‘IT’S BEAUTIFUL’ HERE, SURREY’S SYRIAN REFUGEES SAYKEVIN DIAKIW

Recently landed in Surrey from the chaos and bloodshed they left behind in Syria, a dozen refugees gathered in a North Surrey hotel last week to describe their experience in Canada.

They were at a press gathering as local grocer Fruiticana donated bags of groceries to the families.

Fruiticana founder Tony Singh committed to

provide enough groceries to feed 500 families for seven to nine days.

Ola Katabi has been here just two weeks and says she loves Canada.

“It’s natural,” the 15-year-old said as she beamed. “It’s beautiful.”

It’s a far cry from where she just left.“In Syria, it’s difficult,” Katabi said. It’s an understatement coming from a girl

fleeing a country gripped in a complex civil

war, where thousands of innocent people are bombed indiscriminately.

The world, including Canada, has started to pay attention since atrocities have come to light. As part of a federal Liberal campaign promise in last fall’s election, 25,000 refugees are heading to Canada in the coming months.

ICBC is vowing to do more to bust auto insurance fraudsters whose scams add an estimated $100 a year to the premiums all other drivers pay.

The public auto insurer released its top “Hall of Shame” fraud claims for 2015 where B.C. resi-dents tried to scam the system last year. They include:

Dish Dodger – A man claimed his crash injuries were so severe he couldn’t help his wife wash the dishes, but investigators later got footage of him lifting a box of heavy floor tiles at his work site. He was fined $1,500 for fraud.

More than 400 fi refi ghters and community members gathered at the Bell Performing Arts Centre on Sunday to show support for a friend and colleague – Surrey Fire Capt. Randy Piticco.

Piticco, 61, died on Dec. 22 after a long battle with presumptive lung cancer.

Friends and family were on hand to remember a man who loved ones said had a tremendous sense of humour and was known for his loyalty to his family and his profession. Piticco’s death was deemed a line of duty death, as it was determined by WorkSafeBC to have been attributed to his decades in the fi re service.

A fi refi ghter for 32 years, Piticco was remembered as a crucial part of the Surrey Fire Service by Chief Len Garis.

Garis described Piticco as a light-

hearted friend who always enjoyed joking around with his crew.

“Being part of the fi re service is not a job, it’s a lifestyle,” said Garis. “Th e fact is, two out of fi ve Canadians will develop cancer in their life, (but) for fi refi ghters that risk is almost 70 per cent who have a risk factor of contract-

ing cancer.”Firefi ghter Mike Mc-

Namara said Piticco was consistent, meticulous and loyal.

He described how as a young boy, while on a trip through Burns Bog with his father, who was also a fi refi ghter, Piticco discover an old fi re truck buried in the mud. Th e 1920 American LaFrance was eventually recovered and restored by the fi re department. Th at same truck carried Piticco’s

remains to the service on Sunday. “It was just so fi tting that Randy

got his last ride on it today,” said McNamara.

A Delta Member of Parliament has once again been recognized for her leadership in sports.

Carla Qualtrough, who was elected as Liberal MP in Delta last year, has made the Most Influential Women List for 2015 from

the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS).

This is the sixth time Qualtrough has received the honour, and she and seven other women who have received it five or more times will be inducted into the new CAAWS Wall of Influence.

The award honours recipients who have made a significant impact in sport and physical activity and are

role models for future generations.“After an exciting year of sport in

Canada, we have seen some very positive shifts with women tak-ing on more leadership roles that influence sport at the highest level, and female athletes showing their influence on and off the field,” said Karin Lofstrom, executive director of CAAWS.

As a swimmer, Qualtrough won three Paralympic and four World

Championship medals. She volunteers with the International Paralympic Committee, the Toronto 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games, has been president of the Canadian Paralympic Committee and chair of the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada.

She’s also on the board of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, and is vice-chair of the Delta Gymnastics Society, as well as being the federal Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities.

Double Dipper – A Vancouver woman who claimed she couldn’t go back to work because of her crash injuries. An anonymous tip helped investigators confirm she had worked since the crash, collecting two paycheques – one from her employer and one from ICBC. Her fraud conviction netted her a one-year driving suspension and $1,750 fine.

Mom Cover-up – A Vancouver island mother claimed her Audi was stolen and crashed and that her sons with access to the car were home. But phone records put one son at the scene of the crash and BC Ferry terminal cam-eras caught the same son buying a ticket. Both were convicted of giving false statements. The mom was fined $2,300, while the son was fined $1,150 and got a one-year driving suspension, plus a 90-day jail term because his licence was already suspended.

Dash Cam Disclosure – A Lower Mainland caught another vehicle sideswiping his on dash cam video and excitedly shared the footage with ICBC. His claim was denied because the video also showed he wasn’t actually driving, as he’d claimed. An unlicensed driver was behind the wheel.

Electronic Exposure – A Fra-ser Valley man was busted by his own BMW after he claimed the car was stolen and burnt to a crisp in a nearby park. The vehicle’s technology proved the man’s key fob had been used at the time of the incident, contrary to what he claimed.

Bus Blues – A bus hit a parked fire truck while turning in a bus loop. After all passengers exited and the driver exchanged information with the fire truck driver, another man claimed to have been on board the bus and later sought compensation. Security camera video showed the man was never on the

bus. He was fined and jailed one night for fraud.

ICBC conducted 7,500 fraud investigations last year and its special investigations unit has secured 550 fraud convic-tions since 2010.

“We’re going to devote more resources than we ever have to rooting out fraud,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said, adding the special investigations unit is being expanded and a new fraud an-alytic tool is being deployed.

An estimated 10 to 20 per cent of auto insurance claims are at least exaggerated if not fraudulent and common scenarios include embellished injuries or owners who falsely claim their car was stolen when they actually sold it.

Organized fraud includes planned staged collisions and “jump-in” schemes where phoney passengers falsely claim to have been in a vehi-cle that crashed.

Many have already arrived and more are to come, with hundreds expected to settle in Surrey.

Scores of them are being housed tempo-rarily at a hotel. One of the biggest barriers, they say, is becoming familiar with a new language.

Katpahi Abdelrazqe spoke through an interpreter and said language is definitely the biggest hurdle he faces.

“So far, I can’t pin-point any (significant) challenges,” he said. “Language is definitely the biggest.”

His six children, aged two to 12, are con-tent and are looking forward to getting back to school, Abdelrazque said.

“God willing, they are very happy to be going to school this year and continuing their education.”

The growing refugee contingent was the

subject of a public forum in Surrey last week.

On Wednesday night, about 350 people packed Fleetwood Park Secondary School to discuss how they could help refugees heading to the city.

Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve said she was delightfully surprised by the large turnout at the event, which was hosted in part by the city.

In addition to the city, officials with the province, immigration workers and police

were also on hand to field questions.

Villeneuve, a long-time social advocate in Surrey, is pleased with how the refugee settle-ment is unfolding.

The City of Surrey has been swamped with calls from people

looking for ways to help. The forum was intended to provide clarity on what could be done.

“We had an over-whelming level of sup-port from the commu-nity,” Villeneuve said in an interview with The Leader on Thursday.

The forum connected those interested with agencies that could accept their assistance. The city is acting as a facilitator.

Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge Bill Fordy gave a presentation to the crowd, noting the Mounties expect no security problems with the new arrivals.

Most of the refugees who have arrived are women and children, Villeneuve noted.

“So far, 60 per cent are under 18,” she said. “And one in four are under five.

“Right now there are 80 children (in Surrey),” Villeneuve said, adding the school district has indicated it will be able to accom-modate the youngsters.

The city is planning to schedule another in-formation gathering in the coming months as more refugees arrive.

“In the spring, we will probably be doing a welcoming event,” Villeneuve said. “We’re just trying to be as sup-portive as possible.”

The Kinder Morgan pipeline runs through our neighbourhood. When the pipeline was built 60 years ago, this was not a residential area. The pipeline was already more than 30 years old when the city rezoned this area for housing, collecting develop-ment permit fees at the time and residential taxes ever since.

Kinder Morgan checks for leaks with weekly helicop-ter flights, spot-checks at ground level, keeps the pipeline route well-marked, keeps tree roots away from the pipeline, and provides emergency information to every home in the neigh-

bourhood every few years.To build houses near the

pipeline and then demand that the pipeline be moved

away because it’s near the houses seems fundamentally unfair to the pipeline owners.

It reminds me of my rela-

tives who owned a chicken farm. People built homes all around their farm, then forced the farm to close because they didn’t like the smell of chickens.

And there are people who’ve built homes near blueberry farms and are now trying to ban the propane cannons the farmers use to scare birds away from their berries.

If you knew, or ought to have known, what you were getting into when you chose where to live, it’s not some-one else’s responsibility to adjust the world to your taste. Those pipelines, chicken farms and propane can-nons all contribute to your enjoyment of a fresh-baked blueberry muffin.

With unlicensed marijuana dispensa-ries popping up in urban areas and thou-sands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational pot use.

Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancou-ver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent.

These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying.

At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclu-sive rights do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That

would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate.

Philpott said the question is “pre-mature” and federal-provincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will have a “task force” too.

Vancouver descended into a pot store free-for-all due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools.

Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent pro-posal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot prod-ucts with exotic names.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interest-ing than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March.

Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell mari-juana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action.

“There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-loca-tion of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspec-tive,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.”

Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government

stores deserves sober second thought and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use.

Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has exist-ed across B.C. for decades.

The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discov-ery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak.

Whatever the source of this cy-ber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C.

For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legaliza-tion is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day.

Re: “Bald eagle numbers have soared over the de-cades,” The Leader, Jan 20.

Migratory birds moving in and feeding is a much different situation from a population rise, which can only be estimated by the number of nests in the area, the number of offspring successfully reared and their survival rate.

No doubt there are more eagles seen than there once were, but this does not alter the fact that in places of high human population and urban development, there are fewer eagles nesting than there once were.

It also depends on how selective you are about “when” you measure from. Taking numbers for compar-ison from the DDT “eagle depletion” years makes the rise look very impressive, but back when this insec-ticide was widely used, the birds were facing possible extinction and so working from here makes a great starting point for a positive spin.

During winter, increased numbers might now be up due to a change of feeding habit (more ducks – which are plentiful – and fewer fish, for example), or perhaps weather conditions elsewhere. Some years you see a lot of snowy owls coming in to over-winter, but many are starving and have come to the area because they are having trouble. The Lower Mainland is a special case in winter as it is one of the few places in Canada that doesn’t turn into an ice box, the consequence being many birds flock here to feed. The situation is there-fore a good deal more complex than “whoopee – more eagles.” The truth is, in many places nesting sites are losing out to development.

TransLink should hive off responsibility for roads and bridges so it can better con-centrate on increasing transit ridership, which has recently declined instead of growing.

Th at’s one of the recommen-dations in a blunt internal report penned by recently departed interim CEO Doug Allen in August after serving six months.

Th e core services review ordered by Allen found a lack of focus on rider-ship by TransLink, partly because it’s also supposed to improve roads and certain bridges – it operates the Pattullo, Knight Street and Golden Ears crossings.

“It is also a con-fl icting mandate as the more effi cient-ly the road and bridge system moves vehicles, the less appealing public tran-sit becomes,” Allen states in his report, released this week through a freedom of informa-tion request.

Growing ridership is not a key priority with specifi c initiatives and strategies to achieve it, the review found, and recent decisions have been “counterproductive.”

Th ey include a sudden large fare hike in 2013 – instead of more gradual hikes – that drove away some users.

And the review suggests TransLink charges drivers too much to use park-and-ride lots, which could draw more transit riders if underused lots

were cheaper. “Having a corporate objec-

tive to maximize revenue from park and ride lots, rather than maximizing the use of the lots to increase ridership can intro-duce a disincentive to taking transit.”

Allen says Metro Vancouver mayors and the province must publicly support transit and TransLink in the future and scolded them for being “openly hostile” at times, harming the beleaguered transit authority.

“Openly criticizing a public agency on a regular basis simply reinforces uninformed

views, particularly if the party doing the criticizing is responsible for the creation of the agency in the fi rst place,” he said, referring to the province.

Allen arrived just as the board and mayors had removed former CEO Ian Jarvis at the outset of last year’s failed plebiscite on a 0.5-per-cent

regional sales tax to fund transit expansion.

He said Metro mayors want-ed TransLink to “keep quiet” even as it faced a growing barrage of criticism led by the Canadian Taxpayers Feder-ation rather than defend its “exemplary” record of effi cien-cy and savings.

“Remaining silent was the worst possible approach, espe-cially during the plebiscite,” he said, adding the public hears only critics if TransLink fails to tell its own story.

Allen said TransLink con-tinues to battle a widely held if misguided perception that it’s “ineffi cient, wasteful and incompetent.”

He said some cities in the region fuel that when they “share the view that TransLink is a bloated bureaucracy, wast-ing dollars and not getting much done.”

Th e B.C. government has so far rejected further gover-nance reforms at TransLink, but Allen’s report argues it’s needed because TransLink’s structure is “unduly complicat-ed and confusing” and leaves the public with virtually no interest or understanding of who is accountable.

Allen suggested some mayors don’t publicly support TransLink because their aim is to turn it into a regional municipal utility.

He argues against giving mayors more control over TransLink, adding an indepen-dent commissioner should be reinstated to approve signifi -cant fare or tax hikes, rather than the the mayors, who should only direct region-al planning and long-term investment, not operational decisions.

Allen said TransLink’s struc-ture with multiple operating subsidiaries with their own boards of directors results in an “awkward” organization with extra costs and potential for confusion.

A small change won’t be enough to regain public trust, Allen predicted, adding the plebiscite result proved Pre-mier Christy Clark’s require-ment of voter approval for any new tax was doomed to fail.

“You cannot ask the public to impose a tax on itself, no matter how sound the invest-ment plan.”

Peter Fassbender, the prov-ince’s minister for TransLink, rejects some of Allen’s asser-tions, including the call for further governance reform and removal of bridge and road authority.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone now says the entry of ride-hailing ser-vices such as Uber into B.C. is inevita-ble, but the province aims to preserve a signifi cant role for the existing taxi industry.

While Stone still maintains Uber would have to get approval from the province’s Passenger Transportation Branch and meet various insurance and safety require-ments, he acknowledged strong public demand for the service, which connects pay-ing passengers with drivers via a smartphone app.

“It’s a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’,” Stone told reporters Wednesday. “Th at industry and its introduction into British Columbia is going to happen at some point.”

He said he wants to ensure any formal entry of ride sharing is “done in a very responsible fashion that also balances the interests and respects the jobs and the investments of the taxi industry.”

It’s a signifi cant shift in tone from stern warnings from Stone in 2014 vowing to send undercover offi cers to bust Uber drivers if the service launched without approval.

Speculation that change is in the air has grown since the BC Liberal party bought online ads asking if it’s time to “welcome the sharing economy.”

Stone said he and his staff are meeting with both Uber and the taxi industry.

He cited the convenience, choice and competition a service like Uber would bring to what has been a taxi industry monopoly, adding it could be “very complementary” and not necessarily detrimental to cab fi rms.

“British Columbians are expecting at some point sooner rather than later they’re going to have those additional choices.”

Stone said the taxi industry wants and deserves a “level playing fi eld” and

he credited its work to serve disabled passengers with accessible taxis and specialized driver training.

Disability Alliance B.C. Executive Director Jane Dyson said the safety and comfort of people with disabilities and frail seniors is paramount.

“Th ere have been some concerns that the introduction of Uber may weaken the availability of trained taxi drivers working within the taxi industry,” Dyson said.

“We know that HandyDart rides are increasingly being buttressed by taxi

trips and with the aging of the population that is likely to continue. If Uber came into the market we would want to see it strictly regulated, as the taxi industry is.”

Uber and taxi industry representatives have been going from city to city in Metro Vancouver seeking support from local poli-ticians. It’s also become an issue in the Coquitlam byelection, where the B.C. Liberal candidate has promised to champion sharing services like Uber and Airbnb.

NDP leader John Hor-gan questioned why Stone has performed a “com-plete 180” from his earlier anti-Uber rhetoric.

He suggested the Lib-erals are either in secret

talks to cut a deal with Uber or are try-ing to “curry favour” in the byelection.

Horgan called on the government to put ride sharing and similar issues to open debate in the legislature through a non-partisan committee.

“If we’re going to throw out what has been a many decades long system that has protected the taxi industry, certainly, and also protected custom-ers, let’s have a discussion about that,” Horgan said.

“Let’s do it in a way that’s not just more backroom deals by Liberals.”

He said more answers are needed about the “consequences to family businesses” as well as the degree to which San Jose-based Uber would eff ectively be taking revenue out of B.C. and only returning some of it to its drivers here.

Two men, one of them from Surrey, have been charged in con-nection with a daytime police-involved shoot-ing that took place in a store parking lot in New Westminster Jan. 15.

New Westminster police were initially called for a report of a man causing a disturbance around noon near a Walmart in the Queensbor-ough area.

Th e man was taken into custody, but then a second incident unfolded involving a diff erent man, and a police offi cer fi red a gun.

Th e second man was taken to hospital, but later released.

Surrey resident Nathan McVannell, 32, has since been charged with aggra-vated assault, use of a firearm while attempting to commit an indictable offence, theft, resisting arrest,

possession of a pro-hibited firearm and breaching firearms prohibition.

“Our Major Crime Unit continues to investigate the events from last week, and is asking for any wit-nesses to please call us,” said Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott of the New Westminster Police Department.

“Th ese are very complex investigations that require a lot of expertise, and informa-tion from witnesses is extremely valuable.”

Th e Independent Investigations Offi ce, which probes police involved shootings or deaths, is also investi-gating.

Langley’s Henry Bennett Smith, 31, (the fi rst man who was arrested) was charged with breach of proba-tion.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the NWPD Major Crime Unit at 604-525-5411.

Charges follow police-involved shooting

A Surrey Mountie facing sev-eral gun charges has swapped a jury of his peers to a judge alone.

Surrey RCMP Const. David Matthew Clarke appeared before Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey Monday in New Westminster Supreme Court, where he faced eight gun-re-lated charges.

That’s down from 12, as Arnold-Bailey ruled the evi-dence from a police search of a Surrey home was inadmis-sible.

Th e evidence found at a Chilliwack home is still before the courts.

Clarke is facing charges related to possession of an FN FAL semi-automatic rifle and a Colt semi-automatic handgun.

Th e date of the alleged off enses occurred Oct. 1, 2010 in Surrey and Chilliwack.

He is due back in court on Friday, when Arnold-Bai-ley will give her reasons for dismissing the evidence at the Surrey residence.

A trial will resume from there.

TOM FLETCHER

Former finance minister Carole Taylor has signed on as an advisor to Premier Christy Clark as the B.C. gov-ernment examines what to do with the carbon tax Taylor introduced in 2008.

Clark announced the appointment Monday, saying she will call on Taylor’s experience on advancing the province’s greenhouse gas reduction program. Taylor will work from the premier’s Vancouver office and be paid a nomi-nal $1 a year.

As a former Vancouver city council-lor and advisor to Ottawa, Taylor will also give input on the province’s effort to rein in soaring housing prices in Metro Vancouver, Clark said.

Taylor told reporters she has spoken to Harvard and Stanford Universities in the U.S. on the B.C. carbon tax experience, and is looking forward to providing policy advice to B.C. on where to go from here.

The B.C. tax has been frozen at $30 a tonne since 2013, adding about seven cents to the price of a litre of gasoline with similar increases for natural gas and other heating fuels.

Taylor is the latest of a series of special advisors to Clark, after former Encana CEO Gwyn Morgan and former Canfor and Finning ex-ecutive Jim Shepard.

Taylor served one term in former pre-mier Gordon Camp-bell’s cabinet before retiring from politics in late 2008, when she was appointed chair of a new federal government economic advisory panel.

Since leaving B.C. politics, Taylor served on the board of directors of the TD Bank and as chan-cellor of Simon Fraser University.

B.C.’s economy is fore-cast to grow at a healthy clip of three per cent this

year, despite growing global financial uncer-tainty that has seen stock markets plunge

and the Canadian dollar swoon in tandem with the dive in oil prices.

That prediction comes from Central 1 Credit Union Senior Economist Bryan Yu, who says the province will lead Cana-da in growth and should weather the global economic turmoil well, thanks to improved exports and tourism due to the weak loonie.

“B.C. will continue to benefit from low interest rates and a lower currency, despite challenges presented by a weak commodity sec-tor,” Yu said. “Lifted by household demand and

housing investment, economic growth will ease slightly from 2015 but remain moderate.”

Yu also expects eco-nomic growth to aver-age three per cent from 2017 on, with steady consumer activity and higher business in-vestment tied to major project construction.

His forecast assumes one large liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal will be built in B.C. and Yu cautioned growth would be slower at about 2.5 per cent and unemployment higher by 0.5 per cent if a new LNG plant fails

to materialize.He predicts unemploy-

ment will edge up slight-ly in 2016 to 6.3 per cent before declining in subsequent years.

The forecast is in con-trast to a new Insights West poll that shows B.C. residents have become more pessimis-tic about the economy and many are adopting a frugal mindset.

Two in five of those surveyed expect B.C.’s economy to decline and at least 40 per cent said they plan to slash spending on entertain-ment, new clothes or dining out.

After more than fi ve years of planning and development, Coast Capital Savings, Canada’s largest credit union by membership, has now moved into its new headquarters in Surrey’s City Centre.

Th e new building – dubbed “Help Headquarters – is the antithesis of a traditional corporate head offi ce.

Each of the six open-concept fl oors incorporate formal and informal community spaces, including several individual and smaller meeting rooms.

In addition, there are “touch-down” zones where staff can access the latest technology to fi le-share and problem-solve, and “collision zones” where staff from diff erent departments – who traditionally may not work together – can quickly collaborate and foster better working relationships.

Every fl oor also takes into account employee needs by providing unique spaces – from themed cafes to recreational and quiet spaces, to meeting pods.

“Coast Capital is not your typical fi nancial institution,” said Mark Whitehead of Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership Architects, the fi rm that designed the building. “Th is building had to refl ect that. It couldn’t be your standard monolithic skyscraper. It had to mirror the organization’s innovative, irreverent, fun-loving brand.”

PCI Developments Corp. constructed the 185,000-sq.-ft. facility on King George Boulevard near 100 Avenue, which is the fi rst of four phases of a planned mixed-used and tran-sit-oriented community.

Extensive research led to a marriage of offi ce design, technology and work lifestyle features. Designed to appeal to the changing needs of today’s workers, in particular younger workers, the new offi ce space refl ects their values of trans-parency and community, and fosters collaboration.

Help Headquarters is also located closer to where its em-ployees live. With 70 per cent of its headquarters staff living

south of the Fraser, Coast Capital Savings decided to locate its new head offi ce in Surrey’s downtown centre near the King George SkyTrain Station.

“We deliberately moved away from what is seen as a tradi-tional head offi ce, in every way. We chose a building with an unconventional design because we felt it was very important to align our new corporate home with our brand,” said Don Coulter, CEO of Coast Capital Savings. “Th e guiding princi-ples for this project included a creative and accessible work environment, community connection, and environmental sustainability.”

Help Headquarters will bring 700 full-time employees to the nine-storey development, which also includes retail and commercial businesses, plus an on-site daycare centre and full-service gym with yoga studio and lunchtime fi tness classes.

“Surrey is attracting an increasing number of head and regional offi ces,” noted Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner. “We are thrilled Coast Capital Savings has chosen to stay and grow in Surrey.”

Still to come at the site – called “the HUB” – is 345,000 square feet of retail space and more than a million square feet of condos.

Wood Design & Building Magazine, in partnership with the Canadian Wood Council, has announced that Surrey’s new Guildford Aquatic Centre is a recipient of its 2015-16 North American Wood Design Award of Honour.

The new 75,000-sq.-ft. Guildford Aquatic Centre, which opened March 23, 2015, was designed by Bing Thom Archi-tects and associate firm Shape Architecture.

It features an eight-lane 50m FINA-certified Olympic-size main pool; a leisure pool equipped with spray features, a lazy river and waterslide; a family-friendly hot tub, steam room and dry sauna; and a 300-seat spectator area.

The centre’s specialty 29-metre-long wood trusses include built-in “up-lighting,” which simulates natural light, and a unique catwalk for convenient maintenance.

“All parties involved in this project put forth exceptional work and vision in bringing this state-of-the-art facility to life, and this award certainly recognizes a commitment to excellence in our civic infrastructure projects,” said Mayor Linda Hepner.

The $47.3-million upgrade includes a 2,600-sq.-ft. fitness centre expansion, redesigned lobby space, the addition of a two-level parkade and completion of a youth park. A jury of prominent architects from Canada and the U.S. selected category winners from 140 online submissions. Award criteria included creativity, distinctive and appropriate uses of wood materials, ability to satisfy building and site requirements, and overall aesthetic appeal for the use and application of wood.

For more information about the award, visit the Canadian Wood Council at www.cwc.ca

Surrey’s excellence in fi nancial reporting has been recog-nized again, as it scoops a national award for budgeting for the 18th year in a row.

Surrey’s annual fi nancial report for 2015 has been judged by the Canadian Review Committee for the Gov-ernment Finance Offi cers Association for the U.S. and Canada, and is listed as a winner for the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting.

Surrey was recognized as demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” de-signed to clearly communicate the municipali-ty’s fi nancial picture. 

“Th e City of Surrey goes beyond the min-imum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to provide full disclo-sure and I am pleased that we have been recognized for our continued commitment to openness and accountability at city hall,”

Mayor Linda Hepner said in a release. Th e award recognizes quality in governmental accounting

and fi nancial reporting and represents a signifi cant accom-plishment by a municipal government and its management.

Some of the financial pressure faced by prospective business students in B.C. can be re-duced,  thanks to David Black, owner of Black Press (which owns this newspaper).

Graduating high school students in 37 of the province’s school districts intending to study business at the University of Vic-toria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business can apply for a $5,000 scholarship.

The Black Press Business Scholarship is awarded based on academic merit, leadership and a demonstrated desire to make a positive difference in the world. Students must apply to the Gustavson School of Business, Bachelor of Commerce Program before Feb. 28 to be eligible.

Last year’s recipients include Surrey’s Elgin Park Secondary

grad Taylor Walters and South Delta Secondary graduate Kris Jantsch.

Walters, who is from White Rock, will be starting first-year studies at the University of Victo-ria (UVic) this September and will be studying business in the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business in the hopes of obtaining her Bachelor of Commerce.

“After receiving my degree, my goal is to write my LSATs, go to law school and finally earn my law degree,” said Walters. “From there I would like to find a job as a lawyer mostly focusing on business-related law.”

Outside of school-related activ-ities, Walters is keen on sports and fitness, especially soccer, skiing and personal fitness. She also plays the piano and is an avid reader.

Jantsch grew up in Tsawwassen and graduated from South Delta Secondary’s French Immersion program last June, receiving a double Dogwood Diploma. He too will be starting his first year at Gustavson. 

Throughout his years in Tsaw-wassen, Jantsch played compet-itive soccer for the local club and

the senior school team.“I hope to continue with this

sport at UVic at the intramural level,” he said. “I am also looking forward to focusing my commerce degree in the field of international business.  My goal is to have an international career in finance and banking.”

Information about the Black Press scholarship is online at: www.gustavson.uvic.ca/blackpress

The scholarship was established in 2008 by Black to give students from across the province access to a business education.

Black chose the Gustavson School of Business because of the innovative program format. Stu-dents spend their last two years of their degree fully immersed in the business school where they can specialize in entrepreneurship, service management, internation-al business or management where they customize a program that suits their interests.

Every student takes at least two paid co-operative work terms, has the opportunity to participate in an international exchange, and learns about sustainable business practices.

To the casual hockey fan, the Top Prospects Game might seem like an all-star game, where the biggest names in the sport participate in a non-contact exhibi-tion.

In fact, it’s anything but.For the past two decades, the Canadian Hockey

League (CHL) has brought the best draft-eligible play-ers together for one showcase game, featuring the top 40 prospects playing with and against each other.

The Vancouver Giants will host the 21st annual BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game tomorrow (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum. It’s the second time the Giants have hosted the event, which features players from the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League com-peting before numerous NHL scouts.

For 12 hours last weekend, the Valley West Hawks had dropped to second place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML).

But by Sunday afternoon, they were back atop the stand-ings, making up for a poor performance Saturday with a 3-1 victory over the Cariboo Cougars.

Th e Cougars, 9-4 winners Saturday over the Hawks in the fi rst of two games played in Richmond as part of the MML’s Showcase Weekend, are tied for fi rst with Valley West on points. But the 23-6-1 (win-loss-tied) Hawks have played two fewer games than Cariboo (22-7-3) and have now won the head-to-head season series.

Cariboo got off to a fast start to the weekend, scoring three times in the fi rst eight minutes of play and taking a 4-1 lead after one period of play. Th ey were up 6-2 after 40 minutes.

James Malm was in on all four Hawks goals, scoring twice and assisting on the other two from Michael Farren and Christian Bosa.

Th e Hawks scored three times with the man advantage, but allowed one shorthanded goal.

Malm was again the off ensive leader Sunday, as the Hawks shut out Cariboo for much of the game. Ben Evanish gave Valley West a 1-0 lead after one period, with Malm drawing an assist.

Malm tallied once each in the second and third periods, giving Valley West a 3-0 lead before the Cougars scored their lone goal with ju st two minutes remaining.

With 10 games remaining on their regular season sched-ule, the Hawks will play twice against the fi fth-place Fraser Valley Th underbirds (14-10-6) next weekend. Th e fi rst game is Friday night at 7 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre, with the rematch set for Saturday at 4 p.m. in the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

Burzan off to Youth Olympics

Luka Burzan of the Hawks will represent Canada at the Winter Youth Olympic Games Feb. 12-21 in Lillehammer, Norway.

Burzan, 15, is from Surrey and was drafted sixth overall by the Moose Jaw Warriors in the Western Hockey League’s Bantam Draft last spring.

In 25 games played, he has scored 14 goals to go with a team-high 29 assists.

“We’re excited for Luka. Every Canadian hockey player dreams of wearing the Maple Leaf on the interna-tional stage,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “To get his chance so early speaks to the countless hours of training.”

Last season Burzan played for the North Shore Winter Club’s Bantam A1 team, which won the Western Canada championship. He was also a member of Team BC at the Western Canada Challenge Cup in Calgary, winning a bronze medal.

Five teams will compete at the Youth Olympics. Finland, Norway, Russia and the United States are the other four nations.

Three local athletes are among the finalists for Sport BC’s Ath-ete of the Year Awards.

Michelle Kim and Christobel Nettey of Surrey, and North Delta’s Michael Milic are one of three finalists in their respective award categories.

The awards ceremony will be on Thursday, March 10 in Vancouver.

Kim, a golfer currently attend-ing the University of Idaho, is a finalist for the Female Junior Athlete of the Year award.

In the 2015 season, Kim won the CJGA Western Canadian Junior Championship in March at Surrey’s Northview Golf and Country Club and also won the Canadian Junior Championship in Yorkton, Saskatchewan in August. She also became the first golfer from British Columbia to receive the Canadian Ju-nior Golf Association’s (CJGA) Helena Harbridge Sportsman-ship Award, which recognizes sportsmanship, dedication and commitment.

“I’ve always had big goals and dreams for golf,” Kim said. “This game requires commitment and dedication, and golf has taught

me both of those things.”Also nominated for the Female

Junior Athlete of the Year award are Emily Overholt of West Van-couver (swimming) and Raquel Tjernagel of New Westminster (athletics).

Milic, along with Markus Thormeyer of Tsawassen (swim-ming) and Khyber Barnett of Vancouver (karate), is a finalist in the Male Junior Athlete of the Year category.

Milic won the gold medal in the Junior Elite category at the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon in Kelowna, and won a silver medal in the individual men’s triathlon at the Western Canada Summer Games. He was also

Christabel Nettey is a finalist for the Female Senior Athlete of the Year award, as is Sophie Schmidt of Vancouver (soccer) and Kim Gaucher of Mission (basketball).

Nettey, a graduate of Johnston Heights Secondary, won the gold medal in the long jump at the Pan American Games in Toronto and placed fourth in the same event at the World Champi-onships in Beijing, China.

RICK KUPCHUK

Three local hockey players have been listed in the NHL (National Hockey League) Central Scouting midterm rankings.

Jakub Stukel of the Calgary Hitmen was ranked 113th,

teammate Beck Malenstyn was slotted 124th, while Ty West-gard of the Victoria Royals was listed at 176th.

All three are forwards and play in the Western hockey League (WHL).

Stukel has 24 goals and 36 assists in 44 games this sea-son. The Surrey native began the year with the Vancouver Giants, but was traded to the Hitmen in late October after

scoring twice in 10 games with Vancouver.

Malenstyn, from Delta, has five goals and 20 points in 44 games.

Westgard, from Surrey, be-gan the season with the Surrey Eagles of the B.C. Hockey League, but made the jump to the Royals in mid- December. He has played 12 games with Victoria, and has a pair of assists.

Three noticed by NHL scouting▶ LOCAL PLAYERS LISTED AS PROSPECTS FOR NEXT SUMMER’S ENTRY DRAFT

was recently named one of the two cap-tains for the game. But the Edmonton native, who has eight goals and 26 points in 28 games played after missing much of the first two months of the season with an undisclosed injury, will now miss the game.

“It’s been a bit frus-trating this season. It’s my draft year, and I had to deal with the surgery,” Benson said last week. “But I hope to be 100 per cent for the game.”

Benson is again on the injury list and will be replaced by team-mate Ty Ronning, an 18 year-old from Burn-aby who has netted 26 goals and 41 points in 45 games played.

Hockey Night in Can-ada legend Don Cherry and National Hockey

League (NHL) Hall of Famer Bobby Orr are the guest coaches for the game. Benson will captain Team Cherry.

This will be the 16th time in the past 21 years Cherry has been behind the bench at a Top Prospects game, and he recalled how quickly his impression of the game changed once he got involved.

“My first thought was this would be an all-star game, like it is in the NHL,” he said. “But when I first walked into a room, I thought ‘Holy smoke, these guys are ready. This is no all-star game.’

“The kids took it se-riously, because there were 200 scouts in the building.”

Everyone selected will get a regular shift throughout the game, Cherry promised.

“We just put them

out there. You can’t start favoring one guy over another, or someone else will get short-changed. You put the lines out there, and you give them some encouragement.”

The Giants will

resume their West-ern Hockey League schedule immediately after the Top Prospects Game, hoping to end a slide which has seen them lose six of their past seven games.

They visit the

Kamloops Blazers Friday night, before hosting the Lethbridge Hurricanes Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum.

The Giants ended a four-game losing streak last Friday, defeating the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-1 at the Pacific Coliseum.

Chase Lang gave the Giants a 1-0 lead after one period, netting his 17th goal of the season seven minutes into the game. The Tigers drew even with a powerplay tally in the second frame, sending the teams into the third tied 1-1.

The Giants respond-ed with three unan-swered goals for the win. David Brumm notched a pair, includ-ing the winner, with Ben Thomas adding one.

Surrey native Trevor

Cox, acquired by the Giants from Medicine Hat early this season, played in his 300th WHL game and had a pair of assists against his former team.

Ryan Kubic was in the Giants goal, stop-ping 28 shots. Vancou-ver outshot Medicine Hat 30-29.

The Giants trav-eled to the provincial capital for two games against the Victoria

Royals, and were swept, losing 8-0 Saturday night and 4-1 Sunday afternoon.

Victoria outshot Vancouver 30-27, and led 1-0 and 4-0 at the period breaks Saturday. Jake Morrisey made his third start of the season for the Giants, making 22 saves.

Sunday afternoon, Kubic was back in the Vancouver goal, but the Giants again struggled

to keep pace with the Royals. Outshot 45-28, Vancouver trailed 4-0 after one period and were down 5-0 late in the game when Bren-nan Menell scored his fifth of the season with 96 seconds left to play.

The Giants have dropped to 18-27-5 (win-loss overtime loss) on the season, and are now eight points away from a playoff position.
