‘We need to listen to the people under attack’ Another antidemoviction protest hits the streets while activists question a new task force Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

A provincial government task force aimed at improving tenancy laws may not be enough to protect renters in Metrotown, advocates say. B.C. Premier John Horgan announced the rental housing task force earlier this month. It will be headed up by Vancouver-West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert with a mandate to review existing rental laws and how they apply to different housing models, and how other jurisdictions have addressed similar housing issues. The group will consult with the public, including landlords and tenants, on their experiences with tenancy laws and the rental industry, and look at improving security and fairness for renters and landlords with a focus on affordability. But Zoe Luba, with the Alliance Against Displacement and Stop Demovictions Burnaby, thinks the government should only be listening to Continued on page 4

Investigators release proﬁle of teen’s killer Cornelia Naylor

Homicide investigators have released a criminal profile of the person believed to have killed Burnaby teenager Marrisa Shen. Shen was reported missing by her family on July 18, 2017 and was later found dead in Burnaby’s Central Park. Police deemed her death to be a random

killing. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has now consulted with the RCMP behavioural sciences group to develop a criminal profile of the person believed to be responsible for Shen’s death. They believe the killer may have lived near Central Park and may have demonstrated any of the following behaviours after Shen’s death: they may have unexpected-

‘We’re supposed to live out our faith’ Religious leaders arrested after protesting outside Trans Mountain’sWestridge Marine terminal Friday

Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

An Anglican priest and a Mennonite pastor were arrested after protesting with some 20 religious leaders outside Trans Mountain’s Westridge Marine terminal Friday. Religious and faith leaders set up blockades at both entrances to that terminal, turning away workers and vehicles starting from 5:30 a.m. Friday morning, and staying into the afternoon, protesting, singing and praying.The group responded to an invitation

from Tsleil-Waututh Nation member Will George to religious leaders and “all people of faith and spirit” to oppose the project. A larger protest and rally of religious leaders is also planned for Saturday, April 28 at the same location. Former Mennonite pastor Steve Heinrichs currently lives in Winnipeg, but he grew up in Capitol Hill close to the Westridge Marine terminal. As someone from Burnaby, he said, the pipeline issue is important to him. “It feels like it’s a part of me. I grew up every morn-

ing looking at Burnaby Mountain. I could see the tanker silos since I was a little kid,” he told the NOW prior to his arrest. “We need to get off this if we’re still going to have a beautiful Burnaby, let alone country and planet to share.” Heinrichs is currently the director of Indigenous-settler relations with Mennonite Church Canada in Winnipeg. And, while he is concerned about environmental risks to his hometown, he is more concerned about Indigenous peoples’ rights to “free and prior informed consent.” He says

there has not been adequate consultation with them. That reason is what compelled him to protest and

We need to receive their consent … risk arrest, he said. “For me, it is to fulfil a personal obligation because, yes, this is the space and place where I grew up, and I’ve come to a greater awareness of whose tradi-

tional territories these are,” he said. “They need to be consulted with, and we need to receive their consent for a project like this.” Rev. Emilie Smith, the parish priest at St. Barnabas Anglican Church in New Westminster, was the first person arrested. She said she was protesting because she felt compelled by her faith to support local Indigenous peoples’ opposition to the pipeline. “This is a way we are called to live out the reconciliation, is in standing with the Tsleil-Waututh and others to defend this holy

Officials investigating sediment spill Initial review found no sediment in Silver Creek, but federal and provincial reps will visit site this week

lboothby@burnabynow.com

Federal and provincial environmental officials are investigating the reported sediment spill into Silver Creek on April 13 and are scheduled to inspect the Trans Mountain terminal site in Burnaby this week. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the B.C.

Ministry of Environment and a representative from the National Energy Board will conduct a joint site visit this week, according to an email statement sent to the NOW by the DFO. The provincial ministry is leading the investigation, and ministry staff completed a site visit with John Preissl, the Burnaby streamkeeper who reported the spill to

government agencies and to the NOW almost two weeks ago.They did not find any sediment in the creek on their initial review. That investigation found Trans Mountain had installed erosion and sediment control measures and sumps for water collection near Silver Creek tributaries. Gravel extended along the road adjacent to them, and straw

had been placed in locations with exposed soil.They also found an extension of sediment fencing was installed. Water samples, too, met B.C. water quality guidelines, and the City of Burnaby found the streams clear shortly after the report was made, they said. Trans Mountain is also evaluating its erosion and sediment control plan following the report.The company says no problems were identified by the inspection, and the company will

continue its environmental monitoring plans. “Trans Mountain personnel on site did not observe a sedimentation/erosion issue associated with our site or activities as described in the public report,” wrote Trans Mountain in an email. “It is important to note that activities at the site are guided by an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and overseen by an environmental inspector. All required environmental approvals are in place to complete the work.”

land,” she told the NOW prior to her arrest. “I think our faith teaches us that we’re not supposed to just say nice things to each other; we’re supposed to live out our faith in our bodies … we believe in taking action.” National Anglican Indigenous Bishop Mark MacDonald,Vancouver city council candidate Rev. Christine Boyle, and Rev. Laurel Dykstra of Salal and Cedar (from the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster) also protested but were not arrested.

Poll watch A new poll suggests the majority of Canadians do not support the anti-pipeline protesters. According to the Angus Reid Institute, 60 per cent of Canadians say the Trans Mountain protesters do not represent mainstream views. In fact, 46 per cent say they would like to see B.C. Premier John Horgan condemn the protests. But 58 per cent say Kinder Morgan could have done a better job earning public trust.

‘All eviction should end’

Continued from page 1 renters, not landlords. “Any sort of task force that sits down and listens to people who already have power in the situation, the landlords, is going to come out with some pretty biased results,” she told the NOW. “We need to listen to people under attack.That’s renters.” Increasing rights for tenants under B.C.’s Residential Tenancy Act (RTA), won’t fix the housing crisis, said Luba; really fixing problems for renters requires a more drastic change. “Even if your rights under the RTA are improved, the current system still favours profit-driven development over people, over tenants,” she said. “No eviction should be legal. All eviction should end.” Structural poverty and inequality are the reasons for all evictions, she said, even evictions for cause.

And evictions are something Metrotown residents are familiar with. Last year, the city approved the Metrotown Downtown Plan, which allows for more density and which critics say will see more low-rise walkups being torn down in favour of highrise luxury condos. Luba and other activists were in Burnaby again over the weekend with an antidemovictions protest on Saturday.They marched from Beresford Street at Sussex Avenue up toWillingdon Avenue and Kingsway, looping back to finish at Civic Square (next to the Metrotown library branch). Craig Jones, UBC PhD candidate in geography, studies how cities deal with the loss of aging rentals, like the three- and four-storey walk-ups in Metrotown. Those housing units, built in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, provide affordable rental units to lower-income peo-

ple, he said. “The really tricky part is just to the people I’m talking to, is help finding new places to rent at a similar level of affordability and suitability.That’s the really tricky part … particularly trying to find a new place to live in the same neighbourhood,” he told the NOW. One change Jones would like to see is transparency on what happens to tenants when they are relocated, as some municipalities consider creating tenant relocation policies.These policies often includes a payout of several months’ rent following eviction. Burnaby council amended its own tenant assistant policy last month.The policy now requires landlords to pay tenants an extra month’s rent, now up to four months from three. The province’s rental task force will work through the summer and report back in the fall.

Gardener, UBC in court over Burnaby estate

At odds: The South Slope home formerly owned by Mary Ann Gordon has become the subject of a court fight between UBC and Gordon’s former gardener in a dispute over Gordon’s will. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

The university owes this obligation … ‘her son’ when introducing him to the staff at the long term care facility where she was living,” states the response. By the end of her life, macular degeneration had left Gordon blind, and she had decided in a September 2000 will to leave the bulk of her estate to UBC to fund research into macular degeneration and other eye diseases. A new will in December 2003, named her neighbour Vian Andrews and Ohori as co-executors and conferred to each a gift of $25,000. A 2005 amendment to that will increased Ohori’s gift to $50,000, and other changes in 2008 made Ohori Gordon’s sole executor, attorney and representative. In 2010, after Gordon moved into the St. Michael’s Centre long-term

care facility, Ohori says she told him she didn’t want UBC to have her Burnaby house but instead wanted it to go to Ohori and his wife because they were “like a son and daughter to her.” After prompting from Ohori, Carlos Bernardino, a lawyer who had known Gordon since 1994, talked to her about the transfer three times in 2011 and 2012, and each time concluded she didn’t have the required mental capacity to sign over her property. After one visit, Bernardino concluded Gordon “did not have a good grasp as to the nature and extent of her assets and was unclear as to what her wishes were.” In February 2012, Gordon scored 17 out of 27 on a mini-mental status exam. Among other things, she didn’t know what year it was and thought she was in Bellingham. After Bernardino retired, however, Ohori and his wife brought Gordon by taxi to another lawyer, Stephen Miller, who concluded she did have the required mental capacity and witnessed her signature as she signed her house over to Ohori. According to UBC’s petition, nearly $40,000 was paid from Gordon’s bank account to fix up the Burnaby house after the transfer. About a year later, more than $90,000 was transferred from a joint account held by Ohori and Gordon to Ohori’s personal account. Gordon also named Ohori the beneficiary of her tax-free savings account, to which Gordon had contributed $35,537 between 2010 and 2014. Before a change in legislation in 2014, only an executor could sue to have assets returned to an estate in cases where mental capacity was in question.That would

have left Ohori in the position of suing himself, but changes to the Wills, Estates and Succession Act now allow beneficiaries to appeal to the court to sue to have assets returned to the estate. Milman’s ruling has effectively put UBC into the executor’s shoes, allowing the university to sue Ohori on behalf of Gordon’s estate, according to UBC’s legal

counsel. UBC stands to acquire $2 million in assets if its case succeeds, according to court documents. “Where an individual leaves a gift in his or her will to UBC, the university has an obligation to ensure the intentions of the deceased are honoured,” said UBC lawyer Elizabeth Moxham in a statement. “The univer-

sity owes this obligation, not only to the donor, Ms. Gordon, but also to other donors and to the community that the university serves to ensure that donors gifts are received by the university as the donors intended so that they can be used for the charitable purposes that the donors intended.” Calls to Ohori from the NOW were not returned.

The University of British Columbia and a dead woman’s former gardener are battling in B.C. Supreme Court over a $1.7 million Burnaby home and nearly $170,000 in cash. Mary Ann Gordon, a childless widow, died at age 98 on July 13, 2014, according to court documents. UBC was named the sole residual beneficiary in her will, but, by the time she died, her house at 4575 Neville St., her car and most of her money was in the possession DavidYukio Ohori, her former gardener, according to the university. UBC filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court last August to have those assets returned to Gordon’s estate, arguing the elderly widow had lacked the mental capacity to transfer them to Ohori before she died. Ohori, meanwhile, says the case should be dismissed, arguing he and his wife had supported and cared for Gordon for the last 14 years of her life and it was her clear intention to gift her South Slope home (now worth $1.7 million) to the couple. Last Thursday, however, Justice Warren Milman granted UBC leave to pursue the case, saying he wasn’t persuaded he could “properly presume that the deceased was competent to transfer her assets.” And, even if Gordon had had the capacity to transfer the house to Ohori, Milman says the gardener’s lawyers had so far cited “little or no evidence to support the validity of the other transfers that he received in the final months of the deceased’s life.” Ohori started working as Gordon’s gardener in the

spring of 1998, after the death of Gordon’s husband, according to court documents. After he had completed his work in the garden, Ohori says Gordon would invited him in for “a cup of tea and a chat,” and a “close friendship” developed that went on to include Ohori’s wife Keum Soo (Monica) Ohori. Over the years, the couple visited Gordon, went shopping for her, drove her to appointments and shared meals with her, according to Ohori’s response to UBC’s petition. “Over that period, (Ohori) went from being (Gordon’s) ‘gardener’ to someone (Gordon) referred to as

Opinion now OUR VIEW

That’s 86,534 cases of driver stupidity in B.C. In the past decade, a whopping 86,534 impaired drivers have been taken off the road thanks to Alexa’s Team – a police initiative named in honour of Alexa Middelaer, a four-year-old killed by a drunk driver in Ladner in 2008. That’s an impressive statistic – and a sobering one. Because it means that, despite death’s like Alexa’s, a large number of drivers in British Columbia still

haven’t gotten the message about the dangers of drinking and driving. Take a moment and think about how terrifying that number is. Each and every time a police officer pulled over one of those 86,534 impaired drivers was a time when the driver in question could have caused an accident. That’s 86,534 potential crashes. 86,534 potential injuries. 86,534 potential

… drivers in British Columbia still haven’t gotten the message about the dangers of drinking and driving deaths – or more. Fortunately, the actual number of accidents caused by impaired drivers is much lower than that. ICBC statistics from 2012 to 2016 show an average of 65 fatal

crashes a year in which impaired driving was a contributing factor. That’s still 65 too many. But it’s a far cry from what it could be – and a large part of the reason for

that is the work of police officers on the alert for impaired drivers. We’re grateful to the efforts of all the officers whose success in getting impaired drivers off the road earned them the right to be named to Alexa’s Team (see story on page 24). It’s thanks to the determined efforts of officers such as Const. Michael Gardner, Cpl. Jason Bayer, Const. Diane Marsh, Const. John Stables, Const.

HarmeekWaraich and Cpl. Brad Lougheed that the number of tragedies caused by drunk driving in B.C. is not much, much higher. It’s thanks, too, to the growing understanding among B.C. drivers that it’s never acceptable to get behind the wheel after one too many. But until every single driver in British Columbia gets that message, we’re all at risk of becoming part of next year’s statistics.

Will there be enough money?

Premier John Horgan was given a rousing welcome by delegates to the annual CUPE convention last week, but I have to wonder whether that’s going to be as good as it gets for the premier and his government when it comes to dealing with public sector unions. That’s because the NDP government will open contract negotiations this year with a vast array of those unions.There are more than 310,000 unionized public employees in B.C. whose collective agreements (about 180 of them) expire next spring, and there are another 75,000 managers in the public sector. There is no question public sector union leadership and the membership will be looking for substantially more money at the negotiating table than they received from B.C. Liberal administrations in recent years.The frugal Liberals established a “net zero” bargaining mandate in 2010 that stipulated there could be no increase in compensation unless savings were found to pay for it.That was followed by the “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012 that allowed modest wage hikes that were again tied to found savings. Then, in 2014, came the “economic stability” mandate that allowed a maximum of 5.5 per cent in total wage hikes over five years plus a small economic “dividend” tied to an improving economy. Enter the NDP, and the expectations from the public sector unions are understandably pretty high now that the days of wage re-

straint are over. There’s just one problem: there is not a lot of money in the public treasury to fund significant wage hikes for public sector employees. A rule of thumb in the finance ministry is that a tiny one per cent hike across the public sector costs the government close to $300 million. A two per cent bump costs $600 million, and so on. So, let’s say the unions come looking for a two per cent hike a year over three or four years. Sounds modest enough, unless you are the employer. That kind of compensation package would cost the government $3.6 billion over three years (the first $600 million increase becomes embedded and is counted again in years two and three, as does year two’s $600 million in year three). Finance Minister Carole James doesn’t have a lot of flexibility at her disposal. Over the next two years, her fiscal plan shows she has $2.6 billion in unallocated spending. Presumably the budget three years from now will have the usual $1.3 billion in unallocated spending, which brings the total to $3.9 billion. That modest two per cent annual increase would consume almost all that money. So James is likely going to hold the line at lower wage hikes, which may infuriate public sector workers. And that’s why the premier may not get that prolonged standing ovation when he attends those union conferences next year. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Skyrocketing rent hits tenants

Metrotown renters said they were being uprooted by skyrocketing rent hikes. About 60 tenants of the Park Crest Apartments on Patterson Avenue signed a petition in November against increases set to take effect in the new year.The building’s Richmond management company had given notice rents for all the two-bedroom apartments would jump anywhere from $90 to $210, depending on which floor of the eight-storey building the tenant lived. For one petitioner, that meant paying $716 instead of $626 a month.

City’s garbage policies are a waste of taxpayer funds Dear Editor: This is an example of the financial waste which I’ve found that’s going on in the collection of our city’s waste. Burnaby’s sanitation department has a rule that states that your bins must be placed one metre apart in order for the arms of the garbage truck to fit between them and raise the bins. I’ve always tried to comply with this rule although I sometimes wonder if a cost versus benefit analysis was done between this system and the old manual lift garbage collection system before the change was made. Being only human, though, I placed my bins a little too close together last week, and my garbage wasn’t picked up. However, the driver took the time to get out of his truck to place a meaningless sticker on one of my bins with a diagram on it showing the correct spacing of the bins. In other words, he took the time to do that but wouldn’t move one of the bins over a little to do his job of picking up the garbage. That’s because, as I later learned, the city thinks it’s also the driver’s job to teach us a lesson if we violate the rules. Then we all pay for this stupid policy when I phoned the sanitation department to report that my garbage wasn’t picked up. The reason was explained to me, of course, and I was asked if I still wanted my garbage picked up. I explained that I thought this was one of the services we’re paying taxes for and was told that my garbage would be picked

up the next day. Yes, they made a special trip, actually two special trips just for me, once for my regular garbage and another truck for my garden waste, two days later. And each truck was the old style in which the driver gets out and manually lifts the bin into the rear. I wonder if he gets extra pay for doing all that heavy lifting as they did in the good old days. And can you imagine what it cost you, the taxpayer, for this extra service, all because a driver couldn’t move my bin over a few inches or centimetres? Jim Ervin, Burnaby

Burnaby strike helped shape labour movement Wildcat strike in 1966 was a turning point in B.C. labour history, and it’s being explored in a new book Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@burnabynow.com

The workers had had enough. Negotiations over wages and hours had stalled at the Lenkurt Electric telecommunications equipment manufacturing plant on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby. The union and company had agreed to an overtime ban, but a higher-up at the company had overturned it. And so, they walked. The wildcat strike of 1966 would affect more than just Lenkurt Electric, more than the 257 workers who walked the picket line and more than the local labour movement. It would be a major influence on changes to B.C. labour legislation in coming years. There wasn’t anything extraordinary about the initial negotiations with the members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 213, according to Rod Mickleburgh, author of On the Line:A History of the British Columbia Labour Movement. But the company’s reversal on the overtime ban was the final straw, he said. “Difficult negotiations were going on, and, at a cer-

tain point, the workers at the plant, they felt betrayed by the company’s stance in negotiations and didn’t wait for a strike vote or anything,” Mickleburgh said. “Two hundred and fifty-seven of them walked off the job on April 27, 1966.” “There must’ve been a lot of unhappiness with management to begin with, because you don’t get 257 people – many of them women – suddenly walking off the job in an illegal strike without quite a buildup,” he added. In response to the wildcat strike, the company fired all of the workers who had walked out. The atmosphere on the picket line was tense, as co-workers who had not walked out crossed the line to get to work every morning. New employees were hired as well, and police escorted them into the plant. “There were lots of scuffles, and it was turning into quite an intense confrontation already,” Mickleburgh said. Then, the international representative of the IBEW and the president of local 213 brokered a deal with the company, one that did not guarantee all the work-

Book launch May 1 The history of the labour movement in Burnaby and throughout the province is the subject of Rod Mickleburgh’s new book, On the Line: A History of the British Columbia Labour Movement. There will be a book launch for On the Line on May 1 (International Workers’ Day) from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Hilton Metrotown Crystal Ballroom. Premier John Horgan will be a special guest at the event, and the Unladylike Artist Collective will be performing. Those interested in attending should RSVP to rsvp@labourheritagecentre.ca or call 604-419-0400.

SOLIDARITY: Supporters mill outside the B.C. Supreme Court in downtown Vancouver as trade union leaders Paddy Neale, Art O’Keeffe and Jeff Power are sentenced to jail for disobeying a court injunction, an increasingly common occurrence in the 1960s. PHOTO UBC RARE BOOKS

ers would be rehired or maintain their seniority. “The business agent, a fellow named Art O’Keeffe, refused to implement the deal that had been worked out, and the workers turned it down by an enormous margin because again, it didn’t guarantee that these workers would be rehired, and they could be picked off, one by one,” Mickleburgh said. O’Keeffe was fired, though workers later brought him back to his office when the executive was having a meeting there, and then they carried the union president out to the street, according to Mickleburgh. The local labour move-

ment was angry, seeing the deal as a betrayal by the international union.They came out in support of the workers, walking the picket lines alongside them, even though there was a court injunction against picketing and many strikers were being arrested. Things came to a head on May 11, 1966. “There were really fierce clashes on the line; hundreds of workers were there,” Mickleburgh said. “Policemen’s hats were knocked off.” Prominent union leaders were on the lines, including Paddy Neale, secretary of the Vancouver and District Labour Council; Jeff Pow-

er, president of the Marine Workers and Boilermakers Industrial Union; and Tom Clarke, vice president of Industrial,Wood and Allied Workers Local 217. Despite the support from local labour leaders, the strike wrapped up by the end of the month. “The company was maintaining production, the police were allowing the strikebreakers to get into the plant – it was just really, really tough,” Mickleburgh said. “The strike ended, and they had to go back to work and accept that deal very unhappily.” About 75 to 80 workers were not hired back, and others faced harsh pun-

ishments – both from the courts and the union. Fifteen workers were fined $3,100 for contempt of court for ignoring the court injunction against picketing, according to Mickleburgh, and labour leaders served time in jail for their roles. Neale and the local’s assistant business manager, Tom Constable, received six-month sentences each. Power and O’Keeffe were given three to four months each. The local labour movement was outraged the union leaders were given jail time for their roles, according to Mickleburgh. Continued on page 14

Communitynow Lenkurt Electric dispute was a turning point in labour history Continued from page 11 “That was the role that court injunctions held at that time.That’s what made it so difficult for unions because if their picketing was effective, the company

would get a court injunction, and then you couldn’t picket anymore,” he said. “And lots of labour leaders went to jail during these times, during the ’50s and the ’60s and right into the

early ’70s.” However, things changed when Dave Barrett was elected premier in 1972, Mickleburgh said. “For the first time, they removed jurisdiction over

picketing from the courts,” he explained. “They gave it to the Labour Relations Board, where it’s been ever since. It was a landmark decision in North America when they did that, and, ba-

sically, most provinces have followed. And the Lenkurt dispute was part of the outrage that led finally to the legislation being changed, and the role of the courts was diminished in terms of

punishing union leaders and workers.” On the Line:A History of the British Columbia Labour Movement has a book launch event on May 1. See page 11 for details.

A noise-induced hearing loss is a permanent hearing loss caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of noise. Hearing deteriorates gradually from the noise exposure.

Two things to consider here are the noise intensity and the length of exposure to it. Generally, the louder the sounds, the shorter the time those sounds can be tolerated without causing permanent NIHL. For example, 80dB HL might be tolerated in an 8-hour work day. But each time the noise level is increased by 5dB, the time exposure sufficient to cause NIHL will be cut in half.

Sound intensity is measured in decibels of hearing level (dB HL). A whisper is about 30 to 40dB HL, normal speech is about 50-60dB HL, and shouting is about 80 to 90dB HL. Lawnmowers and loud music in confined spaces are about 90 to 95dB HL, circular saws and jack hammers are about 100 to 110dB HL, and a screaming jet engine is about 120dB HL.

are not understandable and sound like mumbling. The natural resonance of the outer ear and ear canal is caused precisely by the unique shape of the outer ear and the length of the ear canal. With normal hearing, softer high-pitched consonant sounds of speech are naturally increased in loudness so as to be better-heard. Excessive noise, however, causes a mirror image of this unique resonance, as can be seen by the shape on the audiogram. While NIHL is entirely preventable, the sad thing is that it is permanent. The good news is that a hearing loss can be treated with today’s digital and incredibly discrete hearing devices.

Traffic delays coming to city Fortis warns that replacement of its natural gas pipeline will include road closures in North Burnaby Fortis B.C. is warning residents, businesses and commuters to prepare for traffic congestion in North Burnaby in the coming months as the company prepares to replace its current Vancouver-to-Coquitlam natural gas pipeline with a bigger one. The company plans to replace 20 kilometres of 20inch pipe built in 1958 with 30-inch pipe by late 2019. The new line will improve the safety and reliability of the system and increase capacity as Lower Mainland communities continue to grow, according to Fortis. The construction schedule for the Burnaby portion of the project has yet to be finalized, according to the company, but some construction will likely begin in May.

There will be ongoing lane closures this spring on Douglas Road between Gilmore and Madison avenues and on Gravely Street between Boundary Road and Gilmore Avenue. This summer, there will be ongoing lane closures on a four-kilometre stretch of Lougheed Highway between Madison and Bainbridge avenues. A four-kilometre stretch of Broadway between Bainbridge and Underhill avenue will be shut down entirely during construction this summer. In the fall, Broadway between Production Way and North Road will see ongoing lane closures. For specific dates, visit talkingenergy.ca and sign up to receive updates. – Cornelia Naylor

Pills May Replace Diapers And Padded Underwear At Stores

Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, urine leaking, and nighttime urgency. Robert Ward, Associated Health Press AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released. Sold under the brand name UriVarx®, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips. Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal. This would explain why the average UriVarx® user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

NEW DISCOVERY IN BLADDER CONTROL Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the non-prescription UriVarx® pill. “As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control. With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. “UriVarx® targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN URGES AND LEAKS Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx® pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why. To begin with, the results from its recent double blind clinical trial were truly remarkable. Out of the 150 test subjects, participants taking UriVarx® saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night. They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting.

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX® USERS Many UriVarx® users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry. “After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder. I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained one user. “I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx® and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

NOW APPROVED FOR OVERACTIVE BLADDER & INCONTINENCE In the highly anticipated clinical trial on UriVarx®, researchers found that one pill daily can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urinary urgency and leaks. The double blind, placebo control study took place in two primary care centers where 150 male and female participants with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx®. The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx® saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night. Overall, the UriVarx® group experienced: • 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence • 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence • 61% Reduction in Urgency • 33% Reduction in Frequency • 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips • 475% Decrease in Diaper/Pad Use

The active ingredients in UriVarx® comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use.

Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx® said it significantly improved their quality of life. All together, the study earned UriVarx® the Health Canada approval for overactive bladder and incontinence.

Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed. They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract.

“The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx® users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx® seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

HOW IT WORKS UriVarx® is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. However, is approved by Health Canada. The active ingredients are patented natural extracts.

NEW PILL MAY REPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven pill solution is now available nationwide Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s® active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx® support kidney function and overall urinary health.

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE With daily use, UriVarx® can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

HOW TO GET URIVARX® IN CANADA This is the official release of UriVarx® in Canada. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to anyone suffering from bladder issues who calls within the next 48 hours.

Alexa’s Team honoured

Burnaby RCMP Const. Michael Gardner is an allstar when it comes to getting drunk drivers off the road. Last year, the general duty officer nabbed 53 of them. He was recognized for his service last week by being named to Alexa’s Team, an initiative in honour of Alexa Middelaer, a four-year-old girl killed by a drunk driver in Ladner in 2008. This year is the 10th anniversary of Alexa’s death. Since 2008, the initiative that bears her name has been responsible for getting 86,534 impaired drivers off the road, and her “team”

has grown from 26 members to 2,400 new and returning RCMP and municipal police officers from all corners of the province. “As we reflect on the 10 years since Alexa’s life was taken, as a family, we were hoping to find some good in the wake of her tragic loss,” stated Laurel Middelaer, Alexa’s mom, in a press release. “Alexa’s Team is a shining example of that goodness, and of what can be accomplished when likeminded people band together to honour a young life.” To be named to Alexa’s Team, officers have to get at least a dozen impaired drivers off the road in a year; to

be recognized as an all-star, that number has to be at least 34. Five other Burnaby-based Mounties joined Gardner on the team this year: traffic services members Cpl. Jason Bayer and Const. Diane Marsh; and Port Mann RCMP members Const. John Stables, Const. Harmeek Waraich and Cpl. Brad Lougheed. In total, the Burnaby group nabbed 192 impaired drivers in 2017. They were honoured at the Justice Institute on B.C. in New Westminster on April 17. – Cornelia Naylor

SPCAVancouver/Burnaby. “People really enjoy coming to these events.” There will be games, draws and door prizes, as well as a silent auction. Auction items include gift cards to boutiques and restaurants, spa gift certificates, Canadians tickets, and gift baskets, such as those with chocolates from local chocolatiers. “There’s always a diverse offering,” Nelken said. The money goes directly

to the Burnaby B.C. SPCA, she added. It can cover medication, food and supplies to make the animals comfortable, it can go to a kids’ summer camp program, or even animal cruelty investigations – but all of the funds support the work of the Burnaby SPCA branch, according to Nelken. As a non-profit, the SPCA relies on donations from individuals and corporate donors to run its shelters and programs, she added.

“Last year, the Burnaby B.C. SPCA cared for nearly 1,000 injured or unwanted animals,” she said. “So that’s pretty significant.” The Pints for Paws fundraiser takes place on Saturday, April 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Admiral Pub, 4125 Hastings St.Tickets are $25 and the price includes a veggie or salmon burger, fries or salad, and a beer.

Burnaby swimmer picks off pool records

Hyack Swim Club swimmers prove to be a dynamic duo at provincial meet by setting national, B.C. marks By Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

Speed begets speed. Recently, a pair of swimmers from the Hyack Swim Club pushed each other to a slew of national and provincial records. Madisen Jacques, 12, set the Canadian mark for her age group in the 100-metre butterfly at the Swim B.C.Tier 2 provincial championships in Kamloops last month.Three races later, Peter Huang, who’s also 12, broke the long-standing national record for the 200m fly in his age group. Huang, of Burnaby, would add two more national age group marks – in the 100m fly and 800m freestyle races. For Hyacks coach Andrew Lennstrom, the national records are the culmination of a wading pool’s worth of regional and provincial records Hyack swimmers have set since an aspiration board charting all sorts of records was posted at the club’s home pool in New Westminster. “Our intent was to get rid of some of the old records from the 1970s,” Lennstrom said. “The kids are always looking at it.” Huang, who attends Grade 7 at Capitol Hill elementary in Burnaby, said he got some help from a new skin suit he was wearing for the first time. “I didn’t have to focus on my underwater kicks so much, so the swim was easier,” he said of the sleek garb that cuts drag from the water. Jacques, who is in Grade 7 at Coquitlam’s Scott Creek middle school, said she knew she had a good swim in her that day, but she was surprised to set a time that was one second faster than she’d ever swam the 100m fly before. Lennstrom said the records were a big moment for all the Hyack swimmers at the meet. “It’s pretty exciting to be on the right side of the touch,” he said. Jacques, whose time of 1:03.67

Ripple effect: Madisen Jacques and Burnaby resident Peter Huang of the Hyack Swim Club recently set a series of national and provincial age group records last month in Kamloops. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL

now stands as both provincial and Canadian marks, has been swimming for seven years. In addition to her newly-minted national and provincial 100m fly record, she also owns club marks in the 100m backstroke (1:08.07), 200m back (2:24.09), 200m fly (2:25.07) and 200m individual medley (2:23.80). The new Hyack standard in the 200m fly by Jacques broke a 42-year-old mark set by Val Whyte

in 1976.Three of the other records were an update of Jacques’ previous bests in the races. And seeing as she’ll still be 12 for the rest of the season, more records could yet come her way. Huang was equally as productive at the Kamloops competition with his three new national standards (100m fly, 1:00.66, 200m fly, 2:11.22, 800m freestyle 8:52.66) and four provincial marks (the aforementioned rac-

es plus the 400m free, 4:17.85). In total, he’s ripped up seven club bests – including Brad Cairns’ in the 100m free, set in 1976. But Huang is about to turn 13, so he’ll be starting a new age category with a clean slate. He said he’s up for the challenge. “It kinda motivates me to swim faster,” he said. And keep his eyes on the prize, which is to one day break the

Olympic records of American superstar swimmer Michael Phelps. “Swimming is my talent,” he said. “I don’t want to waste this chance.” Jacques also floats lofty ambitions, to compete at the Olympics and world championships. But mostly she just loves being in the water. “I love racing and practices and the people I meet and my teammates,” she said.

Burnaby u21s punch ticket to provincial quarterﬁnals By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A journey to Vancouver Island resulted in a reaffirming and satisfying victory Saturday for the EDC Burnaby under-21 men’s soccer team. Launching the provincial cup championships with a game against Cowichan United, the Burnaby squad struck first and then hung on for a 2-0 win to advance to this weekend’s quarterfinals.

Jarnail Parmar’s header, off a corner kick 20 minutes into the contest, gave EDC an early lead that doubled on Farshad Aghai’s sure shot before the half. Going in, they knew nothing about the opponent, but head coach Gilbert Kyne knew at halftime Cowichan was going to ramp it up with a two-goal hole to erase. “They came out pressing, pressing hard,” said Kyne. “We had a couple of players on yellow cards and we couldn’t afford to lose anyone.We had no subs.

“We had to be careful, but I just told them to get to their man, don’t try to do too much.” If not for netminder Anthony Matkovic, he conceded, it could very well have gone to penalty kicks. “(Matkovic) had a very good game – he actually saved us,” said Kyne. “We didn’t have our best performance of the year but we were able to take advantage early and got some great goalkeeping.” Burnaby made the trip with just 15 play-

ers, including two netminders, due to a combination of university and work commitments and injuries. Parmar is one of the team’s five 18-yearolds who have stepped into the u-21 Vancouver Metro League and looked comfortable doing it. “They are a very skilled bunch, the whole team,” said assistant coach Claudio Ramirez. “They all come from the highperformance side, and the young guys bring Continued on page 30

Continued from page 29 that youthful enthusiasm. I’m honestly surprised at how confident they were to start the year.” Burnaby’s next opponent, the Abbotsford Storm, enjoyed a bye into the quarterfinals after winning the Fraser Valley’s under-21 league title with a 14-3-3 record, and followed that by winning the u21 Cup. “We don’t know what they are like, either,” said Kyne. “We’re just going to do our thing, which is train hard and come prepared.” EDC entered the season with a new coach, just six 1997-born players, and full confidence that they could weather any storm. “This was always the expectation,” said

Kyne of competing for the provincial cup. “Our goal was always to get to the provincials and win it.” A few other Burnaby teams are pressing forward into the provincials, with an eye at making the May 12 and 13 finals, hosted at Burnaby Lake West and Swangard Stadium. The EDC FC men’s team of the Vancouver Metro League’s Masters A division host UVic Alumni on Saturday, 1:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lake West, while in Masters B action, the Burnaby Soccer League’s Wanderers FC and Europa FC both advanced to the quarterfinals.The Wanderers beat Prospect Lake 4-1 and face Vic West, Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lake. Europa blanked the Richmond Old Blacks 3-0 and go to the Island to play Cordova Bay on Saturday.

Renters on the rise in Metro Vancouver

etro Vancouver’s sky-high real estate prices are pushing up the percentage of people renting their homes, with some age groups in the city overtaking even traditionally high-rental-rate Montréal, according to a new study of 2016 Census data from Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs). Overall, the Montréal CMA still has the highest rate of renters in the country, at 44.6 per cent of households, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s report. But Montréal’s proportion of renters has declined slightly from 45 per cent in 2011, whereas Vancouver and Toronto CMAs are both on the rise. Metro Vancouver’s renter rate increased to 36.3 per cent in 2016 from 34.5 per cent in 2011. Toronto CMA’s proportion of renters rose to 33.5 per cent from 31.7 per cent during the same period.

Millennial renters rise faster When broken down by age group, among

non-immigrant millennials aged 25-34, the percentage of households who rent their home is now higher in both the Vancouver and Toronto CMAs than in Montréal. Between 2011 and 2016, the proportion of these renters in Vancouver rose by 7.4 percentage points to 63.2 per cent. This resulted in Vancouver overtaking Montréal’s renter proportion in that age group, which rose just 1.9 percentage points to 57.8 per cent. Toronto saw an even more rapid growth in renter rates among this cohort during the same period, up 10.4 percentage points to 59.4 per cent in 2016. The CMHC report said, “Based on these figures, it could be that the faster growth in housing prices in Toronto and Vancouver than in Montréal had a greater impact on first-time buyers in these two urban centres. With these steady price increases and the generally lower financial wealth of first-time buyers compared to repeat buyers, access to homeownership was probably more difficult than in the past for young households in Toronto and Vancouver.

The federal housing agency also debunked suggestions that renter rates are increasing among young people due to a lack of desire for home ownership. The report authors said, “It is also often suggested that today’s young households more frequently opt to rent because of a change in housing tastes… This hypothesis is, however, more difficult to justify in a context where the renter rate among households aged 25 to 34 did not change much between 2011 and 2016 in Montréal, but the rates increased considerably in Toronto and Vancouver. If the tastes of millennials were really the major factor… similar changes in renter rates would likely have been observed in [all three cities].” When factoring both immigrant and nonimmigrant households, the study found that Montréal still saw the highest rental rates among all age groups, and that rental rates in all age categories and all three cities were higher when including immigrant households.

View of Metrotown from Burnaby Mountain.

readers favourite VIEW

!! BURNABY MOUNTAIN

t’s no surprise that Burnaby’s tallest vantage point offers some of the city’s best views as it wins top votes in our Best of Burnaby poll. The panoramic views include those of the Burnaby Lake greenery, the growing skyline around Metrotown, the North Shore mountains and, on a clear day, downtown Vancouver. In addition to being on the way to Simon Fraser University, this park is home to Horizons Restaurant located within the park’s grounds, the photogenic Kamui Mintara totem sculptures, as well as 26 trails covering an area of 28 km. A large number of wildlife also call the mountain home, as blacktail deer, coyotes and bald eagles are commonly seen. Black bears and cougars may be less common but are most

definitely hidden among the woods. Going back in history, the area that is now Burnaby Mountain was first logged in 1903 and later became a popular hiking destination in the 1920s. It was declared a park for recreational use in 1957 and, in 1995, SFU transferred 820 of its acres to the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. A year-round destination, Burnaby Mountain offers each season’s prime views as spring and summer host a bloom of colours from the variety of different flowering plants, including more than 900 bushes in the Centennial Rose Garden. Fall features peak colours as the countless trees bring out their brightest leaves of the year, and winter snows blanket the world in a quiet and beautiful white.

The Blues & Roots Festival features more than music.

readers favourite outdoor concert of the year

!! BURNABY BLUES & ROOTS FESTIVAL

ew outdoor concert venues in Burnaby rival that of Deer Lake Park as both of the top contenders in this category take place in this magical spot. Both the Burnaby Blues & Roots and the Symphony in the Park vied for top spot in the Best Outdoor Concert of the Year category, with the Blues winning out over the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

It’s no mystery to see why this event is so popular. With wide open parkland, surrounded by trees and nature, all combined with world-class blues, this annual all-day event continues to draw the crowds. Taking place on Saturday, Aug. 11, this year’s festival features different performers on various stages throughout the day with the main stage opening up for

the last few performances just as the sun sets and dusk lights up the lake. Every year, thousands gather to take advantage of the beer garden, food trucks, and artisan village while appreciating a line-up that includes international as well as local talent. While this year’s artists have yet to be conﬁrmed, last year’s performers included a decidedly local ﬂavour

with Leeroy Stagger, Sue Foley, Murray Porter, Jesse Roper, and Jesse Waldman entertaining the crowds. Get your lawn chairs and picnic baskets ready for a day ﬁlled with folk, blues and Americana music mixed in with food, kids activities, and some dancing under the moonlight. For updates on the artists’ line-up, please visit www.burnabybluesfestival.com.

readers favourite festival

!! HATS OFF DAY

he ﬁrst weekend in June not only marks the end of a long winter and wet spring, it also marks Burnaby’s annual Hats Off Day and Burnaby’s Best Annual Festival according to our readers’ poll. This year’s festivities take place on Saturday, June 2, with a parade taking top billing as a main attraction. As with previous years, Hastings Street from Boundary Road to Gamma Avenue closes down for the event with pedestrians free to mingle afterward to

enjoy and explore the displays and vendor wares. Organized by the Heights Merchant Association, Hats Off Day began in 1989 as a chance for business owners in the North Burnaby area surrounding Hastings Street to doff their hats in appreciation to their customers and residents in the area. It’s now grown to Burnaby’s biggest street festival, attracting an average of 60,000 people every year. Kicking off the event is a Family Fun Dash where families dash a

three- block race with proceeds going to the Burnaby Fireﬁghters Charitable Society. Participants pay a $5 entry fee and dash from Madison Avenue to MacDonald Avenue along Hastings Street. To make the funﬁlled activities even more interesting, event organizers plan a different parade theme each year with prizes going to top efforts. Previous years have seen a jungle theme bring out Tarzan and Jane, while this year promises to feature eyepatches and swagger

with pirates and sailors being the main motif. In addition to businesses putting out their wares and setting up games, charitable organizations are also on hand to promote their efforts and do some fundraising, while the Show & Shine brings out the crowds who admire classic and custom-made vehicles, trucks and motorcycles. For more information please visit www.hatsoffday.com or email info@burnabyheights.com or call 604-294-8899.

Dogs and owners alike love Deer Lake Park.

readers favourite place to walk your dog

!! DEER LAKE PARK

urnaby is blessed with a wide selection of parks scattered within its borders. According to the city’s website, there are close to 100 neighbourhood parks, 13 district parks, six natural feature parks and 15 ravine parks. Standing head and shoulders above these is Deer Lake Park, which has been chosen for the ﬁfth straight year as Burnaby’s Best Place to Walk your Dog. A draw among park visitors is the extensive network of trails that run through the park, allowing people to take a short jaunt or a longer walk through the park.

Although dogs are not allowed along the banks and picnic areas of Deer Lake Park, they are more than welcome on a leash on the trails and green areas, which makes it a popular spot among dog owners in the city. Deer Lake Park is arguably at the cultural heart of the city being situated near Burnaby City Hall, Shadbolt Centre, Deer Lake Gallery and the Burnaby Village Museum. It also hosts a number of outdoor concerts and events throughout the year, including Symphony in the Park in July and Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival in August.

!! BURNABY NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE

or the second year running, Burnaby Neighbourhood House has won top votes for Best Community Service Organization among our readers. Given the cultural diversity of Burnaby (more than 60 percent of its population identiﬁes as a visible minority) it’s no wonder that this organization is so popular. The primary purpose of the Burnaby Neighbourhood House is to provide a place for new immigrants to come for information, support and resources, and a place where people can gather, whether they’re seniors, youth, families or individuals. Its underlying philosophy is

that everyone should have equal access to community programs and services, and that such programs should be accessible and affordable to all. Volunteers are what make the Neighbourhood House (with its two locations, one in North Burnaby and the other in South Burnaby) a success. They’re an integral part of the wide range of events and services offered such as a paint night, cultural sharing dinners, and the annual open house. Volunteers also help with the fundraising, which includes a number of events throughout the year and is highlighted by an annual gala diamond evening.

readers favourite burnaby celebrity

!! MICHAEL BUBLÉ

urnaby has its fair share of celebrity sons and daughters. Some who regularly get votes in this category include actor Carrie-Anne Moss, NHL’s Joe Sakic and Global News’ Squire Barnes, but this category could in fact be called the battle of the Michaels – Michael J. Fox and Michael Bublé as both get a majority of the votes. Fresh off his appearance at this year’s Juno Awards that were recently held in Vancouver, Michael Bublé won this year’s Best of Burnaby celebrity. Bublé is back in business and is all smiles about the upcoming arrival of a baby girl with his wife Luisana Lopilato after having taken last year off performing to take care

of his four-year-old son who’s cancer is in remission. Part of Michael’s appeal in Burnaby is his strong ties to the community. He’s been known to support the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, the Burnaby RCMP, the Canucks Autism Network, Canucks Family Education Centre and Canuck Place hospice. Bublé got his start as a teenager, playing gigs whenever he could at nightclubs and weddings. His star rose with regular television appearances on the Vicki Gabereau show, a national broadcast shot in Vancouver. He hasn’t looked back, winning fans both here and beyond as well as 13 Juno Awards. For more information please visit michaelbublé.com.
