JOB ACTION LITTLE IMPACT - SO FAR

SD41 grapples with budgetEquivalent of 27 full-time jobs lostWanda [email protected]
In the end, Burnaby school district will be cutting the equivalent of about 27 full-time jobs (FTE) to balance next year’s budget.
That’s a far cry from the 42 jobs that were being threatened by proposed cuts announced earlier.
But all along, the proposed cuts were worth more than the $3.1 million the district needed to find, noted district secretary-treasurer Greg Frank. That allowed the district and school board some flexibility to pick and choose where the savings would come from. The district also got some good news in recent weeks when the province released $265,000 in holdback funds to Burnaby, further reducing the shortfall to $2.8 million.
School trustee Ron Burton, chair of the district’s finance committee, said public input helped give the board some direction on where to focus its efforts.
“Some of the things were, of course, the band program was huge, libraries were huge.”
Homeless count shows fewer on streets in Burnaby than in 2011Wanda [email protected]
Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell would support the creation of homeless shelters on church properties in the city.
McDonell stressed that’s his personal opinion and he was not speaking on behalf of council.
The idea is that such properties
are exempted from paying city property tax.
“I think personally, the people that get tax subsidies, that pay no tax or very little tax, should be giving something back to the community if they have a facility that could be used for that.”
McDonell, who serves as chair of Burnaby’s social issues committee, was commenting in response to the preliminary findings from this year’s Metro
Vancouver homeless count. In Burnaby, there were 58
homeless people counted during a 24-hour period on March 12. That’s down from 78 in 2011 and 86 in 2008, but up from 42 in 2005.
Of this year’s total, 44 were unsheltered, living outside or couch surfing. One was classified as having
no fixed address and another 13 were in transition houses or in the church space normally used as an
extreme weather shelter, said Wanda Mulholland, of the Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness.
While the weather didn’t qualify as a reason to open the extreme weather shelter, funding was found from other sources to open it that night to facilitate the homeless count, Mulholland explained.
She stressed that the count is a snapshot in time and is generally viewed as an undercount.
Could churches help fight homelessness?

It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
Michael MacLatchy knows it can be a challenge mimicking her.
MacLatchy is a watershed management specialist for Associated Engineering. He was in charge of the restoration of John Matthews Creek in South Burnaby.
The company recently received an award of excellence from the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies British Columbia for its reconstruction of the creek and surrounding ravine after erosion caused part of it to collapse more than 30 feet in 2012.
Fixing the creek was no easy task. The ravine slopes as much as 18 or 19 per cent. Its steep walls border mostly on private property. Getting heavy equipment in and out without decimating the habitat took a light
touch and careful attention to detail.
The erosion that caused the collapse had come from years of heavy run-off of rain water from the surrounding neighbourhood. The area’s expansive road network and homes left little soil to absorb moisture. When the erosion began to undermine the clay that supported the ravine, it gave way, explained MacLatchy.
To prevent that problem from recurring, a two-foot diameter pipe was run down the ravine. A catch basin was built at the top. If rainwater run-off from surrounding streets gets too high or fast, it acts like the overflow drain in a sink and diverts the excess water into the pipe. Two city blocks down the ravine, that overflow then spills out over a jumble of rocks and boulders, slowing it to a more manageable rate for the creek to handle.
The creek was then rebuilt over the pipe, its bed lined with a special geosynthetic material to keep it watertight.
MacLatchy’s challenge was to not only ensure it worked as designed, but to also make the habitat look as if Mother Nature
had placed it there, not backhoes and shovels.
“To have this in an urban area is extremely challenging,” said MacLatchy. “It’s a crude approximation of Mother Nature.”
Rocks and boulders were reclaimed from the
site and brought in from elsewhere. Material to create the stream bed, like stones, pebbles and sand, came from Coquitlam. Tree stumps and rotting logs were reused. Grasses and vegetation were replanted, along with 10 species of trees like dogwood and
willow. MacLatchy even consulted with an avid birder who lives next to the ravine for suggestions of plants and bushes that would attract birds.
“The emphasis was on the kinds of plants you would find in a natural stream corridor,” said MacLatchy.
The result, said Kel Coulson, an environmental engineer for the City of Burnaby, is “a beautiful ravine.”
Although it’s not one the public can access. The top is fenced off to give the rebuilt habitat a chance to take hold.
For MacLatchy, the accolades are nice. But the real reward is from the fish. They’re rediscovering the creek. Steelhead have been spotted leaping their way toward spawning beds halfway up.
“The fact the fish like it is most important,” said MacLatchy.
twitter.com/newsleaderfotog
She cited as factors contributing to homelessess the city’s market rental vacancy rate of two per cent, high rents and old rental stock that is increasingly being demolished to be rebuilt as condos.
Progressive Housing Society’s outreach program helps 30 to 40 new clients each month who are homeless or at risk of being so. The extreme weather shelter operated by Lookout Emergency Aid Society was open for 43
nights between October and April and provided 325 bed nights of shelter.
The number of homeless people in Metro Vancouver rose five per cent over the past three years, a relatively small change that has prompted advocates to declare the problem stabilized.
Preliminary results of the 2014 Metro Vancouver homeless count were released Wednesday, showing an overall count of 2,770 homeless in the region, up from 2,650 in 2011.
The number of street homeless not found in shelters climbed 26 per cent to 957, although most of that increase was in the City of Vancouver, where the street homeless count more than tripled to 538.
McDonell reiterated Burnaby council’s stance that housing is the responsibility of the provincial and federal governments.
Council does its part by working to increase the stock of rental housing, by legalizing
secondary suites, for instance, and encouraging development. The first tower to be built at Brentwood mall will include 300 market rental units.
The more supply there is, the better. “I guarantee if you get flooded with rental units, the price is going to drop dramatically.”
He can’t speak for the rest of council but he would personally support a homeless shelter operated out of tax exempt properties, such as churches.
“People are homeless, they’re here, so something should be done. It’s just whose role is it to do it.”
Churches are getting “a huge tax break, to be honest,” McDonell said.
“It shouldn’t be up to the rest of the taxpayers to pay for something that other people would probably have a more vested interest in, such as churches. The teachings are you look after the poor, so maybe you should start with the churches.”

Non-enrolling teachers at elementary schools, which include music teachers and teacher-librarians, will be cut by two FTEs (down from 8.8 proposed earlier) for a savings of $189,600. Such teachers teach classes while their enrolling teachers have their preparation time.
Music programs in all the district’s elementary schools will continue.
Most of the prep time will continue to be done by music teachers, with a portion to be shared with teacher-librarians.
Kevin Kaardal said it will be a slight change in the prep time.
“It’ll allow us to keep music at every grade level. That was critical for us … At this level we don’t lose any teacher-librarians, who are key learning leaders in the schools, or the music programs in the schools.”
As with a number of programs, district staff looked at changing the model of how they operate to meet the budget targets, Kaardal said.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees wanted to save as many custodial jobs as possible, and parents wanted to make sure schools stayed clean, Burton said.
As a result, the plan to save money on custodians has been changed to save $500,000, down from the original $650,000. Instead of shifting cleaning services to
evening hours at all 41 elementary schools, now it will only take place at the 12 smallest elementaries.
Average class sizes in secondary schools have been increased from 26.5 students per class to 26.75, which is still within education ministry regulations. That will lead to a cut of almost 11 FTEs (down from the 16 proposed earlier) and a savings of $1 million.
The budgets for Adult and Continuing Education programs will be cut by $330,000 largely by ending a lease for its Brentwood location and moving it within existing school district facilities, and eliminating contracted security services at one location.
While the budget for next year has been balanced, funding shortfalls are expected to continue.
The provincial budget announced in February shows no increase to education funding in the next few years despite increasing costs.
Frank said the district will continue to look for potential savings and places to raise more revenues. But after years of cuts, the opportunities for further reductions “perhaps shrink to a certain extent.”
Burton said the district plans to start consulting with employee groups earlier in the process next year in hopes they can also come up with ideas for savings.
He gave kudos to district staff for their work on budgets. “It’s
been outstanding over the years. We haven’t
had to cut as other districts have and that’s
due to them primarily.”twitter.com/WandaChow

This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime.
The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.
My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed.
The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits:
• There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria.
In other words, the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the B.C. Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery.
• An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler
than B.C. coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada.
• Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C., with approximately 3,000 direct jobs.
These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery, which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province.
• The Canadian and provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year.
Unfortunately our Canadian
oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that.
We have a solid business plan and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world.
We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work.
We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely.
Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and U.S. government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking.
Furthermore some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada.
Refinery’s economic, environmental benefits
It’s almost May. Gardeners are getting antsy to
dig their hands into the warming earth. Barbecues are being cleaned, patio umbrellas brought out of storage. Our thoughts turn to warmer days and nights ahead.
It’s also when festival season begins in earnest.
From the first Sunday in May through to Labour Day, there is some sort of event or celebration going on in Burnaby or New Westminster almost every weekend.
The fun kicks off May 4 with the Rhododendron Festival at Deer Lake Park.
The following week thousands of salmon fingerlings will be released into Stoney Creek at the annual Great Salmon Send Off.
Then comes two weekends of Hyack Festival fun in New Westminster.
This year’s lineup of festivals and fun offers something for almost everyone; family activities, gatherings for car buffs, music lovers, artists, runners, cyclists and even foodies.
There will be at least four celebrations of our nationhood on Canada Day and international sporting events in rugby and track and field.
The diversity of our communities will be feted at events like the European Festival, the Fiji Festival and the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. Once again New West will host its own colourful Pride Festival, this year on Columbia Street.
That’s in addition to the weekly celebrations of community and healthy living at farmer’s markets at Burnaby City Hall and New Westminster’s Tipperary Park.
All of these events pump money into the local economy, keep people employed.
But most importantly they bring people together and help define our communities.
They’re an affirmation that we really do live in one of the best places on Earth.

COMMENT
In addition we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea.
Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.
If you agree we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

Re: For the most part, capitalism works (Letters, NewsLeader, April 18)
Last week’s letter writer Ziggy Eckardt proudly declared that he had to look up the definition of the word “sycophant.”
I have another suggestion while he’s got his dictionary out: “simplistic.” His understanding of the root causes of the economic challenges facing the world is, at best, simplistic.
For the past hundred or more years, the greatest social-economic thinkers have debated the solutions to the complex problem of what ratio of government/market involvement achieves a fair and prosperous modern economy.
Mr. Eckardt believes, “Even a few years of lefty-green ideology puts even the largest economy into a tailspin.”
He should have a look at those lefty-green-run countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark with their prosperous, equitable, socially caring societies before casting aspersions.
Mr. Eckardt may also wish to review his U.S. history.
When President Obama took office in January 2009 he could only wish he was inheriting an economy in a tailspin. The U.S. economy (and that of the world) was teetering on the edge of an economic abyss—a catastrophe created by the very unregulated market forces and right-wing policies Mr. Eckardt holds dear.
I’ll conclude with a few U.S. economic statistics that a “market forces” guy like Mr. Eckardt may appreciate. Under Obama, the S&P500
has increased 96 per cent; 1,564,000 jobs have been created; unemployment is down to 7.6 per cent. Not bad at all for a lefty-green President like Obama.

LAND SALE AN END-RUNRe: Acquilini group a part owner of Willingdon Lands
Were the grassroots people consulted on this purchase—because a referendum did not happen. The people were only consulted after the purchase was made. Why did it end up to be such a rush, and why are we buying our traditional lands? This is a way to get around land claims, which are at a standstill.

No impact on students in first phaseWanda [email protected]
The current teacher job action will have little effect on parents and students, says the president of the Burnaby Teachers Association.
The job action, which started Wednesday, is an administrative strike. It’s really aimed at “putting pressure on our managers so that they will in turn put pressure on their provincial counterparts to try
and get a deal resolved at the bargaining table,” said James Sanyshyn.
The BC Teachers Federation has been in negotiations for a new contract with the provincial government for months.
Teachers will not provide supervision at recess. That will have to be done by non-unionized employees, such as principals, vice-principals and district senior management.
Teachers will also not attend regular staff meetings with administrators. The exceptions will be health and safety
meetings and those involving emergencies.
Communication with parents and parent-teacher conferences will not be affected, Sanyshyn said.
“What doesn’t continue as usual is communication with ourselves and our managers, if you will, our principals. So we’re not going to be reading their emails, we’re not going to be providing them with written documentation and we won’t be receiving those either from them, for example.”
There is essentially an overtime ban as well. Unless teachers are volunteering for extra-curricular activities such as coaching sports, they must not arrive more than an hour before class or leave later than an hour after classes end.
This first phase of job action is similar to that seen two years ago in B.C. schools.
Sanyshyn said its effectiveness depends on who you ask.
Principals are likely to agree that their lives will be made more difficult.
The last time there were complaints of principals experiencing burnout and increased sick leave, he said.
It may never be known for sure whether the job action worked for the teachers last time.
But, he noted, “We didn’t end up with a legislated agreement at the end of the day, last time. Through concerted effort we negotiated a contract before the end of the school year, after having engaged in that stage one for a number of months.”

“I’d knocked off 200,000 km. Hopefully, she’s too naïve to notice”
I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii. They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world. While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought.Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right?One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected. With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks. My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition! Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.”Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition.Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle. I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school. As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition. Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.
Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold!Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more.Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that. All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.
*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

New Golf family offers quality at the right priceThe new seventh generation VW Golf arrives later this spring with a 2015 model designation.I have already had a chance to drive three examples of the new edition in Europe so I can offer you a sneak peek at what this very popular VW has going for it before it arrives here. The all-new car might look like the previous Golf but it is built on a platform that is shared across the VW group and represents a massive investment for the German manufacturer. This new platform, called MQB, enables the engineers to build all kinds of new products, be they bigger, smaller, wider or taller. What went into the design of the Golf represents a big step forward for Volkswagen as the latest model is 100kg lighter than the outgoing car but it is bigger, stiffer and safer than before. LooksIt could be argued that the new Golf looks too much like the older model but interacting with this new product quickly displays a level of refinement and finish that might be found in an upmarket Audi product. (This MQB platform is shared with the all-new Audi A3). Starting at $18,995, the base Golf is priced right in the heart of the compact market but this car sports a fully independent suspension, direct injection turbocharged engine and more power than much of the competition, at 170hp. The Golf GTI is my personal favourite due to the bad-boy looks, bigger wheels and improved engine and suspension. It starts at $27,995. The hot-hatch Golf R will arrive about a year after
the Golf and GTI and will come in at roughly the same price as the last R, right around $40,000 but fully loaded.InsideThe upside to having a slightly bigger platform is interior space and the cabin of the latest Golf does feel bigger, especially side-to-side. The centre console is wider and the dash is fitted with all-new switches and dials. Once again, the feel and look is almost Audi quality. Having a chance to drive the base car all the way up to the Golf R showed just how good the base car is. The only difference is the sportier seats
and splashier trim on the more expensive cars, but the overall design is the same from car to car and all exemplify the simple, yet elegant approach VW takes with all its interiors. DriveGone is the old 2.5-litre. 5-cylinder, replaced by an all-new 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder base engine. This engine too produces 170 but is more efficient, responsive and features state of the art technology. In the compact set, this kind of technology is unheard of at the roughly $19,000 asking price. Taking it up a notch is the legendary Golf GTI, now with 210hp from a new 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder. I had a shot driving this last year in Austria and I can say without question, this combination is fantastic. The Golf R is the ultimate Golf with roughly 300hp and an all wheel drive system. The same system is used in the all-new Audi S3 but this car comes fully loaded and will be roughly $4,000 less than the starting price of
the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S.
Verdict
This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI en-gine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance.
The LowdownPower: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.Fill-up: Not available yet. Sticker price: $18,995-$40,000

Question of the week:The BC government is considering raising the fine for distracted driving from $167. Should it match Ontario’s announced intent to increase its fine from $300 to $1,000 for people who talk or text on their hand held phones while driving?
Please explain why you have made that decision.Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer and you could win a $100 Safeway gift card.
OF THE WEEK!
?QUESTION
Safety Tip:Now that it’s grad season, ICBC road safety speakers will be talking to B.C. high school students with a very important
message: crashes are the number one preventable cause of death for youth in B.C. and teens need to recognize that they have the power to make smart choices.

Camping is fun and most of us have done it at one time or another.Of course, it can be miser-able without a decent tent that is easy to set up and keeps you dry and comfort-able. One of the hottest products on the market today is called “truck tent.” Napier Enterprises developed it and it makes sense for those people that like to go camping, but do not like to sleep on the ground. The truck tent is exactly as it sounds a tent for your truck. This tent sits in the
open bed of your truck with the tent poles (which are
like regular tent poles that collapse with a quick pull) designed to fit in the stake pockets of your box rail. The tent also comes with a fly for the rain and an aw-ning off the back to cover climbing in and out. And they have tents available for just about any truck. The cost is around $289, depending on the truck. Invest in an air mattress or you will be sporting a set of marks on your back resembling the ribs in the truck’s bed, don’t ask me how I know. SUV owners should espe-cially like the tents that are designed with them in mind. These tents feature a docking collar that fits around the back of your sport-ute so your vehicle is inside your tent. When you need your vehicle, you just remove the collar and zip it up, $379. For hunters there is a Camo version featuring the Mossy Oak break up design. Just be careful stick-ing your head out the back in the early morning. The newest tent to their product line is the Back-roadz truck tent. This value priced tent line fits most pickups and sleeps two
comfortably. Easy setup utilizing shock-corded fiber-glass poles and offers 5’ 5” of head room. It comes with a rain fly and storm flap in the door section to provide privacy and protection. The cost of this model is $199. The SUV/Minivan tent has a universal sleeve that fits snug around any vehicle with a 9’ x 9’ footprint that can sleep 4-6 people and over 7’ of headroom. There are three large mesh win-dows providing plenty of ventilation and the bathtub style floor keeps things dry. Carrying bag included for $269. The interesting thing about this line up is with every purchase a tree will be planted through the partnership with trees for the future.A quick tip, order the Sportz strap protectors for $24.99. These strap protectors will save the finish on the side of your truck and prevent scratches as the wind moves you and your tent around. There are many combinations available from this company, so look them up at www.napieren-terprises.com.ian.harwood@ drivewaybc.ca

Public Access to BC Children’s Hospital Emergency has changed.Public Access to BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Now Through Oak Street Entrance Only
As of April 23, access to the BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Department (ED) will be from Oak Street, door 11 on the west side of the building. As a result, traffic patterns and parking have changed.
Parking
New short term Emergency Department parking is available in front of the new entrance area. Non-emergency parking is available close by in the underground parkade. A parking assistant is available at Entrance 11 to help patients and families access longer term parking from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday.
We recommend that patients and visitors allow extra time to find parking before appointments.
This change is necessary to accommodate the start of construction on the new Teck Acute Care Centre. We appreciate your patience during construction.

P erhaps the owners of Metropolis at Metrotown knew something when
they renamed the combined Metropolis and Metrotown shopping malls in 2005.
The area around the megamall is becoming a megalopolis.
The mall’s 450 stores and services are already a shopping destination for much of Metro Vancouver. But today, Metrotown neighbourhood is becoming a place to live and work, too.
The most striking transformation is just to the west of the mall, where Beedie Development Group and Anthem
Properties are redeveloping the old Station Square shopping complex that included a Save-On Foods, Future Shop and other retailers into a mini city. Construction of the first residential tower, 35 storeys high, with offices and retail on the first three floors, is underway.
Four more towers will follow. When the project is completed, in four to six years, 1,800 homes will be clustered around a new “high street” and outdoor plaza. Residents will be able to shop in a new grocery store and other boutique retailers, relax at outdoor restaurant patios,
and gather around the signature fountain planned for the plaza.
A few steps east, Sears has big plans for its 8.9-acre property that includes parking lot space and its Metrotown store. The retailer has applied to Burnaby city council to create a conceptual master plan that would include five mixed-use, high-density residential towers, two office towers, a new flagship Sears as well as other retailers.
On the south side of the mall, tenants are beginning to occupy the new Metrotower III. The $170-million tower adds 400,000 square feet of office space, bringing the total for the three-tower complex to one
million square feet. Beyond the mall property, more new towers are being added to Burnaby’s burgeoning skyline.
When completed later this year, the Sovereign will be the highest high-rise above sea level in the Lower Mainland. Its 45 storeys will include 202 condominium units atop the 169-room Element hotel offering an “eco-chic environment” and 5,500 square feet of flexible meeting places.
The tower, being built by Bosa Properties, will also have electric-vehicle charging stations and a bike loaning program.
“It’s fresh, it’s new, it’s contemporary, it’s sustainable,”
said Bosa CEO Colin Bosa.
Across Central Boulevard on the mall’s south side, a series of new towers will be linked by a new transit and pedestrian mall alongside a newly renovated Metrotown
SkyTrain station.The $37-million transit project
will accommodate the growth in the area since the station was built in 1986. It will also be flanked on one side by shops, open-air cafés, restaurants and even an art walk.
This surge of growth in Metrotown isn’t just creating new homes and workplaces. Density bonuses developers have negotiated with the city are funding new community amenities like a seniors centre on Nelson Avenue, improvements to nearby parks and the Bonsor Recreation Complex and office space for non-profit organizations.
When complete, the redeveloped Station Square will have five residential towers clustered around a new ‘high street’ and outdoor plaza.

Planning METROTOWN in Burnaby, the Central City
Burnaby is the heart of Metro Vancouver. Our city’s four town centres – Brentwood, Metrotown, Edmonds and Lougheed – are transforming to become the unique complete communities first envisioned by citizens more than 20 years ago.
By focusing development and investment in our town centres, Burnaby has attracted exceptional commercial and residential developments that offer citizens easy access to rapid transit, work recreation and entertainment – all while protecting 25% of our city as park and open space.
“Development in the 1980s and 1990s has been characterized by the introduction of more sophisticated urban uses, particularly in the commercial and industrial sectors. The Metrotown area, designated as Burnaby’s primary Town Centre, has been the recipient of a major component of this growth, particularly since the introduction of SkyTrain in 1986. Each of the City’s other Town Centres, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds is poised for redevelopment, moving away over time from their existing suburban shopping centre roles into more mixed-use core areas, with an emphasis on a greater sense of community focus.”B u r n a By 1998 O f f i c i a l c O m m u n i t y P l a n
• Silver by Intercorp and Moda by Polygon Homes, which will help to shape Burnaby’s first ‘art walk’ on Beresford Street between Dow and McKay avenues. The much-anticipated, vibrant, art-focused streetscapes will demonstrate Burnaby’s emphasis on creating pedestrian- and transit-friendly spaces.
• a $1.3 million renovation of the upper floor of the Bonsor Community Centre. It will include a sprung-wood floor for fitness classes, dances and other social events; a spin-cycling studio, and two music studios.
• Concord-Pacific’s Met 2 building, under construction near Bonsor on Nelson. This residential high-rise embraced Burnaby’s requirement for providing green transportation options for residents of new high-density developments, then took it to a whole new level, acquiring two electric vehicles, one of which is a Tesla! They are also installing quick-charge stations that will recharge electric vehicles in one-third the standard charging time.
EDMONDSMETROTOWN LOUGHEEDBRENTWOOD
• Station Square, by Anthem Properties and the Beedie Development Group, which, when complete, will host restaurants, cafes, public gathering spaces, commercial space and residences, with five phased towers.
• a large non-profit program and office space soon to be complete (part of Intracorp’s MetroPlace development, located on the Beresford Street art walk), obtained through Burnaby’s density bonus program. It will be the new home of the Burnaby Neighbourhood House and its partners. The new Bonsor 55+ centre, at the southwest corner of Bennett Street and Nelson Avenue, was also a result of the program, through Polygon Home’s Chancellor Development.
• another non-profit resource centre (planned for 2015), at Willingdon Avenue and Kingsway, gained through Bosa’s Sovereign Development. This space will be home to Burnaby Family Life and the Burnaby Hospice Society.
• a new major proposal – the redevelopment of the Sears Canada site, adjacent to Metropolis. It’s at the Conceptual Master Plan stage – early planning stages. It’s anticipated that, in future, it would be constructed in multiple phases, and include a new flagship department store for Sears Canada, high-density residential and office towers above a commercial-retail podium, and community enhancements such as public plazas along Kingsway and Nelson Avenue.

of Burnaby, visit www.burnaby.ca
Metrotown Town Centre is Burnaby’s downtown and the second largest urban centre in Metro Vancouver. It is continuing to see spectacular, creative developments, further positioning Burnaby as a regional leader in creating sustainable, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly communities. Current planned and proposed developments include:METROTOWN
“Throughout our history, Burnaby has worked with citizens to shape
a city that reflects their high expectations. Citizens told Council
that their priority was to protect the green spaces that made our
community unique, which was truly a visionary goal at that time. As
a result, the City is 25% park and open space and has a unique open
watercourse bylaw that protects our streams and habitat. At the same
time, citizens endorsed the concept of concentrating development in
designated urban centres to accommodate higher density residential
and commercial buildings. Through this work, decades prior to the
completion of SkyTrain, Burnaby developed its plan to create four
town centres to be served and linked by rapid transit. This foresight
would result in the development of our vibrant urban centres of
Metrotown, Edmonds, Lougheed and Brentwood. Because of this
vision over many years, citizens of Burnaby are now enjoying the
many benefits of the complete communities that are developing in
our four town centres.”

Breath-taking views and modern living at Station Square
Anthem Properties and Beedie Living have
teamed up to bring Station Square to Burn-
aby’s Metrotown neighbourhood. With a
fantastic location, beautiful homes and plenty
of amenities, it’s no surprise that people from
all over the Lower Mainland are fl ocking to it.
“Burnaby is a sought-after city to live in,”
says Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and
marketing for Anthem Properties. “Th is is an
incredible little neighbourhood we’re creating,
and a lot of people want to live here.”
Th e second tower at Station Square will open
for sale in mid-May, and will be a 48-storey
building encompassing 443 condominium
homes.
“Th e fi rst tower has been a huge success,” says
Zayadi. “Th ere’s a huge amount of interest in
the next tower.”
Zayadi says that Anthem will off er the same
beautiful features as in the fi rst tower, but
with a few changes, including slightly diff erent
fl oorplans and refi ned features.
“Th ese are nice, functional fl oor plans,” he
says. “We’ve made them lin-
ear and extremely effi cient.”
Th e architecture at Station
Square will be distinctive and
modern, with bay windows
and plenty of glass and
concrete.
“Th e tower has been inspired by New York-
style art deco skyscrapers and is intended to
stand proudly in its own right, appearing taller
than it actually is by incorporating vertical el-
ements such as the deco top, bay window and
superframe elements,” according to architect
Chris Dikeakos Architects Inc.
Due to the height of the building, homeown-
ers at Station Square’s second tower will have
breathtaking views.
Inside, modern gourmet kitchens feature
stainless-steel appliances, contemporary
fl at-panel laminate cabinetry with under-cabi-
net recessed puck lighting and quartz counter-
tops with marble accents.
Wood laminate fl ooring throughout the living
areas and bedrooms and ceilings up to nine
feet in height continue the luxurious theme,
while the bathrooms are spa-like and relaxing,
with quartz countertops, a soaker tub and
a frameless glass shower surround in select
bathrooms.
Homeowners at Station Square will have
access to plenty of communities, including
nearly an acre of indoor and outdoor amenity
space, Zayadi says. Th e fi rst and second tower
will share some of their amenities, including
an infrared sauna, fi tness fa-
cility, entertainment lounge
with a gourmet kitchen,
indoor/outdoor seating and
outdoor dining areas and a
refl ecting pool.
Station Square will eventually include fi ve tow-
ers and tons of retail and commercial space.
Among the confi rmed tenants are Rexall, Save
On Foods, TD Canada Trust and Caff e Artigia-
no. Th ere will also be direct access to SkyTrain
and transit.
If you choose to venture off your property,
Metrotown off ers plenty of options for shop-
ping, dining, leisure and recreation, including
several parks and other green spaces. You’ll
also be close to Simon Fraser University and
other education options.
Homes at Station Square start in the $250,000
range. For more information, visit www.sta-
tionsquare.ca or call 604-689-3040.

Shape Living is transforming Burnaby’s Willingdon and Lougheed neighborhood into North America’s largest and most impressive new residential community. Formerly known as Brentwood Town Centre, Shape is redefi ning the area as “Th e Amazing Brentwood.”
Th e project will include a commercial district with shopping, dining and entertainment, capped with some seriously impressive homes. Ten residential towers up to 70 storeys tall are planned and will be home to up to 4,200 residences. Two other towers will be set aside for offi ces. Th e existing Brentwood Town Centre mall is getting a complete facelift and will re-open before residents move in.
“Th e sheer size of the 28-acre Brentwood development makes it noteworthy, but what we are really passionate about is how Brentwood takes the art of great place making and the convenience of mixed-use transit-oriented development to a whole new level,”
says Darren Kwiatkowski, Executive Vice President of Development for Shape Living. “Brentwood will deliver a truly unique off ering in the marketplace.”
Transit is a major part of the new Amazing Brentwood community, with SkyTrain arriving directly in the heart of the development at the public plaza, a one-acre space that will be full of shops and restaurants, with over 350 shops and services available once the project is complete. Two of the residential towers will surround the plaza, making shopping, dining and recreation just an elevator ride away. Homeowners at Th e Amazing Brentwood will also have access to a fully equipped fi tness facility, music room and plenty of outdoor space to relax or visit with neighbours and friends, among other amenities.
Th e fi rst tower is called Brentwood ONE, and will include 291 condominium homes. Luxury homes will start on the 33rd fl oor and rise to the 63rd fl oor. Below that will be boutique rental properties.
Th e one-bedroom-and-fl ex condominiums will be available in a range of fl oorplans between 539 and 560 square feet, while the two-bedrooms will range between 728 and 903 square feet.
“Th ey have paid incredible attention to detail at Th e Amazing Brentwood,” says Tracie McTavish, president at Rennie Marketing Systems. “Th ey’ve thought things
through, and everything is high quality.”Among the gorgeous features at Brentwood
ONE will be amazing views from every home and gourmet Italian-imported kitchens with tons of storage, a gas cooktop and a convenient kitchen island.
“Th ese kitchens are 40 per cent larger than the usual kitchens,” says McTavish.
Nine-foot ceilings are standard throughout, and every home includes a spacious balcony perfect for entertaining.
“Shape Living really looked at the livability of these homes,” says McTavish. “Th ey call it ‘intelligent living.’”
Shape is providing some thoughtful details in every home as well, including a side-by-side washer and dryer, USB and four-plug outlets and at least one parking stall and storage space.
Th e sales centre will open for previews on April 26.
“Th is is something you have to come in and experience,” says McTavish. “It’s that impressive. Th ey’re really catering to consumer demand. If you are planning to buy a condo anywhere, you need to come here fi rst.”
Homes at Brentwood ONE start at $299,900 for a one-bedroom and $382,900 for a two-bedroom home. For more information, visit www.theamazingbrentwood.com or stop by the presentation centre and three show homes at 4567 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby.
Submitted renderingsThe Amazing Brentwood will start previewing its fi rst residential tower on April 26. The 28-acre site will be the largest and most impressive new residential community in North America, and will include transit, shopping and dining right on-site.
