With just a few days left before Langley City’s fi rst byelection, all nine candidates were jostling for position in front of nearly 100 people who attended a Tues-day afternoon all-candidates meeting at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre.

Homelessness, crime and crumbling infrastructure were the issues that attracted the most attention, both from the candidates and the audience.

“Some seniors do not feel safe, even in their own homes,” said Shelley Coburn, a school trustee who has said she will remain on the school board if she is elected to council.

Coburn said having one person serving on both bodies would be “value-added for taxpayers.”

Carol Gran, a former Lang-ley MLA, said the problems of homelessness, crime and a de-clining downtown were tackled with some success in Kelowna when she was a member of that council.

“It can be done,” Gran said, pointing to the construction in Kelowna of “supportive hous-ing” as something the City could do to get homeless people off the streets.

Kiernan Hillan said the prob-lems facing the City are solvable and as a retired municipal man-ager with decades of experience, he has a “unique set of skills” to solve them.

The annual Coldest Night of the Year walk to benefi t the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope in Langley drew more participants and do-nations on Saturday than in pre-vious years.

Organizers said there were 225 walkers and 19 registered teams, including one that may have been the biggest of any participating in

the “Coldest Night” events across Canada.

The 51-member Credo Cubs was captained by Jerry Scholtens, a teacher at Credo Christian Ele-mentary.

Usually, teams don’t get bigger than a dozen participants, but Scholtens decided to see if the event website would allow a big-ger grouping, which is how a large contingent of energetic young

participants ended up making the march together.

“We’re really excited,” Scholtens said.

As of Tuesday, the Langley cam-paign had raised $20,564 or 68 per cent of its $30,000 goal.

The largest amount raised by a team was $5,606.40 by the sev-en-member Design Lighting team.

The second largest amount, $5,040, was raised by the Credo

Cubs.One of the event organizers,

Gateway of Hope volunteer and project co-ordinator Brenda Van-derhorst, issued a “big thank you” to the community.

“This year we defi nitely saw an increase in donations from indi-vidual walkers and businesses,” Vanderhorst said.

More than 200 participants walked in the annual Salvation Army fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 20

“It’s very heartwarming to see the community in action to help raise support,” she added.

“We need the trend to continue.”The Salvation Army Gateway of

Hope is experiencing increased de-mand for its services, Vanderhorst said.

Last year, it served over 90,000 in-dividual meals and sheltered 700 people.

People can make donations to “Coldest Night” until March 18 on-line at coldestnightoftheyear.org/lo-cation/langley.

Gateway of Hope has 32 beds in its emergency shelter, 25 in its transi-tional housing program, as well as up to 30 additional mats during ex-treme weather, a daily community meal program and over 25 other pro-grams and services.

Langley City councillor Rudy Storteboom was one of more than 200 participants in the annual ‘Coldest Night of the Year’ fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 20. The event raised more than $20,000 in support of the Gateway of Hope homeless shelter.


An early morning crash at 264 Street and 56 Avenue sent a Surrey couple to hospital on Thursday.

Around 4 a.m., a 61-year-old Mis-sion man was driving a pickup truck when he attempted to make a left hand turn in front of the Surrey se-niors’ white Acura Integra.

Damage to the front end of the In-tegra is extensive and the passengers, both 71-years-old, were temporarily trapped inside. An air ambulance was called but then cancelled once the couple’s injuries had been assessed, said police.

The 61-year-old driver was not in-jured and remained at the scene. He was issued a violation ticket, said Langley RCMP. The couple were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Alcohol and speed do not ap-pear to be factors, said police.

It was raining heavily at the time of the crash but it is unclear if weather played a role.

The 66 sick and neglected puppies and adult dogs seized from a Lang-ley puppy mill are responding well to treatment and some will be ready for adoption in a few weeks, says the BC SPCA.

“Our major challenge right now is that all the dogs are under quar-antine because of ring worm,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement offi cer for the BC SPCA.

“Some of the dogs require further emotional support and will be with us longer.”

The dogs were seized from a Lang-ley breeder in early February.

An SPCA statement said the dogs had serious “medical and psycho-

logical issues,” including broken bones, missing ears and eyes, infec-tions and abscesses, dental disease, severe matting and overgrown nails.

The starving dogs were living in small, stacked crates and cages, in dark, unheated buildings.

“It is inconceivable to think that anyone allowed these innocent an-imals to suffer like this,” said Mori-arty.

The breeders had been on the SPCA radar for a number of years, with several people laying formal complaints against them.

“These guys were so professional at evading us and popping up again. It took a detailed complaint straight from a current buyer for us to get a warrant,” said Moriarty.

The SPCA is still waiting for all the

reports from the veterinarian who has been looking after the seized dogs. Those medical reports will be sent to Crown counsel with the hope criminal charges will proceed.

Meanwhile, 70 cats and sever-al dogs were seized from a Surrey breeder last week.

The B.C. government has an-nounced new regulations are com-ing to require dog and cat breeders to meet national standards for their care.

Expected to take effect in 2017, the rules will require daily cleaning of pens, minimum space for each an-imal depending on its size, and vet-erinary care for dogs and cats that are sick, injured or in pain.

A registration system would allow animal inspectors to inspect prem-ises, rather than wait for public complaints.

More than 300 people applauded author and activist Wab Kinew Sat-urday in Langley as he called for an unfl inching examination of the res-idential schools program that tried to extinguish indigenous culture in Canada.

Any review of the forcible removal of First Nations children from their families must be “a no-holds-barred look at what happened,” Kinew said during his address at Langley’s York-son Creek Middle School.

Kinew wrote The Reason You Walk: A Memoir, which describes the dam-age the government-approved res-idential school program did to his father, Tobasonakwut, who was sex-ually assaulted by a nun during his stay at St. Mary’s Indian Residential School.

The book was called a “must-read” by the Globe and Mail newspaper, which called Kinew’s account of his family’s journey toward forgiveness “not just a memoir, it’s a meditation on the purpose of living.”

Kinew, who is Anishinaabe, switched between his language and English as he spoke Saturday, saying “every time I speak my language, Sir John A. Macdonald (and the other architects of the residential school program) spin in their graves.”

To say the schools were allowed to

continue as long as they did because no one knew about the abuse is not true, Kinew said.

He said the schools continued to operate long after a major Cana-dian newspaper revealed in 1965 that, among other things, one ad-ministrator admitted to deliberately starving the children in his care.

More recently, a report by a Uni-versity of Guelph food historian found that between 1942 and 1952, indigenous children were used as unwilling subjects to research the effects of malnutrition on northern Manitoba reserves and at six resi-dential schools across the country (milk was withheld, dental services refused and some children were given vitamins and minerals while others received none).

The attitude of cultural superior-ity toward indigenous people that made the schools possible is still out there, Kinew said.

“This is the uncomfortable truth of reconciliation,” Kinew said.

“In order to fully grasp the enor-mity of what happened, we have to take a no-holds-barred look.”

Kinew said the executive summa-ry of the fi nal report of the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commis-sion of Canada, which details the residential school abuses and lays out a program of action, should be made required reading for all Cana-

dians.He added that the racism of the

residential schools has also hurt non-indigenous Canadians.

“You have been damaged on a moral level, you have been damaged on an ethical level and you have been damaged on a real and literal level,” Kinew said.

Kinew was the keynote speaker at ‘A Community Day of Reconcilia-tion,’ part of a weekend-long event organized by former Langley school trustee Cecelia Reekie, whose father is a residential school survivor.

Kwantlen First Nation chief Mar-ilyn Gabriel also spoke at the Sat-urday event, recounting how she recently encountered a residential school survivor who was just 42 years old.

“It’s not that long ago,” Gabriel said.

Gabriel said children in what is now known as the Kwantlen First Nation were taken away to the Ku-per Island Residential School on Pe-nelakut Island, sent a great distance to make sure they wouldn’t be able to run back to their homes.

“They were taken away, some as young as four.” Gabriel said.

Gabriel recalled her mother telling her how her sister, who had eczema, was scrubbed so hard with a brush at the school that it left her bleed-ing.

Kinew calls for ‘no-holds-barred’ look at residential schools

Wab Kinew tells an audience of more than 300 people that a re-view of the residential schools atrocities in Canada must be “a no-holds-barred look at what happened.” Kinew was speaking at the “Beginning a Journey Toward Reconciliation” event at Yorkson Creek Middle School in Langley Township on Saturday.

Thirty nine owners of units in Ridgewood Man-or, an apartment complex in Langley banded together to protest what was described in the Times as a “massive” tax hike.

The residents, 90 per cent of whom were se-niors on fi xed incomes, signed a petition and de-livered it to the City.

Mayor Aubrey Searle noted that he was “as dismayed” as they were about rising taxes, for which he condemned a previous council.

The City had selected an option based on as-sessed property value, unaware that those val-ues were about to soar.

While the seniors were faced with a large hike, industrial and commercial properties would hardly be affected.

“If this keeps up I’m going to buy a tent,” said the seniors’ spokesman, Norman Milne.

“We can turn a corner on crime,” Hillan said.

Mel Kositsky said he may not live in the City, but his 18 years as a Langley councillor, his work on various Lang-ley City initiatives like the seniors centre and his time covering City council as a report-er mean that “I know more about Langley City than most people.”

Rae Maj said there were no simple an-swers to the issues the City faces, but introduc-ing uniformed security staff, police foot pa-trols and better lighting would help.

As it is now, Maj said, her parents would feel “uneasy going down-town at night.”

Sharon Newbery, who operates a business in the City as well as living there, said businesses and jobs are leaving the downtown core, but the trend can be reversed.

“I love this city,” New-bery said. “I want to be part of its future.”

Serena Oh said she would press to build more shelter for home-less people, do more

to clean up downtown and promote “respect for elders.”

“I’m not a good speak-er, but I’m a good doer,” Oh said.

Nathan Pachal, who missed getting elected to City council in the last municipal election by a handful of votes, said he would work to make sure people feel safe when they go downtown.

“All is not lost,” Pachal said, calling for steps to clean up trash and graffi ti and fi x up crum-bling sidewalks, among other things.

“We need to double down on our infrastruc-ture,” Pachal said.

George Roman called for more foot and bike patrols by police, cre-ating a special team to help homeless people get off the street, and

fi xing up downtown Langley City.

Roman wants to “re-design the entire down-town core” the way Fort Langley and Leav-enworth, Wash. added heritage elements to attract visitors.

Four members of Langley City council attended the meeting, including mayor Ted Schaffer and council-lors Paul Albrecht, Rudy Storteboom and Gayle Martin.

During the question and answer session, Martin asked the can-didates “how many would be willing to raise taxes to put your ideas into practice?”

No one said yes, and all of the candidates who did respond said it was a matter of pri-oritizing spending, not raising taxes.

The byelection vote will take place Satur-day, Feb. 27, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Doug-las Recreation Centre 20550 Douglas Cres.

The nine hopefuls in the Langley City byelection made their pitches to an au-dience of nearly 100 people Monday afternoon. From left: Shelley Coburn, Carol Gran, Kiernan Hillan, Mel Kositsky, Rae Maj, Sharon Newbery, Serena Oh, Nathan Pachal and George Roman.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fi ght for good customer value.

Paul Keeris of the Langley Li-ons Club ushers a visitor into the concession trailer the char-ity uses for cooking at events like the Langley Cruise-In.

“They hacked off the lock of the door on this side,” says Keeris, showing the gaping hole in the side door.

Inside, the space that used to house a professional quality barbecue, tent and other sup-plies has been largely emptied.

Metal support poles have been beaten into twisted wreckage.

“The poles here were battered with a sledgehammer to get the large barbecue out of this cor-ner,” Keeris says.

“Then the power generator (and) the large tent (were re-moved).”

The robbers couldn’t get the large support poles for the 24-foot white tent out and they didn’t bother taking the smaller bright yellow tent with the Li-ons Club logo, likely because it would be too easily identifi ed as stolen.

“They left the tables, but ev-erything else is gone,” Keeris says.

“The two freezers, everything from the shelves, from utensils to sugar packs, condiments. Ev-erything is gone. Even the fi rst aid kit and the stairways to step into the trailer. It’s all gone and now we need help.”

The theft of the trailer and contents from the fenced-off compound in Surrey where they were stored was discov-ered Sunday morning, Feb. 7.

Surrey RCMP located the emp-tied trailer that afternoon.

“I was in shock,” Keeris says.The estimated value of the

Long wait for new Timms ends today Most of us have had that ex-

perience, one time or another, when we’ve visited an area we haven’t been to in a while, only to discover that an entire build-ing has seemingly sprung up overnight.

It seems impossible that so much could be accomplished so quickly.

Yet, there it is.It’s an entirely different sce-

nario when you drive past a construction site twice a day — as many of us who work two blocks away from City Hall have done — ea-gerly awaiting the convenience of an after-work walk around a brand new indoor track.

In that case, time almost seems to grind to a halt.

Watching the new Timms Communi-ty Centre grow from an ever deepening hole in the ground, while (later) getting the occasional glimpse of a welder, electrician or drywaller at work, has drawn out the process to an almost ex-cruciating degree.

But, from what we’ve seen, the wait will have been worth it.

Today is the day users of Timms Community Centre in Langley City have watched approaching the same way a driver on the Canadian prairie watches the approach of the next city. You know you’ll ar-rive at it eventually, but ...

The offi cial grand opening of the new, state-of-the art facil-ity, set for this afternoon, has been a long time coming, as City CAO Francis Cheung told me last week during a walk-

through of the new building.At that point, the City also had every

intention of opening the facility to us-ers on Monday, as we reported.

It wasn’t until after our Friday paper had gone to press that City staff real-ized that as much as they wanted it to be, the centre just couldn’t be complet-ed on time for a Feb. 22 soft opening.

In the grand scheme of things, two days isn’t much.

Long before the design for the build-ing was revealed in June 2014, and well before shovels hit the ground that Oc-tober, plans had been in the works to replace the former fi tness centre.

This was before my time, but I’m told the old building was originally con-structed as a library in 1967 to cele-brate Canada’s centennial.

By the time the bulldozers arrived, it had long since reached the end of its useful life.

Timms centre users have had to be patient over the past couple of years, working out at another aging building on Eastleigh Crescent while the new fa-cility was under construction.

That patience is being rewarded with a beautiful new building in which to work out and play.

In addition to offering brand new top-of-the-line equipment, the building it-self is well designed, offering staff good sight lines and providing plenty of nat-ural light.

One of the nicest aspects of the cen-tre, for me at least, is that it is designed to be a community hub where users of all ages can come and exercise or play a game or just sit and chat over a cup of coffee.

It’s a place residents can enjoy for generations to come, whether they’re training for a marathon or just want to be part of a marathon gab session.

You have to wonder if, back in 2007, while Da-vid Shepherd and Travis Price were buying a stack of 50 pink shirts could they have imagined that their bullying protest would spread around the world.

Probably not. They were just trying to support a fellow stu-

dent who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the fi rst day of school. But today, we are celebrat-ing Pink Shirt Day (or Anti-bullying Day, if you prefer) for the ninth year.

And it’s fi ve years since the United Nations took a stand and proclaimed May 4 International An-ti-Bullying Day.

That’s pretty good return for the purchase of a stack of cheap T-shirts.

Why do people, especially kids, bully others? There are so many reasons that it would never be possible to fi nd one answer that would fi t all situations.

What is common, however, is their victims. Bullies have a knack for fi nding the kids that are

unlikely to retaliate. And they choose them because the victim is

different — skin colour, nationality, size, hair co-lour, shape of the nose, you name it — even the colour of shirt you choose to wear.

Let’s hope the word continues to spread. Bullying will likely never be wiped out com-

pletely, but we can hope to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with the once socially acceptable drinking and driving.

So let’s all do our part today, and wear pink to show you are taking a stand against bullying.

Editor: Frank Bucholtz hits the nail on the head (Willoughby will feel the effect of the B.C. budget, the Times, Feb. 19).

Willloughby does not have any-where near the infrastructure nor the schools, shops, parks, roads, sidewalks, street lights, etc. to support the homes, families, and neighbourhoods, already built in the area let alone for the thou-

sands of new ones being planned and built right now.

I have never seen such a “dog’s breakfast” of new developments strung together in piecemeal fashion, with huge gaps in be-tween and unsafe walking con-ditions for children and parents to and from their schools, bits and pieces of new projects and half-fi nished construction hop

scotching and leap frogging all across the countryside.

Now another Williams neigh-bourhood plan for a huge area of the Township is in the works for lands directly to the east. What next?

Langley is becoming an abso-lute mess. They are not listening to the public outcries. It is time for some “fi reside” chats down at

Township of Langley Hall.Senior administration with

high levels of training and achievement in civil and traffi c engineering, community build-ing and storm water manage-ment experience are desperately needed in our community.

BRUCE MCWILLIAM,

LANGLEY

Editor: As you are aware, there is incredible pressure right now to legalize eutha-nasia and assisted suicide.

Quebec pushed through its own legislation that would allow for euthanasia even though it is a criminal mat-ter and the responsibility of the federal government.

Canada is rushing down a dangerous road without taking the time to properly examine the issues.

Once the right to life be-comes subjective, it be-comes logically and prac-tically impossible to enact safeguards. If one person has a right to die because of how they feel about their condition, why can’t some-one else?

Suddenly it becomes the government’s duty to kill all those who want it. We are going down a steep and dangerous road.

DEAN CLARK,

LANGLEY

Editor: She is 24, and straight out of high school she had gone to Haiti. For fi ve years she has helped transform the lives of a great many street children in that troubled land.

Her name is Morgan Wien-berg, co-founder of Little Foot-prints, Big Steps.

On Thursday evening March 3, she will speak at the Rotary Club of Langley about her work reuniting Haitian children with their families and partnering with agencies to provide pro-tection, education, training and health care.

Morgan now lives in Haiti but she will visit B.C. in March to receive the Governor General’s Meritorious Service Cross.

She has been honoured with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, Governor General of Canada Academic Awards, Yu-kon Commissioner Award, rec-ognized in Washington, DC as a fi nalist for the Berger-Marks Foundation for Young Women Impacting Social Justice and was awarded the Rotary Inter-national Paul Harris Fellowship Award for Humanitarian Im-pact.

She was a keynote speaker at the 2013 United Nations Youth Assembly. Perhaps some of your readers would like to hear this lady speak about how she mobilized assistance for our brothers and sisters.

The Rotary Club of Langley in-vites those interested to come to our meeting on March 3 for Morgan’s presentation at 6:50 p.m. Those who wish to have dinner ($25) at 6:15, please RSVP by phone at 604-635-4410.

The venue is the Coast Ho-tel and Convention Centre 2nd Floor, 20393 Fraser Hwy.

Editor: A parking violation or problem should be the least of concerns for patients and visitors using Langley Memorial Hospital.

At present, it is a poor system, offering no thought or service to its patrons.

The majority of folks using this parking lot are patients coming for hospital care, which includes seniors, the infi rm, visitors (who may be seeing a loved one for the last time), folks on walkers, canes, wheelchairs, etc.

Why, in one of the richest coun-tries in the world, are we accept-ing outdoor, unsheltered coin-op-erated machines in the worst of inclement weather and thinking this is the best the parking au-

thority can offer? Nonsense.This is not some cash-strapped

Third World country — this is Canada and we deserve better than this.

On site, there are warning signs that the system is under 24-hour surveillance.

That being the case, then put that person back into a toll booth, which gives you a parking stub when you enter, pay when you leave.

That used to be what the hospi-tal provided and when they dis-carded that system it was strictly for profi t — not for the comfort of its patrons.

This is not nickel and dime op-

eration and some organization is making a hefty profi t at the ex-pense of the patrons.

There is no reason why a cano-py running the central length of the parking lot across the road-way up to the entrance shouldn’t also be provided. If Vancouver air-port can provide sheltered service so can Langley hospital.

So the next time Langley Me-morial Hospital puts out an ap-peal for public support, let’s ask them fi rst to remember they are a caring organization and it starts here — fi x this outdated parking system to one of caring for all who use it.

TERRY SHANNON,

LANGLEY

Editor: Mr. Seguin has misunderstood the theme of my letter (the Times, Feb. 10) with regard to the high cost of local hay.

By using scarce, good fertile farmland for build-ing very large single family dwellings, there is little space left for hay crops that need large machinery to do the harvest.

Perhaps the municipal council will realize this be-fore it is too late.

Anyone who has boarded horses has struggled with owners who insist they love their animals but cannot afford to pay for the feed and bedding.

The horse must be continually cared for.Farmers always plan and organize for adequate

feed, but a sudden lengthy snow fall can dig too deeply into winter supplies, and then the search is on.

With the help of LEPS more than 100 trees and shrubs have been planted on my property, hoping the grandchildren will be able to breathe better in the future.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

When asked about his favour-ite scene while fi lming the Acad-emy-award nominated drama, Room, Langley actor Jacob Trem-blay said what any nine-year-old would.

“My favourite scene is when I get to eat ice cream.”

The large crowd at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley erupted into laughter. It was one of several moments when the young actor had the audience in stitches during a Q&A session at the Langley International Film Festival (LIFF) on Sunday night.

The event was Jacob’s fi rst public appearance in his hometown after winning the Best Young Actor award at the Critics’ Choice Awards in January.

Since then, he’s also been nominated for best performance by an actor in a leading role at the Canadian Screen Awards, has been featured on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Conan with Conan O’Brien. And on Feb. 28, he will be presenting at the 88th annual Academy Awards.

Audience members at LIFF were treated fi rst to a screening of Room — a dramatic tale of a mother and son’s escape from captivity — followed by a live interview onstage with the star himself.

Even the event moderator, Jake Guy — who is also a Langley ac-tor — couldn’t keep a smile off his face while listening to Jacob’s honest and heartfelt answers.

“What have your friend’s reac-tions been to this awesome stuff you do?” Guy asked, referring to Jacob’s classmates at Lynn Fripps Elementary.

“Sometimes they ask me sil-ly questions like ‘Do you own a yacht’ or ‘Do you own a man-

sion?’” Jacob replied. “Both of those answers are

no. But they don’t really ask me questions like this because, you know, it’s an adult movie so they don’t really see the movie and we’re usually just playing and doing our math quizzes.”

Although it’s been a while since Jacob has been back in Langley, he said he’s excited to be home.

“It feels great to get to actually work in my own hometown,” he said.

“I’ve been doing this for a long time, not here, but in other places, especially California. It’s actually kind of fun to do this here because I get to go straight home.”

“Like a 10 minute drive home?” Guy asked.

“Well not 10 minutes,” Jacob said. “It would probably be like a … three-minute drive.”

By now, Jacob is no stranger to the red carpet, having met many famous people including John-ny Depp — who he said he was most excited about — Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg and Oscar Isaac.

But one of his favourite parts about being a movie star is get-ting served McDonalds and can-dy at the events, he added.

When asked how it feels to win and be nominated for some of the top awards in the acting industry, Jacob said “that feels like the Oscars.”

The crowd burst into laughter once again.

“Do you have any dreams for the future, other than acting?” Guy asked.

“I want to be a director and I want to be a snowboarder, I want to be a soccer player, and that’s all,” Jacob replied.

Members of the audience were also invited to call out questions,

one asking if Jacob’s long hair in Room was his real hair or a wig.

“It was a wig, it does look like real hair. I was surprised, I looked like my little cousin Ana,” he said, pausing as the crowd once again roared.

“Except with brown hair not blonde.”

“Do you ever talk to the wom-an who played your mother?” someone called out.

“I still talk to her (Brie Larson),” Jacob said.

“We would play games, we would talk about cool stuff like Star Wars, and both of our birth-days were in October, so I went to her birthday and she went to my birthday.”

One of Jacob’s dream acting roles is to be in Star Wars, he said. He doesn’t care what char-acter he plays, suggesting may-be he could be an Ewok or Yoda — anything just to be cast.

Having heard of Jacob’s Star Wars obsession, at the end of the interview Guy presented him with a timely gift.

“Because they told me you’re a fan of Star Wars, I got you some Star Wars Band-Aids,” Guy said, handing the small box over to him.

“Just in case you ever paper cut yourself, you can throw a Darth Vader around your fi nger.”

Jacob examined the box and laughed.

“Yeah, that would be funny,” he said.

Room was one of several fi lms shown over the weekend at the inaugural LIFF, a new fundraiser for the Langley School District Foundation.

Also screened were NUMB, Sleeping Giant, Carol, a student montage of short fi lms and Trumbo. Organizers say a second festival will be planned for next year.

Langley actor Jacob Tremblay treated au-

dience members at the Langley Interna-

tional Film Festival to a special Q&A session following

the screening of his fi lm Room on Sun-day night. He was

interviewed onstage by actor Jake Guy.

If you’re hurt in a car accident, your physical injuries may heal fairly quickly. But the accident could also trigger long-lasting psychological injuries – for which you could be entitled to compensation.

In a recent case, Tess (names changed) stood at an intersection one Friday, wait-ing to cross. She was struck by Mike’s speeding car, which ran a red light. The impact lifted Tess off her feet. Her head and shoulders hit the windshield and she flew some 15 feet up in the air, landing about 20 feet away.

ICBC admitted Mike was to blame for the accident, but disagreed that the accident caused Tess’s post-accident psychological difficulties.

Tess’s recollection of the accident was hazy. She was taken to hospital by ambu-lance. Tests were done and she was sent home. The next Monday, Tess went back to work, but due to pain and exhaustion, she took several weeks off. She then worked part-time for several months and took consecutive leaves of absence over the next three years. She mostly did easier and less demanding tasks during this time.

Overall, Tess suffered surprisingly minor physical injuries from the impact. Apart from her head injuries, her body showed some bruising, and she had chest and back pain and neck issues. All her exter-nal physical injuries healed fairly quickly and fully though.

But that wasn’t the case with her psycho-logical injuries. Tess said her “complicat-ed” (or persistent) mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) from the accident led to her three-year leave of absence from work. She also said her personality and ability to function had been impaired, dimming

her future employment prospects too.

ICBC admitted Tess suffered an MTBI from the accident but argued it didn’t lead to permanent or long lasting psy-chological damage – there were other reasons for Tess’s leaves of absence and her current mental condition.

Years before the accident, Tess had worked overseas with young children and found that work very meaningful. When she returned home she regained her pro-fessional credentials but had some read-justment issues. The work here wasn’t as meaningful she felt, and she had trouble coping with her job in the normal prescribed environment even before the accident. ICBC argued it was psychologi-cal issues pre-dating the accident that caused her ongoing difficulties.

The court pointed out that “mild” traumatic brain injury” is a misleading, relative term – it’s really a serious brain injury that can sometimes persist. Tess wasn’t exaggerating her problems after the accident. Her coping skills, energy and performance suffered after the acci-dent. She became irritable, and compared to before, her memory, concentration and mental function were impaired. She also became depressed and socially isolated. The car accident was a cause of these emotional and mental problems, though not the only cause.

The court decided Tess had sustained a complicated MTBI and awarded her about $700,000 in total compensation.

Psychological injuries can net big dollars

Pink Shirt Day will be celebrated today (Feb. 24) and thousands of Canadi-ans are expected to turn schools and businesses into a sea of pink to build awareness about bullying.

This year’s Pink Shirt Day message is “Kindness is one size fi ts all.”

“This year we are focusing on kind-ness. Kindness is universal — a trait we encourage everyone to openly express every day,” said Jen Schaeffers, executive director CKNW Orphans’ Fund.

“We are grateful to have the continued support of London Drugs in our funding of programs across British Columbia and Alberta that teach children the impor-tance of kindness, empathy and compas-sion. Funds raised will go directly to Boys & Girls Clubs in local communities.”

To mark the day, the Township of Lang-ley will light the 200 Street overpass in pink starting on Monday, Feb. 22.

The offi cial Pink Shirt Day T-shirt is now available for $9.80 at 72 London Drugs lo-cations, as well as online at www.pink-shirtday.ca. Net proceeds support CKNW Orphans’ Fund and are distributed to various organizations across B.C. and Alberta.

The programs funded support chil-dren’s healthy self-esteem, both with their peers and themselves. They teach empathy, compassion and kindness.

“Over the past seven years, we at Lon-don Drugs are proud to have raised more than $600,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs in Western Canada through the Pink Shirt Day campaign,” said Clint Mahlman, Lon-don Drugs COO and Executive Vice Pres-ident.

Thousands will wear pink to bring awareness to problem of bullying

Today’s the day to think pink

Canadians are wearing pink today to draw attention to the problem of bullying. Funds raised through the sale of pink shirts at London Drugs will go to charity.

Executive Chef, Parinya Loptson, of Ban Chok Dee Thai Cuisine (at 20563 Douglas Crescent in Langley, BC) has just returned from a six week sabbatical and cooking school tour where she studied modern and traditional Thai cooking and carving techniques with some of the most well-known chefs in Thailand. Her teachers included: Iron Chef (Thai Food) Chumpol Jangprai and Master Carver Arjarn Sopha Samransook of MSC Culinary School; Iron Chef (Innovative Thai) Ian Kittichai of Issaya Cooking Studio; and Chefs Nooror Steppe and Chay Chayakorn of the world-famous Blue Elephant Cooking School. Parinya and her team will be sharing the rewards of this recent trip to Thailand with new dishes and fruit carving presentations at their upcoming Thai New Year Dinner.

Thai New Year, or “Songkran”, follows the Buddhist solar calendar and traditionally runs from April 13th to 15th. For this year’s Thai New Year Dinner on Saturday, April 16th, 2016, Ban Chok Dee Thai Cuisine will be going all-

out to give you a unique dining experience.There will be three periods of delicious Thai dishes, including an ancient Bo-Lan menu not often seen at Thai restaurants in Canada (and only a few in Thailand!) because of the rare andexpensive ingredients combined with the timeand care needed for preparations. For this event,

they are bringing some very rareingredients directly from Thailand!There will also be live cookingdemonstrations of some ancientThai (Bo-Lan) dishes, including:

Khao Kriab Pak-Morh (aka.Steamed Rice Skin Dumplings) - anelegant Royal Thai Delicacy madewith rice fl our batter with pork,shrimp, peanut & sweet radishfi lling.

Som Chun – a traditional Thai summer dessert with seasonal

local fruits served in pandan sugar syrup withjasmine fl ower and a special rare sour orange fl avour (Som-Za). The unique fl avours alsocome from sour mango, ginger and fried onion.

Yum Som O Salad – a refreshing pomelo-citrus salad with crispy catfi sh fl akes,

“I love to help

people discover

Thai cooking for

themselves.”

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

Their set may not be as fl ashy as last year, and their costumes not as complex, but this year, the musical production at Langley Secondary School is “very real.”

The Pajama Game, opening Feb. 26, takes audiences on a journey back to the 1950s at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where the workers are upset with their wages, and a new superinten-dent stuggles with running the factory over falling in love.

Coming on the heels of last year’s successful production of Shrek, this year’s play has a much different feel, said Patti Thorpe, music teacher at LSS.

“This show is all about the people,” she said.

“It’s about relationships and dreams, it doesn’t need to be complicated.”

“Shrek was all about fairy tale creatures and fantasy, and this is very much real. The characters are very real. They speak from the heart — it’s a very down to earth kind of show.”

Based on the novel 7 1/2 Cents

by Richard Pike Bissell, the Broadway production of The Pajama Game won the 1955 Tony Award for Best Musical, and was adapted into a movie starring Doris Day in 1957.

It was the eighth musical on Broadway to exceed 1,000 per-formances in its fi rst run, and has returned to Broadway three times since.

The LSS adaptation features 32 students, including one from HD Stafford Middle School, and a 25-piece community orchestra of volunteers.

Many of the band members return year after year to provide the students with the unique opportunity to perform with live music.

“I literally pay them in cookies … the rest is from the goodness of their hearts,” Thorpe said.

“They are just people in the community that give us this time, and it makes such a rich experience for the kids to per-form with a live band.”

Students from the LSS trades, metal shop, home economics and visual arts programs, along

with many parents, have also helped with building the set in the gymnasium, and creating costumes and props.

Thorpe is particularly proud of the performing student’s dedi-cation to learning choreography, which was originally done by Bob Fosse on Broadway.

“We’ve thrown a lot of songs that have a lot of dancing at them this year, and they’ve really been working very hard at that,” Thorpe said.

“And we have some very young students — some Grade 9s fi lling some major roles — and they’re doing a stunning job.”

This is the tenth production Thorpe has worked on at LSS along with drama teacher Brian

Leonard. They were joined by choreographer Emma Garland, a 2013 LSS grad.

Apart from the dynamic songs and dancing in the musical, the team chose The Pajama Game as this year’s production based on the roles it can provide their students.

“The Pajama Game has a lot of good women roles. And that is always the struggle as a high school music theatre company ... because we have more women who are comfortable singing (and) we have more women who are comfortable dancing,” Thorpe said.

“So The Pajama Game is a great show. We did it a few years ago in a summer program and loved it

then. The music is fun (and) there are some great songs.”

• • •Tina Turner fans have the chance

to see one of the best imperson-ators in the industry at Cascades Casino Summit Theatre.

Luisa Marshall as Tina Turner: A Tribute to the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll is performing tomorrow (Feb. 25).

Marshall is a Vancouver-based

media maven extraor-dinaire. In 1995, while on stage in Dubai, she gave in to the persistent request to wear a wild Tina Turner wig while performing Proud Mary and her internationally

acclaimed, award-winning Tina Turner Tribute show was born.

Her combination of strong vocals and rock ’n’ roll attitude — matched with an astounding re-semblance to the Queen of Rock — brings the house down every time, and also won her the prestigious World Rock and Roll Tribute Artist Championship in 2003.

Marshall has toured for troops overseas, performed on the Oprah Show with Tina Turner and Cher as guests in 2005, and was on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in October, 2015.

Tickets to the show in Langley are $42.50 (plus facility fee and service charges) and are available at Casino Guest Services (604-530-2211) and www.ticketweb.ca.

GARY AHUJATimes Reporter

The magic number for the Walnut Grove Gators was 45.

“We fi gure if we hold them to 45 (points), we will win every game,” said Chris Bertoia, coach of the Gators junior boys bas-ketball team.

The coach’s rationale is that his team — which boasts multi-ple scoring options — should be able to score at least that many points per game.

“We are a small team playing small ball,” he added. “(For us), defence plus rebounding equals a championship.”

And that was true last week as for the second time in school history, the Gators captured the Fraser Valley championship banner.

They did so by allowing an average of 42.2 points per game over their fi ve victories.

Walnut Grove — the top seed — beat No. 15 Pitt Meadows 58-40 in Saturday’s fi nal at Terry Fox Secondary.

The Gators seized control with a 10-0 run in the fi rst quar-ter to lead 14-5. They stretched the lead to 29-15 at the half and were up big, 45-20 after three quarters.

Tournament MVP James Woods led the way with 19 points. The Gators, as they have all season, used a balanced at-tack in the fi nal.

Forward Luke Adams was named a fi rst team all-star.

In the team’s other Fraser Valley games, they beat No. 32 Johnson Heights 58-39 in the opener and then defeated the No. 16 Mountain Eagles 57-39 to make the quarter-fi nals.

And in what Bertoia called the “game of the tournament”, the Gators needed overtime to beat No. 8 North Delta 54-49. The semifi nals saw Walnut Grove defeat No. 5 Yale 56-44.

At the start of the season, Ber-toia knew he had a good team: 11 of the 18 players are in Grade 10 and were part of last year’s squad which fi nished third at provincials.

For the fi rst part of this sea-son, Woods was playing up at the senior level. But once he was sent down to junior, the team has taken its game to an-other level.

“A kid like him makes a huge difference,” Bertoia said, add-ing that when the opposition designs a defence focused on stopping Woods, the guard has

been adept at using his passing skills to set up teammates.

Overall, the Gators are 29-1 heading into the provincial championships at the Langley Events Centre.

Bertoia — in his fi rst year as coach with Walnut Grove — said a large part of the team’s suc-cess comes from his assistant coaches, former Gators players Alfonso Ocampo and Gracjan Nokakowski.

The provincial tournament begins on Saturday (Feb. 27) and runs until March 1.

Walnut Grove, which is seed-ed second in the fi eld of 32, will be one of two Langley teams in the fi eld as they are joined by the Brookswood Bobcats.

The ’Cats open against No. 1 Handsworth on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Walnut Grove faces St. Thomas More at 1 p.m. in their opening game.

Bertoia felt that Mountain could very easily have been a provincial-calibre team — they were eliminated with the loss to Walnut Grove — but the team did not get a very good seeding heading into Fraser Valleys.

“Their coaches have bought that team a long, long way,” Ber-toia said.

GARY AHUJATimes Reporter

It is no coincidence Brookswood Bobcats coach Neil Brown has a soft spot for defence.

As a high school play-er back in the day, Brown wasn’t much on the offen-sive end of the fl oor but made his presence known on the defensive side of the ball.

But in basketball, defence doesn’t get the same cred-it as is the case in other sports, such as football and hockey.

“On defence, you have to take charges, you have to work your (butt) off … and everyone is cheering for the kid who is scoring points,” Brown explained.

“It takes a fan that really knows the game to appre-ciate what (Julia) Marshall, (Tavia) Jasper and (Mana) Katori really do.

“We call Marshall, Katori and Tavia Jasper the Killer D’s; they go out and literally shut people down.”

The trio played a signif-icant role in helping the Bobcats win their second straight Fraser Valley 3A senior girls basketball pro-vincial championship on Saturday night.

The ’Cats crushed the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 83-52.

And the win was reminis-cent of Brookswood’s other two victories at the Fras-er Valley championships: a strong defensive effort

leading the way.Brookswood beat MEI 94-

28 in the quarter-fi nals and Riverside 63-27 in the semi-fi nals.

And these opponents were no slouches, either.

“All three of those teams are ranked in the top 10, so to hold teams of that cal-ibre to that low of a point total is a credit to how hard the kids worked,” Brown said.

In their other games at the Valley championships, Riverside averaged 79 points, Lord Tweedsmuir scored 74 points per game and MEI had 58 points per game.

Against Brookswood, they managed a meagre 35.7 points per game.

Brookswood entered the season ranked No. 1 — they were the defending provin-cial champions — but the roster lacked experience below its top three players (Aislinn Konig, Louise For-syth and Marshall).

“All the other kids had played junior or not played much,” the coach said.

“But these kids have done a fantastic job. All these kids have gone from not playing a lot to play-ing major minutes for the No. 1 team in the toughest games.

“We always thought we would start off a little slow but would start to build by the end of the year, but we didn’t realize we would be that good that quick.”

The ’Cats have lost just three games all season and two of those came when Konig and Forsyth were back east for a Basketball Canada evaluation camp.

Konig was named the most valuable player at Fra-ser Valleys while Forsyth was a fi rst team all-star.

Brookswood will now pre-pare for the B.C. 3A senior girls provincial champion-ships at the Langley Events Centre. The championships run March 2 to 5.

•••The Walnut Grove Ga-

tors have qualifi ed for the B.C. 4A senior boys provin-cial championships next month.

The Gators — the top seed at the Fraser Valley champi-

onships — cruised to a 123-51 win over No. 16 Sardis on Friday in their fi rst game and then punched their ticket to provincials with a 101-53 win over No. 8 North Surrey on Monday.

Both games were played at Walnut Grove Secondary.

Walnut Grove will play the No. 4 Mouat Hawks to-morrow (Thursday) night at Heritage Woods Second-ary and then play for either gold or bronze on Friday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The third-place game is at 7 p.m. and the champi-onship game follows at 8:45 p.m.

The provincial champion-ships run March 9 to 12 at the LEC.

The Thompson Rivers WolfPack stand in the way of the Trinity West-ern Spartans.

The Spartans women’s volleyball team hosts the WolfPack in a best-of-three Canada West quarter-fi nal series at the Langley Events Centre.

Games one and two are on Thurs-day and Friday, and game three, if necessary, would be Saturday. All three matches begin at 7 p.m.

The Spartans were third in the regular season at 20-4 while the WolfPack was sixth at 12-12.

And the teams should be quite familiar to one another, having just played earlier this month in Kam-loops with the team trading four-set victories.

The Spartans are coming off an-other split as they closed the regular season by beating UBC 3-1 on Friday night before the T-Birds bounced back to win 3-0 the following night. Both games were at the LEC.

“UBC adjusted from yesterday and made some very good adjustments that we didn’t respond to and they played a very good game,” said Spar-tans coach Ryan Hofer. “I’m going to give full credit to UBC for how they played, but we lacked a little bit of fi ght tonight.

“We’re one of the best block-ing teams in the country and we weren’t able to utilize that the way we normally do. We’re going to get back to work and we’re going to fi x some stuff and we’re going to get better.”

Elly Wendel led the Spartans with 13 kills while Nikki Cornwall had 25 assists in UBC’s straight sets 3-0 (25-17, 25-11, 25-15) victory.

In Friday’s 3-1 (19-25, 25-21, 25-16, 29-27) win, Wendel had 21 kills while Kristin Anton had seven blocks and Mariel Garcia had 14 digs.

The 20 victories mark a program best for TWU.

Walnut Grove Gators’ Jessica Wisotzki loses the handle on the ball during a drive to the net against the Mouat Hawks in second round action at the Fras-er Valley junior girls basketball championships last week. The Gators fi nished second at the Valley championships and both Walnut Grove and Brookswood will compete at next week’s B.C. junior girls provincial championships at the Langley Events Centre.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

Brookswood Bobcats’ Karsen Look goes up for the shot in traffi c during her team’s 52-15 win over El-gin Park in the opening round of the Fraser Valley junior girls basketball championships last week. The ’Cats entered and exited the tournament seed-ed fourth.


Gators fall short in fi nalsGARY AHUJATimes Reporter

No coach or team ever likes to lose. But perhaps losing in the Fraser Valley fi nals can be a blessing in dis-guise for the Walnut Grove Gators junior girls basketball team.

The Gators fell 56-54 on Saturday in the championship game to the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers. It was the third meeting between the two squads but the fi rst time Walnut Grove was on the wrong end of the score.

The fi nal three days of the championships were held at Maple Ridge Secondary.

“I think it shows that we have some stuff to do before the B.C.’s,” said Walnut Grove coach Darren Rowell.

“It gives us some fo-cus on things we need to work on.”

Twice in the game, the Gators were up fi ve points, but by the sec-ond half, they trailed the Panthers by seven points. Walnut Grove would tie things up with about two min-utes to go but the Ga-tors gave up an easy lay-up for what turned out to be the winning points.

Part of the problem in the game was foul troubles which forced the Gators to alter their usual game strategy.

But second place in the Fraser Valley is still a signifi cant accom-plishment.

Rowell helped coached part of the team last year as Grade 8s as they went unde-feated and won the provincial title. What Rowell didn’t know was what he had in the returning junior players.

“We feel great where we are as a junior team,” Rowell said.

The Gators were the top seed at Fraser Valleys and they beat Charles Best 68-15 and W.J. Mouat 62-21 in the fi rst two rounds.

In the quarter-fi nals, Walnut Grove beat Sardis 75-47 and then beat Brookswood 63-

44 in the semifi nals before losing to No. 2 Lord Tweedsmuir.

The loss was just the Gators’ third in 38 games.

Tavia Rowell and Alex Tadic both earned all-stars, as did Brook-swood’s Jenna Dick.

The ’Cats entered Fraser Valleys fourth and exited with the same ranking.

“The team has come a long way this season and fi nishing fourth in the Fraser Valleys speaks to the hard work and dedication that the team has put in throughout the en-tire year to improve,” said coach Brian Smith.

Brookswood beat El-gin Park 52-15 in the opening round and then eliminated Lang-ley Christian in the round of 16 50-32. They defeated Maple Ridge 40-24 in the quarter-fi -nals.

Both Walnut Grove and Brookswood will play at the B.C. junior girls provincial bas-ketball championships March 2-5 at the Lang-ley Events Centre.

Assistant coach Kaleb Toth had a simple message for his team.

“Before we went out there for overtime, (he) said there is no such thing as a bad shot in OT,” said Van-couver Stealth’s Corey Small.

“Our offence was feeling it and it was nice to see the ball just cross the line.”

Small took a pass from Logan Schuss and un-leashed a shot from the middle of the fl oor that beat Roughnecks goalie Mike Poulin between the legs, the ball sneaking through and trickling over the goal-line before he could clear it.

The goal capped off a wild, 14-13 come-from-be-hind victory over the visiting Calgary Roughnecks in National Lacrosse League action at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night.

The win improved Vancouver to 3-4 while Calgary fell to 3-5.

The Roughnecks led 6-0 after one quarter, 8-3 at the half and 12-6 with three minutes to play in the third quarter. But the Stealth scored four times in a 83-second span to close the quarter and then struck for four goals in the fourth quarter to take an im-probable 13-12 lead.

Calgary’s Reilly O’Connor would force overtime with the tying goal with nine seconds to play but the Roughnecks failed to score on their opening posses-sion of overtime, setting the stage for Small’s heroics.

“We have a special group of guys in the dressing room that never gave up and they should be proud of what they accomplished,” said Stealth coach Dan Perreault.

Rhys Duch (four goals, four assists), Garrett Billings (two goals, six assists) and Logan Schuss (one goal, seven assists) each had eight points for Vancouver while Small and Jordan Durston fi nished with three goals and fi ve points apiece. Joel McCready rounded out the scoring with a goal and two helpers.

Tyler Richards relieved Eric Penney in the fi rst quarter and fi nished with 31 saves on 40 shots.

Vancouver is on the road on Saturday against the NLL’s top team, the Colorado Mammoth (6-2).

MOHRCarol Fay (nee McLennan)

February 12, 1956 - February 11, 2016

We are saddened to announce the passing of Carol on Thursday February 11th, one day before her 60th birthday.She is survived by her husband of nearly 38 years, Ed, her three children, Andrew, Lisa, Jennifer, her fi ve grandchildren, her sister Kim Johnson, brother Grant McLennan and many cousins, nieces, nephews and in-laws.

Carol and Ed met when they were 14 and married when they were 21. They shared a love of all music especially the blues, which they instilled in their children. Carols view of raising kids by always listening to what they had to say, to be sure that they felt validated, was the same way that she approached everyone. Her kind thoughtful words will be missed.Aside from her love of family, music and dogs, she had a passion for genealogy and was brilliant at fi nding information when nobody else could and she was always more than willing to help anyone in their research.

She always told us “when I go, have a good cry and move on”. Carol we will, but it’ll never be the same without you.

You will always be in our hearts and memories.There will be no service, only a small private family gathering to celebrate her life. She is to be cremated and her ashes to be spread in the place she loved most in this world.

In lieu of fl owers donations can be made to the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) or the Canadian Red Cross.

I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option. She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue! Rebekah Crowley

Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John

We bought a Nissan Juke and had a wonderful buying experience at Jonkers. Our salesman Mr. Vonn Chan is not pushy and very knowledgeable. We shopped around and Vonn gave us the best deal! Aileen Mendozae

Rena was amazing! She knew all the answers to the many questions… We ended up with the Pathfinder and because she was so thorough we didn’t have any questions at the end. Rena made us feel that our business really mattered to her. We didn’t feel like just another sale which is so nice. This is our 3rd Nissan and we know why! Lisae

We were looking to buy a sedan, we called several dealers including Jonker Nissan. The salesman on the phone was very friendly and polite. We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day. We were more impressed with his professionalism and how he took care of us, so we bought a brand new Sentra from him. Thank you so much Vonn. Mr. & Mrs. Gill

Rena was fantastic and made it feel like a family environment which allowed us to make a confident as well as educated decision in our first family vehicle. Jesse
