Due to cuts, kids wait for support More mental health crises, say school workers DiAne StrAnDberg The Tri-CiTy News
School District 43’s plan for a status quo budget for the next school year has drawn fire from staff who work with vulnerable students. They told trustees at a public meeting Tuesday they want to see staffing restored rather than last year’s cuts continued. Dozens of teachers, support staff, librarians and parents turned out for the only face-to-face opportunity to provide input to the 2015/’16 budget, and even school principals pointed out that “status quo” might not be enough to ensure student success. “On average, there are about five students wait-listed

in each elementary [school], six to eight in middle school and 60 at the secondary level,” said Reiner Kuppers, a school psychologist who does assessments for students who need extra supports. “Our wait lists for assessments continue to grow.” Trustees, most of whom were not on the board when last year’s cuts were made, also heard complaints about a lack of services for children with speech and language problems, cuts to library services, lack of school secretaries, stressed counsellors and youth workers dealing with too many student mental health crises (especially among younger students), administrators with no time to manage, fewer career resources for graduating high school students and a reduction in school maintenance and cleaning. see CTA ASKING, page A3
BURKE MOUNTAIN
Purchase process was competitive: wesbild DiAne StrAnDberg The Tri-CiTy News
The company that bought 370 acres of land on Burke Mountain from the province last year says it paid fair market value for the property and stands by the integrity of the purchase process.
In a statement to the media Wednesday, Wesbild responded to public criticism that the province rushed the sale of the land to raise funds to balance its budget, selling the property at below market value.

HONOURING VETERANS
SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Quesnel’s Paul Nichols and his daughter, Kirsten, clip-clopped into Port Moody Wednesday for a stop at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 119, where they laid a wreath at the cenotaph and had lunch with members. Nichols is riding across Canada to raise awareness and funds for veterans’ issues; he left Victoria on Monday and aims to reach the east coast — more than 11,000 km away — in November. He is a former Calgary Highlander and served with the 2nd Battalion Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in Croatia in 1993. With his wife, Terry, the family now owns a therapeutic farm and riding centre in Quesnel. Veterans are invited to join the cross-Canada ride after receiving a riding lesson; contact veterans.ride.canada@gmail.com or 250-747-2684 or visit www.communitiesforveterans.com for more information.

CTA asking trustees to forego their pro D cash Speak up!

But for Charley King, president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association (CTA), the meeting was not enough time for SD43 employees to get across their concerns about the budget, which maintains cuts made over the last two years, including $13.8 million in 2014/’15, nor was he happy with what he called a lack of detail in the public budget documents. “I don’t really know what it is we’re here to do and to communicate,” a frustrated King said as his presentation went over the five minutes allotted and he was cut off. The CTA is calling for re-

Trustees Association, a savings of $60,000, and not hiring a community relations manager for $100,000. SD43 numbers show 96 positions were lost this year through operating budget cuts, although 42 employees, including teachers and support staff, were hired with provincial Learning Improvement Funds to work with vulnerable learners. King said overall, 165 FTE
teaching positions have been lost since 2013/’14. Several speakers said that sticking with the status quo wouldn’t be enough to help students because many are on waiting lists for services. And a retired SD43 clerk suggested trustees, whose $36,000 pay is the highest in B.C. — for the province’s third largest district — should reconsider cuts made to retirees’ health benefits that saved the board $1.6 million. The cuts to cost sharing for extended health plans for retirees are “a financial hardship for many,” Betty McKnight told the board. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
Wait lists by the NOs.
The following are numbers provided by School District 43 employees at Tuesday’s budget meeting about the impact of $13.8 million cuts made to this year’s staffing. No additional hires are expected in the budget currently up for discussion.
SPeeCH & LaNguage
Last year, speech and language pathologist services were cut by 24% and, as a result, only 550 students are receiving services, down from 877 in 2013/’14, and a wait list of 313 elementary students was established. Older students are receiving minimal service for programs such as help with alternative communication devices for students who are non-verbal.
PSyCHoLogICaL aSSeSSMeNTS
School psychologists were cut from 8.9 FTE to 5.9, reducing by half the number of assessments provided to struggling elementary students who need special services but can’t get them without a learning disability diagnosis. This year, 250 students who need assessments won’t be able to get them unless their parents pay $2,000 for a private assessment.
LIBRaRy SeRVICeS
Time allotted for teacher/librarian services were cut by the equivalent of 38 FTE; as a result, schools had to find alternative means to staff libraries, including having administrators do the work, or if librarians were kept on in the post, the numbers of hours in the job were cut. At one middle school with an enrolment of 700 students, the library is open for 20 minutes four days a week.

PoMo & anmore get together on Ioco plan Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
The city of Port Moody and the village of Anmore have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for dealing with future development on the Ioco lands. The agreement states that the two councils and staff will “work together and exchange information and communicate on a timely basis with respect to development applications” for the Ioco lands. As well, PoMo and Anmore will consult with each other on such matters as regional traffic, the Mossom Creek watershed and fish hatchery, environmental protection, infrastructure and amenities, neighbourhood concerns and heritage protection. Imperial Oil sold the 232acre Ioco property in January to the Vancouver-based Brilliant Circle Group (BCG) for an undisclosed sum. It had been on the market about two years, billed as one of the largest prime real estate development opportunities in Metro Vancouver. About 150 acres are in Anmore while the remaining 83 are in Port Moody. “We’re letting these people know that they have to deal with both cities,” said Anmore Mayor John McEwen said of the MOU. “To develop the lands, there’s road issues with the David Avenue extension going through Anmore, water issues have to be accessed through Port Moody. We wanted to work as a group on how the lands are developed or how they’re even planned.” Architect James Cheng, who is representing the buyer, said the company has had meetings with staff in both municipalities as they continue the research phase of the project, which also included meeting with the Port Moody Heritage Society. As well, environmen-
PAYING TOO MUCH TAX?

Clarke Road was fully re-opened Wednesday afternoon, less than a week after its southbound lanes were closed because of a third sinkhole that formed over the Evergreen Line tunnel boring machine. The sinkhole developed on April 9 at Clarke and Seaview Drive, and the closure of half of Clarke sent traffic through the quiet residential streets of Glenayre and College Park. At Tuesday’s council meeting, several residents expressed concerns about the safety of pedestrians in those areas, particularly children walking to school, noting that traffic controllers seemed to be rushing cars through at the expense of pedestrians. And although Evergreen Line project director Amanda Farrell said Clarke would be fully re-opened by the end of the week, Coun. Robert Vagramov made a motion for an emergency “local-traffic only zone” that would remove the detour and require the Evergreen Line project team to implement alternating traffic on the remaining two lanes of Clarke, effective immediately. Neal Carley, general manager of engineering and parks, said developing a new traffic management plan requires trained traffic management professionals working with EGRT, emergency services, Coast Mountain Bus Company and the cities of Port Moody and Coquitlam. The provincial government gives final approval for the plan before it can be implemented. Carley said officials would be working on the new plan on Wednesday morning to hopefully have it in place by the afternoon rush hour. But by 4 p.m. on Wednesday Clarke Road was deemed safe for travel and all four lanes were in use.

tal consultants AquaTerra Environmental Ltd. are returning to the site to do further research on the creek running through the Ioco townsite. That work is expected to take another month, after which Cheng said planning will begin for the public consultation process. “We want to officially start very soon to meet with the
neighbours and other stakeholders,” Cheng told The TriCity News, but there’s more research that needs to happen before then. “We want to be very familiar with the site before we meet with them. They’ve been living there all their lives and we need to catch up.” spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

PORT MOODY MILL FIRE
Back to work a day after stubborn fire at Flavelle Gary McKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
It took more than 12 hours for Port Moody firefighters to fully extinguish a blaze that broke out at the Flavelle sawmill Wednesday morning and sent plumes of smoke across the city. The stubborn, smokey fire was burning around the facility’s planing mill and crews had to rip up parts of the floors and walls to get at the source. “It was a long, hard, frustrating fight,” said Port Moody Fire Chief Remo Faedo. “I think the call came in at 10:30 a.m. and we finally put it out around 11:20 p.m.”
There was plenty of sawdust to fuel the blaze and he said crews were concerned about embers igniting fires on other parts of the property. The yard was full of lumber and Faedo said it would not have taken much for the flames to spread. The large amount of smoke made it difficult to get at the source of the blaze, which was burning in a crawlspace underneath the planing mill. “All you could see was smoke,” Faedo said. “We knew there was fire, we just didn’t know exactly where it was.” Nobody was injured in the blaze and 30 crew members and eight volunteers
were required to contain it. Firefighters from Coquitlam were also put on standby and were ready to deploy if necessary, Faedo said. The planing mill will likely need to be rebuilt but he noted that most of the employees at the Flavelle facility work on other parts of the property. Faedo noted that when he visited the site Thursday, many of the workers were back on the job. Fire investigators were still investigating yesterday but determining what started the fire will be difficult, he said.

PoMo chips in to take care of namesake’s U.K. grave Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
It’s been nearly 160 years since Col. Richard Clement Moody surveyed his way from New Westminster to the shores of Burrard Inlet, in the process building North Road and planting the seeds of the small city that would bear his name. And about 150 years have passed since Moody left the area and returned to England, where he died in 1887 and was buried at St. Peter’s Church in Bournemouth. At some point in the last 128 years, Moody’s descendants stopped maintaining his gravesite and, according to a staff report presented to Port Moody council Tuesday, the memorial has fallen into disrepair. David Spence, a retired PoMo minister who donned a replica of Moody’s uniform to play the role of the city’s namesake during its centennial celebrations in 2013, visited the gravesite last year and found there was minimal upkeep (the churchyard and cemetery grounds are the responsibility of the Bournemouth borough council but individual graves are not). PoMo staff contacted St. Peter’s and were referred to a local funeral home, Head and
POMO MONsTer MeeTiNg Port Moody residents hoping to have a say on the city’s proposed mega homes bylaw changes can do so at a public hearing on April 28. The zoning bylaw amendments include changes to the way grade is calculated, revised height limits and new regulations for landscape and retaining walls. The changes have been developed over a series of meetings since last July, when a group of residents along the Ioco Road corridor called on council to put a stop to the construction of “monster homes” that were blocking the views of older, smaller homes in the area. A set of “good neighbour” guidelines is also being developed to help encourage residents and developers to discuss building plans with their neighbours. At Tuesday’s meeting, council approved the first and second readings of the bylaw amendments and will hold a public hearing on April 28.

DAVID SPENCE PHOTOS
Photos of the gravesite of Col. Richard Clement Moody, after whom Port Moody is named, in Bournemouth, in the United Kingdom. The city of PoMo will pay $169 this year towards its upkeep. Wheble Ltd., that offers such a maintenance service, including cleaning the memorial and removing any debris. Council agreed to pay £90 (approximately $169) and use photos to evaluate the condition of the grave after one year. (The funeral home also offers long-term maintenance contracts that would cost about $846 for a five-year term or $1,700 for 10 years.) New Westminster has referred a similar request for funding to its director of museums; council there has not yet received a report on the matter.

Council votes to spend more on Trans Mountain process The cost of Port Moody’s participation in the Trans Mountain Pipeline review process continues to climb with more money added to what Mayor Mike Clay describes as a “black hole” that isn’t producing any discernible results. At Tuesday’s meeting, council passed a motion to allocate up to $35,000 in additional funds to continue participating in the National Energy Board (NEB) review of the proposed Trans Mountain expansion. But estimates on what has been spent to date range from $40,000 to $160,000 in costs and staff time so far, with approximately 70 days worth of staff time used in the latest round of questions alone. “We’re throwing money into a pit to stand in front of a board we think is irrelevant and shouldn’t exist,” Clay said at Tuesday’s meeting. PoMo applied to participate in the NEB’s review process in February 2011 and was granted intervenor status in April 2014. Since then the city has submitted three information requests as well as two notices of motion that point out the inadequacy of Trans Mountain’s

Diana Dilworth said she wouldn’t support additional funding, saying the city had already incurred too high a bill and participating in a federal process “is not an appropriate use of our tax dollars.” But Coun. Rick Glumac said the city’s participation in the review process is essential to represent residents’ concerns. “If we don’t want to have a voice, then step away,” Glumac said. “But if we do want to have a voice and build on the amazing work staff has done in collecting 221 pages of concerns around environmental issues and emergency response, somebody needs to be there to speak to these issues as they relate to Port Moody.” “I do agree the process is
very flawed,” he said, “but to me that is a separate issue.” In a subsequent vote on adding PoMo’s support to a list of municipalities calling on the federal government to put the Trans Mountain proposal on hold until the NEB “addresses the significant deficiencies in its public hearing and review process,” Glumac said the board is stacked with oil industry executives and the process is inherently broken. “Our staff has submitted 221 pages of questions that were not adequately answered,” he added. “I hope this process is halted and fixed.” But Clay said it doesn’t make sense to spend more money on a process that everyone agrees is flawed. “This is a colossal waste of

OUR OPINION
Make records mandatory?
P
arents have to prove both their child’s residency and provide birth documentation upon enrolment in school. So why don’t they need to show their vaccination records? at the very least, this requirement would remind parents to keep records up to date. fraser Health does a check when students get booster shots in Grades 6 and 9 but those records aren’t kept in any kind of database, and international students may be even more challenged to produce records in the event of a disease outbreak, such as the recent measles diagnosis at Terry fox secondary. a national database of vaccinations has been recommended and in some countries, such as australia, families don’t get child care benefits unless their child is vaccinated. While there doesn’t seem to be any appetite for these measures in Canada, parents will need to be scrupulous and current in their record keeping.

Odd and telling B.C. political donations from 2014 S AS I SEE IT

ome children sing that “when you wish upon a star, it makes no difference who you are.” by adulthood, most of us have given up on that idea and a few — just to hedge their bets — donate to political parties rather than testing their luck on a star. and that’s what makes the annual financial reports from b.C.’s political parties so fascinating. They may still be pipe dreams in the eyes of most but that didn’t stop pipeline proponents from giving generously to the bC Liberal party, with donations from Kinder Morgan ($4,500), TransCanada Pipelines ($5,600), Coastal GasLink Pipeline ($12,500) and Enbridge Northern Gateway ($13,450). In its debut on b.C.’s political donor chart, Woodfibre LNG started at $28,000 for the bC Liberals and $8,000 to the bC NdP, which almost seems like pocket change for its owner, Indonesian billionaire Sukanto Tanoto. Knowing that seeing things clearly should be a job requirement for an MLa, the bC association of optometrists donated $2,820 to the NdP and $13,300 to bC Liberals. In the “I gave at the office and that office and that office, too” category, the automotive Retailers association
TC
gave $1,625 to the bC Liberals and the New Car dealers association of bC gave $80,977 (which is about what they’ve given to the NdP over the last 10 years). as they say, you can never have enough insurance, which may explain why the Insurance bureau of Canada donated $29,750 to the bC Liberals. The waste management industry stepped up, even though garbage — sorry, waste — is a regional government thing. Waste Management of Canada donated $1,500 to the bC Liberals, which seems paltry when you consider that bfI Canada had money to burn ($91,300), as did belkorp Environmental Services ($37,200). bet it had something to do with that proposed $500-million incinerator in Metro vancouver. beancounters came through for the bC Liberals with donations from Ernst and Young ($19,050), deloitte ($39,900) and KPMG ($40,950). Private liquor stores upped their stake with the bC Liberals big-time. In 2013, liquor stores made seven donations to the party totalling $24,500 and nine to the NdP ($10,750). Last year, 34 donations to the Liberals totalling $87,419 and two to the NdP ($1,500). You might almost
think the b.C. government was reviewing its liquor policies. duty free shops were also big on the bC Liberals, donating $18,600, with douglas Crossing duty free topping the list at $8,000. The NdP weren’t required to return any donations that are prohibited under the act but the bC Liberals had to return 11, including $600 from Multi-Material bC and $2,000 from the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council. and the 2014 award for Incredibly bad Taste in donations goes to Imperial Metals, owners of the Mount Polley mine. The spill may have been toxic but Imperial’s cash wasn’t as the mining company donated $7,150 to the bC Liberals, including a $1,500 cheque in october and another for $250 in November. Those last two might have been better put to cleaning up the spill rather than currying political favour. Hey, here’s an idea: The bC Liberals could turn the money over to local efforts at coping with the spill’s aftermath. finally — for those trying hard not to keep track — the Liberals have raised $96.8 million since 2005, the NdP $40.2 million, the Green party $1.6 million and the bC Conservatives $1.5 million.

TRANSPORTATION REFERENDUM
SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
The Editor, Re. “Transport ‘revolution’ could make transit obsolete: think tank” (tricitynews.com). I write in response to regional reporter Jeff Nagel’s story on the Fraser Institute’s critique of the mayors for failing to consider emerging transportation technologies in their transit expansion plan. In it, report author Kenneth Green argues dynamic, personalized transport may meet many goals of transit expansion supporters but with less cost and less public subsidy. It’s unfortunate that an institute that holds itself out as a leader for free market thought makes such a basic error in neglecting the massive bakedin road subsidy. If Mr. Green truly wants a less subsidized transportation system, then I would expect him to speak out against big government road building and in favour of privately owned and operated streets.
The Editor, As a of parent a School District 43 student, I cannot help but feel discouraged by the parade of staff members who stepped up to the podium at Tuesday’s budget meeting. Each told a tale that compounded the problems of the previous speaker and painted a picture of a bleak future in our public schools. From teachers to principals, counsellors to speech pathologists, custodians to clerical workers, each shared how they were overworked due to previous cuts and how students were suffering as a result. The truly sad part was how they tried to explain how important their remaining staff are and their pleas for exemption from impending cuts to next year’s budget. The unfortunate thing is the school district is tied to the mandated cuts from the BC Liberal government and to servicing its own debt. At the end of the evening, the board was able to make motions and recommendations
So, Fraser Institute School board should lead supports subsidies? by example and take cuts A ROUNDABOUT WAY OF MOVING CARS The Editor, It seems that replacing the traffic lights with a traffic circle at the intersection of Clarke and Moody streets in Port Moody would be very logical and go a long way towards calming and expediting the flow of traffic. Norbert Kaysser, Port Coquitlam
If we took the same returnon-investment calculations that are common on the side of the curb where we live or work and applied them to the side of the curb where we run vehicles, we would quickly realize how badly we are being ripped off and how much of a sweetheart deal we give to operators of private vehicles. Owning 1,000 square feet on one side of the curb would earn you thousands of dollars per month in many parts of our region. As collective owners of the space on the other side of the curb, why do we accept a rate of $0 (for moving vehicles) or almost zero (for
stationary parked vehicles)? I can understand our region is known as the “left coast” and perhaps a large population of socialists and communists support this arrangement. But why does the Fraser Institute support it? Whether they understand it or not, Mr. Green and the Fraser Institute are not really advocating for less public subsidy in transportation, they are advocating for more. If they truly want small government and low taxes, they would be shouting from the hilltops the virtues of walking and biking. Stuart Smith, Vancouver

before the budget is finalized and presented for approval next week. This was an opportunity for board members to show leadership. Any one of them could have taken up Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president Charley King on his suggestion to forego their professional development (PD) budgets to the tune of a $56,000 savings. They made no motions to this end. Earlier this year, the trustees gave themselves yet another 5% raise, following their automatic raise policy. SD43 trustees are the highest paid in the province. In 2012, they received a 16% raise and, in 2013, another 14%. This occurred while running a deficit budget of nearly $10 million and cutting jobs in every area of the district — jobs from
people who work directly with our children. Still, no motions occurred at the end of meeting to forego PD funding or reduce trustee salaries in order to share in the pain felt throughout district by staff (and even the former staff). I feel for the board, which must make these most difficult decisions around funding. I feel for trustees in deciding which of the sad stories we heard will only become worse in the coming year. But I wish they would lead by example and share in the funding cuts. Once the budget process is complete, I hope this board begins to address the true problem and join with the other school districts and parents from around this district to speak out against the provincial government for underfunding public education. If you want them to advocate for greater funding, I recommend you tell them so at the final budget meeting April 21 at Winslow Centre. Larry Ryan, Coquitlam

THE ENVIRONMENT
Earth Day activities April 22 in Tri-Cities The health of the Coquitlam River is important to residents as well as wildlife, and on Earth Day, April 22, there will be plenty of opportunity to celebrate and work to protect this important watershed. The Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable is hosting a series of public events that day to raise awareness about the river and will launch its Healthy Watersheds, Healthy People action plan for the Lower Coquitlam River watershed. Starting out, there will be three opportunities for the community to do yoga together, a seniors’ session from noon to 1 p.m. at Spirit Square, Glen Pine Pavilion, 1200 Glen Pine Crt. (bring a yoga mat, event held rain or shine). Then at 4 p.m., children will have a halfhour session, this one at the Coquitlam city hall courtyard, 3000 Guildford Way, followed by a community yoga session in the same courtyard, which will run from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (bring a yoga mat and water). “The kids are going to envision themselves as salmon going up the river and returning to complete their life cycles,� explained Marni Turek, coordinator of the community roundtable initiative, who is helping to organize the event. There will also be an art project where a scene on canvas will be created with public input

Blakeburn elementary school in Port Coquitlam is celebrating Earth Day on April 22 by planting its community garden. One of the highlights will be the painting of special pledges to the Earth on rocks that will edge the garden, and replanting plants for hummingbirds. Joining in the fun will be, from left, Shelby and Matthew Dowdel, Grade 3 students, and Charlie Roberts, a kindergarten student, whose mom, Jami, is helping replant the garden. and ideas. Art pieces in the past have included comments that helped inspire future projects. “It really breaks the ice and people get really engaged in it,� Turek said. “It was nice to see languages from all over the world in wishing the salmon a healthy journey on their way back to the streams.� But the highlight of the day will be an evening presentation about the science behind ecosystem services and the link-
ages to human well-being. Craig Orr, a conservation advisor and member of the community roundtable, will be speaking at the Coquitlam city hall event at 7 p.m. He has helped lead the Watershed Watch Salmon Society for more than 16 years, examining water use issues, run-off-river planning, groundwater and salmon interactions, and the sustainability of salmon fisheries. Orr also advises the Kwikwetlem
First Nation on conservation issues, including the restoration of Coquitlam River sockeye. As well, from 4 to 8 p.m., there will be a watershed plan open house at city hall. In honour of Earth Day, people are encouraged to find alternative modes of transportation to city hall. For more information visit www.coquitlamriverwatershed. ca or www.mywatershedmoment.ca.
Something’s fishy You can help make the local salmon population sustainable by joining the Hyde Creek Watershed Society in its annual release of coho smolts into the Port Coquitlam creek. The annual event takes place Saturday, April 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Members have spent 18 months raising coho from eggs through to fry and smolt stages and these coho are now ready to travel to the ocean. Participants will carry a bucket of salmon from the hatchery to the creek and then release them for their journey. There will also be an opportunity to visit the education centre and have a tour with one of the volunteer members. Exhibits and crafts are part of the day, along with a fundraising hot dog barbecue sponsored by Coopers Foods and Save-On Foods stores in Port Coquitlam. The education centre and hatchery is located at 3636 Coast Meridian Rd. (at Patricia Avenue). Parking is available at the Hyde Creek rec centre on Laurier Avenue and it’s a short walk west along the Traboulay PoCo Trail to the hatchery.

If approved the bylaw amendment would: • Amend the Citywide Official Community Plan, Chapter 5.2 to add policies to support the proposed “Business Enterprise” land use designation. • Amend the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan to remove the “Highway Retail” land use designation with a new land use designation,“Business Enterprise”, to correspond with the new B-1 Business Enterprise zone. • Amend the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan to add policy which supports the development of small-scale restaurants, and grocery stores of limited size, that support local industrial workers, under specific circumstances. • Amend the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan and Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan to add the three new zones (M-1 General Industrial, M-2 Industrial Business and B-1 Business Enterprise) as corresponding zones to the “Industrial” and “Business Enterprise” land use designations, and add policies that outline the intent and conditions of use for each of the Industrial and Business Enterprise land use designations. • Amend Schedule D to the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan to limit the B-1 zone to the areas along United Boulevard, as outlined on the Schedule. • Add two new zones (M-1 General Industrial, M-2 Industrial Business) as corresponding zones to the “Industrial” land use designations to the City Centre Area Plan and add policies that outline the intent and conditions of use for the Industrial land use designation. • Redesignate properties by changing the OCP land use designation to be consistent with the new zones assigned to a property including redesignating: • Approximately 22 properties from Highway Retail Industrial to Business Enterprise; • Approximately four (4) properties from Industrial to Business Enterprise; and • Approximately 15 properties from Industrial to Service Commercial. The intent of Bylaw 4527, 2015 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to consolidate the City’s nine industrial zones into three new zones (M-1 General Industrial, M-2 Industrial Business, B-1 Business Enterprise). The proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw would: • Delete the existing nine industrial zones and add the three proposed new zones to the text of the Zoning Bylaw (M-1 General Industrial, M-2 Industrial Business, B-1 Business Enterprise). • Rezone approximately 345 properties under one of the current nine industrial zones to one of the three new zones, or the existing CS-1 Service Commercial zone. • Rezone six properties from M-4 Asphalt and Concrete Plant Industrial to A-3 Agricultural and Resource to permit concrete and asphalt batching and associated accessory uses, and amend the minimum setbacks and minimum lot size limited to these six specific properties within the A-3 zone regulations. • Amend the CS-1 Service Commercial zone to: - permit a mini-warehouse use; - increase the maximum lot coverage to 55%; - increase the maximum density to not exceed a maximum gross floor area of 0.6 times the lot area; and - increase the maximum building height to 11 metres, not to exceed one story, except for mini-warehouses which must not exceed 11 metres and two stories. • Add new definitions pertaining to the three new zones and revise several existing definitions; and
• Add parking requirements for each of the new zones and for a mini-warehouse use in the CS-1 zone.

The Green Party of Canada now has two candidates for this fall’s federal election to challenge Tri-City MPs James Moore and Fin Donnelly. Small-business owner and artist Brad Nickason, a Port Coquitlam resident, was picked last month to run against Moore in Coquitlam-PoCo. A member of PoCo’s cultural advisory committee, Nickason is the founder and curator of The Peace Art Collective, which advocates the use of artistic expression to create awareness of peace as a global option. In an email to The Tri-City News, Nickason said he wants to “restore old and develop new funding sources” for communities. Meanwhile, in Port MoodyCoquitlam, MP Donnelly will face long-time Green Party member Marcus Madsen. The Port Moody resident has served as the media liaison, treasurer and councillor-at-large on the provincial council for the BC Greens. Last year, he was elected as the B.C. representative to the federal council of the Green Party of Canada. Currently, the German native is the Port Moody-Coquitlam membership director for the federal party.

BURKE MOUNTAIN
Money from sales spread over 2 budget years continued from front page
Wesbild said the sale process was competitive and administered by Colliers International. “Our firm submitted a bid for 14 of the 21 parcels that were on offer and we were the successful bidder for these lands,” the company stated. “We paid fair market value and fully stand by the integrity of this transaction.” This week, the Wesbild purchase garnered the spotlight when the NDP produced documents that showed the province sold the 14 parcels for $85 million rather than the $128 million it had been independently appraised at by Equity Valuation and Consulting Services for the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resources. That appraisal, done in 2013 by researching and comparing the sale prices of similar properties, was subsequently deemed by Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk as “overly aggressive.” The document, obtained by The Tri-City News, shows that Wesbild paid closest to the appraised value for properties located off Cedar Drive, which are serviced with municipal water, with the potential for townhouse development but much less — about 50% of the appraised value or lower — on properties further north, such as five located east of Coast Meridian in the Hazel Harper
The lots on this map that were purchased by Wesbild are numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 33, 43 and 44. Area, considered steeper and further away from servicing. Sale prices ranged from $11 million for an 11.5-acre lot at 4189 Cedar Dr. (just $20,000 less than the appraised value) to $100,000 for 16 acres of unserviced land — valued at $5.6 million — fronting Conifer Drive near Harper Drive, which is bordered by Pinecone Burke Provincial Park to the north and east, and is a popular spot for mountain bikers. The appraiser viewed the Conifer Drive land as moderately sloped, with no watercourses, and stated it could be developed in the medium term once access and services could be provided. The 2015 assessment by the BC Assessment authority was $2.3 million. Wesbild has been developing
property in Coquitlam since the 1990s, including Westwood Plateau, and continues to purchase land, which it services, then sells to other developers that build and market homes. Between 2002 and 2003, it purchased more than 400 acres from the province and private landowners on Burke Mountain, which it rezoned after extensive community consultation. The first parcels of land purchased by Wesbild were re-zoned in the spring of 2006, leading to the beginning of construction of The Foothills community in early 2007. In the Burke Mountain deal that took place last year, land was set aside for two future schools: four acres for an elementary school and three more for a middle school,
which School District 43 will be able to buy back at 2014 prices. Wesbild will cover all the development costs for the schools, which include sidewalks, curbs, street pavement, boulevards and utility infrastructure. (Meanwhile, Burke Mountain parents are still waiting for confirmation of construction for Smiling Creek elementary and School District 43 has promised to update the community later this spring.) But Wesbild’s land purchase continues to generate comment. This week, NDP leader John Horgan said he believes the province lost money on the deal because it didn’t wait the recommended six to nine months to sell the property as it was in the rush to conclude the deal and balance the budget. The NDP also noted that Wesbild founder Hassan Khosrowshahi donated close to $1 million to the BC Liberals individually and through his companies. Documents show money from the land sale was put in government coffers over two years: Five parcels (phase 1) that sold for $50 million went on the books for fiscal year 2013/’14 and nine parcels (phase 2) that sold for $35 million were placed on the books for fiscal year 2014/’15. In all, six offers were made for the 21 properties, ranging from an interest in only two to five properties up to Wesbild’s
offer for 14 properties, which was later accepted because it was considered the “lowest risk, most comprehensive bundling of parcels and greatest benefit to the community,” according to the report from Duncan Williams, executive director of Tenures, Competitiveness and Innovation Division. The document, dated April 7, 2015, noted that the province continues to market three parcels on Burke Mountain,
“however there has been limited interest in these properties to date.” In January, the city of Coquitlam announced it had purchased 160 acres of land in Burke Mountain’s northeast for $11 million. At the time, Perry Staniscia, Coquitlam’s general manager of strategic initiatives, said the land was a good investment for taxpayers.

THE ANSWER
Metro Vancouver mayors aim to introduce road pricing, which could replace the current system of tolling only new bridges with consistent tolls on all existing crossings, or perkilometre road use charges on all major routes. So is that idea also scuttled if Metro voters defeat the proposed 0.5% sales tax increase that would fund transit expansion across the region? The Mayors’ Council says it intends to explore road pricing options regardless of the outcome. A referendum No vote on the congestion tax does not block tolls on a replaced Pattullo Bridge nor does it prevent an eventual move to road pricing. Mayors propose road pricing be revenue-neutral under a Yes outcome that authorizes the new sales tax; road use fees would replace bridge tolls within eight years and allow a six-cent-per-litre reduction in the TransLink gas tax. A No vote that blocks the extra $250 million per year from sales tax may create more pressure to instead pursue the idea as a revenue generator. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said there has been no debate about that and the province has been clear that any new funding source has to go to referendum. Road pricing is part of the mayors’ long-range vision because making drivers pay to travel by road is expected to have a profound effect on how they choose to get around. Road tolls that change by the time of day — charging more at peak times and less or zero off-peak — would spur some drivers to drive at cheaper times or take transit, easing the worst congestion at rush hour peaks and making the system more efficient, experts say. “It spreads the peak,” says Robin Lindsey, transportation and logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. “Those people who are more flexible will go to the off-peak and the people that have no choice but to travel on the peak and pay will have quicker trips.” The ideal system, he says, would be one where vehicles are tracked by satellite and charged according to how far they drive. “It’s an economist’s dream and most motorists consider it their nightmare,” said Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute. He calls road pricing a smart solution compared to raising revenue from other types of taxes, because of its ability to limit congestion. “If it’s done correctly, it’s a real win-win.” A modest toll on all major

bridges — $1 to $2 on any crossing of the Fraser River, Burrard Inlet and False Creek, with reductions at off-peak times — instead of higher tolls on just a few would greatly improve congestion, Litman predicts. Years of study is expected before one recommended model for road pricing emerges. Tolling gantries could also be erected to charge drivers to use highways or to cross specific lines in the region so the system captures east-west trips that don’t cross bridges, such as Coquitlam to UBC or Fort Langley to Tsawwassen. Litman also agreed a comprehensive GPS-based tracking system would be the ultimate way to track all vehicle trips and charge according to where they travel and when. Singapore has had road pricing with gantries for years but is moving to a GPS system to charge by distance. Oregon is testing a voluntary road-pricing system that uses GPS to charge 1.5 cents per mile driven in exchange for a rebate on fuel taxes. Litman said the pricing system could have a daily cap on the maximum a driver is charged or a home zone exemption that allows a certain number of free kilometres each day. Road pricing could also fix the unfairness of the current system of just tolling new bridges, which causes people to drive far out of their way to avoid paying. The mayors’ plan projects a 24% drop in how far people drive over the next 30 years.
“This progress comes partly through investment in alternatives to driving but fully three quarters of that progress is from the introduction of time- and distance-based road tolls,” the plan states, adding, “Pricing will need to play a pivotal role” to reach plan targets. Any road pricing scheme would have to recover at least the $120 million a year in tolls paid at the Port Mann Bridge and $40 million at the Golden Ears, plus presumably finance new bridges to replace the Pattullo, the Massey Tunnel and potentially others in the future. According to mayors’ council estimates, each penny charged per kilometre travelled could add up to roughly $100 million per year in revenue under a road pricing scheme. It would take about $115 million to chop the gas tax from 17 to 11 cents a litre, or $350 million to eliminate it altogether. Without road pricing, new bridges are assumed to be tolled like the Port Mann. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has promised a review of the province’s current tolling policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure and only if there’s a free alternative. He has indicated the current tolling system would have to be reorganized in the name of fairness if the region ends up with just one heavily congested untolled crossing of the Fraser — the Alex Fraser Bridge. The No campaign leader Jordan Bateman said he’s not yet convinced the existing Massey Tunnel needs to be replaced and he doesn’t buy

claims road pricing would be revenue-neutral. “In theory, road pricing is great,” Bateman said. “But when TransLink gets their hands on theoretical things and makes them real, they have a disturbing habit of screwing them up.” jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

Getting from A to B in a healthier & happier way LIVING GREEN
MELISSA CHAUN
M
any of us start a new year with resolutions to improve our health but how many of us actually succeed? Headline news continues to report the rise in childhood obesity and diabetes while mental wellness is evermore a topic at top of mind. Last July, the Canadian Medical Association Journal released updated requirements for Vitamin D. Although 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight, on average, is sufficient exposure for your body to make the “sunshine vitamin,” wearing sunscreen can compromise this. Moreover, your body can struggle to accomplish this in the winter season, depending on where you live. Recently, CBC Radio interviewed Kathryn Rose, head of orthoptics at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, who has been studying the rise in childhood myopia (short-sightedness), strongly correlated with an increase in time spent indoors. In short, we are living far more sedentary lives than did previous generations, and to the detriment of our well-being. Although I own a small, fuelefficient vehicle, I have, over the years, averaged driving just once a week. Even though ICBC does not reward me much for doing so, I believe my overall health has. Since my university student days, I have owned and operated a well-oiled bicycle and have come to realize that choice is a wonderful thing. Deciding to run home from the office twice a week, regardless of the weather, has really worked for me. When the office is far away, I run the first portion and catch the bus for the remainder, working up to longer distances, if so desired. I use a mini knapsack, just enough to carry some water and light rain gear (hat and gloves for the cooler weather) so when I finish, I can stay hydrated and prevent chills. Whether biking or running, I wear a reflective sash and/ or sleeveless vest, and keep a
few bus tickets on hand, just in case. Some people understandably get nervous when thinking about cycling in traffic. As with anything new, it takes time to build one’s confidence but the truth remains, one is safer riding a bicycle in the city than getting behind the wheel of a vehicle — just make sure you have good front and rear lights (and back-ups in case they run out of power before you get to your destination), and the more reflective features you can wear, the better. But you don’t have to run or bike to get exercise. Walking is wonderfully low impact and allows you to savour the sights and smells even more than driving. The key is to identify a routine that will work with your weekly schedule. That way, regardless of the weather, you have packed your gear and off you go. When my workplace did not have showers, I would either save my active commute for the return home or I would cycle to work until the big hill, catching the bus for the last segment. Using Metro Vancouver’s bicycle maps (translink.ca/ en/Getting-Around/Cycling/ Cycling-Maps.aspx), I have discovered hidden jewels off the beaten track — neighbourhoods that nurture their heritage character, pockets of garden oases — all the while enjoying the distinctive smells and sounds of the changing seasons: the sweetness of cherry blossoms, the growing chorus of bird song. When you arrive home, you will likely feel refreshed, not exhausted, and inspired to eat extra well, knowing your body has earned it. By incorporating active commuting in your weekly routine, you will not only save money on gas and vehicle wear-and-tear but, also, the environment, your mind, body and soul will thank you, not to mention your family, friends and the neighbourhood. Need a push to start your own active commute on two wheels? May 25 to 31 is Bike to Work Week. Visit bikehub.ca/ bike-to-work for information and to register.

‘craft beer geeks’ thriving in PoMo Plenty of business to go around for PoMo brewers
“We’re all really friendly, we try to help each other out as much as possible and, honestly, there’s way more business than any one of us can handle.”
Lukasz Jonca

T
he more the merrier could be the motto for Murray Street’s mini mecca of craft beer breweries, as a third brewery is set to open in Port Moody this summer. Twin brothers Cody and Clay Allmin are opening Twin Sails Brewing in an area that is starting to become a cozy little beer hub and already boasts Moody Ales and Yellow Dog Brewing. Both of those companies, which opened last year, have enjoyed early success. Moody recently applied for a lounge licence that would allow them to pour full pints for customers, host private parties and stay open later. One of the reasons Murray Street is becoming a craft beer destination is that the municipality has different regulations from those in some other cities, including Coquitlam, which doesn’t allow beer to made and sold, or provided for tastings, on the same site, said Adam Crandall, co-owner of Moody Ales. For him and partner Dan Helmer, it was a big part of their decision on where to locate. And the two are looking forward to seeing more breweries in the area. “We’re craft beer geeks, too, and so it doesn’t matter that they’re quote-unquote competition, they’ve got a new beer we just want to try it,” Crandall said. “We’re all really friendly, we try to help each other out as much as possible and, honestly, there’s way more business than any one of

in the planning stage for a year and a half and the Allmin brothers say it has been a difficult endeavour and much more in depth than either imagined. Cody Allmin has experience in the alcohol service industry while Clay Allmin is an operations manager with Loblaws. “Having guys like Adam, Dan and Mike [Coghill] over at Yellow Dog to help support us in this process has just been amazing because they’ve been such a good resource for us,” Cody Allmin said. “That’s what I love about the brewing com-
munity — everyone wants to help and we’re one big, happy family.”
Port Moody has been looking at transitioning the Murray Street area from heavy indus-
trial to light industrial because of the changes in population growth and the proximity to the park. It’s a great place for retail and consumer based business, said Mayor Mike Clay. The mayor can sometimes be seen enjoying one of his favourite brews at Yellow Dog Brewing or Moody Ales with his K-9 companion Stanley. “I think the smoked porter, either Yellow Dog or Moody Ales, they are both great beers that I never imagined I would like.” Clay said in an email.

TECHNOLOGY & EDUCATION
Pinetree event aimed at getting girls into tech Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
O
ut of 90 students in Pinetree teacher Jon Hamlin’s Information and Communication Technology Course, seven are girls. Is that a problem? The Coquitlam secondary school teacher thinks so and so do career resource teachers, industry leaders and many others across North America. Too many girls think tech is boring and uncreative, and they are staying away from high school courses that teach these increasingly valuable IT skills. But tech’s geeky image is inaccurate, say Grade 10 and 11 students who spoke to The Tri-City News about why they are taking technology courses at their high school. According to these girls, studying the intricate workings of a computer or learning how to program using code is creative and satisfying, and shouldn’t be left to video game-obsessed boys. “It is creative,” said Dolly Dodari, a Grade 11 student, “but people don’t see the connection between the hardware and the processes we use every day.” For these students, who are learning networking basics by taking Pinetree’s Cisco Networking Academy Training, computers are amazingly simple, and binary code — the combinations of 0 and 1 that tell a computer what to do — is dif-
SHARE
DRUG ED. SERIES There are two sessions left in Share Alcohol and Drug Program’s free weekly education series. The program is open to everyone in the community and will offer important information for those who have an alcohol or drug problem, or for those concerned about their use. It will help those people affected by others’ use, to understand addicts and addictive behaviour. Sessions run Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Share, second floor, 2615 Clarke St., Port Moody and topics will vary from week to week as outlined below, with the format consisting of a video, a brief presentation and open discussion. • April 22: Substance affected: How others misuse of alcohol and drugs affects us. How to help others. • May 6: Stage II Recovery — Life in the Future. For more information, phone 604-9363900.

Left: Students in Pinetree secondary school’s technology courses are helping to promote the school’s first Girls in ICT Day, taking place April 23 in the school library. Above: Technology teacher Jon Hamlin organized the conference for female middle and high school students to meet women with successful tech careers. ficult to figure out but, once you do, it’s fun and can be applied in many ways. Though only three of the seven are learning coding, all the girls say they have enjoyed the technology course and may pursue a career in tech one day. Hamlin is surprised that so few girls want to study ICT, saying, “They always, without exception, perform at the top of the class.” But he’s not prepared to accept that so few girls are interested in this field. In fact, he has made it a personal mission to break the stigma. On Thursday,
Pinetree will hold its first Girls in ICT Day, an afternoon of lunch, learning and networking with women who have successful careers in technology. The April 23 event, running from 1 to 3 p.m. in the school library, is open to School District 43 girls aged 13 to 18. Ten female business leaders, including representatives from UBC and SFU, Microsoft and Hootsuite will share their experiences. The informal afternoon will feature a questionand-answer session, focused group discussions and time to connect with potential future
mentors over a free lunch. “This is an opportunity to share their stories with students,” he commented. “I want them [students] to have contacts and look at a way to move forward.” The event is taking place on International Girls in ICT Day and the Computer Using Educators of B.C. is sponsoring it, Hamlin said. SD43 teachers are being asked to encourage their students to participate. Visit girlsinict.ca for more information. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
WHAT’S HAPPENING THURSDAY Girls in ICT Day takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 23 in the Pinetree secondary school library. The program is open to girls in middle and high school who might be interested in a career in technology. To register, visit www.girlsinict.ca.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
West Coast modern in vibrant South Surrey
B
reeze, an award winning townhome community by Adera Development, blurs the lines between the outdoors and indoors by reflecting West Coast living at its best. According to vice president of marketing and sales, Eric Andreasen, that means incorporating the convenience of a suburban lifestyle in the heart of what makes B.C. so beautiful: nature.
The three-storey townhomes in the heart of South Surrey are suitable for professional couples, young families and downsizers alike. “It’s in a superb location, just a couple of minutes from Morgan Crossing Lifestyle Center, shopping galore, access to beaches, the border is a stone’s throw away, you can easily get downtown to watch a hockey game, and yet, the outdoors are all around you with plenty of nearby trails,” he says. For Breeze, it’s also about bringing that beauty and space indoors by having the kind of layout that suits a variety of lifestyles without feeling cramped or closed-in. “It’s all efficient, open spaces, that gives people a real sense of home,” says Andreasen. Two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes are built with lasting style in mind, using modern architecture that reflects elements of the great outdoors. That’s why Breeze is rooted in a philosophy that celebrates the use of natural materials, including cedar detailing and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that let the outside, in. When walking into a Breeze home, guests will notice clean designs with sustainability in
mind, like the motion activated light switches, while large, open kitchen spaces and dining islands made of granite/quartz are perfect for gathering friends and family. “The cool thing is that you can modify anything,” says Andreasen, speaking of the unique function that allows buyers to customize their space. “Our personalization program, i.D. By Me offers a long list of customizable options. You don’t just get color choice A or B, you get to pick from a general color variations, alterations and upgrades – it makes the cookie cutter disappear from personal space.” i.D. By Me gives homebuyers the chance to be their own interior designer and ensure that Breeze is more than just a home – it’s a creation. From upgraded appliances in the kitchen, heated floors in the bathroom, or built in organizers throughout the home, Adera’s personalization
Breeze is a showcase for West Coast modern inspired architecture: clean, extended lines and planes, elegant & simple forms, and contemporary style.
Large, open kitchen spaces and dining islands to gather with family and friends for at-home socializing.
program offers a variety of choices and changes that can be made to fit any lifestyle, personality or budget. The West Coast Club is a stand-alone amenity
that serves as a 3,700 sq. ft social space and wellness center. There is a wide range of exercise equipment, a yoga room, infrared sauna and change room with shower, as well as a large chef ’s kitchen and expansive outdoor covered patios for entertainment. “You can meet your friends at the West Coast Club to sit and chat, turn on the TV in lounge, enjoy the gigantic outdoor deck with
a fireplace, relax, cook and have a couple of drinks at sunset,” says Andreasen. Homes at Breeze start in the low $300’s with less than 8 homes remaining. “We just released the gems of the crowd: our display homes,” he says. “They are the crème de la crème because they are designed to look as good as they possibly can.” The Sales Centre is open daily from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at #11 – 16223 23A Avenue in South Surrey.

The Coquitlam MetroFord Aftershock are gearing up for the quarterfinals in B.C. Coastal Cup play after defeating the North Shore Thunder 3-2 in overtime last week. Coquitlam took the lead early with a goal from Alexa Nielsen, but North Shore tied up before the first intermission. In the second half, the Thunder took the lead but a late Coquitlam goal from Olivia Gallina tied up the game. That set the stage for Chanelle Prestia’s overtime heroics, when she knocked in a goal with a couple minutes left in extra time. Linnea Wong, Vanessa Porretti, Rosina Gallaccio and Elyssa Ricci all had strong games on defence. The team is now gearing up for a quarterfinal match that will take place this weekend.

Mackin, Supinski named BCHL all-stars Mackin takes league MVP & top BCHL scorer Gary MCKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
Two Coquitlam Express forwards have been named 1st team all stars by the B.C. Hockey League. Forwards Corey Mackin and Brett Supinski were selected after league officials cast their ballots before the Fred Page
Cup began last week. Mackin led the BCHL in regular season scoring, racking up 50 goals and 54 assists in 58 games this year. Meanwhile, rookie Supinski was second in overall scoring with 48 goals and 50 assists. Supinski was also selected for the BCHL all-rookie team. The pair had a strong season this year but could not knock off the Chilliwack Chiefs in the first-round of the playoffs last month. Coquitlam fell to the Fraser Valley squad in five games.
Last month, both Supinski and Mackin received league honours. Mackin was given the Verne Dye Memorial trophy for most valuable player, while Supinski snared the Bruce Allison Memorial Trophy as the rookie of the year. Teammate Daniel Fritz was a finalist for the defenceman of the year honours. In non-voting awards, Mackin won the Brett Hull trophy for being the top scorer. The BCHL is currently holding its annual Fred Page Cup to determine the best team in the
junior ‘A’ hockey league. The best-of-seven series is currently locked in a 2-2 tie between the Nanaimo Clippers and the Penticton Vees, however Game 5 was scheduled for Thursday evening at the South Okanagan Events Centre after The Tri-City News’ deadline. Coquitlam hockey fans will have to wait until the fall before they see their Express take the ice at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
