Southgate master plan gets council go-aheadAbout 10% of former Safeway site for social housingWanda [email protected]
The master plan for redevelopment of the former Safeway distribution centre site in South Burnaby has received approval in principle from city council.
Dubbed “Southgate,” the community is being proposed for the 48-acre site bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets near the New Westminster border, the dairy plant and two city-owned properties at 7701 and 7679 18th St.
Council’s approval was only for the concept plan, stressed Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of Burnaby’s community development committee, in an interview. As with the Brentwood mall redevelopment, each phase of the project will be presented in detail to city council and require rezoning approval.
Owner and developer Ledingham McAllister proposes a variety of housing types, including up to 20 towers ranging in height from 19 to 46 storeys.
Cast ballots at any voting location in BurnabyWanda [email protected]
Looking to improve on the 23 per cent voter turnout in 2011, Burnaby city hall has made it easier to cast ballots this time around.
Election day is Saturday, Nov. 15, and people can vote between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Unlike in the past, this time voters can cast ballots at any of Burnaby’s 35 voting locations.
Registered voters should bring their voter cards or if they don’t have one, make sure to bring two pieces of identification, including something with your address and signature.
To be eligible, people must be 18 years old, Canadian citizens, residents of B.C. for at least six months before election day (as of May 13, 2014) and residents of Burnaby for at least 30 days
beforehand (as of Oct. 15, 2014), and not disqualified from voting by
any statute or law.This election, the
incumbent Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) will attempt a hat trick—a third straight sweep of all seats for mayor,
council and school board.That would include a fifth-
straight term as mayor for Derek Corrigan, who has served on
council since 1987.In the other corner is the Burnaby
First Coalition (BFC), an anyone-but-the-BCA group including former candidates of Team Burnaby and Burnaby Parents Voice.
The BFC’s mayoral candidate is Daren Hancott, a businessman who earlier this year was trying to secure the federal Conservative nomination for the new riding of Burnaby North-Seymour.

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson appealed for calm Wednesday ahead of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on the company’s requested injunction to clear protesters who are blocking survey crews on Burnaby Mountain.
The company wants
to drill test holes to determine if it can viably tunnel through the mountain rather than run its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project through an existing Burnaby neighbourhood.
“I’m just hoping we can see our way through this reasonably, calmly
and fairly,” he told reporters, acknowledging the dispute threatens to become a major protest that requires police action.
Anderson said the survey work has been “stopped by individuals set on
civil disobedience and intimidation”
and denied accusations the company has tried to intimidate protesters with a lawsuit seeking millions of dollars in
damages.He called the civil
suit a legally necessary
step to demonstrate financial implications in order to obtain the injunction.
“I have no intention of pursuing any damages if we can undertake the work that we know we have the legal clearance to complete,” Anderson said.
He said several trees have been removed by
crews but said they were a safety hazard to the planned work and half were dead or dying.
A decision on the injunction is expected by Nov. 17.
Anderson said photos of snarling protesters that were submitted to court – and that have now spawned a social media protest with opponents making similar faces – were to record the intimidation tactics being used.
Opponents hope direct action in Burnaby can block the $5.4-billion project, which would triple Trans Mountain’s flow of oil through B.C. and greatly increase the number of oil tankers it loads.
Anderson said there’s no change in the planned opening date of late 2018.
Nor, he said, has the company considered switching to a new terminal in Delta or Washington State, an option Burnaby politicians have suggested.
The project faces other legal and political challenges,
including agreement of the B.C. government on acceptable safety standards and benefits for First Nations and the province.
Anderson said 16 First Nations have so far signed support agreements.
Kinder Morgan has not yet responded in detail to a new SFU study that estimates of project benefits are much lower than the company claims and that the worst case spill scenario would consume billions of dollars, not $100 to $300 million.
“Clearly the SFU study has used a different set of assumptions than what our work has,” Anderson said, adding he expects the issue to be examined more fully in upcoming National Energy Board hearings.
“We think what we have done is fair and reasonable and in many respects conservative.”
He said the company has steadily improved the oil pipeline project in part by listening carefully to its detractors.

In addition to the two parties, there are a handful of independent candidates running for mayor (Helen Chang, Sylvia Gung, Allen Hutton, Raj Gupta), council (Jeff Kuah and Tom Tao) and school board (Elias Ishak).
Also on this year’s ballot are referendum questions seeking voters’ approval to add a total of more than 13 hectares (33 acres) of land to five city parks—Bonsor Park, Cottonwood Park/Brunette-Fraser Greenway, Stride Avenue Ravine Park, Westridge/Lou Moro Park and Willingdon Heights Park.

Last summer’s protracted labour dispute between teachers and the provincial government highlighted an important fissure in British Columbia’s education system.
As students and their parents in the province’s public schools cooled their heels waiting for a negotiated settlement to reopen schools, it was class as usual in private schools.
Frustration over class time lost to seemingly all-too-frequent strikes and lockouts has led some
parents to consider the private option.
But Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) school board candidate Larry Hayes says parents shouldn’t rush to judgment.
He says public education has much to offer.
“Our students are being provided with a wealth of choices and opportunities that meet the vast majority of needs,” says Hayes, who’s seeking reelection in the Nov. 15 municipal election.
He says the perceived problems with public education are
rooted in a lack of support from the provincial government.
“We are constantly faced with decisions and comments from a provincial government who say that they value public education but do their best to undermine the system and create a sense of
despair with the public,” says Hayes.
But Janice Beecroft, a school trustee candidate with the Burnaby First Coalition (BFC), says the blame game isn’t constructive.
“By simply blaming the government or the teachers union, we stop looking for ways to support both of our assets, teachers and students,” says Beecroft.
“We need to look for solutions, and that can come from within our own district.”
She says that process could
start by looking at what is attracting some families to private education.
“(By) addressing those issues and making possible changes in our public schools, we can regain the confidence of parents,” says Beecroft.
Ben Seebaran, another BFC candidate, says parents need to be given more of a say in their children’s education.
“It is the parent and not school personnel who have the ultimate authority over the child’s education,” says Seebaran.
Public education not in crisis says board incumbent

At its heart will be a five-acre park with a small lake and meandering stream. The two city-owned parcels on 18th Street would serve as a connection to the City in the Park neighbourhood and the Edmonds SkyTrain station.
Jordan said the city’s guidelines suggest up to 10 per cent of the overall project should be non-market housing. But how much of that will get built will depend on participation from senior governments.
“This translates to approximately 588,365 sq. ft. of gross floor area reserved
for the development of alternative housing only,” said a city planning report. The number of units and unit types “is dependent on senior government and housing providers’ use of the available density.”
As for concerns raised at the public hearing about the high-density nature of the plan, the report said, the plan includes a mix of highrises, mid and low-rise apartment buildings and townhouses.
This mix, as opposed to only low-rises that would take up more room, allows about 40 per cent of the site to be allocated for public open spaces, including the five-acre
park which will benefit the wider Edmonds community, the report said.
The Safeway milk plant on the site was sold over the summer to Agropur Cooperative of Quebec which plans to continue operating it. Ledingham McAllister president and CEO Ward McAllister said in an earlier interview that when the milk plant eventually moves, the developer has first dibs on buying the property, which is already incorporated into the master plan.
It will likely take about 20 years to build out the Southgate community, he said at the time.

Hayes says parents have plenty of opportunities to become engaged in the education system with parent advisory councils at each school and district-wide, as well as school planning councils.
“For those parents who can’t commit to these types of engagement, we encourage all our principals to have creative ways of letting parents communicate their ideas and concerns,” says Hayes. “There should be no reason for
parents that they can’t be engaged.”Beecroft says students also need to
be better engaged by their teachers.“We need the teachers to be on
board,” says Beecroft.She suggests the school board
rebuild the morale of teachers and staff after years of divisive labour disputes and funding challenges.
“By focusing on education and how to educate, critical thinking and engagement of students, we will see change,” she says.

Paul Pincott is calling it a wrap after 38 years of supplying decorative knick-knacks and furniture to movie, TV and theatre productions.
Pincott is closing his Can Am Importique prop warehouse in the Lake City Way area.
Burnaby’s King of Kitsch is retiring.
Although he’d rather not.Pincott, 70, said the cyclical
nature of the B.C. film industry finally caught up to him. Films and TV shows are going to areas that offer better tax incentives. More productions are using digital effects and green screens so there’s not as much demand for many of the retro items that fill his 24,000-square-foot warehouse to the rafters.
He tried to find a subtenant to ease some of the financial pressure, but that didn’t work out.
So on Nov. 20 and 21, Able Auctions will bring the gavel down on the eclectic assemblage of thousands of props that have helped decorate more than 2,000 productions.
Those props include everything from a life-size purple elephant to a giant birdcage, a sphinx, pirate mannequins, Elvis statues, styrofoam sharks of various sizes and breeds, plush monkeys, plastic hinds of beef and two massive oil paintings of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that were used in the upcoming Seth Rogen comedy The Interview, that was filmed in the Lower Mainland.
Pincott said he acquired most of the unique items from film and TV productions, essentially becoming a way station for the industry until another designer came along looking for that unique item or piece of furniture to decorate their set.
“They want to keep it in the system,” said Pincott.
“A lot of these things would be very difficult for them to replicate.”
Pincott said no item was too weird to never catch the eye of set decorators, who wander up and down the cluttered aisles of the expansive warehouse, clipboards in hand and chequebooks in their back pockets.
“You just never know,” said Pincott.
Some items are sold to bars and restaurants. That occasionally puts Pincott in the odd position of having to rent them back if they’re suddenly required for a movie or TV shoot.He said it’s been tough to stand by as crews from the auction house take inventory and tag items in preparation for their sale.
“It’s troublesome for me, “ said Pincott. “It’s impossible to replace the majority of this stuff.”
Pincott said he’ll hang on to some of the items to honour commitments he’s already made to set designers, and possibly as a base to rebuild his business after he takes a break to recharge.
“It’s a chance to purchase a bit of history,” said Pincott of the upcoming sale.
• Able Auctions will hold a preview at the Can Am warehouse, 3188 Thunderbird Cr., on Wed., Nov. 19, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. The auction will also be held there, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 20 and 21.

It seems to me that Kinder Morgan should consider hiring a new public relations firm, because right now its image in relation to the twinning and expansion of its pipeline through B.C. is less than stellar.
Cutting trees in a Burnaby park was not the way to engender support or convert opponents, nor is its refusal to answer many questions posed during the current National Energy Board hearings.
The proposed pipeline expansion, routed mostly on KM’s existing right-of-way, will go through countless neighbourhoods on the Lower Mainland. People want to be assured their backyards will look tomorrow the way they do today. They want to know that the possibility of leaks and spills is miniscule.
Of course, there are also the protestors and opponents who believe shipping more oil is criminal, and that the world should be concentrating on the development of alternative energy sources.
Geothermal would be nice. Wind and water currents also have great potential. The problem at the moment is that our society and our economy, currently and for the foreseeable future, is based on the use of oil-based products.
Oil and its derivatives power our vehicles, keep aviation aloft, create the fertilizers that grow our food, provide materials for clothing and the essential ingredient in most of the products we all use on a daily basis.
The world, or a least the people who populate it, keeps expanding and with that comes the demand for more oil. If the Chevron refinery in Burnaby, or the big one at Cherry Point stopped producing, the Lower Mainland would quickly grind to a halt.
Kinder Morgan’s plan however,
is not to increase flow to either of these facilities, but to export the Alberta bitumen via tanker to distant refineries.
And those export plans are what seem to be driving the belief of Kinder Morgan that what it wants to do is in the best interest of Canada, and therefore will be approved regardless of what it does, or doesn’t do, to quell people’s concerns.
In other words, the federal government wants to sell Canada’s oil and Kinder Morgan is going to make it happen regardless of the objections, real or imagined.
Not the way to get a project accomplished because, like most everything else that occurs, it should be done in a good-neighbourly way.
And that is why KM needs to look inwardly, change its tactics and listen and respond to the concerns people are voicing. That is respectful, and needs to be shown to those who want their voices heard.
The reality, and I am certain the eventuality, is that the dil-bit
will flow. Unlike the Enbridge proposal in Northern B.C., Kinder Morgan’s new line will be on a right-of-way that already exists, through pumping and delivery systems that are already in place. For the most part, when the project is completed few will remember it’s even there, except of course those who are monitoring the increased tanker traffic through Vancouver’s harbour.
Thus, if Kinder Morgan is so sure that its project will be approved by the National Energy Board and the federal government, why not be nice about it? Why not make every effort to ameliorate concerns?
Taking a highhanded approach only alienates people, results in lengthy and costly delays and, I believe in this case, merely prolongs the inevitable.
Time for the company to adopt a policy of being both ‘nice’ and forthright. We, supporters and objectors alike, deserve that.

The forums may be over, but the campaigns are in overdrive as the civic elections conclude the all-important final week.
Voters seemed to be interested, judging by turnouts at all-candidates meetings, signs planted on lawns all over town.
Hopefully that will result in increased voter turnout on Nov. 15.
Remember, you’re now voting in councillors and trustees for four-year terms, a 25-per-cent increase over previous elections.
Hopefully voters are beginning to realize how important the so-called third level of government is in our everyday lives.
What happens at city hall or the regional district office or the school board office directly affects you and your neighbour. Their decisions will affect your quality of life, the traffic you have to endure getting around town, the parks your kids play in, the education they get at school. They’ll also impact the amount of property taxes you pay, the number of coins you have to plug into parking meters, the fees you’ll pay to access municipal services.
We encourage everyone to get as informed as possible about the candidates pursuing these positions: and above all, exercise your right to vote.
The NewsLeader has endeavoured to cover as many local election issues as possible. We also ran profiles of all the candidates in recent issues.
It’s fitting that we all get to exercise our democratic right just a few days after we paid our respects to those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we too often take for granted.
We hope everyone wore a poppy and attended Remembrance Day services, Tuesday, to honour our veterans, and that as many as possible follow through and do the right thing on Saturday by exercising the hard-fought right to participate in a democracy.

COMMENTRe: A good opposition needs to have vision (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 31)
Mr. Myles appears to be more than happy with how Mayor Corrigan and the Burnaby Citizens Association are running Burnaby, but I fail to find his reasons convincing.
First let’s deal with the BCA’s well worn “Best managed city in Canada” award. A study done once, in 2009. And while it was an excellent achievement at the time, it was five years ago. Burnaby has changed a lot since then. And the fact the study was never repeated says a lot.
So instead of dwelling on an outdated report, let’s look at a more recent study, Moneysense’s “Canada’s Best Places to Live 2014.”
Burnaby is ranked 102. And if you look at where other local municipalities are ranked like Coquitlam at 84, Port Moody at 65, Richmond at 61, Delta at 48, and Vancouver at 39 one has to wonder why Burnaby is rated so much lower in comparison. So while Mr.
Myles defies people to list a single municipality that’s doing a better job than Burnaby, this study shows there are 101 of them.
As for the lower tax rate in Burnaby, it’s not surprising given that Mayor Corrigan appears to outright refuse to build infrastructure in our city. By the city’s own admission they are falling well behind on this, and yet council continues to push higher densities. Just look at how many areas of Burnaby are lacking basic amenities such as sidewalks. Tax rates are low because serviceslevels in Burnaby are equally as low.
On top of that, BCA’s own policies have made it prohibitively expensive for neighbourhoods to get infrastructure improvements. Property owners have to pay a large amount to have infrastructure installed, and then the city charges interest on that installation, which is effectively another tax. So sidewalks will never get installed
in neighbourhoods, as it is simply too expensive for most homeowners to afford.
Without a doubt the weakest point of Mr. Myles’ argument is his statement that our city provides “all the necessary services to address the needs of those less fortunate.” Apparently that does not include providing shelter to those without homes. And that is a pretty glaring omission, Mr. Myles. Burnaby continues to be the only city in the Lower Mainland to not have homeless shelters and even in the mayor’s latest response to homelessness, it’s just more of the same old song and dance.
Yes, homelessness is a complex matter, but you need to start somewhere and a safe dry place to sleep is an excellent place to start.

Ben Coli is finally able to meet the customers for his Dageraad craft beer face to face as he’s just opened the tasting room at his Burnaby brewery.
Ben Coli is finally getting the chance to meet his customers.
The Burnaby brewer has been bottling his Dageraad Belgian-style craft beer and distributing it to pubs and liquor stores since the spring.
And now, he’s just opened a small tasting room at the front of his Thunderbird Crescent location.
The tasting room will give customers a chance to test his
latest batches of beer straight from the tap, including its exclusive Burnabarian, as well as fill their glass growlers to take the beer home. It’s also the only place to get all the brewer’s current beers in bottles.
“It’s nice to see the faces and watch them taste the beer for the first time,” said Coli, who started his brewery after falling in love with Belgian beers when he spent time in Antwerp.
That one-on-one interaction between brewer and customer has been one of the factors fuelling the boom in small craft breweries in British Columbia, said Coli.
“We’re able to show people the brewery and talk about the beer,” he said.
Dageraad Brewery is located at 114-3191 Thunderbird Cr. For more information go to www.dageraadbrewing.com

Move over Obama, make way for the HellcatWashington D.C. - The U.S. capital is an exciting place to be, with all those presidential comings and goings, and crowds gathering near the gates of the White House in the hope of catching a glimpse of the leader of the free world.But on a recent day, all the exciting action was happen-ing at Summit Point Raceway, about an hour and half away in neighbouring Virginia, where a smaller crowd of journalists got more than a glimpse of the new 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat.
LooksThe first leg of the launch event was held at Ronald Reagan airport, in a hangar cleared to display the entire Charger lineup. They looked like colorful jellybeans scattered in different trim levels ranging from the base V6 model to the R/T models featuring a 5.7L V8, then to the SRT high performance 392 model, and the all-new, for 2015, Hellcat with 707 hp. The 2015 Charger gets an all-new exterior, the only holdover pieces are the roof and rear doors, and the rest is new, more aggressive, sleeker and muscular. The nose now has a less blunt look, with a slimmer headlight design that is meant to look like a bandit, wearing a mask. Each trim has different grille openings and in the case of the high horsepower Hellcat, all the air intakes, scoops and vents not only make the car look more menacing, but they all serve a function. The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd: it doesn’t need to scream at the top of its voice. That is left for the engine to do.
InsideWhen the last version of the Charger was refreshed, the focus was on updating the dash to improve the feel of the materials and the overall finish. The 2015 model takes things up a notch, with even more technology and improved style. The dash is covered with an aluminum
fascia, which has not migrated to the shifter surround. The shifter too has been updated to a T-style that re-minds older drivers of the Chargers sold in the original muscle car era. The steering wheel is new and has up-dated switches to control two new screens in the dash. They include a base 5-inch screen in the console or optional 8.4-inch version, plus a standard programma-ble screen in the instrument cluster for a quick glance
when driving. The high performance SRT models get a steering wheel with a flat bottom and heavily bolstered seats for track-ready driving. The real story is that this isn’t a track car, rather a solid family 4-door with room for all passengers.DriveOn the way to the racetrack, I drove the ($39,495) R/T, Hemi-equipped Charger over highways and some backcountry roads. This new model has a much more grownup feel and is a fantastic long road trip machine. Passing is a snap but the Charger was happiest at about 130km/h, maybe thanks to an all-new 8-speed automatic on all trim levels. Greeting us at the track were 5.7L Hemi cars, the 6.4L V8 Scat Pack model and the new Hellcat with a 6.2L V8 and with a big supercharger bolted on. This engine has 90 per cent of the parts
upgraded from the regular engines and each one is put on a 40-minute dyno test before being shipped to the customer. When the supercharger is up to full capacity, this engine will gulp 13,000 litres of air in one minute. I had a chance to drive all the models starting with the least powerful 5.7L with 370hp, then the 485HP 6.4L and continuing the rest of the day with the 707hp Hellcat. Each is very capable on the track but the Hellcat is so much more car, capable of a run to 100km/h in less than 4 second and it can stop with just as much viciousness. The impressive thing is just how easy this monster is to
drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Every-thing else just feels slow.VerdictThe average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6-equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.The LowdownPower: 707 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8Sticker price: $32,496-$64,[email protected]

Lahaina, Maui - Locals call it the “Maui Merge.”It’s enough to take a blissfully mellow tourist and perhaps get them as heated as their freshly acquired crimson sunburn. It’s a merge that doesn’t take place within the lines of an ending lane, as one would imagine. Somehow that merge extends onto the shoul-der and beyond. Watch out for the cyclist and the stray dog!It’s almost like a game, I’m told, to see how far ahead of all the other cars you can get.As I observe this type of manoeuvre in action from a Ford Escape rental vehicle, I can’t help but chuckle to myself. I guess some things stay the
same no matter what kind of paradise you’re driving in.But it’s not all bad, right?If you’re not stuck in traffic on Maui’s west island’s main highway – which doesn’t always move at a highway-like speed – you’re in luck. You’ll have a warm, tropical breeze flowing through the cabin, unless you’re in need of an air conditioning overdose to counteract the humidity.Hawaii Route 30, also known as the
Honoapi’ilani Highway, is a 56-kilo-metre stretch of road that you end up on when traveling to Lahaina or close to it.A “family” reunion just happened to be taking place on one of Hawaii’s
eight islands, which gave me a perfect excuse to beat the fall blah’s and grey skies that this time of year blesses us with. I use family in bunny ears since my BFF since childhood, Nikki, and I have been sister-like since grade three. Her family is my family. And vice versa.And as families do, they try to figure out logistics and transportation; who will be going in whose car when it came to outings. A total of nine of us were vacationing together.Luckily, my other sister, Minti lives on the island and had her Honda Odyssey to shuttle some adults, and her three daughters. Good thing. The Escape is roomy, though not that roomy. But when a chronic noise came from the brakes, the minivan was out of com-mission. Luckily for only a few hours, chaos could have ensued. Being the car person, I accompanied her to a local shop. Not only did her car get fixed very quickly, it gave insight into the local racing scene.

Yes, there’s one on Maui and it’s probably not what you would have expected.Owner of Kaanapali Car Care, Bill Throckmorton, had his 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on the hoist. With a small block Chevy inside that produces upwards of 400 horse-power, this vehicle meant business. Dirty business.From March to October, those looking for some whole-some family fun (and maybe some tailgating, whatever you interpret that to be!) are invited to the dirt track to watch him, along with fellow sprint car racers and demolition derby participants.It takes place at the appropriately named “Paradise Speed-way Maui.” Here’s the website in case you’re as curious as I am (http://www.paradisespeedwaymaui.com)Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the end-of-season event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute (sometimes) from the Honua Kai resort where all of us gathered. It was a breath of fresh air. Not only because we got off the resort, but it borders along a picturesque coastline. It’s the kind of coastline that postcards are made of: full of palm trees shimmying to the music of the wind.There you encounter scooters buzzing by, happy couples hand-in-hand and many modes of transportation intermin-gling. Front Street in Lahaina has a little bit of magic to it, too. In 2011, it was named by the American Planning Association as one of the “Great Streets.”Not every street can be great. They have guidelines.The visit was all too short and then traffic met us on the other end. What happens when you want to escape the drawbacks of paradise driving and you’re stuck in the back seat of a car? Perhaps this is the answer. Envision yourself on a beach, holding a (virgin) piña colada. You’re lying on your towel with your eyes closed, let the crashing waves penetrate your ears. Then picture yourself driving your fastest lap at the Nürburgring.Now that’s paradise. Until the driver behind you honks and you get to crawl forward a metre or so.“You’ll be at the beach soon,” you repeat to yourself. [email protected]

Maui drivingThe great thing is, even when you encounter some traffic on a Hawaiian highway, the beach is never too far away.

Exceptional fi nancial management and community-led planning have made Burnaby great…
To date, these include:
● 146 child care spaces;
● housing grants to support affordable and/or special-needs housing – most recently, $1 million toward the George Derby affordable rental project;
● enhancements to seven city parks;
● construction of the Tommy Douglas Library and the Bonsor 55+ Centre and renovations to existing facilities;
● construction of theHoldom and Brentwood resource centres and two new centres in Metrotown; and
● environmental and urban design improvements to trails, parks and streets.
and there’s much more to come…The city’s innovative Community Benefi t Bonus Policy enables us to provide a wide variety of valuable community amenities at no capital cost to taxpayers.
BCA Council and Trustees collaborate to create 600 new child care spaces
On October 20, Burnaby’s BCA council and board of education signed an innovative agreement that will enable the development of up to 12 new child care facilities (for up to 600 spaces) on school district lands over the next three years, at no capital cost to taxpayers.
The city will fund the capital costs with funds acquired from developers building in our town centres. The district will provide sites and manage the operation of the facilities by non-profi t child care providers.
These centres will be on school grounds, keeping children in familiar surroundings and eliminating the need for travel.
2 Metrotown ● a new Metrotown
performance and events centre – a central place for people to gather and celebrate
The Survey Says…A September 24 to October 5 online study by Insights West asked 2,138 Metro Vancouver residents in 19 municipalities for their thoughts on various aspects of the region’s municipal governments. Burnaby’s municipal government tied for fi rst in the categories of…
● Best overall
● Making city hall work in a transparent and unbiased fashion

Fraser Institute reports Burnaby has “best overall fi nancial position”In an October 2014 report comparing municipal government fi nances, the Fraser Institute highlights the fact that Burnaby, with its assets of $2,914 per person, has the best Overall Financial Position of 17 Metro Vancouver municipalities (defi ning overall fi nancial position as: “the difference between the government’s gross liabilities and fi nan-cial assets”).
The report also highlights the fact that Burnaby is one of only two of 17 Metro Vancouver municipalities that spends $0 on interest.
Because of the City’s excellent fi nancial position, unlike almost all other Metro Vancouver municipalities, Burnaby has no need to borrow and, therefore, wastes no money on interest charges.

Exceptional fi nancial management and community-led planning have made Burnaby great…
To date, these include:
● 146 child care spaces;
● housing grants to support affordable and/or special-needs housing – most recently, $1 million toward the George Derby affordable rental project;
● enhancements to seven city parks;
● construction of the Tommy Douglas Library and the Bonsor 55+ Centre and renovations to existing facilities;
● construction of theHoldom and Brentwood resource centres and two new centres in Metrotown; and
● environmental and urban design improvements to trails, parks and streets.
and there’s much more to come…The city’s innovative Community Benefi t Bonus Policy enables us to provide a wide variety of valuable community amenities at no capital cost to taxpayers.
BCA Council and Trustees collaborate to create 600 new child care spaces
On October 20, Burnaby’s BCA council and board of education signed an innovative agreement that will enable the development of up to 12 new child care facilities (for up to 600 spaces) on school district lands over the next three years, at no capital cost to taxpayers.
The city will fund the capital costs with funds acquired from developers building in our town centres. The district will provide sites and manage the operation of the facilities by non-profi t child care providers.
These centres will be on school grounds, keeping children in familiar surroundings and eliminating the need for travel.

GVHBA prepares for annual Coats for Kids campaignThe Greater Vancouver Home
Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is preparing for its 19th-annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose many initiatives help to provide
a brighter Christmas for families in need. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarm-ing as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for
distribution to children, teenag-ers and adults,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit.
“Coats for Kids has become an institution of the association. We already have members calling to sign up,” says de Wit. “Our
members help to ensure we collect quality, gently used pieces of cloth-ing, with all the buttons buttoning and zippers zipping.”
“This year we are putting out a special request for hoodies, making sure that not-so-easy demographic is covered. It is so important to reach out and help families in our communities who are in need, especially during this time of the year.”
In addition to the GVHBA office, member companies at loca-
tions throughout Lower Mainland municipalities, including several
Black Press community papers, will serve as coat drop-off sites from No-vember 24 to December 4. Take the opportunity now to clean out, wash and pack up those items no longer being used.
For more information about the Coats for Kids campaign and a list of participating companies and locations, check out
your local Black Press community paper or www.gvhba.org starting in November.
