Members of the New Westminster unionrepresenting support workers in schoolsvoted 95 per cent in favour of a contract thatreimburses wages lost during the ongoingteachers’ strike.

CUPE Local 409 president MarcelMarsolais said the contract, which the unionvoted on Monday afternoon, includes a“framework agreement support grant” tooffset the cost of lost work from the ongoinglabour dispute, which at this point has noend in sight.

“The grant is in place to make all of ourmembers (whole) if they are affected by astrike or walkout till 2017, if that’s how longthis dispute lasts,” said Marsolais.

The pay reimbursement will go back asfar to job action that started in May and goesforward indefinitely, the union presidenttold The Record.

Soccer proposal foes and friends pack meetingWith a decision about a pro soccer plan

anticipated to be made in less than a week,Monday was game day for friends and foesof the proposal.

About 200 people carried posters andmarched from Queen’s Park to city hall onMonday night to rally against a pro soccerproposal being considered for the stadium.Soon after, residents packed a council meet-ing at the Queensborough CommunityCentre and shared their thoughts on theproposal that would see the VancouverWhitecaps bring a United Soccer Leaguepro team to the city starting next spring.

About two-thirds of the speakers sup-ported the application, saying it is a great

opportunity for kids, families and localbusinesses.

Bill Currey, a representative of Friendsof Soccer, said Queen’s Park has a longhistory of use by professional sport teams.He said the 2,000 seats in Queen’s ParkStadium stand empty hundreds of days ayear, and the proposal offers a great way topreserve the facility.

“There is no reason for there to be win-ners and losers,” he said. “It can be a com-plete win-win for both sides.”

As part of the proposal, the city wouldcreate an alternate field for baseball, eitherin Queen’s or Hume park.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC have signeda memorandum of understanding to worktoward launching a United Soccer Leaguesfranchise in New Westminster. They are

working to a Sept. 15 application deadlinefrom the league, which would allow theclub to launch its first season in March 2015at Queen’s Park Stadium.

Sapperton resident Barry Walker saidit’s important for young players to havethe opportunity to play. He said a USL profranchise would give local kids somethingto aspire to.

Joe Beck believes it would be an assetfor the city.

“It is a city that has grown,” he said.“I think the opportunity to bring this clubhere is another step in the right direction.”

Many residents are concerned they’vebeen unable to get enough information toproperly assess the proposal and determineits merits and impacts on the city. No newinformation was presented Monday night.

While very little financing informationhas been disclosed about the proposal,West End resident Elmer Rudolph saidthe alterations proposed to Queen’s ParkStadium would cost several million dollarsand several million more dollars wouldbe needed to build a new baseball parkfor teams currently playing ball on thestadium’s field. He said the city is askingtaxpayers to finance this venture withoutproviding information about how much itis going to cost, the financial risks or whatthe true impacts on Queen’s Park.

“You are saying, ‘trust us,’” he said.“I am sorry, that is just not good enough.Among other things, I need to see are anarchitectural model of how the park will

A downtown resident is urging city hall toconsider the needs of people who are visuallyimpaired before someone “takes a header” andgets hurt.

Janet Taylor would like the city to ensurethat light signals in the downtown are equippedwith audible sounds such as beeps, as they helppeople with visual impairments to safely crossthe street. Earlier this summer, she appearedbefore city council to express concern about thetraffic signal at the crosswalk at Columbia andFourth streets.

“It doesn’t beep, it doesn’t do anything,”she said. “It’s extremely difficult when you arevisually impaired.”

Since her appearance before council in July,Taylor has learned the city will be makingimprovements to that light signal as part of theoverpass that’s being built into WestminsterPier Park. She’d like the city to consider addi-tional improvements in the area to make thearea safer for people with visual impairments,such as installing a beeping feature in the cross-walk in front of the Army and Navy depart-ment store.

Taylor also expressed concern that devices atFourth and Columbia aimed at calming trafficare hazardous to people with vision impair-ments. She suggested they be painted becausevisually impaired people can’t see the greydevices against the grey road.

“It is very difficult for a visually impairedperson to see,” she said. “I have asked they bepainted … so no one takes a header.”

Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineer-ing services, said staff are aware of the issueand are looking into the situation. He said theywere intended to serve as a barrier betweenmotor vehicles and pedestrians.

“We are looking at that closely,” he said. “Weare looking at what best practices are for mak-

ing those more visible.”Taylor, who has macular degeneration,

walks with the assistance of a cane. Her hus-band is also legally blind.

“Uptown is fine – every last one of themis beeping,” she said of the light signals. “TheQuay is also fine. What about us at this end ofNew West?”

More beeping lights neededSafety first:Janet Taylor atthe corner ofColumbia andFourth streets.Taylor, whois visuallyimpaired, isasking the cityto do moreto make thedowntownsafer forpeople withvisual impair-ments.

Soccer: City is getting more informationlook after these major changes.

Rudolph said the timeline is “completelyunrealistic” for making a decision. He askedthe city to delay the process.

“What I am opposed to is it being rammeddown my throat through some imposed dead-line,” he said.

Bob Lenarduzzi, president and CEO of theVancouver Whitecaps FC, said the feasibil-ity study about the proposal hasn’t been com-pleted. He suggested the economic impact andcommunity profile of having a USL team “canonly be good” for the city.

Resident Jim Hughes said he hopes the cityisn’t going to be “held hostage to a corporatedeadline” as more information is needed.

“The numbers are not known. We do notknow how much this will cost,” he said.“Council may know, but you haven’t sharedthat with us. We can’t intelligently debate this

until we understand the costs, the impacts.What’s it going to look like?”

Laura Sukorokoff expressed concern that asmall group of elite athletes would squeeze outpeople who use the park on a daily basis. She’salso concerned the proposal may be “too risky”financially for the city.

“My question is, how much is the projectgoing to cost?” said Queen’s Park residentDayna Mudie. “We are one week away fromcouncil making a decision on this project andthere has yet to be any sort of business plan orbudget for review.”

Mayor Wayne Wright said the city has lis-tened to the public and will continue to getinformation about the proposal for the nextseveral days to determine if the proposal ispossible.

“We are not sitting on the fence,” he said.“We are getting more information.”

Wright said the city would provide residents

with information about the proposal when itbecomes available.

“This council is working hard on this,” hesaid. “It is one of the most serious issues wehave had.”

Supporters are hopeful the city will get thefinancial information needed to approve theproposal.

Dr. Robert McCormack, past president ofthe Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine, isenthusiastic about the opportunity to help thesport of soccer grow and to provide an oppor-tunity to improve health of New Westminsterresidents by giving them role models that canfoster involvement in sport and a healthiercommunity.

As the medical director of the CanadianOlympic team, the New Westminster residentbelieves the proposal would also be an impor-tant part of development of leaders in sports.

members are suffering. They haven’t had a paycheck sincethe middle of June,” Marsolais said, noting CUPE memberswill continue to support teachers on the picket lines duringthe strike.

The union is now waiting for the British ColumbiaPublic School Employers’ Association – the government’sbargaining agent – to ratify the contract.

“They’ve committed to about a 72-hour turnaround,”Marsolais said. “I’m hoping to hear by the end of theweek.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said in June thatthe government decided to pay support staff because theyare not responsible for the teachers’ strike, according to aVancouver Sun article.

The CUPE contract also includes a wage increase of 5.5per cent over five years.

“It’s not huge but we have other things … (includ-ing) increasing the funding for student support staff likeeducational assistants and others that work directly withstudents, so we are going to get some extra hours in theclassroom – that was a big thing for us,” said Marsolais,whose local has about 400 members.

While he is pleased to have a pending contract for hismembers to consider, the union president said he’s disap-pointed that Fassbender didn’t agree to the BCTF’s recentcall for binding arbitration to settle the dispute.

“I believe the BCTF would probably give in and returnto school and hopefully get classes up and running untilthat process is finalized,” Marsolais said.

New Westminster CUPE members have joined teacherson the picket lines at schools throughout the city.

Support staff include clerical workers, education assis-tants, maintenance staff and tradespeople.

They worry about missing out onscholarships they have to apply forby October.

They worry about all of the bandand choir practices they are miss-ing.

They worry about their gradesand, ultimately, their future.

FourNewWestminsterSecondarySchool students set up a blanket onthe corner of Eighth Avenueand Eighth Street at theirschool on Tuesday morningand planted themselves onthe grounds in a bid to havetheir concerns heard.

Annaliese Meyer, aGrade 12 student, organ-ized the small gathering onwhat was one of the coolerdays in recent weeks, toexpress her frustration withthe process that has pushedstudents out of classrooms.

“This movement is not to standon either the side of the BCTF or theLiberal government, but to bring tothe surface a third party that is justas relevant, perhaps more – and cer-

tainly more impacted: thestudents,” she wrote in anemail to The Record.

Annaliese was joinedby fellow band/choir stu-dents and expected upto 15 students to turn upthroughout the day.

They planned to sit-infor the duration of whatwould be a typical schoolday, saying they want tobe back in the classroom.

“I just want tolearn,” Grade 11 studentLorynne Machado sayswhile sitting with her armswrapped around her legs.

“Devastating” is howshe describes the ongoingtussle between the teach-ers’ union and the govern-ment, which has meant stu-dents have already missedseven days of school andcounting this year, in addi-tion to the more than twoweeks lost last school year.

One of the key concerns for thestudents is the impact the strikehas had on their band program– an ensemble at the high school

that practises and performstogether.

NWSS has a well-respected music programwith dedicated teachers andstudents, including the fourholding what they called a“student walk-in.”

The labour strife takesaway the opportunity forthe students to perform out-side of school, Grade 12 stu-dent Howard Dai says.

They worry that losingpractice time will put them at a dis-advantage at an upcoming competi-tion in Banff.

“We get to be in an amazingprogram,” Grade 12 students AndieLloyd says.

She only has another year withthe school’s music program andwants to savour every minute.

“Any time away from an experi-ence like that is a horrible loss,” shesays.

The students are ready for sum-mer to be over.

“We’ve had our whole summerto socialize,” Andie says.

“It’s like the endless summer,”Lorynne adds.

The latest twist in the teachers’ dis-pute is starting to remind us of one ofthose old cartoons where someone isstaring up the wrong end of the barrel ofa rifle and snickering, “I’ve got you rightwhere I want you.”

At press time Minister ofEducation Peter Fassbenderwas steadfastly saying no tobinding arbitration. At aboutthe same time, the teachers’ leader,Jim Iker, was announcing that despiteFassbender’s message that the govern-ment would not entertain binding arbi-tration, the teachers were going to vote

on it. Surely this vote is not intended tosway Fassbender. The vote is to keep histeachers on the line motivated and instep. It is also to send a message to par-ents that it’s not the teachers’ union that

is keeping schools closed.Will the teachers hold firm?

Will parents continue to blamegovernment more (althoughthose poll numbers change

daily) for not getting schools open thanthey will for blaming teachers for keep-ing them closed? Who knows? Lastweek we saw duelling press conferenceswhere both sides came out with mis-

information designed to sway the pub-lic. Clark said the teachers had asked forunlimited massages. Iker said the teach-ers were still locked out. And neitherside appeared to be ready to apologizefor any misstatements.

Meanwhile parents are either pullingtheir hair out or trying to figure if theycan afford private school before the nexteducation labour dispute.

We think this all does not bode wellfor the teachers.

Christy Clark learned a valuable les-son during the last election. Despitepundits saying she was toast, she won

handily. The silent majority is movingfarther to the right and they don’t takekindly to spending their tax dollars onmassages for teachers (even if they aren’tunlimited). Clark knows that if shecan keep parents thinking this is aboutteachers’ wants and not educationalneeds, she’ll force the teachers evenfurther out on a limb. Their strike fundis in trouble, and union members won’twelcome a dues increase after losingpay on the picket line. The trouble withgamesmanship like this is that it merelyperpetuates the game – and educationshould not be part of a political game.

Recalls unlikely toget off the ground

There’s no doubt that emo-tions are running high inthe teachers’ contract dis-

pute, so it is perhaps not surpris-ing that all kinds of people aretrying to whip up enthusiasmgetting recall campaigns organ-ized against B.C. Liberal MLAs.

All I can say is, good luck withthat.

Since the recall legislationcame into effect in the 1990s,there have been 24 applicationsfor a recall campaign filed withElections B.C. Only a handful gotoff the ground, and all failed mis-erably (one was withdrawn afterthe MLA in question quit).

The bar for recalling an MLAis rightly set very high. For arecall petition to succeed andforce a byelection, 40 per cent ofthe registered voters in the ridingin question must sign the petitionwithin 60 days.

In a number of B.C.’s rid-ings, the number of signaturesrequired actually exceeds thenumber of people who actuallyvoted, in total, in the last provin-cial election.

On social media (Twitterand Facebook), many teach-ers are excitedly talking aboutlaunching a recall campaign

against Education MinisterPeter Fassbender in his riding ofSurrey-Fleetwood.

For such a campaign to suc-ceed, 14,226 people in his ridingmust sign a petition within twomonths. To put that in perspec-tive, slightly less than 18,000people in total even voted inSurrey-Fleetwood in the lastelection (including 8,200 forFassbender).

This means that about 80 percent of those who voted last timewould have to sign the petition,or that thousands of people whodidn’t vote before would have tobe convinced to participate in anelectoral process that they refusedto partake in previously.

There is little evidence – yet– that the general public is asup in arms over the dispute asthe teachers understandably are.There are no doubt a lot of angryand frustrated parents out there,but only about half of those wholive in Fassbender’s riding likelyeven have children in the schoolsystem, so why should they beexpected to sign a petition boot-ing him from office en masse?

Others have suggested arecall campaign against PremierChristy Clark herself in her rid-ing of Westside-Kelowna. There,more than 18,000 people wouldhave to sign a recall petition forit to go forward, which meansalmost every single person whovoted in her byelection victorywould have to sign it.

And I can’t see many of hernear-12,000 supporters (those

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Whitecaps proposal too rushedDear Editor:

I have been following the Whitecaps USL pro-posal very closely. Being a lifelong sports fan, I wasinitially excited at the thought of our city gettinganother sports team. However, as information, orlack thereof, came forward, I am against this pro-posal in its current format for many reasons.

The Whitecaps have an unrealistic timeline forrenovation/refurbishment of Queen’s Park Stadium,and relocation of minor baseball, before the project-ed season start of 2015. Also, no one knows, or willreveal, where the money is coming from for a proj-ect of this size. That concerns me as a taxpayer inthis city. We already have very aged facilities (suchas Canada Games Pool) that need replacement. Iattended the Aug. 25 council meeting, and no sup-porters of this proposal were present to provide any

information, or speak in favour. What also shockedme, were the number of people who spoke againstthis proposal who are parents of players registeredwith Royal City Youth Soccer. The information onthe city webpage and the Whitecaps letter printedin local newspapers pose more questions thananswers.

I am a huge advocate of sport at the youth andpro levels. I’m also a Whitecaps fan (I attendedthe recent match vs. Portland). This proposal hasdivided our city into a “baseball vs. soccer” argu-ment, which is very unfortunate. There needs to bemore financial clarity, a better location and less com-munity disruption. If the proposal was presentedbetter, with more information and timelines that areattainable, I’m sure more residents would be in sup-port. At this point it is way too secretive and rushedfor my vote. I urge council to oppose this proposal.

Don’t be hasty on stadiumDear Editor:

I read with interest the proposal andvarious letters about the Whitecaps’ USLteam and the stadium at Queen’s Park.

I also closely followed the extensiveand well documented Queen’s Park reju-venation plans between January 2012 andMay 2013. I note that the report indicatedthe stadium needs upgrading.

Prior to moving to the city, I lived with-in blocks of Central Park and SwangardStadium for over 30 years, so I am wellacquainted with all that is involved withliving in close proximity to a large sta-dium, even without soccer games. I closelyfollowed all the various local newspaperheadlines, letters, and reports to Burnabycity council about the team’s proposalsto improve the stadium when they weregranted MLS status in 2008.

After a somewhat lengthy and conten-tious time those plans fell through, andthey moved from Burnaby to Vancouver,where the team’s proposal for a new sta-dium also fell through. Both city councilsseemed to find major fault and issues withwho was footing the bills and for howmuch.

Like others I am not impressed withthe proposal – there are too many “may”

and “should” words about increasinglocal revenue, and recognition, and put-ting Queen’s Park Stadium on the soccerworld’s map, and very little about theactual costs (which almost always end upbeing higher than anticipated) and whoexactly is paying those costs.

I am not happy that the city and itscitizens are being asked to basically turnpart of its crown jewel park over to a pri-vate “for-profit” corporation. There areahas virtually nothing in the way of pre-/post-game entertainment like pubs or res-taurants; transit is virtually non-existent– and 3,500 fans need to park their carssomewhere and pay an unknown amountfor “family entertainment.”

Why is this necessary when there are somany other “family entertainment” oppor-tunities in other areas where the infra-structure is already in place?

Queen’s Park is a suburban oasis ofgreen space, used by a wide variety ofpeople, which is something that is becom-ing more and more difficult to find in theLower Mainland.

I am not happy with how quickly theWhitecaps are attempting to push thisprocess through.

As has been famously stated: “Marry inhaste, repent in leisure.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

who voted for her lasttime) siding with the B.C.Teachers’ Federation overhaving a premier as theirMLA.

All this talk of recallcampaigns suggests, again,that many BCTF memberscommunicate in an echochamber, where the onlything they hear is eachother. The average personwants schools to be openbut doesn’t necessar-ily support the BCTF oneverything.

As I suggested in lastweek’s column, the pub-lic is likely of the “a poxon both your houses”view when it comes tothe teachers’ dispute,which doesn’t translateinto booting MLAs fromoffice because the teachers’union is furious.

In the end, a recallcampaign arising fromthat dispute has about as

much a chance of succeed-ing as does one of BCTFpresident Jim Iker’s sug-gestions: raising taxes topay for a new teachers’contract.

In other words, nochance.

"I see Vancouver Mayor

Gregor Robertson hasmade the proposed $1.9billion Broadway subwayline the centerpiece of hisre-election campaign, butI fail to see how he canrealistically expect theprovince to fund it any-time soon.

As I’ve noted before,that line would run rightthrough two provincialridings – Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Point Grey – that gave theboot to the B.C. Liberals inthe last provincial election.

As a result, the chancesof a B.C. Liberal govern-ment pushing that particu-

lar transportation projectanywhere near the top ofits infrastructure prioritieslist is rather remote.

The political centre, aslong as the B.C. Liberalsare in power, has shiftedout of Vancouver.

As a result, transporta-tion projects in places likeSurrey and Langley andthe Fraser Valley stand afar better chance of receiv-ing significant provincialgovernment funding thananything in Vancouver.

The Broadway linewould also need thefinancial support of thefederal government, butthe line runs throughthe Liberal-held seat ofVancouver Quadra. Sounless federal Liberalleader Justin Trudeau winsthe next election, don’texpect much coming fromOttawa.

Grid Hyackswin an uglyfirst one

The New WestminsterHyacks eked out an uglyone over the CentennialCentaurs at Percy PerryStadium.

The AAAvarsity footballHyacks turneda blocked puntinto a game-winning touch-down to wina narrow 11-6decision overthe CentennialCentaurs inan exhibitionnon-conferencematchup onFriday.

Trailing 6-5 late in thethird quar-ter, EbrahiemFarroghiblocked a puntdeep in theCentennial end and thenJordan Guzman did therest, taking the pigskin intothe end zone for the game-winning touchdown fromsix yards out.

“At the end of the dayit’s a win,” said Hyackshead coach Farhan Lalji.“We peaked real early lastyear. Our approach in theoff season has been to buildon it and give us room togrow.”

In the game, growingpains came in the form ofmental mistakes and undis-ciplined penalties that keptNew West operating from anegative deficit.

New West virtuallyspent the entire first quar-ter in the Centennial halfof the field but came awaywith just five points, on asafety touch and a 31-yardWayne Palmer field goal.

The Hyacks led 5-0 at thehalf.

“It was a pretty sloppygame,” Lalji said, addingthe Hyacks’ D had oppor-tunities to make four otherpickoffs, but it was theCentaurs who capitalizedon an interception in the

third quarterand took theball back 45yards to take a6-5 lead.

“I think wedominated thegame, especial-ly up front, butwe’re still notequipped forsecond (down)and 15,” saidLalji.

JulianRamirez led allHyack rusherswith 74 yardson 11 carries,while Matt

Seymour caught threepasses for 72 yards.

“Defensively we werevery strong but on offencewe didn’t execute verywell and we weren’t verydisciplined,” Lalji said,adding this Friday’s homeopener against W.J. Mouatwill be another exhibitiontest. “We have to improveagainst Mouat and play upto that level.”

On Friday, NewWestminster plays hostto the Mouat Hawks intheir home opening gameat Mercer Stadium. Gametime is 7:30 p.m.

Douglas teams unbeatenin PacWest college soccer

The Douglas College Royals areoff to strong starts in PacWest soc-cer.

The women kicked off this sea-son in encouraging fashion, winningtheir first three matches, includingback-to-back wins over Kwantlenand Quest universities this week-end.

Earlier in the week, Douglasopened with a 2-1 win over LangaraCollege, before shutting outKwantlen 2-0 on Saturday and 2-1over Quest on Sunday.

Danae Harding leads the women’steam with three goals in three games,while Marni McMillan and NicolleFraser contributed two and one goal,respectively.

“The results have been good interms of building confidence andbuilding a belief the team can win

week in and week out, but the per-formances have been less than stel-lar,” said first-year Royals coachChris Laxton, who took over the jobin April.

But with eight new players onboard, five of whom started on open-ing day, the short-term future looksbright for the Royals.

“There has been no lack of effort,… and spells of really excellent soc-cer,” added Laxton. “But it’s earlyand if we’re playing our best (now),we’re in trouble.”

Laxton is commited to playing apossession game with the object ofplaying attacking football. But at theend of the day, it’s all about playingintelligent soccer and taking advan-tage of the situation on the pitch,Laxton added.

“I want smart players,” he said.

Men start at 2-0-1The Douglas Royals men’s team

also started the college season withan unbeaten record.

The Royals drew 2-2 with Langaramid-week before blanking bothKwantlen and Quest in weekendfixtures.

Marc Minceili posted the back-to-back shutouts for Douglas.

Simrin Rattanpal scored the game-winning 1-0 goal for the Royals overQuest on Sunday.

Spencer Deboice tallied a pair ofgoals and Koneh Kalifala added asingle marker in Saturday’s 3-0 vic-tory over Kwantlen.

Nicholas Pineda Graham scoredboth goals in the tie with Langara.

“From preseason to now, everygame we’ve gotten a little better,”said Douglas co-coach Robby Toor.

The Royals play VancouverIsland University in Nanaimo onSaturday, before returning home tohost Capilano University at TownCentre Stadium on Sunday.


Junior B Steelers open Pacific Junior season this weekIt’s going to be another competitive

conference season, predicts the GrandviewSteelers junior B hockey coach.

“I think it’s going to be a competitiveleague, for sure,” said head coach and gen-eral manager Aldo Bruno, whose BurnabyWinter Club-based Steelers play in thetight Tom Shaw conference. “It’s going to

be hard to make a playoff spot. It’s goingto be tough.”

The Steelers ended the exhibition sea-son with a 9-5 win in Abbotsford lastThursday and a 5-3 loss to the Pilots athome on Sunday.

Like the start to every regular season,waiting for players to return from majorjunior and junior A trial camps makes ageneral manager’s job challenging, Brunosaid.

“Our defence is going to be our strength.We’re really big in the back end, but we’rea faster team, for sure,” he said.

Bruno is counting on winter club prod-ucts Austin Campeau, Cameron Ginnettiand Alexander Rasovic, currently tryingout with the Coquitlam Express of theB.C. Hockey League, to step in on defence,while rookies Braedan Gurney, Nico Brunoand Ian Prevost of Burnaby will be expect-ed to add pace up front. The Steelers also

signed D-man Jordan Henderson, whois presently trying out with the SpokaneChiefs of the Western Hockey League.

Cole MacInnes returns in goal this sea-son for the Steelers.

“You want to be healthy and get a goodstart,” Bruno said, adding finding consist-ency with more than a dozen new faces isalways a challenge.

The Steelers open this Thursday inRichmond. Face off is at 7 p.m.

New West contenders up forWe Heart Local Awards


In the 1930’s Queens Park Arena was packedto capacity every Saturday night as people

came to watch the big name attractions such asWilkes, Downey and Wilson playing lacrosse.

Be partof the tradition.

DEAR CITIZENS OF NEW WESTMINSTER,

On July 8, 2014, Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the City of New Westminster announced ourintent to launch a United Soccer Leagues (USL) PRO franchise in this community. It’s an excitinginitiative for our club, for the future of Canadian soccer, and most importantly for the communityof New Westminster.

Under this proposal, a refurbished Queen’s Park Stadium would become the home pitch forWhitecaps FC’s USL PRO team while remaining accessible for various community sports andevents. Our club has always prided itself on being a significant asset to the local community,and it’s a responsibility that we take very seriously. As long-term committed tenants, WhitecapsFC will be exclusively responsible for all operating expenses associated with the team, includingstadium rent.

More than ever, a beautiful refurbished Queen’s Park Stadium would become a multi-usefacility to be enjoyed and used by the community year-round, as managed by the City of NewWestminster. The venue has a long history, which would be celebrated by preserving andupgrading the main structure of the existing stadium. Upon refurbishment, the stadium wouldnot only house professional soccer, but also a variety of festivals, community events like May Dayand Movie Night in the Park, and local arts, all of which our club would be keen to participate inas members of the community.

We are committed to working with the city and its residents to make sure this is a crown jewelfor the Royal City. With that in mind, we want to take this opportunity to provide some factsabout our proposal.

OUR VISION:

• Build a successful franchise the community can be proud of for years to come• Grow the sport of soccer in NewWestminster, the Lower Mainland, B.C., and ultimately Canada• Create a professional team that provides a bridge to the club’s Major League Soccer team• Develop a long-term platform to develop young players for the Canadian national team

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

• Socio-economic: jobs, services, and more business for local establishments• Refurbished stadium at Queen’s Park that’s accessible to community events and other sports• Affordable, family-friendly entertainment for the community, Whitecaps FC camps, soccerclinics, and other community initiatives for New Westminster youth

• North America-wide recognition for the city• Great opportunity to see local talent

WHAT IS USL PRO?

• USL PRO is the strongest North American men’s professional soccer league below MajorLeague Soccer

• The league has 20 teams in North America and is growing rapidly• USL PRO teams play 28 matches from March through September - 14 of those matchesare at home

• It is anticipated that most games will be held on weekend afternoons and early evenings• If approved by the September 15 USL PRO franchise deadline, this team would start playin March 2015

We know there’s a long tradition of baseball in New Westminster. That’s why they were one ofthe first groups our club and the City of New Westminster reached out to as part of this process.Through our conversations with the city, we are confident in their commitment to accommodatebaseball’s needs. There is room in New Westminster for all sports to thrive.

We believe bringing a USL PRO team to the city would benefit all residents. Not only would theteam bring top young players to your doorstep and play a massive part in our efforts to growthe sport, it would also create jobs, attract significant business, and offer affordable, family-friendly entertainment for the entire community to enjoy.

Whether you support this venture or have some questions, we want you to get in touch.

Please send your feedback to [email protected] with cc [email protected].

We want your voice to be heard. Let’s work together to make sure this is a team and acommunity venue in a vibrant park that we can all be proud of for years to come.

Sincerely,

Bob LenarduzziPresident, VancouverWhitecaps FC
