18.Well, JenniferMoreau is at it again, talking

wayovermyheadoncemore. Would it beabusive ofme to ask justwhat shemeansbysaying: refugees are expected inBurnaby,which is the thirdmost commonmunicipalityinB.C. for government-assisted refugees tosettle? Inwhatway is Burnabymost com-monover, say, PouceCoupeor ChetwyndorTerrace, etc.?Also,wouldnot 300 long-termhousingunits

behelpful in housinghomeless peoplewhoabound throughout themunicipality, that aremadeupof thoseborn inCanada,whohavelivedandpaid taxes andhave abirthright to behere? It is not that I amopposed to immi-grants, asmymother came toCanada in 1923,but shewas givenno special considerationsin doing so, just like hundreds of thousandsofotherswhomadea life for themselveswithoutvast quantities of treasurebeing spent to assistthem todo so.As for thisUgandan fellow, nowmissing,

whydoes it seemalmost inconceivable that hemight have flown the coop, so to speak? Itcertainlywouldnt be the first time,would it?Now I am totally aware that the editrix,

Pat Tracy, is in thehabit of disallowingme tomake comment onanymatters seenasbeingculturally sensitive, or evenmildly poetic orevenprosaic. Shewill, perhapsbepleased toknow that I concur almost completelywith themayors takeof the situation, and that I hopehe harries both theprovincial and the federalbureaucrats concerning theDauphins stub-bornness onbringing acrimonious strangersinto our peaceable kingdom!LarryBennett, Burnaby

Burnaby needs toshape up on streamsDear Editor TheCity of Burnabyusedpoorjudgment by ignoring the fact that in-streamwork in theBurnaby creeks shouldbeconductedduring aperiodof lowwater. Thiswindow for in-creekwork is primarily betweenthe start of August to aboutmid-September.Burnaby city engineering shouldhave knownbetter and shouldnot gloss over thedamagecausedonStoneyCreek. The city also con-ductedwork in theGlenlyonCreek inOctober,again ignoring thewindow for in-streamwork.Thedamagehasbeendoneand could

potentiallywipeout salmon spawning areasfor this year. The cutthroat trout andNooksackdace:what has happened to these species andtheir habitat? TheNooksackdace is protectedunder the Federal Species at Risk Act. The cityshould seek the expertise of theDepartmentof Fisheries andOceans todoan independentanalysis of thedamage.Communication is lackingon thepart of

Burnabywith its stakeholders. Although thework in StoneyCreek tobedonewas known,the exact timingwasnot known. Burnabymust learn to communicatewith stakeholders,such as streamkeepers, Department of Fisher-ies andOceans and theprovincialministry.Workwasdoneona tributary of Eagle Creek inthe summerof 2015, onBroadway justwest ofCamroseDrive, but again, no communicationwith the streamkeepers.For Burnaby topreach its environmental

good record for ourwildlife, it shouldwalk thetalk.NickKvenich,Burnaby

Eagle gets snared indisc golf equipment

MrManAs apoint of note, the objectthat snared the eaglewas ahangingtonal thatwasnot a sanctioned target,not oneof thepermanent baskets thatmakeup the regular disc golf course.Thewriter refers to the tonal errone-ously as abasket a couple times. Thetonals havebeen removedand shouldnot be confusedwith theproperbaskets.

Chad Yes, tonals... thank you - andwevehad some formof themup foryears and years, not justmonths... thisnew stylewere only 3months old,waswhat Imeant. TheParkwasprobablyvaguely awareof themat varioustimes, but theydidnt necessarily knowabout thesenewones.We clearly needtobeonbetter termswith them in thefuture, and I hope thats still possible :)...Andalthough theprice of a basket issomewhat expensive, awhole courseinstall (18 baskets, teepads, and sig-nage) probably costs under $20,000...so quite similar cost as installing anewtennis or basketball court (butwouldaccommodatemanymoreplayers - soquite good value)

More on the refugeesRickMcGowan It took thepossibilityof 600 refugees arriving inBurnabyin thenext sixweeks for theMayor toacknowledgeBurnabyhas anafford-able rental housing crisis, but Imgladhehas. The fact that the local govern-ment has exacerbated the situationbysanctioning thedemolitionof afford-able rentals is beside thepoint. Thenear zero affordable rental vacancyrate begs thequestion, howwillwemanage?Mr. Corriganhasmadea validpoint, suggesting the federal govern-ment should explore thepossibility ofhousing refugees in smaller towns

As world leaders get set toconverge in Paris at the endof the month for a major cli-mate change conference, alocal business group is call-ing on the newly electedprime minister to supportreal targets.The Burnaby Board of

Trade has penned a let-ter to PrimeMinister Jus-tinTrudeau calling on himto join with other lead-ers in seeking a meaning-ful global agreement to ad-dress climate change withnew greenhouse gas reduc-tion targets at the upcom-ing United Nations climatechange conference.The board has also asked

that government work withbusiness organizations todevelop the necessarymarket-based strategy toachieve those reductions.Burnaby Board ofTrade

believes Canada will needto develop a plan for a long-term transition to a low-car-

bon economy that ensuresthe country meets its inter-national obligations whileprotecting and enhanc-ing the dynamic, innovativeeconomy we currently en-joy, the letter stated.

BBOTs CEO, PaulHolden, explained the issueof sustainability has been animportant area for the or-ganization, pointing out itsown Pledge for a Sustain-able Community initiative.He also noted BBOT

isnt asking for specific tar-gets or numbers in its lettertoTrudeau.We wanted to stress and

remind the prime ministersoffice of the importance ofengaging the business com-munity through that processof achieving those goals,Holden told theNOW.Holden said hes hop-

ing the prime minster willsee the letter, or at leastthe people working him inframing Canada participa-tion, and would take noteof the spirit of the letter thatbusiness groups can play asignificant role.The letter has also been

sent to Premier ChristyClark and to any relevantfederal and provincial min-istries.BBOTs Pledge for a Sus-

tainable Community pro-gram was recognized in-ternationally after beingselected as a finalist in thecategory of Best Corpo-rate Social ResponsibilityProject at the 2015WorldChambers Competition.The pledge program is a

comprehensive online re-source and planning toolwith the goal of helping

businesses large and smallreduce their carbon foot-print.So far, 146 Burnaby

businesses have signed thepledge.Holden suggested busi-

ness organizations are tak-ing an increasing interest inthe issue of climate change.

or is confident local resi-dents support the citys fightagainst the pipeline, notinghe made his position clearduring the last election.I take that as a strong

signal the public is behindme, he said.Kinder Morgan spokes-

personAli Hounsell waspleased with the latest devel-opment in the case.Were satisfied with the

court decision. It basicallyreaffirms whats been said anumber of times and reaf-firms the NEBs jurisdictionas it relates to our project,she told theNOW.GregMcDade, the citys

lawyer, said the bigger ques-tion is whether interprovin-cial undertakings can over-

rule cities concerns.If youre going to build

pipeline through the heart ofmajor municipalities, theirvoice has to be heard, hesaid.McDade was also not sur-

prised by the ruling, andhe expects the case to go toall the way to the SupremeCourt of Canada as the cityis trying to establish new lawbased on principles coop-erative federalism.McDade declined to

comment on the citys run-ning total for legal bills.

on Nov. 13 and was rescuedby the OrphanedWildlife(OWL) Rehabilitation So-ciety.The eagle wasnt seriously

injured by the wire and wassuccessfully released backinto the wild lastThursday.Chad said the local disc

golf club also has plans tomake amends, raising mon-ey at an upcoming tourna-ment next week to donateback to OWL.Were looking forward to

being able to make amendsa little bit for what hap-pened, he told theNOW.

Were responsible, thought-ful people.Chad also said the group

feels bad for parks staff, sug-gesting they would haveknown the unauthorizedbaskets were in the park forsome time, and nowmaylook bad.But the group also sees

the recent incident as alarger issue for the fledg-ling sport. Chad suggestedthere isnt enough space forthe sport around the LowerMainland, noting there arejust two 18-hole disc golfcourses in the region.The Burnaby club has 62

members.He said the lackof space forces clubs to getcreative to get 18 holes ofplay, which was the case atRobert Burnaby Park.Clubs are looking at ball

golf courses as an option,while locally the Burnabyclub is looking at space onBurnabyMountain.Chad suggested for the

sport to find enough plac-es to play, clubs will need apartner offering the space.Adding to the difficulty is

the expense of the sport.A proper basket costs

more than $500.Chad noted the tonals in

the park that caught the ea-gle were about $30 each.Meanwhile, the club has

also reached out to OWLdirectly.Rob Hope, with OWL

Rehabilitation Society, saidhe also spoke to the groupand appreciates the honestyfrom the club.That takes a lot of guts

to come forward in a situa-tion like this, he said.Hope added hes glad to

hear the club has learnedfrom the mistake and in-tends to change how it playsthe game so it doesnt hap-pen again.

Thattakesa lotofguts tocomeforwardDoglicencefeesset toriseGetting a licence for Fido

in the City of Burnaby willsoon cost a little more.City council approved the

first three readings of pro-posed changes to the ani-mal control bylaw that willsee a fee increase for variousdog licences of about fiveper cent based on Consum-er Price Index changes overthe last three years.That means the licence

for an unaltered dog be-fore March 1, 2016 will cost$55, up from $52 under theprevious bylaw.The licence fee for a

spayed or neutered dog in-creased by $2 to $28, whilea spayed or neutered vicious

dog jumps by $5 to $105.The first-time impound-

ment penalty for a licenseddog is also increasing by $3to $53, while the fee for anunlicensed canine is jump-ing $5 to $105.A staff report noted the

fees had not increased since2013 and remain lower thanthe regional average.The licences for unaltered

dogs in Coquitlam,NewWestminster and Richmondare $52, $60 and $54.50.The average dog licence

fee in MetroVancouver, notincluding the early discountrate, is $59.

a festival of lights.McDonell said the festi-

val has been a hit ever since,especially since the new Ed-monds Community Cen-tre opened three years ago,noting both the general andbusiness community sup-port the event.The event has been draw-

ing good crowds over theyears and it should be nodifferent in 2015. Roughly3,000 people are expectedto attend this years festival.The Edmonds Festival

of Lights runs from 2 to 5p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28at the Edmonds Commu-nity Centre, 7433 EdmondsSt. Everyone is welcome todrop in.But the Christmas season
