Southgate plan to go to public hearingMario [email protected]

The master plan for the proposed new Southgate community will go to a public hearing on Sept. 30.

The community is to be built on a 48-acre site that used to be a Safeway distribution centre, an area bounded by 15th and 18th streets, between 11th and 14th avenues in Edmonds.

The development vision is to build different forms of housing, including up to 20 towers ranging from 19 to 46 storeys. The plan also includes a five-acre park that will be owned and operated by the city.

Coun. Nick Volkow, who drove truck out of the distribution centre for 38 years, said he’s excited about the future development of the site.

“I know the history of that site when it was vacant land in 1957,” said Volkow. “It’s an exciting time for the southeast corner of Burnaby.”

In a preliminary concept plan by architects IBI Group and PWL Partnership presented at an open house in June, the site will be transformed into five complete neighbourhoods clustered around the central park, which also includes a 20,000 square-foot community building.

Kinder Morgan began its surveying work at Burnaby Mountain on Wednesday, only days after the National Energy Board ruled the company didn’t need permission from the City of Burnaby to access city land.

A team of three fisheries

biologists wearing hip waders scurried along the banks of Stoney Creek in Eastlake Park taking measurements and logging flora.

They also placed small traps into the water to take a census of minnows and other creatures living in the creek.

The surveying work is being done to support the company’s application to the NEB to run its

expanded Trans Mountain pipeline to the Westridge terminal through Burnaby Mountain.

Carey Johannesson, the pipeline project’s lead for land and right-of-way, said geotechnical surveying would begin Thursday.

That involves clearing a path along the route the pipeline will pass through Burnaby Mountain

so seismic lines can be placed for geologists.

Crews will also have to drill into the mountain from two locations. One drill rig will be mounted on a truck while another will have to be constructed on the mountainside, another bone of contention with the city, which needs to issue permits for that construction to proceed.

Rosie Hunter didn’t break a sweat when she was presented a blank canvas 65 feet long and 15 feet high to cover with paint.

Instead, she let her imagination run wild.

The result was unveiled on Tuesday.

Hunter’s canvas was actually a cinderblock wall in North Burnaby, next to the parking lot at Cristo’s Greek Taverna on Hastings Street.

The painting she worked on for more than two months is the ninth wall-sized mural commissioned by the Burnaby Heights Merchants Association over the last 18 years.

The idea of the mural program, explained Isabel Kolic, the association’s executive director, is to not only beautify the neighbourhood but also to provide a “cultural landscape” that enhances its character.

“Over time we want the murals to become a vibrant way to transform our streetscape,” said Kolic.

The murals also help discourage troublesome graffiti, said Pietro Calendino, Burnaby

city councillor and the chair of the community policing committee.

That’s why the city kicks in up to $3,500 to help pay for the commission.

Other funding comes from federal student employment programs.

Kolic said the mural artists are

given no guidelines or themes to restrict their creativity.

“Each piece is unique, like the artist,” said Kolic.

That was especially enticing to Hunter, who’s about to enter her second year studying fine arts at Langara College.

She’d been involved in two previous mural projects, in her

hometown of Sechelt. But they had very specific

parameters and subject matter.She said being able to create

whatever she wanted gave the project integrity.

“People can tell when something is genuine,” said Hunter, 19.

Her mural depicts a gaping

cave lined with twinkling crystals and supported by rock pillars.

That it’s situated just across Hastings Street from Mountain Gems, a store for rockhounds, is just happenstance.

Hunter said she’s been fascinated by crystals since she was little.

Her most memorable Christmas gift as a child was a collection of crystals her father assembled for her.

All the jewelry she wears incorporates crystals.

“I just love crystals,” she said.

Of course painting out in the open, on such a grand scale, elicited all kinds of questions and suggestions.

Calendino said at first he thought Hunter was painting an abstract interpretation of Burnaby’s skyline.

Another observer suggested Hunter paint a big Jesus portrait to fill the black chasm in the depths of the cave.

But Hunter stayed true to her original, and very personal, vision.

“All I can hope for as an artist is make the world a little better place than it would be otherwise,” she said.

New mural crystallizes in the Heights

MarIO BarTeL/newSLeaderRosie Hunter, 19, loves crystals. So when she won the commission to paint the ninth mural in the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood, she opted to paint them on a huge scale.

The City of Burnaby recently filed a constitutional challenge, saying the NEB can’t override provincial laws and municipal bylaws.

Johannesson said the

company is still trying to work with the city to address its concerns.

“When you do a project of this nature, you know there’s going to be all kinds of

different opinions about the project,” he said.

“We’re looking at it from the perspective that it’s a national project. There’s going to be

a full opportunity for people, including the City of Burnaby, to make presentations and to provide information to the board.”

An observer from the city was on hand Wednesday to watch the work going on in

Stoney Creek.Johannesson said the

surveying work will be taking place over the next couple of months, and then again in the spring.

He said Burnaby Mountain is the last major piece of the pipeline’s route

from Alberta that still needs to be assessed to satisfy the NEB’s requirements for its application to build the pipeline.

“We’re still quite a ways away from a decision,” he said.

A message from the Burnaby Board of Education Back to school is usu-

ally a time of excite-ment and anticipation. This year, with the on-going labour dispute, there is the added feel-ing of uncertainly for we are not sure when the 2014/15 school year will begin.

The Burnaby Board of Education and senior staff team continue to remind those at the bargaining table that the needs of our students are a shared priority. We are proud that Burnaby’s public schools mean that every child is provided with an opportunity to learn and to reach their potential and that we continue to lead the way, winning local, provincial, national, and international awards

As a district, we remain focused on developing programs and courses to meet the learning needs of our diverse student population. This years’ new programs include:

• AP Capstone Diplo-ma program at two secondary schools

• MACC program for elementary students who require more in-depth learning

• Take a Hike, an adventure based, secondary alterna-tive program

• Digital Citizenship course, teaching grade 8 & 9 students to use social me-dia effectively and safety.

Like you, we hope for a quick contract reso-lution, so that we can reopen the doors of our classrooms and let the learning journey of our students continue. As elected trustees, we are committed to en-suring that the 2014/15 school year will be successful for all.

The city of Burnaby is trying to rally other communities to join its fight against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Monday, council endorsed an emergency resolution to be presented at the Union of BC Municipalities’ annual convention in Whistler Sept. 22-26. The resolution calls upon provincial and federal governments to implore the National Energy Board to subject the pipeline project to a full public hearing.

Council is opposed to the $5.4-billion expansion that would triple the pipeline’s capacity to 900,000 barrels of oil a day as it passes from Alberta through Burnaby to the Westridge terminal.

Mayor Derek Corrigan has been especially critical of the review process, which has been delayed seven months and eliminated the option for commenters to speak and cross examine the applicant.

“Whether you’re for or against the Kinder Morgan project, you should have an opportunity to comment,” said Corrigan.

A report presented to council as background to the emergency resolution pointed out that previous NEB reviews of proposed major energy projects had allowed intervenors the chance to give oral testimony and cross examine evidence. Even reviews of projects that didn’t automatically require a public hearing, such as an application in 2012 by Trans Mountain for a tolling system on its expanded pipeline, did provide an opportunity for cross examination.

Corrigan said holding public hearings ensures the review process is open and accountable.

“If they’re in a hearing, they (the NEB) have to listen,” said Corrigan. “That’s why people have confidence in a public hearing.”

Coun. Anne Kang said with so much at stake, it’s only fair for the public to be

able to ask questions publicly.“Some of the tough questions

are around issues of human health, emergency responses,” said Kang. “To not allow a public forum is just not right.”

Coun. Paul McDonnell said the city has to hold public hearings when it considers new projects, so it’s only fair for the NEB to do the same.

“It should be as transparent as possible so people can make their own decision,” said McDonnell. “The process is flawed.”

The resolution will have to be reviewed by the UBCM’s resolution committee before it’s presented to the convention for debate.

Burnaby to rally cities in pipeline fight

Kinder Morgan’s plan to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline includes plans to more than double the number of tanks on Burnaby Mountain.

“The most important thing in life is sincerity.”

At least that’s what our Korean tour guide, SP, informed us via his microphone as we travelled to the DMZ on an air-conditioned bus. Not the typical tour guide banter you’d expect to hear heading to the demilitarized zone; one of the most heavily guarded areas on Earth.

Nevertheless, over the course of our two-week summer vacation, we were repeatedly reminded of SP’s words of wisdom by the actions of strangers all over Seoul.

I should state here that SP wasn’t randomly rambling on; rather, he was expounding on Confucianism and its importance in Korean society.

And what a society it’s become! Over the past 60 years since

the end of the Korean War, South Korea has progressed from being a war-ravaged nation with a per capita GDP of Sub-Saharan Africa to a member of the OECD as one of the world’s most economically developed countries.

In fact, according to my sister (who’s on assignment there in the Foreign Service), South Korea is the only nation to ever make the transition from being a financial aid receiver to a financial aid donor.

That’s a monumental shift. Think about it. Six decades ago, the home of Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Kia, was a place where people were starving and rummaging the land for scraps of food.

Back then, the most common greeting heard in Korea wasn’t, “Aanyunghaaseyo.” No, instead of, “Hi. How are you?” people greeted each other with, “Jam shim ul jal mogawsoyo?” It means, “Have you eaten?” And it’s an expression—born out of abject poverty—that still echoes in the prosperous, booming

South Korea of today.It’s a verbal reminder of just

how far this economic and technological powerhouse has come. It also speaks to the value I highlighted at the outset of this article: sincerity.

And like I said earlier, it’s more than just lip service. The good people of Seoul moved us with their actions. Literally. We lost track of how many times locals approached us at subway stations offering assistance.

When we had our touristy moments, sincerity was always close at hand.

... like the man who made his own family wait at one subway platform while he insisted on escorting us all the way to our correct subway line. Did I mention there were several sets of stairs involved in the walk?

... like the woman sitting by herself at a subway stop, who hardly spoke any English, but had a cellphone. She saw us looking at a map on the wall and approached us. After playing a semi-productive game of charades with her, she dialled

up her English-speaking sister and handed me the phone so she could guide us to our desired destination.

... like the teenager working at the coffee stand, who left his post beside his father to see if he could be of any help to us. He ran from one end of the station to the other, apron and all, eventually finding a subway worker to get us through the right gate with the right tickets.

... like the young woman at another subway gate who saw my mom scan her transit card, which still had money on it, but to no avail. She took one look around, grabbed my mom’s hand, and said, “You come with me fast,” as they both squeezed through the gate quicker than you can say, “Kamsahamnida!” (Thank You!).

At first I thought these small gestures were random acts of Korean kindness. But I now believe they’re cultural byproducts of a society that lifted itself from the rubble with hard work, teamwork and compassion.

How a Korean vacation moved us

The provincial government announced its latest tax hike on Tuesday.

As has been the case in recent years, it did so indirectly. In fact, the announcement was made by ICBC, which plans to raise its basic rates, which all motorists must pay, by 5. 2 per cent.

The province is expecting to get $480 million in dividends from ICBC in the three years from 2014 to 2017, and another $1.23 billion from BC Hydro. Both of these massive dividend payments are on the back of ratepayers—those who have no choice but to buy electricity from BC Hydro and basic auto insurance from ICBC.

This is being done so the government can balance its budget and claim to be a good fiscal manager. Meanwhile, the rate increases planned by both corporations are far beyond inflation, and disguised as being necessary “because of more claims due to distracted driving” (ICBC) and “the need for capital expenditures.” (BC Hydro).

No one doubts BC Hydro needs to upgrade its power network, or that ICBC needs enough money to pay for increased claims. But claims of balanced budgets by the BC Liberals must be dissected.

The government is not running a surplus from day-to-day operations.

It would be in a constant deficit not for dividends from Crown corporations.

Both of these corporations were set up to provide benefits to B.C. residents. BC Hydro was set up by the Social Credit in 1961 and ICBC was set up by the NDP in 1973. Neither was set up to be an ongoing cash cow.

The province does get additional revenue from the B.C. Lottery Corporation and the Liquor Distribution Branch, but there is a key difference. No one has to buy a lottery ticket, go to the casino or buy liquor.

Those are choices people make. This latest disguised tax

increase is unacceptable.—Langley Times

Going in, I already knew that South Korea had produced some of the world’s most successful minds and businesses, such as Samsung, LG and Hyundai.

And thanks to our Burnaby Lougheed MLA Jane Shin (the first Korean Canadian elected to the Legislature), I had the pleasure of taking a private tour of one of Korea’s top technical colleges (similar to BCIT), to see firsthand the importance given to advanced education and specialized skills training.

During our stay, I learned from a BBC news report that Seoul was also the world’s most sleep-deprived city (Yes, even more than you, New York!), with professionals working long hours.

Yet, while this bustling city may be short on sleep, my family and I can firmly attest that it’s balanced by an abundance of soul.

Balance. Yin and Yang. The circular centrepiece of the South Korean flag, symbolizing the proactive and reactive forces that converge to create harmony within and all around us.

That’s what our tour guide, SP, told us.

And that’s what we experienced in Korea for ourselves.

The city of Burnaby is contributing $1.018 million to help the George Derby Care Society build a new supportive housing project for seniors next to its residential care centre on 16th Avenue.

The money will come from the city’s density bonus program.

The five-storey project will provide 121 units of non-profit supportive rental housing for seniors aged 55 and over who want to live independently but still have access to meal, housekeeping and recreational services.

Most of the units will be one-bedroom, but 14 will also

have a den, and there will be 13 two-bedroom units.

Coun. Colleen Jordan said because the money is coming from the density bonus program that is funded by developers, the contribution isn’t costing Burnaby taxpayers a dime.

“The nice thing is, those funds aren’t a drain on the city’s resources,” said Jordan.

In a report to council about the project, Burnaby’s director of planning and building Lou Pelletier noted the lack of financial subsidies that are available from senior levels of government to help build affordable housing for seniors.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said

that was a shame, but he’s glad Burnaby is in a position to be able to help.

“There are just too few of these projects,” he said.

“We need a greater effort from our senior governments.”

The developer of the project, Etherstane Developments Ltd., of New Westminster, had originally proposed to build supportive market rental housing but revised that last November to a non-market complex.

It will be built east of the existing care centre, with access to its parking lot off 16th Avenue.

Additional residential development to the east and

north of the new building could happen in the future.

Before the project can proceed the site will have to be rezoned. A public hearing for that rezoning application is scheduled for Sept. 30.

Fire destroys home

A fire early Friday morning destroyed a home at Neville Street and Macpherson Avenue in South Burnaby.

When the Burnaby Fire Department arrived on the scene at about 12:30 a.m. they found fire up the back wall and into the roof of the two-storey house. Shortly after,

the back wall and roof collapsed.

A family of four that lived in the house, along with a tenant in a basement suite, escaped without injuries.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Two arrested after stabbing

Two young men are in hospital recovering from stab wounds, and another two are in custody after an altercation at the Bonsor skatepark late Tuesday night.

Maureen Gulyas of the Burnaby RCMP said police responded to reports of a disturbance at the skatepark at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.

When they arrived they found the two stabbing victims suffering from non life-threatening injuries. Two Vancouver men, aged 24 and 22 , were taken into custody at the scene.

Gulyas said police are still investigating the incident and charges are pending.

Distracted driving cited as injury claims riseJeff NagelBlack Press

ICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates.

The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

The rate hike is to take effect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application.

A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage.

ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suffering, future care and lost wages.

Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier.

Legal and medical costs are also up.

Drivers’ rapidly growing use of

cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims.

Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes that often cause injuries, spokesman Adam Grossman said.

A new campaign against distracted driving is to roll out in September.

Grossman was unable to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase from 2012 to

2013 was only four per cent.

The full rate hike application is to be filed Friday.

Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete.

He also took aim at the provincial government’s continued raiding of ICBC coffers for general revenue.

The province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013

and $576 million in 2010.

Cran said he doesn’t “give a damn” about ICBC and government claims the yearly dividends to the province come only from the optional side and don’t affect basic rates.

“We see it a as one corporation,” he said.

“As long as they’re stealing our money by the million by transferring it into government revenues, no matter which division they claim it from, we are being gouged as a public.”

Cran called it a stealth tax on people who drive vehicles that is “absolutely disgraceful.”

Up to 200,000 feet of commercial space along 16th Street and Southgate Crescent would service the neighbourhoods.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said the proposed development is already creating a buzz in the nearby Edmonds area.

“By the time it is finished, a great vision will have been presented,” he said.

Coun. Pietro Calendino called the plan “a city within a city. It’s getting quite exciting to see Burnaby’s coming of age as

a real city.”But Coun. Colleen Jordan

cautioned the project still has a long way to go before it’s

fully realized, and each phase will be subject to rezoning and a full public hearing.

“This is a significant piece of land in our city and a significant change in how that land is used,” said Jordan.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said it’s important the new development integrate with the existing neighbourhood.

“It has to make everyone around it feel like it was an addition to the neighbourhood,” said Corrigan.twitter.com/newsleaderfotog

Project still subject to hearings

TransLink insists it hasn’t abandoned name but offers no clarity

Jeff NagelBlack Press

TransLink is trying to assure passengers it hasn’t abandoned the Evergreen Line name for its latest SkyTrain extension now under construction in the northeast sector.

But officials at the transportation authority are being cagey about how and where it will apply, saying they are still investigating all naming options.

“We’ll keep the Evergreen brand in some way,” TransLink

wayfinding project planner Jeff Deby said Monday. “Exactly how it’s going to be used is still yet to be determined.”

He was responding to community rumours in the Tri Cities that the name might be dropped but said little to dispel them.

“We’re just following due process to come to the best solution,” Deby said, adding he doesn’t want to confuse people more by speculating ahead of a decision.

One unresolved issue is whether westbound trains originating from Coquitlam that terminate at VCC-Clark should be called Evergreen Line trains once they’re west of Lougheed Station in Burnaby, on what’s now called the Millennium Line.

“We’re looking at that exactly right now

and we haven’t made a decision yet,” Deby said. “We’re trying to figure out how to integrate it into the existing network.”

But nor would he promise that the Evergreen name will definitely apply on the new section of line from Lougheed through Port Moody to Coquitlam.

“I don’t think there’s any ‘definitely’ anything yet,” he said.

“We’ll be consulting with municipal stakeholders and make sure that we’re working into consideration community needs.”

There’s no timeline for settling the naming issues but he said there

will be plenty of public notice ahead of the new line’s opening in 2016.

“The Evergreen brand already has community resonance and we want people to respect that and take advantage of it,” Deby said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he was “surprised” to learn in recent months that TransLink wanted to call the extension the Millennium Line as well.

He noted TransLink’s 2013 annual report contains a photo of SkyTrain route charts that show the Millennium Line colour and name

extending all the way east to the Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station terminus in Coquitlam.

While one name from Coquitlam all the way west to UBC eventually might well be simpler for TransLink, Stewart said it would upend years of planning in the Tri Cities.

“To the public, the Millennium Line is in Burnaby and Vancouver. The one in Coquitlam, that’s the Evergreen Line. It doesn’t make sense to try to overcome all those years of branding.”

Businesses and organizations in the Tri Cities have also embraced the name.

“We’ve made investment decisions and we’ve named facilities and projects associated with the Evergreen Line name,” Stewart said.

Deby wouldn’t discuss naming implications if the Millennium Line is ultimately extended west along the Broadway corridor in Vancouver.

A key goal is making sure the SkyTrain network is easy to understand, he said, adding the looping route of the Millennium Line is still confusing to some people.

“Adding another service into the system is now making it a little bit more complex.

What we’re looking at is: Is there a way we can look at the line naming now and make it clearer for people?”

TransLink has not yet indicated whether Millennium Line passengers going to or from southeast Burnaby will have to transfer at either Lougheed or Columbia once the new line is in operation.

Cool back to college cars for under $15,000While some lucky students may have received new cars as high school graduation gifts, the odds are most will have scrimped and saved from part-time to buy that first set of wheels.Whatever the financial circumstances, young buyers will surely share the desire for a car that is economical to operate. Here are five picks available in Canada for under $15,000 – all prices quoted exclude taxes and delivery charges.

B Nissan Micra: $9,998The Micra is back after a 21-year absence and it’s a more than welcome return. It has a European style, boast-ing 60/40 split rear seats and back seat heating ducts as standard fare.A 1.6-litre DOHC 4-cylinder engine matched to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automat-ic transmission powers it and the estimated fuel economy is 8.6/6.6 L/100km (city/highway).

C Chevy Spark: $11,945The Chevy Spark is cute as a bug. Its list of standard safety features, which includes 10 air bags, helped make it an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 2014.

Extra dollars bring techy additions that transform it into a Wi-Fi hotspot and enable the downloading of useful in-car apps to aid navigation. An Ecotec 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed tranny, pro-vides the Spark! Sips gas at 6.4/5.7 L/100kms (city/hwy).

D Toyota Yaris Hatchback: $14,255At the time of writing, only the 2014 version is available but the new look 2015 is on its way, so look for deals on the outgoing car. The proven 1.5-litre engine and five-speed manual transmission remain – currently offering a fuel economy of 6.7/5.5 L/100kms (city/hwy) – and pricing will likely be similar with added features. Power windows and a 6.1” display audio multimedia system with USB audio input and Bluetooth

capability will be standard.

E Ford Fiesta: $14,394Shop around because I’ve seen discounted base models recently for the sedan and hatchback ver-sions recently.Ford is about connectivity and few extra dollars will add desirable tech features to the info/audio

system, which already includes a USB port. The base engine is a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine or the new three-cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine is an op-tion. Both are gas-miserly: 7/5 L/100kms (city/hwy) for the 1.6, 6.2/4.3 for the three-banger.

F Honda Fit: $14,635The very reliable Fit has been redesigned for 2015 and now include Bluetooth connectivity and a rear-view camera as standard equipment. It also gets a boost in power with a new 1.5-litre engine, matched to a 5-speed manual shift that pumps fuel at the rate of 7.1/6.5 L/100km (city/hwy).

By Bob McHughDriveway

Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, un-til a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particu-lar order:

Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Ma-trix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model that

came in front-drive and all-wheel-drive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second genera-tion redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower)

1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or op-tional five-speed automatic. Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both front-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an ac-tive lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors.

Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continu-ously variable transmission) automatic. Nissan Versa (2011 or old-er): The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing

amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door

hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door se-dan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horse-power) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds.It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group.

L BOURDAY

A Labour Day tradition in Atlantic Canada is the Wharf Rat Rally in Digby, Nova Scotia, while many watch the Labour Day Classic, a Canadian Football League event where rivals like Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos, and Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers play on Labour Day weekend.

Starting this year, with the new Ottawa Redblacks, the Montreal–Ottawa Labour Day rivalry will be revived.

In Newfoundland, the Labour Day parade in Grand Falls-Windsor started in 1921 and still continues today, over 90 years later. The celebrations go on for three days with a parade on Labour Day Monday.

An old fashioned tradition

in Canada and the U.S. frowns upon the wearing of white after Labour Day. Explanations for this tradition vary; the most common is that white is a summer colour and Labour Day unofficially marks the end of summer. The rule may have been intended as a status symbol for new members of the upper and middle classes in the late 19th and early 20th century.

L BOURDAY

Labour Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. In Canada and the United States, it is celebrated on the first Monday of September and considered the official end of the summer holiday.

Labour Day (French: Fête du Travail) has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in Canada since the 1880s.

According to Wikipedia, the origins of Labour Day in Canada go back to December 1872 when a parade was staged in support of the Toronto Typographical Union’s strike for a 58-hour work-week. The Toronto Trades Assembly (TTA) called its 27 unions to demonstrate in support of the Typographical Union who had been on strike since March 25.

George Brown, Canadian politician and editor of the Toronto Globe hit back at his striking employees, pressing police to charge the Typographical Union with “conspiracy.”

Although the laws criminalising union activity were outdated and had already been abolished in Great Britain, they were still on the books in Canada and police arrested 24 leaders of the Typographical Union. Labour leaders decided to call another similar demonstration on September 3 to protest the arrests. Seven unions marched in Ottawa, prompting a promise by Canadian Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald to repeal the “barbarous” anti-union laws. Parliament passed the Trade Union Act on June 14 the following year, and soon all unions were seeking a 54-hour work-week.

The Toronto Trades and Labour Council (successor to the TTA) held similar

celebrations every spring. American Peter J. McGuire, co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, was asked to speak at a labour festival in Toronto, Canada on July 22, 1882.

Returning to the United States, McGuire and the Knights of Labor organised a similar parade based on the Canadian event on September 5, 1882 in New York City, USA.

On July 23, 1894, Canadian Prime Minister John Thompson and his government made Labour Day, to be held in September, an official holiday.

In the United States, the New York parade became an annual event that year, and in 1894 was adopted by American president Grover Cleveland to compete with International Workers’ Day (May Day).

While Labour Day parades and picnics are organised by unions, many Canadians regard Labour Day as the Monday of the last long weekend of summer.

L BOURDAY

When people raise their voices to effect positive change, incredible things can happen.

It can be the smallest action, like voting, that can create change, something British Columbians will be doing in the upcoming municipal elections.

Unions are an important force for democracy, not just in the workplace, but beyond.

Unions advocate for better social, economic and environmental policies.

An international study released in 2008 of labour and work found among other things, that the countries in which union density rates are higher are also the ones in which the welfare state is more developed.

Here in Canada, we have a strong social safety net in place to catch us when we need help.

That’s due in part to the strength of the labour movement and unions.

It’s also due in part to non-profits like United Way that fund so many of the agencies that do front-line work to help

us in our times of need.Here in the Lower Mainland,

United Way and Labour have worked together to change lives for the better for more than 30 years.

With the incredible support from individual donors, many members of local unions, United Way moves families from poverty to possibility, helps kids be all that they can be, and builds stronger communities for seniors.

United Way of the Lower Mainland touches the lives of 400,000 people a year investing in more than 150 local agencies providing 450 programs and services in 26 communities across Metro Vancouver and the Sea to Sky corridor.

The power of the nearly

500,000-strong Labour membership in B.C. is key to making a difference—that and the dedication and leadership of passionate individuals like Gwenne Farrell, who not only lends her voice but also indefatigable action.

An economist and financial analyst, Farrell is a long-time union activist who is Vice President of COPE Local 378 and sits on the United Way of the Lower Mainland’s Board of Directors.

“When we work together, I strongly believe that we can make a big impact on our communities and the people who live in them,” says Farrell.

“As Canadians celebrate Labour Day this weekend, it’s a good time to reflect on how much we have accomplished as a united group with a common goal, and commit to continuing to help each other.”

Working together we are possibility. Change starts with you.

—Courtesy of United Way

Building a better future is the heart of Labour

Gwenne Farrell When we work together, I strongly believe that we can make a big impact on our communities and the people who live in them.

T his spring, I had the honour of being elected to lead

B.C.’s most diverse union.The over 67,000

women and men of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) work in all areas of the province, in a wide variety of roles, making a real difference in their communities.

From childcare to child protection; preventative health care to palliative care; social work to corrections; and so much more—what our members share is a dedication to working together for the benefit of all British Columbians.

As the union that represents these remarkable workers, we owe it to them to not only protect the vital public services they provide, but to continuously work for positive social change.

BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can make progressive new policies that B.C. needs, such as $10 a day childcare, a reality.

That’s why this Labour Day—my first as BCGEU president—as we celebrate the hard-fought gains the union movement has made for B.C. and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do. 

Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality—including a gender wage gap of 26 per cent that is frankly embarrassing.

Our young people have the distinction of being the first generation that will be worse off economically than the one that came before.

But the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that. Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions to achieve collective bargaining rights at their workplace. 

The wage increases they gain by working

together go right back into their local economies invigorating communities across the province.

The increased tax revenues provide funding for the public services that we all rely on.

Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all worked together to ensure that everyone, in all regions of the provinces—regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic status—had access to a job where they were paid a living wage and treated with respect.

This is what the labour movement has to offer British Columbians: strong, united and dynamic communities full of people who care for one another.

When we all band together to demand that vital services be publicly available to everyone—not just those who can afford them—we’ll have a whole new set of victories to celebrate each year at the end of August.

Stephanie Smith was elected president of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) by delegates at the union’s tri-annual convention in May 2014. Stemming from the Community Social Services sector, Stephanie had a long history of leadership and activism within the BCGEU before serving three years as the union’s Treasurer (2011-14). She is the first woman elected president of the BCGEU.

The Internet becoming more important for home buyers

By Kerry Vital

Waterfront living is possible in North Delta at Polygon’s Lakeside, an enclave of executive-style townhomes in the master-planned community of Sunstone.

“Th ese townhomes feel like single-family homes,” says sales manager Pat Lok. “At 25 to 35 feet wide, they’re wider than a typical Vancouver lot!”

With a variety of three-bedroom two-

level plans, most 2,000 square feet or larger, Lakeside is appealing to families and empty-nesters alike. Th is is the fi nal collection of the master-on-main homes being built at Sunstone, making it even more appealing.

“Th ese are beautiful homes, and there are less than 20 remaining,” Lok says, “with a limited number of each plan type left , it’s a great time to visit us.”

Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. Th e homes are built using classic Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy plenty of time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. In addition, each home has a private fenced yard. Every home has a double-

car side-by-side garage, which Lok points out has been a selling feature at Lakeside.

Inside, some plan types feature dramatic vaulted ceilings along with warm laminate wood fl ooring throughout the main level living areas. Radiant in-fl oor heating is

featured throughout the main level, adding to the warm and cozy feeling of the entire home.

Th e kitchen is elegant and effi cient, with custom-designed naturally stained quarter oak fl at-panel or white painted shaker cabinetry, engineered stone countertops and a marble backsplash. A kitchen island adds to the convenience, and select homes include a spacious walk-in pantry. Stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, contemporary halogen track lighting and task lighting round out the beautiful space.

Th e luxurious master ensuite features an oversized soaker tub and a separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents, complemented by marble countertops and a large vanity mirror. Th e main bathroom holds a bathtub with ceramic tile surround and marble countertops.

“People love the little luxuries here,” says Lok.

Homeowners at Sunstone have access to the private Sunstone Club, a 12,000-square-foot amenities building that includes an outdoor pool, gym, fi reside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, amphitheatre and several trails for walking or cycling.

When you venture off the property, you’ll fi nd schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby, including the Sungod Recreation Centre, Watershed Park and the Delta Nature Reserve.

Homes at Lakeside start at $558,000. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or stop by the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Crescent, open noon to 6 p.m. daily except Friday.

Submitted photosPolygon is bringing Seaside architecture to North Delta with Lakeside, its executive townhome project in the master-planned community of Sunstone. Homeowners also benefi t from membership to the Sunstone Club, below right, with over 12,000 square feet of amenities including an outdoor pool.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

For many new home buyers in the Lower Mainland, utilizing the Internet has never been more important. It’s now possible to conduct hours of research and ensure you know exactly what you’re looking for and can aff ord before purchasing, as well as which features of your new home will fi t your lifestyle and allow the home to keep its value down the road.

“Th e extensive online research conducted by homebuyers is highly evident,” says Intergulf Development Group Vice President Shaadi Faris. “Buyers are coming to us with knowledge of how the purchase process works, and having their priorities fi rmly established.”

Faris has seen this play out at Intergulf ’s Burnaby condominium project Th e Park Metrotown, where potential buyers have been coming into the presentation centre and

asking questions that used to only be asked by investors and real estate professionals.

“Th ey are aware of market trends, know what specifi c features and dimensions they are looking for, and have fi rm fi gures in mind,” says Faris. “Our marketing eff orts now speak to strata fees and unit prices in dollars per square foot, and point out all the features that will impact the buyer’s investment, including the location of the parking stalls and storage lockers.”

While the younger buyer is leading the way regarding the use of digital media, Faris points out that there are buyers of all ages using technology to research their potential home.

Google recently teamed up with the U.S.-based National Association of Realtors to conduct a study looking at how important digital media was to home buyers. Th e study found that 90 per cent of homebuyers search online before and during the buying process.

Before buying compare space & water heating costsWhen you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.

Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator.

*These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.
