Aggressive timeline charted to prepare cost case for treasuryGrant Grangernewwestnewsleader.com
The Ministry of Education has agreed to replace New Westminster secondary and has set out a timeline to move the project forward.
In a letter to the school district, deputy minister Dave Byng wrote the province has agreed to build a school with a capacity of 1,900
students on its existing site taking into account the areas designated as being a historic cemetery.
The ministry has also given the school a top priority seismic risk ranking which could be a source of funds to build a new school, currently costed at $110 million.
Board of education chair Jonina Campbell said the letter is the result of the district asking the ministry to put down in writing that New Westminster will be getting a
new secondary school, and what needs to be done by the district to
make it happen. She said the district didn’t want any future surprises.
“This is a clear message that we’re on the same page,” said Campbell in a media briefing Monday. “We can show the community in a
clear manner what we have to do.”She said the letter should put to
rest fears the province planned to renovate the current structure rather
than build a new one.“The minister (Peter Fassbender)
is well aware this is a long overdue project. He is committed to moving this forward. It’s a common understanding of the work we need to do and that it’s going to get done,” said Campbell. “He said to me, ‘Let’s build this school.’ ”
The letter sets out six things the district needs to do for the project to be taken to the provincial treasury board.

The Vancouver Whitecaps development team that was supposed to be based at Queen’s Park Stadium has found another playpen at the University of British Columbia.
After being spurned by New Westminster council in September, the Whitecaps announced Friday that Whitecaps FC2 will play at UBC’s David Sidoo Field at Thunderbird Stadium.
UBC is where the Whitecaps training facility is located.
In early July, the Whitecaps and New Westminster announced a memorandum of understanding to have the team’s games played in Queen’s Park. A final decision was needed by Sept. 15 in order for the team to begin play in the USL-Pro League by March. But city council voted against it because the eventual costs to the city to accommodate the Whitecaps, including increasing capacity to 3,000, was expected to be $11.4 million.
One of the reasons the Whitecaps wanted the team play in New West was because it would be a central location for its fans. There is speculation the team might eventually end up in Surrey or Coquitlam.

Xmas in Sapperton
Sapperton businesses have created an evening of family fun and celebration for the neighbourhood. It will be held in the 400 block of East Columbia on Wednesday, Dec. 3, between 5 and 9 p.m. It will feature Santa Claus, carolers, hot apple cider, hot chocolate, festival nibbles and late-night shopping.
Culture, on the map
New Westminster is getting a digital cultural map. Douglas College, the Arts Council of New Westminster and the city have partnered on a comprehensive inventory of New West’s arts, culture and heritage assets.
It will provide information on individual artists and heritage sites as well as provide historical stories about the Royal City. The map will be interactive and can be easily updated. To use the map go to www.newwestculturalmap.ca, download the free software and then search through the city’s cultural assets.

As an esthetician Clara Kovats likes to make people feel good, but sometimes she would get discouraged at not achieving her objective.
Kovats, who operates Urban Bliss Spa in the back of Sapperton’s Cadeaux Gifts, had several clients dismayed about hair loss due to medical conditions or chemotherapy. Others had undergone mastectomies and wanted to have nipples again just so they could look normal.
“There’s a lot of stories that come through my door. Some of them are sad, some of them are glad, some of them are life-changing stories,” says Kovats.
She took it to heart one day when one long-time client, a woman in her early sixties, was frustrated her eyebrows were disappearing. Kovats considered adding cosmetic tattooing, sometimes called micropigmentation or permanent makeup, to the services she offers.
Cosmetic tattooing allows estheticians to draw
permanent eyebrows, eyeliners, lips and nipples.
Kovats took the courses to add those skills to her repertoire earlier this year and that long-time client was first in line to get new eyebrows.
“It’s given her such a relief that she can wake up in the morning and see herself
as normal again,” says Kovats, who was invited to be an esthetician at the 2012 Oscar awards by one of her suppliers. “Those little things can affect a person. Me being able to give her her eyebrows back has made her extremely happy.”
Adjhuené Hood, who works at Cadeaux, had
been looking into getting tattooing for her eyebrows for a couple of years. Her eyebrows were thick enough when she was a teenager, but over time they’ve thinned out. Then she heard Kovats was about to do the course.
“I was so excited,” says Hood.
“I was nervous about
getting it done because somebody is tattooing your face. I wanted someone I could trust so I didn’t come out looking like a clown.
“[Eyebrows are] a focal point of your face. When you talk to people the first thing is they look at your eyes and the eyebrows just frame your face so you feel self-conscious [about not having them].”
Kovats says hormonal changes during menopause can really do a number on women. “It’s when we start losing hair where we want it and growing hair in places we don’t like it,” she jokes.
It’s not possible to re-create nipples during mastectomies, which can be disheartening, says Kovats. “You look like Barbie without nipples. You want to try and feel as normal as possible.”
But Kovats can tattoo a nipple for them. She says she’d like to expand her skill range to include using tattooing to camouflage scars to make it look like normal skin.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTEDClara Kovats has found there is a strong demand for cosmetic tattooing, as a way to address everything from thinning eyebrows as we age to changes resulting from chemotherapy or mastectomies.
Tattooing the way to better confidence
Much of it is work the district has already begun or nearly completed.
The province wants to know by Dec. 1 what the district’s plans are for the Neighbourhoood Learning Centre portion of the project. Campbell said that space would include a new Massey Theatre, the UBC counselling centre and a welcoming centre for immigrants and refugees.
The district has to get an independent assessment
by Dec. 8 on what’s the best way to build a replacement school. The two most common methods are design-build and design-bid project. Qayqayt elementary—which opened in September—and Fraser River Middle School—expected to open in September 2015—are design-build projects where one company was awarded the contract to design and build the schools.
By Dec. 15 it must produce a summary of all
the money spent so far on the three projects to see if there’s any leftover cash the province could use for a new NWSS. The province wants the district to determine by the end of the year what the reasonable risks would be on the project given the issues of a previous cemetery and soil conditions.
Campbell said the projected risks would be included in the project’s budget. The best educated guess by district superintendent/CEO John
Gaiptman is the school could cost $110 million.
The ministry asked the district to hire someone to work out the budgets for the various options being considered by Jan. 31, 2015.
And finally, it wants a report by Feb. 21 on all the options, their scope and budgets. Campbell said once all those reports are submitted, the ministry can take them to the provincial treasury board so a project agreement can be completed.
Facilities manager Doug Templeton said despite the project being the most complicated project the province has contemplated building, companies are lining up to take it on.
Replacing NWSS has been in the works in excess of a decade and was a top issue in the recent civic election. Given its history, Campbell wasn’t willing to promise the city will have a new high school by the next time city voters visit the ballot box in 2018.
Project risks would be included in budget⫸ continued from FRONT PAGE

To receive $5,000 for new playground when it looked like project would get doubleGrant [email protected]
The campaign to get funding for a climbing wall at Qayqayt elementary took a slight tumble this week.
The new school’s parent advisory council (PAC) was on track to claim $10,000 in the CST Inspired Minds contest. During the daily online voting, Qayqayt consistently ranked third. The first prize, $20,000, seemed out of reach, but second to fourth place finishers get $10,000.
But when organizer Ronda Field woke up Monday morning, deadline day, she was dismayed to discover Qayqayt had dropped to fifth. A panic plea a half hour before the 9 a.m. deadline appears to have been too little too late.
Fifth place, however, means $5,000 for the playground project that includes building a climbing wall on the school’s retaining wall.
“It’s better than nothing,” said Field of the $5,000.
“The most disappointing thing for me with these campaigns is we’ve had little buy-in from the parents in the school. There are 500 kids in the school and we should be getting 500 votes a day from them. There are friends all across the country voting for this, and from outside the school. But the most affected aren’t as involved. That’s disappointing.”
Although the $5,000 helps, it still leaves the PAC about $100,000 short, she said.
“Just the one slide we’re missing from phase one [of the playground] is $10,000,” said Field. “That’s not even including installation or taxes and all that stuff. It is an ongoing battle. We were going to put the CST money toward turning the brick retaining wall
into a rubberized surfacing, but it’s prohibitively expensive.”
The PAC has been vigorously fundraising for the playground ever since it was announced the school was being built to replace John Robson elementary. The construction budget, however, does not include money for a new playground.
“It’s discouraging that although there’s all this evidence that physical activity is necessary for learning, and for health and development, that it’s not a priority for the ministry [of education],” said Field. “It’s particularly discouraging that we’re considered a replacement school even though we’re two kilometres away from our previous school and we couldn’t have moved the playground.”
The project has once again entered the Aviva Community Fund contest which produced $5,000 for Qayqayt in June.
Online voting to determine its finalists runs Dec. 1 to 10 with judges making the final decisions.
“We really need to get everybody on board.”

TESTIMONIAL:In the spring of 2014 we had an opportunity to transfer out of the Lower Mainland for work. We had seen houses for sale in the Port Royal area and Matt Brabbins’ sign and advertising caught our eye. We met with Matt and found him personable, open and honest with us about how he works and what he could do for us. Matt worked tirelessly for us until the day he sold our house - he was always available by phone, text or email and if he could not be, he made sure someone from his of� ce was. We loved our experience in working with Matt - it made a very busy time of our lives a lot less stressful. We would use Matt again in a heartbeat - now we just have to convince him to move to the North and start up an of� ce here!

In southern British Columbia, we have a potential environmental disaster on the horizon.
A direct transfer coal terminal is planned for Surrey on the banks of the Fraser River. Trains carrying coal from the U.S. will dump their loads at this terminal, to be loaded on to barges.
The barges will be towed down the river and along the coast for transfer to freighters at Texada Island. The ships are destined for far-eastern buyers.
This coal is mined from seams up to 100 feet thick in the Powder River Basin deposits in Wyoming, where 388 million tons of low-sulfur thermal coal was produced in 2012 for electricity-producing coal-fired furnaces in the United States and around the world. One hundred trains composed of up to 150 hopper cars per day, each over half a mile long move this coal out of the basin.
BNSF Railway estimates that five to 32 tons of coal dust and chunks are deposited on the landscape on a 400-mile trip. Although the use of coal to
produce electricity has declined in recent years in the U.S. due to stricter air-quality standards and the conversion of many electric plants to natural gas, China continues to burn massive amounts in its coal-fired plants.
Powder River coal coming into B.C. for export is carried on the BNSF line from Wyoming, through southwestern Montana, northern Idaho, into Washington, then up the I-5 corridor into B.C.
A total of 320 trains per year are planned, resulting in twice that many barge trips.
The BNSF railway is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, a U.S. company.
Development of Fraser Surrey Docks facility has received the go ahead from Port Metro Vancouver, which is the federal overseer for terminal operations.
This despite considerable local opposition from environmental groups, First Nation leaders, and most of the directors of Metro Vancouver. Nearby communities adjacent are especially concerned about the various environmental and health problems. Procedures at Fraser Surrey Docks will involve unloading the rail cars onto covered conveyor systems, and/or storage pits or enclosures. Loading of barges is similarly by conveyor system. FSD also proposes installation of dust suppression systems and installation of equipment for treatment and disposal of any wastewater produced.
As a result of PMV concerns, original plans for emergency coal stockpiling have been eliminated, and dust-suppression procedures are planned for the trains halfway between the mine and the terminal and immediately prior to barge transfer.
FSD and PMV have gone to considerable expense in attempts to allay the fears with regards to human health hazards and environmental damage, through the contracting of presumably
neutral consultants. Even if all these assurances are believed and FSD can be relied on to follow through with its proposed safe practices, there will be damage. Coal dust will escape into the air and water, and will be consumed in varying degrees by the populace, land and marine animals, and fish in the Fraser and along the coast.
So, U.S. coal will be carried on U.S. trains and French-owned barges involving an Australian-owned Fraser Surrey Docks Terminal and the French-owned Texada Island Transfer Terminal, eventually to be burned by non-Canadian users in the Orient.
What does Canada and B.C. get out of the arrangement? At best, about a hundred jobs. At worst, a whole mess of pollution and future health problems.
Am I missing something, or is this as bad a deal as it appears?

Clean coal is an oxymoron
Many Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many stores at local malls are U.S.-based chain stores anyways—really, what difference does it make?
Truth is, taking your hard-earned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why: jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. Spend in Washington, you’re keeping Americans employed, and that’s a good thing—for Americans.
But your neighbours here need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids, and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social welfare safety net, including health care, intact.
If that doesn’t convince you to shop local, here are a few more reasons:
• Shopping diversity: Small business owners offer unique products that you can’t get anywhere else and our marketplace would be poorer without them. Instead of heading south to shop and spending all that money on gas and food, check out one of the many local gift shops. By shopping at these small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood.
• Price check: Some products in the U.S. are cheaper but many others, such as electronics, for example, are basically the same price in the Lower Mainland.
Other issues to consider are the environmental benefits of driving less and keeping your carbon footprint small. Not only will you put your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community, you won’t have to sit in a border lineup.
Now that sounds like a good deal.

COMMENTI recently visited the museum
at the New Westminster Anvil Centre to see the temporary exhibition by internationally acknowledged artist Ken Lum.
The artist’s thoughtful work moved me and it brings credit to the Anvil. The Chinese characters in primary colours and black-and-white seen as one leaves the SkyTrain station are especially engaging and in the spirit of all inclusiveness. A beautiful introduction to the centre, and to Mr. Lum’s exhibition.
Inside, unfortunately, there was no signage or other information to lead the viewer to find where the art work is displayed.
Especially confusing was the door with the warning of the dangers of “harmful” ultraviolet light but nothing to suggest part of the exhibition is through the door. Like cows at a new gate, a few of us read the sign then walked away.
There was nothing to invite us through. We would not have entered the room except for
a couple of gentlemen who knew the exhibition continued on the other side. There was also little or no information in other displays, most notably the case including First Nations artifacts, which confuses the original tribal name “Skaiamatl” with the name of the native town, Qayqayt. And stone artifacts which are questionable provenance, but there is no explanation.
Robert McNealyNew Westminster
Let’s Focus on the Living
First of all there should be no School District 40, we should be part of district 41 (Burnaby). Think of the money saved that could go to our teaching staff.
Both Byrne Creek and NWSS serve both sides of the border as it is.
We obviously don’t have a good relationship with the province, otherwise NWSS would not be in the condition that it is.
Nor would it still be standing.
The new one would have been built 10 years ago. The money we borrowed for the Anvil Centre would have been better spent towards a new school since we are paying for either anyway.
For those that have a short memory span or weren’t in New West, the high school was going have its first class graduate from the new school in 2004.
And does anybody really care that there might be a bone or two in what may or may not have been a properly decommissioned graveyard?
It’s a parking lot now! Put up a marker and call it
even. You know, like the ones you see along the highway—point of interest ahead.

Briefs
FRDC exhibit nets awardThe Fraser River Discovery
Centre has received an Award of Merit from the BC Museums Association for its “My River My Home” exhibit.
The exhibit, which opened in September 2013, features children’s artwork from around the world as part of a collaborative research project between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the University of the Fraser Valley. The project studied the ecosystems of some of the world’s great rivers, including the Fraser.
“The BC Museums Association is delighted to recognize institutions and individuals who have exemplified excellence in creativity, community engagement and innovation,” said Peter Ord, the BCMA’s president.
The City of Burnaby and Burnaby Village Museum were also recipients of a corporate service award for their free admission initiative that boosted attendance at the historical recreation of elements of the city from the 1920s.
Pet photo fundraiser at Bosley’s
Want a cute picture of your pet in time for Christmas? Then head to Bosley’s Pet Food Plus in Columbia Square on Sunday, Dec. 7.
That’s when Bosley’s will hold its annual holiday pet photos event to benefit the New Westminster animal shelter. Photos will be taken by Sam Chua Photography for a $10 donation. It will run from 1 to 4 p.m.
At the same time, a pet food bank will also collect food, treats, toys and new or gently used accessories for pets.
Art show focuses on vinyl album art
An art show celebrating record album covers will have its opening reception at New Westminster’s Anvil Centre community art space Thursday.
Cover Story: Album Art Reimagined is an exhibition that explores the art of album design. Twenty-two artists have created their own versions of album covers much of it from 1970s rock, folk music, classical
and pop music records.The opening will be Thursday
from 5 to 7 p.m. However, the exhibition is already open and will run until Jan. 16.
Off-duty officer’s actions lauded
A Metro Vancouver Transit Police officer has received an award for her actions during an incident in New Westminster a year ago.
Staff Sgt. Connie Kyle has received a meritorious service award from B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her handling of a situation at the Braid SkyTrain station on Sept. 23, 2013.
Kyle was on her way home from work when she noticed a man who appeared to be drunk or suffering from a mental illness behaving erratically. She followed the man onto the station platform where she and another passenger saw the man in a crouched position who appeared like he was going to jump in front of a train. The two managed to pull him to safety even though Kyle had a broken shoulder and her arm was in a sling.

solutions through immigrant talent on December 3, 2014, at the Fraserview Room, 8:00-9:30am at the Inn at the Quay, 900 Quayside Drive, New Westminster.
BC faces a perfect storm over the next decade. Businesses require more workers than are currently trained and working in the province. In addition, the majority of experienced workers are nearing retirement. Employers need experienced workers who can start right away.

As a next step we are partnering with The Immigrant Employment Council of BC, the BC Chamber of Commerce, The New Westminster NewsLeader and SB Communications as we explore:
• The current labour challenges both locally and in BC
• Discover how skilled new Canadians can help meet your workforce needs
• Learn how you can connect with new Canadians
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:• Business owners
• Business managers
• HR professionals
No cost to attend. Continental breakfast to be served. Pre-registration is required as seating is limited. www.newwestchamber.com

• Learn how you can connect with new Canadians

New Westminster and Burnaby residents can enjoy holiday libations and get a safe ride home this holiday season thanks to Operation Red Nose.
This is the eighth year for the successful designated driver program that has raised thousands of dollars for KidSport. Co-ordinator Chris Wilson said he hopes volunteers will continue to sign up to be part of the team.
With nearly 300 people needed to put on the program in New West, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities over nine nights starting Nov. 28, Wilson is looking to community-minded volunteers to step up and provide driving services to people in all three cities.
“The time goes by really fast. You’re busy, meeting people, you’re getting fresh air,” said Wilson, who used to be a volunteer driver but now looks after the program that runs through to New Year’s Eve, the busiest night of the season.
This year’s campaign theme is “This Season, Hand the Reins
Over to Us.”Training and food are
provided to volunteers, Wilson said, and the average shift begins at about 7:30 p.m., with an orientation at the headquarters located at the Brunette Avenue ICBC, the program’s sponsor. It generally runs until about 3 a.m. to get everyone who needs one a safe ride home.
Here’s how it works: A team of three volunteers is dispatched and the client is safely driven home in his or her own vehicle. The client then makes a donation, with the average donation of $25 to $30.
Wilson said the clients, many of whom are picked up at local bars and restaurants, are appreciative of the service. And although the money is important to support kids in sports, the service is not about the donation but about making sure people get home safely.
“We want to ensure the barriers are low to use the service,” said Wilson.
Operation Red Nose gets drivers home safely in 13 communities around British
Columbia. This is the program’s third year in New West and Burnaby.
Last year if offered 112 rides in the Royal City and 205 rides in Burnaby.
“It’s safe to say there was probably some lives saved,” said Inspector Paul Hyland of the New Westminster police.
“We’re proud to support Operation Red Nose because we know that our roads are safer thanks to this remarkable program and its many dedicated volunteers,” said Jill Blacklock of ICBC, one of the program’s sponsors.
The service runs the four weekends before Christmas as well as New Year’s Eve: Nov. 28 and 29; Dec. 5 and 6, 12 and 13, 19 and 20, plus Dec. 31. For a ride, call 778-866-6673.
Volunteers interested in helping out should visit operationrednosetricities.com and fill out an application. Criminal record checks are required and because the program starts soon, people are encouraged to apply for a shift as soon as possible.

A Coquitlam man has been arrested by New Westminster police and charged with damaging 129 vehicles in the city’s West End and Burnaby earlier this month.
Soo Yo Kim, 37, faces two charges of mischief exceeding
$5,000. The first is for damage inflicted on 63 vehicles Nov. 12 and the second for 66 vehicles on Nov. 18. Kim pled guilty in 2006 to two counts of mischief after he was seen scratching or keying vehicles in Port Coquitlam.
New Westminster police said Kim became a suspect after the Nov. 12 incidents. Investigators witnessed him damaging vehicles in Burnaby Nov. 18. He was to make his first court appearance Monday.

The average person gains 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. With so many temptations gracing our holiday tables, from greasy meats and high-fat side-dishes to sugar-filled sweets which top up over-stuffed bellies, how do we stick to our healthy eating goals and keep the scale where we want it? Here are the top tips I share with my patients.
Take a healthy dish to every holiday party.
This will help ensure there is always something available for you to nibble on.
Remember the 80-20 rule.
Eat well 80% of the time and allow yourself a little indulgence 20% of the time. A small (keep it small) treat will actually keep you on track because you won’t feel deprived.
Don’t drink your calories!There can be a staggering
amount of calories in some
alcoholic drinks. Stay away from “sweet” and try a dry red wine instead. Because alcohol dehydrates the body, you need to counteract each glass with some water. We often mistake hunger for thirst.
Remember what really matters!
Holiday parties and family gatherings are for socializing, not lingering at the buffet table!
Eat a small protein-rich snack before heading to a holiday party.
This will help ensure you don’t overindulge out of hunger. You should be eating every 3-4 hours every day to maintain blood sugar—the key
to avoiding cravings. Don’t skip your workout. Maintaining your regular
workout will not only keep weight gain at bay, it will contribute to decreased stress levels (a bonus because we often eat when we’re under stress).
Get plenty of sleep. You may be extra busy, but
don’t allow your sleep to suffer. Studies show that we consume more calories when we are sleep-deprived.
And when you need a little accountability, try recording your food consumption in a food diary, challenging friends or working with a Naturopath or Nutritionist to set healthy eating goals.
Dr. Allana Polo is a Naturopathic Doctor. Dr. Polo opens her own
health clinic at 711 Columbia St., New Westminster on December 1.

The Greeting Card Association says people purchase some 6.5 billion greeting cards every year.
Of those, around 1.6 billion are Christmas cards.
Exchanging cards is a great way for people to show their loved ones that they’re thinking about them, and such cards make for festive ornaments to display around homes.
But when the holiday season ends, recycling those cards into other items can make good use of the paper resources and turn what’s normally a single-use item into an enduring trinket.
• Turn this year’s cards into next year’s gift tags. Cut out circles, rectangles or any shape you desire. Otherwise, visit the scrapbooking aisle of your favorite craft store and purchase
a paper punch to make easy work of cutting those shapes.
• Transform a greeting card into a mini puzzle for a youngster.
• Glue silly characters from Christmas cards onto a sheet of magnet. Then use these magnets for decorations next year.
• Frame favorite cards so their messages can endure year after year.
• Turn a beautiful card into a keepsake. Use a decoupage medium to attach a card to a ceramic or wood backing. Coat with a polyurethane top coat to protect it.
• Use greeting cards to make wine charms for holiday
entertaining. Guests can keep track of their glasses with ease.
• Use cut-outs of cards to improve the appearance of plain gift wrap or bags.
• Insert cut rounds of greeting cards into the inside of can lids to create crafty ornaments.
• Make a paper Christmas tree from cutouts on greeting cards.
• Encourage kids to make a photo collage from the cards they like. Mount their efforts on poster board and save for next year.
• Donate used cards. St. Jude’s Ranch recycles greeting cards by reselling them to help fund programs.

Chanukah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are right around the corner. That means neighborhoods, buildings and stores will soon be awash in holiday splendor. Social schedules will be full, and men and women everywhere will shuffle to complete their holiday shopping. Grab bags are a staple of this season of giving, and the following are a few dos and don’ts to ensure participation in gift exchanges is fun and friendly for all involved.
DO set a gift amount limit. Holiday grab bags are more about having fun and exchanging a little something with friends and family members than walking away with amazing prizes. Establish a spending limit so everyone receives a gift of roughly the same value and no one feels slighted or left out.
DON’T exceed the spending limit. It can be tempting to spend more to make your gift appear more impressive. But overspending defeats the
purpose of the gift exchange. Grab bags typically are anonymous, so being overly generous will not win you any style points.
DO make it a game. Tossing gifts in a bag only to have others reach in and grab one is certainly effective. But the concept can be even more fun if you make a game out of it. Try passing wrapped gifts around in a circle to a holiday song. When the music stops, the gift you are holding is the one you open. Experiment with your own variations to make gift exchanges more fun.
DON’T let anyone see the gift you bring. The idea is to keep things as secret as possible so as not to sway the selection of presents.
DO ensure your gift is unisex. Unless you know specifically that only men or women will be opening the presents, select items that will appeal to both genders. Food, gift cards, music, or home staples make great grab bag gifts.
DON’T forget to consider ages as well. Gift exchanges may include both children and adults, so include gifts that appeal to all ages when necessary. When the exchange has ended, allow participants to swap gifts if they want to.
DO expect some grab bag gifts to be gag gifts. Such gifts are entertaining and may make up the majority of the grab bag gifts. Keep your sense of humor and you’re likely to enjoy grab bags a lot more.
DON’T re-gift items to use as grab bag picks. Should the person who gave you the gift participate in the grab bag, he or she can trace that gift back to you and may be offended.
DO make sure everyone is aware that there will be a grab bag gift exchange, as there needs to be an equal number of gifts to participants so everyone gets a treat. Hosts may want to have a few extra wrapped gifts around just in case someone forgets to bring their contribution.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maria Nofi eld. Maria was born October 18, 1927 and died peacefully, surrounded by loving family, at Royal Columbian Hospital on November 21, 2014. She was pre-deceased by her fi rst husband, Louis Philippe DesLauriers (’95) and by her second husband, Louie Nofi eld (’10).
