Year-round schooling not on agenda: Hayes Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The idea of bringing year-round schooling to Burnaby school district is not even a topic of discussion among trustees, said school board chair Larry Hayes. The subject has been in the headlines since the provincial government introduced Bill 36, which was widely interpreted as paving the way for districts to implement such a schedule. “We, like any district, has had the ability to go to a balanced calendar

Realistically, there’s been very little if any requests from schools or parents to go this route.” twitter.com/WandaChow

The second and ¿nal phase of a road improvement project on Edmonds Street took a step closer recently with approval of $2.7 million in funding by Burnaby council. The ¿rst phase of the project, on Edmonds from Kingsway to Canada Way, included the replacement of water and sewer lines which was completed in late 2011. The second phase will include ¿nal drainage and road improvements to the street which is currently such a rough ride it has been the subject of complaints to city councillors. According to city hall, the project includes improving the road surface of Humphries Avenue to Elwell Street and a section of Vista Crescent. Sidewalks on Humphries will be improved and new bus shelters will be installed on Edmonds in front of the new Edmonds Pool and Community Centre. The intersection of Edmonds and Humphries will see a new traf¿c signal and a new pedestrian crossing signal will be added at Edmonds and Linden Street. All the work will be completed by year end.

Suspect sought in hit-and-run
Helping patients breathe easier Proven success allows program to continue in Burnaby, New Westminster Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
A year ago, John Brodt was in and out of Royal Columbian Hospital every four to six weeks, whenever he struggled to breathe due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). He could only walk 40 feet before becoming exhausted, and requiring a re¿ll for his oxygen tank. It got so Brodt was reluctant to leave his New Westminster home. But that’s all in the past, thanks to the BreatheWell at Home Program, a Fraser Health Authority pilot project in Burnaby and New Westminster. The program started last September as a way to address the high number of hospital admissions for COPD at Royal Columbian and Burnaby hospitals, said Dr. Grace Park, medical director for Fraser Health’s home health program. COPD—the highest risk factor is smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke—has the highest rate of hospital admissions of all the chronic diseases, more than even heart disease and diabetes, Park said. It’s also the fourth leading cause of death in Canada. When COPD patients ¿nd their condition exacerbated, by a viral infection for instance, they have problems breathing and become very fatigued. Once admitted to hospital for treatment, their average stay is 10 days, more if the patient is elderly. Park noted that 38 per cent are admitted several times a year. In addition to affecting patients’ quality of life, such cases are also very costly to the provincial health system. The idea behind BreatheWell is

to educate COPD patients on how to better manage their disease, from learning what could trigger a Àare-up to learning how to properly use medications. Patients are given a set of tools to use, including doctor’s prescriptions written out in advance, allowing them to look after their symptoms early on, said Park. It’s symptoms left untreated for too long that often land patients in the hospital. And it’s all done under the supervision of respiratory therapists and nurses. Patients are all given monitoring equipment that is used daily to check vital signs such as oxygen levels, blood pressure and heart rate. Using a touch-screen device, they answer questions about how they’re feeling that day. All that information is sent remotely to a nurse who monitors it, calling patients if they notice anything unusual. “It really does help patients to become more aware of their condition,” Park said.
That awareness has reaped dividends. Since the start of the program, the number of COPD-related hospitalizations has been reduced by 42 per cent, ER use by such patients has gone down 32 per cent, and of those admitted, the length of their stays has been cut by 38 per cent. With hospital staff aware of patients’ participation in the program, they’re more comfortable releasing patients a bit early knowing a respiratory therapist will be following up with them within 48 hours, Park said. The telling statistics showing the program’s success have given it the go-ahead to continue in Burnaby and New Westminster, where it will continue to be tweaked to develop ef¿ciencies, she said. Meanwhile, Fraser Health has applied for health ministry funding to expand BreatheWell to two other communities. It should know of a decision by June.

As for John Brodt, 69, his respiratory therapist, Joanne Terry, is amazed at how far he’s come. Noting that a stay in an acute care hospital bed costs $1,000 a day, and Brodt’s previous stays lasted seven to 10 days each, Terry told him he’d already saved the health system $100,000 by staying out of hospital the past year. But perhaps more importantly, his quality of life has seen a huge improvement. Brodt is no longer as anxious now that he knows he’ll likely have more shortness of breath on cloudy and humid days when air pollution is worse. He’s learned to pace himself when out walking. And he knows advice and help is just a phone call away. Just the other day a nurse phoned to check in when she noticed Brodt’s pulse was higher than normal through the remote monitoring device, noted his wife, Sonia. “Our quality of life has turned completely around,” said Sonia. “We can basically plan if we want to do something.” With Terry’s help, Brodt has gained con¿dence every time he’s reached an increasingly bigger goal. In one year he’s gone from barely being able to walk down the hallway in his house, to driving and walking for a coffee at the Uptown Tim Horton’s. They even managed a trip to visit their daughter in Grande Prairie, Alberta, albeit with his oxygen compressor and a couple extra oxygen tanks taking up the trunk of their car. Brodt can’t say enough about the program. “When I started the BreatheWell program, it was like somebody turned on the light.” twitter.com/wandachow
Burnaby RCMP are seeking the suspect vehicle in a hit-andrun Monday night that put a cyclist in hospital in serious condition. Just after 11 p.m. on May 7, a small SUV was seen heading east on Lougheed Highway near Sperling Avenue, say Burnaby RCMP. A witness saw the SUV make a sudden movement, presumably to avoid a collision, then they saw a person being thrown through the air. The SUV stopped at Àrst, then sped away from the scene. The cyclist, who was not identiÀed until the next morning and whose name is not being released, was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital and recovering from “signiÀcant injuries to his head.” He was not wearing a helmet and was wearing dark clothes at the time of the crash. The suspect vehicle is described as a dark-coloured 2002 to 2006 Honda CRV with damage to its front end. The vehicle should be missing a front hood visor. Anyone who has information on the identity of the suspect vehicle or its driver, is asked to call 604-294-7922.

Seton Villa seeks to expand Rezoning application submitted July 2011, still not resolved Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
While seniors residence Seton Villa wants to expand at its North Burnaby site, it’s been waiting almost a year for an answer to its rezoning application, its executive director, Fran McDougall, told council Monday. Operated by Action Line Housing Society, Seton Villa, a 19-storey tower built in 1974 at 3755 McGill St., provides supportive housing for lowincome seniors, along with 28 units of assisted living in partnership with the Fraser Health Authority. It currently has 217 suites housing 230 residents who receive three meals a day, weekly housekeeping, laundry, activities and 24-hour emergency care. The society proposes to demolish its old gymnasium structure and build 45 supportive housing suites as well as expanded dining, kitchen, laundry and amenity spaces to serve all residents. It would Our Vision: Better health. Best in health care.
include underground parking and for security reasons, the main entrance for the new units would be the same as for the current building. Its waiting list is currently 160 names long, said McDougall. Of those, 52 per cent are Burnaby residents and 40 per cent people with family in Burnaby. “With an average of 35 exits a year, it will take several years to accommodate those who are often at risk living in their homes.” She said as a result, Seton Villa has stopped accepting new applications which will only increase waitlists at other facilities, leaving low-income seniors with “very limited housing choices.” As a supported living facility, Seton Villa can only accommodate seniors who are still independent, mobile and require minimal care, she said. Currently, it can’t accommodate people in wheelchairs. “It is most unfortunate when a senior has to leave their Seton Villa family only because of a deterioration of their mobility.” The society hopes to change that through its expansion
proposal. The proposed new suites, common areas and dining room would all be wheelchair accessible. McDougall noted that the society submitted its initial rezoning application with preliminary drawings back in July 2011 but has yet to receive the go-ahead. “We are ready to proceed.” Mayor Derek Corrigan responded that he’s always been impressed at the level of care provided at Seton Villa and that it’s a “great opportunity” to increase the number of seniors living there. “We will be talking with our planning department, making sure it gets priority and moves ahead quickly.” twitter.com/WandaChow

A rezoning proposal for southeast Burnaby could yield a community bene¿t valued at $6.8 million, according to a city staff report. While the project has yet to receive rezoning approval, council approved a staff recommendation Monday to accept the expected bene¿t as cash instead of the developer building an amenity. The proposal by Amacon Land Corporation is for a condominium complex to be built on a 3.2-acre site, currently home to three industrial buildings, at 7008, 7018 and 7070 14th Ave., located off Grif¿ths Drive between Stride Avenue elementary and Byrne Creek secondary. The project would use the city’s “s” category zoning with its density bonus provisions to allow more units in exchange for the
community bene¿t. The Edmonds Town Centre Plan designates the site for low-rise multi-family residential redevelopment and for possible density bonuses due to its proximity to amenities such as the nearby schools, Edmonds SkyTrain station, and the adjacent urban trail and pedestrian-cycle bridge. The proposal is to comprise two four-storey apartment buildings with underground parking fronting onto 14th Avenue with a total gross Àoor area of 207,377 square feet. That includes the density bonus of 55,300 square feet. The value of the community bene¿t has increased since the rezoning proposal ¿rst came to council back in November. At that time, the value was estimated at $90 to $95 per square foot of extra buildable area, or a community bene¿t of $4.9
million to $5.2 million. Less than ¿ve months later, the most recent staff report dated April 18 valued the amenity bonus at $123 per square foot or an estimated $6.8 million. Of that, 20 per cent or $1.36 million, will go to the city-wide fund for affordable or specialneeds housing, potentially putting that account total at about $10.2 million if the project receives rezoning approval. The remainder would go into the Edmonds Town Centre amenity fund where a total of $8.9 million would then be available for future amenities, the report said. Options for use of the money include childcare, affordable or accessible housing units and park improvements such as a possible pedestrian crossing of Byrne Creek at 17th Avenue and 18th Street, and enhancements to Taylor and Powerhouse parks.

available. Hayes said it’s possible the city’s changing demographics in the past 10 years could have affected demand for such a program. “We thought the least we could do is go through a public process and gauge interest without committing to anything,” he said. He noted that implementing IB is more complex than other programs because the district would have to deal with an outside international organization. IB was founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1968. “We’ve been told it could take up to two years [to implement] even if we said we wanted it.” Info: www.ibo.org.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Getting unmasked The federal government has supported a private member’s bill that would make it a crime to wear a disguise while taking part in a riot. Bill C-309 – the Concealment of Identity Act – was tabled by Alberta Conservative MP Blake Richards and endorsed by the government on Sunday. It would amend two sections of the Criminal Code covering penalties for taking part in a riot or violent protest, criminalizing the use of masks. You could get up to ¿ve years in prison for wearing one of Stephen Harper while torching cars or looting stores. The bill is meant to give police another tool to break up uncivil gatherings, as seen recently with students unhappy in Quebec over rising tuition fees, and disgruntled fans of the Vancouver Canucks after they lost Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup ¿nal. But what constitutes a mask? One like Cory Schneider wears, or those worn by doctors? Scarves and hoodies? Groucho Marx glasses? What about the gas masks police of¿cers wear? If someone covers their face with grease paint, does that count as concealing one’s identity? Regardless, the proposal does not threaten the right to peaceful protest, as some might suggest. Rather it ensures it. There is no need to conceal one’s identity during a peaceful demonstration. No need to bring a change of clothes either, although we’ve seen images of protesters doing so after a bunch of windows were just smashed. If this bill helps bring people involved in such criminal activity to justice, or prevents it, then so be it. Save the masks for Halloween. —Black Press

A long overdue apology Seventy years is a long time, but it’s not too long to forget. In 1942, Japanese-Canadians who lived on the B.C. coast were forcibly relocated to internment camps in the Interior and other parts of Canada, by order of the federal government. Their crime – some were suspected of being possible security leaks to the Japanese government, Canada had gone to war with Japan shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbour on Dec. 7, 1941, which brought the Americans into the Second World War. Last December, I wrote a column that noted that many Japanese Canadians who had lived in Surrey and Delta up to that time seemed to be forgotten by local governments. While some Fraser Valley municipalities (notably Mission) have honoured former residents of Japanese background with street names, for example, I noted that there is little in either Surrey or Delta to remind today’s residents that there was once a thriving Japanese-Canadian community there. That December column, and one by another writer on the effect of Pearl Harbour on the Lower
Frank Bucholtz Mainland Japanese-Canadian community, prompted North Delta resident Tosh Suzuki to do a little investigating. He found that there had never been a formal apology, or even a statement, in the B.C. Legislature about the harsh treatment given to the more than 20,000 law-abiding citizens of Japanese origin, many of whom were born in Canada. Some served with the Canadian forces in the First World War. He and his wife, Amy, were both interned as children. At the age of seven, he and his family were taken from their Pitt Meadows farm and sent to a camp in Manitoba, where they picked sugar beets until long after the war. His father’s 16-acre farm was sold off by the government for a fraction of its true value. His wife’s family was interned at

Lemon Creek in the Kootenays, and she eventually moved to the New Denver internment camp that today is a fascinating museum, and the lone physical reminder of the internment camps. He approached the B.C. government through Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto, the North Vancouver MLA who is the the ¿rst B.C. cabinet minister of Japanese heritage. Her father was also interned in the Second World War. He also asked his MLA, Guy Gentner of the NDP, to get involved, and legislators of all political stripes co-operated to bring forth the apology on Monday. As Suzuki said, “Most of these causes take time. It happened so quickly that I was overwhelmed.” It is curious that B.C. never issued a formal apology back in the late 1980s, when the federal government did so, and also offered compensation to all those who were interned. As Yamamoto noted in the House Monday, the provincial government was complicit in the removal of the JapaneseCanadians. The forced relocation

was driven by anti-Oriental politicians at all levels of government, in particular the B.C. legislature and Vancouver city council. Suzuki’s late brother-in-law once owned land on 88 Avenue just east of Scott Road, which is now a major shopping centre. Other Japanese-Canadians operated small fruit farms in the Strawberry Hill area, and others ¿shed from Annieville on the Fraser River. While an apology 70 years later cannot make up for the hardships that the internees endured, it is a welcome and overdue step. The Suzukis deserve thanks for their willingness to take on this cause, and obtain formal recognition of the wrong done so long ago. Here’s hoping that local governments will now do their best to honour the hard work of many Japanese-Canadian residents who lived here until they were forcibly removed. Their hard work helped to build this community. Frank Bucholtz is the editor of the Langley Times.

Who’s protecting teachers’ rights to volunteer? What are the school trustees doing to protect the rights of those teachers who choose to volunteer? Teachers should have the right to follow their conscience. The Burnaby Teachers Association and the British Columbia Teachers Association should not be allowed to “bully” or “coerce” teachers who choose to volunteer to support children with threats of exclusion or penalty. If volunteering is a choice, then it should be free from intervention by the BTA/BCTF or governments. The BTA/BCTF doesn’t see it this way. The BTA/BCTF’s stance on volunteering is very divisive. The BTA/BCTF must be feeling very vulnerable with their stance. If you take into consideration the number of teachers who didn’t take the opportunity to vote, only half of all teachers thought that a province-wide boycott of extracurricular activities was a good idea. These teachers’ unions have shown their true colours. To keep members in line the BTA/ BCTF has found it necessary to intimidate their own members. One wonders what the union might have done if the district administration or the provincial government had threatened teachers in the same way. Teachers know that the stance of the BTA/BCTF is divisive. The boycott hurts children, parents, and teachers. Children are upset because things they have been looking forward to, possibly for many years, are being

Teachers’ reputations are brought into question by a stance that has been forced by the union. Staff room conversations are tense because of the divided stance on whether to volunteer or not. School trustees, instead of playing a leadership role, have decided to hide. None have come forward to protect the rights of teachers who choose to volunteer. Where are all those promises to support children, to stop bullying and to improve education? Rennie Maierle, Burnaby

Byrne Creek success I want to congratulate Byrne Creek Secondary School on receiving the prestigious ASCD Whole Child Award, given to one school annually that goes beyond the focus on academic achievement, and educates the whole child. Byrne Creek is extremely deserving of this honour. I have visited Byrne Creek many times, and each time have come away inspired by the work the teachers, administration, school board and students are doing. With the unique challenges Byrne Creek faces and huge range of learning needs, it has found unique learning solutions to serve the new immigrant and refugee families that

Bosa launches charitable foundation Burnaby-based developer Bosa Properties has launched its own foundation to direct funding to the communities where its projects are built. Bosa Properties Foundation will provide funding equal to $1,000 per home constructed back to the
immediate community, focusing on housing support for low-income families and children’s support organizations. The foundation was announced at the company’s groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for the Lido, a tower at southeast False Creek in Vancouver, which will contribute $183,000 in recognition for the 183 units being built there. “So, we’ve made a commitment to contribute a portion of the pro¿ts from each project we build back to the community that we build in, so the footprint that our buildings make is not only of architectural signi¿cance, but also of charitable signi¿cance,” says a description of the foundation on the company’s website. The unique needs of each community will be considered when awarding grants. “What’s more, our homeowners from each of our buildings will provide direction on how these funds are to be distributed from their project.” For more information on grant opportunities, visit foundation@ bosaproperties.com.

activities and class trips. “We’ve been hearing more and more about in some cases months and years that have been put together in preparation for a trip somewhere, for students to enjoy and to learn, and those have been lost,” Abbott said. The BCTF voted to impose the ban on activities April 20, in the wake of a threeday strike in March that ended with the government legislating a six-month cooling off period, under which
mediated talks are supposed to continue. The BCPSEA application argues the BCTF has banned an overly broad range of duties that happen outside instructional hours – including ones that are required and not just voluntary – effectively taking away the individual choice of teachers. “The concerted withdrawal of all of these teacher duties has negatively curtailed the services
available to students and parents, both in relation to ongoing educational support and the continuation of extracurricular activities,” it says. Union members are under pressure to comply or risk BCTF disciplinary action, including ¿nes. Meanwhile, the BCTF is before the LRB asking that it remove the government-appointed mediator Dr. Charles Jago from the dispute, on grounds he is biased.

Burnaby Lake chases title Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s women’s premier league squad downed United Rugby Club 22-12 last Saturday to advance to the league ¿nal this weekend. They will play the Velox Valkyries from Victoria at Klahanie Park in West Vancouver on Saturday at 11 a.m. Velox head into the showdown with a perfect 9-0 record on the season while Burnaby, the defending champions, is 8-1. Burnaby Lake’s Julia Sugawara ¿nished second in overall scoring in the league. “They are an undefeated team that has lost to us in provincial ¿nals and it will be hard to match Velox’s motivation,” said Burnaby Lake head coach Walter Brandl in a press release. “Both teams run the ball well and that part of the game may even have to wait until the introductions are complete up front. The hardest working people on Saturday may be the trainers for both teams. “Julia and Laura (Harmes) comprise the Yin-andYang of our team. Julia is so calm under pressure that it is sometimes infuriating. Laura has lifted her game and turned back the hands of time 10 years. Her speed is as good as it ever was and her level of aggression has always been top notch.” Although they were the lowest seed heading into the playoffs, Burnaby Lake defeated the Meralomas 39-27 last Saturday to capture the second division

’Rocks rock Lakers The Burnaby Jr. Lakers got off to a great start when they faced the league-leading Victoria Shamrocks, but it was downhill from there at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday. Kris Liset scored his Àrst of two goals followed by Dale Mushinski to give the Lakers a 2-0 lead 7:14 into the game. But the Shamrocks then scored four consecutive goals in the Àrst period and rolled from en route to an 11-6 victory.
Danny Spagnuolo, Trenton Matsuzaki and Jaeden Gastaldo also scored for Burnaby. Gastaldo also contributed two assists. The Jr. Lakers (0-2) will take on the Nanaimo Timbermen (0-4) at Copeland this Sunday (5 p.m.). It will also be broadcast on the INet Sports Network (inetsports.ca).

Every May women around the world are celebrated for their sacri¿ces and contributions to the family. With all that Mom does for her children, it would seem like the concept of honouring her would be ages old. However, it really wasn’t until relatively recently that a celebration of mothers was instituted. In ancient Greece individuals honoured Rhea, mother of the gods. Christians also celebrated Mary the mother of God. But it wasn’t until the 1900s before the general mothering population was celebrated in earnest. In the U.S., Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was a young Appalachian
homemaker who, beginning in 1858, attempted to improve sanitation and nursing procedures through women’s clubs and what she called “Mothers Friendship Day.” It wasn’t Anne Marie, but rather her daughter, Ann Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Day that we celebrate today. Anna spent many years caring for her aging and ailing mother. Anne Marie died on May 9, 1905 and Anna missed her terribly. Anna noticed that many children failed to respect and honour their mothers while they were alive, and it wasn’t until after they died that these children recognized what they had lost in their parent. She intended to start a Mother’s Day to honour mothers.
In 1907, Anna Jarvis attempted to establish Mother’s Day to “honour mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Together with her friends, Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and congressmen to declare a national Mother’s Day holiday. Her efforts paid off. The ¿rst Mother’s Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908 and honoured the late Anne Marie Reeves Jarvis. After this initial celebration, Mother’s Day caught on. The Mother’s Day International Association was established on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaningful observances of the event.

Mayors must decide on joining TransLink board Governance reform creates new seats, ‘awkward’ dynamic
it an attempt to co-opt the chair and vicechair of the mayors’ council – District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton and Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender. “It puts them in a very awkward position,” Corrigan said. “We would have two of our people there making decisions on our behalf but they won’t be able to come back and tell us what they decided in-camera.” He said the province is trying to muzzle mayors by giving them an ineffectual minority on the board, adding he will urge his counterparts to reject the offered seats and hold out for more robust, democratic reform of TransLink’s structure. “My recommendation at this point would be to reject any kind of participation on the board,” Corrigan said. “The idea that you

The province’s plan to put two Metro Vancouver mayors on the appointed TransLink board – which makes all decisions behind closed doors – will create a tricky new dynamic that civic leaders say will be uncomfortable at best. The tweak to the governance structure unveiled by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom installs the chair and vice-chair of the regional mayors’ council as directors on the TransLink board, joining nine other appointed directors. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan called

Fassbender said TransLink’s board should decide most matters openly in public meetings and the mayors will be able to push for that change. If the board must keep some issues in-camera, he said, those can still be reported back to the other mayors on a con¿dential basis as well. “I don’t see a problem,” he said. Bill 51, the TransLink reform legislation tabled Monday, indicates that any mayors’ rep who resigns from the board can never serve on it again. The bill also provides new tools to enforce payment of unpaid transit ¿nes.

Supreme Court to participate in the Auditor General’s probe into paying legal fees for government aides convicted of breach of trust in the sale of B.C. Rail operations. Van Dongen cited the decision to pay $6 million to lawyers for Dave Basi and Bobby Virk when he quit the B.C. Liberal Party in March and joined the B.C. Conservatives. In his submission to the court, he said he has a “distinct perspective” on the issue, where the government departed from its policy of recovering costs from government employees if they are convicted of a crime. “The abrupt and surprising end to the prosecution with the guilty pleas VAN DONGEN and sentencing on October 18, 2010, was followed immediately by the revelation of the unprecedented legal fees indemnity waiver, contrary to established policy, provoking signi¿cant public controversy,” van Dongen wrote in an af¿davit. “To the best of my knowledge, this was also the ¿rst case in British Columbia where an indemnity of this nature was given to persons charged with serious criminal offences such as bribery or corruption.” Attorney General Shirley Bond has repeatedly stated that the fee decision to pay the legal bills was made by two deputy ministers with no political input. She said the government has released everything to Auditor General John Doyle that it has the authority to release, and the detailed billings Doyle is seeking are protected by solicitor-client privilege between Basi, Virk and their lawyers.

It’s advisable to sell your current home before buying a new one. Despite the stress of not knowing where you’ll live, it’s likely better than the stress of owning two residences at once.
10 steps to take when buying a home
You should already have saved some of your down payment and you should be good at managing debt like credit cards or student loans. A mortgage is a ¿nancial responsibility that also requires constant upkeep. DECIDE HOW MUCH YOU CAN AFFORD
Use this simple equation to consider what you can expect after you’ve saved for your down payment. The cost of buying a home = one time costs (down payment, legal fees, inspection fees and taxes) + monthly costs (mortgage, utilities, maintenance, insurance and property taxes). DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO BUY
First, decide where you want to live (urban, suburban, rural) and then decide which neighbourhood suits you best and what type of home (detached, attached or apartment) you want. Whether or not the property is new or resale may also affect your costs. See the Dream Home Checklist for more information.

ADD SOME SPECIALISTS TO YOUR TEAM
A mortgage broker may be able to get you the best possible rates. A notary public or a lawyer will help you understand the many legal documents that come with buying your home. A home inspector can save you from unpleasant surprises when you move in. MAKE AN OFFER
Realtors are expertly trained and will prepare your offer for you. If you have any concerns or hesitations, ask your realtor to explain. ARRANGE A MORTGAGE
There are many ways to ¿nd a realtor: drive through neighbourhoods that interest you and jot down names, go to open houses, look at advertising, ask friends and family if they have worked with a realtor they like. Interview two or three and pick the one you like best.
There are hundreds of banks, credit unions and other lenders. How do you select which one is best for you? Now is not the time to be money-shy! Talk to your ¿nancial institution and call around to others. Ask friends, family and colleagues. Realtors are very knowledgeable about mortgages and have lots of good advice and they may be able to refer you to a mortgage broker.
SEE WHAT’S OUT THERE
CLOSE THE DEAL AND MOVE IN
Realtors run an incredible search tool called the Multiple Listings Service (MLS for short) which contains information on property listings. Your realtor can send you listings that ¿t your criteria and together, you can draw up a short list and visit a handful of homes to make an informed and wise decision. You can also view listings here.
You offer has been accepted! Great news! Your realtor and notary public or lawyer will do most of the closing work. But make sure to ask about any conditions of the agreement that require immediate action on your part. Before you know it, you’ll be handed the keys to your new home.

ARE YOU READY TO BUY?
SELL YOUR CURRENT HOME It’s the age-old question, do I sell my home before I buy, or do I buy my new home before I sell? It’s natural to want to buy your new home ¿rst so you have the security of knowing where you’ll be living. But there are advantages to selling ¿rst, buying later: • You’ll know how much your house is worth, so you can be surer of how much you can spend • There’s a chance you won’t have to make your offer subject to ¿nancing • You might be able to arrange a long closing to give you time to look • It could be a stressful situation, but it’s also stressful to own two homes!

Community feel important when choosing a home
Feeling at home in a low-rise building When you’re looking for a home, feeling welcome in the community is often a big part of the puzzle. While high-rise architecture is popular, perhaps a low-rise development might be just what you’re looking for. “People find comfort in the smaller scale,” says Andrew Emmerson of GBL Architects. “That’s not to say there won’t still be high-rises ... but (low-rises) feel more homey to some.” One of the positive things about living in a smaller development is that you can more easily get to know your neighbours. “You’re sharing amenities with 50 instead of 500,” Emmerson says. “Low-
rise buildings are more personable in that regard.” That idea is being tested with Collection 45, an exclusive development that features 45 studio, one- and twobedroom suites on six floors in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, with the bottom floor holding commercial space. “It’s not your typical cookie-cutter development,” says Emmerson. The neighbourhood is a blend of historic and modern, with restaurants, shopping and recreation all within walking distance. For more information, visit collection45.com or call 604-569-1555.
lend an incredible sense of space and elegance to every home, while the bathrooms are made for relaxation. His-and-hers sinks, glass shower stalls and hand-set tile flooring all combine to make for what really is the perfect bathroom. They also include some special features that are sure to impress, such as a powder room on the main floor and two parking spaces with every home. “Many of our buyers have been asking for a bathroom on the main level,” says Kasahara. “We were able to achieve that in all of these floorplans,
and expect it to be a huge selling feature here at Bishop Creek.” The private garages on every home feature a bonus room off of them, which Kasahara says can be used as extra storage space or a media room. “We call it the ‘Man Cave’,” he says, adding that it’s “the perfect space for a big-screen TV, couch and bar fridge.” The townhomes are built in a Craftsman style, with wood and brick accents and plenty of outdoor space, including private decks and patios. The development itself includes a landscaped park with a playground, and is bordered by the Bishop Creek itself and Harold Bishop Elementary School. The location also offers easy access to Highway 1. The sales centre will open this summer, and buyers will be able to take possession before the next school year starts. Homes at Bishop Creek start in the mid $300,000s. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes.ca or call 604588-0005.
