WELCOMING NEW PATIENTS
By Jennifer Lang A long-standing – and much missed – Cloverdale Rodeo tradition is being revived this weekend with a “Rodeo Month” kick off dance, featuring rising country music sensation the Chris Buck Band. Proceeds from the May 2 Kickoff Dance at Shannon Hall on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds will support the newly-founded Cloverdale Rodeo Youth Initiative Foundation. The foundation provides high school scholarships and assists youth seeking to better their community through projects and initiatives. Cloverdale’s Rick Hugh chairs the foundation’s scholarship committee and sits on the foundation’s advisory board. Hugh says he remembers the dance was

traditionally sponsored by the Cloverdale Board of Trade (now known as the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce), and was held on the first weekend of May, leading up to the rodeo and country fair on the May long weekend. “It was an opportunity for folks to get together in anticipation of the upcoming rodeo and fair,” Hugh said. “Often times, the entertainment for the night was provided by local musician Vic Pierce and his sons Shane, Kelly and Jodi.” This Saturday’s dance – hosted by the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair – is presented in the spirit of rekindling some of that excitement, in hopes of starting off the month in celebration leading up to the May 15-19 event, which draws tens of thousands to the fairgrounds.

spraying, set to begin Monday, was delayed by rain, but was expected to start Tuesday and last four days, with the third and final application to begin May 11. The targeted areas include most of Cloverdale, from the Langley border to 144 Street, between Highway 10 and 80 Avenue. The spray – Foray 48B – contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control caterpillars. It kills larvae after they ingest it, but is not toxic to humans, or other mammals, plants, birds, fish, honeybees or other beneficial insects. It’s approved for use on organic farms. While there have been a number of unconfirmed reports on social media of residents reporting symptoms associated with spraying during round one of aerial treatment, Fraser Health isn’t backing up those claims. “Fraser Health is aware of only one incident where an individual came to hospital as a precaution after not feeling well after the aerial spraying,” Tasleem Juma, senior consultant, public affairs, with Fraser Health, told The Reporter. “We understand people have concerns regarding the gypsy moth aerial spraying over Surrey, Cloverdale and Delta,” Juma said, adding Health Canada has approved the product for aerial application over populated areas.
“The active ingredient, Btk, is only effective in a caterpillar’s stomach. It is not harmful in humans, livestock, birds, pets, fish or bees,” Juma said. “It’s important to know that if untreated, the moth could cause significant damage to the area’s forests, orchards, farms, and urban trees,” Juma added, directing the Reporter to a five-page Ministry of Forests FAQ on the gypsy moth spray program. However, on Monday, “as a precautionary measure,” Fraser Health advised residents to avoid contact with the spray and stay indoors, with the windows and doors closed, for at least 30 minutes after the spray has been completed. Residents may wish to wait five hours after spraying in order to “air out any concentration of Btk that may have entered the house through air vents or other openings,” said Dr. Lisa Mu, Medical Health Officer for Fraser Health. The spray leaves a residue of droplets that can be removed with water and a bit of scrubbing, but normal weather will eliminate them in about a week, she said. Also this week, residents received a reminder notice in the mail from the Ministry of Forests that said people with health concerns can contact HealthLink by calling 811 and can also view a health fact sheet at www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/hfile90a.stm. Cloverdale’s location at the crossroads of Highways 10 and
15 add to the ministry’s concern the moth could expand its territory by “hitchhiking” on human transportation, the notice read. “The treatment area is of particular concern do the the boat, rail and heavy automobile traffic in close proximity to agricultural production and the U.S. border.” The Forest Ministry FAQ says the area where moths have been found is too large to effectively treat by ground. “Public safety is paramount,” it states. “Health Canada regulates the use of pesticides. They approved the product being used for aerial application over populated areas. They are the experts and we rely on their expertise.” The ministry also defends its public awareness strategy of advertising in English and southeast-Asian newspapers in the application area, presentations to municipal councils, and an open house on March 3 at the Surrey Museum . The moths pose a threat to fruit-growers, because gypsy moths eat the leaves of fruit trees – particularly apple trees, and blueberries and hazelnuts. The province’s trading partners may set quarantine and trade restrictions on trees and plants. It’s estimated the program will cost $1.3 million. For up-to-date information, call the Gypsy Moth 24-hour info line: 1-866-917-5999 or visit the Ministry of Forests website at www.gov.bc.ca/gypsymoth.

Johnston Heights Secondary schools were awarded scholarships last year. Hugh, who grew up in Cloverdale, remembers another fond tradition – street entertainment and street dance along 176 Street in the lead-up to the Cloverdale Rodeo, usually after the bed races on Thursday night. Bands would often perform on a flat deck
truck, and the whole street would be blocked off. “A popular band over the years was Elmer Tippe (father of entertainer Rick Tippe) and his band Super Country,” he says. The Chris Buck Band was named the B.C. Country Music Association’s 2014 country club act of the year. Fronted by Chris Buck, who got his start as a performer and songwriter at 13, after he lost his “best buddy” to cancer,
eventually forming a cover band. Buck, meanwhile, began writing and playing guitar every day. Eventually, the band became one of the busiest bands in B.C., starting to perform its own compositions. In 2014, the band released its debut album, Buck Wild. Tickets are $20 each and are available at the Rodeo office, 604576-9461. More details are available on the website www.cloverdalerodeo.com.

Renovations pave the way to a full calendar The Cloverdale Agriplex is enjoying a new lease on life, post reno By Jennifer Lang Wrestlers, bikers, anglers and dressage stars have been crowding into the Cloverdale Agriplex, blushing with pride since its recent overhaul. It’s busier than ever at the newly-refurbished venue, enjoying a new lease on life after 30 years. The horse-friendly soil floor and dingy lighting are a thing of the past. The building underwent extensive renovations last fall. Along with up to 1,500 in bleacher seating, a location near the crossroads of Highways 10 and 15 plus plenty of free parking, there’s a cement floor (which immediately required mountains of dirt temporarily trucked back in for its post-makeover re-debut, an arenacross
event) and LED lighting. The improvements have paved the way for hosting a variety of new events, such as a recent Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling event earlier this m month. The large-scale, pro wrestling show is an example of the sort of outing the venue can now offer – patrons can grab a beer, dive into a burger, and settle in on bleacher seating. Looking ahead in 2015, it’s clear the events calendar is filling up for the Agriplex. It’s hosting a trade show next March, for example, an event held in Whistler in the past. “That’s the type of thing we can do, that we couldn’t do in the past,” says Mike MacSorely, general manager of the Cloverdale
Rodeo and Exhibition Association, which oversees day-to-day operation of the fairgrounds and presents the annual rodeo and country fair. “It’s now the largest trade show facility in Surrey,” he says, adding the improvements make the arena more sellable for all types of events. For instance, anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 visitors were expected for the B.C. Rod and Gun Show two weeks ago. The Agriplex was a lifeline for organizers of last weekend’s Classic and Vintage Bike and Motorcycle Swap Meet and Show ‘n Shine, which made the move to Cloverdale from Tsawwassen this year. An estimated 2,000 motorcycle enthusiasts

Seniors need a chance to live a better life – and support B.C.’s Seniors Advocate says more could be done to help seniors live independently
B
.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has issued a report on seniors in residential care which has gained a great deal of attention. The attention is long overdue. Mackenzie points out that there are more seniors in residential care than need to be there. She suggests that many could actually be in assisted living, which is less labour-intensive and less costly, or living in their homes with more assistance from community programs. Not only would this be a better way of living for these individuals, as they would have considerably more independence, it would save the B.C.
government a pot of money. Mackenzie estimates that as many as 15 per cent of the 25,000 people in residential care could be in less-intensive care facilities. This could save the province millions of dollars each year, and should be looked at very closely. Mackenzie, who did a survey of the seniors in residential care and the 29,000 home care clients, also found that far too many seniors are being given drugs to control their behaviour. One-third of those in residential care are being given antipsychotic drugs, even though the number actually needing
Points of view
those drugs is far smaller. Only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.
A survey of seniors in residential care found far too many are being given drugs to control their behaviour. Meanwhile, about twice as many seniors as actually need them are receiving anti-depressants. It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that government officials and those running care facilities
are drugging residents indiscriminately, likely to control behaviour. This is simply not right. Health Minister Terry Lake acknowledges that too many seniors in care are receiving antipsychotic and anti-depressant drugs, and said there is training underway to ensure that staff members know what drugs are appropriate for people living in residential care. Mackenzie has highlighted two very important issues, which will be of benefit to both seniors and taxpayers if there is proper follow-through. Seniors deserve proper health services, but they also must be treated with dignity. They should only be given drugs they really need.

A generous gift of hope to the future
Wall work JENNIFER LANG PHOTO
The head office of the Surrey Association for Community Living at 17687 56 A Ave., built in 1974, is in the midst of major renovations. Most of the building has been demolished – except for three exterior walls – and gutted. The overhaul will include new lectrical and mechanical systems, an elevator, seismic upgrades, skylights and a new roof. The project is expected to be complete by the end of the year, according to Trilogy Homes Ltd., which is carrying out the project. Meantime, the SACL has moved to 5748-176 St., sharing digs with the Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, both former tenants of the SACL. The association offers a range of support programs and services for people with special needs.
School taxes are life-affirming To the editor; In the April 2 edition of the Cloverdale Reporter, S. Harder asks a question that deserves an answer: If a person does not have children, why should they pay school taxes? A simple answer is that it is an affirmation of life. An essential feature of life is that it reproduces itself. For some of us that means providing a few children for the next generation. For all of us it means providing all children of future generations the social infrastructure to thrive. There are people who supply food to our community; there are people who build roads, create shelter and handle our finances. These people were once children who benefited from a publicly-funded education. Unfortunately, we are also bequeathing to the next generation the notion of generosity as a negotiation tool rather than as a virtue. “I will be generous only if I can get something out of it – a lottery ticket, a tax receipt, a chocolate bar.” As tax time approaches, I challenge S. Harder to consider her tax payments as a generous gift of hope to future generations.

Surrey, Delta school boards blast Bill 11 other portions that directly affect B.C. boards of education. For example, the bill would change the School Act to broaden the Minister of Education’s authority over school district matters, allowing him to administer directives if he believes a board has not done its job or if he deems it in the public’s interest to step in. “The board believes it erodes what we do,” said Surrey Trustee Terry Allen, noting the bill would allow the
province to override the right of elected B.C. trustees to make autonomous decisions. The proposed legislation also includes provisions relating to shared services in the education sector, allowing the minister to designate specific service providers to boards, whether they deem them cost-effective or not. If passed, Bill 11 would also amend the school act so that a board’s management of schools and property
focus on
would be “subject to the orders” of the minister. “It’s absolutely diabolical … it’s really problematic,” Allen said. “At the end of the day, if we don’t agree… someone will come in and override our decisions and tell us what to do.” An April 22 letter to Education Minister Peter Fassbender from the Delta Board of Education also stresses that trustees have been democratically elected to “safeguard the resources” of the district
on behalf of constituents. “We must therefore speak against any legislation that would alter this mandate by placing an unelected Special Advisor, who is not accountable to our community, in front of our Trustees’ ability to serve our community,” wrote Laura Dixon, chair of Delta’s board. Surrey trustees were endorsed a motion Thursday evening demanding the province immediately quash the proposed legislation
wellness Natural Approach to Allergies By Christine Cheng, R.Ph.
CHRISTINE CHENG
It’s that time of year again when the sneezes we hear around us are due to seasonal allergies rather than the common cold or flu. Traditional remedies such as antihistamines carried by conventional drugstores may sometimes lose their original efficacy over time or their use should be minimized, as in the case of pregnancy or in patients with certain cardiovascular conditions. For these people, there are natural options that can help with symptoms as well as improve (i.e., minimize) your body’s reaction to different allergens. Since allergy symptoms can be viewed as a hyper-reaction of the immune system to normally innocuous substances, minimizing this reaction is the first step in helping with your symptoms. Homeopathic THYMULINE and POLLENS taken on alternating days of the weeks for 5-10 weeks (ideally beginning prior to the start of the allergy season) can help prime your immune system and “teach” it to be less reactive when it encounters the actual allergen. Many of our patients have reported a decrease in their allergy symptoms after completing a course of this homeopathic program. Probiotics taken on a daily basis can also minimize symptoms of all sorts of allergies, not just hay fever, due
to their immunomodulating effects. Go for one that has multiple bacterial strains with a high colony-forming unit count such as ACIDOPHILUS ULTRA PLUS. Other non-conventional and natural approaches to treating overactive immune responses to inert allergens include using anti-oxidants such as GRAPESEED EXTRACT or QUERCETIN, both of which can help with allergic reactions. Grapeseed extract is an antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory properties. Quercetin can help regulate histamine-producing mast cells, reducing the allergen-driven release of histamine. This combination can be found in a product called NATURE’S DEFENCE by SISU. Alternatively or concurrently, taking higher doses of ESTER-C® can also help reduce allergic symptoms. Aim to take 1000mg on a daily basis. These ingredients have cumulative benefit thus should be taken on a daily basis. For those who may have any concerns about drug interactions, it is safest to use homeopathic products, which have no known interactions. Most remedies can even be used in pregnancy and lactation as well as in children. PASCALLERG® is a non-specific product that can help with all sorts of allergies in addition to hay fever. This homeopathic remedy was recently studied in a clinical setting and over 60% of patients studied became symptom-free
or noticed a significant improvement in their symptoms. Products we have seen work well in our practice include HENRY’S ALLERGY MIX for those whose symptoms include itchy skin and runny nose. If you experience itchiness in the soft palate or in your ears, try ANNA’S HAYFEVER MIX. If nothing else works for you, try our AUGMENTED ALLERGY MIX as this seems to work when nothing else does. We have even had our customers use it successfully in their animals. Minimizing the contact of pollen, mold or other allergen with the mucosal lining in the respiratory tract can be achieved with the use of CICADERMINE. Applying a thin layer to the nose prior to known exposure to an allergen can minimize the reaction you experience. Successful management of your allergy symptoms calls for attacking the problem from more than one level. Your treatment plan should include allergen avoidance, balancing your immunity, desensitizing the body, and treatment of symptoms.
and allow for some “productive dialogue” with boards of education, which had no warning Bill 11 was in the works. The surprise, said Allen, was made worse by the fact it came just months after trustees signed a co-governance agreement with the province. “There’s no co-governance between the Surrey Board of Education and the Ministry of Education,” said Allen. “It’s simply a dictatorship.” Dixon was also disappointed no consultation on Bill 11 took place, as per the co-governance MOU (memorandum of understanding). She told Fassbender redrawing the legislation in consultation with trustees would not only respect the mandates given by voters, but give communities local representation to meet student needs. The B.C. School Trustees Association passed a motion at its AGM last weekend also asking that the sections of Bill 11 that override the authority of local education boards be withdrawn. Fassbender did
not return calls, but emailed a statement to The Leader Thursday afternoon saying the 60 B.C. school districts deliver similar services and there are “realistic opportunities” reduce overhead through shared services. He said the amendments in Bill 11 make it clear school boards will have authority to make agreements with other boards or other public sector groups and that they’ll continue to have “considerable autonomy” over how they achieve savings. “However, to maximize the benefits for the entire sector, we also want to make it clear that all districts need to participate in finding efficiencies and – if and where a clear business case shows it makes sense – the Minister of Education has the ultimate authority to require a board to participate in a specific supply arrangement,” Fassbender said. He added the province will continue to work closely with districts as they develop “workable and realistic strategies” to implement shared services.

By Sheila Reynolds Surrey and Delta school trustees are demanding the Ministry of Education rescind proposed provincial legislation they say will override their right to govern democratically. Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act, was introduced by the Ministry of Education last month. While the proposed law includes changes to teacher professional development that proved controversial when introduced, there are

Branch 6 hosts Dominion darts tournament Opening ceremonies to feature Surrey Firefighters pipe and drum band, laying of wreaths at Cloverdale Cenotaph By Jennifer Lang The Cloverdale Legion is set to welcome players from sea to sea to sea this weekend, when Branch 6 hosts the 2015 Dominion Darts Championships. Dart players from across the nation – every province and territory, including Nunavut and NWT – are flying to B.C. for the May 1-4 event, where they’ll enjoy Cloverdale hospitality, comradeship and the spirit of friendly competition. Some 58 players are taking competing in singles, doubles or mixed team dart events, says Scott MacMillan, tournament chair. There’s a welcome reception Friday night (May 1) at the Legion. Volunteer drivers will be picking up tournament competitors from the airport, and chauffeuring them between their hotels and Branch 6. First thing the next morning are the opening ceremonies at the Cloverdale Cenotaph, where representatives from Cloverdale Legion Branch 6 will be joined representatives of BC Yukon Command, Dominion Command and the local zone. Don’t be surprised by the sound of bagpipes filling the air; the Sur-

Cloverdale welcomes the Royal Canadian Legion’s top dart players.
rey Firefighters Pipe and Drum Band is also taking part in the ceremony, which will feature a rendition of Last Post, two minutes of silence and the laying of wreaths. Mayors and other dignitaries have been invited to attend. The darts doubles playdowns are Saturday morning (May 2), right after the opening ceremonies. The singles competition will get underway on Saturday afternoon starting at 2 p.m., and the mixed team play is slated for 11:30 a.m. Sunday – following any singles games, if necessary. The teams will battle it out for the chance to win one of three
branch improvement grants. The event closes with an awards banquet Sunday night and the visitors depart Monday. Competitors will be staying at three local hotels – the Hampton Inn, Ramada Inn and the Holiday Inn and Suites in Cloverdale, right near the action. “My drivers will be very busy that weekend,” notes MacMillan, who adds the host branch has also been able to line up the use of a 40-foot passenger bus from International Stage Lines – six hours for free. Seven players are from B.C.: Bill Durant, Bob Cool, Rob Cool, Albert Davies, Victor Skinner, Jeffrey Johnson and Ed Butler Sr. The Dominion Darts Championships were launched in 1975 and are open to eligible Legion members. The local organizing committee has been busy, raising $4,828 last month at a silent auction at Rusty’s Pub in Cloverdale. When not hosting national tournaments, the branch has 12 dart boards, making the
venue a draw to non-Legion dart players. Branch 6 hosts a popular inhouse darts league every Tuesday and two weekends ago hosted 180 players taking part in the Western Fraser Valley League darts tournament. “They love holding it there because the Cloverdale Legion’s got a lot of dart boards, and it’s a nice, relaxing place for them,” MacMil-

Root causes of shootings traced to drug use and drug trafficking, crowd told By Kevin Diakiw More than 700 people packed into a Surrey high school for a forum on crime last week, an event scheduled as Surrey and North Delta grapple with 22 shootings in six weeks. The recent shooting on Sunday morning killed Arun Bains, the 22-year-old nephew of Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains. Prior to the start of the meeting, many people said they were looking for answers. Naida Robinson was at the April 21 forum, held in the gymnasium of Tamanawis Secondary School at 66 Avenue and 126 Street, and she said she wants to see dedicated RCMP officers assigned to Newton. That way, crime files will remain consistent with the same officers. Darlene Bowyer said she wants some assurance there will be a meeting of all levels of government, something she’s been requesting for some time. Neither of those issues were brought up by speakers at the meeting. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said the recent spate of gun violence is keeping him up at night. “Are we doing enough?” he
said he’ll ask himself at night, adding the shootings are a priority for the Surrey RCMP. “Then I think about it a bit more and say, ‘that’s not enough’.” He said the Mounties need to better engage the community and when that happens, real progress will occur. Fordy also said the community should be concerned – “but they should not be fearful.” “The root causes of these shootings are drug use and drug trafficking,” Fordy told the largely South Asian crowd. Mayor Linda Hepner said she’s devastated by the recent series of shootings. “It pains me that a life has been lost around this senseless violence,” Hepner told the crowd. “It has to stop.” Thirty-four new RCMP officers have arrived in Surrey, she said, and 100 more are on order for this year. Speakers had varying opinions about how to make things better. One woman said many people who come to Canada haven’t had a positive experience with police in their home country. “That is a huge fear for them

By Jennifer Lang Escape From Happiness, a funny, black, slice-of-life comedy by George F. Walker, is the Langley Players’ spring production, on stage to the middle of next month. Set in the kitchen of a rundown house in a not-so-classy part of a large city, Escape From Happiness tells the story of a dysfunctional family, the Quinns. The house is home to Nora, an oddball, middle-aged woman; her three (neurotic) daugh-

ters, and an older man who may or may not be the girls’ father. They’re thrown into crisis, thanks to two criminals of questionable intelligence and two police officers who approach policing from different perspectives. Director Helen Embury was drawn to the play because of the endearing characters, realistically rendered by Walker. “As they struggle against the world out there, they are not always successful,” Em-
bury says. “And yet as we empathize with their predicaments, we can’t help but laugh at their off-the-wall logic.” It’s the first time Langley Players have produced a George F. Walker play, and Embury says audiences are in for a drama with many twists and turns. Walker is one of Canada’s best-known and celebrated playwrights, earning two GovernorGeneral’s performing arts awards for drama (‘Criminals in Love,’ and ‘Nothing Sacred’)

Dive-Bombing Crows
Lorie Chortyk General Manager, Community Relations, BC SPCA
for the Cloverdale pet and the people who love them
This time of year, calls begin to come in to BC SPCA shelters from concerned residents who are being dive-bombed by crows whenever they leave the house. Rest assured, the crows are not intending to attack; rather, they are attempting to ward off what they see as a potential predator – you!
Should you discover crows nesting close to your home, there are some simple steps you can take to help ease the stress on both sides. Giving the birds a wide berth as you come and go from your home or using a different entrance and exit for a few weeks will give the crow family more space. You should see a significant decrease in divebombing behaviour. Keeping pets away from the area will also help keep the young crows safe during the fledging period.
Crows are very protective parents
Young crows hop out of the nest before they are able to fly. They spend several days on the ground as their final flight feathers grow in and flight muscles develop. Their ever-watchful parents continue to care for them during this time, responding to their
For nests located in higher traffic areas that are difficult to avoid, carry an umbrella when passing near the crows. The temporary visual barrier will discourage them from becoming agitated.

Each summer, dive-bombing crows herald the arrival of baby season. Crows are very protective parents and will persistently swoop down on people who get too close to their vulnerable babies. Fortunately, this defensive behaviour only lasts until the young crows are agile enough to fly and avoid danger on their own – usually a few weeks.

Queen Elizabeth II marked her 89th birthday last week. What better way to celebrate than with a stop at the Surrey Museum, hosting A Queen and Her Country? On tour from the Canadian Museum of History, it’s on display to May 16, and looks at her Majesty’s first 60 years as Canada’s head of state. Born on April 21, 1926, her reign began with the death of King George VI on Feb. 6, 1952. Her coronation took place on June 2, 1953. Elizabeth II’s first visit to Canada was in October 1954. She opened parliament and delivered the speech
from the throne, the first of 23 visits here. She was the first monarch to visit the arctic, and made an official visit to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in 2002. That year, Her Magesty dropped the puck at a Vancouver Canucks hockey game, a moment caputured by Canadian Press photographer Chuck Stoody. Reporter reader Mike Czepak was at the game. “Bring her back for game 5 and perhaps maybe even dress her and put on the Blue Line or up front with the Sedins,” he wrote on our Facebook page. Alas, she stayed home and the Canucks are out of the playoffs.

Wednesday, April April 29, 29, 2015 2015 14 The Cloverdale Reporter Wednesday,
Burnaby mayor foresees a ‘Yes’ victory Superior organization may trump majority opinion in transit referendum, says Derrick Corrigan By Jeff Nagel Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan thinks the broad coalition behind the Yes side will eke out a narrow win in the transit tax referendum despite internal polls that continue to show the No side ahead with most Metro Vancouver voters. Corrigan is not a Yes supporter – he voted against the $7.5-billion 10-year plan last June, saying it was too ambitious and doomed to defeat, and voted against going to referendum on the 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund it in December. Speaking Tuesday after a meeting of the Metro mayors’ council, Corrigan said he still thinks most voters are against the tax hike but the Yes side is “very powerful” and doing a much better job at persuading supporters to mail in their ballots. “The Yes side’s got a lot of muscle and they’re exerting it over this period of time,” Corrigan said, citing the 145-group coalition’s long lists of supporters and contacts. “I think that while the polls are saying No, the Yes side has the troops on the ground to be able to get their vote out. I think it’s going to be a narrow Yes victory on a very low turnout.” Corrigan isn’t wavering in his opposition, particularly to the decision of most mayors
to campaign for a Yes win in the referendum, which the province set as a condition for any new transit tax. Even if the referendum passes and the new tax goes ahead, he predicts there will be lasting damage from a fractured region, especially if Yes votes from Vancouver and a
‘We have no intent of quitting or scaling back our efforts before May 29.’ - Gavin McGarrigle, BTTC handful of other cities overwhelm No sentiment in the rest of the region. “The referendum is a bad public policy tool,” Corrigan said. “It’s been divisive across the Lower Mainland and it’s been harmful to TransLink. I think we should have stood our ground on the referendum from the very beginning.” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the outlook is worse for the Yes side in White Rock/South Surrey, where he said new internal polling indicates a 76 per cent No vote. Only Delta has fewer declared Yes voters, he said, while there was more than 50 per
cent support in Vancouver. “It’s concerning and it’s unfortunate,” Baldwin said. “It’s emotion versus logic. When riders are passed up instead of saying ‘We need more transit’ they say ‘I’m mad at transit because they didn’t provide the bus here now so I’m going to vote against it.’” The Yes campaign has featured slick video ads, transit system signage and numerous community meetings and other events, including 14 telephone town halls that dialed in voters via robocall. One of the latest techniques are dubbed “lunch and learn” sessions where Yes campaigners go to a major employer like Hootsuite or VanCity Savings to answer questions from employees about the transportation plan. The strategy of Yes forces is to get every possible Yes vote mailed in to Elections BC before the May 29 deadline and potentially keep on campaigning for transit upgrades if the Congestion Improvement Tax is defeated. Better Transit and Transportation Coalition co-chair Gavin McGarrigle, a Unifor union executive, called it the most diverse coalition ever assembled in B.C. on an issue. “We have no intent of quitting or scaling back our efforts before May 29,” he said. He said the organizations behind the
coalition – which include business, labour and environmental groups – are prepared to fight together for transit and transportation upgrades in future elections if necessary. “The coalition has a good chance of lasting beyond this vote,” McGarrigle said. “We don’t agree on everything but we agree there is a broad need for transit and transportation in this region.” He said voters who oppose the tax are often swayed when campaigners have a chance to talk to them about the issues. The mayors’ council also heard concerns from a UBC student leader that the online voter registration system at Elections BC – preferred by students over a phone-in option – was heavily backlogged, raising the possibility that some university students wouldn’t get ballots at their campus residences before vacating at the end of this month. Elections BC spokesman Don Main said the backlog had resulted in delays of up to four extra days processing time but was cleared up as of today. “The last 313 were processed this morning, both by phone and online, and that will be in the mail in the next couple of days,” he said.
