Kristi AlexandraNow contributorTwitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — More than 200 peoplegathered at Newton Seniors Centre for amuch-publicized anti-crime rally Sundayafternoon (Sept. 28).

People at the event – both inside andoutside the facility – held signs reading “KeepPredators Behind Bars” and “An Eye ForAn Eye,” as well as “Stop the revolving doorof justice.”Among the crowd were Surreymayoralty candidates, media players, self-proclaimed “angry” civilians and the familyof Maple Batalia, a Surrey teen murdered in2011.

The “Rally4Change,” a non-partisangrassroots initiative with no politicalinfluence, took place less than two weeks afterthe body of Surrey teen Serena Vermeerschwas found in Newton, on Sept. 16. The17-year-old girl’s death was the 12th of 13homicides in Surrey this year.

The Newton area was also hit with tragedyin December of 2013, when Julie Paskallwas killed as she was picking up her sonfrom hockey practice. Both Paskall’s andVermeersch’s deaths are allegedly linked todangerous offenders with criminal historieswho moved to Surrey.

“We need to do more than just complainto our politicians,” said rally emcee BobCampbell, who spoke about solving thecity’s crime issue. He noted that the rally wasdedicated in Serena Vermeersch’s memory,and said that the community was “stunned”by her death.

Campbell also used the podium to talkabout a lack of enforcement of bylaws inSurrey, and that the city has “a broad range ofissues that are our ‘broken windows.’”

Among the speakers was RCMP Sgt. MarcSearle, who said,“If you don’t call us, we don’tknow. You need to call us all the time.”

Community member Naida Robinson,an organizer of the event, also spoke to thecrowd, saying that,“dead people in vehicleson (the) streets” is becoming a reality for

residents of Surrey.“Until I hear that my and our world view

and our perception is valid and what we as acommunity can do about it, nothing is goingto change. It’s going to continue to be ourreality,” she said.

Last to speak at the event was DarleneBowyer, an organizer of the event and co-ordinator of Surrey Association of SustainableCommunities, who gave an impassionedspeech to “take back Surrey” and urged B.C.’sMinister of Justice to “stop the revolving doorof justice.… Crime is rampant in Surrey,”she said, noting that in her neighbourhoodof Port Kells, four prolific offenders rented

a house together and had 1,100 negativeinteractions with police, including stealingfrom neighbours and burning down a home.“We were a community under siege. We wereafraid… If you don’t feel safe in your ownneighbourhoods, nothing else matters.”

To much applause, Bowyer added,“Offenders with the label ‘risk to reoffend’should never, ever be released into anothercommunity.”

Community members at the event sharedmixed feelings about the rally.

“I think rallies sometimes capitalize toomuch on people’s negative emotions,” saidDavid Dalley, a prominent community

member and leader of the Friends of theGrove group in Newton.“That can rile upshort-term change, and feelings of anger andvengeance, and motivate people strongly inthe short-term, but I think we have to play thelong game.”

Clayton Heights resident Gary Hees, whowas holding a community “Block Watch”sign in the seniors’ centre, said he came tothe event because “there’s just too many badthings going on in Surrey.”

“I would say that people were dumpingtheir stolen cars over there in ClaytonHeights, so people were complaining aboutauto break-ins and stuff like that, so there wassome need to take action,” he told the Now.Hees now runs an organized Block Watch inhis own community and encouraged othersto do the same.

“There’s certain hours of the day that we’revulnerable, say between 2 a.m. to 5 p.m.People have really got to watch their ownproperty in those vulnerable hours,” he said.

Nicole Joliet, a trustee candidate for theSurrey school board, also shared somethoughts on the rally.

“As a woman, I get catcalled on the streetwhen I’m walking to and from my house,” shesaid.“I asked if we could try and address thatsomehow. I’m really sad because one of thebig key factors in both of the murders, therewere prior convictions for rape and they’reboth examples of violence against women.”

A recent report obtained by the Nowsuggested Surrey RCMP are solvingfewer violent crimes while crime rates areincreasing in the city.

[email protected]

For the recordThe Now incorrectly reported in the print

edition Sept. 25 that Raymond Lee Caissiewas released on parole when his prisonterm expired. Rather, he had been releasedon 12 court-ordered conditions, under thesupervision of the Ministry of Justice.

SURREY — Surrey Food Bank received ahelping hand from Envision Financial lastweek.

During the five-day campaign, bankemployees got down and dirty by counting,sorting and handing out food hampers.

“This has been a fantastic. I just thinkthere are too many people without foodand they need all the help they can get,” saidvolunteer Anita Krauser, who was in chargeof organizing non-perishables in the back.

Meanwhile, Tim Mackie could be spottedoutside talking with clients and handing outtomatoes.

“It’s so good to be part of a company thatallows us to give back to the communitieswe live in. To see the need, it’s quitepowerful,” he said.

Mackie added he was touched to seehow appreciative people were. “Sometimesthey’re declining the food stations becausethey don’t want to waste it. It’s been reallyenlightening.”

According to Feezah Jaffer, the foodbank’s director of external relations, the

facility serves around 300 families a day,Monday to Friday, between the hours of9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. And with only 12 staffmembers on board, the organization heavilyrelies on its 450 volunteers.

“We wouldn’t be able to do what we dowithout them. There’s actually a wait list tovolunteer,” said Jaffer. “It’s a good problemto have.”

She admitted she’s always humbled byEnvision’s passion and enthusiasm forshowing up.

“Everyone’s so eager and even those whohave never been, they always ask questionsand share their stories,” she said.

In some cases, Jaffer has been told thatvolunteering for those four hours has beenlife-changing.

“You get people in here who think theyknow what ‘type’ of person uses the foodbank. But by the end of it, they have a wholenew outlook.”

In terms of donations, she said the Surreylocation is doing OK despite a slow summer.“We’re always looking for protein, likecanned fish and meat, peanut butter, pastaand rice.”

To volunteer or for more information,visit Surreyfoodbank.org.

SURREY — The lobby and councilchambers at Surrey’s new city hall wasabuzz with activity midday Thursday(Sept. 25) as the city and communityplayers kicked off the province-wideCulture Days, held last weekend.

Stilt walkers, poets, artists,musicians and more walked about theopening ceremonies, which includedcollaborative painting demonstrations

by the South Surrey White Rock Artists’Society, dance performances, historicre-enactments, live music and more.

“This is a huge undertaking that wasmade bigger than what we’ve done inthe past by the incredible support thatthe City of Surrey threw behind CultureDays this year,” said Rob Gloor, chair ofthe B.C. task force for Culture Days.

Culture Days, an opportunity forcities to showcase community artsin the form of a festival, is part of acountry-wide initiative. In particular,B.C. saw 540 culture-related events

happen across the province fromSept. 26 to 28, including workshops,discussions, collaborative art projectsand tours.

“It’s just a great way to remindeveryone of how many diverseactivities are going to be happeningover the weekend and across theprovince,” Gloor said of the openingceremonies. “We’re happy to celebrateit in Surrey, but it’s also about kickingoff the entire province-wide festival.”

Entertainers at the event includedSurrey’s own Lisa Brokop, countrysinger, who serenaded the crowd, aswell as Spirit of the West frontmanJohn Mann, who performedalongside Allan Rodger.

Heritage re-enactors wowed thecrowd with on-point impersonationsof momentous Surrey figures, likeReeve Sullivan, who served the cityfrom 1910 to 1921.

At the same time, the closingceremony for Surrey’s Pianos on the

Streets initiative took place at CityHall, with sisters Natalia and AkylinaPardalis performing jazz standards.

“Surrey Arts Centre has some greatactivities planned, the Surrey ArtGallery and the libraries also havesome storytelling activities,” saidNazanin Shoja, co-ordinator for BCCulture Days.

“There’s a few dozen events inSurrey alone, it’s really pretty cool,they go across performing arts andvisual arts and arts workshops. It’s ahuge breadth of activity.”

The criteria, Shoja and Gloor said,

to hold a Culture Days event are thatthe activity must be free, registeredon the Culture Days website and givesa “different perspective of the view ofcultural activities compared to whatmight be offered throughout theyear.”

“There’s quite a variety and themain idea is to get the public engagedand hands-on with the activities thatare happening,” Gloor said. “It’s likea province-wide open house for thearts.”

Your view

A document that has the title,“A Step Backwards:Report Card on Government’s Access to InformationResponses” doesn’t exactly inspire trust in the B.C.government’s commitment to transparency. In fact,it should, and does, trigger a lot of serious questions.

Information and Privacy Commissioner ElizabethDenham’s report on how the B.C. government is(or more accurately, is not) fulfilling thousands ofinformation requests every year paints a startlingpicture of delay tactics, obstruction and a seriouslack of adherence to the basic principles of freedomof information.

The report says that on-time access to informationrequests in the past two years have dropped from93 per cent to 74 per cent. The four governmentministries with the lowest on-time rates were Justice(72 per cent), Energy and Mines (66 per cent),Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training (65 per cent) andMinistry of Children and Family Development (52per cent). The differences in departmental numbersis informative, but what it tells us on a larger scaleis that almost every department is trying to keepinformation hidden.

The media has always faced stonewallingbureaucrats and politicians who hide behindprocedures and paperwork. It is government’sfirst line of defense when the media looks forinformation that could make the government lookbad.

But nowadays, as the privacy commissioner said,“I’m concerned that it’s a trend and the issues aresystemic. It’s the law and one-in-four requests areresponded to outside of the legal limits, and I thinkthat’s a serious problem for the public.”

We agree. But is a wrist-slapping report going tostop the stonewalling? We think not. If the provincialgovernment cared about its previous commitmentsto transparency, it would have laid down the lawinternally. It hasn’t.

We think it’s time to inflict the same deterrents ongovernment ministries that they inflict on citizens: Ifthey miss deadlines, fine them. And put the moneytowards school supplies.

DEBATE

Anumber of key First Nations leaders haveadroitly realized the best way to kill the SiteC dam project may be to hitch their potential

support for building LNG pipelines to the dam neverbeing built.

Getting First Nations’ support for any major economicdevelopment that involves land use or the extraction ofnatural resources has been the reality in recent years,and will only become more critical in the years ahead.

The strong opposition of First Nations is a majorreason why Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline willlikely never be built. Premier Christy Clark’s governmentfaces a number of challenges in getting an LNG industryup and running in this province, not the least of whichis ensuring First Nations don’t decide to block anypipelines or projects.

So when three key B.C. First Nations leaders travelledto Ottawa last week to send a message to the federalgovernment that they strongly oppose the Site C dam –but might be open to supporting other forms of energy,including LNG pipelines – it’s important that everyonesit up and take notice.

Chief Roland Wilson of the West Moberly FirstNation, which would be most directly affected by themassive flooding that would occur if Site C dam is built,made it clear he won’t support any LNG pipelines if SiteC proceeds.

His band is one of the few to have signed a treatywith the provincial government, having done so backin 1899. As such, it’s not entirely clear how the recentSupreme Court of Canada landmark decision conferringaboriginal title will affect treaty bands’ opposition to SiteC.

Nevertheless, Wilson’s support for LNG pipelines islikely needed, and so is that of other First Nations. Thisis not going to be an easy thing to secure, as not all FirstNations share the same views on resource development.

Public opposition to LNG does not appear to beanywhere near the level attached to oil pipelines likeNorthern Gateway or Kinder Morgan’s proposedtwinned pipeline project. A “spill” from an LNG pipelinesimply dissipates into the atmosphere, instead of fouling

creek beds or coastlines.The main concerns over natural gas extraction is

the practice of fracking, which involves injecting hugeamounts of water laced with chemicals deep into theground in order to loosen gas deposits. But so far, atleast, there is not much evidence of a groundswell ofopposition to this practice.

But the opposition, from both the general publicand First Nations, to the Site C dam project will likelyincrease substantially in the years ahead. Chief Wilsonargues that his territory is already abuzz with all kinds ofindustrial activity – fracking, gas wells, windfarms – andto add both LNG pipelines and a massive hydroelectricdam is simply too much, and that’s an argument thatwill likely gain more traction with the public.

So don’t be entirely surprised if the B.C. governmentloses enthusiasm for building Site C if it realizes doingso may jeopardize a more prized part of its economicand energy strategy, which is getting an LNG industryfirmly established in this province.

MINISTRY’S TONE-DEAFNESS EVIDENTI see the Ministry of Children and Family

Development is once again displaying its trademarktone-deafness, as it has apparently decided to deductpost-secondary bursaries from any financial aid fosteryouth receive from the province.

Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the B.C. Representativefor Children and Youth, blew the whistle on the schemelast week, calling it “petty” and “embarrassing.” She hadled a successful campaign to provide free tuition forfoster youth, who statistically face tougher challengeswhen it comes to education, employment and avoidingpoverty.

A number of B.C. financial institutions stepped upto the plate, and provided free tuition or bursaries. Butnow the ministry is “clawing” them back from thesevulnerable youth. Turpel-Lafond disclosed one case thatsaw a foster youth have a $1,300 bursary deducted fromher support payments, and she says she has heard froma number of other foster youth over the summer whoreported similar stories.

Turpel-Lafond has demanded the problem be “fixed”immediately. Given her track record of winning thesekinds of battles, I can only assume it will be. But as ofthis column’s writing, it had not. Get on it, MCFD.

Rail relocation is all aboutproperty values, NIMBY-ismThe Editor,

Re: “Rail relocation would ‘unlock national treasure,’” theNow letters, Sept. 25.

Letter writer Erik Seiz states that moving the rail locationwould be five kilometres shorter (three miles) and wouldgive a return on investment. Spending $500 million plus tomove a railway that would be five kilometers shorter doesnot sound like much of an investment to me!

Mr. Seiz states his concerns for the unstable bluffs. I askwhere were his concerns for the unstable bluffs when themillion-dollar prize homes were being built on it.

He goes on to state his concerns for two bird sanctuaries,bisecting two level crossings, access to public beaches, a boatlaunch and a de-facto hiking path, but he would feel OKwith moving the railway near fish-bearing streams, rivers,agricultural land and possibly bisecting other roadways sothat they may unlock a 12-mile national treasure.

Well, Mr. Seiz, the national treasure has been there forover a hundred years and included the railway. The railwayis part of the history and atmosphere of White Rock andCrescent Beach. The railway did not move to where thepeople were, the people moved to where the railway is. Didthese people not see the railway crossings when they droveinto these areas to purchase their homes and do their duediligence?

Spending $500 million so beach-goers, hikers, touristsand rich boat owners don’t have to wait a few minutes for atrain to pass to get to their boat launch/beach does not addup.

If Mr. Seiz’s true concerns are about emergency response,then a cheaper overpass/underpass would do, but if Mr.Seiz and the rest of the Crescent Beach/White Rock homeowners still feel the railway should be moved, then maybethey should all be special-assessed the costs.

In my opinion, it is all about property values and NIMBY-ism.

J. Edwards, Cloverdale

Highway interchange meansmore traffic on our rural roadThe Editor,

So the new on/off ramp at Highway 99 and 16th Avenueis finally open. Terrific! Now even more traffic, especiallytrucks, can crawl along that quiet, rural, one-lane road weknow as 16th Avenue.

Yes, it would cost a lot of money to widen 16th Avenue,but then we just had to have a new $97-million city hall. Oh,happy days!

SURREY – The tallest tower south of theFraser River will feature 144 luxury suites, asMarriott International announced they willbring their Autograph Collection to Surrey’s 3Civic Plaza project.

When completed, the hotel will be 21storeys with a convention space, fitness centre,lobby-based cafe, fine dining restaurant, androoftop patio for special events.

Tsawwassen-based developer CenturyGroup held an unveiling of the suites onThursday (Sept. 25) near the ground-breakingconstruction site, which is scheduled to openby Christmas of 2016.

Century Group president Sean Hodginssaid it’s rare that a developer has this kind ofopportunity to affect significant change in anestablished city like Surrey.

“Oftentimes we come in and the patternhas been set,” he said.“The building blocks arealready there and the mosaic, if you will, ofthe city has already been established. And wecome in and we just fill in the grout betweenthe tiles.”

Hodgins said the $150-million project isan opportunity to engage in a city-buildingenterprise, using a mix of private and publicinvestment to change the centre of Surrey.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University ownsthree floors of the 52-floor tower, and willcreate a professional development andbusiness campus there.

Hodgins said with the hotel, KPU campus,and proximity to Surrey’s downtownamenities, 3 Civic Plaza will become a “socialhub” of the community.

When researching and investigating hotelbrands, Century Group decided the MarriottAutograph Collection was the only one that

fit. Hodgins said he met with representativesof Marriott and told them about theunprecedented growth of Surrey and businessopportunities here.

“And they’d kind of heard that before.So, we said, OK, come out here, take a look,understand what’s happening, meet with thecity’s representatives, because this is a reallyimportant thing.”

Hodgins said it only took one visit toconvince them of the value of the investment.

Anita Huberman, CEO of Surrey Board ofTrade, said the location of 3 Civic Plaza, closeto SkyTrain and transportation corridors, willbe important to its success.

“In today’s global landscape, locationis vitally important and becomes a keencompetitive advantage,” she said.

Huberman also spoke about Surrey’sincreasingly metropolitan and multiculturalstatus as a key reason for continuedinvestment in the city with respect to culture,

business, the arts and education.“This is where the human capital is, and

this is what we’re saying to new and incomingbusinesses into our city,” she said.

The Surrey Marriott will be just one of 50Autograph Collection luxury hotels of fourand five-star ratings worldwide. Suites willrange in size from 345 to 375 square feet withstandard king, queen, and superior king sizedbeds. A night’s stay is expect to run visitorsbetween $140 and $150.

SURREY — Local MPs from bothsides of the House are calling on theConservative government to betterprotect society from dangerousoffenders following the death ofSurrey teen Serena Vermeersch.

Her alleged killer, Raymond LeeCaissie, 43, is a violent high-risk sexoffender who was released into thecommunity in the summer of 2013,under supervision, with 12 court-

ordered conditions. He is expectedto appear in Surrey provincial courton Thursday, Oct. 2.

Justice Minister Peter MacKaysaid in the House of Commons lastweek the government is committedto ensuring the “worst of the worst”face serious consequences “soCanadians can continue to feel safein their communities.”

Nina Grewal, Conservative MP

for Fleetwood-Port Kells, said casessuch as the Vermeersch murder“make it clear that we must continueto make the protection of ourcommunity a top priority, especiallywhen it comes to protectingchildren.”

She said it’s “outrageous thatconvicted rapists whom authoritiesbelieve likely to reoffend canbe permitted to move into our

community and prey upon innocentyoung women.”

Local NDP MPs Jasbir Sandhu,representing Surrey North,and Jinny Sims, representingNewton-North Delta, released ajoint statement that “all levels ofgovernment have a responsibility toensure that every Canadian feels safein his or her community.”

SURREY — Surrey mayoral candidate johnEdwards has revealed his election platform.

“I want to be part of the debate,” saidEdwards, who has lived in Surrey since 1994.

“All great cities have a convention centre,”he said.“I don’t believe we can go much longerwithout having a convention centre. If we

don’t build it, and wehave to build it downthe road we’re going tohave to pay much moremoney for it, for onething, and we might bemissing good businessopportunities.”

NEWTON — Surrey has celebratedHalloween, Christmas, Diwali – heck, the Cityof Parks even holds an annual Fusion Festivalto show off how multicultural its populationis. For all its years promoting and celebratingthe mosaic of cultures that reside in thecity, nowhere has seen a Day of the Deadcelebration common in Mexican culture.

Ana David, who works with Latinos inAction, lives in Surrey and wanted to see theLatin culture’s Dia de Muertos recognized atNewton’s Grove. The holiday, characterizedby sugar skulls, marigold flowers and altarsmemorializing the deceased, takes place onNov. 1 and is meant to commemorate familymembers and friends who have passed.

The group, with input from thecommunity, decided to call off the eventbecause of sensitivities around the area– namely, the murder of Julie Paskall inDecember of last year.

“It’s a celebration, it’s not something that’sgrim and scary or anything like that,” Davidsaid in an interview preceding the group’sdecision to call off the event.

David also noted that Latinos in Action hasbeen able to put on Vancouver’s annual LatinFestival for the past 14 years but that support,as of yet, hasn’t branched out to Surrey.

“We all concluded that it was just too soonaround the murder,” David told the Now.“It was something that had the word ‘dead’in it, so that was really touchy for the staffespecially.”

Instead, the festivity will be relocating toJoe’s Café on Vancouver’s Commercial Drivethis year.

“We’re going to respect everyone’s feelingsaround that and say ‘maybe next year,’” Davidconfirmed.“It’s just not the right space.”

Instead of holding a Day of the Deadcelebration at the Grove, however, Davidis supporting local yoga instructor TriciaKeith in hosting a discussion about death atNewton’s Espresso Café.

“It is a welcome coffee house; no rules, noguidelines, to talk about dying,” David said.“It’s really non-compromising, there’s no tiesto any particular culture.”

The Death Café is to take place on Nov. 2,which is the Day of the Dead for deceasedkids, from 3 to 5 p.m. To register to attend,contact Tricia Keith at [email protected].

“Just imagine that: say you’ve had amiscarriage or you’ve lost a child, there’s noplace to grieve that. It just gets put away. Butif you have a day, one day of the year, wherethe community comes out to say, ‘Yes, this isthe day for our dead children,’ I know howhealing that is,” Keith said.

SURREY — Last season, the SurDelBasketball Officials Association was stretchedto provide referees for close to 2,400 highschool games in all of Delta, White Rock,Surrey and a few schools in Langley.

According to Al Haynes, the SurDel BOA’seducator and assigner, this season could besimilar, due to the lack of refs.

Last year, Haynes managed to get all of thegames covered with 68 officials. Only arounda dozen of the games had one official. He saidit is preferable to have two refs officiating onegame.

“Every year we lose two or three refs, sowe need to replace them. We don’t reallyhave enough for 2,400 games (with) 60-oddofficials. A lot of them work ... and they’renot available in the daytime,” Haynes said.

It’s his job to schedule and assign thereferees games and make sure the games starton time.

Due to the shortage last year, Haynessaid one official worked 116 games last yearbecause he was available during the daytime.He also noted a day where a ref worked fivegames in a single day – something he hopesnot to do again this season.

“He’s a good ref, but I don’t care how goodyou are, you can’t ref five games in a day,” saidHaynes.“It’s impossible. Mentally, you can’tdo it.”

In order for Haynes to comfortably pulloff the season without scheduling problems,he would need around 80 officials.

He said the month of January is when thescheduling becomes tough because of allof the tournaments, including the RCMPtournament for the boys, the firefighters’

tournament for the girls and the Catholicprovincial tournament hosted by HolyCross.

The addition of a junior tournament,as well as senior games, makes it tougherbecause of the limited number of referees,Haynes added.

As well as assigning their games, Hayneshas to make sure all the incoming refs areproperly trained and educated.

The former high school teacher said he’shoping to get close to 20 people to the firstclassroom session on Oct. 6, so SurDel BOAwill have enough officials to get through theseason.

“For young people, it’s a good, healthyway to make some money. You give back tothe school system that educated you,” saidHaynes.

He also went on to say that the pay ispretty good and that it “beats tossing burgersat McDonald’s.”

The training consists of five 90-minuteclassroom sessions with a two-hour gymsession to go through the mechanics ofrefereeing.

The training ends when trainees officiate ajunior girl’s tournament at Lord Tweedsmuir,with veteran refs shadowing them and givingthem pointers as the game goes on.

New report highlights potential pitfallscouples face when transferring assetsto the next generationRBCWealth Management offers tips to make estate planning process a smooth one

TORONTO, June 10, 2014 - An estimated $1 trillion, or more, is positioned to changehands in Canada over the coming years as baby boomers age and assets begin to transferto younger generations. The country’s high-net-worth population alone held close to $900billion in investable assets in 2013, according to RBCWealth Management, and withimproving economic conditions that figure is likely to grow. This impending transfer ofwealth is putting the onus on baby boomers to ensure that their estate plans are crystalclear about how a lifetime of hard-earned assets are to be managed upon their passing.

“No one likes to think about death, let alone build an actual plan around that fateful day,”says Tony Maiorino, vice-president and head, RBCWealth Management Services at RBCWealth Management. “But one of the most important financial decisions you can makeduring your lifetime is to take the time to develop a well-thought-out estate plan to ensureassets are seamlessly transferred according to your wishes.”

A new report by RBCWealth Management – Until Death Do Us Part…Then EverythingCan Change – explores a key aspect of estate planning for married couples, in particular,and that’s the critical role a surviving spouse plays in managing and maintaining familywealth for future generations.

“We find that when we talk to couples about estate planning, most of them naturally focuson their kids,” Maiorino says. “Children are an important part of the decision-making pro-cess, no doubt, but a comprehensive estate plan needs to consider an important step beforethe kids, and that’s the surviving spouse.”

Until Death Do Us Part … Then Everything Can Change provides a comprehensive,plain-language look at estate planning essentials for married couples in Canada, includingthe various ways to leave assets to a spouse, while allowing the estate to seamlessly flowthrough to the next generation.
