together and show off some of the beauty of New Westminster. “I think New West is ready for cool stuff,” says Neal, 32, who’s lived here five years. “With SkyTrain, it’s so easy to get to Vancouver to do things, but lots of people like to stay in town to do something.” The Michaels crafted a proposal for the ONE Prize program, an initiative by the River Market and Donald’s to create community and nurture local, independent businesses. Of 30 submissions, the Michaels’ idea for pop-up pot luck meals received the second
most number of votes from ONE members, earning them $1,000 to put their plan into action. They used the money to create promotional materials and purchase a couple of Molo soft block tables that fan out from the size of a thick binder to create a honeycombed low table that can seat up to 30. They scouted potential locations that would show off the city. “New West is a beautiful city,” says Neal. “We want to bring attention to different spots in New West.”

James Crosty’s stroll down Sixth Street Tuesday afternoon with a tall stack of forms had a pied piper spirit to it. However, the parade came up a couple of thousand followers short of what was needed. The unofficial preliminary count of forms submitted to city hall calling for a referendum on council’s authorization to borrow up to $59 million turned out to be 2,098. That was less than half of the 4,528 required by Tuesday’s deadline for the “alternative approval process” to be successful. As he left his office, Crosty, a former candidate for mayor, was accompanied by several supporters of his campaign to force the city to hold a referendum on its decision to borrow money ostensibly to fund construction of an office tower above the new Downtown civic centre.

provincial legislation. Wright said he has had many people come up to him recently to voice support for council’s position. The mayor also said he occasionally talked to people submitting their forms at City Hall and when he explained what council was doing they were OK with it. “The bottom line is we’re pleased with what’s going on and we’re trying to get a job done here,” said Wright. The mayor maintained he has not definitively said he would not run in the next civic election.

Then they hit the social media, Facebook and Twitter, to build an email list of invitees. Their first PopLuck event was a dinner held on a Friday night on the pedestrian overpass linking Hyack Square to the Quay. Of the 70 invitations sent by email, about 20 guests showed up. Some were friends who’d known about their event through the ONE program. Most were strangers. To the Michaels and to each other. “Food is the perfect icebreaker,” says Melinda. “Everyone got comfortable with each other pretty quickly.” The food they brought ranged from sliders to tuna tartare to salted cod cakes to cupcakes with icing made of Guinness beer. There was more than enough to go around. As plates were passed, conversation flowed. Music wafted up from the Friday night dance program at Hyack Square. Passersby did a double take, curious about the impromptu dinner party on a bridge over railroad tracks. Some left their email addresses. “It appeals to that kid in you where you’re doing something unconventional,” says Neal. By the end of the evening, they knew they’d tapped into a new zeitgeist for New West. “We met a lot of people who are really interested in the community,” says Melinda. “We like New West and we want it to be even better. There’s an energy here.” To find out more about the PopLuck New West events, go to their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PopLuckNW. To learn about upcoming events, join their emailing list at poplucknewwest@ gmail.com In addition to Sunday’s brunch at a still to be announced location, the Michaels are hoping to host at least two more outdoor events this summer.

As he sauntered down the sidewalk with his forms, others joined his journey to City Hall. Even more discussed the issue with him while the 15 bundles he brought, about 1,500 forms in total, were stamped by legislative services employee Jennifer Janzen, and more again out in the parking lot afterward mere minutes before the deadline. It was a scene, he said, similar to what he experienced during the long weekend as the deadline approached. “We weren’t under any illusion it was going to be an easy task,” said Crosty on Wednesday. “I’m not disappointed. We made the issue something people wanted to engage in … It was a good shot. I’m proud of the people that went out of the way to go to door-to-door and collect the signatures.”

One off the top It’s mandatory to wear a bike helmet when you ride in B.C., but not in many parts of the world. People in such enlightened countries as Denmark and the Netherlands are not forced to don a nutshell, and yet here we fear the alternative. It makes sense: Who wouldn’t suddenly see the wisdom of some cushion when they’re flung over the bars? The issue arose recently with Vancouver’s decision to launch a bikeshare program next spring. The plan is to make 1,500 bikes available at about 125 stations in the downtown and the Broadway corridor between Main and Arbutus streets. The program will make it easier to leave the car at home. But promoting bike use is about removing barriers, and a bike helmet is a significant one. The City of Vancouver says it won’t ask Victoria for an exemption from the mandatory helmet law, and that may hinder its success. Only three bikeshare systems among the 300 or so worldwide have such a law. The two in Australia— Melbourne and Brisbane, where there is a helmet law—have failed miserably. On the road to encouraging more people to use bicycles to get around, it’s worth considering repealing the mandatory helmet law. At very least, an exemption for adults should be considered. Many will still wear their helmets. In Portland, where there is no helmet law, 80 per cent still do. And in B.C., despite the law requiring helmets, seven of the nine people killed on bikes in 2010 weren’t wearing one. In the end, the best route to a safer ride for cyclists is to have more bike paths and more people out on the street riding. The more bikes out there, the more it’s part of the landscape, and the more people in other vehicles are watching out.

Someone needs a holiday here Sometimes it seems like the whole world is on vacation. Don’t know about you, but I’m here in this box, at this terminal (double entendre?), the second week of August doing the same thing I was doing the first week of January. Don’t get me wrong (Hi Boss!), I love the job. Just feeling a bit cranky, and I kind of despise teenagers right about now. They’re easy to spot, all sunbleached hair and nut brown in tank tops and flip flops. Struggling with huge decisions like do I go to the beach or the mall? Or flake out at the park? What a drag. Then there are the teachers. Easy to spot—the ones feeling a little blue right about now because, you know, it’s August already? Just three or four weeks left of summer? A friend teaches college. We’re talking four months. Does hate the sin, love the sinner apply here? I’m going to stop myself now, because this pity party is not
Chris Bryan making me feel any better. On days like this, it seems the world is one big beach and all I see is a chained-link fence. The park across the street from my office is crazy with lawn chairs and bocce tournaments. My neighbours are packing up their SUVs for the Island, and for Okanagan sun. Right. The bright side… The drive into work is kind of nice. There’s no one on the road. And wow! There are parking spots galore once I get to work! Maybe those pleasures outweigh the aggravations of being on holiday. Those beaches can get busy. And don’t forget how hot it can be out in the sunshine between dips in the ocean.

Sunscreen is expensive! And drinking a beer or two out on the deck in the afternoon every day can put a few pounds on that waist line. Perhaps perspective is needed. Is anyone out there? Maybe I’m not the only one, sitting here, by myself, while all of you, you know… My brother lives in Denmark, and his Facebook page is full of updates from Mallorca, the cabin and great dinners with friends under the northern sky. In Scandinavia you don’t say you’re going on vacation. You tell folks when you’re going back to work. “Really?” “Yeah. Just for a couple weeks, then I’m off for another five.” “Oh.” Somewhere in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm there must be hidden factories where replicants do all the work. I was pleased to hear Stephen Harper is using Europe’s economic troubles as an opportunity to teach all those Continental layabouts a lesson,

and perhaps nudge them into reconsidering their awful socialist tendencies. Harper told them they’re on their own. There’d be no cash from us—Europe is rich. Instead of taking our money, they need to raise the retirement age like us, dammit, and stop having so much fun! Perhaps we’re all headed the way of Asia. Instead of mandatory vacations of four and five weeks (and more) like one finds in Europe, we will be more like Taiwan, where you get seven days, or Thailand’s six calendar days, or even China, where you get five. After 10 years it goes up to 10. Considering all that, maybe it’s time for me to shut my trap a little and count my blessings. And keep marking Xs on that calendar until the break arrives.

Let New Westminster come into the light Recently there has been a lot of coverage in the local papers about the city’s plan to borrow money for the completion of the civic centre and office tower building Downtown. Most articles mention that if you are in favour of the city’s plan, then the approval process does not require you to take any action. However, I have decided to take action by writing this letter to show that there is support for this plan. One of the arguments that has been raised against continuing to develop the office tower is that there is vacant office space currently available in the city—some of it Class A. I do not know what makes office space Class A, but the proposed tower is not equivalent to office space in other locations such as Royal City Centre mall. I work in the technology industry. Image is important for companies
in the technology industry and in many other industries. These companies need to appear successful and forward-looking in order to attract customers and employees. A trendy, new office building located above a civic centre, in a revitalized Downtown core on the BC Greenway, and with nearby SkyTrain access would enable companies to showcase their progressive nature and community focus to clients and employees. This office tower will attract companies that might not otherwise consider New Westminster as a location for their business to our city. The key reason to continue with this project is that it is an important step towards creating a vibrant Downtown core in our city. Many younger couples like myself and my husband have recently
moved to New Westminster because it is affordable, central and evolving. Downtown residents and businesses, along with city staff, city council and developers have put a lot of effort, energy and money into transforming a Downtown that was known throughout the Lower Mainland as a dangerous place best avoided, into a neighbourhood that is attracting new businesses and new residents including young families. Many like myself do not want to live in a bedroom community. We want to live in a lively community that honours its past and embraces the future. I support the city continuing to build the new civic centre and office tower because this building can play an integral role in shaping our Downtown into a place that is thriving, a place we can be proud of. That’s the vision that
drew me here. That’s the vision I believe in. That’s the vision we should support. I am the current president of the New Westminster Downtown Residents’ Association but the views in this letter are my own. Jocelyn Smith New Westminster
BRING ON THE LOAN Regarding the loan of $59 million which the City of New Westminster is proposing to undertake to finance the building of a tower on top of the new civic center; I say bring it on. Lovely period architecture aside, the Downtown area has been an eyesore and a dead zone for over 20 years and it’s finally being kick started back into existence. Finally. Transportation routes are being redeveloped. We
have ample rapid transit into New Westminster and through New West onto other areas. There is a new truck route being developed on the other side of the Fraser to help funnel the noise and din we must still endure from heavy rigs and container trucks. And, let’s face it, the train yard is not going away anytime soon. Thank God. I read Letters to the Editor about what a boondoggle this new office tower is going to be. The fact James Crosty has started a formidable campaign to garner enough votes to stop the funding for the project causes me to shake my head. What a waste of time and energy. Surely he might have something better to do to champion development in this city. Our city desperately needs alternatives to being a truck route or light industrial zoned bedroom community.
The Downtown core is expanding exponentially. Residential towers are going in, retail and entertainment are arriving, and we need to provide environmentally responsible options to having our city developed. As well, there will be far more people trying to stay on the west side of the Fraser when the new, tolled Port Mann Bridge is completed. This tower is forecast to provide tax returns of $50 million over the next 50 years. Class A office towers which are LEED Gold designated are in short supply in the Lower Mainland and we should be honoured to welcome such a development to our city, regardless of the boondoggle Mr.Crosty and others are trying to spin in order to keep New Westminster in the Dark Ages.

Put health before profits With many of us worrying over recent medical reports about the cancer risks of diesel fumes, my riverside condo overlooking the antique Southern Railway of B.C. swing bridge to Queensborough gives me special cause for worry. At least a dozen times a day dual locomotives roar over the bridge, emitting clouds of pollution. Loss of sleep when the trains operate during the night is also a health risk. Any chance that human life should be considered as well as railway profits?

Former city councillor and current Voice New Westminster school trustee Casey Cook’s latest comments regarding the relocation of Development Assistance Compensation (DAC) casino monies, and delaying earmarked projects, is almost laughable were it not so hypocritical. How does Cook, after voting against the destination casino in 1998, and the over $100 million in tourist-related infrastructure monies that came with it, now go on to complain that some of the projects funded by this money are being modified or delayed? It was the Glen Clark NDP that offered a limited number of special Destination Casino licences at the time, and only New Westminster applied. The BC Liberals were in opposition at the time and Gordon Campbell paralleled Cook’s evangelical rants against the evils of gaming and rallied the community of New Westminster to vigorously oppose this project. (Once in government the Liberals have increased gaming by over 250 per cent) The other two New
Westminster councillors who voted against this unprecedented windfall of revenue both went on to join Voice New Westminster for a period of time. It’s not much of a stretch to imagine what would have happened if this opposition had just one more deciding vote on council at that time. The city’s collaborations with the school projects, the building of parks, trail networks, and Queensborough Community Centre expansion are just some of the projects that would not have been possible if not for this 100 per cent casino-funded revenue we have received. This amazing city that’s being praised in newspapers and business periodicals across Canada would not be where it is today had the majority of previous councils not steered it there. Now that Cook joins the fray on the DAC projects debate, he needs to do some soul searching on the morals of gaming, or will he, as Gordon Campbell did, double down for the sake of political gain. Chuck Puchmayr City Councillor New Westminster
PUT ON THE BRAKES Regardless of the outcome in the petition campaign to force the city to put the $59 million loan to a referendum, city council should suspend construction of the office building. The issue is not simply about a referendum or its process. It is about the actions of council which the public does not approve of, because of the risk and the deception involved. How can a referendum be considered legal when it gives no financial information such as the cash flow projection and all the cost and income projections to the voters. Telling us that “we are going to makes lots of money” is worthless. It is as useless as all the recent projects which have been overpriced and over budget. Why should we believe a council which built a mini-park for $25 million, plus cost overrun and without a proper access requiring another $1 million-plus to provide a reasonable access? Suspending construction now will incur some extra costs. It will, however, provide time for potential purchasers to be brought on board to assume the risk. Ed Linstead

Bacon to be tried separately Mobile Spa Services The spa that in Surrey Six case comes to you! Enjoy a relaxing spa experience where ever you are.
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The trial of the Surrey Six case has been split into two, with Jamie Bacon being tried separately. Two separate indictments were filed in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday, allowing Bacon to be tried separately from Cody Rae Haevischer, Matthew James Johnston and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le. All of them face charges in connection with the deaths of six people at the Balmoral Tower in Whalley on Oct. 19, 2007. Police believe four of the victims in the Surrey Six case were gang-related. Two others, 22-yearold Christopher Mohan, a neighbour, and 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg, who was repairing the fireplace, were innocent bystanders. “Separate trials will enable Mr. Bacon to bring applications in relation to issues involving only Mr. Bacon, including issues like solicitor client privilege, that were raised before the Honourable Mr. Justice McEwan in Mr. Bacon’s civil (habeas corpus) proceeding,” B.C. Criminal Justice Branch spokesman Neil MacKenzie said. Proceeding in this way, he said, will allow the trial of the other three accused to proceed without being affected by issues which only involve Bacon. MacKenzie said he could not elaborate on the case as it’s before the courts. The indictment against Bacon lists two counts including first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder of Corey Lal. The indictment against the others alleges they committed the murder of Lal, while Haevischer and Johnston murdered Ryan Bartolomeo, Michael Lal, Edward Narong, Schellenberg and Mohan. Both indictments also list convicted killers Dennis Karbovanec and Anton HooitesMeursing as co-conspirators. In 2009, Karbovanec pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and one count of conspiracy. He is currently serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years.

The third annual Royal City Pride Society’s Pride Week is not just about the city’s “queer” community taking pride in itself but also in New Westminster, says the organization’s president. The festival runs next Thursday (Aug. 16) until Aug. 19 at various locations. “We have more people coming on board to volunteer, more businesses in the community are getting involved with us, the City of New Westminster has been really supportive, the community as a whole in New Westminster has been just tremendous,” said Shelly Reinhart. “Our mandate is to support the queer community, but also a much larger community base. Our people are moving out into New Westminster from Vancouver and elsewhere in the Lower Mainland. We are a visible group now. We have a lot of new businesses in New Westminster, but we’re trying to support not just queer businesses.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO OUR ANNUAL
“We’re really creating relationships and partnering up with a lot of groups which is fun for us.” Reinhart said the society wants to grow with the city with all the changes that are happening in it. They want residents to see that just like them they are a family group of people living in the community with kids and dogs. She grew up in Coquitlam but has loved living here ever since moving to New West four years ago. “Watching it grow in the last four years has made me extremely happy to be involved with the building of our community and the community as a whole. It’s meant me finding a home, and being at home with an entire group of people,” said Reinhart. She wouldn’t be surprised to see attendance at this year’s festival double to more than 4,000. The festivities begin with a laugh—lots of laughs actually—on Thursday. Like last year, the Laff Riot Girls will open the festival
performing at the Columbia Theatre on Thursday starting at 8 p.m. Lesismore and the Stonewall Party will appear the next night, Aug. 17, starting at 7 p.m., at the Heritage Grill. The big day is Saturday when the society will hold its Pre-Pride Brunch at the Coming Home Cafe from 9 a.m. to noon followed by Hills and Heels. It’s a fundraiser for New Westminster’s Lookout Emergency Aid Society which will start from the Urban Gypsy, 614 Columbia St., at noon before going up Sixth Street to city hall for the Pride Proclamation. The Pride Festival in the Park will run from 1 to 5 p.m. in Tipperary Park. The Pride Dance starts at 7 p.m., at the Heritage Grill. The festival, which will raise funds to benefit New Westminster’s Lookout Emergency Aid Society, will conclude on Sunday with a brunch at The Boathouse, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For ticket information and more go to www. royalcitypridesociety.com.

Suspect arrested in iPad robbery Transit Police have arrested a second suspect in the robbery of an iPad last May from a wheelchair-bound deaf woman with cerebral palsy. The robbery happened May 10 at the Metrotown SkyTrain station as the victim, Cassie Campbell, tried to get onto an elevator. Media attention helped police track down the first suspect, 31-year-old John Eugene Lagimodiere, who was charged May 16. The second suspect, a New Westminster man, was arrested Wednesday, July 25. Police are recommending a formal charge of robbery to provincial Crown counsel. After media reports of the case, a Good Samaritan bought Campbell a new iPad, which is one of her main methods of communication.

Can you bake a mean pie?
Pennies sought for Douglas College bursaries
NewsLeader editor Chris Bryan is licking his lips at the opportunity to be one of three judges for the Royal City Farmers Market’s inaugural pie bake-off on Aug. 16. Bakers can register in advance through the organization’s website or in person at the information booth at the Thursday afternoon markets in Tipperary Park. For food safety reasons, an ingredient list must be supplied but will be kept confidential until after the bake-off. There is no limit to the number of pies that can be entered. There is a minimum $2 donation for each pie entered that goes to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Blind tasting will take place from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m. with the judging being done
Penny drives are popular for elementary schools. Douglas College is counting on one to help an institution of advanced education like itself. With the penny on the way out of circulation in Canada, the college has teamed up with Coast Capital Savings on a penny drive to raise money for student aid. The “cent-sible” campaign will have collection sites at Douglas’s New Westminster and Coquitlam campuses as well as the Queensborough branch in New West and at Edmonds and Kingsway in Burnaby. “People are bringing in pennies in jam jars and yogurt containers and some people are including nickels, dimes and quarters as well,” said Douglas College Foundation

Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review. The others are “worldleading” oil spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along pipeline routes, and a “fair share” of oil revenues for B.C.

The federal government is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said. Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed. “I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said. “I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.” Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private. It’s his first public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues. “I’m not going to get into an

BCGEU offer withdrawn By Tom Fletcher Black Press
After targeting provincial ministry offices with their second one-day strike, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union says the provincial government has followed through on its threat to withdraw its offered wage increase. BCGEU negotiators had rejected a raise of two per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year when it was presented in late June. Citing a two-year wage freeze leading up to this year’s negotiations, the union wants 3.5 this year and a raise
equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013. The latest one-day strike created a four-day long weekend for 180 employees in provincial ministry offices Tuesday. BCGEU members refused to work at three forest ministry offices, with 40 staff in Surrey, 50 in Campbell River and 60 combined at transportation and forest ministry offices in 100 Mile House. Another 30 union members in agriculture, health, environment and labour ministry jobs in Kelowna struck for the day. Union officials have not indicated when their next strike
action will be. The first was July 3 at liquor distribution warehouses in Kamloops, Vancouver and Victoria. After the first walkout, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the wage offer could be withdrawn if strikes continued. “We hope we don’t have to repeat job action going forward,” BCGEU president Darryl Walker wrote on his blog Wednesday. “But that’s the likelihood if the government doesn’t make us a fair and reasonable offer soon. We are prepared to take job action to the next level if we have to.” newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Vancouver works with developers to create Downtown South
Revitalizing the Granville Loops The City of Vancouver has been working with developers such as Cressey Development to re-imagine the area around the Granville Street onramps into a thriving neighbourhood they call Downtown South. With plans for new roadways, biking and walking access to the Stanley Park SeaWall and False Creek waterfront and plenty of commercial space, the community will be the perfect place to purchase a home. “It’s all that Downtown South has to offer,” says Cressey Development Manager David Evans. “There’s entertainment, shopping, the beach, the Seawall ... It provides access to all the amenities.”
Cressey is proud to be a part of the area with Maddox, a 32-storey condominium tower located on Howe and Drake streets. The pedestrian-friendly aspect of the community is particularly important, Evans says. “One of its biggest strengths is access,” he says. With Granville Island, Yaletown and Robson Street within easy reach, buyers who purchase in the area will find everything they could possibly imagine close by. Future projects include a grocery store, the opportunity for vendors such as food carts and sidewalk extensions for outdoor cafes and restaurant patios.
evening at home, no matter what the weather is doing outside. The 10-foot ceilings in some homes add to the considerable sense of space that is inherent in the living areas, which offer plenty of room for entertaining. Lakewood prides itself on quality workmanship and attention to detail, and this is certainly apparent at One92.
There will be 69 homes in the project, ranging from 474 to 1,283 square feet. “There’s something for everybody,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “The response has been fantastic.” With features like nine or 10-foot ceilings (depending on where in the building your home is), a spacious walk-in shower in the ensuite and lush landscaping outside, Salix is a truly beautiful development. Many of the homes have views of Mount Baker or the surrounding Clayton Heights area. Building on the popularity of Woodbridge’s Willow Grand development, “we were able to listen to purchasers’ needs and wants,” says Carlsen. “It genuinely makes me excited that we covered a lot of the bases that purchasers were looking for.”
‘Something for everybody’
No trouble finding a home in Clayton Heights by Kerry Vital
Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing community on the border of Surrey and Langley. Due to its proximity to both cities as well as Cloverdale, it is perfectly situated to take advantage of every amenity that the Lower Mainland has to offer. Less than an hour from the Vancouver International Airport and less than half an hour from the U.S. border, Clayton Heights offers education, recreation, shopping and dining all within a few minutes. Woodbridge Homes’ La Rue La Rue is an intimate community of 49 two- to four-bedroom townhomes. With beautiful details like nine-foot ceilings on the main floor and stainlesssteel appliances, there is much to love at La Rue. With its tagline of “the street you want to live on”, La Rue is proving very popular with people of all demographics. “La Rue offers so many things,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “I love this product.” The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with ceramic tile backsplashes and stone countertops that are perfectly complemented by the chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and entrances. Conveniently located close to several
schools, parks and recreation, Castro says that La Rue is great for young families. “Clayton offers so many things for families,” she says, adding “these are a different style of home. You’re close to everything, but you’re also quiet and away from all the busy-ness.” Lakewood’s One92 Lakewood has brought a collection of carriage homes, condominiums and townhomes to Clayton Heights, in a variety of floorplans. With 72 homes in the project, oversized windows, sleek laminate flooring and amazing open-plan kitchens are just some of the amazing features. A designer tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting and contemporary shaker-style cabinetry and gorgeous quartz countertops. A special feature of the homes is the electric fireplace with mood-adjustable accent lighting. It is perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a romantic
Woodbridge Homes’ Salix Woodbridge continues with its mastery of the Clayton Heights area with Salix, a collection of one-, twoand three-bedroom condominiums. The open-plan layouts and three interior schemes (Craftsman Traditional, Casual Contemporary and Modern Chic) available at Salix make for a truly stunning mix of residences.
“
Clayton offers so many things for families,” says La Rue sales manager Andrea Castro.
