But August looms as deadline for deal between re-gion and provinceJEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS
Metro Vancouver’s transit expansion plan is closer to chugging out of the station but it is not yet fully on track despite a high-profile pledge Thursday from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Christy Clark to swiftly commit $616 million.
The federal government’s unprecedented 50% share of transit upgrades committed
by Ottawa earlier this year will provide $370 million for first-phase projects while the provincial government has pledged $246 million as its own third.
“I’m proud that the very first such agreement we’ve signed is right here in British Columbia,” Trudeau said dur-ing a press conference at the SkyTrain operations centre in Burnaby. “This is just phase one.”
If all unfolds according to plan, TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond said bus service could increase by early next year and a third SeaBus could be in service with sailings as often as every 10 minutes.

A cutting edge school in historic Maillardville graduates first class
TRI-CITY TEENS
About 3,000 students will be graduating this month from Tri-City schools. Here’s a story about 12 of them, teens from the first graduating class at School District 43’s Inquiry Hub.
DIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
Millside elementary school in Coquitlam’s historic Maillardville opened as a two-room school house in 1907 to serve mill workers’ children.
Today, the expanded and updated 109-year-old building is home to Inquiry Hub, an in-novative School District 43 pro-gram that could be the future for B.C.’s education system.
On Thursday, the school’s first 12 graduates were hon-oured at a special ceremony at Inlet Centre in Port Moody.
These are the students who have been pioneers in a way of learning that is self-paced and mostly self-directed. They are guided by two full-time and three part-time teachers who help the teens figure out their passions and work on projects that also meet the province’s academic requirements.
And while it looks more relax-ing than a typical school, it is not a get-out-of-school-free card. Challenged to work on projects with real-world applications, the students learned how to create an idea, make a plan and take action. In one case, Hannah Brown, Sophia Draper and Shauna Turner built a com-munity garden and now it’s a legacy for the school.
“We’ve been teaching younger students to take care of it,” said Draper.
Annica Howe developed a commercial glass recycling system for the Lower Mainland and plans to continue to work on the project after graduation.
Other students found the flexibility allowed them to pur-sue their interests and careers. Christopher Mereigh worked on obtaining his Red Seal as a cook at Joey’s Coquitlam while Emma Gheseger researched an-imal chiropractic and became an award-winning dog handler.
Lead teacher Dave Truss said the program is growing from about 26 students four years ago to 60 in the fall and could be a template for the province’s new curriculum for kids from kin-dergarten to Grade 12. “We’ve created a model with a focus on what the new curriculum is try-ing to achieve,” Truss said.
Many of the students are tak-ing what they learned into post-secondary education: Aaron Creighton, and Liam and Owen Wou (twin brothers) plan to go into engineering and say their favourite projects involved tech-nology, including building and maintaining a 3D printer and designing tiny houses.
Jay Jang bought a sensor with funds from the Ken Spencer Award granted to iHub for in-novation in teaching and learn-ing and built a virtual piano. He plans to go in to science or computer science.
Students said that while they enjoyed the flexibility of the program, what they most liked was to work on projects that had meaning to them.
Said Brown, on building the garden: “It was active. It was learning by doing.”
@dstrandbergTC
inquiry Hub’s 12 graduates had a lot of positive things to say about the in-novative, self-paced, project-based educational program. Below are a few of their comments; you can read more online at tricitynews.com.LEIF HOWE
With the unique air that iHub has, I felt so at home there. There is no bullying, there are no drugs, the teachers are all really helpful and can focus more on the students who need the attention. With the free work time, you have the opportunity to work on whatever you want, so if you are behind in one course, then you can use that time to catch up in the course; or if you are caught up, then you can use that time to get ahead of your schedule.
SOPHIA DRAPERComing to iHub has also allowed me to improve my public
speaking skills and has taught me a lot about working in a group — learning to use everyone’s strengths and helping each other out. Over the past four years, I’ve been able to focus and put more time into the subjects that I’m not as strong in, and really improve in these areas because of iHub’s flexibility.
EMMA GHESEGERI found this type of schooling to be more rewarding because
there are many chances to study subjects that you’re interested in. For example, this year for my IDS course, I researched animal chiropractic, which is what I’d like to do after high school. The flexibility here also helped me excel in my passions outside of school, such as riding horses and being a dog show handler.
MEGHAN PELLYThis school was just what I needed. It is small and had a re-
laxed atmosphere, which helped my social anxiety — I would
never have been able to attend a school with 1,500 students, My grandfather Gerry Irvine went to this school (Millside) 65 years ago. His father John worked at Fraser Mills and the family lived in Maillardville. I can honestly say spending the last four years at Inquiry Hub has helped me with my confidence with speaking publicly. I am also very excited to be a part of the first graduating class of Inquiry Hub.
OWEN WOUBuilding a 3D printer as an independent directed studies
school project is definitely an experience which I would not have had in a normal school. That project taught me many things, but largely that failure is a big part of the learning process.

Boyfriend likely target as woman, 22, gunned downVIKKI HOPESBLACK PRESS
Two men, including one Port Moody resident, have been charged in relation to the 2010 shooting death of Mandy Johnson in Abbotsford.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) an-nounced Wednesday that Jason Himpfen has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to Johnson’s death while Gavinder (Gavin) Grewal of PoMo has been charged with manslaughter. Both men have also been charged with the at-
tempted murder of Johnson’s boyfriend, Gater Browne.
Johnson, 22, was shot and killed while sitting in the pas-senger seat of a Chevy Tahoe on July 28, 2010 at about 3 a.m. in the 31100-block of Polar Avenue, just west of Townline Road in Abbotsford. Browne,
now 37, was shot at but no bul-lets struck him and he was able to get away.
Police at the time said they believed the incident was linked to the street-level drug trade.
Following Johnson’s death, a friend told the Abbotsford News the Langley woman, a single mother of a young daughter, was not involved in the drug trade and had been “at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person.”
IHIT Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound said it has taken time for in-vestigators to gather enough evidence to lay charges in the case. She said IHIT and the Abbotsford Police Department
(APD) have been “tenaciously working together.”
“This tragic incident is an-other example of how difficult homicide investigations can be and highlights the dedication that is required from investiga-tors,” she said.
“IHIT has remained com-mitted to obtaining justice for Mandy Johnson despite the passage of time and we would be remiss if we did not thank the family and friends for their patience and trust in us for the past six years.”
IHIT released a statement on behalf of Johnson’s mother, who described her daughter as “caring, compassionate and full of life.”
“Mandy was innocent and did not deserve to die… This selfish act has changed my life, and the lives of those who knew her, forever. Her only fault was falling in love with a guy that didn’t deserve her and trusting that her love would be enough,” the statement read. She thanked investigators for their “hard work and perseverance” in the case.
The two men arrested are well known to police.
Himpfen, 41, has convictions that include carrying a loaded and prohibited weapon, breach-ing his conditions, and numer-ous counts of theft and pos-sessing a controlled substance. He was arrested for Johnson’s murder early Wednesday as he
was released from the Fraser Regional Correction Centre, where he had just completed a 12-month sentence for an unre-lated incident.
Grewal, 29, was arrested last Friday just after 4 p.m. in Port Moody. In March 2015, the APD issued a public warning about three men they said were in-volved in the Townline Hill gang conflict in west Abbotsford. Grewal was one of those men. He has a 2012 conviction for extortion and a 2013 conviction for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and was prohibited from possessing firearms.

Bomb scare prompts several evacuations
CRIME
Shelter, office and courthouse were cleared ThursdaySARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
A 25-year-old man was ar-rested Thursday morning as police responded to reports of a bomb at the Coquitlam home-less shelter.
Coquitlam RCMP responded to a call at the RainCity Housing shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. at 8:45 a.m. and had one man in custody by 9:08 a.m., said Const. Jamie Phillipson.
Incidents that occurred dur-ing that time prompted police to evacuate the shelter and sev-eral surrounding businesses.
Information suggested the man had visited the probation office in Port Coquitlam earlier that morning, prompting police to also evacuate the provincial courthouse and probation office.
The RCMP Explosives Disposal Unit and the Integrated Police Dog Services Section investigated the areas in Coquitlam and PoCo but found no explosive devices; the evacuation orders were lifted just after noon.
Bill Briscall, communications
manager for RainCity Housing, which operates 3030 Gordon Ave., said staff were hoping to get back into the building soon.
Asked if there were any concerns about the security of the building and surrounding areas, Briscall said the police response was associated “to the person in question and not to the state of the building.”
Despite early opposition to the homeless shelter, which was in the works from 2009 until it opened over the winter, the community has since wel-
comed the facility with dona-tions for books, a computer work station and more, he said. Briscall said the surrounding businesses meet with RainCity Housing monthly and more than 40 people attended a re-cent volunteer fair.
“I’d say things are going really well,” he said.
The 25-year-old man re-mains in police custody and could be facing criminal charges.

Late-night work planned at PCT on PM waterfront
PACIFIC COAST TERMINALS
SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
Pacific Coast Terminals will be working late throughout the summer on its rail car unload-ing facility.
A letter dated April 25 was submitted to Port Metro Vancouver requesting the ad-ditional hours for interior struc-tural welding work, from 8 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday from April 29 to Aug. 31.
PCT said the additional hours are needed because of unexpected geotechnical com-plications that came up while “establishing foundations and while ensuring safe work condi-tions.”
The additional work is not expected to disrupt neighbours, PCT stated in its letter, because
it will use the existing genera-tor set that is already running continuously. The noise was predicted to be similar to that during construction of the Y-track near Reed Point Marina in the winter.
In January, PCT began a month of overnight construc-tion work on its property, including excavating and other infrastructure work, to extend the railway tracks. The overnight hours were needed to coincide with low tide in the inlet. At the time, Leslie said the community had asked that additional work take place during the winter, when nearby residents would have their windows closed.
PoMo Mayor Mike Clay said he hasn’t heard any complaints regarding the work at PCT in the past couple of months
“I think the permit and the exemptions they got were for a worst-case scenario; I don’t think they’re going to be mak-ing noise every day until 10 p.m.,” he said.
Port Metro approved the extended hours on May 20 with conditions that PCT submit a report from its noise consul-tants, BKL, including measure-ments, predicted noise levels and recommended mitigations, according to a port authority spokesperson.
As well, PCT was required to send a construction notice to the area at least five business days before the start of construction during extended hours; that was sent on May 27, with a proposed start date of June 1.

Kim BC Libs’ choice again in Coq.-Maill.
PROVINCIAL POLITICS
Candidate lost in 2013 election to Selina Robinson
The BC Liberals have named their third Tri-City candidate for next year’s provincial elec-tion.
On Wednesday, the party acclaimed Steve Kim to face off against incumbent NDP MLA Selina Robinson in the riding of Coquitlam-Maillardville in 2017.
Kim, 43, a Centennial secondary graduate and Maillardville resident, is the BC Liberal president for the riding and ran against Robinson in 2013, losing by 41 votes follow-ing a judicial recount.
“I feel very fortunate that I’m going to have a lot more time this time around,” Kim told The Tri-City News on Thursday. “I am hoping to get to more doors and talk to the people.”
Kim said, if elected, he wants to bring better riding represen-tation to Victoria and fight for improved safety measures at the Brunette interchange. He also wants to bring a stronger
voice to seniors and multicul-tural issues.
Kim’s nomination comes a month after the BC Liberals named Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer and Joan Isaacs as candidates for the May 9, 2017, contest. Isaacs lost to the NDP’s Jodie Wickens in the Coquitlam-Burke Mountain byelection in February.
No BC Liberal candidate has been chosen for the rid-ing of Port Coquitlam, a seat currently held by veteran NDP MLA Mike Farnworth.
The NDP has yet to officially announce its candidates.

The night is dark... and full of crackers“The night is dark, and full of terrors.”
So says one of the characters on the popular TV se-ries Game of Thrones. The same character also gives birth to an adult-sized shadow demon that crawls
out of her womb and floats straight to an enemy camp to murder a rival. So, you know, grain of salt.
I have, however, come to understand a new kind of night terror now that I’m a parent. I cherish my sleep but the thing about sleep is that you are not awake. And if you’re not awake, you can’t see or hear things that are going on around you.
As a parent, you spend all your waking hours making sure that your children are safe. When you are sleeping, however, you don’t know what they are doing. As long as your children are quiet, they could do whatever they want every night during your deep sleep hours and you’ll never know it.
One night a couple of years ago, I awoke to find my elder son, then just three years old, calmly sitting on the couch in our living room eating a box of crackers. I
shuffled him off to bed, chuckling at his toddler audacity. It wasn’t until the next morning that I found the extent of his midnight roaming. On my iPhone were dozens of photos taken around the house, mostly just fuzzy dark shots of the floor.
A few things amazed me about this discovery: 1) I didn’t know he could reach my iPhone perched on a high ledge 2) I didn’t know he knew how to use my iPhone 3) His photography skills were already better than mine.
A few years later, I awoke to find my younger son sitting in his crib, casually flipping through a soccer magazine. He couldn’t yet read and he also couldn’t get out of his crib. Or so I thought. Later that day, I was shocked when he launched into a long rant about the deplorable con-ditions facing the migrant workers building World Cup stadiums in Qatar.
You hear stories about kids who wake up in the middle of the night and wander right out of the house without their parents knowing about it. Luckily, that has never happened in my house — as far as I know. I suppose one of the boys could have slipped out one night and gone for
a forest romp with a pack of wild cougars. If he was quiet enough on the way in and wiped off his muddy boots, we’d never know until we discovered the dead rabbits stashed under his pillow.
Deep down, though, all parents know the truth. As youngsters, I’m sure nearly all of us got into shenanigans while our parents were fast asleep just down the hall. Don’t deny it. Even my wife, who could have been the next Mother Teresa if she hadn’t fallen for my charms, has admitted to at least one late-night shimmy out the basement window to meet up with friends. She insists that it was only to go to Wendy’s for ice cream treats.
For the sake of brevity, let’s just say that I also only snuck out once and it was also to go to Wendy’s.
Our parents never seemed to know what was up. Or did they? Now that I’m a parent, I’ve realized that when the battle is sleep versus parenting, sleep often wins.
So I’m at peace with it now. If the boys are silent and don’t wreck anything — most of all, themselves — I’ll never know. Ignorance is bliss, eh boys?
Just watch out for those shadow demons.

Playland pushDo Playland and the Pacific National Exhibition
need an upgrade?The city of Vancouver is considering one with
a $120-million, 10-year proposal to redevelop the long-standing attraction at Hastings Park.
No decisions have yet been made by the city but the Pacific National Exhibition suggests the upgrade to rides and attractions, as well as greening the park, could po-tentially double revenues. Part of the plan would be to increase admission prices from $36 for a one-day pass at the gate to $50.
It’s uncertain whether Vancouver council will ap-prove the plan, which is seen as boosting the city’s economic engine. The suggestion is that the city needs something that is still more affordable than traveling to Disneyland and would give the Lower Mainland an-other tourist attraction.
Playland seems a little dated and, for some, that’s part of its charm. But maybe it’s time for the aging attraction to move into the 21st century.

Many want to stay in homes
CORONATION PARK
The Editor,Re. “Coronation Park may
be perfect place for density” (Letters, The Tri-City News, June 8).
Suddenly, the letter writer has become an environmental-ist and is worried about his car-bon footprint even though he has chosen to live in his 11,000 square feet of energy-guzzling property without doing any up-grades. This is only opportun-ism — he has refused to mod-ernize his home and now wants to be overcompensated for it.
Our Coronation Park home was also built in the early 1960s. In contrast, we chose to make our home more ecologi-cally friendly. We upgraded to energy-efficient lighting and appliances, replaced wiring, plumbing and insulation, and put in a new furnace, hot water tank and double-glazed win-dows.
Our backyard is right on Ioco Road, across from Thrifty Foods, yet we do not hear any 5 a.m. honking of horns, and
actually find the noise level has reduced since the ambulance station moved away from Ioco and Guilford.
Now, we can walk to stores, banks, offices, insurance, coffee houses, parks, the ocean, the hospital, the gym, the library, etc. If we move to another sin-gle-family home in Port Moody, we lose that option — but, hey, we might get a view.
We should not be forced to give it up our home because of some opportunistic residents who are trying to get as much money for their rundown, out-dated homes as they possibly can. These people are welcome to move, we honestly can’t fig-ure out what they’re waiting for. Oh yes, their big payout.
We support the city’s efforts to maximize land use in areas that don’t destroy entire neigh-bourhoods of single-family homes. We also support sensi-tive infill in Coronation Park that will allow people to stay in their homes if they wish.Sherry Dina, Port Moody
Check out Coq. council’s vote on campaign finance
CIVIC ELECTION FINANCING
The Editor,Re. “Who should donate to
election campaigns? Speak up” (The Tri-City News, June 15).
As per the referenced ar-ticle, there will be a dialogue regarding campaign contribu-tions at the Gallery Bistro in Port Moody.
But if one would really like to hear how all of council feels in regards to this issue, I would recommend coming out to the Monday, June 20 council meeting at Coquitlam city hall as councillors will be voting on a motion to ban cor-porate and union donations in municipal elections.
Why should Joe Q. Public be interested? And what does this meant to you?
The Coquitlam mo-tion asks the Union of BC Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to ban corporate and union dona-tions. If the province were to change election financing laws to do so, there would be less opportunity for city
councillors to be swayed big donors.
How is this good for you? As a voter, you could feel more confident knowing that your elected representatives will be more engaged with the folks they represent and more criti-cal of the parties that could be potentially damaging to the in-terests of the general populace.
What might this for the mean the democratic process and for future candidates? It
would level the playing field by taking money out of the equation. It would open the door for more people to throw their hats in the ring to run for office because they wouldn’t need huge sums of money to run a campaign. It would create more transparency be-cause voters would know the money raised by candidates won’t potentially have strings attached.
Some folks may think this is
an issue here in Coquitlam — perhaps it is, perhaps it isn’t — but across our great nation, many Canadians believe that it is and in many provinces, other Canadians are banning these donations at both a pro-vincial and civic levels.
So I urge you to make the time on Monday at 7 p.m. to drop in at Coquitlam city hall and have your voice heard on this pressing matter.Mike Bell, Coquitlam
Coquitlam councillors Terry O’Neill, Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo will attend a dialogue on civic election donations next Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Gallery Bistro in Port Moody. Coquitlam will de-bate Coun. Zarrillo’s motion calling for a ban on corporate and union donations on Monday.

RALLY FOR BERT FLINNA large crowd gathered at Port Moody city hall Tuesday evening for a Save Bert Flinn Park rally. The group was there to voice its opposition to building the David Avenue extension, which would be required if development at the old Ioco townsite goes forward. The protest group’s Hunter Madsen told council they are not “’re-fuseniks’ … opposed to all development on the North Shore. We’re only opposed to unwise development that threatens to seriously harm our quality of life.” Mayor Mike Clay noted the city has not received any development proposals from the property owner, Brilliant Circle Group. “The developer is working on a plan we have yet to see, and is considering… the David Avenue extension not in the park but in the road right-of-way because that’s what our policy tells him he must do.”

MP’s Good Samaritan act gets a step closer
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City MP Ron McKinnon was the first sitting federal Liberal to have his num-ber drawn in the House of Commons to introduce his pri-vate member’s bill this session.
And this week, Bill C-224 — better known as the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act — passed yet another par-liamentary hurdle after it was scrutinized by the country’s standing committee on health.
On Wednesday, the rookie MP for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam appeared before the committee to speak about his bill’s merits and its sup-porters.
Since February, when it received first reading in the House, McKinnon has col-lected numerous endorse-ments — including from Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.’s provincial health officer — and recorded digital testimonies from Tri-City elected officials, emer-gency workers, counsellors and relatives of addicts who want to see the bill become legislation (to view the videos, go to ronmckinnon.org).
Last month, the bill re-ceived a unanimous second reading in the House and, on Wednesday, McKinnon spoke to the health committee for 30 minutes to address comments and concerns about the bill — the first overdose immunity policy tabled in Canada.
“They were really drilling down,” McKinnon said of the committee members. “They wanted to know things like, Is the victim protected from im-munity? Yes, everybody at the scene is protected… because
you want them to render as-sistance.”
Last week, the BC Coroners Service said 308 people died from accidental illicit drug overdoses between January and May 2016 — a 75% in-crease over the same period last year. Fentanyl was respon-sible for more than half of the deaths.
Next week, McKinnon’s bill is expected to go through another committee study to re-view each clause, he said. If it is passed, it returns to the House — with or without amend-ments — for the report stage. And if that’s successful, third reading will be held sometime this fall before moving to the Senate for consideration.
Also supporting McKinnon’s bill is Port Moody-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly, who is ex-pected to see one of his private member’s bills or motions brought forward this fall.
Donnelly, the NDP critic for Fisheries, Oceans and Canadian Coast Guard, has three bills and four motions — or statements of intent — to pick from when his number is up, including bills on closed-containment fish farms; ban-ning importation of shark fins;
and extending employment insurance for sick people from 15 to 50 weeks.
Donnelly said he has been working on the fish farms bill for a while now and even has support from Star Trek actor William Shatner.
“A lot of work and consulta-tion has been done on that al-ready,” Donnelly said, adding, “but what I bring forward will be a combination of priorities, timing and the likelihood of success. I’m really passion-ate about salmon health and the impacts and threats to the wild salmon. This is really im-portant to me. It’s what I cam-paigned on.”
McKinnon said he supports Donnelly’s proposal in prin-ciple.

But those immediate service increases as well as a planned order to buy more SkyTrain cars from Bombardier all depend on Metro Vancouver mayors quickly hammering out an agreement with the province on how the region will raise its 17% share of capital costs plus more operating money — about $3.9 billion over 10 years.
If there’s no deal by the end of August, officials admit, the purchases of new vehicles have to be shelved, as will any early service increase.
The phase one plan calls for 28 new SkyTrain cars for the Expo and Millennium Lines, 22 new Canada Line cars, five more cars for the West Coast Express and a new SeaBus — $255 million worth in all.
“We need some other fund-ing mechanism to close the gap,” Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said. “And that’s the hard work that’s going to have to happen next.”
Hepner hailed the bilateral agreement of the senior govern-ments — the first one for major new transit funding in Canada under the Trudeau Liberals — as a “very significant” step forward.
One reason for Hepner’s op-timism is the deal ensures $157 million in design and other planning work for the Surrey light rail lines and Broadway subway in Vancouver will now go ahead, putting those projects in position to break ground in 18 months.
Actual construction will still depend on a phase two agree-ment on federal and provincial funding, and the mayors and province ironing out their dif-ferences over new funding sources — no small task.
Metro mayors last month pressed the province to agree to either a new funding source, such as a vehicle levy, or dedi-cate $50 million a year from an existing one, such as the carbon tax.
They insist they want the re-mainder financed without sub-jecting the plan to the uncer-tainty of another referendum like the one that defeated the proposed regional 0.5% sales tax last summer and continued a years-long impasse over tran-sit expansion.
While the mayors have previ-ously resisted any voluntary increase in TransLink property taxes, they gave ground on that point when they tabled their funding proposal last month.
It would accelerate TransLink property tax increases to an automatic 3% a year from the 2% currently set in provincial legislation.
Not all mayors attended the Trudeau-Clark announcement.
Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said she boycotted the event because of concerns new taxes or even road pricing will be unfair to her residents.
Minister for TransLink Peter Fassbender said he won’t speculate on whether the plan can fully unfold without a new referendum but insisted the federal-provincial agreement is
a major sign of good faith that Ottawa and Victoria will work with the region.
Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokesperson Jordan Bateman called for a ref-erendum on any eventual move to implement road pricing.
“You have to have social licence from people on road pricing,” he said. “People
should have a direct vote on whether that new form of taxa-tion is acceptable.”
An initial chunk of regional funding will come from TransLink’s sale of $125 mil-lion in surplus property in Vancouver.
Bateman called that “great validation” for No voters last year that TransLink has been
forced to liquidate its own as-sets rather than simply seek more taxes.

BRIEF FLOOD AT COQ. WCE STATION
Coquitlam parents looking for a break from dipping into their wallets can head to a city recreation facility this summer.
As of today (Friday), the city will start accepting the Summer Child and Youth Pass — a $20 card good until Sept. 6 that al-lows newborns to 18-year-olds unlimited access to all drop-in programs, including at indoor and outdoor pools.
The Coquitlam passes can be purchased online at co-quitlam.ca or in person at the City Centre Aquatic Complex, Dogwood Pavilion, Glen Pine Pavilion, Pinetree community centre and Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Coquitlam’s
outdoor pool admissions rose by 87% last summer over the summer of 2014 due to the pass, according to a city staff report.
Meanwhile, Port Moody’s universal summer drop-in pass for children and youth — also for kids up to 18 years of age — can be activated on Monday and costs $20 for drop-in ac-tivities and outdoor swimming. That pass can be bought at the PoMo recreation complex.
Port Coquitlam is also launching a summer youth pass this year but its $20 card (which is expected to get final city coun-cil endorsement at a meeting on June 27) is only good for its two outdoor pools: Centennial and
Robert Hope. Asked why the PoCo pass
doesn’t include the Hyde Creek recreation centre indoor pool or drop-in programs as in Coquitlam and Port Moody, city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said the city already has a num-ber of discounted and free drop-in programs for children and youth through the Leisure for Less program.
The PoCo pass is effective from June 28 to Sept. 6 and is available for purchase as of June 28 online via experienceit.ca and, in person, at Hyde Creek and PoCo rec centres, and the Gathering Place.
West Coast Express com-muters got their feet wet Tuesday morning when a flash flood sent water pouring into Coquitlam Central station.
Photos on social media showed commuters with their shoes off and pants rolled up to wade through the water to get to work.
Said commuter BonBon0711 on Twitter “ankle deep!!! Took my shoes off holy #rain.”
A TransLink spokesperson confirmed there was a brief flash flood at the station due to unusually heavy rains.
“The station drainage was able to disperse the high vol-ume of water within a few min-
utes. Our drainage connects to the local municipal drainage system. No leaves or debris were interfering with drain-age,” Cheryl Ziola, manager of TransLink media relations, stated in an email. The water didn’t affect the trains and no one reported any injuries.

SARAH PAYNETHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Pull on your tartan, relive Elvis’ glorious ‘68 comeback, explore Austin Heights, check out amazing classic cars, learn about Squamish his-tory and, most of all, celebrate everything that makes your Dad great this weekend.
Friday, June 17GREAT SCOTS
Whether you like shortbread, haggis, bagpipes or Scotch, it’s time to bring out your inner Scot and celebrate it in true plaid style at the annual BC Highland Games & Scottish Festival. The events kick off at Percy Perry Stadium (Town Centre Park, Coquitlam) at 5 p.m. and continue Saturday, with highland dancing, piping and drumming, heavy events and caber tossing, chil-dren’s activities, a British car display, sheepdog demo and much more.

THE KING IS BACKSee Elvis like you’ve never seen him before
— just as he was in his triumphant return to the stage back in 1968, clad in black leather as he cemented his reign as the king of rock ‘n’ roll following a seven-year stint in the movie biz. Tribute artist Eli Williams, with the all-star band the Memphis Sound, recreates Elvis’ TV special in a multimedia extravaganza in This is Elvis 68: The Show! at 8 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Dr., PoMo). Tickets are $25 (plus service charges) at www.inlettheatre.ca or at the door. Visit www.68theshow.com for more infor-mation about the performance.
Saturday, June 18DAISY DAY
Austin Heights comes alive with its annual Daisy Day celebration today. The neighbour-hood goes all out for the festivities, which start with a pancake breakfast (9 to 10:30 a.m.) and continue with live entertainment ranging from Eli Wiliams as Elvis to Excel Martial Arts, Fat Jazz and Paws 2 Dance (a canine musical). Many shops offer sidewalk sales and other discounts during this popular neighbourhood event. Visit www.austinheights.ca for more details.
CARS GALOREBring Dad to the KMS Tools Charity Show
& Shine and enjoy a day of oohing and ahhing over the hundreds of classic and custom cars on display. KMS is celebrating its 21st annual event with live music, free smokies and pop, contests, a power tool competition and much more. Funds raised go to Team Mexico, which builds homes and schools in less privileged areas of
the country. And while you’re there, find out how your old tools can give new hope through the Tools for the World program both overseas and in Fort McMurray. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at KMS Tools (110 Woolridge St., Coquitlam, beside Ikea).
MEET THE RESCUERSLearn more about the tremendous volunteer
efforts of Coquitlam Search and Rescue at a meet-and-greet at Canadian Tire (King Edward Street/Lougheed Highway, Coquitlam) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers are hosting a barbe-cue fundraiser for their new command centre and will be showcasing rescue activities and techniques for both young and seasoned hik-ers. While you’re there, enter to win a survival backpack.

its Pinetree Way parking lot from noon to 5 p.m. today. The event includes free hot dogs (at noon) and by-donation pony rides, Gizmo the clown,

Books Plus runs in The Tri-City News each Friday to highlight programs and hap-penings in the Tri-Cities’ three libraries: Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.
COQUITLAM• Adult Summer Reading
Club: This year, grown-ups can join in all the reading fun with the Adult Summer Reading Club. The theme this year is “Greetings from around the world” — books set in different countries or books written by an author from a foreign country. To participate: Pick up a set of reading club postcards from the library. Read a book by an author from a specific country or a book set in a specific country, then fill in the book title, author, country and some comments on the back of your postcard. Return to the library for a stamp. Repeat for all five postcards and show the library your completed postcard set (five total) by Aug. 30 to be entered into CPL’s grand prize draw. (Note: Books must be adult-
level novels and each must represent a different country. A total of five books must be read to qualify for the grand prize draw.) As well, you can participate in answering the questions and milestones on the Coquitlam Public Library Facebook page for a chance at weekly prizes.
For more information about any of these programs, visit www.coqlibrary.ca. The City Centre branch is located at 1169 Pinetree Way and the Poirier branch at 575 Poirier St.
PORT MOODY• Philosopher’s Café
— grief: Grief is unique to each person — we need to become familiar with how we grieve. How might ritual support the grieving process? Join SFU facilitator Meg Zuccaro on Tuesday, June 21 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in PMPL’s ParkLane Room to explore these and other questions.
• Hike, bike and paddle safely: On Wednesday, June 22 from 7 to 8:30 p.m., experts Steve Chapman, Roy Janzen and Lyle Litzenberger will be on hand in the library’s
ParkLane Room to tell you everything you need to know to have fun outdoors this summer. The program will be illustrated with slides and commentary with lots of time for questions. Call 604-469-4577 to reserve a seat at this free program.
• Adult Summer Reading Club: Which path will take you to your ultimate sum-mer reads? Summer reading isn’t just for kids so check our website for more information on special club events, con-tests and book recommenda-tions. The club runs through Aug. 31 — register now.
For more information, visit library.portmoody.ca or call 604-469-4577. Port Moody Public Library is located at 100 Newport Dr., in the city hall complex.
TERRY FOX• Beginner bike mainte-
nance: You can learn basic bicycle maintenance tips and tricks from HUB, a non-profit organization whose mission is to get more people cycling in Metro Vancouver. This free two-hour session is sponsored by TransLink and
will cover the fundamentals of how your bike works, basic fixes and how you can keep it running smoothly this sum-mer. Adults and teens are all welcome to attend. (Note: This program will get you started working on your own bicycle but is not a full repair session.) The session runs Saturday, June 25, 10 a.m. to noon.
• Ukulele Jam: All “uked” up and no place to jam? Whether you are a ukulele newbie or a seasoned strum-mer, join librarians at Terry Fox Library for a fun relaxed evening with fellow uke en-thusiasts to play a wide range of music — from traditional ballads to popular hits from the 1950s to today. Everyone is welcome to join on the last Tuesday of every month. The next jam session takes place on Tuesday, June 28, 7 to 8 p.m. No registration is required.
For more information, visit www.fvrl.bc.ca or the Fraser Valley Regional Library Facebook page. Terry Fox Library is located 2470 Mary Hill Rd. in PoCo. Phone 604-927-7999.

YOURVA L E D I C T O R I A N S
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
With so much to choose from — intramural sports, minute-to-win-it competitions, senior sail and graduation itself, with all the entailed celebration — I really can’t decide. All I can tell you is that is wasn’t taking the tests.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I am mostly going to miss the amazing opportunities being in high school has granted me, with free classes where I can choose to learn and develop skills and passions, and a convenient place where I can get together with the friends I’ve come to know over four or more years.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I think my high school choices have been well made and bene� cial. Due to the choices I have made, I am able to continue on academically
with my � rst choice of school, in a program that has interested me for years. If I had to choose something that I regret, it would only be that I didn’t take more fun classes; I was so focused on completing required classes, I forgot to take courses that I would enjoy.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I will begin my schooling at UBC next year and I plan to take the Master of Architecture program. Once this six-year program is complete, I will start my career as an architect in this ever-growing city, where I will utilize my creativity and attention to detail to become a successful architect.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Don’t let the excitement of graduating hinder your motivation. Keep working hard and � nish the year strong. You’re almost at the � nish line, time for your � nal sprint.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
If there were something that stuck out to me this year, I would have to choose between having an unforgettable ultimate frisbee season or taking a cruise with my graduating class. As ultimate remains one of my favourite sports, to experience a successful season in my last year of high school as well as participating in the world’s largest international Spring Reign tournament was incredible. Along with that, many memories were made on our grad cruise, with my favourite being challenged to speak to di�erent people from all over the world.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
Without a doubt, I’m going to miss participating on the various athletic teams, such as volleyball, basketball, track and �eld, badminton, and ultimate frisbee. �e many athletic opportunities at BCCA have contributed to moulding me into the person I am today and taught me the value of relentless hard work, punctuality, perseverance and commitment.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
In spite of failures and di�culties that arose throughout my life, I wouldn’t change one
thing. One might think they’d prevent a bad experience from happening again but each challenge has taught me a di�erent lesson and each experience has shaped my character. All of it acted as steps to ful�lling my purpose. I was re�ned through the bad times and assured of God’s grace and love through the good.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I plan to study human kinetics in preparation for becoming a physiotherapist. I plan to go to Douglas College for the �rst two years to complete my prerequisites and then transfer to UBC. In the future, I desire to open my own athletic-focused clinic.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Each of you, no matter how insigni�cant you may seem, were given a gi� to be used for incredible things that no one else can accomplish. Embrace it. Don’t let comparing your abilities to others or recalling past failures hinder you from ful�lling your God-given purpose. Life wasn’t made to be done alone. �ere’s help and guidance available, all you need to do is ask.
B C C H R I S T I A N A C A D E M Y
VA L E D I C T O R I A N : A S H L E Y W O N G
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
Some fun thing happened with some fun people. Every moment coming to mind can be easily summarized with that sentence. Honestly, the highlights from year to year don’t really change: winter break, semester break, spring break, long weekends... Any time I was free to do what I wanted with the people I wanted was signi�cant. Graduation year was only di�erent because the rarity and �nality of these moments really hit me. So, although the highlights have been relatively similar, those from this past year will always be particularly special.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I’ve met some amazing individuals over the past 13 years, many of which share the coveted Charles Bestian title. It’s going to be really di�cult for me to accept separation and acknowledge that their presence is no longer a certitude. I don’t know about the cafeteria food or the simplicity of pre-calculus, but I’ll de�nitely miss the people.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
High school has been a series of learning curves. Of course I’ve had my fair share of goof-ups these past four years — as an
ignorant adolescent human, I’m allowed a few. However, I don’t wish to go back and change anything. Mistakes are inevitable, to “�x” them only ensures their recurrence. �at being said, I would have done my own make-up for graduation pictures. Just so my grandma could recognize me.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
�e media has brainwashed me into thinking forensic science is my future, so next year I will be attending the University of Windsor with that �eld in mind. If that doesn’t work out, maybe an actress. I don’t know, I like to be realistic, so, if for some reason I’m not cast in a Hollywood blockbuster by the time I’m 20, professional volleyball player is plan C.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Nothing they haven’t heard before. Time is valuable, appreciate it. �e people you surround yourself with won’t always be there, enjoy them while they are. Uncertainty is normal. Failure shouldn’t be feared. Limitations shouldn’t be set. And for god’s sake, do your own graduation picture make-up.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
One highlight from this year would have to be working on a famous photo recreation project with my wonderful teacher Mr. Smelser. It was a very complex project that involved taking multiple photos of students, staging each photo, then photoshopping the individual pictures together. It was a long, rewarding process and it was great to see it on display at the Coquitlam Centre high school art show.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I will miss the school, teachers, friendships and relationships that were created and matured within the walls of CABE. CABE is like a family and I will miss them dearly.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I am a very trusting individual, almost to a fault, but I believe everyone has something beautiful, powerful and peaceful to
contribute. I wish I had more of a chance to see people step up in their school work and succeed. I think I, too, might have become more involved in the leadership group as I loved working with others to make change in our school and community.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I hope to take some time to work in order to obtain tuition so I will be �nancially capable to enter post-secondary. My plan is to attend Douglas College and enrol in the Child and Youth Care Program, so I can become a social worker and help children and families.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Life is like one big road with lots of signs. When you are riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts. Put your vision to reality. Wake up and live! — anonymous.

FLEE FROM HATE, MISCHIEF AND JEALOUSY. DON’T BURY YOUR THOUGHTS. PUT YOUR VISION TO REALITY.
WAKE UP AND LIVE!
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
My highlight cannot be credited to a speci�c event but to the evolvement of my self-identity through an accumulation of unique experiences. Going on fascinating �eld trips and participating in an app-coding competition are only a handful of many endearing memories, but the challenges undertook as a graduating student have prompted this year to be my most ful�lling one yet.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I will never forget my relationships with my friends and teachers. �eir incredible encouragement and help through the years have fostered me to who I am today, and I couldn’t have come so far without them. I will dearly miss the history created with my grad class and the brilliant support of my mentors.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I would have taken more chances. Even the simple act of being the �rst to say hello can be an opportunity unconsciously missed. I’m proud of what I have accomplished, yet I wish for even more determination in my early years to experience each day to its fullest and end every day with quiet satisfaction.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I will be studying engineering at the University of British Columbia. I have not yet decided which program I would like to pursue in second year but my current interests include civil, mechanical and integrated engineering. I love to travel and hope to explore di�erent cultures by studying abroad during university.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Grade 12 is an incredibly busy year, so don’t allow time to �y by and only recognize its passing until it is nearly over. Commit to decisions with passion, stay grounded and do it for you. In the words of David McCullough Jr., “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.”

The official closure of the
Burrard Thermal generating
station this week means the
end of a reliable source of
local power, says one of the
facility’s former engineers.
It’s a critical loss for the
region and one that can-
not be easily replaced, says
Martin Cavin, who retired
in 2013 from BC Hydro after
a 24-year career at the Port
Moody power plant as a
power engineer and opera-
tions manager.
“It is the only large gen-
erating plant in the whole
Lower Mainland,” he said,
noting the generating fa-
cilities at Ruskin, Stave and
Buntzen lakes are “tiny” in
comparison to Burrard’s 900
megawatt (MW) capacity.

Tri-City residents care about
their bus system, results of
TransLink’s public consulta-
tion show.
But when it comes to new
routes, there appear to be more
winners than losers as the
regional transit authority rolls
out routes to connect people
to the Evergreen Line, which is
slated to open in early 2017.
As many as 3,700 people re-
sponded to TransLink’s transit
network review last fall, a third
of the 12,017 total, and there
were at least two petitions sub-
mitted as well, to get officials to
pay attention to their concerns.
THE WINNERSWho got what they wanted?
For the most part, Coquitlam,
Port Coquitlam, Port Moody,
Anmore and Belcarra residents
will benefit from the opening
of the $1.4-billion rapid transit
line, with many neighbour-
hoods seeing new routes and
connections to stations along
the route, according to the
recommendations that will
be rolled out in the coming
months.
For example, there was
plenty of support for new
routes on Heritage Mountain
in Port Moody, Westwood
Plateau and the Mayfair indus-
trial area in Coquitlam, and
the Dominion Triangle in Port
Coquitlam plus a new route
to get Simon Fraser University
students to campus faster from
the new Burquitlam Station on
the Evergreen Line.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
�e entire year has been a highlight but I would say the biggest one is all the growth I’ve undergone throughout the year. Serving as the student council prime minister this year allowed me to grow tremendously, especially with my con�dence. It forced me out of my comfort zone and let me show the world who I really am.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
�e people. Our graduating class is quite unique, we’ve been through a lot together. I have made so many lifelong connections and memories with my peers. I think that’s what I’ll miss the most. I’ll also miss the teachers who supported me all throughout high school, especially Ms. Chambers. She’s done a lot for me and I couldn’t be more grateful.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I wish would have gotten involved and stepped out of my comfort zone a lot earlier. �ere is so much that life has to o�er that I may have missed out just because I let fear dictate my life. �at being said, I try not to dwell on the past. Everything happens for a reason.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I will be attending the University of Toronto this fall and I intend on majoring in international relations or public policy. I have always been passionate about issues concerning human rights and want to help others overcome adversity. I hope to achieve this doing work as an international human rights lawyer or working with a non-governmental organization.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Focus on yourself. Everyone will be trying to pull you in a thousand di�erent directions, telling you what you should and shouldn’t do, but the only opinion that matters is your own. And relax! Enjoy the moment! As much as you want high school to end, you’ll miss it when it does.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
During my graduation year, I had the opportunity to truly connect with my friends and family. I had the chance to realize that I built a great support system for myself. With their constant love and encouragement, it helped shape me to who I am today.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I will miss the accessibility to all my close friends, teachers and de�nitely my family. A�er high school, as we all separate onto di�erent paths, it would require more e�ort to visit everyone from various cities. Despite that, I believe that some bonds are strong enough to withstand any distance.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I wish I took the chance to explore my other passions with greater depth. Being academically driven, I rarely ventured away
from my main area of focus. I had many other hobbies but I wish I pursued a more diverse academic course-load.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I will enter the Faculty of Science at McGill University this fall. Currently, I am striving to attend medical school in hopes to specialize in anesthesiology in the future. But I want to be open-minded during my undergraduate years for other possibilities.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
When life gets you down, the only person who can pick you back up is yourself. You have to believe that you can push through it, that you are more than this setback and that on the other side, there are greater things waiting for you.

I HAVE MADE SO MANY LIFELONG CONNECTIONS AND MEMORIES
WITH MY PEERS.
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, AS WE ALL SEPARATE ONTO DIFFERENT PATHS. DESPITE THAT, I BELIEVE
THAT SOME BONDS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND ANY DISTANCE.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
For me, entering Grade 12 meant the liberty to utilize what I have learned to explore my interests. �e best experience of the year began when I was invited to a “Pitch Your Idea” competition. Working with my friend to bring our visions into an actual business idea was an invaluable experience. We were able to start an app that we believe would be bene�cial for the community, and we continued the idea through the Young Entrepreneurship Leadership Launchpad program.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
My high school is unique. Rather than being stuck in a standard education system like many other high schools, it encourages the students to pursue their interests through project-based learning. It provided me the time and �exibility to develop projects around my interests. I will miss this environment where I could freely learn about what I want without the fear of failure.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I was in one of the �rst groups of students to attend Inquiry Hub. It took time for me
to adapt to the new way of learning. Precious time �ew by that could have been used to further develop myself. If I could go back, I would devote more time into learning about my interests, especially around computer science.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
A�er graduation, I will be entering UBC in the Faculty of Science. My goal is to major in computer science and learn as much as I can. Even a�er I graduate university, I plan to continue my studies through graduate programs to get a PhD. I want to reach a position where researching and learning is part of my job.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Inquiry Hub is a great high school that incorporates both the freedoms of a post-secondary experience and a high school education. But freedom comes with responsibility. Depending on how you use it, it can be either a distraction or a useful companion. Get ahead early and enjoy the freedom to explore your interests and passions.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
CAIMUN 2016: Organizing a hotel Model UN conference for more than 500 delegates in downtown Vancouver was ambitious and challenging. However, working with a close team of other motivated high school students for over a year, and seeing the conference actually materialize over a weekend without any major issues, was de�nitely an unforgettable experience.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I’ll de�nitely miss the friends and relationships I’ve made in high school. It is a trite answer, but I think it’s true nonetheless. Friends can be an amazing resource and support network. Even though we’re all going our own di�erent directions with our post-secondary plans, I really hope to stay in touch with as many people as possible!
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
Fear is inhibiting. In a do-over, I would overcome my fears about experimentation and failure, which prevented me from trying new things I may have enjoyed. Instead, I stuck to safety and tried to minimize risk
when possible. I just wonder what would have happened if I had tried a new sport or joined a di�erent club at times.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
Next year, I plan on concentrating in economics at Harvard University, with a likely secondary in statistics. A�er four years of undergraduate education, though, I’m unsure of what will happen next. At the moment I’m thinking about pursuing either �nance or law, but I’m sure my mind will change over the next four years, and I fully welcome change!
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Embrace every opportunity — but with a plan. As the saying goes, fortune favours the bold, so don’t be afraid of failure in your pursuits. At the same time, fortune also favours the prepared. It always helps to have a plan, and having a concrete plan to achieve your goals can go a long way to your happiness and success!

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
Being honored with the Top Academic Student Grade 12 award was the biggest accolade of my graduation year. �is award represents my perseverance and dedication throughout the year. Being recognized academically is of great honor to me, and receiving this recognition is one of the biggest highlights of my senior year.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
�e relationships that I have built with my peers and teachers will never be forgotten, for these moments of belonging and friendship will be engraved in my memory for the remainder of my life. �e time spent with my peers while being involved around the school will be missed by me long a�er graduation.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
If presented with the opportunity to do it all over again, I would set apart more time to enjoy the special moments in my life and the lives of my friends. �roughout the years, I gave priority to school work, and did not devote nearly enough time to being with the people who are important to me.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
Following graduation, I am going to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering from McGill University. During this time, my focus will be the acquisition of information and skills that will set me up for my future career. I plan on getting involved in university technology clubs while I am studying so I can put my knowledge to use.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Life is about balance. Balance your academics with social interactions, and remember those who make your life worth living. Balance your passion with work, because work may be what you do for a living, but passion is what makes your life worth living. Balance your emotions with rational thought, because some decisions come from the heart, others emerge from reason.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
ELAINE: I went to Cambodia with a class called Global Perspectives to do volunteer work with several local non-pro�ts. I survived in a foreign land riddled with dangers such as unsafe tap water and traveller’s diarrhea without my parents for three entire weeks.
SOLOMON: I participated in the TEDx event at Gleneagle and it was a very inspiring opportunity for me.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
ELAINE: I will miss the freedom to try di�erent courses and activities without worrying about wasting time and money.
SOLOMON: I’m going to miss having the support so many close friends and family nearby, especially since many of my friends are moving away for university.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
ELAINE: High school o�ers so many tech-based courses such as automotive or woodworking that I wish I got a chance to take.
SOLOMON: I would have spent less time worrying about school in general. Most things in school are easier when you have a relaxed attitude.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
ELAINE: I’m an idealist. I want to complete a degree that I’m passionate about and won’t regret.
SOLOMON: I hope that I will be able to �t in some time to travel before I �nish my post-secondary education.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
ELAINE: �is will likely fall on deaf ears but I want students to get enough sleep. You’ll never have this much time again.
SOLOMON: Make sure you set aside time to form relationships and make lots of friends.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
EMMALEE: Being recognized by my peers and voted to represent the HWSS Class of 2016 as one of the valedictorians. We have all grown so much as people in the past four years and I know that we will make our community proud.
DAVID: Winning the valedictorian nomination and celebrating with friends and family will forever be a cherished memory. Being recognized by my peers to represent their classand having their respect is valuable to me and it motivated me to do better.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
EMMALEE: I will miss how high school acts as your �rst test run at “real life.” �e responsibilities you are faced with are greater than ever before. However, the environment is still relaxed and welcoming. I will miss the tight-knit bond of a classroom and how quickly teachers help you if you’re struggling with the material.
DAVID: Being part of a community called high school. A community where teachers and fellow classmates, some with me since elementary, share a bond unlike anywhere else. I realize this environment will not exist in the future, where every person knows one another on a �rst-name basis, sharing a sense of belonging.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
EMMALEE: �e only things I would’ve done di�erently are to not shi� all of my focus towards school, learn how to de-stress and �nd the perfect balance. A bad test grade is not the end of the world and mistakes are what you learn from. You should always strive to prove yourself wrong, and always make yourself proud.
DAVID: I would de�nitely do high school over again without chronic procrastination. Very o�en, I would �nd myself pushing back work until the due date. Consequently, I was under pressure to the last second. Without my procrastination, I picture high school as a di�erent story.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
EMMALEE: I will be going to school in Ontario to study applied sciences and engineering. I truly believe that education is the key to success. Although I don’t know what lies ahead, I’m excited and ready for the challenge and the adventures that life will bring.
DAVID: I plan on moving east to try out this “adult” thing called independence. I hope to �nd myself through this experience and dig deep into my identity. My goal to constantly travel should also help me in discovering my true passions and play an important role in creating world change.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
EMMALEE: Learn to accept the unexpected routes that life will take you on because only you are in charge of your future and no one can take that away from you. You are capable of anything but we are only human and unfortunately we cannot achieve everything. Life is overwhelming and although it won’t get easier, you will get stronger!
DAVID: Don’t let your fears of the what-ifs hold you back, because what if it all goes well? Get out of your comfort zone, it is your greatest limitation. I personally saw great changes when I stepped out to pursue discomfort.
H E R I TA G E W O O D S S E C O N D A R Y
VALEDICTORIANS: EMMALEE AST & DAVID MOON
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
One day, I came home from school and — like a normal day — my hard-working mother was getting ready to leave for work. I casually told her, “Hey, mom, they made me the valedictorian.” And suddenly, her tired eyes �lled with happiness. She ran to me, tears in her eyes and her voice shouting with joy, and she hugged me,, saying, “I’m so proud of you.” All the work that led up to my announcement — assignments, tests, projects — suddenly all became worth it. It is a simple joy, but a great one, to make my mother happy.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
I could say the familiarity: the same classes, 9 to 3, Monday to Friday, every day; the same faces; the same building; the same uniform, etc. However, a�er �ve years of the same, I am ready for change. �ere will de�nitely be things and people I will miss from high school, but nothing outweighs the excitement of entering a new chapter in life — entering university.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I have made good decisions. I have made bad decisions. Everybody makes mistakes — it’s
human nature. However, I do not believe one should dwell in the past. �ere’s no fun living in regret. �ere is no changing the past — that is certain — so I can do nothing but learn from mistakes and keep moving forward.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
I want to know what drives society. I plan to major in economics, earning my bachelor’s from UBC and my master’s from UT. I’m interested in the social sciences because those interactions a�ect people, a business, the country and even the world as a whole. In my opinion, a thorough education in the arts and a degree in economics will be an asset in any career direction, whether it be in business, government or academia.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
Be good. In an environment in which it is cool to do what’s wrong, do what’s right. Surround yourself with good people. Learn from each other. Grow together. Invest time in fostering those friendships which will shape you to become a good person. Life is short and di�cult, so work hard and surround yourself with people who will support you as you work your way through the ups and downs of life.

DANIEL: I am going to miss the community at school. It will be hard to leave the routine behind and all of the memories that I have experienced in such an amazing Christian community. I will miss hanging out with best friends every day.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
LEAH: �ere are many things I would do better if I were given the chance to re-do them but I am generally happy with the decisions made in high school. If anything, I would have put more e�ort into volunteering outside of school.
DANIEL: I would try even harder. �ere were de�nitely times when I could have been more devoted to my studies. I wish I would have tried harder in my younger grades.
WHAT ARE YOUR POST SECONDARY AMBITIONS?
LEAH: I will pursue a BSc in life sciences, which will act as a pathway to medical school. Following that, I will complete a surgery residency to start working full-time. My ultimate goal is to be a trauma surgeon, working in developing countries where people cannot a�ord medical treatment.
DANIEL: To go to BCIT for the Marketing Entrepreneurship course. Following this, I would like to start my own business or company. I want to be in a leadership role in a company overseeing fellow workers. My personal ambition is to have a family and live in North Vancouver.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM FOR NEXT YEAR’S GRADS?
LEAH: I heard this quote, but it went something like this: “�e line between success and failure is thinner than most people think. Falling down and getting back up is just part of the journey.” Failure is only human. Use it as a learning experience and do better the next time.
DANIEL: Know that whatever you do, you realize the consequences of your actions. You must realize just how critical these later years of high school are in determining the course of your future.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR GRADUATION YEAR?
LEAH: �e entire year has gone exceptionally well for me, but one highlight was the Educational Showcase, in which I received �rst class recognition in the Grade 10-12 speech category. I had the opportunity to talk about the future of biotechnology and spread awareness about a few o�-misunderstood prospects.
DANIEL: Hanging out with friends and exceeding in many di�erent areas of my life. A fun highlight was probably being an active leader within my school. �e highlight of my grad year was making puns and jokes every day.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL?
LEAH: �e lack of adult responsibility. In all seriousness, I will miss the willingness of my mentors to help each individual, and the attention given to cultivate each individual’s skills. A small class size has been bene�cial in every area, and getting to know each of my classmates has greatly in�uenced my personal and spiritual growth.

Your kids can cycle with the pros at the inaugural PoCo Grand Prix next month in downtown Port Coquitlam.
Children aged five to 12 are invited to join the kids’ race — for free — happening on the same 1.3-km route being used by professional riders on Friday, July 15 as part of the BC Superweek road cycling series. Young participants will receive a medal for their efforts.

and ages 10 to 12 (two laps).Entrants must provide their
own bike and helmet. To regis-ter, go online at experienceit.ca. (code #15284).
As well, spots are still open for businesses and groups wanting to ride in the PoCo Grand Prix Corporate Challenge.
Teams of four cyclists can compete in the recreational or competitive events, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on the circuit. Registration is $1,000 per team; in return, participants get a hat and socks as well as access to the Mahony & Sons VIP area. Go to experienceit.ca (code
#15532) to register.Meanwhile, the city contin-
ues to seek volunteers for the PoCo Grand Prix.
