PHILIP WARBURTON PHOTOS
Port Coquitlam wildlife enthusiast Philip Warburton photographed this mother bear leaping over a four-foot-high fence on Oliver Road in Coquitlam two weeks ago. He used a long lens to capture the image so as not to disturb the bear family; the mother was joining two of its cubs, which had already jumped the electric fence to get to the blueberry fields. For more on bears, blueberries and fences, see article, page A6.

Quiet approach to bells Church will stick to schedule originally given to the city By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The frequency and volume of bells at Our Lady of the Assumption Church have been reduced but neighbours in its Port Coquitlam
neighbourhood are skeptical about how long the quiet will last. Nick DiTomaso, a Grant Avenue resident, said the bells have been an annoyance since the Catholic church’s new tower was built last year. He acknowledged that the disruptions had ceased but said he was concerned the changes are only temporary. “The bells have been good
this week,” he said, “but let’s get something on paper.” The city said the church has programmed its bell schedule to meet a 2009 memo it provided staff when seeking a variance to build the bell tower. That schedule includes ringing for mass on Sundays as well as for weddings, funerals and other special occasions, not the hourly ringing between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
that has taken place. If Assumption fails to follow the schedule, Wendy McHaffie, another area resident, said the city needs to enforce its noise bylaws and fine the parish. “Where in the Community Charter... does it state that the city does not have to enforce its bylaws?” she asked. “Why make them?” see SOLUTION SOUGHT SOUGHT,, page A4

Bobcat, not cougar, spotted in Mundy Park By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Cougar or bobcat? That’s the question Coquitlam’s urban wildlife co-ordinator had to ask himself when he recently fielded a call about wild animals in Mundy Park. Drake Stephens said he received an unconfirmed report of a cougar in the popular walking and jogging park but photos emailed to him proved the animal was not a cougar but a bobcat. “It is possible to see
a cougar in any of our greenspaces but these sightings usually turn out to be bobcat sightings,” Stephens said in an email. Both cats tend to be elusive and shy of people but otherwise have very different habits. Cougars are larger, with a long tail — which may be one-third of their total body length — and mostly eat deer; bobcats are smaller and typically dine on rodents. There has never been a report of a bobcat attack in B.C., according to the Conservation Officer
Service, but cougar attacks, although rare, do occur, although most incidents have been on Vancouver Island. Nevertheless, Stephens offered tips for staying safe when faced with a cougar: “If you run into a cougar, stay calm, don’t run from any wild animal. If the cougar starts to approach you, make yourself look big and be aggressive and loud. If other people are around, group together.” Conservation Officer Cody Ambrose said he also received an uncon-
firmed report of a cougar sighting but said it was not likely the bigger cat based on the information provided. It’s not unusual to see cougars in the TriCities when their habitat is disturbed by snowfall or logging. Typically, they follow deer into the Tri-Cities and one was seen recently in Port Moody, as it tracked the deer population. Walkers, joggers and back-country trekkers should take precautions around all wildlife, including cougars and bears, he said, because they tend to be unpre-
dictable. “If you respect them, they’ll respect you,” Ambrose said. He also warned backyard chicken farmers to protect their flocks because bobcats will go after chickens. • For a safety guide from the B.C. Ministry of Environment, including a photo of a cougar, visit http://www.env.gov. bc.ca/wld/documents/ cougsf.htm. • For more on bobcats, visit http://www.env.gov. bc.ca/lower-mainland/ wildlife/species/region2_ species.htm#fourth. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bobcats, like this young one sitting in a tree, are sometimes mistaken for cougars but they are occasionally spotted in the Tri-Cities. They are good for the environment because they eat rodents.
Two more riot pleas Two Tri-City residents are expected to enter guilty pleas for their role in last year’s Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver. CKNW is reporting that Patrick Judge, a 25-year-old Port Moody resident charged with break and enter, two counts of mischief and participating in a riot, is expected to enter a guilty plea on Monday. Judge was allegedly seen throwing a newspaper box through the window of a clothing store. He was later observed vandalizing a Mini Cooper parked in the 500-block of W. Georgia Street, before attempting
to light a couch on fire. He was also seen allegedly committing a breakand-enter at a drug store. Vassili Kisselev, a 22-year-old Coquitlam resident who is facing one count of participating in a riot and a breakand-enter charge, was also expected to plead guilty on Monday. The pair are not the only Tri-City residents to have legal troubles stemming from last year’s riot. In April, a young offender from Coquitlam was charged with participating in a riot and mischief while another was charged with par-
ticipating in a riot and break and enter. Neither can be named because of provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Ryan Dickinson, a Coquitlam resident who was on probation at the time of the riot, received a 17-month jail sentence for his part in the events that took place after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Vancouver Police Department has recommended 674 criminal charges against 225 suspected rioters. So far 23 people have pleaded guilty. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Big bucks spent in losing election cause Trasolini gets an extension for his financial papers By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Election campaign fundraising and expenses released this we e k fo r t h e Po r t Moody-Coquitlam byelection paint a picture of cash-rich political parties battling upstart challengers for voter support. At least, that’s true of the losing candidates since the winner of the
spring vote has yet to file campaign expense documents and has been granted an extension. Former Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini handily won the April 19 byelection, collecting 54.4% of votes cast but his candidate expenses are not available because of extenuating circumstances, according to Elections BC, which said Trasolini has been given until Aug. 3 to file his campaign expenditures. A spokesperson for the BC NDP said the extension was needed to give the volunteer financial agent enough time
to pull together the information and is not an unusual occurrence for expense reports. But expense reports filed by defeated BC Liberal candidate Dennis Marsden show just how high the stakes were for the BC Liberals and how desperately Premier Christy Clark’s ruling party wanted to keep the seat formerly held by Liberal Iain Black. According to the expense reports filed last Tuesday and made available today, Marsden’s campaign spent $95,639 before and during the

$21,847
campaign, with most of the money coming from BC Liberal coffers.
Marsden polled 30.24% of the 11,167 votes cast, spending
roughly $28 per vote he received. In contrast, BC Conservative candidate Christine Clarke’s campaign spent $21,847 for 15.36% of the popular vote, or about $13 for each vote. T hose two candidates didn’t raise very much cash from local donors and, as a result, most of the money for their campaigns came from the provincial parties — $93,236 from the BC Liberals and $19,260 from the BC Conservatives. According to audited financial statements,
Marsden collected just $2,154 in donations from local individuals and corporations while Clarke received $1,329 from locals. Rent, office supplies, professional services, research and polling accounted for most of the campaign expenditures for both parties. Clarke spent about $2,321 for research and polling services, among her largest campaign expenses, while Marsden’s campaign spent $20,236 on telecommunications services, including phone bank calling. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Mayor Greg Moore said the city likes to find a community solution before resorting to fines. Bylaw enforcement staff, he added, prefer to work with a person and educate them about the importance of adhering to the rules set out by the city before handing out tickets. “We have chosen as a council not to go in and fine someone every time they break a bylaw,� he said. “If we did, we would have people handing out tickets all day long. I don’t think that would make for a happy community.� Last week, during a community safety committee meeting, PoCo councillors did not take formal action against the church regarding its bell schedule. It has asked the parish to reduce the volume to the 69- to 70-decibel range and stop hourly ringing. If the two sides cannot find a compromise, PoCo staff have said a meeting will be held in the fall to discuss whether the city will need to intervene. Paul Dufault, a member of the church’s building committee, said the parish plans to adhere to the schedule it presented to council with one exception. He said a bell ringing at 9 a.m. on Saturday is currently not on the schedule but is impor tant to mark a special mass for the church. Hourly ringing will no longer take place, he added. “I think right now, our commitment is to maintain it through to September,� he said. “But I expect it will continue. I don’t see us going back to the hourly schedule.�
Threat but no bomb at board By Gary McKenna
Coquitlam RCMP officers are investigating after a bomb threat was called in to the School District 43 board office Monday morning. Cpl. Jamie Chung said bomb-sniffing dogs were used to clear the area after the call came in to the Port Moody Police Department at around 11:40 a.m. PoMo police gave the information to Coquitlam RCMP, which is handling the investigation. “The person mentioned on the phone that there is a bomb in there,� Chung said. “I can’t disclose any more details.� Chung said that so far, the person who called the police is not considered a suspect. The caller may have been relaying information they had heard from somewhere else, he said.
“It is better to take it seriously than to brush it off and have something happen. We treat every call as if there is actually a bomb until proven otherwise.� Cpl. Jamie Chung Police quickly moved into the area — the board of education office is located at 550 Poirier St., next to Centennial secondary school — after the call was made in attempt to secure the building. “We do take this very seriously,� he said. “It is better to take it seriously than to brush it off and have something happen. We treat every
call as if there is actually a bomb until proven otherwise.� SD43 spokesperson Cheryl Quinton said she was told the threat was fairly general and the building was not evacuated. Police and their dogs came through the building and quickly determined that there was no threat to the office.

Evergreen rail works Early work on the Evergreen Line will soon expand into Port Moody, with the relocation of railway tracks next to Clarke Street. The CP Rail tracks between Queens and Mary streets will be shifted to accommodate part of the guideway. Rail service is expected to continue without any major interruption. The work will begin next month and will also require utilities to be moved, along with a realignment of Columbia Street next to the tracks. As well, crews will be building a gravel base for the relocated tracks. Final track construction and relocation will happen sometime next year. The provincial government has awarded the $2-million contract to BEL Contracting. Crews started on the Evergreen Line early construction works in May, beginning with widening North Road and installing power supply lines. The $1.4-billion Evergreen Line is expected to be operating in summer 2016.

Another quarter, another payout for the city of Coquitlam from the Boulevard Casino. The city collected $1.9 million in gaming revenue for the last three months, down slightly from the previous quarter. TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO Since the Boulevard Coquitlam’s share of casino Casino opened in 2002, cash is $83M in 10 years. Coquitlam has collected more than $83 million from its 10% cut from the United Boulevard gaming venue, most of which is spent on major capital projects; the city also puts aside 12.5% in a community fund for local nonprofit groups. Last month, Port Coquitlam council unanimously voted to lobby the Union of BC Municipalities to get the provincial government to better distribute gaming funds so communities surrounding a casino also get a piece of the pie.

An electrified fence installed around the perimeter of a private berry farm next to Minnekhada Re gional Park in Coquitlam has received a cool reception from parks staff at Metro Vancouver. Frieda Schade, a Metro regional district planner, said the fence is too close to Oliver Road, a route many people and their dogs use as a recreational path to access the park. “The fence was put up to prevent bears from going into the berry patch,” she said. “Unfortunately, he has not picked a very good location to put that fence.” Conservation officers and the city of Coquitlam, she added, are pleased the fence is up to protect bears but they acknowledge the location is not ideal. But Mark Robinson, whose family owns Minnekhada Berry Growers, said the company is within its rights to place the fence where it is. The road is jointly owned, with the south side belonging to the Robinsons and the north side controlled by Metro Vancouver. The unique arrangement does not exist anywhere else in the park system, according to Schade. Robinson said a recent Coquitlam council decision banning hunting in the area prompted the family to install the fence. “If they would let us do our regular hunts down here, it would be perfectly fine,” he said. “At least we are controlling the [bear] population.” Robinson was one of several people involved in a licensed and legal bow and arrow hunt on the property last year that wounded a bear. The animal was found dead a day later after wandering into Minnekhada. That prompted the city of Coquitlam to act and, in a 5-4 decision last week, council voted to ban bow

hunting and restrict the discharge of firearms in the municipality. The new bylaw, which imposes a $300 fine for a violation, bans gun used on farmland unless the owner needs to protect his crops, as allowed under provincial legislation. Robinson said anyone who touches the fence will receive a jolt but it will not do any permanent damage to a person or a dog. “It would give you a good zap,” he said. “You aren’t going to touch it ever again.” He added that there are plenty of signs to let people know the fence is electrified and he does not fear any legal repercussions should a person or animal accidentally get zapped. “You would have to be an idiot to touch that fence,” he said.

Hearing delayed By Gary McKenna
PoCo hires new CAO
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A public hearing for a proposed townhouse development on Salisbury Avenue in Port Coquitlam w i l l r e c o nve n e i n September after residents said they were not given enough notice to prepare for the meeting. Ben Wilson, who lives near the site, said signs posted on the property did not state when and where the public hearing would take place. He added that many of his neighbours oppose the development but did not have adequate time to prepare their submissions for city council. “There has been inadequate notice of this public hearing,” he said. “Many people in my neighbourhood just found out today that there was a hearing. There has been inadequate time to prepare our opposition for this.” Susan Rauh, PoCo’s corporate officer, said the city met the legal requirements for informing the public about the project. Two notices were printed in The Tri-City Newss and a mail-out was sent to residents. There is no stipulation in the city’s bylaws that states the date and time of a hearing must be posted on the sign outside of a property, she said. But council voted in
Port Coquitlam has a new chief administrative officer. John Leeburn, a resident of PoCo, has 17 years experience with the district of Maple Ridge, most recently serving as executive director. The CAO is the city’s top non-elected official and provides professional advice to the mayor and council. More than 38 applicants from across the country were considered during the four-month search to replace Tony Chong, the previous CAO. Leeburn will start on Sept. 10. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

favour of reconvening the public hearing when regular meetings begin a g ain in Se ptember. Councillors Michael Wright and Glenn Pollock opposed the decision. Pollock told council he is concerned the delay, which because of the summer break will be more than a month, represents an unnecessary hardship on the developer. If the application is approved, the owners of the property would be allowed to build a 17-unit townhouse development in an area that is largely single-family homes. According to the city’s official community plan, townhouses are appropriate for the area. But an amendment is required because the applicant’s proposal calls for two more units than what is
allowed under the current zoning. But Anne Larson, who lives on nearby Edinburgh Street, said adding 17 homes to the neighbourhood would congest local streets and harm the quality of life for existing residents. “I strongly feel the number of units is too many for the area,” she said. “Why should I be forced into this situation when the individual profiting from this development lives in a different neighbourhood? I understand the need for more housing but at what cost?” The public hearing is expected to reconvene in September. Once it is concluded council can vote on third and fourth reading of the OCP amendment. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

inally, an Evergreen Line station location that makes sense. Tri-City shoppers and commuters who plan to rely on the Evergreen Line to get around will be happy to know they will soon be within a quick rapid transit ride of Coquitlam Centre. Thanks to federal contributions totalling $7 million, plus property contributed by mall owners Pension Fund Realty Ltd., and developer contributions, there will be a third station in Coquitlam Town Centre. Lincoln Station makes sense because of its proximity to highrise developments and a regional shopping centre. It will be close to thousands of new Town Centre residents and makes more sense than some stations along the route from Burnaby to Coquitlam that have significantly less density (at least at the start). The city of Coquitlam had to justify this station with the projection of bums in seats because there are two other stops within close proximity, and politicians and staff both deserve congrats for being dogged on this file. But much work needs to be done to come up with the $20 million to $25 million to pay for this needed station. Stay tuned for even more density in the area. While we’re on the topic of station locations, it’s a wonder the rapid transit planners couldn’t redraw the route to take in Port Coquitlam, which is growing by leaps and bounds but will be a car-centric city unless residents get served by better transit. Others, meanwhile, might quibble with a station location at the southwest corner of Town Centre Park to serve Douglas College students who, it could be argued, should have the stamina to walk to Lincoln from their classes, thereby saving the necessity of a sadly misnamed Douglas College station. That station, which is actually down the road at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, has the potential of being an ugly terminus sitting next to the lovely Lafarge Lake. No doubt station designers, city planners and landscape architects have their work cut for them to make this final Tri-City stop a civic showpiece. But for now, we’re just happy to see the rapid transit project has left the station and a major stop will be at the local mall.

ews on the street lately has been pretty grim. Twelve people shot to death in a Colorado movie theatre early Friday morning. Two people, including a 14-year-old girl, killed at a Toronto house party, just weeks after two died in a shooting at the same city’s Eaton Centre mall. Closer to home, four people — including three from the same family — died after a mudslide swept through Johnson’s Landing in rural B.C. on July 12. Last Thursday, a young German shepherd died after being left in a Vancouver dumpster. And last Friday morning, police confirmed the body of a young woman was found near the Nicomekl River in south Surrey.

This tragic and heart-wrenching — and, sadly, incomplete — list is enough to make one’s head spin; to make some question what is going on in the world, in their community and even in their neighbours’ backyards. It may even give some pause, causing hesitation to do things — go to a new movie, for example — that normally would be done without a second thought, for fear of being added to another ugly list. Tragedy, we know, is not a new thing. It is seen, heard, photographed, shared, tweeted, debated and what-have-you every day. It can be accidental or the result of incomprehensible intent. It leads to front-page newspaper stories, headlined television broadcasts, based-onfact movies and bestselling biographies. Sometimes, tragedy will beget tragedy; a family member distraught by the death of a loved one decides to take her own life; friends angered by the shooting death of a close pal take justice into their own hands,

“Tragedy, we know, is not a new thing. It is seen, heard, photographed, shared, tweeted, debated and whathave-you every day.” Tracy Holmes triggering further violence, loss and grief. But amidst all the pain and anger and frustration of the senselessness, should we stop living our daily lives? It may seem like a good idea, at least in the
blurred aftermath. After all, no one person or community is immune to senseless tragedy. Why not lower the odds, when possible? To say that taking that stance would be a greater tragedy than all the deaths of recent days would sound ridiculous. But there’s no question actually taking that stance would only compound what has happened. It would show those who perpetuate such acts that they are indeed powerful. It would teach our children to be afraid, and there is nothing to gain from that. There may not be any good in what has happened of late. But why make it worse?

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Future for R’view The Editor, Re. “Riverview Stories” (The Tri-City News). Kudos to The Tri-City News for the informative and well-written series of stories on Riverview’s history and importance to our community. The personal insights shared are invaluable for both educating newcomers and reminding longer term area residents of the unique gem we have in Riverview. Hats off to reporters Sarah Payne and Diane Strandberg. Countless people drive along Lougheed H i g h w ay p a s t t h e Riverview Hospital grounds each day but I’m sure relatively few have taken the time to see them first-hand. Hopefully, reading the stories about Riverview will pique people’s interest to do so sooner rather than later. Like many, I believe the Riverview lands should be preserved in the public domain but their future is uncertain. I would like to challenge people to have

The Editor, Re. “Battle of the church bells continues You can comment on any story you read at in PoCo” (The Tri-City www.tricitynews.com News, July 18). I could not believe someone would take on church bells. That sound has long been a symbol of peace, happiness, sadness and even a celebration, as mentioned. I live in the lower Lougheed triangle and I would love to have Wendy McHaffie come sit in my yard day to day and at all hours when the train horns blast at well over 100 decibels with no regard for time. Since moving in 15 years ago, the people at city hall thought it would be a good idea to cut all the trees that used to buffer the freeway noise as well as the noise from trains to make way for highway expansion, and replace them with an eight-foot-high wall for young artists to colour up because that’s all its good for. I would invite Ms. McHaffie to come at 2 and 3 and 3:30 a.m., and every 20 minutes some days, when the trains go through the crossing at Braid and Columbia/Brunette, and hang on the horn wire for more than five seconds four times. That’s in the middle of the night! You want to talk about loss of use and enjoyment How is this not disturbing the peace? Especially in the middle of the night? How can I stop them, if only in the middle of the night? John Bakirgis, Coquitlam

Firefighters had to break in By Gary McKenna
INVITE FIREFIGHTERS TO PARTIES
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
One woman is in police custody after a fire that investigators say may have been deliberately set ripped through a Port Coquitlam home Sunday night. PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico told The Tri-City News when crews arrived at the Westminster Avenue home, they had to forcibly remove the woman from the building after she refused to leave on her own. “We had to search for her and we found her on the bottom floor,” he said. “She wasn’t interested in leaving the structure.” To get to the woman, crews had to break down the front door, which was locked when firefighters arrived. The women’s husband was able to es-

Port Coquitlam firefighters do not want to be left off the invite list when city residents hold block parties this summer. A free outreach initiative encourages organizers of community events to invite local fire crews, which can provide safety information on a variety of topics. The program was launched in 2005 to improve safety and give local adults and children the opportunity to meet firefighters and see some of the lifesaving equipment they use. Crews have attended hundreds of neighbourhood events and can tailor the theme to include a range of topics, including helmet safety, barbecue safety, use of fire extinguishers and testing and maintenance of smoke alarms. For more information about the program, go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/fire. To request a visit, contact deputy fire chief Randy Minaker at minakerr@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-5340. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

he said. “We can’t say for sure because the investigation is not finished.” Estimates of the cost of the damage were not available but Delmonico said it would be a while before anyone is able to move back in. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the woman involved in the incident has been hospitalized. Investigators are still looking into the case but will need to hear from doctors and other witnesses before they consider laying any charges. He added that neither the woman nor her husband sustained lifethreatening injuries as a result of the fire.

Preparations for Port Coquitlam’s biggest summer event are under way. During Monday’s meeting, city council approved the necessary permits to allow the eighth annual Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association Downtown Car Show, which will feature hundreds of hot rods and vintage cars on Sunday, Aug. 19 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Last year, more than 500 vehicles and 40,000 people flooded the city’s downtown for what has become an annual tradition for hobbyists and car enthusiasts from across the Lower Mainland.

Finding a family’s history A family’s history that was never discussed is found in the clinical records and doctors’ reports from Essondale
By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
B
ill Bidewell slides a stack of papers out of a large brown envelope and starts flipping through the pages. Admission records. Ward reports. Doctors’ notes. Clothing inventory. Medical certificate under the Mental Hospitals Act. Registration of Death. Bidewell lifts one side of a bright yellow file folder; inside is a jumble of old sepia-toned photographs of varying sizes, documenting a young man’s arrival in Canada, a wedding, a family camping trip to Bowen Island. These pages and pictures form the history of his wife’s family, a story he has carefully and diligently curated over a 20-year span. What he uncovered about her grandparents was “mind-boggling,” he said, and came as an upsetting surprise to both of them. Irene Bidewell’s grandfather had been committed to what was then the Provincial Mental Hospital at Essondale after suffering a mental break. Believing herself to have been the cause of his decline, and failing in her own efforts to “cure” his condition, Irene’s grandmother later suffered her own break and was also committed to Essondale. In separated wards far away from each other, and 14 years apart, husband and wife both died at the institution.
FAMILY HISTORY
THIS SERIES
• Over the next few months, as Riverview Hospital closes and the property approaches its 100th anniversary in 2013, The TriCity News will publish a series of articles by reporters Sarah Payne and Diane Strandberg about the people who worked, lived and had family there.
Next week: Finnie’s garden
Bidewell’s search into his own family’s history started in the early 1980s with hours spent digging into government census records and at the genealogy centre located at the Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints near his home in Kelowna. Eventually, he turned to his wife and said, “What about your family?” Irene knew little about them except that her grandfather had died at Essondale. “Her mother had lived with us for eight years and never said anything about her parents,” Bidewell said. “There was no talk about family, period. You just didn’t talk about those things.” Bidewell persevered, however, and in 2010 created a summary of his findings. Irene Bidewell’s maternal grandparents were born in Kent, England — Caroline Julia Horton, known as Carrie, in December 1866 and Edward Spain in January 1867. In 1887, Edward and his older brother Cyrus sailed for Canada but it was 1889 before Edward made it to Vancouver. Carrie arrived in Canada in May 1891 and she and Edward were married on June 1 in Vancouver. They had two children — Lily (Irene’s mother) in September 1893, followed by Violet in October 1898. Devout Christians, Edward and Carrie were active members of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, participating in services and leading Sunday school activities. A change in church leadership in 1928 prompted a split in the close-knit community, however, and the Spains followed their minister to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle. At about the same time, Edward was promoted to a supervisory position in his work at CP Rail. But what would be cause to celebrate for most people caused in Edward a crippling anxiety. “Edward could be an eager and co-operative participant in most activities...[but] when it came to leadership, he was willing to give preference to others,” Bidewell wrote in his summary, noting that during their Atlantic crossing, Cyrus led the church services while Edward was “happy to assist with hymn books and distributing tracts.”

Painstaking research by Bill Bidewell allowed him to piece together the history of wife Irene’s family (right) — including painful revelations about her grandparents and their time at Essondale.
Edward felt like a failure in his new role at CP and his wife’s encouragement did little to bolster his spirits. He grew to hate work and had days where he was unable to get out of bed. Their savings depleted and the couple was eventually forced to move in with their younger daughter and her family in Vancouver. Edward’s condition worsened and on April 27, 1931, he was admitted to Essondale. “He is very confused and little information can be gotten from him,” wrote a Dr. Minorgan. “His manner is very nervous. He has no idea of the nature of his

present condition.” More notes: Attitude — friendly. Attention — difficult to gain. Memory — poor. Mental grasp — poor. Emotional trend — unstable. Propensity — delusions varied, confused. “Keeps repeating over the same words,” wrote a Dr. George Petrie. “Either does not answer questions or does not answer them intelligently. Keeps stating that he is very wicked but has always lived a very upright life adhering to religious principles.” “Other facts indicating insanity,” the medical certificate continued, include that “his wife and son-in-law stated that he asked to have his throat cut.”
CHANGE OF SCENERY
Two years later, little had changed for Edward and Carrie’s guilt was eating away at her. She believed she had caused Edward’s mental breakdown after pushing him too hard to overcome his troubles at work, and decided a change of scenery would do her husband some good. see RIVERVIEW STORIES STORIES,, page A15 15

Read your way to fitness A GOOD READ Dianne Allen Weight loss and exercise info in variety of books
S
ummer is finally here and we have to make the most of the long, sunny days. Everyone wants to be outside having fun and feeling good, eating healthy and exercising will definitely help us have a better summer. Libraries are filled with fantastic books to help us feel and look better this summer. The following books are filled with great tips on exercise and healthy eating: Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness and The Lean, lets us know that weight loss doesn’t have to be difficult and it can last. She has an amazing ability to take information from different disciplines and make it accessible to the average person. The Lean is for anyone who has ever dieted and experienced the painful disappointment of having the pounds creep back on again. Each day of The Lean plan, Freston shows readers how to make and commit to small, realistic diet and lifestyle changes. Over time, theses changes can yield unexpected and significant results. The Quantum Wellness Cleanse, also by Freston, is about finding healing and wellness by making incremental changes in our lives. Freston writes about what it means to be healthy in mind, body and spirit, and how the three are inextricably intertwined. Give her the 21 days she asks for and you’ll see the world around you differently. Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, MD is a six-week program that focuses on nutrientdense foods such as vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. This program helps you lose weight and not be hungry all the time. Fuhrman provides an aggressive vegetarian program as well as a more moderate plan that allows for consumption of some animal products. A weekly shopping list, menus and recipes are very helpful. Forks over Knives by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr., MD is a practical, sensible guide to a plant-based way to health. The authors claim one simple change could save you
from heart disease, diabetes and cancer. This book is filled with great recipes and interesting personal success stories. OK, so now we are all eating really well. How about a bit of exercise? The Beginning Runner’s Handbook by Vancouver author Ian MacNeill and the Sport Medicine Council of
British Council is an absolutely basic guide for the novice runner. Easy to use and practical, this book will help you to get motivated, set realistic goals and choose the proper footwear and clothing. Yoga for Beginners by Brian Burns, Howard Kent and Claire Hayler is a straightforward guide to the practice of yoga. Part of the series From Couch to Conditioned: A Beginners Guide to Getting Fit, this excellent book describes the principles and benefits of yoga. It includes excellent illustrations of yoga postures and stepby-step explanations — a perfect book for anyone new to yoga. Finally, Choosing To Smile by Julie Houlker, Glenda Standeven and Michelle Rickaby is
the inspirational true story of three friends who happened to have cancer. The authors say their goal is to help people find strength by choosing to smile through whatever challenges life brings. This isn’t a book about exercising or nutrition but it will make readers remember to be grateful for all of the wonderful things they have in their lives. If you are looking for more great titles, don’t hesitate to ask at your local librarian — we are always happy to recommend books and other library resources. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Dianne Allen works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

PR E-R E ON GIST LY ER
RIVERVIEW STORIES continued from page A13 Carrie negotiated a six-month probationary release from Essondale for him and they travelled to Saskatchewan to live with their older daughter, Lily, and her husband, Oswald Smith. The experiment not only failed but caused Carrie to become depressed as well, and she too suffered a mental break. Edward was re-admitted to Essondale on Nov. 18 with a diagnosis of “involutional melancholia,� and Carrie followed a month later. “The patient is showing no improvement,� read the ward notes of Jan. 15, 1934. “She still refuses to speak and stands about the day room. She is mildly agitated. Her appetite is very poor and she is fed with difficulty.� Caroline Spain died on Jan. 31, 1934. Cause of death was listed as “exhaustion of senile dementia.� The weekly ward notes documenting Edward’s condition indicate a patient who was generally quiet but occasionally agitated. He talked to himself and worried excessively about his physical health. Family and friends regularly visited but he would demand they take him home and refused to speak to them when they did not comply. Eventually, only his son-in-law Oswald Smith was able to endure the visits. Edward died on Aug. 1, 1948 at the age of 81. Cause of death was listed as pneumonia, with a diagnosis of senile dementia.
SOLACE IN FAITH
Bidewell admits that he’s not an emotional person but that his wife was deeply upset to learn her grandparents’ fate. “It was disturbing at first because I had no idea that was the situation, and it’s so, so sad,� Irene Bidewell said in a quiet voice. She was an infant the only time she met her grandmother and has a dim memory of meeting her grandfather on the lawn at Essondale and giving him a chocolate bar. “I was so disappointed because he didn’t eat it,� she recalled. “He put it in his pocket where it would get soft.� But her husband’s research revealed Edward and Carrie spent years helping at the Baptist Sunday school and, as the Bidewells spent their careers as missionaries, Irene found solace in her grandparents’ steadfast faith. “And he played the violin,� she added. “He was a beautiful violinist.� spayne@tricitynews.com BEST BUY – Correction ction Notice Notice

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held on Monday, July 30, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, located at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. The City Clerk’s Office will compile a Speakers List for the Public Hearing items – please register by telephone at 604-927-3010. Everyone will be permitted to speak at the Public Hearing but those who have registered in advance will be given first opportunity. Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda. Item #1 Reference No. 11 017335 RZ Bylaw No. 4309, 2012 Addresses: 792/794 and 796/798 Clarke Road
Item #4 Reference No. 12 006196 RZ Bylaw No. 4325, 2012 Address: 3510 Highland Drive
The intent of Bylaw 4309, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties outlined in black on the map hereto and marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4309, 2012 from RT-1 Two-Family Residential to RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex Residential.
The intent of Bylaw 4325, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map hereto and marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4325, 2012 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential to RS-9 Large Single Family Residential and RS-11 Estate Single Family Residential.
If approved, the application would facilitate the development of one lot with four dwelling units in two principal buildings.
The intent of Bylaw No. 4328, 2012 is to introduce amendments to City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to regulate the production and distribution of medical marijuana for licenced marijuana growing operations, and to prohibit the distribution of marijuana from marijuana dispensaries not licenced by the federal government. Medical marijuana production and distribution is allowed as part of the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations under the licensing authority of Health Canada. Currently, medical marijuana production and distribution is not specified in the City’s Zoning Bylaw. The proposed Bylaw amendments aim to address some of the community health and safety concerns of medical marijuana production and distribution and include the following: •
•
Item #3 Reference No. 12 005892 RZ Bylaw No. 4329, 2012 Addresses: 3475 Darwin Avenue, 3466 and 3468 Roxton Avenue
•

• •
If approved, the application would facilitate the development of nine Large Village Single-Family Lots, one large lot (with future subdivision potential of approximately four lots) and a streamside protection area.
•
Introduce three new definitions: Marijuana Dispensary (non-medical marijuana facilities, i.e. compassion clubs that do not have a federal licence to deal in marijuana); Medical marijuana grow operation (medical marijuana production facilities); and Controlled Substance (as defined by the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act); Amend the definition of “Agricultural” to exclude a medical marijuana grow operation; Specifically permit the production of medical marijuana under a “designated-person production licence” as issued by Health Canada, in the M-3 Special Industrial Zone; Add provisions that require a medical marijuana grow operation to be fully enclosed and be the only permitted principal use on a lot; and Create a specific parking rate for medical marijuana grow operation; Add “Marijuana Dispensary” to the list of undesirable businesses which are prohibited in every zone.

Running from July 26 to 29, the first annual Port Moody Youth Arts Festival will showcase a variety of performing and visual arts in the City of the Arts. Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, the festival starts tomorrow with a performance by Clayton and the Kracken and ends Sunday with 5 happening throughout, the four-day fest at a drama by Jong Lee. With workshops (see page A25) Port Moody city hall is organized by co-chairs Richard Dixon, a retired Gleneagle drama teacher, Susan Ius and Coun. Gerry Nuttall of the city’s arts and culture committee. Admission is by donation. Visit portmoody.ca for the line-up. In this section are profiles of some young artists...

Clayton and the Kracken, featuring Clayton Dowdell, 16, (above left) will open the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival tomorrow evening. Dancer Lia Fallah, 16, (above right) will dance on Sunday evening.
Clayton/Kracken rocks and Lia dances CLAYTON DOWDELL
Clayton Dowdell will be making a mad dash after he and his band, Clayton and the Kracken, open the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival at 6 p.m. on Thursday. That’s because the 16-year-old Gleneagle secondary student is in another production that night — and every night during the four-day festival. Dowdell is cast in two roles for Theatrix’s Legally Blonde at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, a 10-minute car
ride away from Port Moody city hall. “Luckily, I’m not in the first few scenes,” Dowdell said of the comedy. But being busy is typical for him. The Grade 11 student is musically gifted: He plays the clarinet, trumpet, drums and guitar and, last year, was in the school’s concert band, concert choir and vocal jazz program. Last year, he and his bandmates — including two from PoMo’s Heritage Woods secondary — also formed “because we thought it would be cool
to play our own style and music and put cool things into the world.” Since then, the band has played Gleneagle’s Me To We fundraiser and the Port Coquitlam Farmers Market but the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival will be a big set for them as they cover songs from Said the Whale and We are the City. “I think it’s a great opportunity to get to be a main act and to get your voice out there,” Dowdell said, adding, “A lot of festivals are geared to established
acts only and that doesn’t give new and young artists a chance to get recognized.”
LIA FALLAH
Lia Fallah’s eyes light up when she talks about dance. “I think I was born on the stage,” the 16-yearold Gleneagle secondary student said. “Dancing is the most precious thing that I have in my life. I feel it. It’s my emotions. And I don’t really think about anything else when I perform.” And so far, Fallah has had many occasions to
display her talent, dancing at a number of events and festivals around the Lower Mainland since she immigrated to Canada with her family in December 2010. Love, freedom, hope and happiness are common themes in her routines — some of which are choreographed by her mother, Zohreh Aramian, a writer and theatre director; for others, Fallah picks up new movements by watching videos posted on YouTube. Standing 5’11” tall, the self-taught dancer

Sunday, the first at 8:20 p.m. and the second at 9:20 p.m.: a seven-minute Persian modern piece as well as a traditional Azerbaijan dance, lasting five minutes. Fallah decided to enter the festival “because I believe it’s a way to perform and show your message,” she said. “Dance, for me, is an art and it’s about love. That’s the main point.”

From watercolours to french fries, Tylo creates JESSE TYLO
For Jesse Tylo, the world is his oyster. Ask the Port Moody secondary student what he plans to do after graduation next year and he’ll respond: “I want to be well known for my art and influence. I want to make a statement.” Tylo, 17, sees himself working primarily in Europe, combining his visual art with fashion design. He’s not quite sure how he’ll get there but soft-spoken young man likes to dream big — and his talent and imagination are certainly evident. For the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival, the Coquitlam resident will exhibit four pieces in the city hall galleria: ink and watercolour paintings of Audrey Hepburn and Kristen Stewart; a charcoal work titled Before The Ending Starts; and an acrylic self portrait. Tylo got serious about his craft when he entered PMSS and took classes with instructor Judi Gardnner. His portraits attracted the

As for his influences, Tylo cites everything from the Renaissance age to film director Tim Burton.

Anderson animates TRAVIS ANDERSON
Travis Anderson remembers spending eight consecutive hours in front of his computer monitor to work on an animation project. “My parents weren’t very happy,” the 17-yearold Gleneagle secondary student said, shaking his head. “They were like, ‘Get off. Time to get outside.’” He also admits it was too long but a lot was accomplished during that recent period. The self-taught digital artist had been painstakingly crafting Time Lapse, a three-minute, 14-second piece for the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival; it will be screened on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The narrative centres in on a gentleman in a time machine with a hitchhiking lizard who has trouble with his flux capacities. The idea came from Steampunk, a 30-year-old genre that includes science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror and speculative fiction. The Grade 12 student not only hand-drew each of the 5,000 frames, he also did the titles and sound effects; for music, he partnered with his friend Samson Li. Anderson got into the medium seriously while

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Travis Anderson, 17, will showcase his animated short film Time Lapse Friday in Port Moody.
taking a class in animation at Gleneagle after his teacher introduced him to Flash software. He cites realism-fantasy as his forte. “These days, a camera can do the work better than you can so I take things that can’t get seen and incorporate the weird elements,” he said, noting he’s influenced by the imaginary world of James
Gurney, an oil painter who puts dinosaurs in modern landscapes, for example. The Coquitlam resident is pleased to be part of the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival “because it’s a chance to get your stuff out there, which is very important in your graduating year. I’m hoping to get into the film industry, either in art directing or animation. Just as long as I get to hold a pencil, I’m happy.”

Cyclones sweep Monarchs to nab BC ball series
Big prize for Botsis at Games Coq. girl claims top athletic award By Brett Bonderud BLACK PRESS
C
hanell Botsis put in two A-plus efforts as she grabbed gold in girls discus and javelin (Zone 3) at Bear Creek Park on Saturday. The 14-year-old Coquitlam athlete won the discus throw in the morning, then charged ahead to a firstplace finish in the javelin later that afternoon. Saturday’s twin gold combined with Botsis’s win in the hammer on Friday to make her three-forthree at this year’s BC Summer Games competition. Then came her really big prize Sunday, when she was presented with the W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence at the closing ceremonies. Botsis beamed at making a personal best of 43.06 m in javelin. Sporting a temporary red maple leaf tattoo on her biceps, Botsis said she loves the sports she competes in and the practice involved. The young athlete trains four days a week without complaint. It’s a lot of hard work, she said, but it’s well worth it. “I love it. It’s all I want to do,” she said. Her coach and parents, Jacqueline and Nick, have high praise for Chanell’s work ethic. “She’s good at everything,” said her discus and hammer throw coach Richard Collier. Botsis also shines in the classroom. She is a straight ‘A’ French immersion student, who particularly enjoys science and math. She loves collecting pins as well. She started collecting them during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Botsis excels on and off the field, and has trained with Canadian Olympian Curtis Moss, but she also remains humble. It is a quiet confidence, her parents said, and something Botsis will carry with her on the road to nationals next month in Prince Edward Island, and as she looks ahead to the Youth Olympics in China in 2014. see TRI-CITY C HOOP OO GALS, G S, page g A27 7

Ryan conquers Badwater Ultra By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS
Connor Frost of Port Moody receives his gold medal in field lacrosse Sunday at Newton Athletic Park.
Serving the Community for 27 years.
To beat the 48-degree Celsius heat, Coquitlam’s Lucy Ryan elected to take a dip in a swimming pool and suck down a popsicle. It nearly stopped her from becoming only the ninth Canadian female to finish the 135-mile (217 km) AdventureCORPS Badwater Ultramarathon last week in eastern California. Slight dehydration turned to shock when the 44-year-old Ryan cooled down too quickly
about 67 kilometres and nine hours into the race, which featured 96 competitors, including 17 women, from 14 countries and crosses the Death Valley desert and 13,000 feet of cumulative ascent over three mountain ranges. Dazed, shivering and stricken with a racing pulse, Ryan was treated by her crew –– husband Larry and Las Vegas residents Jason Henderson and Todd Hine –– for roughly one hour, sipping electrolyte drinks, resting in shade and nibbling on solid food until she was able to fully re-
cover and continue on the trek that has gained the reputation as the world’s toughest foot race. The lone Canadian woman entered in the 35th annual invitation-only event, Ryan went on to finish ninth among females and 54th overall last Tuesday in a time of 38 hours, 35 minutes and 17 seconds. It was the realization of 16year dream for Ryan, who first read an article about Badwater in 1996 and always wanted to do it. see BACK-TO-BACK, CK O CK, page g A27 7
The Coquitlamflavoured Fraser Valley (District 3) Cyclones whipped their way to the B.C. Senior (15-16) Little League provincial championship Saturday at Langley’s Walnut Grove Park. The Cyclones –– comprising 10 Coquitlam players, three from Whalley and one each from Langley and Fort Langley –– defeated the North and West Vancouver Monarchs (District 5) 8-2 and 8-7 to sweep the best-of-three series and give them a berth in the national finals starting Aug. 2 in Regina. In Game 1, Allen Velten cranked two doubles and drove in four runs to spur the Cyclones to the six-run win. Winning pitcher Ben McCarthy went five-and-two-thirds innings, allowing only two runs on four hits while striking out five. He also helped is own cause offensively by knocking in a pair of runs. In Game 2, the Cyclones bounced back from a 4-2 second-inning deficit to take an 8-6 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, when the Monarchs scored on a two-out wild pitch to make things tight. Velten again led the Cyclones at the plate, launching a double and finishing with three RBI. Cyclones’ starting pitcher Shane Younker struck out nine, allowing six runs on four hits. Younger also lashed a single to drive in the seventh and eighth Cyclones’ runs for the margin of victory. Aidan Davies came on to close the game and seal the title allowing one run on one hit and fanning two.

When she told some colleagues about some of the race’s hurdles –– from melting shoes to participants having to cut the toe boxes out of their shoes to ease swelling –– they thought Ryan was crazy. “I recall feeling sorry for my coworkers and the fact they wouldn’t
want to challenge themselves,” Ryan said. “To me, that’s living. I am just so happy to finally realize my dream come true. It is a very satisfying feeling.” And there’s plenty more in store for Ryan.

The three Tri-City mayors (l-r) Greg Moore of Port Coquitlam, Mike Clay of Port Moody and Richard Stewart of Coquitlam were the guests of honour at the annual Mayors’ Barbecue, organized by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce.
Three mayors working together for region Put three Tri-City Mayors in one room and there will always be an elephant in that room. The name of the pachyderm is Amalgamation. I bring that up because earlier this month your Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Mayors’ Barbeque at Port Moody Inlet Theatre. This event brings together the mayors from Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody for an evening of discussion and dialogue where the community (yes, everyone is welcome to attend) gets to ask questions of the three mayors. Many attending the sold-out event had questions touching on topics like policing, gas station operation policy and tax rates. There was even a statement made by the Mayor Greg Moore from Port Coquitlam on amalgamation which was very interesting. (you can see what the Mayors had to say for yourself on the Chambers YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/user/TriCitiesChamberBC). Overall, there was a real sense that the three Mayors were communicating well amongst themselves to the point where they meet on a regular basis along with their senior city staff members.
issues that affect all of them. As best as anyone can remember, this is the first time these joint meetings have ever happened. This I believe is a very positive sign for the Tri-Cities. It’s encouraging to see more communications between the cites and more opportunities for them to work together on projects and files that benefit businesses and residents in the region. I suspect as they continue down this path of enhanced communication, there will be more good things to come for the Tri-Cities as a whole. Isn’t it wonderful what things can be achieved by just talking to your neighbours on the other side of the fence, so to speak. I’m not sure where this is all going to end up but so far the early signs are positive. Sure, they won’t agree on everything and I would be shocked if they did. But at least the dialogue is there and that’s a winwin-win for everyone. Michael Hind Executive Director Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce
Taking that one step further, there have now been two meetings where all three city councils have gotten together and discussed

Pajo’s has been famous for its fish and chips for more than 25 years. But starting next week there are two more exciting meals being added to the menu. Pajo’s diners can try the Roast Garlic Salmon Caesar Salad and the Open-faced Fish Taco. Both meals are served with the same welcoming service that keeps people coming back for more. But if you’re traditional in your tastes, just order the award-winning Halibut and Chips. Tartar Sauce is always included. Pajo’s also serves hamburgers, hotdogs and a long list of side orders, desserts and beverages. Pajo’s uses fresh locally grown potatoes, cut daily, for its chips and the fish that is served comes from sustainable fish stocks. Pajo’s has been a Tri-City fixture for 25 years with its restaurant at Rocky Point Park. A second location can be found at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam.

Top 5 reasons to train your employees: The people that make up a company are the organization’s unique and biggest asset. Without the right employees, businesses will not grow, become more profitable or generate new ideas. The right employee training, development and education, at the right time, can provide big payoffs.
1. Increase productivity and customer support: Knowledgeable and skilled employees make fewer mistakes and impress customers. Your customers are more likely to come back and utilize your services/products and more likely to tell others about your company.
2.Your employees notice and feel valued: Investing in your employees’ training demonstrates your interest in their professional development or skill enhancement. Employees realize you are investing in them and they reciprocate with loyalty. 3. Incorporate new technologies: Keeping up to date with technology is a constant battle. Ensuring that your employees are current with technology will not only enable them to be more efficient and do their job better but also ensures that your company is at the forefront when it comes to the competition. 4. Increase in motivation and commitment: Training builds a motivated and committed team. Job satisfaction and morale among employees increases and it also creates a pool of qualified replacements for employees who do leave.
5. Enhance your company image: Ongoing training helps to create the reputation of a great place to work at and results in less absenteeism and a longer list of job applicants who want to join the organization. Training Funds for Small Businesses are available through the Targeted Skills Shortage Program. www.tsspbc.com Kat Starosta Workplace Training Strategist - Training Innovations Inc.

Safe Harbour Safe Harbour offers opportunities for businesses, institutions, agencies and municipalities to proactively create welcoming and inclusive workplaces and communities. Having a Safe Harbour designation means you are publicly demonstrating your organization’s commitment to respectful treatment for all customers, clients and staff and a welcoming environment for diversity. What is your favourite thing about what you do? My favourite thing about what I do is making a business case for diversity inclusion. In Safe Harbour there are eight respect dimensions of inclusion: Respect for all: Abilities, Ages, Cultures/ Ethnicities, Sexual Orientations, Faiths/ Religions, Socioeconomic Backgrounds, Genders, and Appearances. Tell us about your proudest moment? My proudest moment was when I created the Coquitlam Crunch Challenge (Saturday, Sept. 8, www. coquitlamcrunch.com), a community fundraising event. It’s about embracing diversity that would help to market the Safe Harbour program while at the same time raising money for a fund with the Coquitlam Foundation. The fund’s purpose is to provide grants to Tri-Cities’ individuals, non-profit organizations or community groups to initiate programs or education aimed at improving
integration, participation or access in the community for any diversity group(s) identified as being marginalized. I believe together we can build a compassionate, diverse and inclusive community. What is the best kept secret about your services? The Safe Harbour Program is totally free for any business or agency wanting to become a member and get free diversity training for staff or management. You need to allow for two hours of training and sign on to the three Safe Harbour commitments. Equitable Treatment for All: welcoming all clients and/or customers in a respectful manner. If a concern is expressed regarding a lack of respectful treatment, employers and staff take steps to address it. An Immediate Safe Place: for someone experiencing discrimination in or near the worksite which may include a place to sit, a glass of water, a phone to use and access to a list of resources. Prepared Employees and Worksites: preparing all staff to implement these commitments. Alex Bell Safe Harbour 604-512-5893 alex_bell@rogers.com
