Staff burnout, chronic underfunding and parents making up the difference in spending cuts with fundraising are some of the concerns of District Parent Advisory Council chair Heidi Hass Gable has about plans to cut $12.1 million from School District 43’s budget next year. The cuts to next year’s operating budget are necessary to bring spending in line with provincial operating grants of about $245 million plus about $21 million in other revenue; SD43 proposes to cut 142 positions, including teachers, custodians, managers, clerks and people who work with special needs students. But several groups op-

FRIDAY’S NEWS: PORT MOODY-COQUITLAM PROFILE
[ you saw it first on the web
NDP www.tricitynews.com
Selina Robinson: Poverty, jobs and the economy are her key issues Selina Robinson has been sitting in a Coquitlam city council chair for the past five years but is hoping to win a seat inVictoria come May 14. A family therapist, Robinson was elected as a Coquitlam councillor in 2008 and again in 2011, and the NDP candidate says Coquitlam-Maillardville residents are telling her they’re looking for something new in government. “People are really looking for change... change for the better,”she said, echoing her party’s election slogan.“They’re concerned about the education system and making sure teachers are properly supported, and that children have the supports they need to be the best they can be. “And I’m hearing that particularly with what is happening in this school district,”Robinson said, referring to School District 43’s struggle to manage its $13-million deficit for 2013. She sees it in her own family as well, with children who will be graduating from post-secondary education with “huge student loans,”and is concerned for young people throughout B.C., who may not be able to access further education and training because of the high cost. “The NDP are recognizing that,”Robinson said, noting her party’s plans to restore the capital tax on banks to 2008 levels will “create a fund to help those young people... so they can get the education they need
PROFILES By Sarah Payne
ROBINSON and fill those jobs.” Despite her two successful bids for a council seat, Robinson said she never planned to get into politics. Issues such as poverty propelled her to run provincially. “We still have food banks... and I think that is not OK,”she said.“Things like how we care for each other, so that everyone has access to participate in the economy. “I couldn’t act on those things at the municipal level so when [MLA] Diane [Thorne] said she was retiring, a window opened.” Should she win in the May 14 election, Robinson has four top priorities once she gets toVictoria. One is working towards a prosperous, diversified economy that supports B.C.’s resource sectors but also invests in workers by getting people trained for jobs today and in the future, and finding new ways to help skilled immigrants transfer their credentials. The second is developing a workable poverty-
reduction strategy through measures such as affordable housing. A third issue is protecting the environment, particularly when it comes to transit. “We know transit is critical to getting people out of their cars and we need an appropriate funding model for TransLink — it’s not working the way it’s set up. We need to extend the carbon tax and also take some of that and pump it into transit.” Robinson also voiced support for saying no to the Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines, saying, “British Columbians have said clearly they don’t support development of the Enbridge line and Greater Vancouver is not comfortable with being a major oil port.” Creating a made-in-B.C. environmental assessment process, instead of abdicating it to the federal government, would be a priority for Robinson, as would continuing to fight for a ban on cosmetic pesticides, a cause she championed at the city council level. And while few would characterize the NDP as fiscally conservative, Robinson said the party’s plans for a“modest tax increase”will affect only a small number of people earning more than $150,000. “There will be no tax increase for small business and that’s really important because it’s small business that sustains us,”she said.
HISTORY
The provincial electoral riding of CoquitlamMaillardville (population: 55,575) has long been and NDP stronghold — except for the term following the NDP wipeout in the 2001 provincial election — and was most recently held but MLA Diane Thorne, who represented the area for two terms after defeating then-Liberal MLA Richard Stewart in 2005. Thorne, who recently retired, won the 2009 election with 9,818 votes (nearly 48%) but was closely followed by the Liberal candidate, Dennis Marsden, who took 9,150 votes (almost 45%). The Greens’ Stephen Reid trailed with 1,040 votes (5%), followed by Independent Doug Stead with 481 votes (2%). A total of 20,484 votes were cast in 2009, just over 55% of the eligible voters. Before Thorne and Stewart, the riding was held for a number of years by NDP MLA John Cashore.
WHO CAN VOTE?
You can vote if you are: • a Canadian citizen; • 18 years old or more; • a resident of B.C. (for at least six months); • a registered voter (you can also register when you vote).
NO GREEN
Ed Stanbrough, the Green candidate in CoquitlamMaillardville, did not respond to phone messages and emails from The Tri-City News.
BC LIBERALS
Steve Kim: Strong economy and transportation crucial for region Steve Kim is new to politics but, as a small business owner, he’s finding the hard work of campaigning and knocking on doors somewhat familiar terrain. “It’s very demanding but at the same time I’m really enjoying it, with the energy and ability to meet so many people,” said the BC Liberal candidate in the CoquitlamMaillardville riding. “I get to be outside, and I’m even losing some weight,”Kim joked. He’s also getting a chance to engage with voters and, with a surprising number not planning to vote at all, Kim said he has been talking to them about the importance of getting to the polls come election day on May 14. When they do, Kim is hoping they’ll support him as their representative in Victoria, noting that what he lacks in political experience he makes up for in his career and community service. Ten years ago, he helped co-found the Korean Canadian Coactive (C3) Society, a non-profit organization that serves as a bridge between the Korean community and the rest of the Tri-Cities, Lower Mainland and B.C. Kim has chaired the organization since 2006 (he stepped down at the start of his campaign, however, noting C3 is a non-partisan group) and has helped develop leadership programs for students
KIM and young professionals, an annual children’s camp in Belcarra Regional Park and the annual Korean Heritage Days in Coquitlam. Kim is also the president of Boilingpoint Group, a marketing and communications firm (he has also temporarily stepped away from his role as president of the BC chapter of the American Marketing Association) but said he was willing to take a break from running his business because he believes in helping to create a smaller government with a free enterprise platform. “I couldn’t wait another four years,”he said. “Something compelled me to throw my hat in the ring. A lot of it had do with being a small business person, and my parents are small business people, and I thought of how they came to sacrifice for their children... and I decided this was the time for me to run.”
Kim said he only has to look to his own family to see a microcosm of the concerns felt throughout B.C. “My parents are getting older. I look at my nephews and my niece, they’re getting older, and a lot of the decisions we make now will impact them for some time.” The economy is forefront among the issues Kim sees as driving this election because “a strong economy can create more jobs, more high-paying jobs,” and not only makes life more affordable for individuals and families but also generates muchneeded resources for education and health care. Additions to local infrastructure, particularly the Port Mann/Highway 1 improvements and the Evergreen Line, Kim adds, will help position Coquitlam as a hub of the Lower Mainland. “The environment is also very important to me, especially in Coquitlam, where there is so much green space,” Kim said, finishing his list with the importance of multiculturalism and its role in developing strong communities. “I’ve spent my career on building and empowering people and creating inclusive environments,”Kim said.“At the end of the day, we have to hear all voices to make a better decision. “Being a new candidate allows me to bring a new perspective.”

Missing teen may be camping, Mounties say De La Giraudais has camped before, says SAR By Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy NewS
The search continues for a missing Tri-City teenager who police believe could be camping out in the wilderness after getting into an argument at home last week. Dwight Yochim, a search manager with Coquitlam Search and Rescue, said the types of items 16-yearold Dominic De La Giraudais took with him indicate he was preparing for an extended stay in the bush. “He had a book about outdoor survival and a few knick-knacks,” he said. “He has kind of run off before and camped.” There was no sign of
DOMINIC DE LA GIRAUDAIS him when search crews combed the length of the Coquitlam River and the forested areas north of the municipality. A bag with several of the teen’s possessions was found close to the family’s home and searchers believe he may have intended to return and recover the stashed items. He added that there is a possibility De La Giraudais could also be
Two Tri-City men were arrested last week after police allegedly caught them in the middle of a robbery attempt. The two had gone to a corner store in the 3300-block of Coast Meridian Road, just north of Prairie Avenue, late at night on April 25. One of them reportedly had a mask on and brandished a handgun inside the store while the other waited outside in a vehicle. The two suspects were arrested as they tried to flee the scene. Cpl. Jamie Chung said robbery investigators are working with neighbouring police agencies to see if any similar incidents are linked. Stephen Burleigh, a 47-year-old Coquitlam resident, is facing charges of robbery, using an imitation firearm, carrying a weapon and disguising his face with intent to commit an indictable offence. He remains in custody until his next court appearance on May 13. Matthew MacFarlane, a 23-year-old Port Moody resident, is charged with robbery and was released on bail.

Dig it: new garden By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A strip of land in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park will be dug up next month to make way for green thumbs. This week, the city announced it had been picked by FortisBC to be a recipient of its Community Day of Giving, meaning the energy company will spend $30,000 and its employees will volunteer to build an organic garden north of the Inspiration Garden at Pipeline Road and Guildford Way. As well, a portion of the pesticide-free produce grown there will be handed over to Share Family and Community Services’ food bank, said Lori MacKay, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services. Each year, FortisBC chooses three municipalities in which to create a public amenity; in 2012, the company built a BMX track in Abbotsford and playgrounds in Victoria and Prince George. About 150 FortisBC employees and their families are expected in Coquitlam on June 15 to volunteer for the local community garden. Once it’s open, interested gardeners can apply

On Sunday, Shifting Growth opened a community garden for Burke Mountain residents. The 60 portable plots will be moved when the land is needed for a park and/or school. to the city for one of the 40 plots, each measuring three by six feet, of which about a dozen will be located inside the “hoop house.” Members will be charged between $30 and $50 a year per plot to help offset maintenance costs. “We expect interest to be very high,” MacKay told the city’s council-incommittee on Monday. Still, some councillors bristled when MacKay said membership will be on a first-come, first-serve basis — and not limited to Coquitlam residents. Coun. Brent Asmundson said the surrounding area is full of highrises and space to grow fresh food is scarce; his comments were echoed by councillors Mae Reid and Lou Sekora, a City Centre resident.

donation came a day after a community garden opened on Burke Mountain designed exclusively for the use of residents living on the mountainside. On Sunday, the nonprofit group Shifting G row t h o p e n e d 6 0 plots on land owned by Wesbild, at the west end of Princeton Avenue at Collins Road; that community garden is temporary, however, as the property is designated in city plans to be a future school and/or park site. Jennifer Derbyshire, Wesbild’s marketing and community relations director, said the Burke plots will cost members $30 a year and, like the Town Centre Park garden, part of produce will be donated to the Share food bank.

What our patients say...
Ankle and Foot “Laser treatment for my foot and ankle injury (ligaments & tendons) was a success after 3 years of trying other treatments which failed.” EA (85) Headache & Neck Pain “Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain. I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain - it is truly a miracle.” Patsy Bernstein (58) Arthritis Both Knees “I have been suffering from knee pain for several years. I tried a number of other treatments to no avail. I am more than pleased with the results of laser light as my pain has reduced significantly.” William Jack (63) Shoulder Pain “I had frozen shoulder that limited my mobility. After 9 treatments of laser therapy my shoulder has gained back almost all mobility. There is no pain or discomfort with the treatments.” J.L. (48) Neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69) Plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel.

SD43 DEFICIT: Groups weigh in on SD43 budget plans
French group says non to cuts By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
A group promoting French language programs in School District 43 says the elimination of a co-ordinator and teaching positions will cut the heart out of French language instruction that has a long history in the region. Heidi Le Faive, president of the 6 9 0 - m e m b e r Tr i Cities branch of the Canadian Parents for French, says planned cuts will affect both French immersion students, who make up almost 10% of SD43 enrolment, as well hundreds of other students in core French programs throughout the district. “We’re growing every year,” Le Faive said. “How can you justify cutting from a program that’s growing, because the demand is there?” She said the French co-ordinator supervised cultural programs, including the expenditure of $360,000 in federal cultural funds, and organized professional development for French language teachers to ensure equity and access to programs across the district. The loss of the coordinator position, as well as the trickledown effect of teaching cuts, could jeopardize the program that has attracted students to the district, Le Faive said, and she’s worried Frenchspeaking parents will leave the district to attend the francophone school district that is building a new school in Port Coquitlam and opening up new classes in Coquitlam. “If you lose the students to a different school board, all the funding goes with them,”Le Faive said. The group has posted a link to an online petition on its website (cpf.bc.ca/ tricities) and was expected to make its case to the board of education Tuesday night, after The TriCity News’ print deadline. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Cuts will affect kids’ present and future students with developmental disabilities affected

“When school ends, they are at risk of dependence on costly, formal support services that for the majority will be simply unavailable.”
By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
An advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families says students’ education will be shortchanged and their future prospects limited if School District 43 eliminates the position of director of student services and cuts teaching and support staff to get rid of its $12.1-million deficit next year. “We are concerned that the proposed reductions to teaching and support staff will make it extremely difficult for the board to fulfill its obligation to provide appropriate educational programs to all children,” stated Rachel le Noble in a presentation she planned to give at Tuesday’s SD43 board of education meeting. A c c o rd i n g t o L e Noble, education for students with develop-
PUBLIC NOTICE WaTErmaIN FLUshINg The City will be flushing watermains in the areas shown on the map below beginning the week of March 18, 2013. Flushing may cause pressure fluctuations and some discoloration and sediment in the water reaching your home or business. Both of these conditions should be of short duration. If your water appears discolored, run a cold water tap until the water clears. Please direct inquires to the Engineering Operations Division at 604-927-5488.
Rachel le Noble mental delays and disabilities has come a long way since they were shunted off to segregated schools. But many are still sequestered in separate programs and their dreams of participating fully at school and getting a job or attending post-secondary school when they graduate will go unfulfilled without meaningful learning opportunities. “When school ends, they are at risk of dependence on costly, formal support services that for the majority will be simply unavailable,” she said, noting those who are eligible for services will
face lengthy wait lists. “We must prepare our students so that when they finish high school, they have the skills they need to meet the entrance requirements for post-secondary programs, to enter the workforce, to have the confidence and independence to access community in the same way as their peers.” Le Noble called for more consultation and said she was ready to work “in whatever capacity I can to move us forward in ways that protect and prioritize the learning needs of all students.”

SD43 DEFICIT: Groups weigh in on SD43 budget plans
‘Something has to give, it has to’ continued from front page
In the meantime, DPAC’s Hass Gable is concerned that while some of the proposed cuts may not be felt imm e d i at e l y, o n g o i n g chronic shortfalls will take a toll in the long run. “Something has to give, it has to,” she said. “I have absolutely no doubt that teachers, SEAs [special education assistants] and everyone is going to be professional and working hard but people have limits. “It’s not sustainable to ask people to work 150% every day forever. People get sick, there’s stress,” Hass Gable said. In fact, some of the cuts proposed before last night’s meeting were the very things that parents said in a recent Thoughtstream survey that they valued most. For example, support for special needs students and quality teaching were identified as important in the DPAC survey but the district plans to reduce services for students and gut its staff development department, which provides education and support for teachers.
IN QUOTES
“It’s not sustainable to ask people to work 150% every day forever. People get sick, there’s stress.” Heidi Hass Gable, chair of DPAC “If you have one person who has an influence on 100 teachers, 100 teachers touch 2,000 to 3,000 kids’ lives, that ripple effect could be really felt,”she said. “When changes come down, [from the education ministry] who’s going to help them change their practices?” she asked.
DOWNLOADING
She’s also worried that downloading is making parents responsible for fundraising for books, computers and buses for field trips, which she says are necessary for learning. She said it’s not fair that some schools have more capacity for fund-
raising and some individuals are better at writing grant applications than others while some schools lag behind. “Parents are paying for essentials and the inequity that creates is just horrible,” Hass Gable said. Her concern about parents filling in the gaps in funding come as the district claws back $1 million in school-based funds used to pay for computer labs and special learning resources. Schools were told how much to give back from their allocation based on a sliding scale. Rochester elementary in Coquitlam, for example, stated in its parent advisory council meet-
We’ll give you that beautiful
! e l i m S
ing minutes that it had to give back $3,000 destined for computers and learning resources as part of its share. Principal Barb Gillies said the money hadn’t yet been earmarked but it will be missed. “What we did is we looked at how much we were expected to give back and we looked at accounts where it would have the least impact on students,”Gillies said. It’s the gradual erosion of programs seen as extras to pay for core services that eventually trickle down to schools
that has Hass Gable concerned about maintaining education standards not just for this year and next but for future years, as well. She would like to see parents, teachers, support workers and administrators work together to advocate for education funding that is sustainable and equitable over the long term. “I do believe we need to come together and make sure we’re taking care of each other because this will be a difficult time.”

Signs for walk in the park & construction QR codes used on signs at Mundy By Janis Warren The TRi-CiTy News
Two very different areas in Coquitlam — one a dedicated forest park, the other a new residential community where trees are being cut down — will soon have something in common: better signs to tell the public what they’re all about. To d a y, t h e c i t y launched 12 new interpretative signs along the trails at Mundy Park, a 435-acre space popular with joggers, dog walkers and nature lovers. But the signs won’t be available to everyone. Only those with smartphones will be able to read them by scanning the QR code and downloading the information for self-guided walks. At Monday’s councilin-committee meeting, Lanny Englund,
CITY OF COQUITLAM
Interpretive signs with QR codes will go up in Coquitlam’s Mundy Park today (Wednesday).
Coquitlam’s urban forestry and park services manager, said the Scan and Discover signs with the QR tags are a pilot project for the city that will cost $3,500. Meanwhile, on the other side of Coquitlam, city managers are calling for more signs on Burke Mountain to give residents, workers and visitors to the rapidly developing area a clearer un-
derstanding of the future roads, school sites and parks on the mountainside. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, said many people are unsure or confused about what’s about to happen on Burke, where 20,000 more residents are expected to settle in the next 20 years. And “we thought we could do a better job in giving people a headsup,” he said, noting the city has earmarked up to $15,000 for the additional Burke signage. The current plethora of Burke signs has been an eyesore, with many developers and builders wanting standards set in place, Coun. Brent Asmundson said. Coun. Mae Reid also said she would like to see a newsletter in property tax notices to give Burke homeowners a sense of what’s coming up for their neighbourhood. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Alleged Bacon conspirators’ arrest a ‘watershed’ moment continued from front page
The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its firstever Community Report. (The report can be read online at bc-anti-gang. com.) Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the aim is to make more people aware of the CFSEU and what it does. The initiative comes as the anti-gang force chalks up what it calls a major win: the arrest in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino. “Some people never thought that day would ever come,” Houghton said, “or that the police would ever take something like that seriously. That was one of the watershed moments in the history of Kelowna.” Houghton said the report pulls together a broader picture of the CFSEU’s work than

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit is releasing its first ever Community Report. people see in daily news media coverage. “It seems like every couple of weeks or month, we’ve got an interesting story to tell and this was one way for us to tell it,”he said. The report includes stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/Duhre crime group, which makes up one side of the ongoing bloody gang conflict in B.C. It also releases intrigu-
ing findings on who is most likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C. CFSEU researchers found the vast majority of gang-related murder victims over a four-year period had previous drug charges or convictions, and often violent criminal pasts. M o s t we r e g a n g members, not just associates or minor players in the drug trade, and a few were girlfriends or an innocent victim, like a Surrey man who was shot after picking up a Bacon brother vehicle to install a car stereo in it. B.C. gang-related killings peaked at 36 in 2009 before dropping to 18 last year. Victims are overwhelmingly men and their average age is 30, according to CFSEU stats. Three-quarters of bodies are found near the victims’ homes or vehicles. Most (85%) were shot but 8% were viciously beaten, 6% were stabbed

Heritage house on the move in PoMo By Sarah Payne THe Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody council approved a development variance permit for the Appleyard/Centennial House, paving the way for the heritage building’s next move from Kyle Street to an empty lot next to the arts centre on St. Johns Street. The heritage house, which was moved from Clarke Street (near the Moody Street overpass) to Kyle last summer to make way for the Evergreen Line, requires minor variances to the setback requirements at its new location. Once it’s moved, there will be an elevated walkway linking the PoMo Arts Centre building with the Appleyard/Centennial House. Coun. Rick Glumac asked that the matter also be referred to the city’s newly established advisory design panel to look over the plans, even though design-related issues will have to come back to council because of the building’s heritage. A federal grant matching city funding of up to $480,785 for the project requires the work be completed by the end of 2013. Other PoMo news:
MADE THE CUT
The city has awarded a three-year landscaping contract worth just over $440,000 to Alpine Landscaping. Eight responses to the city’s request for proposals for grass cutting and other services were received in March but three did not meet the requirements. Of the remaining five, Alpine had the lowest bid. Stratacomm Landscape, which has had the grass-cutting contract for the past eight years, was the next lowest bid at just under $486,000. The highest bid was almost $1.5 million.

F
uture development of the Ioco lands raises important issues for the region and it’s not just the loss of tax- and job-generating industrial lands that is a concern. Whether the large swath of land in Port Moody and Anmore is kept industrial or converted to residential use, it’s important to understand there are many concerns about access, transportation, services, infrastructure and the environment, and any development there will have a huge impact on The Tri-Cities and the entire region. Last Friday, Metro Vancouver directors gave initial approval to making the area a special study area, permitting a lower voting threshold at the Metro board if a change to the land-use designation is required. Now, it’s up to the city of Port Moody — and the village of Anmore, where 150 acres of the 232-acre Ioco property is located — to work together to make sure any development is sustainable within the larger community. Although we are some time away from knowing the specifics of what will be proposed for the site, it’s fair to say that the development will transform that corner of the region. Currently, Imperial Oil is seeking interested parties to buy the land and development. So far, the idea is to build a mix of single-family and low-density multifamily housing. But how many families would move in, how many cars would drive in and out of that rural road system daily for school, work and recreation? Probably a lot, and it’s hard to believe any masterplanned community that far away from the core of services in PoMo and Coquitlam town centres will be wellserved by transit. And what about schools? Coquitlam has already seen what it’s like to build a master-planned community without schools. Guess what? Build it and kids will come. Anmore elementary is not large enough to take the numbers of kids that could move in to the area and taxpayers aren’t going to put up with more (free) busing to other schools. It’s reasonable for PoMo to want fewer hurdles to planning for an area that has long been considered for future residential development. But with that power comes the responsibility for ensuring that the property is developed both sustainably and affordably.
Dix and NDP’s budget plan is borrow and spend BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher Third in a series on party platforms…
VICTORIA DP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed”election platform. Major policy announcements had been released previously but there was plenty more spending added to the total. The NDP’s health care plan is surprisingly modest: more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services, and a rural acute care initiative totalling $159 million over three years. As health critic Mike Farnworth of Port Coquitlam points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform. Increases to Community Living B.C., children and families programs and aboriginal
N
friendship centres are also commendable. Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence. Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise. Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000. This ’70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a“child poverty”claim that misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution. The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a“big new social program,”which makes me wonder what would qualify. It would be partly funded by cancelling a BC Liberal plan to establish education savings accounts for kids born after 2006. Out with selfreliance, in with the nanny state. Another $100 million is added to hire more teachers to address the BC Teachers’ Federation’s often-repeated but false claim of

n
“a decade of cuts”in education. Another $100 million goes to student grants, much of it further subsidizing the oversupply of English, education, sociology, women’s studies, journalism and other university grads who eventually discover there is little demand for their degrees. As with welfare, increasing support for bad choices can only yield more bad choices. On a related note, the NDP will revive a ministry of women’s equality,“to promote social and economic equality to all government programs.”As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ’70s socialist feminism alive. The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000, a carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the BC Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans. As for deficits, the NDP claims the BC Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two
years. The BC Liberals point to an impressive string of“net zero”wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record. Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the BC Liberals have done? Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions. The BC Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s Labour Code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote. And how much money does the“fully costed”NDP plan set aside to pay wage increases for its government union brothers and sisters? Zero. Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform and other issues next week.

The Editor, My husband was riding his mobility scooter past Minnekhada middle school last Wednesday morning when a wheel slipped off the sidewalk and he fell down a grassy embankment with the scooter on top of him. Luckily for him, there were painters working on the school who observed what happened, ran to him and administered first aid until the ambulance arrived. He was hospitalized for a few hours and sustained very bad bruising in his rib area and abrasions to his elbow. We are very grateful to those who came to his assistance; the workers who noticed his plight, the emergency personnel and also the vice-principal and office staff who kept his scooter safe in the school office until we could come and take it home. J. Scott, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “FACE TO FACE: Should B.C. once again consider proportional representation?” (The TriCity News, April 26). I have some disagreement with both Face to Face columnists, Andy Radia and Jim Nelson, on the proportional representation debate. Radia’s description of mixed ridings will not work — how are duties supposed to be allocated to mixed riding representatives? As well, party members often believe strongly in their views and are unlikely to cooperate, especially if one party has majority legislative power. Proportional representation meaning proportional power is an illusion.

Harrington, a PoCo arts education pioneer, dies
A group participating in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life has teamed with a volunteer organization to raise money to help fight cancer and help women in Uganda at the same time. Team Cancer Crushers and Meaningful Volunteer, a Coquitlam-based nongovernmental organization, are holding the fundraiser this Friday, May 3, at the Treehouse Pub in Port Coquitlam. The $20 tickets will buy you a meal and a drink, and a chance to bid on a variety of silent auction items, including a day with the Vancouver Canadians (including throwing out the first pitch) and yoga and golf gift certificates. Meaningful Volunteer will also be selling bandanas made by Ugandan women, and there will be other Ugandan crafts available as well. Half the proceeds will go to the Ugandan women and the other half to the Canadian Cancer Society. • The fundraiser is at the Treehouse Pub (2099 Lougheed Hwy., PoCo) May 3 from 5:30 p.m. Visit www.meaningfulvolunteer.org for more information.
dancers and technical and design people.” Chad Matchette, who owns Coquitlam’s Lindbjerg Academy of the Performing Arts and is RCMT’s producer, said Harrington gave him his start 21 years ago — ironically in Oklahoma!, the musical that RCMT just closed out for the season (Harrington was inducted into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame at the April 19 performance).
“He was very passionate about what he did,” Matchette said of his mentor. “He understood the need to do things on a big scale.” Harrington was also involved in the Vagabond Theatre, Metro Theatre, Vancouver Little Theatre, North Vancouver Theatre, Fraser Valley Musical Theatre and Vancouver International Festival, and was an advisor to the theatre department at Douglas College.
Among his accolades, he was the first recipient of the Bernie Legge Cultural Award and won the Sam Payne lifetime achievement award from Actor’s Equity and an Ovation Award from Applause Musical. A farewell will be held for Harrington at RCMT’s home, Massey Theatre (735 Eighth Ave., New Westminster), on Saturday, May 11 at 1 p.m. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A retired teacher from Port Coquitlam high school, who was inducted into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame just two weeks ago, died last Friday. Ed Harrington, a recipient of the key to the city of Port Coquitlam for his work in education, passed away on April 26. The New Westminster resident was 80. Harrington was a teacher at PoCo high — now called Terry Fox secondary — from 1963 to 1989, where he, his longtime companion, Dolores Kirkwood, and James Bryson created musicals. His name is on the school’s wall of fame. In a statement issued yesterday, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said Harrington taught with his father, Bruce, at PoCo high for many years and was a family friend. “Ed’s passion for the performing arts was inspirational,” Moore wrote. “He built a strong, community-focused drama program. “I remember that when the school play was on, the whole school was participating — not always on stage or in the band, but the sports teams would help with ushering, setting up, and other teachers in the school volunteered. It would bring our school and community together.” Besides working as a teacher, Harrington was

Up all night... drumming Riverside event will highlight aboriginal culture By Diane Strandberg The TRi-CiTy NewS
A group of School District 43 students will be drumming for a cause Friday and they’ll lose some sleep over it, too. Dozens of drummers from SD43 and surrounding school districts will be up all night drumming and singing traditional First Nations songs as part of the first ever 24-hour drum at Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam. Funds raised during the event will go to providing sports equipment for remote aboriginal communities. Members of the public are also invited to attend the event from 3 to 10 p.m. Friday and bring food or cash donations for the Share Family and Community Services’ food bank. “The students will be

“You’ll find we have a large population of urban aboriginals and for the students it’s a means to connect to their culture.”
In addition to students from SD43, drummers from Delta, Langley and Maple Ridge are expected to attend, with approximately 150 students
taking turns drumming and singing throughout the night. The SD43 aboriginal drumming group is new this school year and includes approximately 30 students from across the district who practise weekly at Riverside. Cowie also co-ordinates an elementary group of drummers from PoCo’s James Park elementary. Although still in their infancy, the two groups have already had two public performances: Some of the high school students performed at the opening of the Port Coquitlam museum at Leigh Square and the younger drummers helped officially open the new James Park elementary school. Funds raised from the 24 hour drum go to the Aboriginal Pay it Forward group started by aboriginal leadership student Morgan Anson from Gleneagle secondary. Cultural vendors will also have products and displays at the event. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

LEFT: Amanda Stewart is in the orchestra; Laurel, a James Park elementary student, is Chip Potts; and Philip Nelson is Le Fou and Robert Harvey (in red) is Gaston.
The Tri-CiTy NeWs
achael Norman has trained extensively in musical theatre, having started with Coquitlam’s Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts. At the age of 10, she was cast in the company’s ensemble of The Wizard of Oz; three years later, Norman was an orphan in Annie for the Footlight Theatre and the next year she played Mayzie LaBird in Seussical forw C.A.P.A. But when it came to her Grade 12 year at Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam, Norman felt she had missed the high school production experience so, last fall, she auditioned for — and won the lead part of — Belle in the Best Players’ Beauty and the Beast. “It was great when I got it because, when I leave here, it’ll be something that I will always remember,”she said. The 17-year-old actress plays opposite Beau Picard, a Grade 12 student who will portray the Beast for the musical that also features 35 other Grade 9 to 12 students. The stagecraft class as well as musicians under the direction of
Brent Hughes are also involved. Drama teacher Brad Case said having so many cast and crew participate is exciting. “It’s really important for the kids to be involved in the immediacy of live theatre,”he added. The costumes were borrowed from Lindbjerg and Heritage Woods secondary in Port Moody, which put on the musical last year. Based on the 1991 Disney movie, the all-ages musical tells the tale of a young woman named Belle, a bookworm who is wooed by Gaston, a hunter and town hero who loves her only for her looks and not her brains. Later, Belle tracks down her father, who is locked away in a castle in the woods, and makes a deal with the Beast to exchange her freedom for her father’s. The pair become friends and, eventually, fall in love. • The Best Players’ Beauty and the Beast runs May 1 to 4, and May 8 to 11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at $15/$12 are available at the door of the school (2525 Como Lake Ave.). A special show will be held on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. to benefit the Crossroads Hospice Society. Admission for kids under 13 is free with a paying adult at the matinee.

Port Coquitlam’s Martin Sollanych — pictured with his acrylic work, Maui Afternoon — will be among the two dozen artists exhibiting original paintings, drawings, photos, mixed media and embroidery at Art Focus’ spring art show and sale, happening this weekend at The Outlet in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village. The group’s annual event runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday in the building behind city hall.
A collective of adult artists living with mental health challenges will showcase some of their pieces in a Port Coquitlam exhibit that opens tomorrow. My Artist Corner — better known as MAC — will launch Wonders of Nature during Mental Health Week at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village on May 2; the opening reception will be held on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., and artists demos are on May 11 and 25, also from 2 to 4 p.m., in conjunction with the display that ends June 2. Made up of 25 artists from the TriCities, New West and Burnaby, MAC aims to support artists with mental health issues and combat them through artistic expression. “We value the opportunity, in terms of space, time and materials to create art which in turn increases self-confidence, reduces isolation and helps in developing social skills,” MAC stated.

Artwork from seven MAC members will be on show at Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village, starting Thursday.

Nanaimo Timbermen runner Alex McDougall is stopped by Coquitlam Adanacs goalie Giulio Del Bianco during the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League home opener at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex on Saturday night.
Coq. A’s, PoCo Saints, split weekend lacrosse games By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
They may only be two games into the regular season but Port Coquitlam Saints forward Ryan Landels has jumped out to a blistering lead in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League
scoring race. The rookie runner netted 10 goals off of 12 chances on the weekend for an 83.33% shot average and dished in two helpers to take the top spot in the scoring race. Landels is five goals up on second place scorer Cody Nass of Delta and one point ahread of Chris Wardle of the Victoria Shamrocks. But his team struggled in its season home opener at the Port Coquitlam recreation
centre, squandering a first-period 3-1 lead to lose to the Langley Thunder 9-8 on Friday night. Landels notched five goals in the outing, including three in the final period, but it was not enough to defeat the visitors. Nash Harrison also had a five-point night, scoring a goal of his own and notching four assists. The Saints had an easier time defending against their opponents on Sunday night,
when they took on the Burnaby Jr. Lakers at the Burnaby Lake Arena. Again, Landels had five goals and two assists while Harrison had two goals and two helpers in the win. Goalie Bruce Phenix stopped 32 of 37 shots in the win, which saw the Saints jump out to a 7-1 victory in the first period. The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs also split their weekend games.

The Dr. Charles B e s t B l u e D ev i l s kept their unbeaten streak alive Monday night, downing the Centennial Centaurs 4-1 in the final match of the AAA girls high school soccer regular season. Best, along with three other Tri-City teams, will now make its way to the Fraser
Valley play downs, where they will challenge for a berth in the 2013 provincial championships. Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens will join the Blue Devils after locking up second place in the north zone division, followed by the Heritage Woods Kodiaks who took third with a 4-2 record. The Centaurs will also play in the Fraser Valley tourna-
ment, after edging the Riverside Rapids for the fourth and final post-season berth. But Best and Centennial were not the only clubs playing Monday night. Pinetree secondary continued to rack up losses after falling 3-1 to the Gleneagle Talons, while the Kodiaks defeated Port Moody 3-0. see FOuR, page 20

The team opened up the scoring on the power play with a goal from Steven Neufeld, followed by a pair of goals from Taylor and two more from Spencer Stevens to make it 5-4 after the opening period. Both teams scored four goals in the mid-
d l e f ra m e b u t t h e Timbermen’s offense dried up in the third, with only Tyson Fair finding the back of the net. That allowed the Adanacs to take control of the game and secure the victory. But the team did not have as easy of a time on Sunday night when the Victoria Shamrocks came to town. Stevens scored two in the first but the team was down 3-2 by the end of the opening frame after surrendering a short-handed goal midway through the period. The Shamrocks took

The 13th-seed Ducks knocked off the number one Gecko Lower Mainland club in the finals 2-1 (25-8, 19-25,15-9) to win the tournament. “The Ducks… gained more confidence as the day progressed,”said head coach Bryan Gee in an email.“After a hard fought day, the Ducks were able to win their pool.” To take their pool, the team defeated the Sunshine Coast, the Victoria Titans and the Abbotsford Airborne and continued to rack up wins going into the quarter finals agains the third seed Altruista club.

Loving husband and companion of 50 years to Pat, and devoted father of son Scott (Kerrie, Sydney), and daughters Sharon (David, Connor, William) and Susan (Gregg, Madison, Jaxon).

Chuck was born on May 3, 1935 in Surrey, B.C. to Petra and Richard Turner and studied engineering at U.B.C before heading to Montreal where he met his wife Pat who had come from London, England to work at the Royal Victoria Hospital. After Montreal, Chuck moved to Sherbrooke where he married Pat and they lived for three years before spending five years in Ocean Falls. They relocated to Clearbrook and then Coquitlam to make their home and raise their family while Chuck pursued his engineering career. Chuck’s biggest joy was spending time with family.

Harrington - Edwin Charles
February 19,1933 – April 26, 2013 It is with great sadness that we say farewell to Ed. He was an inspiration for greatness in the arts, and a supporter of local performing artists. Ed was proud to live in the Royal City. He was born, raised and lived in New Westminster his whole life. Predeceased by his parents, Violet Mae and Charles Harrington, his sisters Audrey McLean (Elvin) and Shirley Carlson (Bob), and his brother Clifford. Left to mourn are his loving, devoted partner Dolores Kirkwood, sister Marlene (Chic) Sather, sister in-law Audrey Harrington, his two special grandchildren, Tyler and Vanessa, and many nephews and nieces, as well as many dear friends and his much-loved cocker spaniel, Daisy Mae. He received his bachelor degree from U.B.C. (1957), and Masters from the University of Oregon (1969). He taught at Port Coquitlam Secondary, (which became Terry Fox Secondary) from 1963 to 1989. Along with Dolores Kirkwood and James Bryson, he created musicals for 25 years at that school. Many lives were touched, and even changed as a result of those productions. He also taught in Zweibrucken, Germany, in Metz, France, and Millicent, Australia. Ed acted professionally in theatre and film. He was awarded many honours and awards as a result of his teaching, acting, and directing. He was a lifetime member of ACTRA, UBCP, and Actors Equity. He received the Sam Payne Award from Actor’s Equity, the Ovation Award from Applause Musicals, the key to the City of Port Coquitlam, inducted into the Hall of Fame at Terry Fox Secondary, the first recipient of the Bernie Legge Award for the Arts in New Westminster, and, ultimately, he was elected by his peers and inducted into the British Columbia Entertainment Hall of Fame. An active member of the Vagabond Theatre for many years, he also cofounded the Royal City Musical Theatre Company in 1989 and served as its Artistic Director for 16 years. He loved travelling, going on many cruises, making annual trips to Mexico, and several trips to India. Ed was a man who lived life to the fullest. Family, career, travel, and the entertainment world filled his life with joy and fulfillment. He said, “I’ve lived a good life. I have no regrets.” His legacy is one of inspiring excellence in, and a love for, the theatre. He was very appreciative of the care he received from Dr. Metzak and Dr. Ryerson (St. Paul’s), as well as great support from Fraser Health. A farewell gathering will be held at Massey Theatre, at 8th Street, and 8th Avenue in New Westminster at 1:00 on Saturday, May 11.

Skater dresses are reminiscent of the babydoll dresses of the 90s and ice-dance costumes. The cut of the dress is perfect for just about any body shapes. So it’s hard to hate something that’s amazing. If you’re apple-shaped, you can rock the trend. If you’re pear-shaped, you too can look good in the dress! For hourglass-shaped gals, you’d be a fan for life as the skater dress will hug you gently around your curves making you look ultra feminine. You can layer it up with a blazer or a cardigan when you’re in a chilly indoor setting, but for the most part, it’s best to keep it all at a minimum. The short skater dress can also be worn as a tunic top, so pair it up with your favorite leggings or skinny jeans. Skinny belts can be utilized to offer a little bit of structure to your getup and give it a more polished look.

Crossroads Hospice Society provides compassionate support and honours the dignity of those affected by the end-of-life experience
April 21, 2013 – Volunteer Appreciation Pancake Breakfast For over 25 years volunteers have been the heart of Crossroads Hospice Society. During the past year our 475 volunteers have committed over 33,000 hours of service. Pictured above are just a few of our volunteer base who provide compassionate care as volunteers in our visiting volunteer and bereavement services programs, thrift store, special event and support volunteers. In addition to the day-to-day support we are also grateful for the guidance and direction those who offer their time serving on our Board of Directors.

Did you know... Hospice is a home
Hospice is a home for the dying. There is limited medical intervention but the patients and family members are completely supported by doctors, nurses, social workers, hospice staff and volunteers.
Hospice is available
In order to be admitted to Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice patients must be registered with the Fraser Health hospice palliative care program. Patients must also agree with the goal of hospice care.
Help is at hand
When the time comes, a home care nurse can assist the patient and their loved ones with the choices available to them, including when is the best time to come to hospice.
Hospice is in your community
Crossroads Hospice Society, offers our visiting volunteer service in six communities – Tri-Cities, Anmore, Belcarra and New Westminster - as well as at Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice (Port Moody).

We invite you to join us on our journey of dignity, choice and compassion.
The Crossroads Hospice Society Thrift Store held a highly successful fine art and collectibles sale in March which brought together generous donors, current volunteers and new customers.
It is my pleasure to provide my services as a designer, artist and coordinator to such an important and worthy organization as the

At the heart of the sale was artwork by Alaskan artist Rie Munoz previously owned by the Paul Andrew Art Gallery. Paul had passed away at the Inlet Centre hospice and his

wife, Sandra generously donated the artwork to help raise awareness and funds for Crossroads Hospice Society. “I would like to acknowledge the work done by our entire volunteer group, and offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone for the hard work put in, both to prepare for the sale, and to keep the store running well at the same time. I sincerely hope we all feel a sense of pride and
accomplishment at the result. We made a good impression on people who had not been here before and we had a good time the entire day,� says Paul Anderson, Operations Manager, Crossroads Hospice Society Thrift Store. If you would like more information about the thrift store please call 604-949-0459 or email info@ crossroadshospice.bc.ca.

“The themes of compassion, dignity and choice will be expressed through images of supportive family, joy, caring and closeness as well as the images representing the healing programs offered by the society. This project has already raised awareness amongst the youth about what the hospice care involves and its benefit to the community. I hope that this will be the case with everyone who sees the results of the mural painting. By providing an avenue for creative expression for these youth it will build a stronger sense of community pride and awareness of the purpose of Crossroads Hospice Society.

August 10 – Thrift Store Birthday Bash
Students Draw Compassion From early March, twenty-nine art students from Gleneagle Secondary, under the direction of mural artist Tammy Pilon, have been working on the design of a mural to adorn the west side of the Crossroads Hospice Society Thrift Store. Here’s what the artist says about their collective creation.

May 5 – The 11th Annual National Hike for Hospice
In partnership with Fraser Health, we operate the Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice where each year, on average, 150 people spend their final days in our hospice leaving behind a circle of family and friends who also need our care and support. Working closely with hospice and palliative care teams at Eagle Ridge Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital we are proud to provide a continuum of care to help ease life’s final journey. After death, we provide opportunities to celebrate life, loved ones lost, and safe places for grief and bereavement. Support groups for adults and teens offer additional opportunities for healing. In short, we could not provide the comfort and support to those who entrust themselves to our care without everyone in our community. We all play a role. In this issue you will meet a few of our volunteers and other members of our community who have dedicated their time and talents to

Did you know... Hospice is a home
Hospice is a home for the dying. There is limited medical intervention but the patients and family members are completely supported by doctors, nurses, social workers, hospice staff and volunteers.
Hospice is available
In order to be admitted to Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice patients must be registered with the Fraser Health hospice palliative care program. Patients must also agree with the goal of hospice care.
Help is at hand
When the time comes, a home care nurse can assist the patient and their loved ones with the choices available to them, including when is the best time to come to hospice.
Hospice is in your community
Crossroads Hospice Society, offers our visiting volunteer service in six communities – Tri-Cities, Anmore, Belcarra and New Westminster - as well as at Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice (Port Moody).

I sincerely hope we all feel a sense of pride and

“The themes of compassion, dignity and choice will be expressed through images of supportive family, joy, caring and closeness as well as the images representing the healing programs offered by the society. This project has already raised awareness amongst the youth about what the hospice care involves and its benefit to the community. I hope that this will be the case with everyone who sees the results of the mural painting. By providing an avenue for creative expression for these youth it will build a stronger sense of community pride and awareness of the purpose of Crossroads Hospice Society.

May 5 – The 11th Annual National Hike for Hospice
In partnership with Fraser Health, we operate the Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice where each year, on average, 150 people spend their final days in our hospice leaving behind a circle of family and friends who also need our care and support. Working closely with hospice and palliative care teams at Eagle Ridge Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital we are proud to provide a continuum of care to help ease life’s final journey. After death, we provide opportunities to celebrate life, loved ones lost, and safe places for grief and bereavement. Support groups for adults and teens offer additional opportunities for healing. In short, we could not provide the comfort and support to those who entrust themselves to our care without everyone in our community. We all play a role. In this issue you will meet a few of our volunteers and other members of our community who have dedicated their time and talents to

This year we have extra cause for celebration. We will be joining with the City of Port Coquitlam to help celebrate their 100 year anniversary. PoCo Mayor Greg Moore will be our emcee and open Hike for Hospice.
We are also grateful for the unique partnership with the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation Wheel to Heal committee for our promotion of a weekend of health and healing through the 2 Great Causes campaign. Participants who take part in both Wheel to Heal and Hike for Hospice will be eligible for a prize to be drawn on Hike day.

Join us for the 2013 May Day Celebrations! Port Coquitlam certainly has a lot to be proud of in 2013! This year, we mark our City’s 100th birthday and celebrate 90 years of history and tradition with our May Day Festival. Our May Day festivities began in 1923 to celebrate the beginning of Spring, with children gathering at Aggie Park to rejoice and skip around maypoles to perform a wonderful ribbon dance. Ninety years later, the enthusiasm is just as exciting as we enjoy an entire week of family-focused activities! The fun begins with the Opening Ceremonies at 7:30 pm on Friday, May 3rd in the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex. The Port Coquitlam Rotary May Day Parade will bring our community together on Saturday, May 11th and this year, to commemorate our 100 year milestone, City Council will be re-enacting the tree planting ceremony that took place at Aggie Park in 1913. Further details about this year’s May
Day festivities are available on the City’s website at www.portcoquitlam.ca/mayday. We have certainly come a long way over the past century, while continuing to appreciate and honour our long-standing traditions and values. Our small town charm and PoCo Pride has served us well and people are noticing! What better way to celebrate a 100 birthday than to be recognized as one of the most livable cities in BC and Canada. We truly are a best-kept secret, where people can still afford to buy a home or set up a business. Best of all, we still have that old-fashioned community spirit that you don’t often find in urban areas; that speaks to you, our community, and you should be very proud of this accolade! Our City’s May Day Task Force has worked extremely hard with the parks and recreation staff to make this year’s 90th May Day Festival one that you will all enjoy!! On behalf of
Port Coquitlam City Council, we invite you to come out and celebrate our City’s rich history on its 100th birthday!! Yours in PoCo Pride, Greg Moore, Mayor

Happy Birthday Port Coquitlam! This March, Port Coquitlam turned 100 years old. Being one hundred years old is a reason to celebrate and it is with great pleasure that I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about our May Day week and invite you to celebrate this special year with us. Port Coquitlam has been buzzing since January with Birthday activities and we have more to share with you during May Days. During the Opening Ceremonies on May 3rd we will be revisiting 1923, our first May Day in Port Coquitlam. Our royal party will be dancing to the beat of those bygone days with the youthful zest they always provide. There will be live entertainment and we have invited all of our former May Queens to come out and join us. With loads of fun, this always is an awesome event. The Port Coquitlam Heritage Society will be holding their annual dance on May 5th at Wilson Center. If you have not been out to a community dance this one is always lots of fun. Our annual Rotary May Day parade is on Saturday
May 11th. Following the parade, our city will be alive with opportunities for free fun and entertainment. There is a historical re-enactment of the official tree planting ceremony that took place at Aggie Park 100 years ago, a block party in Leigh Square with live music, games, a market place and carnival, a block party at Station Square with train rides, and free Trolley rides leaving from the Port Coquitlam Heritage site to take you around the city. Each of these venues will be offering free fun events for all. One of my favourite days is Mother’s Day in the Park. This year it will take on a new flair with tents and activities at Aggie Park. This is a new location for us. There will be magic and story telling, a pet show, a special planter box to make for mom, and family portraits. Come and bring a picnic lunch or, for a very small price, you can purchase a meal from the Kinsmen. There is always lots of free activities and entertainment for the whole family. As you can see, May Day is a very exciting time for Port
Coquitlam and this year will be even bigger as we celebrate our Centennial . If you are new to the city I invite you to come and experience May Day with us. It’s our birthday and we will be celebrating. I hope that you will join us. You can always find out more about this week by checking out our web site at www.portcoquitlam.ca/mayday.

An elegant gentleman, a spotlight stealing dandy, and a disaster prone clown team up in in this whimsical vaudeville revue. It’s choreographed chaos, it’s musical madcappery, it’s ... Flying Not Falling! Flying Not Falling have entertained audiences around North America, with their unique blend of juggling, clown, and musical comedy.

Vancouver’s finest Montessori now serving the Tri-Cities
Rotary Parade The annual Mayday parade is the most recognized event during the May Day Festival. It has been tradition in Port Coquitlam for decades. It’s been said that half the town is in the parade and the other half is watching. This year the parade theme is “Celebrating our Community Through the Decades” and there are over 100 entries including the crowd favourite The Freddy Fuddpucker Novelty Band. This year many of the former May Queens from the past 90 years will join the parade alongside the
current Port Coquitlam Royal Party comprised of local school children. Over the years one of the most talked about and definitely one of the most exciting entries in the parade is the Vancouver Police Motor Cycle Drill Team. This year they are returning to rev up the crowd just prior to the parade beginning. Get to the parade route early to guarantee a great spot.

May Day Promenade This year being Port Coquitlam’s Hundredth Birthday, we will be commemorating the event with a full costume promenade from Leigh Square to Aggie Park for a ceremonial tree planting and re-enactment of some of the city’s finest moments in history. The participants for this event include our City Councillors, who will be helped along by talented actors from Second Storey Improv Theatre. I have had several opportunities to attend some of Second
Storey’s productions and I am sure they will have all the facts down correctly…. well… maybe close to the facts… okay maybe just loosely based on the facts. Any way you look at it this will be a fun way to spend your afternoon after the parade. Remember, we will be meeting in front of City Hall at approximatley12:00 and rest assured I have it on somewhat sketchy authority that Second Storey would not even consider poking fun at our city.
