Increasingly in our neighbourhoods there are problem properties where persistent, unlawful and dangerous activities threaten neighbourhood safety and security.

These properties may be derelict, or the site of criminal and nuisance activities such as drug production and trafficking, prostitution, unlawful liquor sales, child abuse, unlawful weapons or explosives, and activities conducted by gangs and organized crime.

Now, new provincial legislation introduced on February 21, 2013 promises to target and shut down these properties which:

adversely affect the health, safety or security of one or more persons in the community or neighbourhood
interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of one or more of the properties in the community or neighbourhood.

The Community Safety Act, if passed, will enable residents who are adversely affected to submit complaints to a new community safety unit.

Community Safety Unit

This unit, staffed with a director of community safety, will have the authority to investigate and mediate complaints and work with the owners of problem properties to resolve complaints.

The legislation targets properties where the occupants may frequently change, but the problem activities persist, and the property owners fail to take effective action to stop them.

If problems continue, a community safety order may be granted, which could potentially bar named individuals from the property or end occupancy for up to 90 days.

Fines

If problems persist, the director of community safety has the authority to levy fines for:

Individuals – a fine of up to $10,000 and six months in prison for a first offence, and up to $25,000 and one year in prison for subsequent convictions.

Corporations – a fine of up to $25 000, and a fine of up to $100,000 for subsequent convictions.

The new legislation would provide local governments with an additional tool to respond directly to residents’ concerns about safe communities.

Similar legislation is in force in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Yukon.

“This legislation is about giving residents a simple, timely, safe way to report properties of concern and help make their streets safer,” said the Hon. Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

“We still want residents to report criminal activity to the police. But sometimes, even when police make arrests, problems continue at a specific address. This proposed legislation will fill a gap, enhancing public safety by forcing landlords to deal with chronic, illegal and dangerous behaviour on their properties,” explained Minister Bond.

The proposed Community Safety Act is available at: www.leg.bc.ca/39th5th/votes/progress-of-bills.htm

Through the cracks of my stupidity ,

I saw light,

I found wisdom,

I zen my conscience,

A deep freeze of chi.

Powered to be free again,

Am I lost again in my own forest?

Ceroc Around The Clock - Kits Showboat Danceathon Fundraiser

"Ceroc Around The Clock” is a 12-hour dance event involving dance groups and performers that usually perform at the Kitsilano Showboat, in addition to local dance teachers. Dancers will raise money by collecting pledges for participating, or for the amount of hours they dance, or they can pay an entry fee to the event. Dance workshops by different dance teachers will be held in the afternoon, followed by a dance party in the evening, kicked off by a fun Ceroc lesson. The event is all-ages and Ceroc Vancouver is aiming to raise $5000.

In late 2012, a King Tide, in combination with high winds, caused major damage to the Kitsilano Showboat stage and facilities located at the Kitsilano outdoor pool. As a non-profit, self-supporting, volunteer organization, the Kitsilano Showboat Society needs to raise significant funds to make the necessary repairs before the 2013 season can get underway – their 78th year providing free entertainment to Vancouver.

In late 2012, a King Tide, in combination with high winds, caused major damage to the Kitsilano Showboat stage and facilities located at the Kitsilano outdoor pool. The water breached the pool wall, surrounded the stage and flooded all the dressing rooms, storage rooms, bathrooms, sound room and parts of the stage. The water was 18 inches deep backstage and everything was covered in debris and seaweed. As a non-profit, self-supporting, volunteer organization, the Kitsilano Showboat Society needs to raise significant funds to make the necessary repairs before the 2013 season can get underway – their 78th year providing free entertainment to Vancouver.

Selling or buying a home is a huge undertaking involving hundreds of different

steps. Some people go it alone. They see the wealth of real estate resources
available online and decide to do it themselves. It's true that there's ample
information available, but there are so many tangible and intangible elements to
the process that mere information can't cover it all. Selling or buying a home
is a financial and emotional minefield. A Realtor is a local real estate expert
with the training, experience, and proprietary market information to guide you
through it. Realtors...

Know what to do next -- they've been through the whole process of selling
and buying a home many times
Open up possibilities you might not think of -- different neighbourhoods,
different types of housing, alternatives that suit your needs and budget
Ease the intense stress of selling or buying a home by offering perspective
and expertise
Steer you away from costly mistakes by identifying risks
Educate you about the current conditions of the local market -- right down
to block level
Get you the best deal possible by negotiating from experience, not
emotion

The music of the great Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti provides the starting point for this exciting new collaboration between contemporary choreographer Martha Carter and the innovative Microcosmos String Quartet. Performed by dancers Hayden Fong, Delphine Leroux, Nic Lydiate, Thoenn Glover and Heather Laura Gray and musicians Marc Destrubé, Andrea Siradze, Tawnya Popoff, and Peggy Lee, the piece seeks to create a dialogue of movement, sound and rhythm that vibrates with contrasts, and expresses the raw energy and deep emotion of Ligeti’s music, which will be played live.
