Councillor Volkow, on behalf of His
Worship Mayor Derek R. Corrigan proclaimed Wednesday, 2017 March 01 as "Lymphedema
Day" in the City of Burnaby.
Mayor Derek R. Corrigan - Barbara
Catherine Howard Memorium
Mayor Corrigan acknowledged the
recent passing of Barbara Catherine Howard, a long time Burnaby resident and
past inductee of the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame.
Barbara was born in 1920 and was
raised in Vancouver at East 10th Avenue and Nanaimo Street. Her
family’s roots predate the incorporation of the City itself and hers was the
only black family among the other English, Irish, and Scottish families in
the neighbourhood. She recalled that while all the families in the area were
poor, it was a very close-knit community.
Howard’s natural speed first became
evident in Grade 6 at ‘Laura Secord Elementary School’. The principal rang
the school bell in the yard and she could sprint the last block-and-a-half
and be in her desk on time for class. Soon she was school champion. At
‘Britannia High School’, she quickly established herself as one of the
fastest young sprinters in B.C.
In 1938, at the age of seventeen,
Howard ran the 100 yards in a scorching time of 11.2 seconds at the Western
Canada ‘British Empire Games’ trials. The result earned her selection to
represent Canada at the 1938 ‘British Empire Games in Sydney, Australia and
she is believed to be the first black woman athlete to represent Canada in
international competition. Her plans to compete on the Olympic stage in the
1940 Tokyo Olympics and the planned 1944 London Olympics were dashed with the
outbreak of the Second World War.
Since 1956, Barbara lived on Capitol
Hill in North Burnaby overlooking Indian Arm and her cottage on Belcarra Bay.
Barbara graduated from UBC in 1959, studied teaching at the ‘Vancouver Normal
School’, and became the first black teacher hired by the ‘Vancouver School
Board’ where she taught Grades 3 to 8 physical education classes, including
eight years at Strathcona. She worked as a Vancouver school teacher for 43
years until her retirement in 1984.
With the 2010 Vancouver Olympic
Games, the Vancouver Parks and Recreation Department included Howard among a
series of 12 posters of “Remarkable Women” displayed in schools, libraries
and community centres. In 2012, Howard received numerous honours including
induction into both the ‘Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame’ and the ‘BC Sports Hall
of Fame’. In 2013, Barbara Howard also received the ‘Queen Elizabeth II
Diamond Jubilee Medal’.
It was a pleasure to have met
Barbara on many occasions and her example as one of Burnaby’s finest athletes
and citizens will continue to live on in her memory.

Re:
Secondary Suite Utility Fees
Speaker: Michael Hong
|
|
|
Mr. Michael Hong appeared before Council to
request that Council consider amending the Burnaby Waterworks Regulation
Bylaw 1953 and the Burnaby Sewer Charge Bylaw 1931. Mr. Hong is building a
new single family home that will contain a secondary suite. According to the
current bylaw, utility charges for the primary residence and the suite were
initiated by the City when the building permit was issued in December 2016.
The house is currently under construction and although Mr. Hong is accepting
of the standard utility charges, he does not support the utility billing
associated with the secondary suite prior to occupancy.
MOVED BY COUNCILLOR CALENDINO

billing concerns raised by the delegation be REFERRED to staff for
