Tram ‘tots’ to ride once more

By Jennifer Lang On a spring morning 60 years ago, an excited group of school children from Yarrow Elementary clambered aboard a big red train for a ride home from Chilliwack.

They watched in awe as a yellow diesel hooked the interurban car to a freight train, and then they were off.

For some of the kids, it was their very first train ride.

“With more bell-ringing and horn blowing than usually accompanies a freight run, the train pulled into Yarrow 45 minutes later to discharge its young cargo,” the Chilliwack Progress reported on May 4, 1955.

The hoot of the B.C. Electric Interurban hadn’t been heard in the Fraser Valley in five years – the passenger trains had been replaced by buses, and there was no longer electric power for the trams on the valley line.

The Grade 3 students had been studying transportation in class, and their teacher thought a train ride would be a fitting conclusion.

She wrote to BCE president Dal Grauer, who passed the request onto the interurban and freight department, the paper reported. “And last

Wednesday, BCE training instructor Ralph Grieve was at the siding near the bus depot with a train ready and waiting.”

After stepping off and inspecting the red caboose, the children waved to the engineer and crew as the train resumed its trip to New Westminster.

“It took 38 eager youngsters to bring the interurban out of its fiveyear retirement for one last special run,” the story ended.

Fast forward to August 2014, when a woman named Elsie Giesbrecht was taking a tour of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society’s operations in Cloverdale.

As tour guide Hugh Parkinson pointed to a display featuring photos of that historic Yarrow field trip on car 1304, Giesbrecht gasped, “I know those kids!”

Parkinson then pointed to the teacher, identified as Miss J. Fowlie in a clipping from the B.C. Electric Family Post.

“That’s JOY Fowlie,” she told him.

“You know this teacher?” Parkinson recalls asking. “And she said, ‘Yes! She was my teacher.”

B.C. ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES COMMISSION

New seats have been proposed for Surrey and Richmond in the latest electoral boundary review.

Anne Dyck, her sister Marlene Penner, and Elsie Giesbrecht tour interurban car 1304, the focus of ongoing restoration efforts in Cloverdale. Penner’s Grade 3 class rode the car on its final journey and are planning a summer reunion here.

New riding proposed for Surrey

By Tom Fletcher New MLAs for Surrey and Richmond and adjustments to other electoral boundaries have been proposed before the 2017 provincial election in B.C. The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended the changes after studying population data and touring the province last year.

If approved, they will bring the number of MLAs in the B.C. legislature from 85 to 87.

Boundary shifts in fastgrowing Surrey would produce two new constituency

names, with Surrey South inserted between the existing Surrey-Cloverdale and Surrey-White Rock seats.

The other new seat is Richmond-Queensborough, taking in an area of New Westminster to balance the population of the existing constituencies in the region.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Thomas Melnick said efforts were made to keep “communities of interest” together, while equalizing the populations of constituencies as much as possible.

Even at that, the population of some urban constituen-

cies is as much as 60 per cent higher than rural seats, where travel by the elected representative is much more time consuming.

The commission, which is required to review boundaries after every election, is prevented from combining seats in the Cariboo-Thompson, Columbia-Kootenay and North regions.

Other major changes involve shifts in Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack boundaries, and including Hope in the Fraser-Nicola constituency that extends up to Merritt.

Greens choose Anderson Cloverdale-Langley City’s newest federal candidate is ready for an election call

By Jennifer Lang Voters in CloverdaleLangley City will have a Green Party candidate to consider when Prime Minister Stephen Harper calls the next election.

It’s supposed to be Oct. 19, but speculation is rampant that it could be sooner.

Surrey’s Scott Anderson, the Green Party of Canada’s candidate, says his campaign team will be ready, midApril.

The party campaign office, located at #2 20461 Douglas Cres., Langley, is holding a grand opening this Saturday (April 4), from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The newly-created federal riding is considered an important strategic riding for the party in the region.

“Everybody’s going to hear from us,” Anderson, 44, told The Reporter during a wide-ranging telephone interview.

“We’re going to visit every home in Clover-

dale and Langley City.”

Anderson has lived in the area his entire life. He now lives in Cloverdale, but is building a new home in Langley City.

He’s been in the construction industry for 17 years, and has run his own small business for the past four.

He says he’s committed to returning democratic rule to Canada, wants to reduce industry’s footprint on the environment, protect small businesses, and fight for long-term federal transit funding.

Locally, Anderson may be best known for his involvement in a neighbourhood dispute with the City of Surrey over proposed widening of 72 Avenue in Clayton from two lanes to four.

“We lobbied to stop the expansion,” he said.

The city eventually backed off.

“I felt, wow, we can actually make a difference here. Everybody said it couldn’t be

done,” he said. “Everybody said, ‘It’s impossible. You can’t fight it.

It’s government.’ It was kind of a watershed moment. You realize: Change is possible.”

A relative newcomer to politics, he is a former Conservative who says the Green Party is really the best option.

“Voters are sick of ossified thinking in parliament,” he said.

“Voters really need a centre line party to choose. The Green Party is the future of Canada.”

He believes the Harper regime is distancing itself from the Conservative Party’s core supporters.

He views the proposed anti-terror Bill C-51, which has drawn wide opposition, as a recent, troubling, example of the party’s inability to accurately gauge public opinion.

“It seems [Harper] is trying to create a police state,” he said. “I don’t believe Canadians should have to live in fear of their government.” He is worried

that the bill will mean Canada’s intelligence agency, CSIS, will have broader powers and less oversight, creating a secret service police force.

“It’s absolutely outrageous. This is not going to make Canadians safer.”

Anderson has been a Green Party supporter for several years and decided to get more involved.

He’s drawn to what he sees as the party’s commitment to the grassroots, allowing MPs to vote freely in the House of Commons.

‘We’re going to visit every home in Cloverdale and Langley City.’

“They don’t whip their votes. As an MP, you can vote for your constituency. You don’t have to vote with the Green Party. To me, that’s huge.”

Transit is the key issue in CloverdaleLangley City, he says, promising to fight for federal funds for transit infrastructure.

“Cloverdale residents were given a promise in 1986 that the SkyTrain route would be continued down Fraser Highway to Langley.

That’s a long promise that’s never come to fruition.”

He sees that most of the new residential

growth in the region is occurring south of the Fraser River in places like Cloverdale and the Clayton Heights enclave – one of the fastest-growing neighbourhoods in the region.

“It’s absolutely amazing, the growth there, and it’s missing some major infrastructure, the keys to make it a proper community.”

The new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City has been created out of portions of the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, Fleetwood-Port Kells and Langley ridings.

With no incumbent, it’s shaping up to be an historic race.

Anderson is the third federal candidate to come forward – John Aldag is the Liberal Party candidate, and former Langley Township councillor Dean Drysdale is running for the Conservative Party, after after winning the party’s nod last November.

Both are Langley residents.

The New Democratic Party of Canada has not yet announced its candidate for CloverdaleLangley City, however, party leader Thomas Mulcair was in Surrey a few weeks ago.

Mulcair tweeted a photo March 19 showing him making samosas with the staff at Aggarwal Sweets in Surrey. “Of course we had to taste a few afterward,” he said.

or those who drink responsibility, the opening up of B.C.’s liquor policies can only be a good thing.

From Sunday openings at B.C. government liquor stores to the convenience of B.C. wine availability at grocery stores, buying booze will become more convenient.

But make no mistake, competitive pricing will also be necessary in this new environment. The government has already promised to level the playing field with wholesale pricing so private liquor stores will no longer be at a disadvantage.

It will be up to consumers to determine where they get the most bang for their buck and for the first little while, it’s going to take some comparison shopping.

Many fear this switch to a new wholesale pricing system will hike prices of more expensive hooch. Others worry that if the gov-

All this and some worrying secrecy as the government failed to release its prices, last week to the disappointment of many.

Meanwhile, private liquor stores, which already have taxin pricing, aren’t likely to change their system in line with the government liquor stores and so it will be up to consumers to see where they get the most value.

As for private liquor stores, will there be lower shelf prices with the promised harmonizing of alcohol prices they get from the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch? Typically, private stores charge a bit more for booze,

Points of view

I wanted to say my husband and I really liked the message that B. J. Brown wrote in The Reporter (“Retirees like us survive through cautious spending,” March 26).

My husband has said to me for many, many years, “Why are we paying school taxes? We never had children. I wonder if we can get that money back?”

Why are we paying for school taxes? With kids or not.

because they’ve been paying more to obtain it, but consumers will want to see if private retailers are passing any savings on to customers.

Where all this will lead is uncertain but the province undoubtedly doesn’t want to lose its competitive advantage because booze revenue provides a hefty sum of cash to government coffers — as much as $4.3 billion, according to the BC Government Employees Union, which represents government liquor store workers.

The goal should be responsible alcohol consumption, convenience and competitive pricing to benefit the consumer as well as a revenue stream that keeps both government and private liquor stores strong.

BIA calls AGM City deems budget ‘insufficient’

By Jennifer Lang The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association has called an annual general meeting for this coming Monday (April 6) to approve a revised 2015 budget – and hold a re-election of directors.

The City of Surrey has deemed that there was insufficient detail provided to the association’s membership on this year’s budget, as presented on July 9, 2014, according to a letter sent to Cloverdale BIA members.

The purpose of the April 6 meeting is to review the 2015 budget, which shows a new, strategic direction in operation.

The BIA is working with the City of Surrey on a number of beautification initiatives, the letter reads, including short-term landscaping on Highway 10 and Highway 15, along with plans for new gateway signage at Highway 15 and Highway 10, plus smaller gateway signs at the edge of the town centre.

The revised budget also sets out more money and resources for business recruitment, and earmarks additional funds for safety and security, plus communications projects.

The Cloverdale BIA has a $230,000 budget for 2015. The audited financial statements for the year ending Dec. 31, 2014 will be presented at the meeting, and will also be online for review at www.cloverdalebia.com.

The meeting runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Cloverdale Legion auditorium, at 17567 57 Avenue.

Here’s the rest of the story...

The final paragraphs of a story about a local second hand boutique’s charity efforts (“Boutique helps charity drive off in new car,” March 26) were cut off, due to a production error.

The story was about Inn for Women, a clothing store in Cloverdale staffed by volunteers. It’s been open for three months, and has already been able to purchase a new car for the charity it assists, SAS Surrey.

The social enterprise endeavour was launched by local retailer Yvonne Hogenes and partners.

Here are the remaining paragraphs: Hogenes has announced that the Inn for Women boutique was able to purchase a Caspian Sea Nissan.

“That you to all of our amazing supporters, shoppers, donors and volunteers,” she wrote on her Facebook page. “This is what can be accomplished when we all work together.”

SAS provides safe homes, education, addiction prevention programs and more, assisting exploited women and youth in Surrey.

The car will be used for appointments, shopping and more, Hogenes said.

Interurban ride sparked love of trains From page one

Giesbrecht was a couple of years behind that class, but she knew most of the children in the photo, and the Abbotsford resident is still in touch with many of them today.

To Parkinson’s utter amazement, she proceeded to list their names.

For members of the Fraser Valley Heritage Society, the moment ended years of speculation and wonder: Just who were these kids?

What did they think as they rode the last interurban in the valley?

And how on Earth did their teacher convince the power company to bring a car out of retirement for the day?

Car 1304 is undergoing painstaking restoration efforts, but it’s hoped she’ll mark her triumphant rebirth in 2016 or ‘17 as part of the society’s heritage rail operations.

And when she does, the society wants to invite those now-grown school children to the launch.

But it seems the Yarrow Elementary alumni aren’t prepared to wait that long. A Grade 3 class reunion this summer at Cloverdale Station is already in the works.

“We will be one excited bunch!” says White Rock’s Marlene Penner, a friend of Giesbrecht’s who is one of the 38 Yarrow students who rode the train that day.

She doesn’t remember much, “Except it was a lot of fun!”

Penner remembers hearing a story about someone who stuck

their head out of the Interurban window, only to lose their dentures.

“Somehow, I remember that, from that trip.

All those little kids laughed, because a lot of people had dentures in those days,” she giggles. “Here we are, all these little kids on this train, and we’re all excited and hearing different stories.”

The local paper recorded the historic final run of the B.C. Electric interurban back in 1955, when a Grade 3 class from Yarrow Elementary took the field trip of a lifetime.

last week. They also got a chance to explore car 1304.

“It’s nostalgic in a way,” Penner reflected.

“It’s like, ‘Oh my goodness – I remember this and I was on that train.’

It was a fun thing.”

She’s thrilled with the prospect of meeting up with her former classmates this summer.

“It was really quite a day,” she said.

She’s already started contacting former classmates about the

reunion, and they sound just as excited. It seems their childhood ride on the interurban sparked a life long love of trains for several of them.

One classmate plans holidays around train excursions and even celebrated a wedding anniversary on a dinner train.

“The train ride in 1955 had always stuck somewhere in the back of my mind,” emailed another, who just six weeks ago went to the

Chilliwack archives to look up the event, and found the Progress article.

“That Grade 3 class loved trains!” Penner said. They still have to set a reunion date, but they will bring spouses along, she says.

Meet the ‘real’ Easter bunny

Rabbit agility demonstrations, dancing dogs, a menagerie of rescue critters, and an Easter egg hunt are some of the fun activities planned for the Surrey Museum’s Easter Fair.

The April 4, all-ages event is a chance for the whole family to learn more about local wildlife and rescue animals.

The annual fair began in 2007 as a way of educating the public on responsible animal care and adoption – a chance to meet the ‘real’ Easter bunny and friends – and grew from there.

Every Easter, adopted rabbits find themselves cast off or neglected as new owners discover rabbits require as much care as other pets.

From 1 to 4 p.m., meet with local animal rescue groups, and get up close and personal with rescue animals, from rabbits to cats and from dogs to birds.

Animal rescue groups include AireCanada Airedale Rescue, T&T Shar-pei Rescue, BC Exotic Bird Society, Surrey BC SPCA Education and Adoption Centre, Chihuahua Club of B.C., Vancouver Rabbit Rescue, and TLC Pet Adoptions.

Activities range from spring crafts to an Easter egg hunt in the exhibit gallery.

Special guests include the Vancouver Rabbit Agility Club will be showing off their athletic bunnies, at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m, on the museum’s plaza (weather permitting), and Alison and George the Dancing Dog, performing at 1:30 p.m.

The Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Avenue. It’s open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Closed Sundays, Mondays and statutory holidays.

Admission is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archives Society.

Q: How can I get multiple offers on my house if I have it for sale?

A: When a property is listed

right on what it is worth or sometimes a little under what it Edith Katronis is worth it will attract so many buyers they will all want to write offers. The information about a listing and its price is spread so quickly to all the buyers and their realtors watching MLS that if a listing is priced right a lot of buyers will look at it.

Then there is an orderly way that all the offers are presented and either the highest offer gets accepted or offers are countered to see who will pay the most. It also is entirely up to the seller which offer they want to take.

Mortgage Coming Up for Renewal?

Q: What program do you recommend

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal, this is a great opportunity to not only get a great interest rate but also to determine what type of mortgage now best suits your current situation.

Start by considering: 1. Do you plan on moving in the near future?

If yes, then an open mortgage or one that’s portable could give you the flexibility you need. Some mortgage lenders have more Feisal Panjwani, AMP flexibility than others.

2. Do you want to pay down your mortgage more quickly? Consider an accelerated payment schedule or a lump sum payment as it could save thousands in interest over the life of the mortgage.

3. Is your monthly cash ow a little tight? Increasing your amortization will lower your payments and free up cash for other needs or consider a refinance to eliminate interest debts.

4. Do you want to consider some long-awaited home renovations? The best time to make changes to your mortgage is usually upon renewal.

At Invis-Feisal & Associates, we can speak to you about any concerns you may have, including interest rate trends, future plans and other financial decisions that may affect your mortgage requirements. Be prepared so that you know what to do as your mortgage renewal approaches.

A: Definitely! Good thinking!

RUNNING

Do you have

a cushioned running shoe Q: Isbetter for preventing injuries?

Traditional running shoes with A: pronation control and elevated cushioned heel change the foot’s dynamics and proprioception in how it naturally strikes the ground.

Research shows that a “protective” shoe increases the impact force running has on the bones and joints.

?

answers Christelle Stoesz

Instead, choose light weight running shoes that allow room for the natural shape of the foot and that allow you to feel contact with the ground. Keep the amount the heel is elevated to a minimum. This will help create more natural running biomechanics, foot strike pattern and stride length. When buying new shoes, wearing them gradually will allow your feet to properly adapt.

Now offering full running assessments. 1 hour appointment for assessment, performance enhancement, technique improvement, treatment and prevention of injuries.

There are theories and facts about how acupuncture Dr. Scarlett Cooper works, from improving the flow of ND energy (‘qi’) in the body, to measured mechanisms including improved blood flow, release of natural painkillers, muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and stimulation of the body’s ability to heal.

This makes acupuncture useful for a wide variety of conditions. Physical, mental, and emotional conditions can be improved or cured with acupuncture and adjunctive naturopathic treatments. Some of these conditions include anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, digestive concerns, arthritis, sports injuries, chronic pain, and stress management.

Always check your owners manual for the appropriate oil to use or consult an automotive specialist.

The viscosity rating on motor oil is broken down into two parts: 1. The number before the W, IE: the 5 in 5W30 is the winter or cold start rating, the lower the number the thinner the oil. 90% of engine wear happens at cold start up as a result of the engine running in a dry state.

2. The second number IE: 30 in 5W30 is the viscosity rating of the oil at 100 degrees Celsius, the higher the number the thicker the oil.

In speaking with other childcare professionals it seems that the vast majority of people who post negative reviews on line are the people who have been asked to leave the centres. An ethical childcare will not reveal the exact circumstances of a dismissal so the post is unable to be defended. The best way to choose your daycare by far is to visit it. Talk to the staff, ask questions, etc. A quality childcare will allow you to observe for a time to see how staff interacts with the children and how the program runs.

Early training builds a foundation with the main focus on learning how to train effectively. Intermediate and advanced belt levels are meant to physically and Karen Bennett mentally challenge the student. A large variety of new skills and techniques are encountered at this stage. Similar to Grade school, this is the time of acquiring much knowledge without the need for specialization.

Skills of organization and discipline are developed to manage the new material.

Black Belt training changes to refining the skills that were learned in the earlier training. This is where students form a unique identity or style as their expertise develops. (e.g. like College or University under-graduates becoming specialized).

Intense focus and concentration are characteristics of this stage.

At the Master Level the martial arts student now truly becomes the teacher. It is their knowledge and ability to pass on their expertise to others that is of greatest importance.

For many first-time homebuyers, saving the 5 per cent downpayment is one of the big obstacles to home ownership, especially if you’re paying rent, paying down student loans, and trying to live a life.

Here are some programs and tips that can give your downpayment a boost – to get you into your home faster: Feisal Panjwani, AMP The federal Home Buyers’ Program (HBP) lets first-time homebuyers withdraw up to $25,000 each (or $50,000 for a couple) tax-free from their RRSPs. You’ll need to pay those funds back, of course, on a repayment plan.

A financial gift from a parent or blood relative can be used as a downpayment. You’ll need to document in writing that the funds are a gift and that you are not required to pay the money back at any time.

A parent or grandparent could also provide a loan with a modest interest rate and reasonable expectations for loan repayment. Or you could look at borrowing the downpayment through a loan or unsecured line of credit.

If your dream home is out of reach, look for a starter home. Use today’s low interest rates to start hammering down your mortgage, then watch for the opportunity to get the home of your dreams – using the equity and credit rating you’ve been building!

Often wisdom teeth break through your gums only partway and cause a flap of gum tissue to grow over them where food Dr. Parveen Atwal gets trapped leading to an infection. They can come in crooked or facing the wrong direction because the jaw isn’t large enough to give them the room they need. This can cause damage to your adjacent teeth. Your wisdom teeth can also get stuck (impacted) in your jaw and not be able to break through your gums at all. Impacted teeth can often form a cyst around them which causes damage to the bone or roots.

Lastly, they are so far back in your mouth or crowded that you have trouble cleaning around them. Most dentists recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth in your late teens, because waiting until you’re older can increase the risk of problems.

eplacing the Pattullo Bridge is an urgent TransLink priority because the 77-year-old span could be knocked out at any time by an earthquake, river erosion or a ship collision.

Pulling it offline before a new bridge opens – eight years away at the earliest – would trigger traffic chaos in the region and force toll-averse drivers to go even further out of their way if they won’t pay to cross the river.

The $980-million replacement of the Pattullo with a new four-lane toll bridge, expandable to six lanes, is by far the biggest road-related project in the mayors’ plan.

But No forces say it shouldn’t be on the ballot at all – that it’s merely bait to lure drivers to vote Yes in the referendum for an otherwise transit-heavy plan.

So will a new Patttullo come even if voters defeat the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund transportation upgrades?

TransLink officials said as recently as October they’d aim to rebuild the Pattullo Bridge even if the referendum fails.

Other observers also say that’s likely. “The Pattullo bridge probably would go ahead anyway,� said Robin Lindsey, a transportation and logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. “The LRT plan in Surrey is less likely, but still far from a dead prospect.�

Tolls alone would cover most of the long-term financing cost of the new bridge.

But an expected shortfall in toll revenue in the early years means there’s a funding gap to be plugged – $90 million over the first 10 years or $130 million over 15 years – that the mayors say would be covered through the sales tax hike.

It’s unclear where that will be found if there’s a No vote. “I’m not saying it won’t be replaced,� Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said. “But I’m not sure where you get that $90 million of new revenue from because the provincial government’s been very clear that any new revenue has to go through a referendum. “Does the province or the federal government come up with that extra subsidy? Potentially. But there is no local money to do it.�

The province has pledged to cost-share a third of the Pattullo construction and rapid transit projects under the plan. The mayors assume that money isn’t certain even under a Yes vote but that it will pay the bridge off faster if it does arrive.

TransLink has delayed major maintenance on the existing bridge as much as possible but a No vote will force that work to proceed – $200 million will be spent on band-aid repairs of a bridge that should soon be torn down. A Yes result means those savings instead help fund the replacement.

While a new Pattullo is to be user-pay, mayors intend to have a road pricing system in place by the time it opens, so it might not be tolled in the same way as the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, but as part of a broader system that Moore says would be more fair.

Surrey-area voters also wonder if they’ll get a $2.1-billion light rail network regardless of the referendum outcome because of Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s election promise to find a Plan B for LRT, if necessary.

Residents are wrong if they think they’ll pay less by voting No, she said. “Plan B does not come free,� Hepner said. “We will be paying for it, make no mistake, one way or another.�

The difference, Hepner said, is Surrey alone may have to pay for LRT, without the costs being spread over the rest of the region, without one-third costsharing from senior governments and without the new sales tax capturing money from tourists and visitors from outside Metro. “It’s equitable funding from right across the region and from those who are visiting our region,�

Hepner said. “A No vote means it will likely come at a very specific cost to Surrey alone.�

Private partners might front the project costs but the city would still have to pay them.

Hepner won’t say how money would be raised for a light rail Plan B. But Surrey’s new mayor and council so far haven’t hesitated to raise local taxes to keep promises – they immediately imposed a $100-a-home “recreation� levy so the city could hire more police officers. – Jeff Nagel, Black Press

Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

General tips •

Your trash is an identity thief ’s treasure! Be careful what you throw out. Shred anything and everything that holds personal information.

Do not leave your purse or wallet out in plain view while at home, work, in a vehicle, or during recreation.

Memorize your passwords and PINs, and do not share WITH ANYONE. Do not carry important personal information documents with you unnecessarily.

Be aware of your surroundings and realize that “shoulder surfers” are actively seeking opportunities.

Don’t give out personal information or credit card numbers over the phone unless you made the call.

It is okay to hang up the phone when you are suspicious about the company or person calling.

If something looks or sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always use common sense.

Don’t pay for prizes. Legitimate lotteries do not require the winner to pay a fee or taxes to collect the winnings.

Remember there are no get-rich-quick schemes – the only people who make money are the fraudsters.

Check your statements often to make sure that the transactions that appear were made by you.

Pay attention to your billing cycles. Follow up with creditors if your bills do not arrive on time.

Remove mail from your mailbox promptly.

Resist pressure to “act now”.

Be wary of unsolicited emails, telephone calls or mail attempting to extract personal or financial information.

•

Avoid fraud and identity theft 1. Never provide any of your personal information to anyone who phones or emails you.

This includes credit card numbers, PIN numbers and Social Insurance Numbers.

No matter how legitimate it may seem, banks and the Canada Revenue Agency do not contact you for your personal information.

2. Never provide cash to anyone who appears at your door. If it is a charity you wish to donate to, mail or deliver a cheque to the proper address for that charity.

3. Shred all papers with personal information on them before you throw them out.

The Surrey RCMP holds regular Shred-a-Thons in the city. Check with your local District Office or online at www.surrey.rcmp.ca.

4. Never loan your debit card or credit card to anyone, even another family member.

5. Keep a list of your credit card numbers, passport number, driver’s licence number, etc. in a safe place in case your wallet gets misplaced or stolen.

6. Do not pay any money to receive a prize you have “won”.

7. Check out potential investments for validity. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

8. Check your credit card statements and bank statements carefully. Report anything that is not normal as soon as possible.

9. Check your credit through Equifax Canada or TransUnion Canada at least once every two years.

10. Change your passwords and PINs regularly.

Report identity theft and fraud to Canadian AntiFraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 (toll free) or visit their website at www.antifraudcentre-centreanti-
