Sears to shut down

Burnaby beefs up security in parks

Two stores will close after year-long attempt to reinvent itself and attract more customers

New measures would include bike patrols and more cameras in parks and public spaces

Burnaby’s retail landscape will look a lot different next year. Sears Canada has received approval from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to close all of its remaining brick and mortar locations, including two department stores in Burnaby. For more than a year, the company has been trying to reinvent itself to bring in more customers, but its efforts haven’t succeeded. “Despite the outstanding efforts of dedicated associates across the company, Sears Canada does not have the financial resources to provide it with the time necessary to complete its reinvention,” read a press release from the company. Included in the closures are Burnaby’s Brentwood Town Centre and Metropolis at Metrotown stores. Currently, the Brentwood store employs 99 people, 80 of whom are part-time, while Metrotown has 122 workers (81 are parttime). The company has until Jan. 22, 2018 to sell all of its remaining inventory, including furniture, fixtures and equipment. Sales are expected to start this Thursday, Oct. 19, and last about 10 to 14 weeks, according to the release. Sears Canada first opened as Simpsons-Sears Ltd. in 1953. In June, Sears Canada received creditor protection so it could embark on a restructuring plan that included the closure of 20 fullline locations, 15 Sears home stores, 10 Sears outlets and 14 Sears hometown locations.The closures also resulted in Continued on page 5

Three months after the body of 13-year-old Marrisa Shen was found in Burnaby’s Central Park, the city has adopted a handful of measures to make parks and public places safer. At Monday night’s council meeting, city council approved – in principal – six safety tools, including bike patrols. The unit would be made up of bylaw enforcement officers in uniform. Staff are recommending the city launch the group as a one-year pilot project, with coverage in Central Park, Robert Burnaby Park and Burnaby Lake Park. (A quarter of Burnaby is made up of green space and parks.) Coun. Pietro Calendino, chair of the city’s public safety committee, told the NOW bike patrols will be “most effective.” “You see a person in uniform on a bike who can go faster than you, and you’re careful with what you’re doing,” he said. The City of Burnaby is also

City now A CLOSER LOOK

How will the Eagles gardens grow? By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Since the TLC left, the Eagles Estate gardens aren’t getting the TLC they once did. The grounds of the vacant, city-owned historic house built in 1929 overlooking the east end of Deer Lake are nowhere near as immaculate as they were when The Land Conservancy (TLC) of Canada was the home’s tenant. The organization, which aimed to preserve historic and environmentally sensitive properties in British Columbia, used to have its Lower Mainland regional office in the house. During its tenancy,TLC managed the property and hired a gardener to groom the grounds. The efforts of the gardeners and TLC volunteers resulted in magazine-worthy displays for park walkers to admire as they passed through. But in 2013, financial struggles forced TLC to move out and handed the keys to Eagles Estate, and the Arthur Erickson-designed Baldwin House just down the street, which TLC also took care of, back to the city. Both properties have been vacant since then. A walk-through of the Eagles grounds these days isn’t nearly as visually stimulating as it was a handful of years ago.The grass is cut, but it’s also burnt with persistent dandelions popping up.The flower beds are scraggly and overgrown full of dried-up branches, drooping flowers, and dead, unraked leaves. “It’s in our possession, we maintain it,” said Dave Ellenwood, director of Burnaby’s parks, recreation and cultural services department. “(TLC) had decided to maintain it to a certain standard, which they thought they could achieve. For us, it’s in the park inventory, and we maintain it, but we just can’t maintain it to the former standard.” Ellenwood said the city has many parks properties across the municipality that his department keeps up, and Eagles Estate is just one of them. “Deer Lake Park is a very large park. We have a lot of staff dedicated to working there. For that particular area it would tax our resources to increase the standard of care, especially to the point the TLC had been doing it. If someone is interested, we’re all ears,” said Ellenwood. He added the parks department has not been proactive in looking at what it could be used for until another tenant or use comes along. “We’re pretty satisfied with all the (parks facilities) we have right now. If an opportunity comes up, we would look closely at it,” said Ellenwood. Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s community heritage commission, said the issues aren’t pertinent to just Eagles. It also applies to Baldwin House and other historic homes the city has bought to stop them from being run over by a bulldozer.The city doesn’t “know what the heck to do with them,” said Jordan. “On the one hand, we would have no problem renting that house out for a very, nice cheque every month, but the whole concept is that this is now publicly owned and should be available for some sort of

SECRET GARDEN: The Eagles Estate at 5655 Sperling Ave. was built in 1929. Up until 2013, The Land Conservancy of Canada was renting the property and tending the gardens. Since then, the City of Burnaby has been trying to decide what to do with the property. PHOTOS JENNIFER GAUTHIER

What is it? Eagles Estate has a 1.6-acre garden designed by Canadian horticultural pioneer Frank Buck for the original owners Blythe and Violet Eagles. Blythe Eagles was dean of agriculture at the University of B.C. and was born and raised in New Westminster. UBC inherited the estate from the Eagles family and sold it to Burnaby in 1995. good public use. But then what is that use? What can they do that’s a good public use?” For instance, said Jordan, Baldwin House and a large, white historic home on the northwest corner of the lake, also owned by the city, are on septic systems. Other issues include fire safety codes. If other uses for the homes were to be found they would have to be improved to meet Burnaby bylaws. “We would have to spend a fortune on proper sewage facilities and things that would have to meet our rules for use of the place.That’s the conundrum we have,” said Jordan.

She said Eagles is occupied by a residential tenant who maintains the insides of Eagles and Baldwin.The tenant, however, isn’t required to take care of the grounds. “We have had on occasion volunteer garden groups that did that, but like everything else these days, there’s so many demands on people it’s really difficult to get people interested in taking on a commitment like that,” said Jordan. She added the city’s finance department has bandied around a few ideas about what to do with the properties – such as restaurant or bed and breakfast operations – but none that have come to fruition. She’s even asked other municipalities if they’ve found

other uses for their historical properties, and they’re just as stumped as Burnaby is. As someone who is passionate about heritage and gardening, Jordan said, it hurts to be in such a bind. “We would love to be able to find some kind of way that these places could have public access and could be the show palaces they should be. But then how much taxpayer dollars do you want to put into that? That’s the hard decisions and choices that we always have to make at council level. There’s a cost to all of it,” she said.

City now City exploring ways to make Central Park safer Continued from page 1 looking at installing security cameras at key access points in Central Park. “Recorded footage of these cameras will be used to provide law enforcement and investigators with a greater ability to gather potential evidence in the event that illegal activities take place within the park,” reads a staff report. The city currently monitors other outdoor areas such as frequent illegal dump sites and common areas in rec centres. Putting in a few call boxes is also being considered for Central Park.They’d be installed on a trial basis “to gauge their effectiveness and usefulness,” according to the report, and would be located at “heavily used locations.”They would provide a direct contact to 911 dispatch. “It’ll have GPS that lo-

cates exactly where they are so if the patrol person or the RCMP have to go, they know exactly where their location is.That’s a good thing,” said Calendino. Another deterrent on the city’s radar is a park closure bylaw.The bylaw would need to go through public consultations to identify certain parks and what specific areas should be closed at night. City staff will also review park signage to make sure it’s clear, visible and informative. New information kiosks were recently installed at Central Park at five key access points, notes the report.The goal is to expand this signage into the park’s interior and at other major parks in the future. Enhanced lighting at major trail heads is also being recommended.The report notes lighting remote areas can create a false sense

of security, but when used properly, illuminating areas that are monitored by residents or drivers can make those places safer. Asked if the safety measures are in response to Shen’s death, Calendino said staff have been working on the file for a number of years. “They had already done a lot of work; they just put it together (faster),” he said. At Monday’s meeting, Mayor Derek Corrigan said

I think this is an elegant set of solutions … despite these additional safety tools, people still need to be cautious and use their common sense. “I do not want anyone to think that this means you should go into isolated areas in parks alone, or that

It does not solve the problem, because the reality is that isolated places, particularly at night, can be dangerous.” A report outlining cost,

Opinion now OUR VIEW

No single reason for Sears demise

Sears Canada died this week. It might have survived greed or incompetence, but the 65-year-old Canadian institution was in no shape to cope with both. The companies’ woes began when hedge fund giant and controlling Sears Canada shareholder Edward Lampert divided the parent company into warring fiefdoms. A devotee of Ayn Rand, Lampert fuelled his company with pure self-

interest. Conservative commentator William F. Buckley once wrote that both Rand and her philosophy were dead. But Rand marches on, giving academic grounding to every captain of industry still nurturing their childhood dream of acquiring every toy in the sandbox. The end result is 12,000 people out of work, and some of those left jobless worked at Burnaby’s Brent-

...while Sears Canada may have hastened its own demise, it would be a mistake to examine its failure in a vacuum. wood store and Metropolis at Metrotown’s store. But while Sears Canada may have hastened its own demise, it would be a mis-

take to examine its failure in a vacuum. With Target and HMV faltering, Canada lost more than 30,000 jobs in elec-

tronics, appliance and general merchandise stores between 2012 and 2016. A few years ago, community activists and small businesses fought the incursion of big box stores. Some communities repelled brick and mortar behemoths, but there was no successful campaign against online retailers. Even shoppers who frequent farmers markets tend to be seduced by drone-de-

livered merchandise. The big box stores are invisible, but they’re here, just one click away. It doesn’t profit a customer to redeem a discount if it costs a community. As the holidays approach, consider the small operators who work here, pay taxes here and keep our economy afloat. And know that when you online shop, they drop.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Liberals face a rocky future As the B.C. Liberal leadership race lurches into action – the first candidates’ debate was this past weekend – it is worth remembering that such contests can be more divisive than not. And that is a particularly relevant point for the party to dwell on, as it can be more difficult to keep the “free enterprise coalition” intact when it is not in power. A number of party veterans I’ve talked to are somewhat worried about the party’s long-term prospects of stability. First of all, the leadership race will pit liberals against conservatives and put on display all the tension that exists between the two sides of the coalition. Then there are potential money problems.The party is in debt, and its days of attracting gobs of corporate cash are all but over. In a matter of days, only individuals will be able to contribute money to political parties, and those donations will be capped at just $1,200 a year.The fact is the NDP does far better with attracting smaller, individual donations.The B.C. Liberals have let this kind of fundraising slide because of the big money coming in from corporations.They are now trying to fix things, but it may a little late in the day to have much impact. Now, the NDP government has tabled legislation that gives political parties a taxpayer-funded subsidy (which would give the B.C. Liberals and the NDP about $2 million a year to start).This will undoubtedly be an issue in the leadership race as so far one candi-

date – former transportation minister Todd Stone – has promised to refuse the subsidy if he wins, which may put pressure on other candidates to follow suit. Finally, as time goes by and it becomes apparent that the NDP is going to be power for the next four years, some B.C. Liberal MLAs may begin to chafe at the frustration of being in opposition and toy with the idea of splitting from the party.There is a new rule about to take hold that stipulates that to qualify for official party status in the B.C. legislature a party must hold just two seats, down from four.Will two (or more) B.C. Liberal MLAs split off and form, say, the B.C. Party or some other such entity and enjoy the financial gains? As a result of the change, each Green Party MLA will receive a personal salary boost of between $10,500 (for the caucus whip and house leader) and $26,470 (for the party leader).That kind of payoff may eventually look fairly enticing for any B.C. Liberal MLAs unhappy with what’s going on in their party, especially if the leadership race opens up any wounds. As the race develops, it may be challenging for the B.C. Liberal Party, used to holding political power for so long, to keep a lid on any frustration and discontent. Last weekend’s debate was well attended, and by all accounts the crowd was enthusiastic. Let’s see if that enthusiasm is still there four years from now. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Jewelry store robbers flee When a car raced up his Cameron Street driveway one Wednesday morning in March and two men jumped out and bee-lined through some nearby blackberry bushes, Dave Power didn’t know he was dealing with a couple of armed robbers who had just fired shots in a Lougheed mall jewelry store. At first, he yelled at the intruders and gave chase but changed his mind and called police instead.The two armed with a handgun, had entered People’s Jewellers a few minutes earlier, smashed display cases, shot at the store’s security camera and made off with an undetermined amount of jewelry in a stolen Chrysler.

Lettersnow School seismic upgrades need to happen ASAP Dear Editor: Re: Stop gambling with kids’ lives and upgrade schools, Burnaby NOW, Inbox, Oct. 11. In my opinion, Kristoffer Palma has it exactly right. To his comments, I would add that when the NDP came into power, they shed light on how the Liberals had deliberately misled the public on what was going on with structure remediation in our schools with regards to earthquakes. I just wish they had been factually candid in the true status of upgrades to our schools. Yes, it will be extremely expensive to remediate, and it will take time. I hope that Mr. Palma’s observations to the municipality will be heard in city hall, and the more serious situations addressed. I wrote to B.C.’s Risk Management Branch a few years ago, suggesting that what they teach students in schools to do if an earthquake hits may not necessarily be the best, or only, way of protecting themselves. I am now a retired commercial insurance broker, but in the last 10 years of my career, I counselled my clients to research the controversial “Triangle of Life” formulated by Doug Copps. The Risk Management Branch dismissed my comments entirely, and what the NDP revealed was happening in school remediation would seem to indicate my concerns were entirely justified. There may, indeed, be some schools where exploring the Triangle of Life theory would make good alternate sense. I understand the issue is

contentious, and there may be no ultimate “best practice,” but I for one will react accordingly should a major quake affect this area. Anyone considering this aspect should also go research what B.C. Building Codes have done in recent years – since 2007 – at which point they will understand what structural integrity could mean for buildings over 10 years old. Parents, do your research, and engage your community members and schools in discussion. Perhaps then we’ll see some progress? Nick Batistic, Burnaby

Forgiving unpaid tolls is the right thing to do Dear Editor: I agree that taking the tolls off the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges was the right thing to do. This could actually help to stimulate our economy as more people use these bridges. But wait a minute. We’re also told that unpaid tolls will still have to be paid even though the highways minister has said that the tolls weren’t fair to the people who use the bridges. I can agree with that statement as well. But my question is, if the tolls weren’t fair in the first place, then why should it be fair for me to pay my outstanding tolls now? Obviously it’s still not fair. I’m not calling for a rebate of paid toll money, but I believe we should at least have the right to expect any unpaid toll bills to be cancelled and forgiven. And I believe we all have a right to a response from the highways minister on this issue. Jim Ervin, Burnaby

The rules, which were in place from May 15 to Oct. 15, help manage the region’s drinking water when rainfall is low and demand is high, as well as water shortages during an emergency. Despite the driest July and August on record, residents in the region used less water this summer than during the drought of 2015, according to a press release from Metro Vancouver. “We applaud Metro Vancouver residents who co-operated with the lawn watering restrictions and ensured they were conserving drinking water wherever possible,” said Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’s utilities committee, in

lawn watering days will be reduced to two mornings per week. Businesses, school

yards, golf courses and public parks will also have to follow new restrictions.

“We need to be responsive to climate change and, in anticipation of future dry

spells, we have revised our regulations to better ensure we have enough water

for everyone’s needs,” said Mussatto.

Single-family homeowners … really stepped up a statement. “Single-family homeowners, in particular, really stepped up their water-wise lawn care, and only watered once or twice a week, or let their lawns go brown.” The release noted that thanks to a snowy and wet spring, Metro Vancouver’s reservoirs were full heading into the summer, and the total water supply remained within the normal range throughout the season. Earlier this year, Metro Vancouver approved a new drinking water conservation plan for 2018. Stage 1 water restrictions will begin May 1, 2018 and

Now, however, the bus no longer travels from Metrotown, via Central Boulevard, to Willingdon Avenue. That means Fong can get to Metrotown, but she can’t get back home as easily.The closest stop is on Imperial Street, close to Ocean View Cemetery. A smaller bus, C7, leaves Metrotown and stops at Willingdon and Maywood, but it’s difficult for seniors with walkers, Fong said. “You get on, you have to

A Burnaby senior says TransLink is ignoring seniors in the Metrotown neighbourhood by choosing to reroute the number 49 bus line. Bessie Fong, 66, has lived on Maywood Street for more than 20 years. She doesn’t own a car, so she depends on transit to get to the grocery store, the bank or her medical appointments. To get around, Fong has been using the number 49

And it’s a slight incline. She actually pulled her muscle,” Fong said. “For people with disabilities or people on walkers, it’s re-

ally tough. It’s not just Maywood, the people at Mayberry Street and Beresford Street have the same problem.There’s a co-op there with quite a number of seniors living there, too.” She wants TransLink to add a stop to the 430 bus, which travels along Willingdon Avenue en route to Brighouse Station in Richmond.

TransLink spokesperson Chris Bryan said the company rerouted the number 49 bus so passengers could easily access the Metrotown SkyTrain station and transfer between the bus and the train. “Previously, bus passengers on the busiest routes, like the 49, needed to cross Central Boulevard to access SkyTrain.With this

new routing, the majority of bus drop-offs and pickups will occur along eastbound Central Boulevard, adjacent to the new station plaza,” he wrote in an email to the NOW. “The intent of these recent changes is to reduce travel times and increase frequency for the majority Continued on page 10

Inspired by Design: How school design supports learning to support ambitious educational goals and social priorities” discusses high school Vice Principal Wendy Perttula. For example, “the Learning Commons emulates a design revolution in 21st century libraries. This resource center has three walls, not four, and is defined along one side by a student thoroughfare. The inviting entrance declares, “You are a trusted student. Welcome.” Although the domain of a librarian, here learning pursuits can be driven by learners’ interests. With access to research data banks, technology and texts of all kinds, students will be guided in their search for information that feeds a passion, expands understanding, sparks an idea or inspires a project. The adjoining Maker Space provides room where diverse and perhaps messy hands-on work can be achieved under moderate supervision; a place where projects can be assembled or the designing of cross-curricular imaginings can be transformed into 3D models.”

When the BC Ministry of Education presented a new curriculum plan for BC schools, John Knox Christian School was about to start designing a new high school building. It presented the school with a unique opportunity: to architecturally design a building to support the priorities of the new plan and educational reforms that are Rapidly changing technology is happening all over the world. impacting our classroom curriculum. “As we begin the physical construction Perttula explains, “In addition to of our new high school, excitement is technology and coding, there is the need mounting.

Sportsnow Lacrosse votes for ﬁve-year program By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s a change meant to put B.C. teams on the same footing as Ontario – but will also hopefully create parity and stability at home first. The directors of the B.C. Lacrosse Association held their AGM on the weekend, and voted overwhelmingly to create a five-year junior program and eliminate the intermediate divisions. Burnaby Lakers junior president Brad Hara said the move should give his program a boost. “It certainly should make it easier for us when it comes to player movement and especially in player retention,” Hara said. He said that while certain details remain to be ironed out, the idea makes perfect sense, reflected by the 60-3 vote at the AGM. “I think its been talked about for a number of years, but past attempts always came from the junior A level,” Hara said.This time the motion came forward from the junior B level, demonstrating that it wasn’t just the higher division trying to set rules for others to follow. Hara said the junior B level will have three tiers, and players graduating from midget will get an opportunity to tryout for junior A positions, which features plays as old as 21. A vast majority of the 16-year-old midget graduates will start in the junior B-1, B-2 or B-3 division. New Westminster president Walt Weaver said while the motion had in the past been contentious, this time support was spread across the board. “It’s a long time coming and a great idea,” said Weaver. “The junior B program will be a true feeder program for the junior A team, and players have an opportunity to spend five years together, as they do in Ontario.” Hara said it will take time to see a dividend in the calibre of play, but anticipates the Laker program will benefit. “I think the impact won’t be known for a while, but I believe everybody will benefit in having a five-year program. It’s quite a change.”

Steelers’ streak hits seven and counting

Seven different players cash in as Grandview blasts Port Moody, improving to 8-4-0-1 By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Quick bursts and a strong showing from each line set the tone, as the Grandview Steelers made it seven wins and counting. The Pacific Junior B Hockey League squad powered past Port Moody 7-2 on Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club, blitzed ahead with four quick goals and stood their ground in a penalty-fest over the final 30 minutes. Never in doubt, the contest featured seven different scorers for Grandview as the club continued to round into form after a sluggish start to the season. “We’ve had a bit of better luck at getting the puck past the goalie, but we’ve played extremely well lately and got lots of contributions from everybody,” remarked coach Stefan Matic. “When we can score first, we seem to keep that momentum for a while.” The Burnaby-based Steelers did just that, starting with Anthony Benevoli’s fifth of the season six minutes in, followed 53 seconds later with Brodie Crawford’s first with Grandview. Barely 1:24 later Mateo Coltellaro counted his eighth of the year, while seven seconds was all it took for Ian Prevost to make it 4-0, with his team-leading ninth goal. All told, the four goals came in a span of 2:23, and

chased Port Moody starting goalie Thomas Watts from the net. In the middle frame, recently acquired Connor Alderson netted his second in as many games since coming over, with Crawford, in a swap with the Richmond Sockeyes. Rookie William

Hazell-Penaluna and Emerson Kostner also tallied. “We’ve definitely simplified things in our game and are not chasing after pucks as much,” Matic said in comparison to the first few weeks of the season, where the Steelers posted a 1-30-1 record. “We generated

plenty of scoring chances during our losing streak but couldn’t put it in the net. Now we’re getting goals, and it’s pretty balanced.” Tempers flared in the second and third period, with the Panthers drawing 49 penalty minutes and three of four misconducts hand-

ed out. Extending the win streak this week will be a true test, as Grandview plays rival Richmond in a home-andhome set, starting Thursday in Richmond.The two teams go at it again Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Knights’ defence takes down Tweedsmuir Interception, safeties set table as St.Thomas More improves to 4-0 on the season

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Momentum is a powerful thing, and the St.Thomas More Knights are glad to have it on their side. On the strength of Friday’s 24-19 victory over the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, the Knights are one of just three AAA senior football teams at 4-0, with three games to play in the regular season. The past few tests have been of the playoff-calibre kind, as well as a healthy outlet for the STM community mourning the loss of varsity coach Bernie Kully, who died two weeks ago after a battle with cancer. Although they never trailed, the Knights were pushed by the Panthers and needed some huge defensive plays to leverage momentum into their corner. In the first half,Tweedsmuir put up the first points on their second drive to take a 6-0 lead. St.Thomas

Crisologo caps comeback

In what was the final Great Northwest Athletic Conference tournament until the spring, Simon Fraser University’s Chris Crisologo picked up his first win of the 2017/18 season by carding a 4-under par 67 in the final round of the Concordia Invitational last week. Buoyed by Crisologo’s come-from-behind effort and a handful of solid showings from teammates, SFU finished third overall in team standings. He was among a pack of players who trailed UBC’s Diego San Pedro after two rounds, but jumped into the lead when his fellow Richmond native was disqualified for a clerical error on

With the travel up they’re going to be a good little test for us.” The Knights next home game is Oct. 27 against W.J. Mouat.

his scorecard. But it took a big jump, as he stared at a seven-shot deficit after round 2. Even after San Pedro’s withdrawal, Crisologo sat five shots back of the new leader with 18 holes to play. It proved no problem for the reigning 2017 GNAC player of the year. Crisologo fired a 67, after opening with rounds of 74 and 72, and won by three strokes. He finished at even-par 213, leading Simon Fraser

to a third-place team finish and the seventh win of his SFU career. Simon Fraser posted three golfers in the top-25, as Sy Lovan ended the tournament tied for 14th after scoring an 8-over par 221 (74, 73, 74). Scott Kerr, who won his first tourney at Western Washington two weeks ago, was one stroke back of Lovan in 17th (74, 74, 74).Tied for 22nd, Marcus Brown posted a three-day total of 224.

SFU wins in OT

Simon Fraser midfielder Matteo Polisi scored the golden goal off a rebounded shot in the 109th minute to lift No. 16 Simon Fraser to a 1-0 double overtime win over the Western Washington University men’s soccer team on Saturday. The Clan improved to 9-1-2 overall and 5-1-1 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play with the win, and moved into a tie with WWU atop the conference standings at 16 points apiece. Western Washington, 5-1-1 in conference action, lost for the first time since Sept. 2, ending a nine-game unbeaten streak. All three losses on the season have come in overtime. With fewer than two minutes left in the second overtime, SFU’s Connor Glennon headed a shot that WWU goalkeeper Tyler Visten dived to stop.The ball deflected to a charging Polisi, who buried it for his eighth of the year.

LISTINGS • NEW HOMES • OPEN HOUSES

Two-Thirds of Condos Selling Above Asking Price Demand for condo-apartment units in the Burnaby/Tri-Cities region continues unabated in the fall housing market, according to an analysis of MLS® sold data for the week October 2-8 reveals. Exactly two-thirds of the 69 condo units to sell in the region that week (registered by October 16) went for above their list price. Only 26% – or 18 units – were sold for under asking and just five homes went for exactly the sticker price. There were slightly fewer attached home sales than the previous week, at 88 units in total when including townhomes, duplexes and row homes. The median selling price for an attached home in the region was also slightly lower, at $540K. However, that figure varies between neighbourhoods considerably, ranging from a high of $629,900 in Burnaby South to the least expensive attached homes in Port Coquitlam, with a median sale price of $435K.

The most expensive attached home sale of the same week was a brand-new half-duplex in Burnaby North’s Sperling neighbourhood, which sold for nearly 7% over asking at $1,601,000. But a more jaw-dropping home was the region’s priciest condo sale – a Burnaby Mountain penthouse at SFU with unbelievable views and ultra-modern interiors. This cool pad was bought for $1.1 million, $50K under asking, after 41 days on the market. The region’s detached home market, having sped up somewhat towards the end of September, slowed very slightly again October 2-8. The median sale price held relatively steady at $1,395,000, but the median days on market rose again, to 41, after having declined for several weeks in a row. The priciest detached home sale in the region was the relatively modest $1,925,000 deal for a dated, 1960-built house on a desirable corner lot near Deer Lake. The property sold to an apparently motivated buyer for more than 10% over its asking price, after just eight days on market.

Born in Hong Kong, second of 8 children, to So Yin Moo (father) and Lam Mo Yin (mother). Attended school in Hong Kong and at Lingnan University, Guangzhou. Immigrated to Canada in 1952. He relished telling of the three-week ocean journey in ship’s steerage. Despite terrible loneliness in the first years, he never looked back as he made a new life in Canada. Yan graduated from UBC’s Faculty of Medicine in 1958, interned at VGH and established a solo family practice in Coquitlam in 1962. Active at Royal Columbian and Eagle Ridge Hospitals, he also served as medical staff president at St. Mary’s and Queen’s Park Hospitals, medical coordinator at Como Lake Hospital and medical director at Foyer Maillard. Retired age 82. Yan said his greatest reward was caring for multiple generations of families. He valued knowing his patients and their knowing him. Patient and methodical, Yan quietly went about his ways. He gave every last drop of himself to the community, even making a house call on his last day in practice. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Yan P. So Award in Family Medicine, established by the family at University of British Columbia. Donations can be made online at memorial.support.ubc.ca/yan-so, by mail at 500-5950 University Blvd., Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z3, or by calling 604-827-4111. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, October 29, at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia Street, New Westminster. Near SkyTrain. Parkade entrance off 8th St. Doors open at 1 pm, memorial at 1:30 pm.
