BIG RIG DILEMMA

Parking heavy haulers poses complex challenges, including land use issues, bylaw infractions and public controversy Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

rucks are an essential component of the economy. From gravel and groceries, to stereos and steel beams, virtually every item on a store shelf or construction site arrived there by truck. Heavy haulers also carry some hefty issues – with one of the most complex occurring when the wheels stop turning. Parking those big rigs can create

challenges for operators, neighbours and municipalities. Trucks – whether based in Abbotsford or just passing through – need room to rest, and this is a region where space is increasingly regulated and in ever-short supply. In Abbotsford, there were more than 5,000 registered big rigs in 2013, up from about 4,000 in 2009. Where those trucks and their trailers park creates a multitude of issues – requiring the efforts of many parties to address.

Trucks continue to be parked illegally on agricultural land, creating environmental contamination concerns and animosity among those who respect city regulations and expect them to be enforced. While truckers are looking for convenient, affordable and secure parking, the concept of allowing trucks to park on residential property repeatedly meets with stiff opposition from neighbourhoods, while street parking of semi-trailer units in Continued on A4

parking in ALR

In 2012, 407 tickets were written by city authorities specific to truck parking in city-designated agricultural zones, according to information obtained by The News under a Freedom of Information request. In 2013, that number was 148. In the provincially designated Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), 30 properties were in violation of commercial vehicle parking regulations in 2013, and 92 related fines were issued. Six of those properties were repeat offenders. In 2014, there were 24 ALR properties in violation and 58 related fines, with two repeat offenders. The fine for unauthorized vehicles in agricultural zones or unauthorized parking is $250. Currently, there are two nonfarm use applications to allow for truck parking in Abbotsford awaiting review by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). In May of last year, owners of a property on Mt. Lehman Road asked council to send their submission to the ALC for approval to use a two-acre portion of a five-acre parcel to continue to operate a farm equipment and truck/trailer repair business. The city’s bylaw enforcement division has responded to 14 complaints since April 2008 regarding the unauthorized use of that property. In October 2012, a bylaw officer noted more than 34 trucks were parked on the property – instead of the allowed two. Also, several business licence infractions were recorded regarding unauthorized activities on the land. Another property owner has requested similar approval to continue operating truck parking related to the owners’ transportation business. Bylaw enforcement had recorded 12 complaints since August 2006 regarding the property’s unauthorized use as truck parking. Ultimately, council voted to forward the requests to the ALC for review, but with their suggestion to the commission that the proposals be denied.

park overnight on some industrial area roads. Councillors were concerned there were not enough bylaw officers to ensure drivers didn’t take advantage of the on-street parking. Council did approve recommendations to fast-track applications for new truck parking facilities, and allow use of some gravel pits for the purpose. Braun said there has been progress on providing parking, including an increase in industrial rezoning applications for legal lots, with more currently going through the rezoning process, but he acknowledges illegal parking remains a current concern. Louise Yako, president and CEO of the BC Trucking Association, agrees that there is a lack of commercial parking available in the Lower Mainland and “the further east you go in the Fraser Valley, the worse the situation.” She says the situation can be the result of municipal zoning decisions, as truck lots often generate lower property tax revenues. And with little land available for industrial or light industrial purposes in many communities, property owners are often interested in investments that bring in a higher profit than parking lots. The association takes the position that trucks should be parked in secure facilities designed for that purpose, but it also notes “there aren’t very many options available if you aren’t part of a large truck fleet.” Chamber of Commerce executive director Allan Asaph said now is an opportune time for Abbotsford to allocate space to address commercial truck parking needs, as the city is currently developing a new official community plan (OCP), which outlines future development and land use. Asaph added that if parking is far from where truckers live, there also have to be transportation options available to drivers to get to and from their rigs. He said it’s important for a city plan to focus on what makes a strong business community and to “be more strategic about how to locate things so they work together.” Last month, B.C. Minister of Transportation Todd Stone noted the serious shortage of parking and staging areas for trucks across the Lower Mainland, and announced that the province is aiming to establish new facilities. He said Victoria was exploring a number of potential locations south of the Fraser for short-term parking facilities between Abbotsford and Delta to improve efficiency and reduce congestion. For Dickey, solving the problem of accommodating trucks is a necessity. “If you’re not wanting trucks in your neighbourhood, quit buying stuff … Everything comes into the Lower Mainland by a truck.”

Event on homelessness Vibrant Abbotsford and the B.C. Poverty Coalition present a program called “The Mayor Who Ended Homelessness” on Tuesday, April 28.

An Abbotsford man is out almost $2,000 after falling victim to a phone scam in which the caller, purporting to be from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, threatened him with deportation. Const.

He was instructed to purchased preloaded credit cards and wait for a call back. The conversation took place in both English and Punjabi.

School district uses surplus, cuts to make up shortfall

Staff proposes $1.1M in cuts to schools’ discretionary funding The Abbotsford School District is planning to dip into its accumulated surplus while chopping discretionary spending at schools to make up a $3.6-million budgetary shortfall, trustees heard Tuesday. Staff presented a preliminary budget which will see $1.73 million of spending cuts, and around $375,000 of projected revenue increases. That leaves a shortfall of around $1.5 million, which will be covered by the district’s accumulated surplus. Trustees expect to vote on the budget at a May 5 meeting. Most of the proposed cuts will come from a $1.1-million reduction in discretionary spending allocations to schools and other departments. It will then be up to individual schools to decide how to spend a smaller pot of money than they received last year. Other spending cuts will

funding the province’s “Next Generation Network” initiative, which aims to improving internet service in schools around the province. The rest of the shortfall – about $1 million – is due to a range of escalating expenses, the largest of which is teacher salaries, which increased by about $600,000 over the previous year. School board chair Cindy Schafer said trustees and staff have tried not to “gouge any one program” in making the cuts. “We don’t want things to impact classrooms,” she said. Schafer hopes the board won’t be facing a similar task next year, when a second round of government-ordered cuts will force the district to shave an additional $900,000. She warned that “At some point, you’ve skimmed off everything you can.”

Fraud sentence Wow ... honestly these charges are so stupid. I don’t understand how this warrants any of the penalties this APD member is facing. To every party concerned, this couple was in a common-law relationship from the date in 2011 and the only reason they were unable to reside together until a short while later was as stated – his mom said no! Stephanie Norbury Truly sad that he still is able to represent our police force. Cliff Roy I fully agree with Stephanie. He should have had to repay the money and maybe discuss this with a counsellor at the most, but charges and the loss of his job, that’s just ridiculous. Maureen Thompson He should not be able to be a police officer again. Norma Chiswell

letters Present voting system has advantages Shane Dyson’s April 10 letter deserves a response. He calls our voting system “inherently wrong” because percentage voter support is not reflected in percentage of elected representatives. Presumably, he prefers voting for a party’s national list with percentage support determining percentage of representatives. Our present system, although imperfect, has many advantages. Residents have a Member of Parliament who is accountable to that constituency and willingly helps all constituents. MPs know that if they don’t do that, they may be defeated. Also, our system typically produces stability, even with coalitions, which are rare. The national list system, with its proportional representation, is seriously flawed. First, there are no accountable local MPs. Second, in all countries with such a system, governments are typically multi-party coalitions and often unstable. Third, many minor parties still elect no one. Fourth, minor parties

NOW OPEN!

whether in opposition or part of a coalition, cannot really influence policies. In its 2014 election, Indonesia had 23 parties, it had 44 in 2009. None of the 10 elected parties could implements its policies. In 2013, Italian voters faced 40 political parties; 15 elected legislators. The result today is an unstable coalition. In Canada a totally democratic list system would likely be very problematic. With 338 MPs to be elected in October, any party garnering 1/338 or 3/10ths of one per cent could elect an MP. We might easily have 40 parties representing regions, provinces, cities, ethnic groups, religious groups, professions, etc. Under our present system parties tend to be moderate to aggregate many votes. Given totally democratic proportional representation, parties cater to special interests in order to get support. For a huge country already facing numerous divisions and cleavages, this would be disastrous. John H. Redekop, Abbotsford

After consideration on how to proceed with the city’s economic development function, council has approved plans for a model that combines elements of both inhouse and arms-length operations. The model is similar to Surrey’s inhouse economic development function but not like the Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC), which is a land development corporation, said Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun. The economic development department helps businesses connect with information and resources about business retention and expansion within Abbotsford, as well as providing information for businesses looking to set up in Abbotsford. Council also approved Braun and Couns. Sandy Blue, Kelly Chahal and Brenda Falk as members of a committee to support initiatives for business innovation, growth and attraction. “This model also provides us with ultimate flexibility – we have the option to move to an arms-length model in the future if the circumstances and priorities shift that way without having put an investment in an organization that we cannot get back,” said Braun.

Ukrainian Cultural Festival returns May 2 The 20th annual BC Ukrainian Cultural Festival takes place Saturday, May 2 at the Clarke Theatre in Mission. The annual festival will involve 300 performers in troupes from areas including Mission, Abbotsford, Surrey, Richmond, Kamloops, Vernon and Prince George. “When we started this 20 years ago, we never dreamed that it would grow this large,” said Gladys Andreas, originator of the festival. “When the Hopak comes on, the festival theatre is standing room only.” Andreas, who has been recognized nationally and internationally for her contribution to Ukrainian culture in Canada, will be the official “hospodynia” (hostess) for this year’s event. She and her Ukrainian Prairie Band will be one of several musical group performing at various locations throughout the venue. The festival will feature dances, colourful costumes, live music, booths with Ukrainian arts and crafts, and a kitchen serving Ukrainian food. “It is the showcase for Ukrainian culture in British Columbia,” said Nathan Nychyporuk, president of the BC Ukrainian Cultural Festival Society and chair of the festival organizing committee.

Hundreds of parents from schools on Abbotsford’s west side attended a joint Abbotsford Police Department–School District forum to learn about issues being caused by crime and violence in their area. The forum addressed the problems of gangs in the Fraser Valley, and the role that parents can take to steer their kids away from such a lifestyle. Superintendent Kevin Godden urged parents to connect with their schools when they are having difficulties with their children, noting "Kids have a greater chance of being successful when their families work with the schools.” APD Const. Charn Kingra (pictured) and Howe Middle VP Jasbir Singh co-moderated the evening

Fraser Valley Science Fair Results Over 75 awards were handed out to students from 12 schools in Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, and Langley at the annual Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair, held in early April at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford.

Sockeye overfishing risks salmon future: critics Group says salmon conservation taking back seat to catch

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Conservationists say federal fishery managers allowed serious overfishing of Fraser River sockeye salmon last summer and too few fish spawned as a result. And they say a continued policy of allowing overly aggressive commercial fishing threatens to wallop vulnerable salmon runs again this summer. Last year saw a large run of 20 million sockeye but Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Aaron Hill said the number that actually spawned ended up 1.4 million below the target of 7.3 million set by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The spawning shortfall would have been nearly three million or 41 per cent below the target had fishermen taken all the sockeye they’d been allocated. “Big catches were obviously the big priority for our federal government, not prudent management,” Hill said. The endangered Cultus Lake sockeye and Interior coho runs were among the stocks that fell dangerously short of their spawning targets last year, he said, raising doubts about the strength of future generations. Salmon from weak runs return intermingled with the strong stocks and can get hammered as an unintended bycatch unless fishing is carefully restrained to ensure conservation. Last year DFO riled First Nations and conservationists when it quadrupled the maximum catch by Canadian fishermen of the coho run

– from four per cent in previous years to 16 per cent – effectively sacrificing more threatened coho so abundant sockeye could be caught. This year’s fishing plan would maintain the same higher limits set last year. Hill said that’s a bad idea, since this year’s sockeye run is projected to be lower at around seven million and environmental conditions appear troubling. “They can’t even get it right in years of good abundance,” Hill said. “This year we’re looking at a massive unprecedented warming event in the north Pacific, record low snowpacks and concerns about marine productivity in general. It’s too risky.” A large pink salmon run is also expected this year and there’s growing evidence that competition from pinks for food at sea is hurting sockeye survival. Hill accused fishery managers of putting industry first, in contravention of government policy that conservation of wild salmon is the top priority ahead of all user groups. Stu Cartwright, DFO’s acting area director for the B.C. Interior, defended DFO’s plans, adding they are carefully designed to manage stocks in a way that supports conservation and sustainability while maximizing fishing opportunities for First Nations, commercial and recreational fisheries. Bob McKamey, vice-president of the Area E Gillnetters Association, dismissed the objections from Watershed Watch. “It wouldn’t matter what the fishing plan

is, they have a kneejerk reaction to the commercial fishing industry in general,” he said.

McKamey said last year’s fishery was well managed and there was “ample evidence” to support the

reduced protection for weak stocks. In previous years, he said, too many sockeye were allowed

to spawn, creating excessive competition among juveniles. “There was no end of evidence to indi-

Construction investment declines in first quarter Investment in nonresidential business construction declined 18 per cent in the first quarter of 2015, to $32 million, from the previous quarter, according to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. Spending on commercial buildings was down 8.5 per cent to $14.9 million, while industrial building investment slumped 12.6 per cent to $11.2 million. Much of the overall decline was due to a 40 per cent decrease in “institutional-governmental building investment.” While the numbers were down from the last quarter of 2014, they are still ahead of figures from the first half of last year. Metro Vancouver, meanwhile, saw a slight rise in spending.

Second Battle of Ypres remembered Ceremony held in Abbotsford for 100th anniversary

An Abbotsford man is holding a quiet ceremony on Friday to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Second Battle of Ypres in the First World War. John Durham invites anyone interested to attend the ceremony today (Friday) at 7 p.m. at Thunderbird Memorial Square on Veterans Way behind city hall.

Durham’s father, Edwin, fought in the war, starting at the age of 19. On Aug. 20, 1914, he was one of 76 Canadian men who left for Valcartier, Que. for six weeks of military training before leaving for England and more training. At the beginning of April 1915, Canadian soldiers were ordered to relieve French forces in the Ypres salient

in Belgium. A salient is the portion of a battle line that projects out from the rest of the line and is difficult to defend, being exposed on three sides. The Canadians improved and extended the trenches, working at night to avoid sniper fire. On April 22, the enemy released chlorine gas, which drifted

over the French-held trenches to their left. The French abandoned their positions, leaving the Canadian left flank unprotected. Private Edwin Durham was part of the Canadian Second Battalion that was rushed to fill the abandoned positions in the face of the advancing German infantry. On April 24, the

Germans mounted a concentrated attack to take the salient, again using poison gas and a heavy bombardment of artillery. The Canadians, although outflanked and outnumbered, held fast and counterattacked to stall the German advance. Some 6,000 lives were lost in total, including 544 from the 1,000-man Second Battalion. Edwin was wounded twice. He was found by the Germans, and taken to hospital. Once his wounds were healed, Edwin was sent to a prisoner war camp at Stendal, Germany. He was there for his 21st birthday and for the duration of the war. At the ceremony in

In just several weeks, residents in Abbotsford, Mission and beyond will be lacing up their runners and hitting the track in an effort to fight cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is a 12-hour fundraising event – taking place in Abbotsford June 13 – that encourages community members to come together for a

common cause. According to Jennifer Schroeder, community giving co-ordinator for the CCS BC & Yukon Division, the relay is comprised of three “pillars.” The first is to celebrate cancer survivors, as well as those battling cancer and their caregivers, and includes a victory lap to kick off the event. The second includes a luminary ceremony to remember loved ones

who have passed away from the disease. And the third is to fight back against the disease and put an end to suffering and loss caused by cancer. “We want to see every single person that is touched by cancer be a survivor,” Schroeder said. “That is our ultimate goal.” While there are often plenty of tears at various Relay for Life events around the province, Schroeder

said the atmosphere is also jovial and positive. “The event itself is very uplifting and fun,” she said, noting there is live music, food and games on hand. “Most people are laughing and having a good time.” This year’s event takes place between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. at Rotary Stadium. Last year, more than 10,500 Relay For Life participants in B.C. and the Yukon raised $3.5 million for the Canadian Cancer

Society. Schroeder encouraged anyone interested in trying the relay out to visit www.relayforlife.ca/whiterock or email whiterockrelay@ bc.cancer.ca to find out more about this ‘inspirational’ event. “It’s an amazing feeling to be there and to know that you’re making a difference within your community, within B.C. and across Canada, knowing that we’re all together in the fight to make a change.”

Manpreet Grewal, Director of Immigrant Integration Services.

Impacting people on a positive level Integration Services at Abbotsford Community Services (ACS), her work has allowed her to have a positive impact on the lives of many. She says her friends would most likely describe her as “warm with a sense of humour, sincere, hardworking and bright with a lot of integrity,” and it’s easy to see why. Her role has put her in a position to do meaningful work, and she doesn’t take that responsibility lightly. “Several years ago, a victim of ek We Travel Deal of the PE RO violence who had come and got our EU 7 NIGHT TERWAYS AVALON WA help at ACS met me a couple of years DEPARTS MARCH 22, 2016 EEarn up tto later and told me that she would Cdn PP if booked by have walked in front of a train had Aeroplan June 23/15 Miles! from she not walked through our doors ngers start from $2363 passe s brand of ly Fami s Past Globu and receive free gratuities. the day she did,” says Grewal. “Sometimes we do not know the B.C. reg 3056-4 extent of the impact our interaction 604.855.3773 • 103-1975 McCallum Rd www.cruiseshipcenters.com/faydavis has had on someone’s life.” Everyone has a different idea of what the “key” is to a happy life.

How to eat properly after 50 As people age, their dietary needs begin to change. Foods that were once staples of your diet as a youth may be restricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have always avoided may now be necessary to fuel and support a healthy body. Eating healthy foods and exercising may not be enough to sustain health, as hormonal changes and other health effects as a person reaches age 50 can have a profound impact on his or her nutritional requirements. The following are a few things men and women over 50 may want to consider as they look to eat a healthy diet for years to come. Vitamin D Both men and women age 50 and up have a reduced ability to produce vitamin D through exposure to the sun. Extra vitamin D will be needed from foods and supplements. Everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU (10 Îźg), according to Canadaâ€™s Food Guide. Without adequate vitamin D, bone strength and health can deteriorate because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Vitamin D also has other roles, including helping neuromuscular and immune

function and reducing inflammation. Friendly fats People over age 50 should increase their intake of unsaturated fats and reduce consumption of saturated fats. Nutrient-rich unsaturated fats can guard against heart conditions, protect against stroke, keep skin supple, and even help men and women maintain good neurological health. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, olives, seeds, and fatty fishes. Increase protein According to Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as they age, men and women need more protein in their diets to maintain their muscle mass. The amount of protein needed at a younger age no longer may be adequate. Look for lean sources of protein from fish and poultry. Beans are also a lowfat source of protein that can help fulfill daily protein requirements. More fiber Eating more fiber can help with digestive and intestinal problems, such as constipation. Constipation can occur when fiber intake is not enough, coupled with a more

More water As a person ages, his or her body may not signal it is thirsty as well as it once did, so itâ€™s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehydrated. The Mayo Clinic recommends around nine to 10 cups of beverages per day to remain hydrated. Eating healthy and changing oneâ€™s diet is important as a person ages, as dietary needs at age 50 may be quite different from what they were at age 30.

Cruise with style and elegance It’s no secret that river cruising is growing in popularity – every day we have clients asking for advice and suggestions! Most river cruisers have sailed on big ships and tell us that on a river cruise they love the intimacy of fewer than 200 passengers, that you don’t have to walk far to get to your cabin, that you dock in the heart of town and that you can stroll off and on the ship when you wish. There are other differences too. Most river cruise ships have two or three dining options, and you will enjoy the fact that the rivers are so calm there’s never the chance of seasickness and the inclusions are generous! France is a natural for river cruising, with

Air and water can get into the A/C system which can reduce it’s efficiency and can lead to corrosion or fungus, mold and bacteria growth that is blown into the passenger area.

An innocent evening out a couple of months ago to see a movie at a local theatre, resulted in an impromptu, late night Timmy's stop for a coffee. Looks like it paid off with a shiny set of new wheels!

MINI is bringing a completely new meaning to driving glasses. At the Shanghai Auto show, the BMW sub-brand has offered first sight of its revolutionary eyewear. “MINI Augmented Vision gives an insight into how intelligent connectivity between a MINI car and eyewear into which relevant content is projected might work in the future,” explained Dr. Jörg Preißinger, projectmanager MINI Augmented Vision, BMW Group research and technology. “Working with several Qualcomm companies, we have created an interlinked system and augmented reality eyewear with

a characteristic MINI design that revolutionize the experience both in and outside the vehicle. This prototype with its customized, interactive functions succeeds in fusing augmented reality with the brand’s trademark sense of lifestyle.” Using see-through technology, the eyewear projects information in the driver’s direct field of view without concealing other traffic. “We are proud to have helped develop a breakthrough augmented reality interface between eyewear and the automobile,” said Jay Continued on page 39

High tech glasses offers a look into the future

Wright, Vice President, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. “MINI Augmented Vision offers a compelling example of what’s possible today, and what we can expect in the future.” The technology will enable drivers to enter destination details outside of the car then transfer the information to the on-board navigation.

The navigation will then display from the current location to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the final destination. Direction instructions in the shape of coloured arrows will appear projected on the road ahead at the turns. Current speed and posted speed limits will be projected into the driver’s field of view above the steering wheel, without obscuring the road ahead. A small icon shows in the eyewear when a message is received and the SMS message can then be read out by the “car”. Now this is an amazing feature: A virtual view through parts of the vehicle (such as A-pillars and doors) makes visible external areas or objects concealed by the car’s body parts! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mother. Born in Ratcliffe, Saskatchewan in 1926 she grew up on the farm with five siblings. She became a school teacher until she met her husband Stan and they started married life in Radville, SK, having three children; Warren, Marcella and Nancy. The family relocated to Abbotsford, BC in the late 60’s. Ella found herself single in the 70’s and started her own catering business at the Skyline Club located at the Abbotsford Airport. She remained a very active part of the community, catering to weddings, graduations and to the club’s membership. Ella remarried Norman Arseneault and had many happy years in Abbotsford. She loved playing Bingo and was always up for a game of cards. The last decade she resided at the Menno Home and Cottage facility in Abbotsford. Her last year was spent in the Dr. Andrew Pavillion in Summerland, BC which placed her close to family members. She was given excellent care at these facilities and we would like to sincerely thank the staff for their loving care and kindness. She was blessed with many grandchildren and great grandchildren. At Ella’s request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the South Okanagan, Similkameen Medical Foundation, at the Dr. Andrew Pavilion Activity Department, 12815 Atkinson Road, Summerland, BC V0H 1Z0.

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of Sheila Foote on April 3rd, 2015. Sheila was an amazing, charismatic and unique woman who lived a life full of love. She is predeceased by her father and mother Scott and Jean Foote. She is survived by her partner and husband Dennis Bissegger; her son Thuja Knox (Shelly), and daughters Rozene Knox (Craig), Morgan Bissegger (Dylan) and Kelsey Bissegger. She will be lovingly remembered by her two grandsons, one granddaughter, four sisters, two brothers and many dear friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: http://causewecare.org. A celebration in Sheila’s honour will be held at the Deroche Community Hall on May 2nd from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

Wilma Versteeg (nee Jongsma) was born on July 24, 1956 in Smithers, British Columbia to John and Alice Jongsma. She passed away peacefully on April 7, 2015 after a lengthy battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband Cornelis, her mother Alice, her sister Florence (Gary), her brother Harvey (Sharon), her two daughters Jolene and Janice (Jon), her son Jared, and by her grandchildren Brooklynn and Mackenzie. Wilma spent her final days at Christine Morrison Hospice, where she was regularly visited by family members and friends. We are deeply grateful to all the staff who lovingly cared for our mother. A memorial service was held on April 13, 2015 at Gateway Community Christian Reformed Church.

Eleanor Eleanor (Ele) Anthonysz, 33, of Mission, BC was tragically taken from her family and friends on Friday, April 17, 2015. Ele was born on January 1, 1982, to Carole Watson and Glenn Anthonysz Jr. She is survived by her greatest treasures in life, her children Isabel and Jacob Lucak, her brother Michael Anthonysz, sister Melissa Cadsand (David), step mother Ine Anthonysz, step sister Chandra-Leah Phillips (Dan Miron), niece ScarletPaige, her children’s father Mike Lucak as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends. Predeceased by her Opa, Glen Anthonysz Sr. and grandparents Gordon and Mary Watson. Ele had an undeniable zest for life and did whatever made her soul happy. She had a passion for cooking and prepared food that fed your spirit. Ele loved the outdoors and spending weekends hiking and camping with her kids. Her warm smile and generous nature touched the lives of all who knew her, and she will be sadly missed. A Celebration of Ele’s life will be held on Saturday April 25, 2015 at 5799 Riverside Rd, Matsqui, BC at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to Ele’s children are greatly appreciated and accepted at www.gofundme.com/sd588w A favourite quote of Ele’s: “Love all, Trust a few, Do wrong to none”. Shakespeare
