mArio BArtel/neWsleAderCorey Hansen, an emergency planning assistant for the City of New Westminster, Todd Gardiner, a fire inspector, and Dan Wilson, the fire prevention captain with theNew West fire department, consult a map book the department uses when responding to emergency situations. The city is holding a bike race to increase the awarenessof emergency preparedness and the role bicycles can play in helping people get around during a disaster.

Biking to survive the Big Onemario Bartelphoto@newwestnewsleader.

The Lower Mainland hasbeen devastated by a majorearthquake. The streets of NewWestminster are cracked andbroken, littered with fallen bricksand masonry. Gas and waterlines have ruptured, buildings areablaze. Bridges are damaged.So the first thing the city’s

emergency services want residentsto do is… go for a bike ride.That’s the idea behind New

West’s second Amazing Disaster

Rally to be held May 9 from 9a.m. to 1 p.m. at Queen’s ParkStadium. From there competitorswill pedal 25 km around the cityto various check points wherethey will be challenged by a seriesof tasks to test their emergencyand safety preparedness. They’llhave to carry their own maps andinstructions, bottled water andassigned cargo that will help themcomplete their tasks.It’s a fun event with a serious

purpose, said Cory Hansen, anemergency planning assistant for

the city of NewWest.When roads are blocked and

neighbourhoods littered withdebris, bikes can be quick, safemode of transport for residents toreach safety or to ensure the safetyof their families and neighboursby using them to fetch supplies.That’s not lost on the city’s

emergency services.The NewWestminster police

department already has a bikepatrol and Dan Wilson, a fireprevention captain for the city’sfire department, said bikes could

be a valuable tool for firefightersto reconnoiter damagedneighbourhoods.“It’s a good reason to keep a

bike around,” said Wilson, whoconcedes the city’s fire halls aren’tequipped with bikes. Yet.Hansen said the ubiquity of

bikes makes them an importantcomponent of any disaster plan.“Everyone can get access to a

bike,” she said.The rally is still looking for

volunteers. Email [email protected] or call 604-515-3794.

Buildingbegins onfirst rentalhigh risein yearsmario [email protected]

The first mounds of earth havebarely been moved to dig thefoundation for a new 26-storeyrental high-rise Downtown, andthe developer is already castingabout for more opportunities inNewWest.Sam Hanson, the president

of South Street DevelopmentGroup, said the new tower at thecorner of Sixth and Carnarvonstreets will be the first of its kindin the city in 30 years. He doesn’twant it to be the last.Hanson said the combination

of low interest rates andan accommodating civicadministration has made thedevelopment of new rentalhousing financial viable.Ironically, the new interest

in the city by big-time condodevelopers makes him confidenthe’ll rent all the tower’s 282apartments and townhouses.Having other options available

to people who want to call NewWestminster home enhances thecity’s vitality, said Cori LynnGermiquet, the CEO of theChamber of Commerce. “Peoplewant to live in the communitywhere they work. We have to makesure there are affordable option.”Hanson credited the city with

doing everything possible toensure it’s realized.

NewWestminster council is going to revisit itsdecision to cancel the Lancer dance as part of thecity’s annual May Day banquet.That’s the assurance mayor Jonathan Coté gave a

packed council chambers Monday (April 13) aftercouncil heard more than an hour of impassioneddelegations imploring the longstanding traditionaldances with the Lancers and the May Queen Suite begiven a reprieve.“I want to make sure we are going to take some

time to reflect on the comments that have been made,”said Coté, who promised council will consider thosecomments at next Monday’s meeting.Council decided to cancel the dance after receiving

a letter from school district superintendent JohnGaiptman that stated the Lancers “are not consideredschool district volunteers” and the district only takesresponsibility for the daytime May Day festivities.The evening banquet “is a city function, it’s not a

school district function,” he said.Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said council decided

during a closed meeting to excise the Lancer dance aspart of the city’s effort to modernize May Day.That process troubled some of the delegations who

spoke at Monday’s council meeting.“It’s a betrayal of process,” said former school

trustee Lisa Graham. “It’s an excellent way to wakeup sleepy NewWestminster.”That may have been the understatement of the

evening.Several times the gallery had to be admonished for

cheering speakers and jeering councillors. Some ofthe speakers, who included former and current MayQueens, fought back tears.“There’s certainly a lot of passion on the issue,”

said Coté.David MacGrotty, the chair of the Royal Lancers

for the past eight years, said his group of communityleaders would have liked to have been consultedbefore council made its decision.“Not all history is bricks and mortar,” he said.

“Council would have full consultation to tear down a100 year-old building or tree.”A former Lancer, Doug Walker, said the group

would be happy to talk with council about anychanges needed to the dance to address concerns.

“I don’t say theLancers are opposedto changes,” he said.“It’s not something onechanges or eliminatesbecause the city says thisis our banquet and we’regoing to take our balland go home.”Coun. Jaimie

McEvoy suggested apossible compromisecould include writtenguidelines and policiesfor the interactionsbetween the adultLancers and young MayQueen Suite, which iscomprised of girls inGrade 5 from the city’selementary schools.“Are there guidelines

or policies in placefor this activity?” saidMcEvoy.“Every organization has

guidelines.”The inference that

something untowardmay occur didn’t sit wellwith the Lancer dance

supporters.“Never is a Royal Lancer

alone with a child at anytime,” said MacGrotty,who then suggested hisgroup would be open todiscussing firm policies.

“We feel this isimportant enough.”“This is community

building,” saidGraham. “It’s a positiveexperience for everyoneinvolved.”“The dance brings

generations together,”said Bud Sage. “In 110years, there’s not beenone problem.”The dance is

“universally seen as apositive experience,”said Lorraine Brett,who completed a videoproject interviewingformer May Queens.That was reinforced

by Cassidy Tecklenborg,the city’s reigningMay Queen, followingthe footsteps of hergrandmother and aunt

who also led the May DayRoyal Suite.“For me dancing with

the Lancers is just superfun,” she said. “It’s too badnobody asked us.”

Conservationists say federalfishery managers allowed seriousoverfishing of Fraser Riversockeye salmon last summer andtoo few fish spawned as a result.And they say a continued

policy of allowing overlyaggressive commercial fishingthreatens to wallop vulnerablesalmon runs again this summer.Last year saw a large run of 20

million sockeye butWatershedWatch Salmon Society executivedirector AaronHill said the numberthat actually spawned ended up1.4million below the target of 7.3million set by theDepartment ofFisheries andOceans.The spawning shortfall would

have been nearly three million or41 per cent below the target hadfishermen taken all the sockeyethey’d been allocated.The endangered Cultus Lake

sockeye and Interior coho runswere among the stocks thatfell dangerously short of theirspawning targets last year, Hillsaid, raising doubts about thestrength of future generations.Salmon fromweak runs return

intermingled with the strong stocksand can get hammered as anunintended bycatch unless fishingis carefully restrained to ensureconservation.Last year DFO riled First

Nations and conservationistswhen it quadrupled the maximumcatch by Canadian fishermenof the coho run – from four percent in previous years to 16 percent – effectively sacrificing morethreatened coho so abundantsockeye could be caught.This year’s fishing plan would

maintain the same higher limitsset last year. Hill said that’s a badidea, since this year’s sockeye runis projected to be lower at around

seven million and environmentalconditions appear troubling.“This year we’re looking at a

massive unprecedented warmingevent in the north Pacific, recordlow snowpacks and concernsabout marine productivity ingeneral. It’s too risky,”Hill said.A large pink salmon run is

also expected this year andthere’s growing evidence thatcompetititon from pinks for foodat sea is hurting sockeye survival.

The Front Street parkadecan still be an elevated park.It can still be used for uniqueprogramming like cultural eventsand markets.It just doesn’t have to stretch all

the way along Front from FourthStreet in the east to Begbie at thewestern end, NewWest councillorPatrick Johnstone remindedproponents fighting a last-ditchbattle to save part of the structurefrom the wrecking ball.“We’re not removing the entire

parkade, we’re maintaining alarge portion,” said Johnstone.“There is an interesting potentialfor what we can do in this space.There’s a lot of ways we canrepurpose parts of this parkade.It’s a unique location.”But a series of delegations at

Monday’s city council meetingimplored the city to hold off onits plan to demolish the westernhalf of the waterfront parkingstructure.That work, along with the $5

million refurbishment of theparkade’s 200-metre-long easternportion and the construction of amews on Front Street, is about togo to tender.On Saturday, a handful of

parkade supporters gathered atthe corner of Front andMcKenziestreets to monitor a soundlevel meter provided by retiredacoustical engineer DougWicker.He said the parkade shields

residents in new condo towers aswell as those who will live or workin future buildings along FrontStreet from the noise of passingtrucks and trains that use thebusy transportation corridor.

“It would be a sorry mistaketo proceed with this demolition,”said Wicker.A similar rally two weeks ago

attracted a couple of dozensupporters who heard parkadeproponents pitch ideas liketurning the parkade into anelevated greenway similar to thefamous High Line park in NewYork City that is built atop anabandoned rail guideway.That’s the vision shared by

Elizabeth Mueller, who toldcouncil the city should take the“opportunity to turn it into abeautiful space” that has the“potential to outshine GranvilleIsland, Gastown and Yaletown”in Vancouver.“The waterfront is a hidden

gem waiting to be discovered bythe outside world,” said Mueller.

It was a sunny afternoonon April 8, and a group of 17youth from NewWestminsterheaded to our MLA’s officeto talk climate action. We’dcollected hundreds of signatureson a petition in opposition tothe expansion of the FraserSurrey Docks coal port.Here in NewWest, the

expansion of the coal portwill have direct impacts. We’reacross the river from thefacility, which has the potentialto release toxic coal dust intothe air and waters that ourcommunity relies on. Perhapseven more disconcerting arethe global effects of burningan additional eight milliontons per year of thermal coal– a dirty fossil fuel which willcontribute to the devastatingeffects of climate change.As citizens, we don’t have

much to gain from thisproject – it will ship U.S. coalto Chinese markets, and willprovide very few permanentjobs. Yet we’ve had very littleinput into the decision madeby the non-elected board atthe Port of Metro Vancouver,despite being the generationthat has to live with the effectsof the expansion project.So, as engaged young people,

we decided to ask our electedofficials to stand up for ourfuture in opposition to thisproject. We felt the strengthof our group as we walkedinto MLA Judy Darcy’s office,especially knowing that youthin 20 other ridings were doingthe same.We jumped into discussing

the issue of thermal coal

exports in B.C. As theprovincial health critic, Ms.Darcy had concerns about theimpacts of coal dust on theair and water quality in ourcommunity and in other partsof B.C.We asked Ms. Darcy to sign

a declaration which stated “Icommit to stop new thermalcoal exports in B.C.”Key wordswere ‘new’, meaning it wouldn’tinclude projects that alreadyexist, and ‘thermal’, meaning itincluded only the high-emittingcoal that is burnt for energy,and not metallurgical coal,which is used to make steel.Ms. Darcy informed us that

while she supports meetingB.C.’s targets to reducegreenhouse gas emissions by 33per cent by 2020, she can’t signa declaration as the NDP doesnot have a policy on thermalcoal exports. She did not want tomake a policy statement that wasout of line with that of her party.I remember talking to an

adult who told me, “you are solucky to be young – youth haveso much power!” Because ofthe concentration of power inthe traditional political system,I hadn’t really considered theunique influence that comeswith being a kid.Defend Our Future reminded

me that we are capable ofmaking change, if we informourselves and organizetogether. We’ll see whathappens in the Legislature –perhaps the discourse aroundthis project will re-emerge. Andwe’ll keep organizing until wesee meaningful climate action.Sadie DeCoste is a Grade 11

student at New WestminsterSecondary School.

Sockeye overfishing risks salmon future: conservationists


comment: Welcome, Urban AcademyOur nearby neighbour, Urban Academy,

has submitted an application to expandits school site in Queen’s Park. Theproposal would see the old Robson Manorrestored and a new modern facility builtsurrounding the manor and on the sitedirectly behind it. A small, worn outbuilding exists on that site and would needto come down.I can’t believe people would complain

thata modern-style building has no place inQueen’s Park.I would argue that the new building

complements the heritage buildingand makes Robson Manor look morelike a grand focal point rather than anawkwardly located manor sandwichedbetween a 10-storey 1950s concrete highrise. and a badly aging three-storey rentalbuilding, both of which have brought otherchallenges to our neighbourhood.The Anvil Centre is a great example of

a modern building in a heritage district, asis the new Trapp & Holbrook residentialbuilding, which is a cool modern structureabove a classic heritage business frontage.It is 2015 for goodness sake, should we

not be building for the future rather thantrying to mimic the past? The heritagebuildings we hold dear are held in highregard because they are truly heritage notbecause they are knock offs.Have an open mind neighbours! A new

school building like the one proposed willactually increase our property values andimprove our neighbourhood.

Urban academy givesfamilies more optionsI am writing to express my support

for Urban Academy and the valueit has brought and will bring to thecommunity. Having additional schoolingoptions for young families is importantto any community. I graduated from aprivate school and wouldn’t have had theopportunity to do so were it not availableto my parents. It allowed them to make theinformed decision as to the school they bestsaw fit for my education. Living near ÉcoleQayqayt Elementary School, I can proudlysay that the school has only served to makethe community better. It has become aclose and walkable option for families.

stop the parkade’sdemolitionI enjoy walking on the quay and parkade

for exercise and for the incredible view ofthe Fraser River. This would be terrible ifit is demolished. How about keeping theparkade and creating a nice green space forthe residents to use and for friends, familyand the many tourists that come to theRoyal City? This can be a magical spot;the mews does not work for me and thereis plenty of concern in regards to what theMews would create for all of those trucksand us pedestrians. I would like to see thecity “stop” a demolition at this time.

Themajority of those surveyed statedthat when exposed to considerablebackground noise they are able tohear that something is being spoken,but can no longer discern preciselywhat is being said. The words seemblurredand indistinct.Butwhy is that?The effect tends to manifest itself incompany, or in the restaurant. It isthe high-pitched tones perceived atthe entrance to the cochlea that aredecisive when it comes to hearingthings accurately. In the majority ofcases these parts of the inner ear arethe first to be affected by noise oraging. As the high-pitched tones areno longerperceivedwell, the auditorycenter of the brain begins to struggleto decode language. It’s a bit like animage thatdoesn’t have enoughpixels.

New hearing chip developedSwiss audiologists have developeda new hearing chip that is designedto restore speech comprehension,particularly with hearing loss in thehigh-frequency range. People cantest the new Audéo V system byPhonak simply by calling now todo so. The test phase in particularis designed to clarify how speechcomprehension can be improved invarious situations and what role anew technology called “AutosenseOS” plays. The chip recognizeswhere the person being spoken to is

located and amplifies only his or hervoice, while ambient noise is loweredand the optimumhearing programsare seamlessly adjusted. Thanks toseveral synchronous microphones,the hearing system can detect soundin all directions and select the dir-ection that speech is coming fromwithin milliseconds. According toSwiss researchers, this significantlyaugments speech comprehension,especially in conversation.

Low snow levels makeflooding less likelyJeff [email protected]

Southwestern B.C. snowpack levelscontinue to be extremely low, accordingto the latest readings from B.C.’s RiverForecast Centre.The snow content in the alpine was 13

per cent on the South Coast, 26 per centin the Lower Fraser and 15 per cent onVancouver Island as of April 1.The lack of alpine snow makes spring

flooding less likely but could meandifficult conditions for returning salmon,dangerously dry forests during wildfireseason and potential water use restrictionsin some areas.The centre said temperatures were one to

three degrees above normal along the coastin March and three to five degrees abovenormal in the Interior.Most of the Interior has snowpacks

much closer to normal, but the provincialsnowpack as a whole is 73 per cent ofnormal – the second lowest B.C. average in31 years of records.

Third Evergreen sinkholeAnother sinkhole has opened along the

construction route of the new EvergreenLine SkyTrain extension from Burnaby toCoquitlam.The latest – the third so far – is a five-

new SkyTrain line’s expected opening dateof fall 2016, which was previously pushedback from the summer of 2016 due toslower than expected tunnelling.

Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud ownerof a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Wincontest.“I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest inelectric cars for some time but never dreamed Iwould own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keysoutside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley.“I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can getout of each charge… I’ll let you know!”With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a fullcharge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friendsand family in Vancouver.British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly sup-plied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest,which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, thebiggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater carwas displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recentVancouver International Auto Show,where it attracted thousands ofadmiring looks.SCRAP-IT announced its newincentive program in Drivewayjust before the show. It’s offer-ing a $3,000 rebate for electric carpurchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle.This is in addition to the newly announced provincialgovernment program.SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Ve-hicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times moreemissions than later models and electric vehicles haveeven much lower emissions.”Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on theSCRAP-IT.ca website.

Family wagon with sporty genesCompact crossovers are perfectfor moving families around incomfort and confidence, especial-ly when equipped with all wheeldrive (AWD).With so many new entries cominginto the market, challenging theestablished frontrunners likethe Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4and Ford Escape, each manufac-turer needs an angle. Mazda’sapproach with the 2016 CX-5is a sporty attitude and upscaleamenities. Mazda has taken theoriginal CX-5, which first arrivedin 2013 and has given it morefeatures, a new front design butkept the same “Zoom-Zoom”attitude.LooksThe Mazda CX-5 is not as bigas the CR-V or Nissan Rouge but larger thanthe VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson. It is smallenough to make city manoeuvering easybut large enough for an average family. Theupdates to the exterior for 2016 include a new,more bold front grille, reworked front bumperand on the top GT (seen here), LED headlights,fog lights and taillights. The GT also gets greatlooking 19-inch wheels, and the lower trimlevels are fitted with 17-inch wheels.InsideWhat sets the CX-5 apart from much of the

competition is a class-above dashand interior. Most of the productsin this class come fitted withhard, cheap-feeling dashboardsand utilitarian feeling switchesand dials. Mazda has investedheavily in the interior, producinga soft touch dash, smooth andsophisticated looking and feelingswitchgear, all making the cabinmore upscale.On the base model, buyers mustinvest in the $1,900 conveniencepackage to get essential items likeBluetooth, radio controls on thesteering wheel and the new HMIcentre control unit that interactswith the 7-inch centre screen.This brings the price to $26,795,placing it right in the middle ofthe compact market. The middle

$29,249 GS trim will be the volume seller,thanks to a bigger engine and a new heightadjustable passenger seat, two USB connectorsin the centre console, and blind spot moni-toring system. The top $34,895 GT trim (seenhere) adds automatic climate control, standardnavigation, 19-inch wheels and leather interior.Unfortunately, none of the CX-5 models comewith a power tailgate.DriveMazda has stuck with the 155hp 2.0L directinjection engine and a manual transmission in

the base model. This combo is only availablewith front wheel drive (FWD). If the base en-gine is paired with the all wheel drive (AWD)system, then the buyer needs to choose the6-speed automatic. The middle GS and top GTtrim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWDor AWD and all GT models come standardwith AWD.What sets this apart from the competition isthe handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakesinto its products. The CX-5 can be throwninto corners with true confidence but thesuspension is never jarring. The GS and GTalso come standard with a sport setting forthe transmission that is too aggressive fordaily use. The base setting works the best andwhen more power is needed, I tended to flickthe transmission to manual mode for a moreprecise experience.

VerdictIt might not be the least expensive vehicle inthis hot compact crossover segment but dueto a conventional 6-speed automatic and classabove amenities, it’s certainly in the runningas a segment leader.

The LowdownPower: 155hp 2.0L or 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinderFill-up: 9.8L/7.9L/100km (city/highway)Sticker price: $24,895-$36,995

Hanson said less than two years havepassed since the company first appliedfor rezoning and development permits.Meanwhile, another rental project hiscompany initiated in Vancouver in 2012continues to languish in bureaucracy.“NewWest has gone out of its way to

fast-track the process through city hall,”said Hanson.“NewWestminster has been a leader

in developing policies that encouragepermanent rental housing in our city,” saidmayor Jonathan Coté.The building will be comprised of

66 studio, 157 one-bedroom, 51 two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom units.

Not all of them will have a parking spot,which is often a sticking point during thedevelopment process.But the site’s proximity to two SkyTrain

stations works in its favour, said Hanson,who noted there’s often less demand forparking spaces in rental buildings. SouthStreet will also make 11 transit passesavailable to residents, as well as threeparking spots for co-op car share vehicles,and 359 bike stalls.The residential tower will sit atop 5,500

sq. ft. of commercial space, which willhelp diversify the Downtown’s retail andbusiness mix, said Germiquet.“Once they identify the needs of people,

new businesses will grow,” she said.

Rental tower to include commercial space

mArio BArtel/neWsleAderBrent Hanson and Jason Ratzlaff dig into the dirt to officially begin construction of a rental towerat Carnarvon and Sixth Street under the watchful eye of Sam Hanson, president of South StreetDevelopment Group, the tower’s builder. It is expected to be completed by the summer of 2017.

School-age kids in NewWestminster don’t get enoughsleep. In fact, according to theMiddle Years DevelopmentInstrument, a report from UBC,only 72% of grade four studentsin New Westminster reportedgoing to bed at a time thatallowed for enough sleep. And17% reported that they regularlygo to sleep far too late to get therestorative benefits of sleep.

What are the benefits ofyour child getting a goodnight’s sleep?

• Keeps your child awake, alertand better able to concentrateduring the day

• Helps keep your child fromgetting cranky, moody orirritable

• Allows your child to be morerelaxed during the day

• More sleep is correlated withmaintaining a healthy weight

• More sleep is correlated with ahigher IQ

• Sleep can improve symptomsof ADHD

How much sleep does mychild need?

Research suggests that school-age children need 9-12 hoursof sleep each night, dependingon age and the individual child.These are indications that yourchild is getting enough sleep:

• Falls asleep within 30 minutesof bedtime

• Doesn’t fall asleep during theday (in the car, for example)

• Easily wakes up in themorning

• Stays alert and attentive duringthe day (talk to the teacher:is your child sleepy or crankyduring the day?)

How can I help my childget enough sleep?

It’s all well and good to knowthat kids need sleep, but what ifyour child insists on staying uplate into the night? You follow abedtime routine, tuck them in,

but they’re still awake hours later.Now what? Here are some tips:

• Create a loving, soothingbedtime routine

• Ensure that the bedroomis dark; consider blackoutcurtains

• Ensure your child is gettinglots of physical activity duringthe day

• Limit chocolate, tea, cola andother sources of caffeine toearlier in the day

Why shouldn’t I let mychild watch TV until theyget sleepy?

It’s easy for us to fall into thehabit of watching TV to makeourselves sleepy, but that’s verydestructive to a good night’ssleep. Several studies have linkedpoor sleep in children and teensto their use of blue-light emittingdevices like TVs, laptops, phonesand game consoles beforebedtime. In order to get into goodsleep habits, it’s best to keep these

devices out of the bedroom.Turn off the electronics andlet your children play orread after dinner instead.

If you have ongoingconcerns about your child’ssleep, talk to your familydoctor or pediatrician.

T here’s no limit to the extent ofamenities being offered withnew developments these days.

Everything from golf courses to gar-dens, pools to gyms, billiards rooms toprivate libraries. Some even come withtheir own concierge. But these add-onsdon’t come free and owners need to besure they are buying into a develop-ment whose lifestyle suits their own,or they end up paying for features theydon’t use.Developers include amenities as a

way to stand out from their competi-tion and create a community whereconvenience is built in. With homesbecoming smaller, it is also a way tooffer buyers larger spaces to entertainand be entertained. And now, whereasamenities used to be built during aproject’s final phase, a trend is emerg-ing to add these earlier on.“It makes sense to build amenities

early,” says Geoff Duyker, the se-nior vice president of marketing forMOSAIC Homes, which is currentlydeveloping the residential portion ofthe master-planned Fremont RiverfrontDistrict in Port Coquitlam. “As home-builders, we recognize our homes areworth more, are more desirable andsell faster when an owner can experi-ence an amenity building the same daythey move in.”MOSAIC conducts extensive research

during its planning stages to determinewhat amenities customers are look-ing for. In the case of Fremont, thatincludes a 12,500-square-foot club-house with a pool, great room, gym,children’s playroom, garden plots andbike-share program all managed by aresident caretaker. In Duyker’s words,

LuxuryAmenities Luring NewHome Buyers

“It’s a complete community wherepeople can live, work and play.”Tsawwassen Springs includes a

32,000-square-foot clubhouse to servethe community and the owners of the490 homes on site. The clubhouse in-cludes a banquet room, restaurant andpub, gym, and an outdoor skating rinkduring the winter months. TsawwassenSprings also includes an 18-hole golfcourse which opened in August 2012.Sarah Toigo, director of sales and

marketing at Tsawwassen Springs, says,

a 12-foot waterfall. With a privatelibrary, a fireside lounge and conciergeservice, the developer’s aim is to createa luxurious hotel-style ambience. Thebuilding will also include a fitness cen-tre, yoga studio, social room, privatedining room, chef ’s kitchen and largegarden terrace.“If you purchase a one-bedroom

home, you can still entertain on agrand scale,” said Matthew Karmal,Tate Downtown’s sales manager. “Youwould just book the gourmet kitchenand dining area and get everythingready while your guests enjoy the pri-vate gardens.”Looking outside of Metro Vancouver,

The Cottages on Lake Osoyoos is a newresidential project by Van Maren Groupof Companies in the south Okanagan.Amenities include 1,800 feet of privatewaterfront, boat slips, 20 acres of greenspace with abundant walking trails anda clubhouse that has just opened in lateJuly. by Van Maren Group of Compa-nies in the south Okanagan.Managing partner Eric Van Maren

Van Maren says “We’re selling mostlyto retiring boomers from Calgary,Edmonton and Vancouver who needa place to connect with people. Theclubhouse provides that. And they wantpools for when their families come tovisit.”Van Maren estimates that the ame-

nities at The Cottages add $10,000 to$12,000 to the cost of a home there.“That’s not a huge investment if this isyour dream retirement home,” he said.“No doubt, there’s a cost associatedwith maintaining these facilities. But Ithink it’s a cost wealthy baby boomerswould gladly pay.”

“Amenities are more important for buy-ers coming other parts of Metro Van-couver who are used to having thesefacilities nearby so they don’t feel likethey’re giving up conveniences.”Despite the existence of plenty of

public amenities in locations such asdowntown Vancouver, developers thereare also enticing homebuyers with lav-ish offerings. At the Tate Downtown,currently in pre-construction, ownerswill enter their homes via the overhe-ight lobby or the carriage porch with
