Coté takes a seat in mayor’s chairNew council sworn in MondayGrant [email protected]

Transportation, collaboration and economic development are high on the city’s to-do list for the next four years, said new Mayor Jonathan Coté in his inaugural speech Monday night.

Coté, who defeated four-term incumbent Wayne Wright in the Nov. 15 civic election after serving three terms on council himself, was sworn into office Monday. He took his oath along with incumbents Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy, Chuck Puchmayr and Lorrie Wiliams, and newcomers Patrick Johnstone and Mary Trentadue.

“In the months ahead, I look forward to working with everyone in our city to harness our assets and ensure our community continues to thrive and grow,” said Coté during his speech.

Coté listed many of the city’s “investments” in the past decade or more that he believes have paid dividends, and will continue to do so, for the livability and quality of life in New Westminster.

Local architect presents design aimed to solve safety and site issuesGrant [email protected]

A local architect is proposing what some might consider a pie-in-the-sky solution to the New Westminster secondary quandary.

Connaught Heights resident Robert Billard suggests the problem can be solved by scrapping the

traditional sprawling design and instead building a school that rises above it all.

When proposals for designing a replacement Massey Theatre in conjunction with a new NWSS were called for, Billard sat in on the information sessions the city put on for potential bidders.

“I found it interesting most of the

meetings were consumed with the site restrictions,” says Billard, who has worked on 21 school projects

in Nova Scotia, Nunavut and British Columbia. “But I didn’t think any of them were hurdles for going up.”

Those constraints centred on the issues of a cemetery on the site, soil contamination and the need to build

the new school while continuing to operate the current school.

Every project, he says, has site constraints. Though he admits the fact there’s an historic cemetery on the Mercer site is both an unusual and sensitive one.

When Billard was looking to compete for the design-build replacement of Burnaby Central, the property’s topography created complications for designers.

How about this for a new high school?

BILLARD ARCHITECTUREArchitect and New West resident Robert Billard has worked on 21 school projects across the country, and has pitched a design for the new school that he believes does an effective job of addressing the many constraints on the site.

Robert Billard This is going to be a difficult project... Going up could be a solution.

That’s when he first thought of building up.

“It was an interesting exercise. We didn’t present it, but that started the ball rolling in my mind.”

With a nine-year-old son he’d like to see attend a new school in New West and knowing how important an issue it is in his new hometown, Billard started doodling and came up with a few design ideas.

And to get the community to think outside the box he blogged about them on his firm’s website, billardarchitecture.ca.

He suggests constructing a circular-shaped school of about five or six storeys with the classrooms on the outside of the structure and a courtyard in the middle. The circular concept would retain the sustainability aspects the government looks for, with natural light

on all sides. It would also provide the required safety and security lines of sight.

The courtyard would be a gathering place for activities like assemblies, lounges and cafeterias. It could also serve as the roof of the gymnasium and other offices. In addition, Billard says there’s no reason art studios, music rooms, mechanical shops and parking couldn’t go underground because they don’t need natural light.

Billard figures his proposal would take up a footprint half the size of what the current guidelines require, reducing the risk of building on sensitive land.

“I did it because schools are close to my architectural heart, so is urban planning and so is New Westminster,” says Billard. “This is going to be a difficult project, so minimize the risks by

reducing the footprint and be surgical about it. Going up could be a solution.”

The property, however, is zoned for a maximum of four storeys, although New Westminster does have an institutional zoning

designation that allows for much higher buildings.

“I’m not quite sure what the rationale is. Guidelines evolve all the time,” says Billard. “If [building higher] provides a solution to a problem and it’s safe

then we need to think outside the box and of new ways to push the envelope. If it’s good enough for universities and hospitals and prisons, why not for schools?”

He doesn’t think

underground floors or parking would be difficult for students to handle since they’re already accustomed to experiencing them in places like Metropolis at Metrotown.

“It’s a matter of convincing the ministry that it is visible and safe,” says Billard. “Principals want to have clear lines of sight to monitor students easily and to have less places to hide and be out of view. With this concept you can see so much. You can stand in one spot and survey almost everything.”

A Ministry of Education spokesman said it’s not up to the province to decide how high a school can go because the height of any project is determined by the local government, the site consultants, the board of education and the design team.

twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

BILLARD ARCHITECTURERobert Billard’s concept for the new NWSS is for a very open, bright design. He proposes the gymnasiums could be below the courtyard gathering area with underground parking beneath that.

He cited Westminster Pier Park, Hyack Square, Anvil Centre, the new Moody Park outdoor pool, a bicycle/skateboard park in Queensborough, and the Queensborough Community Centre expansion. He also mentioned new developments that have attracted residents and business to New West.

“In fact, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people who haven’t been to New Westminster for a while say how impressed they are at how far we’ve come,” said Coté.

He praised Wright for driving the city forward. “His unbridled energy and enthusiasm for this community, and his experience

have served our city well.”Coté said if a person’s success

is defined by leaving the world a bit better than he found it then Wright has “achieved success 10 times over.” He also thanked

retiring councillor Betty McIntosh for being a strong representative for her community.

He pledged to work with council and staff to explore strategies for a transportation system that works, beginning

with implementing the master transportation plan the city adopted earlier this year.

Coté said the success of the regional transportation referendum expected to be held in 2015 will be critical to creating an efficient and sustainable transportation system.

The new mayor said New Westminster must build its economy over the next four years. “We need to recognize the importance of preserving our commercial and industrial lands while exploring new ways to build on our strengths and create new opportunities for employment and economic growth,” said Coté.

As an example, he cited the anticipated Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment as a unique opportunity to maximize economic benefits. He suggested working with Fraser Health and other stakeholders to leverage both new and future projects nearby such as the Brewery District and Sapperton Green developments.

Redevelopment of the Canada Games Pool and completing a Fraser River walkway to link the

entire waterfront to hook up to a new Quayside to Queensborough pedestrian bridge are high on his priority list.

Coté pledged to promote public art, create parklets, increase outdoor seating at cafés and restaurants, and to explore adding another artificial turf playing surface in the city.

Council, he said, will pursue affordable housing, family friendly development, more child care facilities and a reduction in the city’s carbon footprint.

“Our success depends on how well we as a council harness the ideas, passion and knowledge that rest in the hearts and minds of our residents,” Coté said.

“To do this, we will look at new ways to make it easy and convenient for residents to give feedback to council.”

To accomplish this he promised to work with city staff to have more information available online, have community forums and talk to residents at city events and festivals.

“We need to move beyond traditional forms of consultation and embrace true collaboration with our residents.”

Coté called upon the council and the community to work together, embrace the city’s spirit and build a brighter future.

“New Westminster has a long history with wonderful traditions and a past burgeoning with achievement. Over the years, we have embraced opportunity when it has presented itself and made our own opportunity when it hasn’t. It’s what has defined us for more than 150 years.”

Urban Academy wants to build expansion behind Robson Manor

Grant [email protected]

A proposed expansion of Urban Academy has drawn concerns about increased traffic headaches, decreased housing affordability and construction of a structure too big for the historical Queen’s Park neighbourhood.

Urban Academy held an open house last week to reveal to the community its plans to expand the private school to handle 450 students by 2022.

It is in the process of developing a heritage revitalization agreement with the city for its current primary school in the historic Robson Manor on Third Street across from Tipperary Park. But it has also purchased the eight-unit apartment block next door and intends to tear it down to build a 44,600-square foot expansion. However, the private school first needs city council to amend the city’s official community plan,

rezone the property and issue a development permit.

“This doesn’t make sense for the neighbourhood or for the school. It’s just such a cramped site,” said Mark Fox, who is part of a group calling itself Queen’s Park Neighbours ([email protected]).

“We’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not in the best interests of the community or the school itself to go ahead with the expansion on that site.”

Urban Academy currently has 157 students, with the grades 6 to 12 students housed in a leased space at Sixth Street and Eighth Avenue.

Fox said the school has done “a bang-up job” given the site’s limitations but the modern building will clash with the area’s heritage and will swamp it.

“To me the site coverage is just inadequate for what you want to do there,” said Fox. “[John Knox Christian School in Burnaby] has an acre of play area and .8 acre for the building, which is below the Burnaby standards but it’s way more than what’s being

proposed here.“It’s the wrong building in the

wrong place.”Gail Ancill lives two doors

down from Robson Manor. “It is quite alarming,” she said.

“It is very uncomplementary to the homes in the area, including Robson Manor, which is quite a historical property.”

Ancill has “huge concerns” about traffic and parking because 60 per cent of the students don’t live in New Westminster and another 20 per cent are city residents who don’t live in the area.

She’s concerned about the drop-off and pick-up chaos that currently exists during the rush hours and has videotaped it to prove how bad it is.

“It’s already a nightmare. I’ve almost been run over, and I’ve seen kids almost get ran over … With 45 kids it will be impossible,” said Ancill.

Susan Irwin, who lives nearby on Queen’s Avenue, said the school’s plans to use Tipperary Park for a play area are inappropriate for a public space where people seek serenity.

VICTORIA – It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory.

My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world.

The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week.

The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas production. Legal documents

were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week.

In recent years, the Nisga’a disposed of concern about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state – that’s what it is, so get used to it.

The Nisga’a have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t intend to stop there.

“We want to be part of the Canadian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation president Joe Gosnell.

The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t consulted, it’s a desecration of victims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say well-rehearsed young men with video cameras running.

Nisga’a President Mitchell Stevens has patiently and repeatedly explained that Nisga’a legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that it received the required two-thirds majority support.

Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception.

He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to

see the fruits of generations of labour.

Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature.

In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government.

And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a.

“That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.”

Nisga’a prove their critics wrong

Oh, how times have changed.It was just over 60 years

ago that work on the Trans Mountain oil pipeline was nearing completion.

The project was far from controversial.

Farmers and property owners sat down with company officials and negotiated easements, talked about mitigation, and jousted over compensation.

By May 6, 1953 the excitement was almost palpable.

“Oil to flow by September,” read a front page story in a newspaper.

The project had an estimated price tag of $97 million and would bring local employment to about 150 men. It would initially deliver 150,000 barrels of crude a day to the tank farm under construction in Burnaby. With the completion of additional pumping stations, that flow would increase to 300,000 barrels a day.

For company vice-president H. H. Anderson, construction carried an almost mythical nuance.

“There are few industrial endeavors which have captured the public’s imagination like this pipeline project,” he said.

“It has the same audacious aspects as the building of a trans-Canada railroad.”

Fast forward to 2014 and that romanticism seems hard to find.

As protests become increasingly confrontational, most of the employment is going to security officials.

To be clear, construction hasn’t even started yet. What Trans Mountain was doing on Burnaby Mountain was seeing if its plan to drill through the mountain is more feasible than following its existing right-of-way through the city’s neighbourhoods.

But the battle lines are drawn. They demonstrate the gulf

between the world view of the 1950s and the attitudes felt by a growingly militant population today.

COMMENTThe unveiling and

dedication of the Wait For Me Daddy memorial on Oct. 4 was a moving and unforgettable experience.

It was a privilege and honour to participate as one of the two veterans of the BC Regiment who marched down Eighth Street in 1940.

Your mayor, staff and officials were the most gracious hosts. We cannot praise and thank them enough.

The selection and creation of this memorial was an inspired action by the city council. Many monuments commemorate events and heroes but I’m not aware of any that give recognition to the home and family that must endure and cope with the separation that wars create. It is a sacrifice and service they perform.

And just as their men in uniform suffered wounds and casualties, homes too were hurt and broken.

The photograph gained great fame. Now, the memorial gives constant and permanent evidence of the message it so graphically portrays. New Westminster can take pride in this unique tribute of remembrance.

I married a New Westminster girl and our first child was born at the Royal Columbian Hospital.

New Westminster was a second home to us and we have many happy memories of it.

Charlie BernhardtSummerland

PICTURE A SOURCE OF FAMILY PRIDE

On Saturday, Oct. 4, I attended the celebration at Hyack Square for the unveiling of the statue Wait For Me Daddy.

Some years after the war my aunt married the soldier in the photo, Jack Bernard, so he became my uncle. My family and theirs became close during the years that followed.

The picture has always been a source of pride

for our family as well as the extended family.

In speaking to the volunteers we mentioned our connection to

Uncle Jack. They were moved by the many relatives who were present—at least 20.

I asked if I could buy a souvenir shirt as mementos for my family. Several volunteers were very helpful in trying to get us this information.

We found that this was not possible.

At the end of the celebration I was surprised, delighted and very grateful when two of the volunteers came over to where we were seated and literally took the shirts off their backs and presented them to me with the comment—these shirts are more meaningful to you than to us.

I’d like to publicly express my thanks to these two wonderful volunteers who not only made me happy

but showed the spirit of New Westminster so well.

To take over space formerly occupied by Save-On-FoodsGrant [email protected]

New Westminster will get a new grocery store in the new year that isn’t a Save-On Foods or a Safeway.

Uptown Property Group vice-president Bart Slotman said Buy-Low Foods will move into a 25,000-square-foot store in the Westminster Centre Mall

space formerly occupied by Save-On-Foods.

Buy-Low is based in Surrey and is owned by the The Jim Pattison Group, the same company that owns Overwaitea Foods and Save-On.

Although its website says it has 24 stores it only lists 18 in

B.C. and two in Alberta. Some are sprinkled throughout the Lower Mainland including two in Burnaby (Royal Oak and Rumble, and Parkcrest Plaza in North Burnaby). Others

are in small towns scattered throughout the province.

“They are in expansion mode adding two or three stores a year,” said Slotman.

“The newer stores they’ve been opening have been very good stores, very similar stores

to Save-On-Foods.”Overwaitea left the

location in early August in favour of a new store in Columbia Square, which IGA Marketplace abandoned in 2013.

It also departed after Overwaitea purchased the nearby Royal City Centre Safeway from Sobeys and converted it into a Save-On.

“It has a lower price point than Save-On and has very much a community feel and focus,” said Slotman. “We think it’s a great fit for New Westminster. We’re very excited that they’re coming into our marketplace.”

He expects the store will open in February.

“It takes time to find the right replacement tenant. But this market is a strong market,” said Slotman. “They are definitely in neighbourhood-type towns and I think it really works well in New West. I think it’ll be a good addition to our neighbourhood.”

He said there should be room for both Buy-Low and Save-On in Uptown since Safeway and Save-On both did well when operating close together.

However, a grocery store is expected to be part of a new Walmart in Royal City Centre.

Buy-Low to open in Westminster Centre

Bart Slotman, Uptown Property Group It has a lower price point than Save-On and has very much a community feel and focus. We think it’s a great fit for New Westminster.

Some tips to help make the holiday living easierWith so much on

our plates between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the holiday season can be hectic.

Fortunately, there are many ways to save time and make the holiday season more manageable.

• If you don’t have plastic clips to hang lights around windows and to the eaves of your home, inexpensive clothespins will work just as well. If you’re concerned about the color of the wooden clips, paint them holiday hues before stringing the lights.

• Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubber-side up, beneath your Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a tree skirt to hide the mat.

• Squeeze artificial tree portions into concrete form tubes. First wrap the tree portions in twine and then slip them into the concrete sleeves. Each tube can be stowed in attic or garage rafters, freeing up precious space.

• Use empty squirt bottles to make baking and cooking easier. Pancake and cookie batters can be squirted from the containers for less mess.

• Store one or two strings of lights in a plastic shopping bag to keep the strands from getting tangled. Hang the bags from a hook in a garage or stack them in a storage bin.

• Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters. They’re easy to

assemble and will not damage the bannisters.

• A paper towel holder can be screwed to the wall in a craft room to neatly hold spools of ribbon. Simply pull the length you need from the spool and cut for easy decorating.

• Mount a tree stand to a piece of wood with screws or glue. This prevents spills from reaching the floor while stabilizing the tree.

• Old maps make interesting gift wrap and are a nice change of pace from commercially produced paper or newsprint.

• Wrap duct tape or another type of sticky tape around your hand. Pat over fallen pine needles that accumulate around the tree. In hard-to-reach areas, wrap the tape around a broom or a floor sweeper.

• When traveling for the holidays, use a brightly colored suitcase or flashy tape to make your suitcase stand out from others at the airport.

• Place hardened brown sugar in a baking dish, cover it with a moist paper towel and either microwave it on high for 20-second intervals or place it in a 300 F oven for five minutes. This will soften the sugar, making it easier to use the sugar to prepare your favorite holiday cookie recipes.

• Save plastic bread ties, which can be used to make tags for the wires on certain devices. Such ties also can be used to organize decorating components and to keep your place on a roll of tape.

• Measure the inside of your picture

window and construct a wooden frame to its dimensions. Staple holiday lights to the frame and then easily slip the frame in and out of place each year.

• Hang a live wreath or some boughs of evergreen in your home to give it that fresh pine scent if you have an artificial tree.

• Color-code storage containers so you can easily find holiday decorations in the attic or basement.

• Pack for a holiday excursion using a collapsible clothing storage hanger for closets. Fold clothes on each fabric shelf and then collapse it

into your suitcase. When you get to your destination, unfold and hang it in a closet so all of your clothes will be at the ready.

Xmas tidbits to put you in the holiday spirit

The holiday season has arrived, and millions of people across the globe will be celebrating Christmas with their families and friends. The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season.

• In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.

• Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.” Individuals toasted neighbors to a long and healthy life.

• Despite the common

tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus, the Bible never specifically calls out a number. Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have occurred when Jesus was older.

• Santa Claus’ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imagery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was

published anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

• Santa has his own official postal code. It’s H0H 0H0.

• The song “Jingle Bells”

was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the lyrics were

changed to fit Christmas.

• Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999.

• Before turkey, the traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.

• Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means Santa’s reindeer are likely female.

• Christ may have been born in a cave rather than a manger. According to the gospel of Luke, the shepherds that helped find shelter for Mary to give birth kept their flock in a cave. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is built over a cave called the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born.

• Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistletoe” means in the ancient Germanic language. It literally means “dung on a twig,” for the bird who eats the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to propagate new plants.

• Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011.

It’s easy to write Santa a letter—and of course he lives in Canada.

Santa Claus is coming to town Saturday.

That’s when the Santa Claus Parade, and a whole bunch more activities, will hit Downtown New Westminster.

The annual event used to held at dusk as a parade of lights. But the city took over its operations from the Hyack Festival Association last year and decided to hold it during

the day instead. This year’s edition will set off down Columbia at 11 a.m.

But after it’s all over there will still be lots to do. The recently opened Anvil Centre will feature arts and crafts, children’s storytime, a festival of trees, and entertainment from noon to 4 p.m.

During that same four-hour block, The Shops at New

West will offer photos with Santa while the Fraser River Discovery Centre will feature A Merry Fishmas.

Over at the River Market, the Royal City Farmers Market will have a holiday edition of its bimonthly winter market from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The day-long affair’s finale will be the lighting of the big tree in Hyack Square at 4 p.m.

Santa Claus returns to Columbia Street on

Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m.

“It’s a good-sized park for the public, however if you have that significant amount of students on that small site, the volume could be a problem,” said Irwin. “I’m not here to be a grouch. I have kids myself who are grown up now … It’s not designed for playing soccer or running around.”

Betina Ali, who rents a unit at 228 Manitoba St., is upset because she believes the school is acting like it has already received the city’s blessing by issuing notices for the tenants to leave by March 31.

“They’re operating as if it’s a done deal. But to me I have a real problem with that,” said Ali. “You need to respect the community consultation process, especially after what happened with the Whitecaps. This project is contrary to our affordable housing policy because within the policy they’re trying to stop the removal of affordable housing.”

New Mayor Jonathan Coté said it’s not a done deal. He even warned the academy it had a lot of work to do in the community when the expansion plans were first submitted to council in June.

“This will probably be the first controversial project coming to council,” said Coté. “I hear a lot from the neighbourhood about some local concerns and the impacts there will be. This will probably be the first long public hearing for council.

It’s important for myself and others on council to keep an open mind.”

Head of school Cheryle Beaumont said both the open house and Urban Academy’s presentation to the Queen’s Park Residents Association on Nov. 23 went well with many supporters, although Ancill insisted that’s because many of those who showed up at the open house were parents of Urban Academy students.

The former principal of New Westminster secondary and superintendent of the Langley school district said despite Ancill’s concerns the traffic situation is “pretty

civilized.” Beaumont said parents of primary students are required to park in the Fourth Street parking lot between Tipperary Park and city hall and walk their children into the school.

“Our parents don’t park their cars on Third, or drop off on Third, and neither do those attending Qayqayt [elementary on the south side of Royal Avenue],” said Beaumont.

She said the expansion will result in older students being able to attend Urban Academy and it’s likely they’ll be able to be dropped off further away and walk to the school.

Beaumont said the expansion’s design is not intended to duplicate the look of Robson Manor and has received the approval of heritage consultant Donald Luxton and the city’s heritage and design panel advisory committees.

“It’s a contemporary foil for the building,” said Beaumont. “We’re not trying to upstage or replace or copy the heritage of Robson Manor. We’re trying to make it stand alone and not fake it or copy it.”

She insisted the school will work with the city and the apartment building tenants to relocate them in the same neighbourhood at the same price. She said the notice was only to let the tenants know the tentative deadline for them to leave is March 31.

“We just wanted to let them know in an up-front way to work with them when it’s convenient for them to move,” said Beaumont, who noted the official 60-day notice can’t be issued until Urban Academy has received all of the city approvals.

A date for public hearings on any of Urban Academy’s applications to city hall has yet to be set.

‘This will be the first controversial project coming to council’

Urban Academy has purchased the eight-unit apartment building behind Robson Manor. The above artist rendering shows the look of the building (at back) that it would like to build in its place.

SOME FACTS

The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating

between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC

since 1953.

In April 2012, we proposed to expand the

pipeline by building a second pipeline

alongside the original.

Our goal for the entire route has been to build

adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing

right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good

reasons to look at other options, such as safety

concerns, residential or industrial development that

has expanded since the original pipeline was built,

or environmental considerations.

We’ve been engaging with Aboriginal groups,

Landowners, communities and stakeholders

since April 2012. We’ve reached agreements

with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date.

The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study

the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain.

Our application is before the National Energy

Board, an independent federal agency, to

determine if the project should be approved to

proceed in Canada’s best interest. Ultimately, the

federal government will make the fi nal decision.

The National Energy Board has a recognized

process to voice concerns, ask questions

and introduce evidence for consideration.

Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have

registered to participate.

If approved to proceed, construction of the

expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would

be in operation by late 2018.

Let’s talk.

Ian AndersonPresident, Kinder Morgan Canada

You’ve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountain and our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.

I think it would be good for us to talk.

We’ve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnaby the feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain, rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.

Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of that feasibility study. Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million more than the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge the best interests of the residents of Burnaby.

We are drilling two 6-inch diameter test holes to investigate the possibility of routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain. We are being respectful of the environment, and when we are done, we will leave the mountain as healthy as we found it.

Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their work and, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public, we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite.

Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadian right to go to work and conduct business safely. We have always believed these two principles can coexist if we all communicate.

We believe we have been good neighbours for over sixty years in local communities, including the City of Burnaby, and it is very important for us to continue open relationships.

We have conducted many workshops and open houses, met with thousands of people and continue to respond to questions daily. The feedback we have received to date has made our project better and has resulted in important changes to our route.

Trans Mountain made a commitment to everyone who participated in our consultation that we would listen closely and do our best to respond to concerns.

Our work on Burnaby Mountain is part of keeping that commitment.

On behalf of all the people who work on the pipeline and project, I truly hope we can keep talking throughout the process. Your input is important to us.

We’ll be providing more opportunities for dialogue including our upcoming telephone town hall on December 3rd. Go to TransMountain.com to sign up. We welcome the opportunity to talk.

CANADA

Many other project details and information about upcoming opportunities for dialogue can be found on our website www.TransMountain.com

Committed to safety since 1953.
