Bridge closures coming Maintenance will close bridge on three summer weekends BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Royal City residents accustomed to dealing with traffic from the Pattullo Bridge will soon be enjoying the sound of silence – temporarily. The Pattullo Bridge is being closed to traffic on three weekends this summer for routine maintenance. TransLink has planned weekend closures for July 25 to 28, Aug. 15 to 18 and Aug. 29 to Sept. 1. For this weekend’s closure, the bridge will close at 8 p.m. Friday and reopen at 3 a.m. Monday. In future closures, the bridge will close at 9 p.m. on Fridays. As the owner of the Pattullo Bridge, TransLink states it must close the bridge so crews can repair and repave sections of the concrete deck on the 77-year-old span. With no vehicles crossing the bridge, TransLink will also take the opportunity to review the condition of the bridge driving surface and make any necessary improvements. While the bridge will be closed to motorists, TransLink noted that emergency vehicles will still have access to the Pattullo Bridge during the closures. “This maintenance work will help ensure road safety on the bridge,” said a TransLink media release. “Other structural issues, such as narrow lanes, seismic concern or the need for barriers ◗Pattullo Page 8

Artists called for inaugural show Wait for Me, Daddy serves as inspiration for work for ﬁrst exhibit at Anvil Centre

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The iconic Wait for Me, Daddy photo is the inspiration for the inaugural exhibition in Anvil Centre’s community arts space. The City of New Westminster has issued a call for proposals for two-dimensional works of art that reference themes and sentiments of the photo taken by Province newspaper photographer Claude P. Dettloff on Oct. 1, 1940. Wait for Me, Daddy shows young Warren “Whitey” Bernard rushing to say goodbye to his father as he marched down Eighth Street with a group of soldiers and his mother reaching out to the youngster. “The theme behind it is looking at the themes of the photograph such as family, family separation, loss, war. We are looking for artists that reference that in their work,” said Biliana Velkova, the city’s arts coordinator. “So it’s not specific about the photograph – they can work with the photograph, but it’s wider than that. That’s the starting point.” Submissions, which are open to emerging and established New Westminster artists, are due by Aug. 1. The exhibition will complement the Wait for Me, Daddy sculpture in Hyack Square, which is being unveiled on Oct. 4. The city is planning a series of cultural activities leading up to the unveiling of the Wait for Me, Daddy sculpture. The exhibition will take place in the community art space on the third floor of Anvil Centre, near the theatre, museums and newmedia gallery. “It’s quite big. It can take a large number of works,” Velkova said of the exhibit space. “It has a lot of visibility because of the traffic of people that are going to see the theatre, also the traffic of people going to see the museum and the gallery. And of course, you can see it from Columbia Street through the window.” Submissions will be reviewed through a jury process. The exhibition will open on Sept. 14. “We are really excited for a few reasons, mainly because it is the inaugural exhibit for the community arts space at Anvil Centre,”

Coquitlam not pleased with plan

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect of a recent break-and-enter. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man with a shaven or bald head. He was seen wearing a blue jacket, white shirt, dark pants and dark shoes. Anyone who may know the identity of the man is asked to contact Const. Todd Sweet at 604-5292439. twitter.com/cayleydobie

Do you recognize him? Police are trying to identify the man captured in this surveillance photo.

Coquitlam opposes one of the changes New Westminster is contemplating for its official community plan. After reviewing the regional context statement for New Westminster’s OCP update, Coquitlam city council passed a resolution to object to the proposed amendments that removed references to the North Fraser Perimeter truck route plan from the document. It also passed a motion to encourage New Westminster to recognize, in the context statement, the importance of establishing regional transportation connections to facilitate efficient goods movement between Coquitlam and New Westminster. – Theresa McManus

OUR VIEW

Dietitians of Canada. And while we, too, support the effort, we think it’s important to note that healthy choices start before we wheel our shopping cart down the grocery store aisle. It starts with meal planning and cooking from scratch rather than grab-and-go meals from a fast food outlet. It starts with walking to the corner grocer for a carton of milk instead of taking the car. It starts with sending our kids to the

park to play rather than allowing endless hours of screen time indoors. Easier-to-read food labels are a welcome step in the effort to build a nation of healthier eaters. But costly consultations, policy papers and regulations won’t end obesity or curtail the continued rise of diabetes. Healthy choices start with changing what has become for all of us a culture of convenience. – guest editorial courtesy of North Shore News

Playing games with taxes is dangerous IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

ther than beautiful scenery and having the same monarch, B.C. and Australia don’t have much in common. And they have even less in common now, because Australia has scrapped its carbon tax, which is still very much alive and kicking in this province. The Australian carbon tax was introduced in 2010 by a Labor Party government that had just won an election after vowing not to implement such a tax. However, while the Labor Party won the election, it did not win a majority of seats. It needed the support of the Green Party to form government and the price for that was giving the Green Party what it wanted: a carbon tax, which Labor had been on record as opposing before the election. Needless to say, the public was furious. The Labor Party subsequently changed leaders and said it would repeal the carbon tax, but it was still defeated in last year’s election. There is a striking parallel here, of course, to another tax controversy: the HST that former premier Gordon Campbell

sprang on an unsuspecting public after the 2009 election campaign, during which his party had actually stated it had no designs to introduce such a tax. Like his Australian counterparts, Campbell was driven from office by a tax revolt. Except, the critical difference here is that another big tax brought in by Campbell – the carbon tax – generated no such revolt, and instead appears to have paid off. In fact, B.C.’s carbon tax actually hurt the party that opposed it – the NDP, which opposed the tax after it was introduced in 2008, and made its opposition to the tax a key part of its 2009 election platform, which was firmly rejected by the voters. Campbell artfully tied this province’s carbon tax to a corresponding income tax cut, and a significant rebate scheme for low-income earners. The result has been that any call for a repeal of the carbon tax in this province would be linked to a tax increase. That’s because the tax collects about $1.1 billion annually, which pays for almost $200 million in tax credits and rebates for low-income people, plus a five per cent income tax cut ($235 million) and more than $700 million for a host of business tax cuts. Getting rid of the tax, then, would increase everyone’s income tax bill by five per cent, hit poor people particularly hard, and hit businesses with tax

Dear Editor:

Re: Plans on track for train silence, The Record, July 16. I was very pleased to learn that the train whistles are apparently going to be silenced as per your article in the 2014 July 16 issue. We live almost across the street from the crossing that provides access to the Sapperton Landing Regional Park, at Cumberland and East Columbia Street. As you know, this access is closed to vehicular traffic anywhere from 8 till 10 p.m. according to the time of year. This being summer, and the days being longer, they are closed at 10 p.m. I still cannot comprehend why the train operators lean on their whistles at midnight, when the access gate at Columbia is closed! The whistles continue all night, and now that it ◗Carbon tax Page 7

is summer, they seem particularly loud as we have been obliged to open our windows! Has anybody ever thought about reducing the sound the whistle makes which must be very high decibels; and have a quieter sounding whistle that is at least 75 per cent quieter than the loud blasts from the trumpeting air horns currently affixed on these lumbering locomotives? I swear that some train engineers have used some of the very loud air-horns to act as air brakes. Let’s hope they will soon disappear and all we will hear is the rumble of the engines!

to the end of cleaning the buildings of our strata complex. One technician advised the soiled wood shingles that had to be sanded to be cleaned, were embedded with diesel soot. The naming of our address after a war hero, that is, “Smokey Smith,” has taken on a whole new meaning. I Googled heavy hydrocarbons and sulfuric acid, which make up diesel particulate matter, and their effects on human health are not fully understood, despite considerable research. The provincial government, recognizing that diesel emissions, apart from cardiac and respiratory disease, are also responsible for approximately 67 per cent of the lifetime cancer risk from air pollution in Metro Vancouver, instigated the diesel retrofit requirement – the diesel oxidation catalyst filter. Will this “DOC” filter save us from harm? Has there been any follow-up to the recommendations from the air quality study of 2009 (main focus was Front Street) to sample on a more regular basis other areas of New Westminster? What will be the impact of reopening the Braid Street bridge to United Boulevard truck traffic? My questions and investigations continue, and so should yours. Nancy Milliken, via email

Motorbikes too noisy Dear Editor:

As a resident of uptown New Westminster, I am becoming very frustrated with the never-ending racket from a few motorcycles with the extremely loud pipes. There is a small number of them that are often raced up and down Sixth Street past the Royal City Centre mall late into the evening hours, sometimes until midnight. This makes it very difficult to sleep, and with the heat of summer, and having to open windows and balcony doors to keep from suffocating, it would be nice to see the operators of the noisy machines realize they are disrupting the neighbourhood. Most of the bikes passing by are relatively quiet, but there are several that are habitually raced in both directions on Sixth Street. It seems that the street is being used as a race track. It appears that New Westminster does not have any anti-noise bylaws or that if it does, the police can’t be bothered to enforce them. This problem is particularly chronic in the summer time. I would like to see something done about this as I am sure that many others in the neighbourhood feel the same way. As I previously stated, most of the bikes have a tolerable noise level and I am fine with that. My complaint is about possibly two or three bikes that repeatedly do make what I consider to be excessive and unnecessary noise. There should be some kind of limitation on it. Ian Robertson, New Westminster

Carbon tax: Fossil fuel use down ◗ continued from page 6

hikes that would inevitably be passed onto consumers. No wonder the NDP doesn’t talk about the tax much these days. But the carbon tax also appears to be having the desired impact on what it is supposed to do: lead to a reduction in the use of carbon. According to Sustainable Prosperity, an Ottawa-based “green” research group, fossil fuel use in B.C. has dropped by 16 per cent since the tax came in. Meanwhile, fossil fuel use in the rest of Canada has actually gone up three per cent in that same time period. And as for Australia, well, its status as one of the world’s worst greenhouse gas emitters per capita will continue. The

country relies heavily on its vast reserves of cheap coal for its supply of electricity. The country has also blown about a $7 billion hole in government revenues over the next four years, which will undoubtedly have negative repercussions for the delivery of health care, education and social services. I’m not sure whether the opposite experiences of B.C. and Australia when it comes to a carbon tax means people of one jurisdiction are any more or less environmentally friendly than those in the other. But I do think there’s a lesson here about how to introduce new taxes, whether they are carbonrelated or not. The lesson is this: if a

government is going to create a new tax, do it just before an election campaign and not immediately after one. The B.C. Liberals did that with a carbon tax but failed to do so with the HST. The party was badly bruised and was forced to dump its leader but still won another term in power. The Australian Labor party implemented the carbon tax like the B.C. Liberals handled the HST, and subsequently chewed up two of its leaders before being booted from power. Playing games with taxes can be very dangerous for governments. B.C.’s carbon tax is an example of the right way of playing the game. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Sexual assault suspect may have fled country BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A New Westminster man charged with sexual assault is still on the run. Fred Bilawey was arrested and charged in March with one count of sexual assault relating to a help-wanted ad he allegedly posted on Craigslist. As The Record previously reported, the victim alleges she was sexually assaulted after responding to the ad. New Westminster police released Bilawey’s photo to the public in April in an attempt to locate other possible victims in the case. Shortly after the photo was released, Bilawey, who was believed to be suicidal, fled the city. Police initiated a search and eventually located Bilawey but wouldn’t say where he was found.

It’s been two months since Bilawey skipped town and now the Crown is looking to locate the 52-year-old after he failed to appear in court as scheduled. “The New Westminster Police Department can confirm that Mr. Fred Bilawey is currently charged with one count of sexual assault under section 271 of the Criminal Code,” read a statement Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland emailed to The Record. “We can also confirm that a warrant for Mr. Bilawey’s arrest currently exists, issued after he failed to make a court appearance on this matter. New Westminster Police Department investigators have information that Mr. Bilawey is not currently in the country; however further specifics on this are not being released at this time.” twitter.com/cayleydobie

School plans expansion Urban Academy is hoping to expand its educational offerings. The New Westminster private school is proposing to enter into a heritage revitalization agreement with the city for changes being proposed at Robson Manor. The plan would see some exterior and interior elements of the 1935 building at 101 Third St. restored. The society is also proposing to acquire the site at 228 Manitoba St., demolish the two-storey, eight-unit

rental apartment building and build a new school building around the existing school in Robson Manor. A preliminary staff report to council states that the proposed new school building would be three storeys above grade and contain mostly classroom space. An additional two storeys located below grade would include space for music rooms, drama theatre, a gymnasium and parking. – Theresa McManus

Ofﬁce tower sign OK’d

New Westminster city council has approved a variance for a sign on top of the office tower at Anvil Centre. The city applied to council to vary the sign bylaw for 777 Columbia St. so a 22.8-square-metre (245-square-foot) realty sign can be placed on top of the building. Although the proposed sign is larger than what’s permitted in the city’s sign bylaw, a

city staff report stated it would be removed once the office tower is leased. “The sign would be located at the top of the office tower and would not be visible at a smaller scale,” the report said. Council approved the variance at its July 7 meeting, the last meeting before meetings resume on Aug. 25 after the summer break.

Public tickles ivories on street piano T

he strains of Mary Had a Little Lamb or Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata could be drifting across New Westminster’s waterfront this summer thanks to a street-piano project launched this month. A public piano has been set up outside the River Market for anyone to play. Inspired by similar programs in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and New York, Pianos on the Street is a summer project that places free, playable pianos in various open-air locations throughout the Metro Vancouver area. Organized by the Piano Teachers Federation, the program is aimed at building bridges throughout the community. Federation founder Sean Pacey hopes it will ignite or re-ignite people’s appreciation of the piano. “Basically this is an opportunity for the general public, and also for our teachers to gain exposure,” he said. Owner of Pacey’s Pianos in Vancouver, Pacey donated the instrument – a small, brown upright – and has partnered CORNELIA NAYLOR with the Community Living Society to add a little colour to it. The society supports adults with developmental disabilities, and clients Mark Pacey (Pacey’s uncle) and Leslie Fehr were enlisted to help paint New West’s new outdoor piano. “We feel this is a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and to offer our support to such a great organization as well as to connect members of the CLS through a shared love of music,” Pacey said. The piano will be at the Quay for the rest of the summer. Those who want to go beyond just tickling the ivories for a while in the open air can also enter a video contest with cash prizes of up to $400 and a chance to play with the North Shore Symphony. Upload a video of yourself playing the piano to www. supportpiano.com.

12th Street Music Fest on this Sunday

BY JACOB ZINN REPORTER jzinn@royalcityrecord.com

Drivers, stay away from 12th Street this Sunday – unless you want to go to one of the Royal City’s biggest summer parties. The annual 12th Street Music Festival is back this summer, taking over the route between Sixth and 10th avenues with live

music, dancing and barbecued food. The free event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is being put on by Save-On-Foods. “We are thrilled and excited at the involvement of Save-On-Foods in our festival this year,” said West End Business Association president Amber Anderson. “This will insure that we have

quality entertainment and loads of free fun for the entire family.” Jazz, blues, rock and swing music will emanate from the New West corridor across four stages throughout the day. The Nanaimo Street stage will feature the bluesy sounds of Wendy Biscuit, Lesismore, The Syndicate and the Telapathetics.

The Matt Brabbins Remax Advantage stage at Edinburgh Street will host music by Funkdaliciouse and battle of the bands winner Silver Spurs, along with a performance by children’s entertainer Ishdafish. New West jazz artists Ed and Salve Dayao – who also run and perform at the Java Jazz Café and Bistro – will host local and regional

talent at the 10th Avenue stage while the Royal City Swing will jump, jive and wail at Seventh Avenue. Near Dublin Street, the young’uns can take in the activities in the Kids Zone: a petting zoo, arts and crafts, balloons, face painting and popcorn with Glenbrooke Day Care will give them plenty to do in the afternoon.

Dozens of local businesses and vendors will also be up and down 12th Street, and don’t think you’ll leave on an empty stomach – there’s lots of good food on hand as well. For more information, check facebook.com/ 12thStreetMusicFestival. For vendor information, email newweba@gmail. com.

Summer arts events in the park THE LIVELY CITY

JACOB ZINN

he sky is blue, the air is fresh and the parks are filling up with things to do this summer. Here are a few events at three of New West’s best parks.

Art in Ryall Park Pianos aren’t the only

THE

thing popping up at the Ryall Park Bandshell – Family Art in the Park, an all-ages art adventure, is taking over the site on Friday, July 25. The one-night-only event encourages all members of your family to get their creative juices flowing through an introductory art session that includes experimenting with colour and texture while drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of New West. The event runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m., with an $8 registration fee for adults and $6 for children.

Poetry in nature

Care for a sonnet on the lawn? How about a few stanzas in the forest? Poet laureate Candice James has brought back her free Poetry in the Park series, running at the Queen’s Park Bandshell every Wednesday until Aug. 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Scheduled readings and open mike sessions will be arranged each week. And don’t think the evening is cancelled if it rains. Should it start pouring outside, the festivities will be held indoors at the

arts council gallery space in Centennial Lodge.

Dancing the midsummer away

William Shakespeare’s numerous works are making appearances on all sorts of stages this summer, but the organizers of A Midsummer Night’s Dance are taking some cues from Bill’s 1590s comedy for an event that will have you on your feet. Local author and arts entrepreneur Diane Haynes, graphic artist Johanna Bartels and

Royal City Farmers’ Market operations manager Melissa Maltais are behind the free July 24 dance event at Tipperary Park. DJ Gab will spin music throughout the funfilled night. “We’re setting up Eventbrite registration so we have an idea of numbers,” said Haynes in a release,“ and thanks to the generosity of New West businesses, we’ll be giving away Swag Bags to the first 100 registrants.” Attendees are encouraged to come in costume to the “magical woodland”

themed dance, though anything goes for costumes! There will be a kids’ costume parade early in the evening, with the event starting at 7 p.m. and running until 10 p.m. For more information or to volunteer to help out, check facebook.com/amid summernightsdance. To pre-register, visit eventbrite.ca and search for “A Midsummer Night’s Dance.” Send Lively City items to Jacob Zinn, jzinn@royalcity record.com, or follow him on Twitter, @jacobzinn.

Shred it: The New Westminster Fireﬁghters’ Charitable Society raised funds for its many charity endeavours at the annual shred-athon. Fireﬁghters including Tom Schneider, left, and Dustin Matson helped residents and businesses dispose of their old documents.

Shredding it for charity

New Westminster firefighters fought the heat – not fires – at this year’s shred-athon. The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society held its annual shred-athon fundraiser on July 12 at the Canada Games Pool parking lot. Despite the sweltering heat, firefighters collected reams of paper and Shred-It quickly shredded it on site. “We raised $3,200. We were pretty happy with that,” said firefighter Trevor Tougas. “The weather probably hindered some people. The people who came out were quite generous.” No figures were available about the amount of paper shredded during the annual fundraiser, but it’s believed it exceeded last year’s total. “Last year we did 4,800 kilos,” Tougas said. “I’d

imagine this year we were able to do a little bit more.” The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society holds a variety of fundraisers throughout the year and disperses funds to a number of organizations. The society will be holding its biannual Hydrant Cup hockey game against the Vancouver Canucks Alumni sometime in November. Firefighters will also take part in a number of community events in the coming months, including the open house at the Glenbrook fire hall in September and a fundraiser for Honour House in August. – Theresa McManus

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

B.C. boys back Canada to third world field lax title

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Kevin Crowley led Canada to just its third gold medal at the International Lacrosse Federation world championships. The New Westminster midfielder scored five of Canada’s opening six goals, including a highlight behind-the-back marker and the eventual game-winning tally at 9:05 of the third quarter, en route to an 8-5 victory over the United States in the gold-medal final before nearly 12,000 partisan fans at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado on Saturday. “World champs, world champs. Yesterday after the game, people were interviewing me. It hadn’t really sunk in, but (today) world champions sounds pretty good,”

said Crowley on a long-distance call to The Record on Sunday. “In 2010, for me in Manchester (England), I was a late addition. But this time around, I made sure I was prepared for it. All my preparation was for this gold-medal game.” It was the third world for Canada, which also won gold in 1978 and 2006. For the Americans, it was a bitter defeat in front of their hometown fans to not win a record 10th world championship title. “It was unbelievable to see (the U.S.) faces after the game and to starve them of possession,” said Crowley. “We had like a blue-collar mentality. We carried our own bags to the game, unlike the Americans. … it was really special to take it to them.” Canada dominated the ground

game in the championship final, scooping up 35 ground balls and maintaining possession of the ball for long spells in the game. The Canadians led 3-1 at the half and 7-2 heading into the final quarter. The loss was the first in the tournament for the U.S. squad, which beat Canada 10-7 on the opening day of the championships. Canada goalie Dillon Ward made 10 stops in the final and was named the tournament’s top keeper and the first keeper to ever win the overall championship MVP. Ward fashioned a 63.3 save percentage at the worlds. Other local players –nicknamed the “604 Boys” – included all-world team attack Curtis Dickson, with ◗Worlds Page 18

Junior A ﬁnal gets underway today The much-anticipated B.C. Junior Lacrosse League final between the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the Coquitlam Adanacs kicks off tonight (Wednesday) at Queen’s Park Arena. Game 1 between the two top nationally-ranked clubs will face off at 8 p.m. New West currently

The best-of-seven playoff final will pick up again on Friday at the Coquitlam Sports Centre at 7:30 p.m. Game 3 will be played at Queen’s Park on Saturday, July 26 at 8 p.m. Game 4 will be back at the Poirier Street centre in Coquitlam on Monday, July 28 at 7:30 p.m. If necessary, a game 5, 6

B.C. beats Uruguay in international test Some of B.C.’s biggest wins occurred well in the past, when B.C. upset Australia 11-8 in 1958, the British Lions 8-3 in 1966 and Scotland 22-13 in 1985. “We were obviously very pleased with the result and proud of the effort of the players,” said B.C.

B.C. Rugby scored one of its best-ever international victories on the final leg of a tour to South America. The B.C. Bears, including five starters from the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, edged Uruguay’s senior men’s national team 21-20 in Montevideo on Saturday. The win was the first time B.C.’s provincial team has beaten a full international test side since the Bears downed Russia 38-16 in 2009.

Admir Cejvanovic of Burnaby were among the B.C. forwards, while scrum half Cody Rockson and centre’s Evan Thomas and Steve Battie also started for the Bears. Burnaby Lake’s Andrew Lackner, Scott MacKay and Nate Mantle backed up the B.C. starting 15.

familybanking.ca When it comes to family, it’s the little things that count. And when you count up the small wins in the Unlimited Family Plan, it means big savings for the whole family. Discover this ﬁrst of its kind banking product, ﬁrst hand, at familybanking.ca.

The Unlimited Family Plan is full of family-focused features designed to help you save – and at a price comparable to typical single-account products, this ﬁrst of its kind plan allows you to include up to 4 family members at no additional cost. The sky’s the limit.

UNLIMITED CHEQUING An unlimited chequing account that isn’t limited to just chequing. We include withdrawals, deposits, debits, bill payments … well, you get the point. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

NO WORRIES BANKING Rest easy with 2 email money transfers and 3 non-network ATM withdrawals free every month, as well as 2 forgiven overdraft fees every year. Try saving, without the trying part.

HANDSFREE SAVINGS It’s hard work running a family while trying to save for this, that and the other thing. We’ll help take the burden off your shoulders, and put the savings directly into your account. Pass the savings please!

$20 FAMILY PASS Finally there’s a fail-safe way for families to share. Everyone gets everything! Share the beneﬁts with up to 3 more people and watch everyone’s small wins add up to big savings.

Let’s call a family meeting! If you’re interested in signing up for the Unlimited Family Plan, or if you have any questions, just call or visit us online. 604.517.0100 | familybanking.ca | #SmallWin
