Frosty the Snowman may havemet a sad fate in a greenhousefilled with Christmas poinset-tias, but the citys greenhouse is ahappy place to be at this time ofyear.

City staff has been carefullytending to hundreds of poinset-tias that will soon be providing afestive feel to city facilities.

The poinsettias are gorgeous,said Claude LeDoux, the citysmanager of horticulture services.We buy cuttings. We grow theminto a full size plant.

In the coming days, about 700poinsettias will be shipped tolocations around the city, includ-ing Century House.

There is red, pink and white.We use them for our displaysthroughout the city, LeDouxsaid. It is refreshing to seethem.

The poinsettias arent the onlyplants currently found in thecitys greenhouses in QueensPark, as staff are already hardat work getting plants ready fornext springs hanging baskets andgardens.

Grant process too onerous for city groupsA program thats supposed to help

local organizations proved to be a bigheadache.

New Westminster city council hasexpressed concern about the new require-ments for organizations seeking 2014grants from the city. The city currentlyoffers amateur sports, childcare, environ-mental, city partnership, arts and cultural,community and heritage grants.

Coun. Betty McIntosh said some grantapplicants were distressed with this

years process, as some grants required15 pages of paperwork to be competed.She noted that many organizations rely onvolunteers, who dont have the capacityto sit and spend a weekend completing agrant application.

We discouraged people this year fromeven applying. That is not our intent,she said. We need to simplify our proce-dures.

One of the grant applicants said thetime required to properly complete a 15-page document for a possible $1,000 washard to justify.

Gary Holowatiuk, the citys director of

finance and information technology, saidstaff understand there are concerns withthis years grant application forms andwill be addressing those concerns in timefor the 2015 grant process.

This has to be simplified, said MayorWayne Wright. We have had many, manycalls from people who could not under-stand it.

Coun. Bill Harper wants the city to takesteps to ensure the complex requirementsof this years grant process didnt deterany previous applicants from applying.

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said the require-ments created an impediment to small

organizations that rely on small grants.He said the goal of the grant program is tohelp organizations, not put up obstacles.

I have a very serious problem withwhat happened here, he said.

DeanGibson, the citys director of parks,culture and recreation, said the expandedapplications caused a lot of discussion anddebate in the community. There weremixed reviews, he said.

Despite the concerns, Gibson noted thatthe city received more applications than inprior years.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said theres a

Lookingback: EvelynSangsterBensonsnew bookis beinglaunchedthis Satur-day, Nov. 30,from 2 to 4p.m. at NewWestmin-ster PublicLibraryAuditorium.The book, ACentury in aSmall Town:One FamilysStories,chroniclesher pioneerbroodsstory of lifein the RoyalCity from1895 to 1993.

Capturing the good old daysHow long has it been since weve seena garter snake, writer Evelyn SangsterBenson asks in her recently publishedbook on days past in New Westminster.

In a story called Encroaching Urbanization about how the development of the city hasdiminished once-plentiful bushlands and

wildlife in the city Bensonrecalls an amusing storyabout the slippery species.

These harmless snakeswere so plentiful in the1940s that Buddy Greenallfrom Fifth Street collected awhole bagful of the slitherycreatures and let them loosein the hallway at Spencerschool one warm spring

day, Benson writes. You never heard suchscreaming.

Bensons book, A Century in a Small Town:One Familys Stories, chronicles her pioneerbroods story of life in the Royal City from1895 to 1993. At the centre of the work a col-lection of tales that were shared orally throughthe generations is the city that Benson hascalled home her entire life.

Im 80 years old, so Ive lived a long time,Benson laughs, explaining why she finallywrote down the stories shes told for years.I grew up in a family that talked. You know,some people dont talk. We talked a lot.

Benson worked as a substitute teacher atNew Westminster Secondary School for 27years, and she often had classes where the

teacher had neglected to leave anything forher to do with the students.

So I would often talk to the kids. Theyreteenagers, and youve got to keep them busyfor 45 minutes, so Id just start talking, and Idsay to them, Well, how do you like going toa school thats right on top of a graveyard?Well, the eyes opened up and I got theirattention, she recalls, chuckling.

The old cemetery is covered in the bookunder the piece titled Little Devils in theGraveyard. Benson writes about how her father,Lewie Sangster (who grew up to be mayor ofthe city) and her uncle George Sangster, usedto tell young Evelyn about the Chinese cem-etery.

Kids in those days made their own fun,and most parents were blissfully unaware ofwhat their children were up to. When wordwent out on the kids grapevine that a Chinesefuneral was imminent, young boys from allover town headed to Chinatown at the foot ofRoyal Avenue to enjoy the spectacle and fol-low the procession, she writes.

There would be a colourful funeral proces-sion with musicians leading the way up thehill amid exploding strings of firecrackersintended to frighten away evil spirits.

Once the burial ceremony was over, themounded grave was heaped with cherishedpossessions of the deceased and a feast toappease the spirits bowls of rice and veg-etables, and sometimes even a small roastedpig, Benson writes, adding that her dad andhis friends would hide out at a safe distance

until the mourners departed and then gatherat the graveside to devour the feast, hence thelittle devils title.

Im sure my grandfather, AlexanderSangster, a deacon at the Baptist Church,would have taken a dim view of such disre-spect for the dead and marched the boys to thewoodshed, if he had known, she writes.

There are countless accounts of life throughthe years of the Sangster/Appleton/Bensonclans. One funny anecdote is the story of atime when young Lewie, his brothers andpals bumped into infamous train robber BillyMiner in 1907. The boys were skinny-dippingin a creek near the old penitentiary ravine.Two men came climbing down the hill fromthe penitentiary, Benson says. The boys real-ized it was Billy Miner because every kid intown had seen him arrive by train in the city.

They all went down to the train stationto see the great Billy Miner in handcuffs, youknow. And he said to the boys, Now boys,you havent seen me, have you? And theysaid, No, sir, (she mimics their nervous tone)and off he went with (Albert) McCluskey,Benson tells The Record. And a little whilelater the gong started going at the peniten-tiary, and the boys said, Oh my God, its a jailbreak, and they knew right away. And theygot into their clothes and they ran like heckand went home so that nobody would ques-tion them.

Benson, whose husband, Don Benson,

Its beginning to look a lot likeChristmas.

Operation Red Nose officially kicks offthis weekend, and organizers are remind-ing people to plan for a safe ride home thisholiday season.

We allow people to have a reallygood time at Christmas so they can relaxand not worry about driving and let us takecare of it. We add to the Christmas cheer,said Chris Wilson of KidSport and organiz-er of Operation Red Nose in Burnaby, NewWestminster and the Tri-Cities.

On Dec. 13, officers and volunteers fromthe New Westminster Police Departmentwill be out on the roads picking up peo-ple for Operation Red Nose, and on Dec.14 Burnaby RCMP will take over. Havingorganizations like police departments is oneway of getting the community involved,Wilson said.

Theres lots of opportunities for organi-zations and companies or different groupsto participate, he added.

Often volunteer drivers and navigatorsare regular folks from the community sim-ply looking to lend a hand during the holi-day season.

While theNewWestminsterandBurnabyoperation is still looking for volunteers,Wilson said they often get a variety of appli-cants, from students to senior citizens.

Theyre from all walks of life really, headded.

Volunteers are organized into groups

of three and sent out to pick people upwhen volunteers back at the base alert geta call. Volunteer drivers are required touse their own vehicle and must complete apolice background check (the fee is waivedby police departments when applying forOperation Red Nose).

Operation Red Nose has been providingpeople safe rides home in British Columbiafor nearly two decades, and on Nov. 29 the2013 campaign gets underway for the sec-ond year in NewWestminster and Burnaby.Last year the local operation,which includesCoquitlam, gave 864 safe rides to residents.

Not all those people were super intoxi-cated, but I really, honestly believe, in those864 rides we gave, we prevented collisions,(and) we might have saved a few lives,Wilson said.

Had too much to drink? Feeling sleepy?People living in New Westminster cancall 778-866-6673 or 1-877-604-NOSE forrides between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. and threeOperation Red Nose volunteers will comepick you up. Two volunteers, a navigatorand a driver, will drive you home in yourown vehicle as a third follows in an escortvehicle to pick the volunteers up.

While all the rides are free thanks to vol-unteer drivers, Operation Red Nose collectsdonations, which are donated to local non-profit youth organizations such as KidSportNewWestminster.

Interested in becoming a volunteer driv-er? Pick up an application form at the NewWestminster police station at 555 ColumbiaSt. or visit operationnezrouge.com/en/region/new-westminster for more.

The Liberals may be celebrating poll-ing success in the four byelections heldMonday, but so many disparate factorswere at play that its too soon to anointJustin Trudeau as the partyssaviour.

Most importantly, byelec-tions are notoriously poorpredictors of what voters willactually do when it comesdown to determining who will run theentire country.

While the Liberals increased their

vote share dramatically in the twoManitoba byelections, some of the Toryvoters clearly stayed home.

Whether that was because of candi-date selection, the Senate scan-dal or a homophobic gaffe, itsnot likely to happen in 2015.

The Tories identify andmobilize their supporterson election day better than

any other party, and thats not likely tochange much.

Nor will their level of support.

The same 37 per cent to 39 per centof voters who saw Stphane Dion asa green nerd were equally sure thatMichael Ignatieff didnt come back forthem.

If they dont believe Justin Trudeauis a privileged pot-smoking dilettantewith no economic policy now, they willby 2015.

What will determine whether theConservatives will form a government ishow the Liberals and the NDP carve upthe rest of the vote.

The NDP may have had its votehalved and more in Manitoba onMonday, but in Toronto Centre it actual-ly increased its share of the vote to ahistoric high of 36 per cent.

So while Trudeau and his partywill be pleased the Conservative votedropped in Toronto from 23 per cent in2011 to nine per cent, they know theymust worry about beating the NDPdecisively before they can beat theConservatives.

Only time will tell.

We need morewomen in politicsIn order for our political bod-ies to effectively representthe interests of its citizens,our governments need to repre-sent the people that they serve.Women make up only 36 percent of the B.C. legislature andonly 25 per cent of CanadianParliament. Numbers are gener-ally even lower at municipallevels. We rank behind countriessuch as Iraq, Afghanistan andRwanda in the repre-sentation of women inour political bodies.

One factor in creat-ing equality in politicsis to increase womenspolitical knowledge, networks,skills and confidence. Regardlessof political affiliation, women areunder-represented on all levelsof public service, and we arechanging that.

Canadian Women VotersCongress is creating impactthrough programs such asour non-partisan WomensCampaign School on Nov. 29and 30. The school helps trainwomen to run for office, man-age political campaigns or seekother leadership positions withincommunity. It is an opportunityfor women to connect with thepolitical process and for personaland professional growth.

Since 1999, the WomensCampaign School has broughttogether veteran elected officialsfrom all parties to share practicalskills and first-hand experiencesworking in our political system.We are proud to count amongstour alumni and faculty cam-

paign managers, city councill-lors, school board trustees, may-ors, MLAs and MPs. Jane Shin,MLA for Burnaby-Lougheed,joined us as a participant lastyear. This year we are excited tocount Kate Van Meer-Mass, whoworks in Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigans office and who man-aged MLADavid Ebys success-ful May election campaign, asone of our instructors.

The reasons morewomen do not getinvolved in politicsin greater numbersare as varied as thewomen themselves.

One that we hear repeatedly isthat women wait for the righttime or when they feel bestprepared they agonize overthe decision in ways men dont.Women often hold politicians toa higher standard and feel over-whelmed with the idea of livingup to that standard. Womenhave been shown to have lesspolitical knowledge than men.Women are more likely to havemore demands on their time thatdont align with a life in politics.Women are also more likely toget involved in politics becausesomeone else already involvedasks them to be.

While there are other forceswithin political parties, govern-ment bodies, and media thatinfluence womens successin politics, Canadian WomenVoters Congress and WomensCampaign School focus on edu-cating and empowering

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Questions about strata feesDear Editor:

Re: Mayors million-dollar condo for sale, TheRecord online, Nov. 20.

Ms. Hopes piece highlights the features ofMayorWayne Wrights stunning,opulent $1,099,000condo but did not reveal a dirty little secret.

The evidence suggests that Mayor Wrightscondo, like approximately 20 per cent of others inthe Tiffany Shores community, have been expandedwithout the extra habitable area being factored intounit entitlement figures used in calculating monthlystrata fees assessed to all owners. For instance, Ms.Hope writes that the mayors suite is 2,100 squarefeet in area, yet the official unit entitlement is 147square metres, or 1,582 square feet (rounded). Usingthese figures, strata fees for the Mayors suite arebeing assessed on about 75 per cent of the actual

habitable area.The result of these irregularities: The almost

80 per cent of owners without expanded suitesare highly subsidizing strata management/mainte-nance costs for the enlarged suites, like the one Ms.Hope wrote belongs to Mayor Wright.

Is the mayor responsible for the irregularities andinequity issue? No. Should the mayor have knownabout the issue? Probably, yes. The information isavailable to all owners. Does the mayor and/orother owners of the suite benefit financially from theirregularities and resulting inequities? The evidencesuggests, yes.

Planning for a Supreme Court lawsuit is current-ly underway should the irregularities and inequitiesfor all suites at Tiffany Shores not be voluntarily cor-rected in the near future. The outcome could serveas precedent for other condo owners.

No trust in risk assessmentDear Editor:

No harm from coal facility? Its no won-der our residents are skeptical.

Fraser Surrey Docks surely knew whothey were hiring to run this environmentalrisk assessment. Record readers shouldbe informed that SNC-Lavalin is world-renowned as one of the most corruptcompanies on the planet. A SeptemberFinancial Post headline reads: Canadanow dominates World Bank corruptionlist, thanks to SNC-Lavalin. Anyone canGoogle the details. This is not a com-pany to be trusted with our health andwell-being. In the comic books, this is thetype of organization Batman or Supermanwould be fighting against.

Looks like we are going to have to goback to using common sense. Obviouslycoal transport does put us and our environ-ment at risk. But, whats even more risky

is trusting the kind of people who say, Norisks here all the way to the bank.

I hope everyone will join me in callingFraser Surrey Docks to make our outrageknown.

ONLINE COMMENTS

THE RECORD STORY: New Westminster continues planning pedes-trian crossing Nov. 26Facebook I Dave Lundy: Has there been a huge screaming outcry for this? Or is thisjust another one of staffs fanciful projects? How about rebuilding or expanding theQueensborough Bridge to reect the growth in Queensborough of residential, retailand commercial development. Include a decent pedestrian walkway on each sideof the bridge as well. Even better look at revamping the rail crossing, by addinga walkway on either side of the rail bridge, fenced in to prevent access to the rail.Could have been lots of money for this project had they council not decided to goahead with the white elephant ofce tower at 8th and Columbia after UPG pulledout. But hey, its not their money after all. What do they care?

is New Westminsters poet laureateemeritus, calls the stories snapshots intoreal life over a period of 100 years. Thebook will appeal to local residents whowant to know about the citys rich history,those who generally love to marvel and/or reminisce about days past and to thosewho love a funny tale.

For Benson, the tradition of oralstorytelling through the generations isprecious, and its something she fears isbeing lost.

Our families are so fractured nowa-days. So many families, they are lucky iftheyve got two parents and most eitherdont have any grandparents or theirgrandparents are living in Miami or FortSaint John or something, and they dontget to see them. They dont get to hear theold stories, you see.

Hear Benson tell her stories at her booklaunch on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 2 to 4p.m. at New Westminster Public Libraryor buy the book at Renaissance Books, 43Sixth St.

difference between a group that seeks a$500 grant annually to blow up anvilsonce a year and a new applicant thatsoffering something that hasntbeen done before.

He said the city needs to havea common-sense approach thattakes into account that someestablished organizations havebeen providing services for yearsand may not need to providepages and pages of backgroundinformation.

Council directed staff to takessteps to ensure no previous grantapplicants refrained from apply-ing to the city for 2014 grantsbecause of the complexity of theapplication forms. The city also directedstaff to consider creating a new category ofgrants that would deal with applicationsfor festival funding.

A staff report to council recommendedreallocating money from some grants intoother programs. The report noted the bud-

get amount is the same as the previousyear, but the allocation between grant pro-grams has been adjusted to better reflectthe category in which those grants should

be directed.Holowatiuk said the reports

recommendations also reflect thefact that Fraserside CommunityServices Society and the NewWestminster Chamber ofCommerce applied for grantsin previous years, but are nowapplying for fees for servicesoffered. Staff believe those mat-ters are more appropriately han-dled through departmental oper-ating budgets.

Harper believes festivalsshould be a completely separate

grant category, as it would help councilwhen deliberating grant allocations.

He noted the city still has some workto do on the issue of festivals, suchas dealing with in-kind versus monetarydonations requested by local festival orga-nizers.

A 26-storey highrise with commercialspace and rental units is being proposed inthe downtown.

GBL Architects has applied for a rezon-ing and special development permit fora mixed-used commercial and residentialproject at the corner of Sixth andCarnarvonstreets. The building would include com-mercial at grade on Sixth Street, 282 rentalunits and ground-oriented units alongCarnarvon and Victoria streets.

The project is now going through thereview process. Once reviewed by theadvisory planning commission and thecitys design panel, staff will report backto council.

Banners for BelliesSpiffy new banners will adorn Queens

ParkArena in timefor theNewWestminsterSalmonbellies 125th anniversary season.

The New Westminster SeniorSalmonbellies Lacrosse Club will be cel-ebrating its 125th year in 2014 and wantsto leave a legacy for the city and lacrossefans by replacing the aging, mismatchedMann Cup banners now hanging from therafters in Queens Park Arena. The team ishoping to replace 24 banners that honourteams and decades from the Salmonbelliesstoried history.

I think its a really good project, onethe city can really support, said Coun.Bill Harper.

Council approved $3,500 for the ban-ners, which will be installed by arena staffin the spring in time for the anniversary.

Industrial expansionAn industrial building in the Braid

industrial area is being adapted andexpanded to provide additional storage.

Council has approved a developmentpermit for 455 Brunette Ave., where anexisting building will get a 306-square-metre (3,300-square-foot) addition for useas a mini-storage warehouse.

Canadian Mini-Warehouse Properties,which owns the lot to the north of this site,purchased this site with the hope of con-verting it to a mini-storage building andincorporating it into its existing business.

Bylaws get a revampNew Westminster is aiming to modern-

ize its waterworks regulations so theyreeasier to understand.

The citys bylawwas drafted in 1942 andhas been amended many times throughthe years, said a staff report.

The current bylaw is considered out-dated and needs to be consolidated andreformatted in order to provide betterclarity and consistency with other bylawsand legislation, stated the report. Theproposed bylaw will update terminologyand language, enhance clarity and mod-ernize the citys regulatory and adminis-trative provisions of the water distributionsystem.

A staff report noted that NewWestminsters water distribution systemincludes about 205 kilometres of watermains, 2,100 valves, 9,000 service connec-tions, 712 fire hydrants, 14 pressure-reduc-ing valves and 1,100 water meters.

ON THE TOWNChoral concerts celebrate Christmas P12Massey Theatre abuzz with happenings P18

A gala at Massey Theatre tonight will help sendCanadas best young dancers to Europe.

The Gala for Gold fundraiser is tonight (Friday, Nov.29) at 7 p.m., and it includes dance performances alongwith silent and live auctions.

Team Canada dancers are off to the International DanceOrganizations world championships in December.

In their ranks will be six dancers from Douglas BalletAcademy. Erin Carpentier and Jaydene Searle are off tothe world tap championships, Dec. 1 to 8 in Germany.Caroline Kiddie, Emily Wismer, Jenny Lian and MorganBringeland-Powell are heading to Poland for the ballet,jazz and modern worlds Dec. 7 to 15.

The Team Canada dancers were cho-sen after a rigorous audition process thatbrought together the best dancers fromacross the country. A press release notesthat Canadian dancers are known to besome of the best in the world, with several

world titles to the countrys credit.This years team is headed by choreographers Danielle

Gardner, of So You Think You Can Dance Canada, and JoshuaBeamish of Move: The Company.

They have high hopes of making it to the podium andmaking Canada proud, the release says.

But getting the dancers to Europe isnt easy.Dance is not recognized in Canada as a sporting event,

even though many of these dancers train up to seven daysper week, they are as flexible as any gymnast, as gracefulas figure skaters and as dedicated as any Olympic ath-lete, the release notes.

That means the dancers must cover their own costs,which amount to about $4,000 per dancer. Theyve beenfundraising since the summer to raise the money.

Gala For Gold tickets are $21.95. Buy through www.masseytheatre.com or call 604-521-5050.

For more on the local dancers journey to the ballet,jazz and modern worlds, check out their website at www.fourdancersonedream.com. You can also find out more atwww.facebook.com/TeamCanadaWestDance.

It all began simply enough in the late 1980s,when Lori Pappajohn and Alan Woodlandstarted annual Christmas concerts featuringharp and readings at the New WestminsterPublic Library.

Now, Winter Harp is one of WesternCanadas most beloved holiday traditions,and its celebrating its 20th anniversary thisseason. The acclaimed ensemble is offeringa concert this Sunday, Dec. 1 at the MasseyTheatre with the Vancouver Welsh MensChoir.

New Westminster really gave us ourstart, said Pappajohn, the ensembles direc-tor and a Royal City resident, in a press

release. She recalled the days of workingwith Woodland who was the citys chieflibrarian at the time to put on their concertsin the library.

We had no budget when we started, butwe could use the libraryscommunity room for free,so that helped, she remem-bered. And I also per-formed at Irving House forits Christmas celebrations.

Each year the audiencegrew, and the two renamed their showWinterHarp and moved it to Vancouver. Out of thatgrew the Winter Harp ensemble, which com-bines harps and percussion with rare medi-eval instruments, flutes, poetry and song.

In 2006, it first teamed up with the

Movies and TV havegiven people the ideathat puppies andki&ens make heart-warming holidaygi"s for kids, spousesand other signi#cantothers. But the reality

is more o"en heart-wrenching for mostof these living, breathing gi"s, not tomen!on the families who end up giving upthe pets once they grow and require more!me, a&en!on, training and expenses thanthe families can give.Pets should never be an impulse

purchase. Many people do not have the!me, energy or money to care for a dogover the long term. A new owner may enjoythe animal for a few weeks, but then resentthe gi" once the novelty wears o%. Also,

discourage parents from giving pups andki&ens to their children as gi"s. Childrenget bored with gi"s, and its heartbreakingwhen families grow !red of the growingdog. Pups between the ages of 7 to 14months o"en wind up at shelters or at thevet for euthanasia, because the ownersdid not train them, resul!ng in behaviorproblems. Even worse, some owners dumpunwanted pets on the road or in the woods,where they cannot survive on their own.Sta!s!cs indicate most puppies and ki&ensnever reach their second birthdays.Instead, give books on pet selec!on,

training, care, health and diet, andindividual breeds. Videos and subscrip!onsto pet magazines and newsle&ers are alsogood choices.

Harra is a big and beau!fuldiva who couldnt cope withthe shelter environment soshe quit ea!ng and nearlydied. In a foster home she wascoaxed back to health but she

has retained her diva personality and #nicky ea!nghabits. She is friendly when she feels like it, butdont bother trying to make a lap cat out of this one!Shed prefer to be a one and only cat, and no dogs orchildren need apply!

Laina* came to RCHS as a threeyear-old pregnant, homelessand very fearful. She has had aquiet loving foster home whereshe was allowed to be the gentleintrovert that she is. She enjoys

being with other cats and and spending !me outdoorsduring the day provided the catdoor is near. She needsa quiet home with adults no children or dogs for thissensi!ve, shy feline princess.

Cash* was trapped as an olderki&en and named a"er JohnnyCash for his sleek black hair,but public performances arentthis introverts forte. This shy-guy would be lost without the

company of at least one other cat but hes not thesort who could adapt to a busy household or smallchildren. One on one, he can be very loving, so ifyou are a so" spoken, gentle person with a lot ofpa!ence, he might just be the perfect #t.

Francine* is very sweet, !midcat. She was rescued from anindustrial yard and has madegreat progress overcomingsome of her fears since shecame to us. Francine has been

at the shelter a long !me and may take quite a whileto adjust to a new home. But with enough love andpa!ence, she may be able to adjust. Best for a quiethome.

Des!ny* is eager to have herown home, preferably as anonly cat, so her deeply lovingand a%ec!onate side canthrive. It is not the des!nyof this beau!ful young gal to

live with other cats in a shelter. While being verya%ec!onate Des!ny is moody and independent.Shelter life is stressful for a sensi!ve cat like her andwe believe that whoever gives her a chance will berewarded many !mes over.

Tia* came to us in October 2006along with her son, Li&le Beau.They were adopted togetherfrom Petcetera but it turns outit wasnt a good home for Tiabecause she seems to have

been very stressed there. Tia needs a peaceful homewith adults or older kids and no dogs.

Pippin (le") was found with Piper. She is quiet, soulful and likes tosit and observe. Loves messages and being brushed! Very playfuland more outgoing with a cat companion. Her favourite pas!me iswatching the birds. Blue-eyed beauty, Piper (right), at six monthsold, was living outside with Pippin. He will be !mid at #rst but verya%ec!onate when he discovers that he can trust you. Piper needs a

companion cat. He talks to his toys and carries them around in his mouth. He requires some canned food forthe water content to keep his plumbing system in good order. His favorite treat is unsalted popcorn. Thesetwo are inseparable and will only be adopted together. Indoor only home.

FOSTERS NEEDED: Are you an experienced catperson, looking for a challenge? Several cats (thosemarked with * a#er their names) have been atthe shelter for a number of years. Either becausethey are very "mid or have other issues, these catsare overlooked by poten"al adopters. If you feelyou are equipped to handle a special needs ki%y,wed love to hear from you. They will require a lotof pa"ence, however, we are con$dent that withenough love even these li%le ones can becomefunc"oning and happy members of society.

Felix has languished for nearlythree years in our shelter,wai!ng for that special human.This senior cat has so much too%er the right person hesvery con#dent socially and

loving once he gets to know you. All he asks for is apeaceful indoor home. Hes learned to tolerate thecompany of young cats, but he would be purrrfectlycontent to be the centre of the universe for hishuman family.

Trixie (le") is 1-1/2 years old and s!ll a puppy at heart! She needs anunderstanding home with love, exercise, and leadership. This supersmart dog should do well with someone who has experience with dogbehavior and posi!ve training methods. She is anxious about being le"home alone, so someone who either works from home or has a $exibleschedule would be great. Prefer adult home with no cats.

Dawson (right) was brought to the shelter as a stray last September. Hes about 2 years old and is a bitunderweight so he need to gain a few pounds. Dawson has good manners with other small dogs, but doesnt doso well with larger dogs. For informa"on on both these dogs, contact the NewWestminster Animal Shelter:604 519 2008.
