Environmental group claims Port Metro Vancouver misrepresented the scale of public opposition to North Vancouver coal terminal expansion

TODD COYNES T a f f R e p O R T e R

Port Metro Vancouver is defending its decision last month to approve the doubling of coal exports through

North Vancouver’s Neptune Terminals, after environmentalists accused the Port of misrepresenting the public’s opposition to the project.

The Vancouver-based Voters Take Action on Climate Change accused the Port last week of “apparent bias” in its public engagement pro-cess, saying “it weighed comments in support of expanding coal exports more favourably than those opposed,” and called the alleged move “deeply troubling.”

Two days later, on Feb. 15, Port president Robin Silvester fired back, saying VTACC mis-understood the public engagement process,

North Van City opposes grain expansion plans

» NEWS

Council votes for alternate designs and more community engagement on the Richardson expansion

TODD COYNES T a f f R e p O R T e R

North Vancouver city coun-cil made its opposition to Richardson International’s

$120-million grain terminal expan-sion official Monday, demanding the operator address concerns about the project’s potential nega-tive impacts on the community.But Richardson spokeswoman Tracey Shelton told The Outlook Tuesday the company has done every possible study and now it’s up to Port Metro Vancouver to approve or not.

Richardson applied to the Port last October to expand its Burrard Inlet grain terminal eastward, add-ing 28 new concrete storage silos measuring a total 50 metres in height and 171 metres in width.

The growth would allow the terminal to increase its grain and oilseed capacity from three mil-lion tonnes annually to five million tonnes by 2015.

Immediately there was outcry from the single-family residential neighbourhood just north of the proposed silo wing. Among their concerns were obstructed view cor-ridors, increased pollution from grain dust, increased noise during construction and operation, and decreased property values as an end result.

Last month, Richardson offered residents some concessions in the way of dust- and noise-mitigating measures, but the Winnipeg-based company asserted it would not give any ground on the question of silo location nor on compensation for those residents most affected.

Because the Richardson facility is on Port rather than city land, and because Richardson’s application is already under review by the Port, there is little the city can do outside of making its grievances known.

Creating outdoor spaces that look (and taste) great

» COFFEE WITH

Senga Lindsay’s new book can help you create your own edible landscape

Senga Lindsay’s spacious North Vancouver yard is very tastefully designed.

An award-winning landscape architect with a background in horticulture, she has a flair for creating beautiful, colourful and stylish outdoor spaces that can also be harvested and plated — edible landscaping.

“Try these,” she says, standing inside the kitchen of her post-and-beam home, “they are kale chips.”

The kale is from her winter garden. Kale, she notes, is the ultimate “bomb-proof

edible” in this climate.The crunchy chips are healthy and easy to

prepare, she explains. She used a dash of chil-li powder, sea salt and olive oil and then put the kale in the oven on a sheet of tinfoil.

A big proponent of healthy eating, much of the food Lindsay eats is grown in her own garden.

In the summer, her yard boasts climb-ing vines replete with kiwis and grapes, Columnar apple trees, fruit-bearing shrubs, pots filled with herbs, eggplants, zucchinis, assorted lettuces, tomatoes and more.

Today for lunch she’s serving ratatouille, a delicious traditional French stewed vegetable dish. It will be served on a bed of quinoa — “the only plant that is a complete protein,” she says.

Forget about the 100-mile diet. This is the 10-foot diet.

In the warm season, Lindsay can just walk out to her garden and pick all the ingredients she needs for this dish right from her own edible landscape.

Now, she’s sharing her 25 years of experi-ence in landscape design and horticulture and helping oth-ers transform their outdoor spaces with her new book Edible Landscaping: Urban Food Gardens that Look Great.

“It’s a design book to inspire and [it] gives tech-nical information,” Lindsay says.

With chapters that range from the Edible Rooftop and Herb Garden to the Community Garden, Gourmet Garden Kitchen and the Edible Wall, to name a few, she offers a plethora of different garden-style ideas for all sorts of spaces, from backyards to balconies.

Best of all, it also offers straightforward design specs, lots of pictures and valuable tips on choosing and growing veggies and fruits.

Thinking about growing lettuce? “A good choice for a shady garden, Swiss chard is a designer’s, horticulturalist’s and chef ’s dream. In terms of pests and diseases, very little can go wrong with this vigorous ‘cut-and-come-again’ plant,” she writes. “Vibrant white, red, yellow and even purple stalks have been bred into a variety of cultivates that you can use to accent your ornamental containers, flower border or that special culinary dish.”

Before you start planting your edible land-scape, she has this advice:

“The biggest thing is to start small.”She always suggests starting with a four-

foot by four-foot area “and then you can expand.”

If you’ve got kids, she offers tons of fun ideas in the book.

“Rule of thumb is to give them some space and let them do what they want,” Lindsay says.

One idea is to create a “pizza garden” in the shape of pie that’s divided into individual slices that each offer separate growing zones

for different toppings, like Margherita tomatoes, peppers and basil, for instance.

With youngsters, she notes, it helps to give them instant growing gratification with veggies like radishes or car-rots that they can crunch on right away.

“They get the connection that if you plant it you can eat it.”

—Senga Lindsay will present “Seven Edible Garden Ideas to Inspire” at the BC Home & Garden Show at BC Place this Sunday (Feb. 24) starting at 1 p.m. After, she will signing copies of her book and answering questions.

which is neither a democratic vote nor a popu-larity contest.

“Fundamentally, it’s not a voting process by the number of letters received,” Silvester told The Outlook in a phone interview Friday. “It’s a very thorough, robust technical assessment pro-cess. We seek public input and we look at the content of the input, not the number or types of letters.”

The conflict arose after more than 1,000 let-ters and emails were collected as part of the Port’s public consultation, each expressing either support or opposition to the Neptune expansion.

The majority of those — 640 letters in all — opposed the coal expansion, including 378 cop-ies of five different form letters which circulated around the community and were forwarded by residents to the Port.

On the pro-expansion side, the Port received only 375 letters, a full 360 of which were copies of just one form letter, all sent on January 16th, one week before the Port released its decision.

While there’s nothing offside about the use of form letters in Port public engagements, VTACC took issue with how the federal author-ity characterized the anti-coal correspondence in its Jan. 23 rationale for approving the expan-sion.

“Port Metro Vancouver received approxi-mately 375 emails and letters expressing gen-eral support for trading coal,” the Port wrote. “Port Metro Vancouver also received more than 640 emails and letters (with the vast majority of those being form letters) expressing general concerns about the possible broader environ-

mental and health impacts of coal,” the report continued.

Where the misrepresentation arises, accord-ing to VTACC, is with the claim that 378 of the 640 letters opposing the expansion constitutes a “vast majority,” while the fact that 360 of the 375 letters of support were also form letters, though this didn’t get a mention in the report.

In fact, if all duplicate letters are excluded from the written consultation, the Port would have only received 16 letters of support and 267 opposed to the project.

“We probably could have phrased some of those things more clearly,” Silvester admitted to The Outlook. However, he stopped short of claiming any error or deliberate misrepresenta-tion, saying, “I haven’t seen anything that I’d say is incorrect.”

That hasn’t stopped VTACC from calling on the Port to scrap its Neptune approval and begin a “transparent” public review, “given this suggestion of bias on the part of the Port.”

The Neptune expansion will allow the North Vancouver terminals to double their coal-han-dling capacity from nine million tonnes annu-ally to 18 million, with construction expected to begin next year.

“We’re very confident that it’s been a good process and that it’s the right decision,” Silvester said.

In the latest development between the two groups, on Feb. 19, VTACC director Kevin Washbrook submitted his name — along with more than 400 endorsements — for a newly vacated seat on the Port’s board of directors.

Washbrook said his campaign will seek to bring a more transparent, accountable and pub-licly engaged Port authority to Metro Vancouver.

pink shirt on the first day of school. The next day they bought 50 pink tank tops from a discount store and hauled them to school for all the boys to wear.

Now, on the other side of the country, schools in North and West Van are bringing attention to bullying, a topic that was once overlooked all too often as “just kids being kids.”

“The fact that no one knew about [the flashmob] helps raise awareness. People can tell their friends what happened, and they can search for the video,” says Grade 7 student Meryl Stevens before the assembly at Gle-neagles.

Almost every hand was raised when the students were asked if they had been bullied some time in the past. It turns out, it doesn’t matter how “cool” you are; anyone is vulner-able to aggressive behaviour.

“After you learn more, you don’t see it as people just being mean, you see it as bullying,” says Anna Gouthro, another Grade 7 student.

This sentiment is shared by Norgate elementary staff who want to show bullying doesn’t have to be a part of growing up.

Last year some students bought T-shirts with anti-bullying slogans, but this time their CUPE Union stepped in with a dona-tion so everyone could afford one.

“It’s great to get all the kids involved so the meaning really sticks with them,” says Bourassa. “This year they’ve really gotten into it. Look at how much effort they’ve put in.”

The solution In a community-wide effort to combat bul-

lying, North Shore educators are looking at solutions to end aggressive behaviour.

“Children are not born as bullies,” explains Sandra-Lynn Shortall, West Vancouver’s

district principal of early learning. “They’re born into environments that can cause this.”

Speaking on behalf of West Van Child and Family Hub, an organization that supports families with young children, Shortall says the goal is for families to raise caring chil-dren.

“It’s not OK to label a child a bully. It’s never that straightforward,” she tells The Outlook, noting behaviour that seems aggres-

sive can actually be part of normal devel-opment.

For example, it’s natural for preschool-ers to bump and push while learning about personal space, she says, so adults need to teach children how to behave instead of labeling them as bullies.

Instead of opting for quick solutions for students with aggressive behaviour such as suspension, Shortall says it’s important to deal with each situation thoroughly.

“My greatest heart-ache, personally, is to see that labels do carry.”

Educators in North Vancouver are taking a similar approach through social-emotional learning, a process of developing

sympathy for others to help maintain posi-tive relationships.

“We’re teaching students about how their behavior affects the sense of belonging of others,” says Vincent White, a councillor at Sutherland secondary.

The concept of “belonging,” where each child feels safe and welcome at school, is cen-tral to how the district tackles bullying.

“It’s a complex issue,” says White. “There isn’t one answer and it will be an ongoing discussion we’re having with students.”

At Gleneagles and Norgate elementary, the answer might lie in coming together as tight-knit schools where both teachers and students close the book on bullying.

A tsunami of caring North Shore students turn into a sea of pink for Pink Shirt Day

» COVER STORY

“Think pink so bullies don’t stink”“Be a friend not a bully”“Leave bullying to bulls, become human”“The end of bullying begins with us”

These are some of the creative slogans a Grade 4/5 split class at Norgate elementary came up with for Pink Shirt Day, a national campaign to put an end to bullying.

Every student from kindergarten to Grade 7 carefully penned sayings on pink T-shirts that will be worn for the annual event on Feb. 27.

“It is one thing to wear a bought T-shirt with a ready-made logo and another to design thoughtful expressions of our feelings,” says Fran Bourassa, the school’s community educa-tion facilitator.

In another classroom, the motto “Somebody loves you,” is written inside big sparkly red hearts, an homage to one of the second and third graders’ favourite books about the effects of bullying.

Walking from class to class, Bourassa notes many students added personalized touches to the T-shirts they will wear to a school-wide meeting on Pink Shirt Day.

The event will be “a sea of pink, a veritable tsunami of caring,” says Bourassa, proudly examining her students’ creations.

Other classrooms across the North Shore are also getting creative.

Over at Gleneagles elementary in Horse-shoe Bay, a flash mob recently stormed an

assembly. Wearing pink T-shirts, the Grade 6 and 7 students ran to the front of the gym to surprise their younger audience with a choreo-graphed routine to “What Makes You Beauti-ful” by hit tween band One Direction.

Used to performing for much bigger crowds, they weren’t nervous among their teachers and peers.

Last month the classes joined 16 other schools in the Lower Mainland in an anti-bul-lying flash mob at a Vancouver Giants game. During the second intermission the elementa-ry and high school students drew the crowd’s attention by taking off their jackets to reveal T-shirts with one simple word, “Acceptance.”

Social media lit up after the energetic dance, with One Direction’s Liam Payne tweeting his support.

“We practised the dance for a month, the choreography wasn’t easy,” says their teacher Suzanne Fulton, who helped organize the flashmob with colleague Laura McLachlan. “One useful way we’re helping stop bullying is by raising awareness through social media.”

pink shirt on the first day of school. The next day they bought 50 pink tank tops from a discount store and hauled them to school for all the boys to wear.

Now, on the other side of the country, schools in North and West Van are bringing attention to bullying, a topic that was once overlooked all too often as “just kids being kids.”

“The fact that no one knew about [the flashmob] helps raise awareness. People can tell their friends what happened, and they can search for the video,” says Grade 7 student Meryl Stevens before the assembly at Gle-neagles.

Almost every hand was raised when the students were asked if they had been bullied some time in the past. It turns out, it doesn’t matter how “cool” you are; anyone is vulner-able to aggressive behaviour.

“After you learn more, you don’t see it as people just being mean, you see it as bullying,” says Anna Gouthro, another Grade 7 student.

This sentiment is shared by Norgate elementary staff who want to show bullying doesn’t have to be a part of growing up.

Last year some students bought T-shirts with anti-bullying slogans, but this time their CUPE Union stepped in with a dona-tion so everyone could afford one.

North Van company has unique solution for wine storage

» WINE

MICHAELA GARSTINS t A f f R E p o R t E R

A home cellar is ideal for committed wine collectors, but having

this luxury isn’t always pos-sible. Sometimes their houses aren’t big enough, they’re in the middle of moving, the cost isn’t in the budget or their collections are simply too big.

That’s where North Shore Wine Lockers steps in, a temperature and humidity controlled facility that safely stores bottles.

“We have one person who moved from a big house down to a small house. He stores around 1,000 bottles with us,” says owner Gary Bombay as he walks beside cases of wine stacked high in the lockers.

In one corner, wooden cases of French wine belonging to a collector are stacked on a pallet. He’s letting them age before choosing the best time to sell.

Finding places to store wine is becoming an increasing problem for some North Shore residents who want their bottles to age properly, says Bombay, adding the lockers are ideal environments with a con-stant 14 C temperature, 60- to 75-percent humidity, no vibra-

tion and low light. Noticing that no one was

offering wine storage in North or West Vancouver, he teamed up with Barry McNabb, owner of Vancouver-based Winestain Club, to open North Shore Wine Lockers last spring.

“We rented to a person who tore down their house and needed to store their wine while they built a new one,” says Bombay. “When they were done, we built a wine cellar in their house.”

Bombay also owns Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, another business located in the same building, which builds custom and modular wine cellars on the North Shore.

“We do this a lot — store wine for people while we built their wine cellars,” he says, standing beside a wine cabi-net made of stained wood that looks more like a piece of fur-niture.

For serious wine collectors, storing high-priced bottles in a spare bedroom can diminish their value quickly. Wine clubs and restaurants with excess inventory have also stored their wine with him.

“I got into the wine busi-ness partly because of the demographics right now,” says Bombay. “There are a lot of affluent babyboomers who are healthier and living longer than ever before. They’re get-ting into wine and hosting din-ner parties.”

North Shore Wine Lockers is located at 1621 Welsh St. near Pemberton Ave. in North Van. Lockers store between 20 and 200 cases with rates starting at $75 a month.

Large art gallery among West Van’s best kept secrets Hundreds of eclectic paintings hang in the halls of Hollyburn Country Club

» ARTS

MICHAELA GARSTINS t A f f R E p o R t E R

One of the North Shore’s largest art gal-leries is in a very unlikely place.

With paintings from the likes of Warren Goodman, Rose-Marie Goodwin, Lori McPhee and other acclaimed artists, Hollyburn Country Club’s collection is well known among members but hasn’t been wide-ly discovered — yet.

In the lobby, October Aspens, a signature Goodman painting of trees at the peak of fall, is hung beside other work from the North Shore artist. Hundreds of others, including Deryk Houston’s vivid landscapes and Sandra Harris’s West Coast scenes, adorn nearly every hallway.

Unlike some other galleries, admission is free. Non-members can sign in at the club’s front desk.

“The whole place used to be made of cin-derblock and had low ceilings. I thought a bit of art would make it look much better,” says Hollyburn’s art director Lisa Wolfin, who approached the club directly with the idea.

An artist herself, Wolfin has a keen eye for up-and-coming artists and has formed a rela-tionship with the North Shore’s creative com-munity.

The artists are displayed for around two months but longer if their paintings sell.

As Wolfin leads the tour, a club member asks for more information about Rising to the Top, a tall 48”x96” texturized painting of ever-green trees by Lori McPhee.

As luck has it, the artist is on site, dropping off Parlor Grand, a commissioned close-up of

piano keys a member asked for after seeing a similar one that had recently sold.

“Hollyburn has made it possible for artists to connect with collectors, which is such a great gift,” says the former North Shore art-ist.

McPhee used a crackling technique she dis-covered by accident to create the texture of bark on her West Coast-style trees in Rising to the Top. It’s her largest work exhibited at Hollyburn, and one that shows off her tech-nique of using palette knives along with brushes.

With dozens of paintings showcased, McPhee has an eclectic style, from jazz musi-cians to Tuscan landscapes to abstract flow-ers.

“There’s something for everyone, but still people see my work and know it’s mine,” she says, lifting the large canvas from the wall.

“I would get bored doing the same series. I have so much inside me I need to get it out,” she says energetically as a passerby inquires after another copy of Parlor Grand.

“A lot of people really like this one. I could see it hanging beside their grand piano.”

Wolfin makes a deliberate attempt to show-case North Shore artists and has an extensive list of 200 that continues to grow.

Since Hollyburn’s art continually changes, she says, collectors will visit several times a year.

“Members like coming here to see the work,” she says, walking through hall after hall of art. “They don’t have to drive down-town and look for parking anymore.”

Hollyburn Country Club is located at 950 Cross Creek Rd. near the 15th Street exit on the Upper Levels Highway in West Vancouver. To see more of McPhee’s art go to lorimcphee.com.

Help Stop Bullying!!Support Pink Shirt Day

Wednesday, February 27th

Bullying comes in all forms:

▪ Verbal bullying

▪ Social bullying

▪ Physical bullying

▪ Cyber bullying

CKNW ORPHANS’ FUND

PRESENTED BY:2013

Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday

Feb 27th2013

Help put a stop to bullying. Wear the shirt. Be the difference.

Make some noise against bullying!

It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student. David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his first day of school.They decided they should do something about it and bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.”It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfitted with the discount shirts, but even better, hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe.The bullies were reportedly never heard from again.This year, Feb. 27 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Cana-da, an annual anti-bullying event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign.The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever say those involved in the pink event, including lo-cal radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and London Drugs, where people can buy the official pink shirts for 2013.“Awareness of what bullying is and understanding that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver presi-dent and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell.

“It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to everyone, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.”According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study published in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying.It is important to recognize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bully-ing), says Tuckwell.

“By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commitment, to not let bullying happen,” she says.Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is secondary to raising awareness about bullying and getting people involved.

B.C. is no stranger to tragedy related to bullying. From Surrey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nastoh, who jumped off the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blaming the constant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, to Port Coquitlam’s Amanda Todd, 15, who killed herself after post-ing a video on YouTube talking about her experiences with cyber bullying, there are countless told and untold stories that remain horrific.The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco.Net proceeds benefit the CKNW Orphans Fund in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC.The Boys and Girls Clubs offer programs that foster self-esteem, social engagement, academic success, inclusion, acceptance, re-spect for self and others, and connection to community. The CKNW Orphans Fund is committed to enhancing the lives of children with physical, mental and social challenges living in BC communities. The fund includes children who are bullied under the scope of the fund’s work, because these children will need extra support for their development.

WEST VANCOUVER DISTRICT NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT LIONS BAY FIRE RESCUENORTH VANCOUVER CITY

Be part of the Solution- not part of the Problem

Your North Shore Fire Departments

are proud to support National Pink Shirt Day.


fire and grain-dust explosion at the facility — then known as the Burrard Terminal Elevator — tragically killed five employees. Spurred on to do some-thing to prevent the future eastward expansion of the terminal at that time, the city introduced a new zoning cat-egory known as M-2A, or Grain Elevator Industrial Zone.

This new zone marked the borders of the modern Richardson terminal, cutting it off from the M-2 General Industrial Zone to the east, precisely where Richardson wants to expand today.

According to a city staff report, this was done to “prevent, control or, at least, indicate that an eastward expansion of Pioneer Grain Terminal (as it was then known) was not the City’s preference.”

That special zoning, however, will be overruled by the Port if it approves the Richardson expansion, breaking an exist-ing Memorandum of Understanding on permits and inspections between the Port and the City.

“It’s something that is frustrating because it is beyond our control, yet we have a duty of responsibility to speak up on behalf of the residents that we know will be adversely affected by this,” Coun. Don Bell told council. “This [terminal] has been here 80 years and the chang-es that are made now will be here for another 80 years, so we need to act now before it’s too late.”

Agreement among council was unani-mous, though Coun. Rod Clark was absent.

“When there’s a certain tone-deaf-ness with Richardson and Port Metro Vancouver over this development, it simply makes the job harder for future Port activities to proceed,” Coun. Craig Keating said. “I think we’re in the dan-gerous situation where the Richardson application is burning up a lot of social capital and goodwill, needlessly.”

One alternative popular with neigh-bourhood residents and, by extension, council, would see the new silos built south of the existing ones, on a platform

over the water. While this option would satisfy the majority of North Van’s con-cerns around noise, views and dust, Richardson said the option is a non-starter.

“Building on the water is the most complex option,” Shelton said, noting that it would require reclaiming land, moving the terminal’s existing shipping berth and closing the terminal during construction.

“That’s just not an option for us to have our facility closed,” she said.

“Ultimately it’s up to Port Metro Vancouver to make a decision.”

Commenting on that process, the Port’s director of planning and development Jim Crandles told The Outlook that a draft of the City’s recent concerns will be considered in the Port’s eventual deci-sion. “We don’t think additional study is required at this point in time,” Crandles said. “But we’re going to wait until we receive the formal request from the City to better understand the nature of what they think is missing.”

joInIng ThE fIRE flEET - Normally when you think of fire department vehicles you think of big red behemoths. Well not anymore. District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services has added two new low-emission vehicles to its fleet, a Toyota Hybrid Prius C and a Prius V. The vehicles will be used by the fire prevention and pubic education divisions and replace two vans. The switch to more environmentally friendly vehicles will result in lower operational and maintenance costs. Submitted photo

car2go coming to North Van

The car-sharing network car2go is expanding to North Vancouver.

Starting Feb. 22, car2go, which launched in Vancouver two years ago, will add 50 additional smart fortwo vehicles to its net-work and expand its existing operating area to include the City of North Vancouver.

“The City of North Vancouver is very pleased to welcome car2go as a new business in our community,” said CNV Mayor Darrell Mussatto in a release. “I applaud their com-mitment to providing our residents with a sustainable transportation option through this car-sharing program.”

With the expanded boundaries, car2go’s net-work now includes 82 square kilometres with free curbside and dedicated parking spots located throughout.

To learn more about the upcoming launch event in North Van on March 2 and 3, follow @car2goVancouver on Twitter or become a fan of car2go on Facebook at www.facebook.com/car2go.Vancouver.
