Review backs BCAS priority shiftParamedics union says cost control behind new policyJeff NagelBlack Press

An external review has endorsed B.C.’s contentious reallocation of ambulance service in favour of the most urgent cases.

Burnaby is among several Lower Mainland cities, fire departments and their unions that have denounced the changes introduced in November, saying dozens of categories of calls have been downgraded to slower responses, resulting in extreme waits of more than an hour in some cases. Ambulances now head to many of the downgraded calls without the lights and sirens they used in the past, a change that’s expected to reduce the risk of crashes with other motorists.

B.C. Emergency Health Services contends the longer waits have averaged just 10 minutes slower in the Lower Mainland, but have enabled slightly faster ambulance responses to critical emergencies where extra seconds can save lives.

Rick McGowan has dozens of neighbours in his Metrotown condo building. But he barely knows any of them.

He’d like to change that by establishing a community garden and compost demonstration project on an empty lot owned by the City of Burnaby on Halley Avenue.

The city acquired the lot, and another adjacent to it off Chaffey Avenue, years ago with the intent of

extending Sardis Street through to Chaffey.

But in 2008, when residents objected to a proposed townhouse development to be built next to the road, the plan was scuttled.

In 2012, Burnaby council decided it would subdivide the lots to put a public pathway linking Halley and Chaffey and sell off the rest to a developer to build a couple of

single-family homes or duplexes.But McGowan thinks what his

neighbourhood, situated just north of Grange and west of Willingdon, really needs is a place to gather, get their hands dirty and meet their

neighbours.“It’s a place for people to talk and

just enjoy nature and understand where their food comes from,” said McGowan.

Andrew Couzens passes plenty of community gardens when he rides his bike to work along the B.C. Parkway. They make him smile. And long for the chance to grow his own carrots, lettuce, spinach, kale and strawberries.

While the residents in his condo complex, right next to the city lots, are already close-knit, they don’t really have an outdoor space where they can gather casually and catch-up, or share a common interest.

Aiming to grow community at Metrotown

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERRick McGowan and Andrew Couzens are hoping to convince the City of Burnaby to turn an empty lot it owns on Halley Avenue into a space for community gardens and compost demonstration area rather than selling it to a developer for construction of a single-family home.

And with so many young families in the area, a community garden would be a good place to teach city kids about where their food comes from.

“You have to start young to get people to care about their food,” said Couzens.

McGowan agrees a garden could have a huge educational benefit.In a proposal he submitted to the community development

committee he said using the garden as a pilot project to demonstrate and teach residents how to properly compost their food scraps would go a long way to helping the city achieve its zero-waste goals..

That’s especially important for the residents of the many strata buildings in the neighbourhood that have been less-than-enthusiastic about implementing the multi-family food scraps program that was launched in 2012.

“Some stratas are concerned about problems with odours, flies and rats, while others are simply waiting for the city to enforce compliance with the program,” said McGowan.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERLisa Codd, the curator at Burnaby Village Museum, is ready to call action on a new display about the film production industry in Burnaby, from old TV series to contemporary blockbuster movies. The display is in the Stride Studio and will run in conjunction with programming throughout the season.

Mario [email protected]

They’re the names most movie-goers wouldn’t recognize.

If they even stick around in the dark theatre long enough to see them scroll by.

But Burnaby Village Museum is putting these “below the line” craftsmen and artisans who build sets, rig lights, gather props and sew costumes for movies and TV series shot in Burnaby into the spotlight in At the Movies, the centrepiece of its new season that opened on Saturday.

Lisa Codd, the museum’s curator, said there’s about 2,500 people employed in the film industry in Burnaby, which has evolved over the years from a backwater where only the occasional low-budget Canadian TV show was shot, to a tax-credit haven, to a destination for blockbuster productions because of the infrastructure and skilled people in place.

Some of that evolution is told

in the artifacts, photographs and memorabilia displayed at Stride Studios.

Many of the items are on loan from the people who made them, including veteran prop master

Jimmy Chow, whose work can be seen in films like Fantastic Four, X-Men, Little Women, Seven

Years in Tibet and Watchmen. “It’s not about producing

movies,” said Codd. “It’s about the people.

They’re really artists in their own way.”

Another display in the village’s real estate office tells the story about attending movies in Burnaby, with photos and objects from the city’s many theatres ranging from the silent era to drive-ins.

The Central Park Theatre, modelled after a 1920s style movie house, will also show archival film footage of Burnaby as well as a film series curated by Graham X Peat, the cofounder of Videomatica, once Western Canada’s largest independent video store.

Throughout the spring and summer season there will also be live demonstrations by stunt people, special effects masters and make-up artists.

Burnaby resident Kim Doerksen won the women’s race in the BMO Vancouver Marathon Sunday beating her personal best by 40 minutes.

The 23-year-old native of Gibsons, B.C. finished the 42.2-kilometre race in two hours, 36 minute and 59 seconds.

Doerksen had run marathons twice before in 2011 and 2012, but this is the first race she seriously trained for, according to local media reports.

She trains with the Vancouver Falcons Athletic Club and is a kinesiology student at Simon Fraser University.

The report by Alan Craig, the retired deputy chief of Toronto Emergency Services, says the BCEHS Resource Allocation Plan takes a “careful and prudent approach” based on actual medical evidence that matches global best practices and is “superior” to the priority systems used in many major jurisdictions.

It agrees the lights-and-siren response carries serious risk to both paramedics and the public and should be limited to just the most urgent incidents.

It also says the public needs to better understand that very few patients from 911 calls need to be rushed to hospital.

The science of emergency medicine is rapidly evolving, Craig’s report says, overturning key assumptions over the past decade.

Short response times, with fire department first responders further shortening them, are no longer considered worthwhile in virtually all cases, he said.

The report says emergency doctors now agree that short response times improve patient outcomes in less than one per cent of cases – just ones involving cardiac arrest and patients unable to breathe.

BCEHS insists its changes have improved, not hurt overall patient outcomes.

While the provincial government department maintains the ambulance response changes are not about saving money, the external review suggests there is a link.

Craig’s report said the public should also understand that “fixed response times for other than the most critical incidents are a major driver of EMS system costs, particularly as demand for service continues to rise.”

Bronwyn Barter, president of the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C., said she believes the changes are aimed at containing the ambulance service budget at least.

“This is a money issue and a resource issue,” Barter said. “The call volume has been increasing in the province and the resources have remained the same. We do view this as a tactic to do more with less.”

The union head said front-line paramedics believe too many calls are now downgraded from code 3 with lights-and-siren to routine.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis was critical of the external review, saying Craig’s work guided development of the BCEHS Resource Allocation Plan and he can’t be considered an unbiased expert.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has ordered a new trial for a Burnaby couple accused of drug trafficking after it ruled the search warrant for their home violated their rights.

Both Zhen Qian Liu and Ngoc Oanh Le were convicted of two counts of possession of a controlled substance—cocaine and heroin—for the purpose of trafficking. They appealed their convictions on several grounds including that the “information to obtain” (ITO) was inadequate to issue the search warrant for their Burnaby home.

The search of their Metrotown-area condo and storage space at 6240 McKay Ave. led to the discovery and seizure of about 740 grams of cocaine, 140 grams of heroin and $45,000 cash.

The police investigation of Liu, Le and Petros Soiles, started with information provided by police informants, B.C. Appeal Court Justice Nicole Garson said in her reasons for judgment. Several informants stated Soiles—who was also convicted of possession for the purpose of trafficking—was trafficking drugs on behalf of Le.

In applying for the search warrant, police cited police surveillance that showed Liu and Le repeatedly visiting Soiles’ home, a condo at 131 Regiment Square in downtown Vancouver.

Le’s lawyer argued the search warrant was nothing more than a “fishing expedition,” Garson said. On the other hand, Crown prosecutors argued that “by the process of elimination, the

drugs had to be at McKay Avenue.” The appeal court disagreed, siding with Liu and Le.

Garson noted the police did not see the accused leave their McKay Avenue home before visiting Regiment Square. It’s an important point as the police theory was the drugs were stored at McKay and delivered to the other address.

The ITO filed in support of the search warrant “did not disclose a basis on which the issuing justice could conclude that there was a reasonable probability drugs were being stored at the McKay Avenue residence,” Garson wrote.

A new trial was deemed appropriate because at the original trial, the two sides agreed on an “unconventional process.” That is, if the defence succeeded at the time (which it did not) in a voir dire to have the search warrant deemed unlawful, a further voir dire would be held to decide whether the evidence found in the search would be excluded from the trial.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establishment.

The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end.

Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs.

Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20% of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school.

“Not only are there kids who

don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wander through university campuses before going into politics.

A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry.

“We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts.

One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister.

Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess.

“Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,” McDonald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.”

The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advisory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs.

The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for

rescuing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations.

That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies.

Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education.

It’s about time.

‘Vocational school’ back in style

The temporary foreign worker program is unfair to Canadian and foreign workers.

This controversy has been an ongoing issue for more than two years. It reared its head again last month when three Victoria McDonald’s Restaurant locations had hired foreign workers in place of Canadians. In response, Employment Minister Jason Kenney suspended the food industry’s access to the program, pending a review, amid allegations of rule breaking.

It’s easy to suggest the federal government should let free market forces of supply and demand address shortfalls in the labour market.

The only problem is Canada doesn’t have enough workers and the situation is only going to get worse without opening the doors to more immigrants.

At the moment, one in six Canadian employers is reporting “shortage of un/semi-skilled labour” as a major business problem; nearly a third are reporting “shortage of skilled labour.” Unemployment is near or below what is conventionally considered “zero” in every province west of Ontario (and that’s after the foreign workers have raised those unemployment rates a percentage point, as one recent study suggests).

The simplistic solution to the problem is to raise the minimum wage to encourage Canadians to line up and take those jobs, but that won’t wash well with business owners, nor will it help in the long term.

As Canadians age (watch out, the Baby Boomers are beginning to retire), the need for more workers and tax dollars will be needed more than ever to keep the country afloat.

Those who say “Canadian jobs are for Canadians” are right, but what if there aren’t enough Canadians to fill those jobs—or want jobs?

Immigration is the only answer.—Victoria News

COMMENTRe: Why do we gather paper, then ship it abroad? (NewsLeader, April 18)

Thank you Rick McGowan for asking the question about why we gather paper and then ship it abroad for recycling.

I agree that “…with appropriate incentives governments could foster a local reprocessing industry…” and should.

Here’s a brilliant thought: what if we eliminated subsidies to oil, gas and mining mega-corporations and instead offered incentives to local reprocessing, solar energy, and other truly sustainable initiatives?

Oh, but I forget—then the rich would quit getting richer. Off our taxes.

And we can’t upset the apple cart like that, now can we?

U.S. TO BE KNOCKED OFF PEDESTRAL

The Second World War turned most of Europe and much of Asia into rubble.

One clear winner—the United States—emerged from that war.

Using the Bretton Woods institutions, the U.S. became the world’s banker. The U.S. rebuilt Western Europe and Japan. But not Russia. Russia rebuilt itself, as did China. The U.S. did other great things, such as putting people in space and on the moon. For several decades, life was just one big party, notwithstanding the threat of nuclear Armageddon.

Where the U.S. let us all down in a big way was, instead of investing the vast wealth at its disposal in developing a sustainable future, it invested in a kleptocracy. Over the past 70 years, more and more wealth has been transferred into the hands of fewer and fewer people. As long as the parasites were few in number and the host was strong, nobody noticed. But as the host got weaker, it became necessary to run ever more extravagant Ponzi schemes simply in order to keep the system running.

Today the U.S. is bankrupt. This can be seen by its huge trade deficit and national debt. The reason the creditors have

not foreclosed yet is that the U.S. remains the world’s banker. Dollars are no longer backed by any material goods, so they are nothing more than scrip, but they appear to have value as long as we keep buying into the Ponzi schemes.

Calling in the markers will result in the collapse of the dollar currency. This will wipe out the U.S. economy, of course, but it will also hurt the creditors who are holding the markers. Nevertheless, in the past decade or so, several nations have attempted to set up an alternate currency.

Iraq tried it first and got bombed into rubble. Then Libya tried it and got bombed into rubble.

Enter the Ukraine crisis. Russia sees the crisis in Ukraine as an existential threat. Russia acted to protect its self-interest, and will continue to do so.

The U.S. is not going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. Russia is heavily armed and extremely dangerous. Instead, the U.S. threatens sanctions. Unfortunately, Putin has more resources available than just military force. He knows the U.S. is just like an old tiger that can only catch rabbits. He knows the U.S. is bankrupt.

So he turns to China and says, “Let’s set up a new world bank.” China is happy to oblige. The U.S. is going to be knocked off its pedestal entirely, and all nations strongly linked to the U.S. are in for a world of hurt.

If this were a poker game, it would be funny. Unfortunately, our lives hang in the balance.

Doctors insist therapy a life saver for infected patientsJeff NagelBlack Press

Fraser Health has halted plans for an unusual treatment of implanting feces into patients threatened by potentially deadly infections after the federal government objected.

Fecal transplants are thought to be a way to introduce healthy gut bacteria that can crowd out and replace dangerous bacteria such as C. difficile. Stool from healthy patients can be added via enema or a tube down the throat.

Doctors at Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals were to provide the therapy to patients whose recurring C. difficile infections haven’t been cured by antibiotics

and have battled chronic diarrhea.

The physicians have argued fecal transplants are effective and could have saved the lives of multiple patients who died of C. difficile infections at Lower Mainland hospitals in recent years.

Health Canada, which considers the treatment investigational, recently stated it can only be performed within clinical trials, which it has authorized in other provinces but not in B.C.

Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, medical director of infection prevention and control at Fraser Health, said Fraser has put the pilot project on hold in response but she still strongly supports the concept.

“We are fully committed to bringing this procedure to our patients in the near future as we know it can save lives,” Brodkin said in an emailed

statement.Fraser didn’t

believe fecal transplants would be considered an experimental drug limited to clinical trials until it

got notification from Ottawa.

“We aren’t considering a clinical trial for this procedure, as we feel there have been sufficient clinical trials to show that this treatment is safe and effective,” Brodkin said.

She said the health authority first confirmed the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. had no objection to physicians using the treatment.

Brodkin points to

a European trial that was halted early after it cured 94 per cent of C. difficile diarrhea sufferers compared to 27 per cent for the powerful antibiotic vancomycin.

The findings, reported in early 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded it was significantly more effective than antibiotics – three to four times more likely to cure the infection.

Fraser Health’s first fecal transplant was performed in 2010 at Burnaby Hospital by Dr. Jeanne Keegan-Henry.

Fraser Health’s own newsletter hailed Keegan-Henry for pioneering the procedure in an article titled “The S**t Disturber.”

It recounted how she bought a blender, labelled it ‘Don’t use for food’ and churned up a diluted mix of a

healthy donor’s feces that she then implanted via colonoscopy into a C. difficile patient who was near death.

A second implant was performed a year later by Maple Ridge Dr. Ed Auersperg but officials ordered a halt as they hadn’t been approved.

The health authority reconsidered the issue last year and decided to pursue the new pilot. Donors would have been screened to prevent the spread of

diseases – the main cost of the procedure.

Keegan-Henry told the newsletter the “ewww” factor is the main objection, but not usually from patients.

“By the time you’ve had diarrhea for two to three months, if someone says ‘I’m going to do something absolutely disgusting to you and within an hour you will stop having diarrhea and you may never have it again’ you’d be surprised how

little resistance there is.”She described

the fecal implants as a “cheap and easy” fix to an awful “heartbreaking” disease that incapacitates victims for months and kills some of them.

“I don’t have any doubts this will save lives.”

Fecal transplants have gained attention in recent years as a potential treatment for other intestinal disorders as well.

Fraser Health halts planned fecal transplants

Lactating mothers are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help others who aren’t able to breast-feed their own babies.

Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mission, Langley, Cloverdale, Guildford, North Surrey, New Westminster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.

Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those locations.

It’s transported to the provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, processed and pasteurized.

Most of the donated milk goes to feed premature and sick babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection.

“With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we are asking all breast-feeding moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile patients by donating their breast milk,” said Fraser Health project development nurse Sidney Harper.

A devastating bowel disease called necrotizing enterocolitis

is much more common in premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk.

Mothers in some cases struggle to provide milk or aren’t permitted to as a result of illness or medications they use.

Fraser Health plans to open dispensaries at Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals to store and provide the donor human milk.

Frances Jones, coordinator of the provincial milk bank at B.C. Women’s, said the aim is to meet all requests for donor milk from the NICUs at Surrey and Royal Columbian. For more information on how to donate see bcwomensmilkbank.ca.

Unique ideas for Mother’s DayWhether she’s still hard at work raising children

or her kids have grown up and now have children of their own, Mom deserves our best efforts come Mother’s Day.

And while traditional gifts like flowers and chocolate might make for thoughtful Mother’s

Your Mom may love a Broadway show, but locally the Arts Club Theatre Company offers some fantastic productions, including Monty Python’s Spamalot, Red Rock Diner and Kim’s Convenience.

Day gifts, those who want to go the extra mile for Mom this year can consider the following unique gift ideas.

ConCert tiCkets

Many adults recall the days of their youth when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favorite music on a lazy summer afternoon.

Why not take a stroll down Memory Lane and take Mom to see one of her favourite acts in concert?

Even if you have outgrown Mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the town with her kids and some good music.

theatre tiCkets

If Mom is a fan of live theatre then nothing will elicit a bigger smile than tickets to a Broadway show she has had her eyes on. If Broadway is a bit too far, why not get her tickets to one of the many high-calibre productions offered locally?

MOTHER’S D Y


Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honour all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family.

Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants.

With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal.

Book early ... very early

To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mother’s Day. It’s never too early to put your name on the reservation list. Don’t forget Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11, 2014.

expect to wait

Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained.

consider dining a day Before or after

Restaurants are generally packed on Mother’s Day, and as a result kitchen and

wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day.

Hire a sitter for young kids

Although Mother’s Day is a chance for the entire family to spend time together, the main goal is to ensure Mom’s comfort and happiness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal. Infants will need to be fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted. Have a sitter watch little ones when adults are dining out, then Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns home.

take-out is an option

Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out.

Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she’ll have that option.

expect an included gratuity

Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother’s Day.

The standard gratuity rate is 18 per cent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary.

Roberts to play for ClanAlisha Roberts is coming home.The Burnaby-raised point guard has decided to

leave Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., to play her final two seasons of collegiate eligibility on Burnaby Mountain for Simon Fraser University

Roberts joined the Wave in the fall of 2012. She played in 24 games her freshman season starting five consecutive matches at the beginning of West Coast Conference play. She had a career high nine points in a win over the University of San Francisco in the conference opener. Her first collegiate career points came against the UCLA Bruins, ranked No. 17 in NCAA Division I at the time.

In her second season, Pepperdine’s overall record was 6-25. Roberts played in 18 games, but did not start any of them, averaging two points per game.

“I had an awesome rookie year at Pepperdine, adjusting very well from high school to the highly rigourous and demanding NCAA league. My sophomore year came with its challenges but I continued to adjust and get better. Now I am blessed to play for my home university that is steeped in a winning tradition. I couldn’t ask for much more. I am ready and cannot wait to be a member of the Clan,” Roberts said in a SFU press release.

Roberts played high school hoop at York House, a private school in Vancouver leading the Tigers to a fourth-place finish at the provincial AA championship in 2011 and a AAA Lower Mainland title in 2012.

“I have grown up around the SFU campus, attending SFU camps from a very early age, so the attraction has always been there,” said Roberts. “If I had not chosen to go south of the border, SFU would have been my first choice, so I am so happy to be coming back home. SFU is also very special to me for one other reason. The last camp I attended here was courtesy of a very special friend, Nicole Eidsvik, that has since succumbed to cancer. I would love to dedicate

my first year at SFU to her fighting spirit and memory.”

Roberts’ older sisters Lisa and Norma-Jean played for the New Westminster Hyacks which their father Norm co-coached. They went on to play for Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont.

“Alisha had a solid high school career in B.C. both at York House and on the B.C. provincial team,” said SFU head coach Bruce Langford. “Now she has two years of ball in California so it is great to add a player with that type of exposure. On the court she brings a fiery competitiveness, shoots the three well, and has high expectations for herself, all qualities that we value. Being older has big advantages as she has a wealth of experience which will make us all better.”

pepperdine universityBurnaby’s Alisha Roberts will play for SFU next season after spending two years at Pepperdine University.
