Traffic flowissues impact homeownersProperties need to be expropriatedKevin MillsMission Record

A plan to improve traffic flow at Cedar Street and Seventh Ave. isn’t sitting well with some residents – especially those who will see their land expropriated by the district.

The plan, which is scheduled to be discussed during Monday’s council meeting, calls for the widening of Cedar Street, at the Sev-enth Ave. Intersection, to allow for five lanes, two in each direction and one left turn lane, as well as other improvements to help driver visibility.

The project, which is budgeted at $3.6 million will require the district to acquire both privately-owned land and land owned by BC Hydro.

The two properties most affected by the proposal are located at 7624 and 7642 Cedar Street. The proposed road and sidewalk would be pushed immediately adjacent to the building envelope of those two properties.

Other properties will also be impacted, but to a lesser degree.“I think the general public would love to see the intersection

improved somehow to get the traffic moving. But to do that we have to expropriate some lands,” said Mission Mayor Randy Hawes who called the current traffic situation a “failure” and “badly designed.”

While the road “has to be fixed,” Hawes said he understands the frustrations of homeowners.

“I would probably feel the same if I lived in one of those houses.” The road repair is still up in the air as no time line for construc-

tion is set. Currently, the district does not have the budget to begin work or even to negotiate prices for the homeowners’ lands.

Hawes is hopeful that the new infrastructure program that has been promised by the new Liberal federal government could pro-vide some needed funding. Originally, staff slated the project to take place in 2020, but recent traffic flow studies show that it must be completed closer to 2017.

Cedar Street homeowners are expected to attend and voice con-cerns during Monday’s council meetings at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Extreme weather shelter spaces available

Fifteen extreme weather shelter spaces in Mission will be funded by the B.C. government this winter to help peo-ple whose health and safety may be threat-ened by cold, wet weather.

The temporary spaces will be avail-able from now until March 31, 2016 at Haven in the Hollow, 32646 Logan Ave., as Mission issues ex-treme weather alerts.

“These shelter beds help ensure that our most vulnerable peo-ple have a warm, safe place to stay during extreme weath-er conditions,” said Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton.

Each community decides what weath-er conditions war-rant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depending on the capacity of exist-ing shelters and the estimated need.

Throughout British Columbia, close to 1,200 temporary emergency shelter spaces will be avail-able this winter in about 100 communi-ties.

Kevin MillsMission Record

The district of Mission has set an operating budget for Fraser River Heritage Park of $207,000 – the same amount it paid last year.

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes said the budget means it will not cost taxpayers any extra money to operate the park when the district takes over in 2016, than it does now under the Mission Heritage Association (MHA).

The decision made earlier this year to not renew the mainte-nance contract with the MHA has been a controversial one, with many believing the cost to run the park will rise dra-matically without the help of the MHA volunteers. Concerns have also been raised that pro-

graming and other park ser-vices will suffer.

But Hawes does not agree.“We believe there can be more

programming and we are going to push to get more program-ming,” he said.

Hawes used the Mission Folk Music Festival as an example, saying he wants to talk to orga-nizers about other festival op-portunities, including a blues festival.

“We would like that. We think

the park should be used.”Programs that Hawes said

will continue include the Wednesday and Friday night music concerts, Canada Day celebrations and all current park activities.

“And we will add more.”He also said council is aware

of many volunteers who are still willing to come and work in the gardens when the district takes over.

And parks staff can handle other maintenance needs.

“It’s not like we are going to have to hire a fresh new group of people to look after the park and pay them this union wage. They are already on our payroll. We can stretch this easily. This is not going to be a problem,” said Hawes.

Heritage Park budget set


Fountainview Academy has recently released a new DVD – God So Loved the World: Winter. This small school has been training students to sing and play for the glory of God for the past 37 years. With emphasis on music, each student is a part of the orchestra, choir, or both, and spends time practicing and nearly every day.

The school also has a vigorous work program, in which students gain prac-tical experience in cooking, cleaning, arranging music, editing videos, and tending the orchards and large carrot farm, which produces approximately 1 million pounds of carrots per year.

Fountainview’s Orchestra & Sing-ers have traveled across the conti-

nent and around the world. During one Christmas concert last year, a student emcee asked those in the audience to write down prayer or information re-quests on a small card. As one man left the concert, he handed his card to one of the students in the lobby, and the student felt pressed to read the card. It read: “I’m struggling fi nancially, my

family is falling apart. I can’t live like this anymore.” Immediately the student turned around and ran in the direction the man had gone, calling him. “Is there anything I can pray with you about be-fore you leave?” she asked. Like a dam bursting, he voiced his long-held silent trials. His real question was: “Why would God care about me?”

Admission is FREE Tickets required as seating is limited.Carpooling is recommended.

Volunteers are kept busy preparing a dinner as part of the Stone Soup initiative. More than 50 people attended the inaugural event, which allowed people to share ideas and stories about homelessness. KEVIN MILLS PHOTO

Ideas exchanged at dinnerInaugural Stone Soup event attracts more than 50Kevin MillsMission Record

About 50 people came out to the first in a series of monthly Stone Soup dinners.

The event, held Thursday, Nov. 5 at Mission’s All-Saints Church, brought people to-gether to share a meal, sto-ries and ideas, as well as to learn about the Stone Soup Initiative.

The Stone Soup Initiative draws its inspiration from the old tale that tells the story of how something great for ev-eryone can be created if we all just contribute a little bit.

In Mission, government, citi-

zens, businesses and commu-nity groups have been inspired by the story, and are acting together to enact 35 different community actions meant to reduce homelessness.

Paul Horn, one of the proj-ect’s leaders, said the inaugu-ral dinner has to be consid-ered a success.

“It went really well. I think a lot of people reported after-wards that it was reaffirming that we live in a community that’s just very motivated to help each other and to do something about the prob-lem of homelessness. It was a great kick-off,” said Horn.

The evening provided an op-

portunity to exchange ideas. Horn said it was a chance for people who live with the ex-perience of homelessness to communicate to agencies and government about what they need and what their reality is.

“It’s about building relation-ships. It’s about having people get to know their neighbours and organically finding ways to help each other and to part-ner with each other.”

The next dinner will take place in early December. The date has not yet been set.

Anyone who want to help can call Horn at 604-897-0239 or look for the Stone Soup Facebook page.

OPINION Published & printed by Black Press Ltd. at 33047 First Avenue, Mission V2V 1G2

Last week, organizers of the Stone Soup Initiative held a community dinner, at-tracting more than 50 people to come out, share their stories and ideas, and enjoy a hot meal.

It is a small but needed step to address-ing the issues of hunger and homeless-ness in Mission.

The dinner, which organizers say will become a monthly event, brings together people from across the community. For some, homelessness is just a concept, for others a stark reality.

Hopefully, by bringing people together, an open discussion on how to find real solutions can begin.

Homelessness and hunger is an issue

that will receive a lot of media play in the coming month.

The holiday season always helps to raise awareness for those who need help to feed themselves and find shelter.

In Mission, the St. Joseph’s Food Bank opened a new facility; the Christmas Bureau is preparing to kick off its cam-paign; and funding has been announced for emergency shelters to protect people during extreme cold weather.

At this time of year, homelessness and needs are in the public spotlight, and community groups need to capitalize on the attention – not just for much needed funding and donations, but also for new ideas and solutions.

QUESTION OF THE WEEKHave you, or someone you’ve known, ever gone hungry or homeless?

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:Do you feel a 1.68% tax increase in 2016 is reasonable?Here’s how you responded: Yes 32% No 68%

YOUR VIEWSObservatory is a ‘huge loss’


Re: The cancellation of the observatory project.Councillor Stevens calls this move “a little bit of

a tragedy.” That’s a little bit shy of accurate: it’s a huge loss to Mission, something that would have put us in the spotlight.

Council comments from day one have been misleading or inaccurate. Contrary to statements that appeared in the article, the whole concept was thoroughly researched, and recommenda-tions and input from some leading astronomical people were incorporated. Our estimates were very close to our actuals as funds were expended to date, and we would have completed within our predicted $300,000, not the $1 million council came up with.

To say no consideration was given to mainte-nance, security and volunteer training is simply wrong: each was thoroughly considered and planned. Concerns about “optimum conditions for telescope use?” Sure – if we were planning a dark sky observatory in the backwoods, but we weren’t – we were planning a publicly accessible “popular astronomy” site, ideally situated to wel-come large numbers of people excited to learn about the night sky.

Our field-trip-based business model and vol-

unteer operation concept is used successfully by non-profits elsewhere, and was vetted by several professional people who confirmed we were on the right track.

So, shame on Mission’s short-sighted council for cancelling this project. Oh…and it’s interest-ing that the mayor declared “The Observatory project is dead” many weeks ago, long before council even voted on it.

But that appears to be the way Mission is being run these days. This is a sad time for our fair city, which badly needs the tourism infusion this project would have brought here, at no cost to Mission taxpayers at all.

Brian AntonsonMission

The letter concern-ing the animal control presentation at council, on October 30, struck a deep chord with me as many times at previ-ous councils I have wit-nessed people treated just as the letter de-scribed, subjected to emotional stress, on the face of it ignored and most certainly not lis-tened to and left in no doubt that unless one agreed with council’s opinions then a person would be better off to just silently disappear.

For sure I know there are many, many citi-zens who have suffered as I did, many times over, intimidated, ver-bally and emotionally abused, when we were only trying to exercise our democratic rights to express an opinion, hoping and thinking we could actually make a

difference to the out-come of the Council’s decision.

Hope sprang eternal!But no, as Maureen

Harper’s letter stated, obviously it is business as usual.

Time has changed nothing. Certainly, compensation has been awarded for lesser in-sults.

I too disagree with all animal control being taken over by Chilliwack as it is a long way to go to retrieve an animal, and certainly it will be an escalating cost for Mission residents.

It will be poetic justice if councillors who voted to move all animal con-trol to Chilliwack are the first to find their animals being taken to Chilliwack.

Jeanette SmithMission

Not everyone agrees with council’s opinion

I read with concern and agreed with Maureen Harper’s recent letter to the editor re: “Mission Council ignore a presentation Diane Davies” about losing the area’s dog pound and people having to drive to Chilliwack to collect their wayward pet.

But even worse is the allegation that a citizen’s petition was not politely listened to, and she was not even thanked for presenting it. It is hard for me to believe such a lack of basic manners exists in local government.

Public officials should remember they are elected, and rudeness by them will be long remembered by our citizens.

Random act of kindnessSave-On-Foods staff give away free foodKevin MillsMission Record

Passengers on the West Coast Express received a welcome surprise last Thursday night.

Staff from the Mission Save-On-Foods store were at the station handing out free bags of food.

The random act of kindness was part of the food chain’s “going the extra mile” campaign.

“We handed out 40 bags full of ingredients for dinner tonight,” explained Jim Shaw, manager of the Mission store.

As commuters got off the train, staff and volun-teers greeted them with the free food bags.

“People were very happy. Some were surprised, because they didn’t know what we were doing, but once we said ‘Would you like dinner on Save-On-Foods?’ they happily took it,” said Shaw.

All of the 40 bags were handed out in less than a minute.

Jamie Sayers, a marketing specialist with the Overwaitea Food Group, was on hand at the give-away and she was happy with how smoothly the event went.

“This is just another opportunity that we can go the extra mile for our neighbours,” said Sayers.

Shaw agreed with those sentiments adding Save-On-Foods in Mission is always looking for ways to stay involved with the community.

“We take pride in what we do in the community of Mission,” said Shaw.

That community service includes huge donations to both of Mission’s food banks. Shaw estimates that Save-On-Foods donates between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds of food to the Mission Community Services Food Bank and an additional 2,000 to 5,000 pounds to St. Joseph’s Food Bank.

With the holiday season fast approach-ing, the Mission Downtown Business Association is gearing up for its annual Customer Appreciation event.

On Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5 to 8 p.m., participating businesses in the downtown core will offer special sales, discounts, prizes, treats and a whole lot more in order to start the holiday season off on the right foot.

“This is our kick-off to the Christmas

Shopping season for anybody who wishes to support local businesses,” ex-plained Jamie Hayes, executive direc-tor of the Mission Downtown Business Association.

“It’s our chance to put our best foot forward. Our businesses put on big sales, promotions, they have prizes, refresh-ments, entertainment, coupons and it’s a great time to come out and support your local businesses.”

Hayes said the event has a fun, casu-al atmosphere and allows shoppers to meet local merchants who they may not have met before, while still getting a great deal.

“Be sure to come down and enjoy dinner at one of our many restaurants before you start shopping,” added Hayes, who called the customer appreciation day a “well-loved event that Mission an-ticipates every year.”

Licensing made permanentMission council has approved

making the inter-municipal business licence permanent for contractors in the construction industry.

Mission was part of a group of nine Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley municipalities to begin the inter-municipal li-cence program on a test basis in 2012. The licences, which cost $250 per year, are sold in the home municipality of the contractor, who must also have a business licence in that city. They can then be used in each of the municipalities that have signed on to the program.

In addition to the program being made permanent,

the District of Kent and the Corporation of Delta are now joining in. That will mean the licences are valid in all mu-nicipalities from Delta on the south side of the river and Pitt Meadows on the north side to Hope in the east, with the exceptions of White Rock and Harrison Hot Springs.

The joint committee which has recommended the program be made permanent agreed that the mobile business li-cences would not work outside the construction industry, as “broadening the list of eligible business types beyond the con-struction industry could pose considerable risk in that the by-

laws of a participating munici-pality could be compromised.”

The types of business that qualify for the licences has been broadened slightly to include those that do maintenance and repair of land and buildings. Thus companies such as carpet cleaning services and janitorial firms could get such a licence.

In 2014, Mission sold 84 in-ter-municipal business licenc-es. Surrey, the largest city taking part in the program, sold 439 licences, while Abbotsford sold 404. Each municipality keeps 90 per cent of the revenue from the licences, and shares the other 10 per cent with the re-maining participants.

The congregation of Mission’s Cedar Valley Mennonite Church has voted to sponsor a refu-gee family. The initiative was sparked by the recent refugee crisis in Syria but it is unlike-ly that suitable Syrian refugees have yet been cleared to come to Canada.

The refugee co-ordinator at the Mennonite Central Committee told the congregation that there

are approximately 400 refugees from around the world who have already been cleared for settle-ment in Canada. A 20-page list of potential settlers was given to a church committee which sought to find the best fit between what the refugees need and what the congregation can offer.

Cedar Valley will contribute to the family’s expenses for the first year and is now seeking housing

for the family it chooses. The congregation also hopes that an-other group or church in Mission will consider sponsoring a relat-ed family, which will help ease the transition to a new culture for both families.

If anyone has a suitable house available or would like to spon-sor an additional family please contact Cedar Valley Mennonite Church at 604-826-2445.

Mission’s Liz Janze has dove head and feet first into the sport of bobsleigh.

After years of com-petitive speed skating, she has dedicated her-self to pushing a sev-eral-hundred-pound sled as fast as possible. So far, the results have been promising.

“It’s going really well,” she said, of her

entry into the sport. “Big improvements have been made since March with my sprint-ing ability and just my overall strength.”

This summer Janze delved into intense training with the sport and later this fall com-peted at Team Canada selections.

“Over the sum-mer what I did was icehouse sessions,” she said. “There’s an indoor ice hill at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary and it was a lot of practising my bobsleigh push. We go down the hill and back up and only have to focus on the technique of the push, I worked on that all summer.”

Janze then used all of that training to be a brakeman at the Team Canada selections in October. She said being around the best Canada has to offer in the sport ignited her passion for bobsleigh.

“That was an amaz-ing experience,” she said. “Spending two weeks at the track and just seeing the professionalism of the Olympic and pro-vincial competitors, I couldn’t help but step up my game. With bobsleigh you have to get the etiquette of the sport quickly and working with all

these athletes left me so hungry to strive for excellence. I want to build on that.”

She worked with sev-eral different athletes during the selections as a brakeman, help-ing athletes with their initial push and then pulling the brakes at the end.

“The key part for a brakeman is to have a fast push,” she said. “You’re pushing a 300- to 400-pound sled as fast as you can and then hop in.”

Bobsleigh athletes reach speeds of well over 100 kilometres per hour, and Janze said she’s been doing a lot of two-person rac-ing but is also open to four person.

“It’s faster and the sled is heavier but it’s

more comfy,” she said, laughing.

The 21-year-old is starting the sport at the right age. Janze pointed out that many of the elite athletes in the sport are between the ages of 25 to 30.

“I have lots of time to grow and develop,” she said. “It’s making me more determined. I think I have at least six more years in the sport, and I want to get on the World Cup circuit, hopefully in a year or two.”

She said she needs to work on getting her sprint times down, noting she’s shaved off three-tenths of a second this summer and she’s approach-ing the national sprint standard. She said her strength coach said he’s happy with her progress.

While training for bobsleigh, Janze is liv-ing in Calgary and at-tending the University of Calgary. She has also recently become an ambassador for KidSportBC, and she’s hoping to work direct-ly with Mission youth when she returns home.

“Reducing financial barriers for kids to participate in sports is something KidSport and myself are pas-sionate about,” she said. “No kid should get left off the side-lines, and sport has so much more to offer than just physical ac-tivity. I’m happy to be a part of it.”

Janze said she’s also looking for sponsor-ship opportunities with local business-es, and all interested can contact her at [email protected].

Government Engagement and Policy is a focus for your Chamber of Commerce

The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce, Through its Government Affairs Committee, believes in strong advocacy and is committed to representing the common sense business values and innovative thinking which makes Mission and the surrounding region a great place for business to prosper!

Recently Canada’s Chambers of Commerce gathered at this year’s AGM in Ottawa, the weekend

before the federal election, to put policies in place to engage the newly elected Liberal government, 10 B.C. crafted policies will be a part of the Canadian Chamber and BC Chambers federal advocacy efforts for the next three years.

“We want to congratulate Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberal team

on winning a majority government.” said Jon Garson, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “The BC

Chamber looks forward to working with the newly elected government to move the policy agenda set at the Canadian Chamber AGM forward, policies built by BC Chambers for the benefit of B.C. and Canada’s business community alike.

Garson added. Our role as Chambers of Commerce is to be the ‘Voice of Business’.

At this year’s Canadian AGM, BC Chambers put forward and business leaders across Canada have stood together to

call for opening up trade with the Asia-Pacific, expanding needed oil pipeline infrastructure, a renewed focus on the Canada-US Border Pact, and further development of the renewable and clean technologies sector. The BC Chamber will be sure to work closely with the newly elected federal government, while keeping them to task, ensuring businesses in our province and across our country are competitive.

“B.C.’s Chamber network had great success at this year’s Canadian Chamber AGM. We are proud of the policies put forward. These policies are of major significance to our province that will keep our economy strong and moving forward” said Garson.

Policies for which the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is taking a leading or active roll in include; advocacy for the Fraser River, mobile business licensing, liquor reform, effective land

use, rehabilitation of drug affected properties and transportation planning. We have also regularly participated in consultation for governmental budget development as well as a variety of one to one member to Government facilitation’s when the need arises.

Your Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce continues to be an active liaison between Chamber

Members and all levelsof Government. We are Mission's “Voice of Business”

impacts for our local economyLocal businesses strengthen

communities, build resilience and foster innovation. They create good jobs, support local charities, contribute significantly to our tax base and re-circulate the dollars they make many times locally by using other local businesses as suppliers for marketing, financial, legal and other services.

Reduced Footprint – local businesses reduce transportation impacts associated with global supply chains when they work with local producers, manufacturers and distributers.

Jobs and wages – local businesses hire locally, creating jobs and circulating wages.

Banking- local businesses often keep banking local. Those local bank and credit unions then finance other local businesses and community groups.

Infrastructure – local businesses have a greater share of operations here, contributing more of their taxes to our essential services like roads, transit, parks and community centres.

Local purchasing – local business typically buy marketing, accounting, legal, maintenance and other services from other local businesses.

Charitable giving – local business give five times more per dollar of revenue to groups in their communities.

While businesses everywhere strive to provide a full customer experience, very few are recognized for it formally by their customers and business com-munity.

Lanka Jewels, this year’s recipient of the Mission Regional Chamber of Com-merce Business Excellence – Customer Experience Award, opened its doors in Mission in 1979. Since then, owner Ken Selvaraja and his team, which has grown in its 36 years, have worked hard to earn people’s trust.

To receive the award, a business must demonstrate special consideration for customers, ongoing employee training and a high level of understanding and commitment to service excellence.

“Customer service isn’t something we do; it’s not something we’re conscious of,” said Selvaraja. “It’s the result of us

just doing what we always do—listen-ing to customers, understanding what they need and delivering so they have the best experience possible.”

“When a grown man from outside Mission comes in because his grand-mother said ‘Go see Ken at Lanka’, then I know we’ve built trust—multigenera-tional trust.”

The staff at Lanka Jewels train to achieve a level of professionalism that they pass on to customers, regardless of the dollar value of the purchase. Everyone receives the same care and attention at Lanka, from the person coming with a small repair to the child using his or her allowance to buy a Mother’s Day gift to the person who decides to commission a custom-made piece of jewelry.

Selvaraja and his team consider the entire community, not just individuals,

in its day-to-day activities: “We count on the community, so we like to make sure we give back.”

Over the years, Lanka Jewels has participated in charitable events and fundraisers for local schools, churches, non-profi t organizations, as well as for those international in scope.

Most recently, Selvaraja designed and donated a pendant valued at $4,000 for the fall fundraising eff orts of Stone Soup, a forum to facilitate the coming together of the public to tackle home-lessness. Anything Possible, a Mission Community Services initiative, will re-ceive the proceeds.

Lanka Jewels is at #326 – 32555 Lon-don Ave., Mission, in The Junction Shopping Centre. For more informa-tion, visit www.LankaJewels.com or call 604-826-5766.

Paint the Town YellowShop The Neighbourhood is a Yellow Pages initiative to encourage local shopping and support for small and medium businesses. Shop The Neighbourhood will take place on Saturday, November 28th, between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, two shopping days notorious for driving dollars online or across the border.

Allison, Member services coordinator for the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce will be in the community Painting the Town Yellow with all her swag giveaways courtesy of Yellow pages.

It’s countdown to that time of year again with only 41 shopping days until Christmas! (Start shopping locally now and avoid the crowds). The more

important countdown is for Mission’s Candlelight Parade. Celebrating its 32nd year the Mission Chamber of Commerce is proud to work in partnership with

key community businesses and individuals to bring the largest nighttime parade in Western Canada.

SO MARK THE DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 4TH AT 7:30PM To register a float in this year’s parade go to www.MissionChamber.bc.ca –

UFV Graphic & Digital Design program helps Relaunch Mission’s Biz-e-news For those of you who are

unfamiliar with the name, the Mission Biz-e-news is a publication focused on the business, investment and development community in the Lower Mainland. Subscribers include business owners, managers, realtors, developers, investors and interested local community members who like to stay engaged with local business activity and growth. Featured stories include major project updates, sector development initiatives in areas like tourism, film and technology, and business spotlights that feature the success of our home grown entrepreneurs.

Working in partnership with Mission’s very own University of the Fraser Valley, Graphic & Digital Design Department, a new sleek look has been created with “hot off the press” stories

sent directly to your e-mail.

Graphic and digital design students were challenged with the task, given nothing more than the original layout and a design brief, with the mandate to create a newsletter format that was in keeping with the interests of the business community. The class worked in teams and the final work was presented to District of Mission staff Stacey Crawford (Economic Development Officer) and Michael Boronowski (Manager of Civic Engagement & Corporate Initiatives).

Congratulations to the successful team, Nicole Hatter, Shayleen Bain, Eugene Kulaga, Paige Nelmes and Shelby Smithson. When asked how they worked through the process they advised it began with brainstorming the logo, which then allowed them

to refine the typography and colour scheme. They also researched many websites to create the most user friendly platform.

The University prides itself on giving students the opportunity to do class assignments based on real world projects. The group added “We would like to thank Mission Biz-e-news for choosing our design and for the honorarium donated to the Graphic & Digital Design program which will go towards our portfolio show in April.”

Check out the Biz-e-news for yourself at www.missionbizenews.ca

For further examples of the Graphic & Digital Design programs work, the community is invited to attend their next fundraising event “Don’t Stay Home Alone” on November 28, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. at Finnegan’s Pub in Abbotsford.

The annual Candlelight Parade will return to Mission on Dec. 4.

Put on your winter coat, boots and mitts for the 7:30 p.m. start of Mission’s Candlelight Parade, one of the largest night time pa-rades in B.C. The public is invited to come watch the floats strut to holiday tunes down Mission’s First Avenue between Horne and Park.

Attendees are advised to come early to get a great spot, and a donation of non-perishable items for the Mission Christmas Bureau is appreciated.

Volunteers will be collecting items up and down the parade route before the festivities begin.

Highway 7 closes at 6 p.m. along the parade route so come early, grab some dinner and dress warmly. You better watch out, Santa is on his way!

The changes to last year’s traf-fic plan were so successful, the same route and road closures will be implemented again this year, during the parade.

Highway 7 will be closed from Murray to Haig Street (entrance to Mission Hills Mall). Road closures begin at 6 p.m. and will end at 10 p.m.

Both directions of the Lougheed will be effected.

For information on the parade go to www.MissionChamber.bc.ca.

The annual Mission Candlelight Parade is set for Dec. 4. The parade runs down First Avenue beginning at 7:30 p.m. BOB FRIESEN file photo

Candlelight Parade a holiday tradition

• The candlelight parade origi-nally started as a day parade more than 40 years ago and has operated as a nighttime parade for 32 years.

• It has only been cancelled once due to snow.

• Over 14,000 spectators attend annually from as far away as White Rock, Bellingham and Hope.

• An average of 70 floats par-ticipate each year, from bands to schools to businesses. Entrants come from all over the Lower Main-land. They are judged by a panel of judges.

• Mission Chamber of Commerce has organized the parade for the last 27 years.

The 21st annual Realtors Care Blanket Drive kicks off on Nov. 16. The program is the Lower Mainland’s largest and lon-gest-running blanket drive.

Each year, the drive provides warm clothing and blankets to more than 19,000 Lower Mainland residents in need.

In Mission, the drive will sup-port five organizations – Lydia Home, Hope Central Ministry, Mission Community Services, the Mission Friendship Centre, and Mission Youth House.

These groups do incredible work and this year organizers are hoping to help them get the resources they need.

In particular the groups need:❑ Lydia Home: Women’s win-

ter coats and blankets;❑ Hope Central Ministry:

Blankets and winter jackets;❑ Mission Community

Services: Bedding and blankets in new or like-new condition;❑ Mission Friendship Centre:

Blankets and coats;❑ Mission Youth House:

Winter jackets, gloves, rain proof coats, sleeping bags, and new socks.

From Nov. 16 to 23, volunteer realtors across the region will work with their clients to co-ordinate donations of blankets and warm winter clothing for those most in need. The dona-tions are then sorted and de-livered to charities in the same community in which they were

collected.“The need is real and your

donations make a differ-ence. We’re looking for blan-kets, coats, gloves and other warm winter clothing for men, women and children,” said Jorda Maisey, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.

Anyone with donations can drop them off at one of the 100-plus participating real es-tate offices. In Mission, you can drop off donations at HomeLife Glenayre Realty (1-32540 Logan Ave.), Landmark Realty (103-32471 Lougheed Hwy.), RE/MAX Little Oak Realty (33119 First Ave.) and Royal LePage Wheeler Cheam Realty (33174 First Ave.).

This November, be the somebody who saves a life.

If you witnessed a family member in cardiac arrest, would you know what to do?

Although the majority of Canadians say they would recog-nize the signs if someone were ex-periencing a heart attack or another cardiac emergency, fewer than half say they have the skills to help in this common and life-threatening emergency.

November is CPR Month and the Rotary Club of Mission Mid-day and Immediate First Aid challenges ev-eryone in Mission to get the training they need to help save a life.

Saturday, Nov. 21 will be CPR Challenge Day at Heritage Park

Middle School.Rotary and Immediate First Aid

will be offering free, non-certified CPR training provided by certified Red Cross instructors and hope to teach lifesaving skills to as many residents as possible.

Effective bystander CPR, when used in conjunction with an AED and administered immediately fol-lowing cardiac arrest, can double a person’s chance of survival.

More than 50,000 Canadians die of heart disease every year. Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians who have had to perform first aid did so to help a family member.

Visit immediatefirstaid.ca for more information and to register for this opportunity to save a life.

Soroptimists hold info meetingSoroptimist International of Abbotsford-

Mission will host an information session on Nov. 25 for anyone who want to learn more about the club and the work it does.

OF THE WEEK!

?QUESTION

Canadian auto TestFest fi estaThe Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) has just completed TestFest, an annual four-day intensive vehicle evaluation driving event.TestFest establishes core groundwork for a thorough voting process that will ultimately determine the 2016 Canadian Car of the Year, the 2016 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, the 2016 Canadian Green Car and the 2016 Green Utility Vehicle of the Year.This year more than 80 auto media experts were invited to do back-to-back evaluations of the 122 new vehicles assembled at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Clarington, Ontario, which is also a new staging location for the event. In addition to its well-known high-speed track, this racing facility was also able to provided a low-speed handling course and, in my opinion, the best off-road course in the history of the annual event. As always, designated routes on public roads, specific to the category of vehicle, were also incorporated. Nine category winners, from TestFest, will be announced by AJAC on November 24 and the overall winners will be announced at 2016 auto shows in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Category entry information, photos and some interesting drone-filmed videos taken at this year’s TestFest are already viewable on the AJAC web site (ajac.ca) and all the compiled stats and voting details will follow later. More “green” vehicle entries, than in previous years, will allow the presentation of two awards (for both car and utility) at next year’s Vancouver Auto Show. The car entries included an all-new Chevrolet Volt,

a restyled little smart fortwo (it finally has smooth shifting automatic transmission), a new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with a no-compromise flat-floor trunk, plus an all-new Honda Civic that’s wider, yet lighter and claims outstanding fuel economy.The green utility entries come in a diverse range of price and size. Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 compete head-to-head in the affordable small crossover utility segment. On the other hand, a luxurious Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid is sure to make the neighbors green with envy. The mid-sized GMC Canyon pickup truck is now available with an all-new fuel-efficient 2.8L I-4 Turbo Diesel engine. Finally yet importantly, Hyundai deserves a gutsy award for stepping-up and offering the very first hydrogen fueled fuel cell vehicle to Canadian

buyers, in a dedicated front-drive version of Tucson, its compact crossover. “Our program is testing‐based, and driven by data and weighted scoring,” said Justin Pritchard, CCOTY co‐chair. “Dozens of experienced vehicle testers drive dozens of vehicles, back to back, over several days. This testing process generates thousands of data points. We share every aspect of this test data online, so shoppers can see exactly how a given vehicle won its category or how it stacked up to the category winner.”

DEYSCornelia (Corry) Maaike

Sister, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt and Friend, Corry was born on June 30, 1939 in Harlingen, Netherlands. She moved to Canada in 1954 where she began her greatest adven-ture of raising a family. Corry was known as a friendly bus driver, a great cook, and a generous woman. Her life was not always easy but she tried to make the best of every situation by “letting go and letting God.” She pur-sued a career in health care

and was passionate about helping others. Corry passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully in her home, on October 25, 2015. She is deeply missed by her children: Martin de Jong, Peter de Jong (Dawne), Maxine de Jong, David de Jong (Christine), her 13 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, her siblings: John Deys (Joan), Bernie Deys (Maureen), Joanne Hart (Ken), and her nieces and nephews. She found peace, and for that we are truly grateful.

“The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they fi nd rest as they lie in death.” Isaiah 57:1-2

There will be a celebration of Mom’s life for family and friends on Sunday, November 22nd at 3:00. For more information please contact Martin at [email protected]
