Seniors issues will be front and centre at the all candidate meeting for Langley-Aldergrove on October 5 in Aldergrove.

Planning a future that will see seniors able to age in place, maintain their inde-pendence, participating and contribut-ing in our community, is the focus of the meetings.

A wide range of issues will be debated - pension and income security to ensure that seniors are not dropping below the

poverty line, increased housing options for aging in place, better transportation and improved medical supports such as home care, and assistance with extend health benefits – vision and hearing, den-tal, cost of medical supplies and mobility aids.

This meeting will help to inform vot-ers on seniors’ issues and everyone is wel-come.

The meeting for the Langley-Aldergrove riding will be held Monday,

Oct. 5, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Aldergrove Legion, 26607 Fraser Highway.

Langley-Aldergrove is a new riding. For information about the riding a voter resides in, how to register and information on advanced polls, visit www.elections.ca.

Seniors issues focus of local candidates

Aldergrove Star

When it comes to managing growth and developing neighbourhoods, people have many different viewpoints.

The Township of Langley wants to hear them all - and wants to know the various ways residents would like to have their say regarding planning and development in their com-munities.

A series of open houses will be held this fall by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement. Residents are encouraged to come by any time during the open houses to share their ideas and opinions on how they would like to bet-ter engage with the Township regarding planning and devel-opment projects and processes.

These three drop-in, interactive events will be held:· Tuesday, Oct. 20, 5 – 9 p.m. in the Banquet Room of the

Langley Events Centre in Willoughby, 7888 – 200 St.· Thursday, Oct. 22, 5 – 9 p.m. in the Main Hall of the

Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, 26770 - 29 Ave.· Saturday, Oct. 24, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. in the ABC Room

of the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood, 20699 - 42 Ave.

The open houses will assist the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement, appointed by Mayor Jack Froese to explore ways to better connect with the public on planning and development issues. The committee’s goal is to make recommendations to council for improvements to existing policies and practices, to ensure meaningful two-way dialogue occurs consistently between citizens, stakeholders, and government when it comes to development.

Members of the public can drop in any time during the open houses to offer their thoughts on how they would like to better engage with the Township on these issues, and to learn what other municipalities are doing to connect with their resi-dents.

“Population growth and development in the Township are important topics that affect all of us, and the community deserves a voice in the decisions being made,” said Froese.

The public can also connect with members of the stand-ing committee by email at engage@tol.ca or online at tol.ca/engagetol. The engageTOL webpage provides information on the committee, its activities and findings, and gives residents another opportunity to provide input. Residents are encour-aged to visit the engageTOL webpage to submit comments and sign up to receive email alerts on future updates and noti-fications.

Information collected through the open houses, website, emails, research, and other activities conducted by the com-mittee will be analyzed by Modus, a consulting firm special-izing in planning, design, and community engagement. The data will be used to form a new development engagement policy, guidelines, and suggested tools for Township Council’s consideration in late fall.

Open houses seek input on development

Aldergrove Star n e w s

Aldergrove Star

Margot Sangster — NDPAfter nearly a decade of Stephen

Harper, middle class families are working harder than ever, yet falling further behind.

I hear this almost every day out on the doorsteps talking to people in our community.

People in Langley and A l d e r g rov e tell me again and again how hard it is for their family just to make ends meet. They’re w o r r i e d about their c h i l d r e n ’s prospects.

Small businesses create eight out every 10 new jobs in Canada and we need a plan to support small business owners in Langley and Aldergrove.

Tom Mulcair and the NDP have committed to reducing the tax rate on small businesses from 11 per cent to nine percent, allowing them to hire new people, buy new equipment, and spend more money in our local economy. Our community’s health depends on having vibrant local busi-nesses create jobs and help people work close to home and spend more time with their families.

Access to quality, affordable child-care is a critical issue in Langley-Aldergrove and right across the country. Tom Mulcair and the NDP are committed to creating one mil-lion quality childcare spaces at $15 per day, with 110,000 of those spaces here in British Columbia.

Far too many parents, and they are overwhelmingly women, discover that the cost of childcare eats up most or all of the income they could earn returning to work.

Some are forced to abandon their careers altogether.

This is bad for families, and bad for businesses that have invested in their employees’ training and expe-rience. Giving families in Langley-Aldergrove a quality, affordable child-care option is good for our economy, and good for parents, who can pro-vide a higher standard of living for their children.

Canadian seniors, people who have worked throughout their lives to

build this country, deserve to live in dignity and be treated with respect by their government.

I have spoken with many seniors and their families in Langley-Aldergrove, and they are deeply concerned that they won’t be able to access proper home care or find appropriate long-term care. Tom Mulcair and the NDP are commit-ted to working with the provinces and territories to invest in home care, build 5,000 more nursing home beds, and deliver stable, long-term funding for seniors’ care.

New Democrats will return the retirement age to 65 from 67, and provide $400 million in additional funding for the guaranteed income supplement.

These were key priorities for Jack Layton, and a Tom Mulcair govern-ment will continue that work and ensure that no Canadian senior has to live in poverty.

Leon Jensen — Liberal PartyI’ve found that the many conver-

sations that I have had on doorsteps throughout the riding have touched on a wide variety of issues.

First, people are primarily con-cerned with the economy and the state of their own personal finances.

This fits in with what we’ve been s e e i n g nationally, as the middle class is feel-ing the strain of higher costs for their hous-ing, their food and their trans-p o r t a t i o n needs.

W h i l e low oil prices have somewhat less-ened the impact this summer, there is considerable worry about what will happen if oil prices start to return to their previous levels.

Of course it’s not just the price of transportation that has increased. There are a host of costs that are associated with living in the Lower Mainland and raising a family.

That is why the Liberal Party has focused on bringing fairness back to the middle class, fairness that equates to providing a substantial Universal Child Care Benefit to families with

children that is pro-rated to family income.

Fairness that is based on bringing in a new tax bracket of 33 per cent for those making more than $200,000 and lessening the tax burdens to Canadians earning between $44,701 and $89,400 from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent. These measures only help if you have a steady job that brings in a sufficient income. That’s why our plan calls for immediate investment in infrastructure and green technol-ogy, both areas that have a proven record for sustainable job creation.

I have also been frequently asked about the environment and what our plans are to address the ongoing concerns with climate change. These issues go hand in hand and need to be addressed so that they are not sim-ply left for our children and grand-children to resolve.

We need to ensure that all devel-opment is environmentally sustain-able. We need to ensure that the National Energy Board is robust enough to determine the suitabil-ity of projects brought forward for its review.

We need to ensure that our federal government sits as a partner with its provincial counterparts in determin-ing the best way to address environ-mental concerns at a national level. We will participate at the Paris cli-mate conference and work with our international partners in a co-oper-ative manner in order to reduce our emissions not only in Canada, but also in North America and the world.

We can be world leaders in fac-ing environmental challenges and Langley can be a leader in Canada in advancing green technology industry.

You can see from my background that I have extensive experience with the Canadian Armed Forces as both a part-time and a full-time reservist. I have served with NATO on exercises in Germany in the 1970s while facing the Warsaw Pact and have served in the former Yugoslavia as a member of the United Nations Peacekeeping operation.

Veterans are not just from the generation that served in the Second World War and Korea. They may well be a young reservist that has served in Afghanistan and lives on the same street as you, or the slightly older one that has served in Bosnia, Croatia, Haiti or the Congo. They pledged their service for the nation in an

unlimited capacity and for that ser-vice, Canada needs to recognize that there is an obligation to look after them and their families.

First responders are also included in our Liberal pledge to look after those that have been scarred by trau-matic incidents. They are part of that invaluable team that rush towards danger while others rush away. I am committed to ensuring that we, as a nation, look after them as they have looked after us.

Hopefully, we can generate the conversations necessary to make our democracy thrive and increase the voter turnout on Oct. 19.

Mark Warawa — Conservative PartyI believe the priority issues facing

Langley and Canada are the econo-my, safety and security, and the envi-ronment.

Since I was elected in 2004 and was given the honour to represent “Beautiful Langley” in Canada’s Parliament, I have worked hard to support jobs and economic growth.

I support our world-leading Conservative Economic Action Plan which includes low taxes, free trade, support for skills-training, immigra-tion reforms, and invest-ments in i n f r a s t r u c -ture and innovation. The global economic cli-mate remains fragile and u n c e r t a i n ; however our E c o n o m i c Action Plan is working and includes:

Lowering taxes on families and Canadian businesses including the largest tax cut for small- and medi-um-sized businesses in nearly 30 years;

Concluding free trade agreements with 39 countries, including the European Union and South Korea, to significantly increase export oppor-tunities for Canadian businesses and create jobs for Canadians;

Providing support to Canadians completing apprenticeships, and establishing the Canada Job Grant to ensure skills-training leads to future employment;

Reforming Canada’s immigration

system to ensure that it complements the country’s economic needs;

Launching the longest and largest investment plan for public infrastruc-ture in Canada’s history;

Helping firms invest in new tech-nologies and research and develop-ment through targeted tax relief and funding partnerships with Canada’s universities and colleges.

Regarding safety and security, our Conservative government is address-ing the ongoing instability in the Middle East and the threat of global terrorism from the barbaric so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria: ISIS. Canada should, along with the other G-7 members, continue to partici-pate in the international coalition against ISIS, to degrade its capabili-ties to harm Canadians and others. We stand on guard for Canada and honour our shared G-7 commitment to providing humanitarian support in conflict-affected areas.

Over the last 11 years, I have presented legislation that has dealt with justice issues constituents have brought to me…one was the “Safe at Home Bill”.

The courts had sentenced a Langley sex offender to serve his sen-tence at home, right across the street from his young victim. The mom of the victim asked me, “Why should we have to move from our home, we are the victims?” I agreed and had the Criminal Code of Canada amended so that the courts must ensure a safe distance between the victim and offender.

I have been working on anoth-er bill for a local family and all Canadians who have lost a loved ones to a drunk driver. 22year old Kassandra Kaulius was killed by a drunk driver. I want to continue working on Kassandra’s Law to amend Impaired Driving Causing Death legislation. The bill would require mandatory sentencing and change the definition from impaired driving causing death to Vehicular Homicide.

I am an advocate for protect-ing our environment and believe in sustainable development. based on world-leading science. I am pleased to participate with partners for the annual Langley Environmental Hero awards to acknowledge the incredible environmental work occurring in our community.

Brad HazeltonArmy cadet takes on nine-day adventure

Who’s who

A local 16-year-old was one of just 16 B.C. army cadets chosen to participate in the 2015 Regional Cadet Expedition.

Cadet Brad Hazelton ended his sum-mer with a splash as one of just 16 B.C. army cadets chosen to participate in the 2015 Regional Cadet Expedition.

Brad Hazelton wound up his nine-day adventure on Monday, Aug. 31.

The expedition included two days of biking on Vancouver Island and four days of lake and ocean kayaking in the Gulf Islands.

The cadets were put in challenging situations and over the nine days they learned to work together as a cohesive team.

Each cadet also took a turn as team leader.

Cadets honed their skills in planning a route, map reading, navigation, bike-maintenance, using a GPS, equipment

and clothing selection, low-impact camping, and promoting environmental stewardship.

Hazelton called the experience “a crash course in kayaking.”

“The cadet program has been a great experience and a great challenge” Hazel-ton said.

The R.E. Mountain Secondary student has been with 1922 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps for five years.

Every one of the five people in his fam-ily has been part of the cadet program at some point.

There are more than 2,000 army ca-dets in B.C. All participate in expedi-tions appropriate to their training level and high-performing cadets are chosen to participate in regional, national and international expeditions. The next in-ternational expedition will take place in Chile in the spring of 2016.

JENNIFER SIMON PHOTOShortreed elementary school students gave a warm welcome to the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley rid-ers in memory of former student, the late Christopher Sperger, on Tuesday morning in the gym.

Aldergrove Star

The Canadian Cancer Society’s 2015 Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley got off to an emotional start Thursday morning at Abbotsford senior secondary school.

With hundreds of students and law enforcement officers looking on, five-year-old Greta Loewen dis-tributed hand-made ribbons to the riders, as they prepared to embark on their 850-kilometre nine-day journey to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes. The riders will journey from Abbotsford to Boston Bar to Tsawwassen, stop-ping at businesses and dozens of schools along the way.

Loewen was joined by other childhood cancer survivors. but the absence of one young man long-affiliated with the Tour de Valley

was also felt deeply.Earlier this year, Brandon

Radnai, a childhood cancer survi-vor from Mission who was closely involved with the Tour de Valley, died in an accident. His parents were at this year’s kickoff and were given an emotional standing ova-tion.

“Today’s a beautiful day, but it’s also a difficult day because we’ve lost one of our own,” said Canadian Cancer Society regional direc-tor Allan Mugford. He saluted the students for their own fundraising efforts.

“Without your input and your financial input, nothing will change. Thank you,” he said.

The event had plenty of levity, however, with Abby senior second-ary principal Adam Moore getting his head shaved to the delight of

his students. Moore had promised to shave his head if students raised $1,000. That goal was demolished, with $4,300 eventually being raised. Along with Moore, Sandy Hill elementary student Kayden Shaver also had his head shaved. He had raised $350 on his own for can-cer research.

Riders come from a range of law-enforcement organizations, including local police departments, corrections facilities, and the Canadian Border Services Agency, among others. They have been training – and raising money – for months and hope to bring in more than $465,000 in donations this year. Since 1994, Cops for Cancer events and rides have raised more than $50 million.

7”Canada is one of the best coun-

tries in the world. We live in the new federal riding of Langley-Aldergrove, one of the fastest growing ridings in Canada. I am happy to have played a part in get-ting Langley an improved border crossing for Aldergrove, numer-ous new bridges and roads, a new interchange for 216 Street and an improved Bedford Channel in Fort Langley. There is many important things yet for me to do…that is why I am running again. I am honoured to have represented everyone in Langley since 2004, and hope I will be given the privilege of continuing to work hard for everyone in the new riding of Langley-Aldergrove.

Simmi Dhillon — Green PartyCanadians have lost faith in

their government. Somewhere, s o m e h o w, the voices of our commu-nities have been muted at a federal level.

Be it vis-ible in lack of adequate, meaningful c o n v e r s a -tions with regard to issues that matter (eg. the proposed twinning of the KM pipeline, senior

care, veteran care, universal child-care, etc.) or lack of proper repre-sentation of a constituency. Entire communities such as the Kwantlen First Nations and our homeless population are ignored.

Peaceful rallies see no presence of our MP. How can such hot-button topics in a community not illicit a response from its MP?

Because MPs have lost touch with their constituents and instead bow to pressure from special inter-est groups and from their own parties. They speak and move as a group.

How does that represent each unique constituency they repre-sent?

The Green Party of Canada is the only party that allows its MPs to speak the mind of their constitu-ents and not that of its party.

The mandate of a Green Party MP is to speak for her constituency as a whole and to ensure that resi-dents’ collective voice is heard in Ottawa.

An MP works for all equally and not only for those who vote for her.

On Oct. 20, we are all one party. That is when the work begins. We need to work together to repeal Bills such as C-51, which will fur-ther mute our voices. Bill C-51 was introduced to the country as a bill to fight security threats.

Unfortunately, it contained por-tions that have ramifications on our rights of freedom of speech and

peaceful gathering. We are current-ly a policed state. The Green Party is the only party prepared to work towards a full repeal of this ignorant bill.

We will, of course, look into real threats to our nation and its securi-ty and make recommendations for changes that are not packaged into an ominous bill.

We will be honest and forth-coming with information so that Canadians can make decisions not having been forced to do so out of fear.

We will make moves to have our voices respected again on an international level in matters per-taining to the environment, our treatment of First Nations peoples, quality of life and humanitarianism. We live in the birthplace of British Columbia — let’s lead by example and do better because we know bet-ter.

It is our job to protect this natu-ral wonder and ensure our water-ways, food sources and farmlands are safe.

As a community we will work together to ensure Kinder Morgan does not further jeopardize our well being by way of potential harm to our food and water sources.

Buying local and supporting local small and medium businesses is the best way to develop an econo-my. On Oct. 19, please vote for me so that together we can protect our home.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View

Staggered fee structure may be way to go for Aldergrove aquatic centre

Editor: I am incredibly pleased that

we are able to build a brand new facility of this calibre in the Township and that as a new councillor, I am able to keep my commitment to the residents of Aldergrove. After decades of talk, it is great to finally have some action.

Township residents pay for these facilities and their upkeep through their property and business taxes.

The Township’s current financial policy keeps fees for anyone using recreational ame-nities at a moderate level and in many cases provides a subsidy for our residents that require it.

These financial policies have been implemented to benefit residents and to encourage a healthy community.

Non-residents who utilize Township facilities, don’t pay

the taxes, yet still enjoy the same rates as our residents.

So, at the next Council meeting, on Sept. 14, I will be proposing that Township staff investigate the possibility of implementing a staggered fee structure in the Aldergrove Aquatic Facility for non-residents.

As a business owner, I under-stand a balance must be struck to maintain the volume of use vs. a price-point threshold.

We need users in the facil-ity to pay for it but there is a line there, and hopefully as staff look at models and best practices from other regions, a formula will emerge.

For example, based on cur-rent pricing, a family of four will be able to use the new Aquatic facility for about $11 a day. A non-resident family of four can perhaps pay $15 a day.

That is still an incredibly rea-sonable fee for the “experience” that a visiting family will have in our new facility. Perhaps these additional revenues can even be earmarked to pay for a permanent pool cover or provide additional low-income subsidies for more Township families and seniors.

With increased fiscal de-mands for new and expanded services, coupled with growing demands from non-residents, I think this policy consideration is necessary to maintain the existing high quality level of service for Township residents.

Staggered fee structures like this work in many municipali-ties across the country, we need to be asking these questions and looking at alternatives, always.

Angie Quaale, Councilor, Township of Langley

Aldergrove shortchanged – againEditor: Langley City and Langley

Township long ago split from one another. I believe the cause was a perceived unfairness with the use of tax dollars be-ing spent mainly in one area instead of meeting the needs of all.

It seems to me that a similar situation is happening here in Aldergrove.

People are upset with the choice of pool being forced

upon us.We wanted a modern indoor

pool, we get an unrealistic “ band aid” — an outdoor pool with limited appeal.

We wanted funding like the rest of Langley gets. We have to sell property or raise money to get anything. Did the Langley Events Centre need to sell environmental lands to raise money for its construction?

Did Langley have to settle for a sub-par facility? They

were given a third artificial turf field before we got ours, even though we jumped through hoops and raised money on our own.

It’s obvious we don’t register on Langley’s radar. Perhaps Langley won’t appear on ours.

Most of us would have been happy to have our beloved Al-dergrove Lake repaired, instead we’ll have someone else’s idea of what we need put in place.

A ‘mild rebuttal’ on MP’s contribution

Editor: While I support Mr. Kydd’s right to his opinions (‘Giving politi-

cal credit where it’s deserved’ The Star, Sept. 3), I feel I have to offer a mild rebuttal.

About six years ago I sent letters to Mr. Warawa and Mr. Cole-man regarding some federal infrastructure funding allocated for the expansion of the Aldergrove border crossing. My letters asked the question where did the money get spent as it was not for its intended purpose.

Mr. Warawa responded immediately with a phone call and a fol-low up email, the gist of which indicated he was in contact with the appropriate federal officials for an answer.

Nothing from Mr. Coleman, in spite of a follow up letter and two visits to his office in Aldergrove.

Recently Mr. Warawa has been vocal regarding the upgrades at Aldergrove, Mr. Coleman, silent.

Now it may be a bit of a stretch of Mr. Warawa to claim responsi-bility for the expansion taking into consideration the plans for the current design used to be on the Border Service web page dated 1991, but I am sure he was or is the only local politician that took the time to become involved, ergo his justification for his state-ments?

Terry Brenan, Aldergrove

An attempt at satire? Editor: I am assuming that Larry Kydd’s letter (‘Giving political credit

where it’s deserved’ The Star, Sept. 3) is a tongue-in-cheek attempt at satirical humour.

I quote: “Mark’s policies have put us $113 billion further in the hole,” etc. etc.

This makes me wonder if Mr. Kydd is, in fact, a Harper supporter. Is he protecting the prime minister by making Mark Warawa the

fall guy for all the political rhetoric being slung at the Conservative Party?

Pamela G. Omelaniec, Langley

Convincing voters that they are powerless works

Editor: It’s entirely possible that the popularity of conspiracy ‘theories’

is the result of an actual conspiracy, because the rich and powerful want wild conspiracy ‘theories’ to flourish. The more paranoid, poorly informed, and delusional people there are who sincerely believe that the government, any government, could pull off mas-sive, complicated, and dastardly conspiracies, the more control the elite have over the general populace. It doesn’t matter if there isn’t any real evidence to support the surfeit of harebrained ideas floating around online; a few committed believers is all it takes to spread half truths, misinformation, and seductively simple expla-nations all over the world thanks to the internet.

If I were a billionaire, I would want as docile an electorate as possible. Democracy can be a precarious place for the rich and powerful, because the right legislation, when enacted by deter-mined, representative politicians with the backing of the voting public, can make life much more difficult for the wealthy indeed. Political contributions can become more transparent, worker’s rights can be strengthened, and taxes for the very well-to-do can go up. I would happily pay researchers to find every single hole in a potentially useful historical narrative of my choosing. Get them to find all unanswered questions and every eyebrow raising coin-cidence, whatever the topic may be, in order to convince people that the ‘official story’ on whatever it is we’re talking about is a big lie. It doesn’t take much to convince people that the supposedly monolithic government is not telling the whole truth. This makes the government, with guidance from some mysterious ‘real power working behind the scenes,’ seem omnipotent and unassailable.

The reason is simple. If people actually believe crazy conspiracy ‘theories,’ why would they bother voting? Convince people that they are powerless, and you can render them truly powerless.

Aldergrove Star

The annual Colton Nelson Memorial PeeWee Tournament returns all day, Friday, Oct. 23, 2015 to Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015 at Aldergrove Arena.

Twelve-year-old Coleton Nelson was killed on Feb. 18, 2011, when the car he was rid-ing in was struck by a truck at an Aldergrove intersection. The driver, Coleton’s 18-year-old cousin, and one of his friends, also 12, were both injured in the crash.

Coleton Wayne Reid Nelson wasn’t the fastest kid on the ice, but the tall, lanky 12-year-old was a very, very smart hockey player with a good wrist shot who was especially talented at faking out his opponents.

A former coach says Coleton was usually good for two to three goals a game.

“The kid could score,” Tim Stephenson says.

Coleton played for three Aldergrove teams, the peewee Aldergrove Chiefs, the bantam Aldergrove Bruins and he was an affiliate player who filled in on the peewee Bruins rep team.

His father Wayne loved to watch his boy play, attending every game and practice he could.

His mother Brenda says hockey was the most important thing in Coleton’s life.

“It was his second family,” she says.

Coleton was also an expert-level BMX bike racer who mastered snowboarding in one lesson.

“He was good at everything,” his mother says.

His nickname, “Hockey10kid” came from the number on his jersey. He had many oth-ers.

His mother called him “Bunny love” and “mujj-jaa” a pet name he earned for his ability to make squished-up faces when he was little.

He was the young-est of three kids and the only boy. His older sisters Chrystie, 21, and Alecsa,

18, adored their younger brother. Coleton was their buddy, one they loved “to the moon and back.”

On the ice, he was a confident, cheerful player.

Off the ice, he could be a little shy sometimes, but he was com-ing out of it. He was about a head taller than most kids his age, and prob-ably would have topped out at 6’4”.

He was more comfort-able outdoors playing sports than he was study-ing in school.

The Grade 7 stu-dent at North Otter Elementary loathed band practice, in part because he was supposed to wear a dress shirt and pants, something he firmly, but politely, declined to do. Dressing formally was a pet peeve of his.

He even refused to don a required dress shirt and tie when he played for the rep team, reason-ing, correctly, that they would be unlikely to send him home for ignoring the off-ice dress code.

A “Coleton Nelson Memorial Tournament” was established by the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association

board of directors. So was a scholarship.

Christmas was Coleton’s favourite time of year, which is why the family organized “Coleton Clause,” a fun-draiser to provide gifts for children in need. The “Coleton Clause” fundraiser assists families who use the Abbotsford Community Services Christmas Bureau.

The Nelson family also contributed to the new North Otter elemen-tary school playground, and were pleased to see a park bench installed there in his memory by the school’s Parents Advisory Council.

public open housesInput Sought on Better Engagement for Planning and DevelopmentWhen it comes to managing growth and developing neighbourhoods, people have many different viewpoints.

A series of open houses will be held this fall by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement. Residents are encouraged to come by any time during the open houses to share their ideas and opinions on how they would like to better engage with the Township regarding planning and development projects and processes.

These three drop-in, interactive events will be held:

Date: Tuesday, October 20Time: 5 - 9pmPlace: Langley Events Centre, Banquet RoomLocation: 7888 - 200 Street

Date: Saturday, October 24Time: 11am - 4pmPlace: George Preston Recreation Centre, ABC RoomLocation: 20699 - 42 Avenue

Input collected will help form a new engagement policy, guidelines, and suggested tools for development processes that will be presented to Township Council for consideration in late fall.

The Aldergrove Kodiaks took a big 6-1 win over the Langley Knights Monday at George Preston Arena.

The Kodiaks led from the face-off, outshooting the Knights 45-23 and scoring on one of three power plays.

Scorers for Aldergrove were Quinncy Leroux (2), Matt Oliver (2), Dryden Wust and Joshua Pollock. Oliver and Leroux were the night’s first and second stars, respec-tively. Knight Jackson Wanick scored the night’s final goal midway through the third period.

The win gives the Kodiaks seven points after seven games (3-3-0-1). The Kodiaks are currently third in the Harold Brittain conference, behind the Mission Outlaws (11 points) and Abbotsford Pilots (7), and ahead of the Ridge Meadows Flames (5) and Knights (3).

Kodiaks fall to Steelers 6-4The Aldergrove Kodiaks were up

1-0 and 3-2 in the first two periods of their home tilt versus the Grandview Steelers last Wednesday night.

However, a third period rally by the Steelers saw them net four in a row before the Kodiaks closed scor-ing with a short-handed, unassisted goal from Brandon Dolby, to end the

game 6-4 for the visitors.Dolby, who earned the game’s

third star, opened the scoring that night with the first period’s only goal, assisted by Erik Bocale.

The Steelers evened it up in the second before Aldergrove scored two more. Scoring for the Kodiaks were Eric Callegari (on a power play) and Dryden Wust, with assists from Cameron Davitt, Wyatt Versluis and Joshua Pollock.

The Steelers outshot the Kodiaks 38-27 and scored twice on eight power plays.

Kodiaks maul Ice Hawks 5-2The Aldergrove Kodiaks are start-

ing to hit their stride, with a convinc-ing 5-2 win over Delta Ice Hawks Tuesday (Sept. 22) at Ladner Leisure Centre.

Kodiak Brandon Dolby notched two goals within the first five minutes of the game, to earn the game’s first star. Dolby’s assists came from Kyle Bosko, Matt Oliver (2), and Quinncy Leroux. The Hawks scored two min-utes later but Kodiak Leroux scored on a power play at 19:12, assisted by Olvier and Elvis Jansons, to put the Kodiaks up 3-1.

The Hawks scored their last goal of the night midway through the sec-ond period, before Cameron Davitt

scored, unassisted, to put the Kodiaks up 4-2.

At 42 seconds into the third Kodiak Spencer Unger scored the last goal of the night, assisted by Davitt and Eric Callegari, to end the game at 5-2 for the Kodiaks.

The Kodiaks outshot the Hawks 44-22 and scored on one of eight power plays, while stopping Delta on all four of their power plays.

The Kodiaks stand at five points after five games, with a pair of wins and an overtime loss. Mission leads at seven points in the Harold Brittain conference, followed by Abbotsford at six. Langley and Ridge Meadows trail at three and two points, respec-tively.

The Kodiaks host the Grandview Steelers Sept. 23 at Aldergrove Arena and travel to Preston Rec Centre Monday, Sept. 28 to play the Langley Knights.

Upcoming Kodiaks gamesThe Kodiaks host the Port Moody

Panthers at Aldergrove Arena on Wednesday, Sept. 30, followed by the Abbotsford Pilots on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Both Aldergrove home games start at 7:15 p.m.
