Fewer kids, fewer bucks for SD43

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

International ed. continues to help the bottom lineDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

School District 43 is fac-ing the prospect of a drop in enrolment in September that could cost it almost $1 mil-lion in lost revenue.

But trustees are planning to retain teachers and sup-port workers — even add a few — thanks to fees foreign students pay as well as some surplus and efficiencies.

“It’s good to know we’re doing better than we were,” board chair Judy Shirra said following Tuesday’s budget presentation at Winslow Centre.

The numbers included revenue forecasts of $289.3 million for 2016/’17, down slightly from $291.5 million for the current school year.

Next year’s revenue is ex-pected to be lower partly due to 143 fewer FTE students and a prediction that there will be 400 fewer international educa-tion students than the record 1,800 who showed up last September. The district also plans to charge them more: $14,000, up from $13,000.

(The 143 fewer students, while a hit on the revenue side, won’t necessarily save the district money because the shortfall is spread be-tween grades and schools, and doesn’t translate into needing fewer teachers or support workers.)

PoCo backs local MP’s federal drug bill

Rookie Liberal MP Ron McKinnon has at least one Tri-City council on his side with his private member’s bill, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act.

On Monday, Port Coquitlam city council unanimously backed McKinnon’s proposed leg-islation after he appeared before the city’s commu-nity safety committee last Thursday.

McKinnon also met with Port Moody’s mayor and police chief last week to drum up support; a meet-ing with Coquitlam city council is still in the works.

The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act was tabled in the House of Commons in February and aims to lift the fear of reporting a drug overdose by providing those who call 911 during an overdose am-nesty from being charged with drug possession. His bill comes two years after the House Standing Committee on Health rec-ommended considering an overdose immunity law.

Last year, the BC Coroner’s Service logged 465 apparent illicit drug overdose deaths considered “accidental” or “undeter-mined” — a 27% jump from the previous year.

On Thursday, the provin-cial health officer, Dr. Perry Kendall, declared a public health emergency due to increase in drug overdose deaths in British Columbia.

First Nations sites subject of talk and walk on SaturdayDIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

Thousands of years of his-tory are at your fingertips and all you have to do is take a walk.

That’s the plan when Langara College archeology professor Stan Copp presents a talk on local First Nations middens — sites of habita-tion — followed by a walk around Shoreline Park in Port Moody to view them tomorrow (Saturday).

Copp, a Port Moody resi-dent, says little can be seen of what once were fishing camps at the edge of the inlet because of industrial development and changes in the environment over the past 2,000 years but it is known that the Kwikwetlem, Tsleil-Waututh and even the Musqueam peoples lived in the area.

There may also be some human remains long since covered over by dirt and forest in the area and possibly a cairn where someone was buried.

“They’ll learn this is the tra-ditional unceded territory of a couple of First Nations bands and that people have been liv-ing at the head of this inlet for a couple thousand years,” Copp told The Tri-City News.

“Unfortunately, the site is not protected,” he said, noting that with development of the foreshore park, “the middens are pretty much gone.”

But Copp says with a little imagination and some sleuth-ing, people can start to picture the activities that must have taken place before malls and highways popped up in the area.

He said the richness of the environment at the time gave rise to complex communities with well-developed cultures.

“All our ancestors lived this way if they were lucky enough to live on the coast. It is one of the richest environments you can get. You have marine re-sources and the land, and the result is a stratified complex

hunter-gathering community,” said Copp, who learned about the middens when he was a student many years ago at SFU.

The event has been orga-nized by the Coquitlam branch of the Canadian Federation of

University Women (CFUW) and starts out in the Nancy Bennett Room at Poirier branch of Coquitlam Public Library.

“We go for a walk and I put the pre-historical site and the historical sites into context,” Copp said.

The talk and walk take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., with a drive to Shoreline Park after Copp’s presentation at the library.

Deb Chisholm of CFUW said it’s the last for the season but a new series will start in September and people can get more information at cfuwco-quitlam.org.

SAVING WATER

Referring to water shortage is ‘alarm-ist,’ says councillorSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Last summer’s drought prompted regional watering re-strictions that could be length-ened this summer under new Metro Vancouver regulations.

But one Port Moody coun-cillor is taking issue with the language in the bylaw and sug-gesting more capacity is what’s needed.

Coun. Rob Vagramov said referring to last year’s water lev-els — which were below normal for the entire summer — as a water shortage is using “alarm-ist language,” particularly since the shortage is actually in Metro Vancouver’s capacity, he said, noting even with conserva-tion measures in place, future population growth and climate change patterns will demand greater capacity within 50 years.

“We have plenty of lakes, we have enormous amounts of water in them, they’re just not connected to the water

system,” Vagramov said, adding other parts of the world, such as California, would “laugh at what we call a water shortage.”

“There is plenty of water in many sources, be it lakes or aquifers or potential rainwater collection. There will come a time when that language is cor-rect… but who’s going to believe it when we’ve talked about it like this for so long?”

(Drinking water is treated at the Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant and the Coquitlam Water Treatment Plant, which have seen invest-ments of about a billion dollars in the last decade.)

Metro Vancouver has charted storage levels at

its Seymour, Capilano and Coquitlam reservoirs with the results posted online. While 2013 and 2014 storage levels were within the normal range, the early hot, dry weather that kicked off in June 2015 saw the storage levels drop off steeply to below the normal range by July and remain there until September.

Referring to the conditions as a water shortage is “abso-lutely not” alarmist, said Metro board chair and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore.

The decision to progress to a Stage 3 water restriction, which limits the use of treated drinking water outdoors to hand-sprinkling of flower and vegetable gardens and prohibits most other uses, isn’t taken lightly, Moore added.

“We’re looking at daily and hourly water consumption rates as well as resource levels, and we’re working directly, daily, with Environment Canada forecasters to see if there’s any meaningful precipitation in the future,” Moore told The Tri-City News. “It was absolutely essen-tial to go to Stage 3.”

’15 use being studiedSAVING WATER

Metro Vancouver’s capac-ity is sufficient to provide the region’s 2.4 million residents with clean, treated drinking water over the next couple of decades “but we have to look beyond that,” Moore said, noting in the next few years, Metro’s utilities division will be investigating options for in-creasing reservoir capacity.

In the meantime, the re-gion’s staff are taking a close look at water consumption habits last year in the hopes of applying lessons learned to the upcoming season.

The move to Stage 1 and 2 re-strictions caused no discernible drop in the daily consumption of treated drinking water, which was 1.8 billion litres per day. It wasn’t until the need for Stage 3 restrictions became appar-ent and the regional authority began engaging with large-scale retail, commercial and indus-trial water users, as well as with the public, that usage levels dropped enough to avoid going to Stage 4.

“It’s amazing how society came together and not once did we go above 1.2 billion litres a day,” Moore said. “We need to learn why from Stage 2 to 3 everybody embraced it but Stage 1 to 2, nobody did.”

Elaine Golds, a well-known environmentalist who pens The Tri-City News’ Green

Scene column, also empha-sized the need to conserve over building greater capacity.

Enlarging existing reservoirs would mean losing parts of the surrounding forested water-sheds, which could destabilize the banks and result in turbid-ity in what is now exception-ally clean drinking water, said Golds, who was on a regional water advisory committee for about a decade in the 1990s.

“We do have enough water,

we just need to be careful about how we use it,” she said.

Metro Vancouver mu-nicipalities will move to Stage 1 watering restrictions, with lawn sprinkling allowed three days a week in the early-morning hours only, regardless of weather conditions from May 15 to Oct. 15, an overall increase of four weeks over past years.

[email protected]@spayneTC

POCO MOVES ON METRO WATER REGSPort Coquitlam will follow the rest of the region when it

comes to water restrictions this year.On Monday, Coun. Laura Dupont sought to change the

Metro Vancouver water shortage response plan by having a clause taken out. She asked council to remove the Metro portion that would allow commercial cleaning services to use water for aesthetic cleaning at Stage 2.

“Water is too vital to use for aesthetic purposes,” she said.Coun. Darrell Penner concurred, saying it would be unfair

to ban residents but not businesses.But Mayor Greg Moore, chair of the Metro Vancouver

board, said while he agrees — and raised the same argu-ment before the regional authority — he didn’t want to see an inconsistent policy. “The system falls apart” when mu-nicipalities apply different rules, he said, adding, “We have to be consistent in the delivery of this.”

PoCo council defeated Dupont’s motion and passed three readings of the city’s bylaw amendment, which also aligns with Metro’s changes to activate water restrictions from May 15 to Oct. 15 (instead of June 1 to Sept. 30, as in previous years) and to allow previously approved lawn sprinkling exemption permits to remain valid — a move to combat the chafer beetle infestation.

PoMo may pay $45k so councillors not at mtgs. can participate

PORT MOODY

Skype hasn’t been reliable enough previouslySARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Like the spinning wheel on a computer screen signalling a machine trying to reach its in-tended destination, Port Moody council is continuing to circle a decision on electronic partici-pation at council meetings.

Although some councillors balked at the prospect of spend-ing up to $45,000 on a video conferencing system, they eventually voted to investigate the prospect further at a future committee of the whole meet-ing.

“I think we’re going back to have the same conversation we had six months ago,” said Coun. Diana Dilworth.

That conversation started in November 2015 after council-lors Rob Vagramov and Rick Glumac used Skype to remotely attend separate council meet-ings. But a poor connection and the need to have a senior

staff member sitting in the councillors’ seats to assist in the speaking and voting processes led some to question whether electronic participation was ef-fective or a distraction.

In February, council passed a motion removing electronic participation at meetings from the procedure bylaw until a more reliable system could be implemented.

A staff report presented Tuesday showed a professional-grade conferencing system would cost close to $45,000 — although the quality of the internet connection on the remote participant’s end could still cause disruptions.

Questions about whether the technology could be used in other rooms in city hall (not really) and for other events and/or presentations (pos-sibly) prompted council to vote against maintaining the existing consumer-level Skype service.

“Clearly, we have a lot more to do on this,” said Coun. Meghan Lahti. “I’d like to look at both the options staff pre-sented in terms of how effective they could be and look at where we can find the budget for something like this.”

Coun. Rob Vagramov said Wednesday council doesn’t need to spend $45,000 and that the existing system could be used with the caveat that, in the event of a poor connection, the remote participant could sim-ply be cut off.

“I think it’s very valuable to be bleeding edge,” he added. “It’s extremely important to embrace technology as it comes along.”

Staff will be investigating further the opportunities for an upgraded Skype system costing either $35,000 or $45,000.

Sater still appeals sentence for Cruz, Reaveley deathsGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Cory Sater, the Port Coquitlam man currently serv-ing prison time for killing two women in a drunk driving crash in 2011, is dropping his appeal of his criminal convictions.

But his lawyer, Rishi Gill, said the defence will move forward with its appeal of the 7.5-year sentence imposed by B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams following the guilty verdict in early 2014.

“I can confirm the conviction appeal is not going forward,” Gill told The Tri-City News Thursday morning. He did not explain why the defence decided to pro-ceed with one appeal and not the other, saying, “They are two different beasts… Both have dif-ferent issues behind them.”

Sater, who has already spent close to two years behind bars, launched both appeals in 2014. Gill said at the time that while Sater took responsibility for his actions, he believed the judge was in error in how he applied the law.

The sentence and convic-tion stem from a collision along Lougheed Highway at Pitt River Road on a cold night

in February 2011. Lorraine Cruz and Paulo Calimbahin had been involved in a minor traffic accident when Dan and Charlene Reaveley stopped to assist. Charlene Reaveley was comforting Cruz on the side of the road when both women were struck and killed by a white Jeep driven by Sater. Calimbahin was also injured and lost a leg as a result of the

impact. Sater fled but turned himself in to Coquitlam RCMP the next day.

During the trial, the prosecu-tion showed video of Sater at a bar consuming six double rye and Cokes and two Jagerbombs before getting behind the wheel.

He was convicted on six counts, including two counts each of impaired driving and

dangerous driving causing death and one count each of impaired driving and danger-ous driving causing bodily harm.

‘We are no way near where we were,’ says Coq. trustee Sowden

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

It’s also banking on a $2-million surplus this year, a portion of which will be used to smooth bumps in class size and composition, plus $2.1 million in reduced teacher pension plan rates.

The funds will help the district keep teachers, youth workers and educational posi-tions it may otherwise have lost, said SD43’s assistant sec-retary treasurer, Chris Nicol.

But some aren’t happy with the plan.

Coquitlam Trustee Diane Sowden said things haven’t improved much in schools after services were cut two years ago. “We are no way near where we were,” she said at Tuesday’s meeting.

School library assistants said they were concerned library resources cut in previous years haven’t been added back. “With new curriculum com-ing, it’s a concern,” said Penny Hook, a library assistant.

For Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president Charley King, job retention for CTA members is key. He said he’s pleased to see some new teaching posts added but said the district could do more if funding kept up with inflation.

“The bulk of new hires is generated by an enrolment increase [this school year]. It’s not like it’s an increase in ser-vice levels,” he said.

Still, If the budget is ap-proved, there will be some new hires in September, including 16 secondary school lunch hour supervisors, positions that were cut two years ago, plus an internet technology co-ordinator and three vice-principals.

The district also plans to add back a speech and language pathologist, a psychiatrist and a learning assistance teacher that were cut previously, creat-ing backlogs in services.

It also has to pay back $1.25 million of its remaining $2.5-million debt and find $1.4 million in administrative sav-ings required by the provincial government.

The next budget meeting will hear from delegations on Tuesday, April 19 in the gym at Winslow Centre (1100 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam) starting at 6 p.m.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS IS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, PUBLISHED AT 115-1525 BROADWAY ST., PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. V3C 6P6

Who’s paying the most to play in B.C.’s political sandbox?The 2015 political donations were out last week and

they contained some numbers that should cause a bit of unease. It’s not just the amounts that are of

interest but the running totals as well.Since 2005, the BC Liberal party has raised more than

$107.8 million, $70.2 million of it from businesses and corporations, while the B.C. NDP has collected $55.9 mil-lion, with $38 million coming from individuals and $11.6 million from unions.

The BC Liberals’ Million Dollar Club has grown. Five companies and one association have now donated more than $1 million to the party, including Encana ($1.1 million), the Aquilini Group ($1.2 million) and Teck Resources ($2.3 million). The party’s top ten donors have given in excess of $11.7 million.

The Bank of China gave $388 to the BC Liberal party in 2015. Seven banks topped that up by $799,000 over the past 11 years, including CIBC ($245,410) and TD Bank ($130,440). B.C. credit unions got into the spirit of giving too, contributing $163,448 to the BC Liberals and $31,425 to the NDP.

Since 2014, three players in B.C.’s burgeoning LNG in-dustry came through with $94,650 for the BC Liberals and

two with $15,850 for the NDP — I guess the BC Liberals got first dibs on building a LNG prosperity fund.

Seven players with a keen eye for public-private part-nerships (P3) opportunities donated $310,690. Ten of the construction companies that do the heavy lifting for the P3 number crunchers donated $674,000, including Ledcor ($257,850), Kiewit ($105,975), PCL ($141,879) and Emil Anderson Construction ($52,910).

Coincidentally, Emil Anderson was awarded a $36-million contract by the B.C. government last month “for the second phase of six-laning on Highway 97 through Kelowna.”

The developers behind Vancouver’s Trump Tower, the Holborn Group, donated $25,000 to the BC Liberals last year and its sister company, TA Management, gave $25,000. Both companies are part of Malaysian-based TA Global.

Since 2005, property developers have donated more than $10.7 million to the BC Liberals (including $1.55 mil-lion in personal donations), or roughly 10% of the party’s total $107.8-million haul.

If you’ve got this far, you may want to crack open a cold one and consider that over the last 11 years, Canada’s big

brewers gave $153,779 to the BC Liberals and $35,525 to the NDP; Ontario’s Beer Store, $96,974 ($6,670 to NDP), Labatt $159,366 ($30,550) and Molson $121,257 ($24,225).

The donations of 193 companies and individuals were considered for this column. Together, they donated $35.7 million and they’re not the BC Liberals’ top 193 donors. Knock off the 104 smallest and 89 donors gave $31.8 mil-lion to the Libs.

In the same period of time, the Alberta Progressive Conservatives raised $31.75 million from all its donors (corporate, individual and union).

What would B.C. parties be left with if there was a total ban on corporate and union donations?

Over 11 years, the BC Liberals raised $37.6 million from individuals and the NDP $39.7 million, both more than the Alberta PCs raised in total. The provincial Liberals have deposited enough to cover what their Quebec coun-terpart and its 125 candidates spent in the 2014 election 18 times over — and Quebec has six million voters, nearly double the number in B.C.

Oh, and there are likely still four seats for sale at the premier’s table later this month in Prince George for the party’s annual dinner. They can be had for $25,000 a pair.

OUR OPINION

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION?

ADRIAN RAESIDE

PROVINCIAL POLITICS

A timely ideaA harm-reduction approach to addiction is

needed to stop overdose deaths as the problem seems to be increasing in B.C., according to the

provincial coroner. Last year, the BC Coroner’s Service logged 465 apparent illicit drug overdose deaths, con-sidered “accidental” or “undetermined” — a 27% jump from the previous year.

It’s time we stopped thinking of people who abuse drugs and alcohol as morally bankrupt and consider the misuse of these substances for what they are: a health issue.

Thus, we support rookie Liberal MPs Ron McKinnon’s private member’s bill — the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act — that would provide amnesty from being charged with drug possession to those who call in an overdose.

It’s a sensible bill, as Port Coquitlam council agreed, when its unanimously backed McKinnon’s proposed legislation this week.

Let’s see more measures like this to save lives.

VOTE AT tricitynews.com/opinion/poll

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:Do you support a bill that would provide drug possession amnesty to those who call 911 in an overdose incident?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:Do you think the Tri-Cities market can accommodate more craft breweries and distilleries?

TC LETTERSWill new rec centre be on solid ground?

COQUITLAM RECREATION

The Editor,Re. “BQ to get rec centre,”

(The Tri-City News, March 16).I’m a little nervous about

the announced partnership between the city of Coquitlam, YMCA and Concert Properties for the provision of recreation facilities in the Burquitlam neighbourhood.

While the project does sound like a win-win-win, as a taxpayer in this community, I am worried that it is being built on a shaky financial founda-tion.

The Tri-City News article states the city will fund its share of the capital cost of the project through community amenity contributions (CAC) from developers in the Burquitlam area. The city expects these contributions to total $25 mil-lion over the next 20 years or so.

Use of CAC raises two con-cerns. One is cash flow. Where will the money come from in the interim to fund the city’s obligations under the partner-

ship agreement? The other, which is more concerning to me as a taxpayer, is financial risk.

The B.C. Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Services has an in-formative publication on CAC available for view online. The guide is clear that municipal governments do not have the legal authority to impose CAC.

I’ve read the relevant council reports available on the city’s website and none of them mention legalities or the risk involved with this type of funding. I rue the day that a disgruntled developer success-fully challenges Coquitlam’s CAC policy in court, leaving the taxpayers of Coquitlam to pay the bill.Mike Carver, Coquitlam

FREE VOTES ALWAYSThe Editor,

Rona Ambrose, interim leader of the federal Conservative Party, summed up Canadian politics this week in one simple sentence: “I have instructed my MPs that the vote on assisted dying is a free vote.”

Should every vote not be a free vote?MPs are elected to represent their constituents in Ottawa.

This just proves that reality is MPs actually represent the party in the constituency and not the people.

Until MPs’ voting in Canada is always free, the country will remain a democracy on paper but not in reality.Grant Crossley, Port Coquitlam

PoCo bike race signs up local corporate backer

POCO GRAND PRIX

Dominion is lead sponsor; corpo-rate teams sought

A Port Coquitlam-based company with strong ties to groups helping young people will be the lead sponsor for the inaugural PoCo Grand Prix.

This week, the city of PoCo named Dominion Lending Centres as the title presenter of the bicycle race, happening in downtown PoCo on July 15.

The national mortgage and leasing company already plays a prominent role in the Tri-Cities, supporting such programs as North Coquitlam United Soccer Club, Bullying Ends Here, I am Someone Ending Bullying Society, Breakfast for Learning and Bikes for Kids.

“Being actively involved in our community is one of things we hold dear at Dominion Lending Centres and I cannot wait for the PoCo Grand Prix this July,” president and CEO Gary Mauris said in a press release.

PoCo Grand Prix is part of the BC Superweek. Other race sponsors include The Tri-City News, Cap’s Westwood Cycle and Metro Ford.

As well, organizers are

inviting local companies to take part by signing up a team for the Corporate Challenge. Corporate teams of four will compete in recreational or competitive races along the same 1.3-kilometre criterium course as the pros.

The Corporate Challenge will take place from 2 to 4:30 p.m., with businesses entering teams of four riders in either the recreational, competitive or women’s divisions. All par-ticipants will receive a jersey branded with their company logo and be hosted in the Mahony and Sons VIP area featuring food, refreshments

and prime viewing of the pro-fessional race.

More details about the Corporate Challenge are posted at www.pocograndprix.ca. Registration is $1,000 per team plus tax, through www.experienceit.ca (registration number 15532); by calling 604-927-7946 or in person at Hyde Creek rec centre.

More information about the event and opportunities to be involved — as a sponsor of one of many volunteers needed to put on the event — can be found at pocograndprix.ca.

Energy, tech topics at Chamber summit

TRI-CITY BUSINESS

DIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

What does the future hold for the economy, technology and energy?

Those are the issues lead-ing industry speakers will be addressing Tuesday, May 10 during the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Summit 2.0.

Chamber executive direc-tor Michael Hind said about 250 business leaders will be converging on the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver to hear eco-nomic, energy and technology future forecasts that could be critical information for their industries. “It’s about leading through uncertain times,” Hind said. “[The question being asked is] how do you manage the change, how do you man-age when times are always changing?”

The panelists are being or-ganized into three categories: technology, energy and a CEO panel, with some notable speakers, including Michael van Hemmen, public policy man-ager with Uber, which has been in the media of late with its push to be allowed to operate in B.C.

“What role does technology play? It’s a big issue and we have some local companies

that are leading in that area,” said Hind, who noted other technology panelists will be Wilkins Chung, co-founder of A Thinking Ape Software; Greg Malpass, CEO and founder of Traction on Demand; and Ryan Peterson, CEO of Finger Food Studios, which is partner-ing with School District 43 to introduce computer coding to students as young as 12 with a programmable app and hard-ware called a Sphero.

As well, Sherry Cooper, chief economist with Dominion Lending Centres, will provide an economic forecast. There will also be an energy panel

with speakers from BC Hydro, Resource Works and Fortis, and a CEO panel featuring Dave Hood of the Original Cakerie; Dave Lanphear, president of Envision Financial; Gary Mauris, CEO Mortgage Centre Canada and president and co-founder of Dominion Lending Centres; and Faye Wightman, former president and CEO of the Vancouver Foundation.

The event runs 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam and registration is available at www.tricitieschamber.com

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWSYolanda Broderick of Soup Sisters with Helen Daniels of Gallery Bistro in Port Moody, where Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers events are held.

Soup Sisters aim to cook & help others

IN THE COMMUNITY

Sisters’ formula is simple: Make soup and help the communitySARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

You can get cooking for a good cause at monthly Tri-Cities Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers events to benefit Joy’s Place.

The local chapter of Soup Sisters recently relaunched, with Port Moody resident Yolanda Broderick now at the helm, and members are invit-ing the public to sign up for scheduled cooking events to be held at the group’s culinary partner, the Gallery Bistro in Port Moody.

Cooking nights are lively social gatherings for up to 16 people; past participants have been groups of co-workers, friends and even a collection of teenage boys, said bistro owner Helen Daniels.

“It’s a social enterprise ven-ture for us,” Daniels said.

Already known for deli-cious soup and sandwiches, the Gallery Bistro was a good fit for Soup Sisters, she added. “People are looking more for an experience instead of just writ-ing a cheque. They’re putting their heart into it.”

Participants pay $55 each to cover the cost of supplies as well as the guest chefs Broderick

hopes to attract for each event. The group is divided into

three stations, one for each fla-vour — chilli, lentil and chicken noodle soups were made at the last event — and given the recipe, ingredients and tools to create 150 to 250 servings. Once the soup is finished and cooling before being packaged in one-litre containers, the “chefs” get to sit down for a light meal and a glass of wine.

The soups are destined for Joy’s Place, an emergency shelter that provides temporary safe shelter and support for adult women and their children who are victims of domestic violence.

Tri-Cities Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers events are scheduled for the last Sunday of each month (with breaks in the summer and at Christmas); the next event is April 24.

• For more information or to register for an event, email [email protected].

Look – but not too closely – at PoMo’s heronsTHE ENVIRONMENT

Many people who stroll along the Shoreline Park trails in Port

Moody have been delighted to observe the growing heronry this spring. This colony, estab-lished only last year, attracted additional pairs of great blue herons this spring and now has seven nests under construction.

These herons are a unique subspecies that, unlike great blue herons in the rest of Canada, do not migrate south each winter. Fewer than 5,000 individuals of this subspecies of herons inhabit coastal areas of British Columbia. Because of their decreasing population, they are considered to be a spe-cies at risk. At just over a metre in height, great blue herons are the largest wading bird in North America.

Great blue herons seek out safe nesting sites in tall trees close to areas where they forage for food in shallow water. These herons mostly nest in groups, a strategy that is thought to

provide some protection from predators such as eagles, crows and raccoons, which can raid their nests.

In the Lower Mainland, many herons nest in a few large colonies of a hundred or more nests. One such well-known heronry is in Stanley Park. Until 2012, another large heronry was located at the mouth of the Coquitlam River in Port Coquitlam. This heronry was abandoned that spring due to what was speculated to be ongoing construction/decon-struction noise from the nearby Port Mann Bridge. About half of these herons appear to have

joined an existing heronry at Deer Lake in Burnaby while the fate of the remaining herons is uncertain. It is surmised the small heronry in Port Moody, which had three or four nests in 2015, may be comprised of some herons from the Coquitlam River group.

While most heronries are vulnerable to disturbance, especially early in the nesting season, the heronry in Stanley Park is situated in an area that receives considerable human traffic beneath the trees. Similarly, the small heronry in Port Moody is close to walking and cycling trails, so these her-

ons also appear to have become accustomed to people on the trails. The city of Port Moody has installed a protective barrier to prevent people from leaving the trails as such an unusual activity could cause the herons to abandon their nests.

Initially, whistles from trains along the nearby tracks were also causing the herons to flush from their nests but, thank-fully, the herons appear to be adapting. It is an offence under the BC Wildlife Act to disturb herons on their nests or to dam-age their nests at any time of the year.

Herons form new pair bonds

each spring but will often reuse existing nests, which will re-quire some repair after winter storms. During the breeding season, adult great blue her-ons develop elegant plumage along their necks and breasts in addition to their white head with a dark eyebrow plus dark epaulets on their shoulders. Their bills turn a bright orange to indicate their breeding status. This colouration quickly fades once eggs are laid.

It’s been wonderful to watch the herons build their twig nests in the Shoreline Park. The male brings a twig, typically stripped from a nearby tree, and pres-ents it to its mate, which then decides where to place it. It should take about three days to construct a nest.

Herons typically lay about four eggs at intervals of two days. Because incubation starts when the first egg is laid, the eggs will hatch sequentially. Thus, in a year when the weather is cold and food is scarce, only the oldest is likely to survive while, in a warm spring with abundant food, the younger nestlings may stand a change of fledging from the nest. In B.C., great blue herons are able to typically raise only one to two juveniles success-fully.

Herons incubate their eggs for 28 days, with both males and females taking turns. In the first three weeks, nestling are

unable to maintain their body temperature, so one parent must always stay on the nest to keep them warm.

Biologists estimate about two thirds of the food consumed by nestlings is used simply to keep them warm. Thus, a cold spring poses considerable challenges for their survival. By three weeks, the growing ap-petites of the nestlings require both parents to forage for food. Herons, which typically catch small fish such as sculpin and perch on an ebbing tide, will forage at sites up to 10 km from their nests, although it is advan-tageous to have an ample food supply closer to their nests.

Juvenile herons fledge from their nests at about two months of age and will quickly disperse. Once they leave the nests, their parents no longer feed them.

Without a doubt, the small colony in the Shoreline Park will continue to delight wildlife watchers over the next three months. It’s a great opportunity to observe a species at risk as they follow their eons-old sur-vival strategies — but please remember to stay on the trails and do not disturb the herons during this critical time.

Hill climbing is great exercise, providing not only a strenuous

cardio workout but also a fan-tastic way to strengthen and tone those leg muscles. And the views make it all worth it!

The Grouse Grind in North Vancouver attracts more than 100,000 hikers every year from all over the Lower Mainland — and beyond — and provides a challenging vertical workout. The Coquitlam Crunch, not quite as strenuous, is also at-tracting an ever-increasing number of hikers and runners.

To escape the crowds, there are a number of other climbing routes in the Tri-Cities, many of which surpass the Grind in both distance and steepness. These are briefly described below in order of difficulty. Note that dis-tances are one-way.

COQUITLAM CRUNCHStarting on Runnel Drive be-

tween Falcon and Lansdowne drives, the Crunch ascends 270

m in 3 km along easy paths and stairs. There are fine views to be had to the south.

FULL PULLThis mountain bike trail is

best accessed from the eques-trian parking lot at Buntzen Lake. The total ascent is 770 m over 5.5 km, with a mixture of easier angled switchbacks and steep sections. At the top, you are rewarded with a spectacu-lar viewpoint looking west.

HALVOR LUNDENThe Halvor Lunden Trail to

Lindsay Lake is a steep trail that rises 1,030 m in 6 km from the main parking lot at Buntzen Lake. Sections of rough trail can be expected along the way and expect snow at the higher elevations into early summer. Lindsay Lake is a worthwhile destination but the hike can be cut short by turning for home at the El Paso junction.

BURKE SUMMITPlan on spending a long

day climbing from Quarry Road on the east side of Burke Mountain to the summit. The total elevation gain is 1,200 m over 7.5 km. On the way, you will pass Munro and Dennett lakes as well as other spectacu-lar viewpoints. Expect snow at the top late into the season.

SWAN FALLSTo reach the start of the

Swan Falls Trail to Mount Beautiful, you will first need to hike 4 km along the east side of Buntzen Lake. The trail then climbs 1,240 m in just 3.9 km, making this easily the steepest and hardest climb of the set. The climb is relentless but the end point — the sum-mit of Mount Beautiful — is one of the best viewpoints in the Tri-Cities. Route finding at the top can be tricky when there is snow on the ground, which will typically linger until late in the season, so be ready for the wet and cold.

Steve Chapman is a Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteer, a

member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and the creator behind

a detailed new map of Tri-City trails. More info on safe hiking:

Liard RiverHot SpringsProvincial Park

Spring is a great time for aBC adventure, especiallywith a faltering loonie makingtravel south of the border socostly. But you’ll have sometough choices. There’sstill plenty of skiing andsnowboarding, but it’s alsotime to hit the hiking trails,launch the boat and breakout the camping gear.

BC boasts more than1,000 provincial parks andprotected areas – frompublic beaches, rare eco-systems and endangeredwildlife habitats to uniquegeography and pricelessFirst Nations heritage.

Whether you’re planninga day out with the kids,a photo safari or epicexpedition, here’s a short listof parks worth visiting.

BRING THE FAMILYVancouver Island offers awonderland of lush forests,ocean shores, seasidetowns and adventure-readyparks. A great choice forfamilies is Englishman RiverFalls Provincial Park nearParksville, where a stroll

through silent forests endsat two thundering waterfalls.

Nearby provincial parksinclude Rathtrevor BeachProvincial Park, renownedfor its long sandcastle-friendly beach, andMacMillan Provincial Park,where Cathedral Grove’smassive old-growthDouglas firs loom abovethe forest floor.

For star gazing and wienieroasts, hop a ferry to SaltSpring Island’s RuckleProvincial Park. The seasidesites are walk-in, but that’spart of the fun: wheelbarrowyour gear a few minutesfrom the parking lot and youhave spectacular oceanviews, easy hiking trails andkilometres of beachcombingwithout a car in sight. RucklePark is set on a century-oldhomestead and is still partworking farm.

WATCH FORWILDLIFEImagine watching mountaingoats and big horn sheepscampering along narrowalpine ledges, or spotting

elk feeding by a forest pool,or seeing huge flocks ofmigratory birds returning tovibrant wetlands.

Thompson Okanaganis best known for itsvineyard-studded hills andabundant orchards, but itslakeside bluffs, pine forests,grasslands and desertlandscapes are favouredhabitats for everything fromdeer and black bears tomuskrats, beavers andbirdlife.

Vaseux Lake Provincial Park,set on a lakeshore betweenPenticton and Oliver, isrenowned for its wildlife.Besides agile mountaingoats and big horn sheep,Vaseux protects a varietyof endangered species,including badgers, bats andnight snakes. Trails lead toneighbouring Vaseux LakeMigratory Bird Sanctuary.

Or head east to the parksof BC’s Kootenay Rockiesregion. Set among thelakes and snow peaks,Kikomun Creek ProvincialPark is home to a wealthof wildlife, including herons,

elk and one of BC’s largestpopulations of endangeredwestern painted turtles.

DIP THE PADDLEDesolation Sound is amagical destination forboaters, kayakers andscuba divers. Two ferryrides north of Vancouver,this island-dotted soundis lapped with clear, warmwaters, peppered withsnug coves and backed bytowering snow peaks.

Desolation Sound is hometo five parks, all withsheltered shorelines, andone of the best ways to seethem is by kayak.

For a very different paddlingexperience, head east tothe Cariboo Chilcotin. Thisvast landscape of ancient

forests, lakes and mountainranges is the setting for thelegendary Bowron LakeCanoe Circuit, a multi-dayexpedition that follows aseries of lakes, streams,rivers and portages inBowron Lake ProvincialPark. The area abounds withmoose, bear, beavers, ottersand birdlife.

Hollingshead takes silver in Quebec CityGET READY TO RUMBLE

Shoulder injury does not deter Coquitlam boxer

A sore shoulder forced Coquitlam fighter Connor Hollingshead to settle for sil-ver at the Canadian Amateur Boxing Championships in Quebec City last week.

The young athlete fought his way through some of the best in the country, winning the first in a unanimous decision, where he suffered the injury.

Going into the second fight of the weekend, this time

against an Ontario opponent, the nagging pain made it dif-ficult for Hollingshead to find the momentum.

“It didn’t feel 100%, but I knew I could still compete,” he said.

Despite the pain, Hollingshead earned a split decision in the second match, setting the stage for a gold-medal finals against another Ontario fighter that took silver at last year’s nationals.

“I went in the ring and gave it everything I had,” he said. “But I ultimately lost the deci-sion and came in second.”

Still, Hollingshead said he

was pleased with the result. The 14-year-old Terry Fox sec-ondary student was the young-est in the 154 lb. weight class in a competition that saw 236 competitors from across the country compete.

“I am proud to leave Quebec with the silver medal,” he said. “I am happy with my overall performance. I trained very hard for the last 12 weeks to prepare for nationals.”

Hollingshead will now turn his attention to an event in Alberta, where he will compete in May for the Diamond Belt Championship.

Turnbull wraps up college volleyball career with female athlete honours VIU Mariner cap-tain leads team to championship title

She has been a national champion, an All-Canadian, a PacWest player of the year, a 2015 gold medalist and a Vancouver Island University athlete of the year.

But Port Coquitlam volley-ball player and VIU Mariners team captain Tylar Turnbull

has one more honour to add to her list of accom-plishments, after she was named female athlete of the year across all

sports in PacWest athletics. Turnbull played her last

game of university athletics in February, wrapping up a career that saw her lead the Mariners women’s team to a

CCAA national title. Along the way, she collected

219 kills and 334 total offen-sive points during the regular season. She also dominated defensively, recording a con-ference high 84 blocks in 87 sets played — 14 more than the next closest block total.

Over the course of her career at VIU, Turnbull has been a coach’s dream.

“She offensively is one of the most dynamic middles in the country, but with her defen-

sive skills, her blocking, she’s just extremely well-rounded,” head coach Shane Hyde told the Nanaimo News Bulletin in February prior to Turnbull’s last game.

The Mariners first scouted their future star back when she was playing for Port Coquitlam’s Riverside second-ary Rapids, where she played between 2007 and 2011. Turnbull was also a member of the 2009 provincial team and represented the region at the

B.C. Summer Games in 2008. She wasn’t seriously con-

sidering VIU, but she was convinced to check out the program and participate in a practice.

“VIU women’s volleyball program is such an amazing program,” she said. “I am so thankful for it, to have had it as part of my life for the last five years.”
