Burnaby’s A-List

is back!Former MP Paul Forseth is in the running

By Wanda ChowNEWSLEADER

Team Burnaby will be deciding its slate lineup for this fall’s civic election on July 31.

Among those vying for a nomination is former Burnaby councillor Garth Evans.

“It’s pretty obvious the people of Burnaby are pretty unhappy with one-party democracy. The mayor has no opposition—he dictates to his council.”

Others listed as seeking a nomination for Burnaby council are former councillor Lee Rankin, former mayoralty candidate Ray Power, and former Burnaby-New Westminster MP Paul Forseth.

Forseth, a four-term MP who has represented the Reform Party, Canadian Alliance, and the Conservative party during his time in federal politics, is a New Westminster resident.

But, he said in an interview, “I used to represent over half of Burnaby in the House of Commons, it’s all part of my community, and I used to live in Burnaby.”

Forseth said he’s throwing his hat into the ring because he believes there needs to be greater accountability at city hall, par-ticularly as the ruling Burnaby Citizens’ Association (BCA) has

a monopoly, holding every civic seat.

“We’ve got what I would almost call kind of ‘groupthink’ at city council in that they’re all part of the ideological team supportive and entangled with the NDP. There’s no political opposition to [Mayor Derek] Corrigan’s little kingdom.”

Team president Graham Murchie said in an interview that the party has yet to have more potential candidates than there are civic seats available, but that it has several people mulling over their decisions to run for offi ce.

Those vying for school board nominations for Team include longtime Burnaby school district employee Franca Zumpano and longtime Burnaby resident Sharlene Silva. Team Burnaby plans to run a full slate for mayor, council and school board.

The party won three seats on council in 2005—Lee Rankin, Garth Evans and Gary Begin—and two seats on school board—Richard Lee and Helen Chang. But by 2008, Evans and Begin had split from the party, running as Independent Voices along with fellow candidate Barbara Spitz, Chang also ran as an indepen-dent, and Lee ran unsuccessfully for Richmond city council.

The BCA went on to win every seat available—for mayor, city council and school board.

Local children are getting a taste of nature and the wild without leaving town


I t’s a scene similar to those stored in people’s memories of summer

camp—or what they think it’s like: kids are practising archery, working on skits, learning to cook outside of a real kitchen.

On other days they’ll be canoeing, learning how to use compasses, putting up shelters and hiking.

Then a freight train rumbles by and all the kids shout what has become a familiar refrain: “Trains! I love trains!”

This is Camp Madawaska, a name that even sounds like what a summer camp should be called.

Only this isn’t a camp of cabins out in the middle of nowhere. In fact, there are no cabins at all. It’s a day camp in the middle of Burnaby, at Warner Loat Park, just up the road from Burnaby Lake.

“It’s an outdoor camp for city kids,” said camp coor-dinator Shelley Richardson. “It’s a baby step for going away for a week to overnight camp. It’s very similar to overnight camps except you get to go home [at the end of the day].”

It’s also been increasing in popularity. The last three

years have seen extensive wait lists for the program, aimed at kids aged six to 12, even after it was expanded a few years ago to take 50 chil-dren each week, Richardson said.

It appears to be fi lling a niche, meeting the desire of parents to get their kids out-doors more in the summer.

Out on the farmThe Queen’s Park Petting

Farm is abuzz with activity on a recent afternoon, as children help look after the farm animals’ summer home.

Armed with mini brooms and rakes, a group of kids sweep out the peacocks’ avi-ary, creating a cloud of dust as they move. Later, they help brush the coats of the sheep and goats, and feed the rabbits.

It’s the “What the Hay” program offered by New Westminster parks and rec-reation, where children get a hands-on experience work-ing with the animals and learning what farms need to operate. In the process, they learn how to care for the animals, and the responsibil-ity involved, said program supervisor Amanda Prade.

“They’re getting to do something special and differ-ent with the kinds of animals they don’t get to see every day.”

When handed grooming brushes, one group of chil-dren is told to pay attention to the reaction of the sheep and goats: “If they walk away that means they don’t want to be groomed right now.”

As program leader Meghan Hill explained, “Learning to treat animals well is something that’s good for life generally. It’s good for teaching them to treat people that way too.

“Animals can teach us so much.”

Nature appreciationBack in Burnaby, Camp

Madawaska has been operat-ing every summer since the early 1970s, back when the city’s parks and recreation department was comprised of just four staff in total, said Donna Savoie of Burnaby parks and rec.

“We’ve maintained the integrity of an outdoor adventure camp in the middle of suburbia,” Savoie said. “We’re very proud of that.”

Exposure to wildlife is pretty much limited to mink, ducks, geese and mosqui-

toes, and beaver dams. But there’s no shortage of the outdoors to learn about.

Richardson loves introduc-ing her young charges to the nature around them, from the facts that slugs are her-maphroditic and skunk cab-bage is a laxative for bears, to the names of the trees in the park.

“By putting a name to something, it gives it more meaning. It’s a hemlock tree instead of ‘that tree,’ ” Richardson said. “If it has a name hopefully they’ll care about it.”

Every day there’s even time for them to commune with nature during silent reading period, when library books are brought out so the kids can, for instance, sit under a tree while reading about that type of tree.

Parents like that their kids are outside all day at Camp Madawaska—except in the

worst of downpours—and they’re getting a chance to burn off some youthful energy.

They’re also given the opportunity to fi gure out solutions for themselves during activities. “Our philosophy is give them the tools and let them do it.”

Many children come back year after year. Perhaps not surprisingly, the camp has been going so long that some of the current participants are the children of past campers. The parents get to relive their childhoods during the family night that ends the camp each week, when the children get to show what they’ve learned, perform their skits and sing camp songs over hot chocolate.

And many former campers have grown up to volunteer or work at the camp, affec-tionately known as Camp Mad.

Eight-year-old Ava Ferenc, of Burnaby, was excited that she got to paddle a canoe for the fi rst time and said if she wasn’t at Camp Madawaska, she’d likely be hanging out at a friend’s house watching TV or playing video games.

“I wouldn’t be doing as much fun things.”

And Trinity Sullivan, 10, is in her third year at the camp and said the experience has opened her eyes to the natu-ral environment around her.

“I’m able to notice more things people wouldn’t notice, plants and animals I wouldn’t see if I didn’t start coming here.”

POLICE ROUND UP ALLEGED THEFT RINGPolice have arrested 10 people in connection with a theft ring that stole more than $40,000 worth of high-end electronics.The arrests were the result of a four-month investigation involving Burnaby RCMP’s prolifi c offenders suppression team (POST) and police forces from across the Lower Mainland.Burnaby RCMP says its prolifi c offender team and crime analysts identifi ed the crime trend last December. The thefts involved up to four people that would enter a store and head for display cases where they would steal electronics such as cellphones and video game consoles.After comparing notes with other police agencies in the region, 23 separate theft investigations were linked. For four months police collected enough evidence to identify and arrest 10 people involved in the theft ring. They now face a total of 103 charges.

One person is dead after a single-vehicle crash that tore a car apart on Canada Way Satur-day afternoon.

The accident happened at about 12:45 p.m. on July 23. Wit-nesses told Burnaby RCMP that the Acura Integra was travelling west at a high rate of speed.

The driver lost control and struck a lamppost in the 5400-block of Canada Way, near Ray-side Street, said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk.

The driver was the lone occu-pant of the vehicle and died at the scene.

Traffi c was blocked off for

several hours on Canada Way between Burris Street and Kensington Avenue while traffi c section offi cers, the Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Services (ICARS) team and the BC Coro-ners Service conducted their investigation.

The name of the driver is not being released pending notifi ca-tion of the next of kin.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Const. Hargreaves at Burnaby RCMP, 604-294-7922.

Crash claims life

Burnaby RCMP are seeking a mom who’s been missing for over a week.

Yanting (Lancy) Hu, 27, was last seen on July 15, between 8 and 9 p.m. by her husband, when he dropped her off at her apartment near Metrotown mall. She has not been seen since.

The couple is separated and Hu’s husband became worried when she missed several appointments they had together and he couldn’t contact her to return their two small children after the weekend.

Hu does not have a vehicle and uses public transportation. Hu is described as being Asian, 170 cm (5-foot-7), 54 kg (119 lbs), with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes. She wears glasses and speaks English and Mandarin.

The case is a high priority and is being actively investigated by the Burnaby RCMP serious crime unit.

Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk said police are seeking the public’s help not only if they’ve spotted Hu but also if they know her and her patterns, such as where she tends to spend time.

“There’s completely no history of this type of behaviour,” Gresiuk said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP immediately at 604-294-7922.

City engineer says they’re replaced as soon as they’re removed


A former Burnaby councillor claims the city’s bylaw ban-ning political signs on public property is not being applied to anti-HST signs.

Garth Evans said he knows the bylaw is enforced since his campaign signs during the recent federal election—when he ran for the Liberals in Burn-aby-New Westminster—were often removed if they happened to be on a city boulevard in front of a supporter’s home.

“I lost a lot of signs.”So it’s much to his chagrin

that he sees signs on city property encouraging people

to vote yes to extinguish the Harmonized Sales Tax in the referendum.

“There’s ‘HST yes’ signs all over the place, on boulevards, medians, everywhere,” Evans said.

He said a number of people have also told him they’ve called Burnaby city hall to complain about the signs but nothing hap-pens.

“I just wonder why it is that these signs are left on city property and all other political signs are taken down instantly?”

Burnaby’s director of engineering Lambert Chu confi rmed that under the city’s bylaws, no temporary political election signs can be erected on public property.

“I would count HST signs as

political signs,” he said. “We have removed many of

them and quite often the day after they resurface again.”

City staff have contacted the HST campaign offi ces to inform them of the city bylaw, he said,

stressing that education is key to dealing with the issue.

Chu said the city’s litter-removal crews have been tasked with taking down such signs and responding to com-plaints about them from residents.

“We don’t ask every city crew [to remove

them] because otherwise we just won’t get anything done.”

All the campaign signs that are picked up end up in the city’s garbage, he said. “Unfor-tunately, we cannot recycle them.”

Sign ban not being applied to anti-HST signs: Evans

If approved by council, the mayor and city councillors will receive a 3.07 per cent raise this year, according to a city staff report.

A council indemnity advisory committee, comprised of three representatives from the community, was formed in 2007 to develop a formula to determine council salaries.

The increase is based on the average of three indicators for 2010: the Consumer Price Index for Vancouver (2.48 per cent), the average weekly wage increase in B.C. (2.72 per cent) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, local 23, increase (4 per cent).

That would bring Mayor Derek Corrigan’s salary to $117,532, of which

one-third or $39,177 is considered an expense allowance. Each councillor would receive $45,368, of which $15,123 is an expense allowance.

In 2010, Corrigan earned $114,031 in 2010, up from $97,414 in 2009. City councillors earned $44,016, a jump from $42,298 a year earlier.

Halfway through summer, most of us aren’t thinking too much about the fall and this November’s municipal election.

But if you’re thinking about running as a candidate, the weeks are running out for you to begin planning your campaign.

Judging by recent elections, most munici-palities are in dire need of more names on the ballot to spark interest among voters.

If you care about where you live and want to make a difference in even one aspect of your community, consider putting your name forward as a candidate for council, school board or mayor.

Qualifi cations are far from onerous. If you’re 18 or older, a Canadian citizen and have lived in B.C. you’re pretty much OK to run.

You’ll need to keep track of election-related expenses and contributions and have at least two people willing to nominate you.

There are a few other rules to know if you do get serious about running.

It’s also a good idea to understand that life can seem crazy once everyone’s on the campaign trail.

Traditionally, municipal election season kicks into full gear after Labour Day.

The thinking is that most of us can’t be bothered to ponder the issues affecting our communities when the weather’s warm and we’re busy planning upcoming holidays or invites to backyard barbecues.

We’re a little more willing to do our civic duty and tune into local issues once the kids are back in school and summer vacation is behind us.

Make no mistake though, savvy politicians know they’ll have to hit the ground running once we return to the routines that signal September’s arrival.

If you’ve ever thought about participating in politics, now is the time to make sure you’re ready when the silly season arrives.

—Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse.

So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come call-ing for more.

Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.)

B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as have-not Ontario.

The provincial defi cit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services con-tinued its relentless rise with another billion-dol-lar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast.

Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reasonable and customers aren’t generally pre-pared to start cutting their own hair.

Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out some spin about how tight-fi sted spending control

brought the defi cit down from the 10-fi gure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it.

It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending. Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market.

Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term

federal-provincial strategy that the NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province.

The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job open-ings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby

boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with preci-sion.

Job growth does depend, however, on a com-petitive tax environment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere.

The public accounts also confi rm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That fi nance ministry estimate was only for the fi rst year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term.

Currently it looks as if going back to the old pro-vincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth.

Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideology. The defi cit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fi shing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

Re: SBNH to get new digs (NewsLeader, July 20)

As a former board member, I offer my heartiest congratula-tions to South Burnaby Neighbourhood House on the news that the 15-year-old social service agency will be moving into a new, 12,000-square-foot facility, to be shared with other non-profi t partners, near Metro-town SkyTrain station.

Burnaby’s fi rst-ever neighbourhood house has long outgrown its location on Imperial, not to mention its tiny, humble beginnings on Jubiliee Avenue. The new building and central location will make SBNH and its sister non-profi ts more effi cient, convenient, accessible, and visible for all who need their vital services.

With approximately 450 volunteers assist-ing full-time and part-time staff in delivering programs, such as school-age childcare (at seven schools), Homework Haven, Friendship Club, Kids Out of the Rain, summer day camps, student training, youth leadership and others, SBNH is a Burnaby success story with a simple storyline: neighbours helping neighbours.

Finally, kudos to

the mayor and city council for working with SBNH’s dedicated board and tireless executive director, Antonia Beck, to fi nd a permanent home, which should be ready to open its doors by spring 2013 and lend an even bigger help-ing hand to Burnaby residents.

Choice is oursClimate change is

one of the key chal-lenges of our time, but it seems to have dropped off people’s radar recently. Are people simply over-whelmed by the enor-mity of the issue, or have the big emitters of greenhouse gases managed to convince people that climate change isn’t happen-ing? Maybe it’s a bit of both, and that’s truly unfortunate.

Denying climate change will not make it go away. It will only make things worse in the long run. We need to recognize that climate change is occurring and turn quickly to energy sources that don’t emit the greenhouse gases responsible. The signs that climate change is occurring are there for all to see.

The coming century

is going to be a crucial one for humankind, and if we hope to survive as a species we must make the change to energy sources that are clean, renewable and sustainable.

We can rise to the challenge of climate change and show ourselves to be the infi nitely adaptable, clever species we’ve proven to be through-out history and pre-history. Or we can become the dodo birds of the 21st century. The choice is ours, and I know which choice I will make.

How about you?Pamela Gardner

Liberals finallycome clean

Finally. The BC Liberals have been caught in their lies about the HST. Until recently they had been asserting repeat-edly that the tax is revenue neutral. But the Public Accounts annual report released July 18 confi rms what its opponents have been saying all along. The HST is bringing in about $600 million more a year than the PST did. To add insult to injury, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon is admitting that he knew all along that

the HST would take more money out of the consumers’ pockets. His new double-speak word for “tax grab’” is “robust”.

As recently as a few weeks ago BC Liberals were scaring voters into believing that a rejection of the HST would “blow a $3 billion hole” in the budget. Now Minister Falcon is saying that budget-wise a return to the PST is manage-able.

Is it coincidence that these admissions come just as the referendum on the HST draws to a close and most voters have already cast their ballots? I think not.

The province has endorsed the regional waste plan, which includes the incineration of garbage.

The region adopted the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWRMP) a year ago this week. It also calls for an aggressive push for increased recycling and composting of household organics.

Metro board chair Lois Jack-son said Monday the provincial approval was great news.

“This solid waste manage-ment plan will help us preserve non-renewable resources, save

energy, generate revenue, protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gases,” Jackson said.

The plan was the result of an exhaustive public consultation and involves several methods of waste disposal as the region attempts to cut down the amount of garbage headed for the landfi ll.

The targets are an 80 per cent diversion in the amount of waste heading for landfi lls, which are quickly hitting their maximum allowable intake.

At the time the plan was passed by the regional board last year, Jackson said the plan was a “collaboration of many, many years work. Not only people from around this table, but also from the past, are going to be interested in how we deal with this today.”

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said at the time there’s a huge

host of emerging technologies available that out-of-region communities might want to host.

She also noted the Fraser Valley is vehemently opposed to such a facility.

“We have to respect their views as well,” Watts said, adding she would approve of an out-of-region facility.

“I think it’s the most bal-anced approach.”

Because of strong public reaction to decrease the amount of garbage going to landfi lls, Metro staff are recom-mending an 80 per cent diver-sion by 2020.

Previously, the goal had been a 70 per cent diversion by 2015.

Part of the plan is to compost all residential organics by 2012 and by 2015, banning all such food and kitchen waste from landfi lls.

Province approves regional waste plan

B.C. has approved a regional waste management plan that includes the use of garbage incinerators. The region’s plan is to divert 80 per cent of garbage from landfi lls by 2020.

NEWSLEADER FILE

Federal NDP leader Jack Layton announced Monday he is taking an indefi nite medical leave from the leadership of the party, after being diagnosed with a second type of cancer.

Appearing thin and hoarse-voiced at a news conference in Ottawa Monday, Layton said treat-ment has continued to be success-ful for prostate cancer, which was diagnosed in 2010.

He continued treatment until this year’s election that saw him elevated to leader of the Offi cial Opposition. Layton did not disclose

what other kind of cancer has been detected since, but vowed to recover and return to lead the party when the House of Commons resumes sitting in September.

Layton recommended Hull-Aylmer MP Nycole Turmel, one of a surge of new Quebec MPs that lifted the NDP to 103 seats.

Leader since 2003, Layton was the focus of the NDP campaign that saw a collapse of Liberal and Bloc Quebecois support.

Seeking tranquility

Gluten-free chocolate cupcakes

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F and put your baking cups in your muffi n tin.Step 2: Put all the DRY STUFF in a bowl together and whisk together well or better yet, sift it all through your strainer/sifter. The idea is just to mix the ingredients well and get out all the lumpy bits.Step 3: Mix together all the WET STUFF in another bowl and whisk/mix together well.Step 4: Make a little well (think volcano) in the bowl of DRY STUFF and pour the WET STUFF into it. Gently push all the DRY STUFF on the sides down into the WET STUFF and start to incorporateStep 5: With your electric hand mixer begin to mix ingredients together well. Continuously scrape the sides of the bowl with your spatula. Since this recipe is gluten-free the batter might behave a little different than your conventional Betty Crocker cake mix. So if it starts to get all sticky—making the mixer work too hard for little gain—then lift the mixer slight-ly above the mixture and let the excess come off and then try again. I fi nd using the highest speed works best, while moving it around in fi gure 8’s. Mix until it is super smooth and not too sticky (about 4 min).Step 6: Gently scoop batter with a tablespoon or ice-cream scoop into the prepared muffi n tin. Just fi ll the cups about 1/2 full as they will rise a lot. Once they are all fi lled, bang the bottom of the muffi n tin on the counter a few good times, to make the mixture settle and fl atten down in the cups. I don’t think Martha Stewart would approve of this method but it’s a heck of a lot easier than trying to smooth them out by hand.Step 7: Put cupcakes in the oven and set timer for 25min.Step 8: After 25min, remove them from the oven and stick a toothpick, knife or another thin sharp object into the middle cake. If you pull it out and it doesn’t have any “gunk” stuck to it, the cupcakes are done.

The border between New Westminster and Burnaby, where 12th Street becomes Kingsway seems an unlikely place to seek tranquility; thousands of cars and trucks rumble by every day, frustrated drivers fl ash one-fi nger salutes, a red-light camera pips those in too much of a hurry.But that’s where Gina Nelson has landed in her ongoing journey to heal her body, mind and soul after her nomadic career as a professional snowboarder, chasing powder and plunges around the globe. When the snow melted, she returned to the slopes on her mountain bike.Nelson says she had a “hardcore adrenaline addiction.” But as the tally of injuries and broken bones piled up, she decided “maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.”Once her fractures healed, Nelson realized her injuries went beyond just physical; she embarked on a path to achieve overall wellness, nourishing her body with natural, healthy foods and her soul with meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy.In April, that path led her to an empty storefront at the corner of 12th Street and 10th Avenue. After two months of renovation and painting, she opened Shine, a place, says Nelson, to help people “fi nd calm in the storm of life.”She does that by offering the various tools they might need to “fi nd their centre,” like drop-in yoga sessions, massage therapy, meditation workshops, a lounge of welcoming old chairs in which to sit sipping specially-blended teas or snack on vegan cupcakes, a perfume bar to concoct soothing aromas and a selection of organic skin care products comprised of oils pressed from jojoba plants or avocado.“Wellness is a journey,” says Nelson. “You have to dedicate yourself and believe in yourself that you can do it.”For more information about Shine, including a schedule of yoga sessions and special workshops go to www.spacetoshine.com.

METROTOWN COLLISION REPAIRSMETROTOWN COLLISION REPAIRS

and we’re there when you need us with over 63 years of award winning collision repairs

ALL MAKES & MODELS• Courtesy cars• Lifetime guarantee


By Grant GrangerNEWSLEADER

A few years ago Jeff Malmgren was doing some consulting work on the River District area of Vancouver just west of Bound-ary Road where it’s expected about 15,000 people will eventu-ally live. He began to wonder “how are these people going to get around?”

He also noticed while doing some work for the City of New Westminster on the civic centre in the midst of a burgeoning Downtown how people were beginning to reconnect with the river.

So why not, he thought, go back in time and use the river to get around?

The result is the Fraser RiverBus Society, and he pre-sented his concept to the Metro Vancouver regional planning com-mittee last Friday.

“There’s no good reason why it shouldn’t work from a transportation and social point of view,” said Malmgren. “It’s only been the last 80 to 90 years that we’ve turned our backs on the river and made it a back alley.

“In Australia, Asia and Europe it’s always been in place and it’s growing. In North America it’s under-utilized ... It’s not only a good idea, but it’s a good idea now.”

Malmgren is propos-ing four vessels with a projected capacity of 10,000 to 15,000 pas-sengers per day could run up and down the river between Langley and Richmond, provid-ing an effi cient transit alternative for com-muters.

All the best transit links are for getting to downtown Vancouver, but there is a great deal of crosstown com-muting that isn’t being served, he said.

“There are more people in Richmond who go to work in Burnaby or New Westminster than to

downtown Vancouver, signifi cantly more, and that’s not an anomaly.”

Malmgren estimates there are 55,000 who commute between the riverfront communi-ties.

“It takes a long trip on transit to get there and it goes through downtown which puts unnecessary pressure on the transit that is going downtown,” said Malmgren.

Since cross-town commuting by transit is neither convenient nor comfortable it’s likely commuters will continue to use their own vehicles unless something like a Riv-erBus is implemented, he added. People like the speed and privacy of the car, so the Riv-erBus would have to offer comforts such as wireless Internet, good

seating, bike storage and hop on/hop off service, along with a pleasant ride.

Malmgren said the vessel that seems most appropriate for a RiverBus is a hydrofoil catamaran such as those used in New York on the East River as well as Chicago and Washington, D.C.

His group estimates capital costs, includ-ing vessels, land infrastructure and start up, would be between $15.65 million and $20.4 million, far less than the West Coast Express initial capital costs, which it says were $118 million. The operating cost is estimated at $1,000 an hour per vessel com-pared to the SeaBus, which is $675 an hour.

The capital cost for waterborne transpor-tation is always going to be signifi cantly cheaper and so will the environmental costs, Malmgren said.

“This is a really great opportunity and it is an option with very little capital cost.”

The New Westmin-ster Quay and the pier at the foot of Kerr Street in Vancouver would be suitable for docking, said Malmgren. A stop at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby would have lots of traffi c because of all the industrial park offi ces and ware-houses in the area. Other landings could be in Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam and the River Rock Casino and Canada Line in Richmond.

According to Malmgren, at last Friday’s meeting the Metro Vancouver directors were curi-ous and asked a lot of questions. The committee—which includes Burnaby Mayor Derek Cor-rigan, the commit-tee’s chair, and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright—asked the regional district’s staff to investigate the proposal.

“I thought there was some merit in it,” said Wright, who admitted his reaction was one of the more positive ones from directors at the meeting.

It makes some sense for New Westminster and Richmond, he said, because of the proximity of SkyTrain stations.

Wright said the proposal “is a bit too much” and suggested Malmgren work on a scaled back option. The society’s numbers need to be vetted and some research done to see just what might be viable, he added.

“You have to have the amounts of people, otherwise you don’t make money because there’s just not enough usage yet,” said Wright.

When he visits Syd-ney, Australia, where he lived for two years, Wright takes water buses all the time.

But the population base around the water there is much higher than on the Fraser River, he said.
