Burnaby could be receiving more than500 Syrian refugees as the Liberal govern-ment moves to bring 25,000 to Canada bythe years end.The initial figures are from Immigrant

Services Society of B.C., which hosted adaylong emergency planning conference inBurnaby Monday.Were still waiting for the federal govern-

ment to formerly announce what the logisti-cal arrangements are, but were getting hintsthat the airlifts will start in early December,

Dec. 1 or so, said the societys Chris Fri-esen lastThursday. Theyre looking at ashigh as 900 a day.Immigrant Services Society is the main

group tasked with helping government-as-sisted refugees settle in B.C. Government-assisted or convention refugees are pre-approved by the United Nations and receivegovernment help for their first year in Can-ada.Immigrant Services Societys initial esti-

mates show 477 to 596 Syrian government-assisted refugees are expected in Burnaby,which is the third most common municipal-ity in B.C. for government-assisted refugees

to settle.About a quarter of those arrivingin Burnaby will likely be children and teens,based on previous settlement patterns.Thesociety also estimates 300 long-term hous-ing units are needed in Burnaby to accom-modate the new arrivals.Friesen is asking people with any types of

housing extra rooms, basement suites, va-cant apartments to sign up at tinyurl.com/ISSRefugeeHelp.Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan raised

concerns about government support andBurnabys low vacancy rates for affordablerental housing.Its a good thing that were trying to help

with refugees, he said, But theres a re-sponsibility on the party of the governmentto provide the resources, not just to expecttheyre going to spring from local commu-

nities. Its just not there.Corrigan said the Vietnamese boat peo-

ple (refugees who fledVietnam during andafter theVietnameseWar) went to smallertowns, integrated and then moved to largercommunities.Our vacancy rates are almost zero. I

Mike Pearson has spent yearsstudying and working the StoneyCreek watershed in Burnaby.As an ecologist, he samples the

creek several times a year.And whatPearson has found most recently hashim concerned for the future of a rarefish that calls the waters of StoneyCreek home.There are several types of fish that

inhabit the creek, including trout andcoho salmon.But his biggest concern is for the

Nooksack dace, a small fish that is list-ed as endangered and protected un-der the federal Species at Risk Act.Pearson said the fish has only beenfound in four creeks in the country,one being lower Stoney Creek.Most recently, he said hes found

If your commute takesyou along the north end ofProductionWay in Burna-by, you better make alter-native plans for at least thenext week.Thanks to the sinkhole

that opened up on the roadFriday (Nov. 13) morning,repairs will close the streetfor at least the rest of thisweek.That would be a bestcase scenario according tocity officials, who note theroad could be closed for upto two weeks.City crews were called to

the section of ProductionWay between Broadwayand East Lake after a largesinkhole appeared in sever-al spots.One three-foot-deep hole

swallowed the back wheelsof an articulated bus alongthe stretch of road.Theroad was shut down as asafety precaution.And after a weekend of

investigation, the cause ofthe sinkhole has been de-termined.James Lota, an assistant

engineering director withthe City of Burnaby, saidheavy rains that day over-

whelmed the drainage sys-tem leading to the sinkhole.He told the NOW the

sinkhole was not related toany other projects or con-struction occurring in thearea.However, Lota did sug-

gest the situation couldbe related to the wind-storm fromAugust, addingthe storm blew debris intocreek beds and now therains are washing that de-bris into culverts.Its just an accumulat-

ed effect from the weatherover the last few months,he said.Its also been a tough

couple weeks for city crewsin the area due to stormyweather.

Last month, while workwas being carried out onthe Stoney Creek rehabili-tation project, heavy rainsforced sediment into a trib-utary after a bypass pumpfailed and also washed out

a section along KinderMorgans pipeline on Ga-glardiWay, leaving it ex-posed.Lota said the city does

have extra resources onhand at this time of year towatch for flooding.Every time we expect

heavy rain, our crews goout to do flood watches, tomake sure all the culvertsand drainage systems andcatch basins are unpluggedto make sure the drainageflows when it should, hesaid, adding its the flashflooding events that causethe most havoc to infra-

structure.As for the bus, no one

was hurt, and both the pas-sengers and the bus opera-tor were safely evacuated.Meanwhile, for tran-

sit users, the 145 route willbe detoured from the Pro-ductionWay station overto Lougheed and Gaglar-di and continue to SFU,while the 136 is detouredfrom Broadway to Ga-glardi, Lougheed and thenback on to ProductionWayavoiding the sinkhole area.For updates on transit go

Local Mounties are concerned aboutthe well-being of a Ugandan man who dis-appeared last week while visiting Burnabywith a childrens choir.Edward Luvuuma, 32, is a teacher who

works with the African Childrens Choir,a group currently wrapping up its tour ofCanada, which began in February. Luvuu-ma arrived in Burnaby along with the restof the choir last Friday, the same day he waslast seen, according to Burnaby RCMP.(He) was last seen around 10:30 p.m.

in the 7700 block of Cumberland Street,Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt.Maj. John Buistold media onMonday.Burnaby RCMP want to emphasize

that Mr. Luvuuma is not in any trouble.Weare simply wanting to confirm his well-be-ing.Mr. Luvuuma also has many friendsand colleagues who want to ensure that hessafe, both here in British Columbia and inUganda, Buis added.Police are worried that Luvuuma, who is

unfamiliar with Burnaby,might have gonefor a walk and gotten lost in nearby wood-ed areas surrounding Cumberland Street orwas injured and is in need of medical atten-tion.After a failed attempt by a search dogto pick up Luvuumas scent, it was decidedsearch and rescue crews wont be used, Buistold theNOW.Luvuuma was scheduled to leave Cana-

da with the choir on Nov. 19 and travel tothe United Kingdom.His visa expires onNov. 25.At this time, it doesnt appear foul play

is the cause of the disappearance, but Buiscouldnt say for certain as investigators con-tinue to search for the chaperon.When asked if he thought Luvuuma

could have left on purpose in an attempt tostay in Canada after the tour, Buis said hecouldnt say but felt it was unlikely.Were not sure at this point. Hes been

in Canada for some time. Its not just lastweek that he arrived, he arrived back inFebruary, so that just doesnt quite makesense, so were just trying to make sense ofit all and find out if hes OK, Buis said.

The Burnaby school dis-trict is getting more thanhalf a million dollars to fixup two of its schools.Aubrey Elementary will

get $205,800 for new ven-tilators and a direct digital

control system while StrideAvenue Community Schoolwill get $315,000 for newboilers and ventilation units.The projects were ap-

proved under the provincesroutine capital program and

picked based on need, pri-ority and their support ofstudent learning.These improvements

will have the dual effect ofincreasing energy efficien-cy and reducing the carbonfootprint of our schools,said Burnaby North MLARichard Lee in a press re-lease.Ultimately this will save

money in the long run too.Every year boards of edu-

cation submit capital plansto the ministry that includedetails on school buildingpriorities in their districts.The provincial govern-

dont know where they aregoing to put people.Wecant accommodate the peo-ple here who are homeless,Corrigan said. It just seemsto me putting new refugeesin communities that are al-ready stretched for socialhousing, especially afford-able rental housing, doesntmake much sense.Mondays planning meet-

ing with Immigrant ServicesSociety included representa-tives from the airport, vari-ous government ministries,health authorities, schoolboards, municipal govern-ments, and organizationslike the Red Cross.The goal

was to come up with a planto better help government-assisted refugees in theirfirst six to eight weeks inCanada.The society shouldhave more concrete num-bers for Burnaby by the endof the week.As for Fridays terrorist

attacks on Paris, Friesen in-dicated they dont changeCanadas plans to help withthe humanitarian crisis.According to (Justin)

Trudeaus government, itchanges nothing. Securi-ty background checks willcontinue as they alwayshave and the goal remains,25,000 before Dec. 31,Friesen said.

A crash involving a Burn-aby RCMP cruiser lastweek wont lead to an in-vestigation by B.C.s policewatchdog.The collision happened

on Kingsway at Nelson Av-enue shortly after 3 p.m.on Friday, Nov. 13, accord-ing to Burnaby RCMP.Thepolice cruiser was speedingwestbound on Kingsway,when it struck a car in thefar right lane.A pedestrian,also in the area, was hit bythe impacted vehicle whenthe cruiser crashed into it,Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt.Maj. John Buis said.The pedestrian was tak-

en to hospital, where she re-mained at press deadlines.Following the collision,

the Burnaby RCMP noti-

fied the Independent Inves-tigations Office (IIO), theprovincial body that investi-gates possible offences com-mitted by police officers.

The IIO confirmed it dis-patched investigators to thescene to review medicalevidence and determinewhether an offence wascommitted.After its review, the IIO

concluded that there wasno serious harm (as de-fined by the Police Act),and therefore the case didnot meet the threshold re-quired for the IIO to investi-gate further.

The crash happenedwhile the officer in the po-lice cruiser was racing to anongoing incident at Crys-tal Mall where a suspectedthief had been apprehendedby two men. Buis said thesuspect was trying to breakfree from the men holdinghim down and during hisattempt, tried to injure themen.Its just really unfortu-

nate (the crash) occurred,Buis said. We dont know,when were tasked with re-sponding to an emergency,what is actually taking place.They said there were weap-ons involved.The suspect in the theft

was eventually arrestedand taken into custody. Nocharges have been laid yet,but investigators are puttingtogether a report for Crowncounsel, Buis said.

Scientistscanspeak,willwelisten?Government scientists

across Canada were cry-ing Eureka! recently af-ter their new prime ministerremoved the gags that hadbeen stuffed in their mouthsfor the last nine years.For those who arent fa-

miliar, the scientists whowork in our various federaldepartments were forbiddenfrom speaking publicly or tothe media about their workand findings, under threatof losing their jobs.Typically, when we would

request an interview with

a scientist in, say, the De-partment of Fisheries andOceans, the request wouldbe sent upstream wherethrongs of media handlerswould pass it around viaemail, strategizing how bestto respond without actual-ly granting anyone an inter-view.Then, a few days after

deadline, if we were lucky,wed get a prepared state-ment, often exalting thegreatness of governmentand completely ignoring theoriginal questions asked.

It was part of the previousgovernments attempt to ex-ert white knuckle controlover information, especiallythe stuff that ran contrary tothe party line.Following the announce-

ment that Statistics Canadawould reinstitute the man-datory long-form census, itslike a light bulb has comeback on in Ottawa, whichwere pleased to see.But whether the new gov-

ernment actually uses thatlight to shine its way re-mains to be seen. One of

the first real tests will comeat the United Nations Par-is Climate Conference nextmonth.The conference comes

at a difficult time.The ter-rorist attacks in Paris will,rightfully, be on everyonesminds.Climate change may look

like a secondary threat com-pared to terrorism. Butmany scientists and globalleaders will tell you that thetwo threats may be more re-lated than one might thinkat first glance.

A planet that cannot pro-vide habitation for all itspeoples will surely see moreconflicts over land and wa-ter in the future. ISIS andother terrorists may be fu-elled by religious insani-ty, but they are also driv-en by a need for territory.And territory that can sup-port their followers.Withthe Middle-East facing re-cord high temperatures thispast year, it will only be amatter of time, if climatechange is not at least sloweddown, before certain areas

are deemed completely un-inhabitable.Do we honestly think that

those of us in cooler climeswill be able to simply ignorethe effects of climate changeon those caught in un-end-ing droughts and searingtemperatures? If we thinkthe exodus from Syria istroubling imagine a worldwhere many populations aretrying to escape unlivableregions because of mas-sive climate change. It couldmake Syrias refugees looklike a drop in the bucket.

Moms worried about fumes

GetreadyforaB.C.brawlThe legislature is wrap-

ping up its fall sitting thisweek, and one side in thatconflicted house is leavingwith a much bigger smile ontheir collective faces.Thatwould be NewDemocraticParty MLAs, who used theirtime during the short ses-sion to effectively drag theB.C. Liberals through vari-ous shards of glass, most ofwhich emerged courtesy ofthe governments curious in-ability to not destroy pub-lic records (or to even createthem in the first place).During the session, the

B.C. Liberals seemed well,bored, for the most part.There was certainly noth-ing on the legislative agendato create much interest or fi-ery debate.When the gov-ernment side dreams up alaw to formally create a redtape reduction day (andprecious little of other legis-lation), that kind of tells youtheres not much gas left inthe tank.Throw in the facttheMLAs spent several daystalking about how scenicor historic or just plain nicetheir home ridings are (partof a motion on redrawingthe electoral map) and it be-comes abundantly clear thatsometimes, the legislaturereally doesnt need to be re-called.But yet it does.The legislature is also

there to allow the Opposi-tion an opportunity to holdthe governments feet to theproverbial fire.And, through the theatri-

cal tool of Question Period,the NDP did just that on adaily basis.The scandalous

details of the improper de-letion of government emailsprovided the NDP amplefodder to lay the lumber onthe government benchesover and over again.The recent session also

showed the NDP has ad-opted a much more aggres-sive tone in its attacks on theB.C. Liberals in general andon Premier Christy Clark inparticular.The civil, almostpolite tone that character-ized the reigns of both Car-ole James andAdrian Dixis gone.The new strategymatches the in-your-face fi-ery manner of the currentleader, John Horgan.Considering the old ap-

proach resulted in losingthree elections, its hard tofault the new one. In someways, we are seeing a re-turn to the days when B.C.politics really was a kind ofblood sport.That would bethe time when the NDP andits arch foe, the Social Cred-it Party, would rather spit ineach others faces than havea decent conversation witheach other.Of course, the NDP rare-

ly won elections with thatapproach either. But theycame very close to winningseveral times.Horgan andthe NDP have served offi-cial notice: the run-up to thenext election is going to berough going. I suspect Clarkand her caucus wont shyaway from whats shapingup to be an old-fashionedbrawl.Buckle up. Its going to be

a bumpy ride.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

We need to balancearts, sports fundingDear EditorRe: Arts beingneglected?Crymea river, Letters to the editor,BurnabyNOW,Nov. 11.

In response toMarkBerrys letter, I wonderif he has ever been in theShadbolt Centre toparticipate in anyof theprograms runby thewonderful staff there. This 20-year-old facility,yes, 20 years old, charges fees for eachandevery class that is run there. I knowof this as aregular user for thepast 11 years.

I do recall seeingmanyplaying fields inBurnaby around the time that the arts centrewas expandedand renamedas theShadboltCentre.

Since then, spendingonarts has been,what Imight callmaintenance level, keepingprograms running, butwithout expansion. Thenew training centre onKensington is awon-derful sports facility, andone that I amproudof, dont getmewrong. Wedoneedamorebalancedapproach to the fundingof both artsand sports.DaveMcGuigan,Burnaby

Burnaby needs anew script on housingDear EditorMayorDerekCorriganand cityCouncil recently accepteda staff report calledGrowthManagement andHousingPolicies inBurnaby.

The reportwas a response to residentconcerns about thedemolitionof affordablerental apartments inMetrotown tomakewayformassive condo towers.

Last June, local residents spoke at a rezon-inghearing andexpressed their frustrationandanger at theway these large redevelop-ment projectswerepushingpeople out oftheir homes and communities and creatinga significant loss of affordable housing in theneighbourhood.

Theywanted the city toput in placepoliciesthatwould stop thesedemolitions and requirereplacement of rental units accessible to low-incomeandworkingpeople due to redevelop-ment.

The report that responded to these con-cernswas a 15-pagedocument that justified abusiness-as-usual stanceon thepart of thecity: thebuildings beingdemolishedare oldandare at the endof their life-cycle;weneedtobuildmorehousing for our increasingpopu-lation; densification increases affordability inthe area,were boundbybylawsandpolicies,and the senior levels of government need topitch in to address thehousing crisis.

The report shouldhavebeen called Dis-placement byDesign. The fact is that the citycontrols landuse and zoning; these are in theirpowers todeploy in the interests of protectingresidents and communities from the violenceof gentrification anddisplacement.

Basedon this report, the city approvedredevelopment projects (in various stages) forthree sites inMetrotown,whichwill entail thedemolitions of 10 apartment buildings and theevictionof hundreds of residents.

Themayor and city council need to stop theour hands are tied we cant do anythingdiscourse and take seriously their responsibili-ty for protecting residents against thepower ofcorporate development, anddoing everythingin their power to ensure adequate, affordableand secure housing for renters in this city.DaveDiewert, Burnaby

inches and inches of sedi-ment along the waterwaywhere the creek meets upwith the Brunette River, andhe fears that could do ir-reparable harm to the dace.He explained the dace are awarm water fish and when itgets cold they go down intothe river bed through winter.With a large deposit of

sand and sediment, Pear-son suggested it could fill inspaces where the dace liveand be potentially devastat-ing.Well never know, were

they active enough to getout of there, were some ofthem buried alive, I dontknow, he told theNOW,during a recent tour of thearea. I suspect there issome serious damage.Last month, while city

crews were repairing a cul-vert upstream as part of arehabilitation project, heavyrains from a storm forcedsediment through a tribu-

tary of the creek.The city has been assess-

ing the environmental dam-age to the creek and lastweek stated the early indi-cation is the fish habitat willbe fine.

Pearson stopped short ofblaming the culvert workon the problems facing thedace fish, but instead sug-gested the recent eventshave added to the stresses inthe creek, noting other spills,high temperatures in thesummer, and foot and dogtraffic in the area.Well never know the full

impacts, but Im certainlynot comfortable with con-cluding everything is fine,he said.

While Pearson suggestedit is difficult to know exactlyhowmany dace are actuallyin the creek, he said the cityneeds to figure out strategiesto reduce incidents of spillsin the waterway.It seems to me, we need

to develop some much morerobust protocols to how towork around the creek, hesaid.However, Pearson is more

optimistic the chum salmonin the creek will be OK.Meanwhile, city officials

are still confident the fishhabitat will recover from thedamage caused by the reha-bilitation project.These debris flows this

one was a result of construc-tion, but these debris flowshappen in nature as well,James Lota, an assistant en-gineering director with theCity of Burnaby, said. Itwill recover.There shouldbe no long-term effects onthe fish habitat on that trib-utary.

Troubledwaters:TheNooksackdace is a small, endangeredminnowonly found inahandful of streams inB.C., andBurnabys StoneyCreek is oneof them.BiologistMikePearson is raising concerns thatupstreamconstructioncouldbe threatening the red-listed species. PHOTOCONTRIBUTED/FILE

Burnabys two NewDemocrat MPs have famil-iar postings in the partysnew shadow cabinet.Peter Julian,MP for New

Westminster-Burnaby, is theNDPs house leader, whileKennedy Stewart,MP forBurnaby South, is the shad-ow science critic. Both are

positions the MPs had pre-viously, when their partyheld official opposition sta-tus.Julian, the second-lon-

gest-serving MP in the par-tys caucus, said he washonoured to be house lead-er.Thats a key position

for our work in the Houseof Commons, Julian said.That means I have the re-

sponsibility of preparing theresponse to legislation thatcomes forward from thegovernment and helping putforward the NDP alterna-tives as well.Party leaderTomMulcair

announced the cabinet ap-pointments onThursday.According to Julian, the

partys focus will be holdingthe Liberals accountable forthe election promises they

made on things like climatechange, natural resource de-velopment and electoral re-form.

As for the science portfo-lio, Stewart acknowledgedthe Liberals have un-muz-zled scientists, but its fund-ing hes concerned about.Will science get the

money? he asked. Re-opening labs and rehiringscientists will cost money.The NDP now holds 44

seats in Parliament, which isdown by roughly half sincethe previous election.

With a smaller caucus,the New Democrats can bemore nimble and pivot a lotfaster on issues, accordingto Stewart. Stewart also saidMulcair is planning to stayon as party leader until thenext election.Stewart is moving to a

new constituency office at4940 Kingsway in Decem-ber. Julians office is still at7615 Sixth St. in Burnaby.

Not only are they safer fordrivers, but a move to re-place thousands of street-lights with LEDs has putBurnaby in a class of itsown.The City of Burnaby re-

cently announced it wouldbecome the first municipali-ty in the province to convertall of its streetlights to LED,or light-emitting diodes.

The city will start theproject by replacing 1,900streetlights in the southeastarea before converting all11,000 lights by 2018.The first conversions are

expected to take place inspring of 2016.We are proud to be the

first city in British Colum-bia to begin conversionof all of our streetlights toLEDs, said Mayor Der-ek Corrigan in a statement.Burnaby is committed to

maximizing energy efficien-cy because of the many sig-nificant associated eco-nomic and environmentalbenefits.He noted the streetlight

conversion is a key part ofthe citys plan to reduce en-ergy consumption, addingthe new lights will improvelighting, lower streetlightoperating and maintenancecosts, and reduce the mu-nicipalitys potential impacton climate change.

Replacing 1,900 street-lights with LEDs is expect-ed to save about 760,000kilowatt hours each year enough to power 70 homesannually, according to apress release.The city purchased the

LED streetlights throughthe provinces LED Street-lights Across B.C. program.Financial support was alsoprovided by B.C.Hydro.

City leadsthewayonlighting LEDstreetlight facts The city has completed trial installations in areas suchasLougheedHighway, to test anddemonstrate thebenefits ofLED lighting, before committing to convert all of the citysstreetlights. Its estimated that this programwill save approximately760,000 kWha58per cent reductionper year throughreducedenergy consumptionof the 1,900 streetlights beingreplacedby LEDs in this first phase. LED streetlights last up to five-times longer, requiring lessmaintenance thanexistinghigh-pressure sodiumstreet-lights. LED streetlights provide awhiter light source andenablebetter colour recognition than the yellower highpressuresodium lights currently in place. LED streetlights are dark sky compliant,whichhelpsdecrease light pollutionbybetter focusing light onto theroadways.

With Christmas less thansix weeks away, the BurnabyArts Council wants to onceagain help with the Christ-mas shopping.The 44th annual Deer

Lake Craft Festival returnsto the Shadbolt this week-end, with more than 50 arti-sans on hand.Thats rough-ly eight more vendors thanlast year, according to officemanagerTeenaMartin.I think with a combi-

nation of marketing, thewebsite and our fabulousreputation, Ive just been in-undated with calls, so Ivehad to turn quite a fewpeople away, she told theNOW, adding shes evenhad to create a few waitlists.Among the vendors are

jewellery makers, sculptors,photographers, and manymore. Back by popular de-mand isViolet Finvers cre-ative glass work and Jack Ol-ives pottery pieces.Theres also going to be

a variety of food artisans everything from gourmetmarshmallows and jams tojellies and Janes honey.As this is a juried event,

Martin said its very impor-tant to choose the right ar-tisans.The quality has to be

there, the uniqueness needsto be there as well.Theres

dozens of shows out thereright now and youre com-peting against that, she ex-plained.With the Craft Festival at-

tracting a crowd of about3,000 last year,Martin ex-pects an even bigger turnoutfor 2015.The fact that this year

Im not really having tochase vendors, theyre com-ing to me.That, to me, tells

me they know this is a greatevent and the people whoare participating are spread-ing the word, she said.Besides the trinkets and

good eats, there will also bea variety of performances onoffer, including violinist Ni-cole Scoffield and membersof the BurnabyMountainSenior Secondary choir.Some Burnaby high

school students,meanwhile,will be on site for face paint-ing.Another kid-friendly ac-tivity will be a crafts tableset up by the Burnaby Hos-pital Foundation. For par-ents, theres the very popu-lar basket raffle, in additionto daily door prizes.The festival runs from

11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday(Nov. 20) and from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. on Saturday andSunday.The Shadbolt Cen-tre for the Arts is located at6450 Deer Lake Ave.Admission and parking

It was supposed to be amajor coup for the City ofBurnaby.The municipality had

received an internationalaward for the accessibility ofthe Edmonds CommunityCentre.It was just one of four fa-

cilities in the world beingrecognized by the Interna-tional Paralympic Commit-tee and International As-sociation for Sports andLeisure Facilities.So, to fetch the award,

Coun.Dan Johnston wassent to represent councilat a ceremony in Cologne,

Germany.But on the way home at

the airport, he slipped andfell, breaking his hip.Mayor Derek Corrigan

acknowledged the incidentat a recent council meeting,thanking Johnston for hissacrifice.Our heartfelt sympa-

thy goes out to councillorJohnston, who paid a bigprice for going and gettingthis award for us, he toldcouncil, adding the council-lor had his hip operated onand is recovering in hospi-tal. Tonight its bitter to re-ceive this award.The mayor also wished

Johnston a quick recovery.Exactly how long the

councillor will be away fromseat is unclear.TheNOW attempted to

reach out to Johnston, buthe did not return any calls.But the situation has at

least one fellow colleaguequestioning the type of cov-erage councillors have whentheyre doing official busi-ness on behalf of the city.Coun.NickVolkow said

the incident raises the ques-tion of whether councillorsare employees of the city,noting politicians are oftenattending events like busi-ness openings and roof-topceremonies for constructionprojects.He indicated the citys fi-

nance committee is looking

at the issue but couldnt of-fer much more information.This is really a new situ-

ation for all of us,Volkowsaid, noting Johnston tooktime off work to attend theceremony in Germany onthe citys behalf. Its notunique to us. Every citycouncillor in my under-standing in the province isnot covered byWorkSafe.As for the communi-

ty centres recognition, theAward of Distinction hon-ours sports and leisure facil-ities that, by being highly ac-cessible, offer all people theopportunity to practise andview sport freely and with-out barrier, according to acity press release.

As the holiday seasonkicks into high gear, peoplewill be plenty busy partyingand celebrating in the festiveatmosphere.And like it has for sev-

eral years now,OperationRed Nose and the hundredsof volunteers are preparingyour sleigh ride home if youget a little too carried away.After a record-breaking

season last year, Red Noseis back for the 2015 seasonoffering rides in theTri-Cit-ies, Burnaby and NewWest-minster.This year, the service will

run the four weekends be-fore Christmas and NewYears Eve Nov. 27 and28,Dec. 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19and 31.The service starts at9 p.m. and runs until 3 a.m.Were trying to makes

sure were doing everythingwe can to provide a conve-nient alternative to allow[people] to get home, saidOperation Red Nose coor-dinator ChrisWilson.Last year, the service pro-

vided 1,011 rides betweenthe three communities andraised $32,940 for Kid-Sport.It was an overall record-

breaking year, butWilsonacknowledged OperationRed Nose hasnt grown asmuch as hed like to see inBurnaby and NewWest-minster.

While Operation RedNose is entering its ninthyear in theTri-Cities, it ex-panded to include Burna-by and NewWestminster in2012.Wilson suggested part

of the challenge is most ofthe organizing committeeis based out of theTri-Cit-ies, adding the organiza-tion could to do a better jobof reaching out to Burnabyand NewWestminster.We could grow a lot

more if we were able to getsome movers and shak-ers from those two cities in-volved in our committee,

Wilson said, adding the or-ganization has had a goodresponse getting volunteersand calls for the service inthe two communities.Operation Red Nose uses

a team of volunteers to drivepeople and their cars home,for a donation.Volunteerswork in teams of three, withtwo driving the client in theclients vehicle and the thirdfollowing behind in anoth-er vehicle.The money from dona-

tions goes toward KidSportand gets divided by therides in each community.Wilson said each year

Operation Red Nose con-tinues to grow, noting thelarge amount of young peo-ple under the age of 25 us-ing the service.We think this is a great

program because you getyour car home and themoney goes to charity, hesaid.Last year, Operation Red

Nose had 280 volunteersover the course of the cam-paign, butWilson noted theservice could use about 350.If youre interested in

volunteering, go to opera-tion rednosetricities.com formore information.For a ride, call 778-866-
