Rents deemed unaffordable in Vancouver/City to expand supply of ‘family’ units of apartments/condos Canada's largest credit union is warning that young workers who have long since abandoned hope of owning a home in the Vancouver area are now being priced out of the city's rental market. A new report from Vancity explores the tight rental market across Vancouver and the problem it poses for the so-called millennial generation. Vancity vice-president of community investment, William Azaroff, says the report shows only the Marpole and East Hastings neighbourhoods remain affordable for the average worker under 40, earning less than $40,000. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-rental-market-too-pricey-for-young-workers-report-1.2977311 Families looking for housing in Vancouver may soon see a much-needed break if a new housing proposal passes City Council. Vancouver City Council is set to vote on an upcoming proposal that could require new strata housing developments have 35 per cent of their units include two bedrooms or more. The plans hope to increase the supply of family-suitable units across the region through a new housing policy that will require 25 percent of units in multi-family strata rezoning projects to be two-bedrooms and 10 per cent to be three bedrooms or more. http://globalnews.ca/news/2812267/vancouver-plans-to-expand-housing-supply-for-fa Learn more about your ad choices.

Premier Rachel Notley says there can’t be any unnecessary federal delays when it comes approving a new pipeline — any pipeline — to transport Alberta’s oil to international markets. The future of the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal is now in the hands of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government after the Federal Court of Appeal on June 30 quashed a permit issued for the project.

“It is a common belief that aging is inevitable and universal. Nothing could be further from the truth.” That’s the eye-popping claim from the scientists Josh Mitteldorf and Dorion Sagan in their new book, “Cracking the Aging Code: The New Science of Growing Old — And What It Means for Staying Young.” The book argues that humans don’t die because their bodies wear out or from disease, but because they’re programmed to die at a certain time for the good of the overall species. And — let’s face it, this is the part we really care about — there might be a way to un-program death. To do so, scientists must figure out which genes are deployed to kill us.

TOPIC: Sikh veteran who fought and won the right for turbans to be worn in Canadian legions dies 95-year old Lt.-Co. Pritam Singh Jauhal died in Surrey last weekend and will be laid to rest Sunday. Jauhal had fought a public battle in 1993 with the Royal Canadian Legion after he was denied access to the Newton branch because he was wearing his turban, and at the time, the legion barred hats or headgear from entering. Jauhal penned a 2013 memoir with the forward written by now Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. Andy Baryer from Get Connected is working on a documentary about Jauhal and even took the veteran back to the Newton branch he was once barred from entering on Remembrance Day 2015. Baryer will speak at his service Sunday afternoon at 2 pm at Valley View Funeral. GUEST: Andy Baryer - Co-host/Producer Get Connected Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TOPIC: Massey Bridge replacement and its environmental impact to the waters around it Metro Vancouver says they are unable to support the scope and size of the Massey Tunnel replacement plan. Chair Greg Moore says they are opposed because of a lack of consultation and that it doesn’t fit regional planning. Metro Vancouver oversees the Greater Vancouver regional district. Moore also noted the negative impact on farmland and ecological areas. Naturalist Barrie Alden says it would be an environmental catastrophe if the Massey replacement bridge was built; he says it’s precious habitat and transportation ground for sturgeon that are currently endangered. The river would need to be dredged in various areas to make it navigable for tankers, he says they would have to remove about about 40-50 feet of the riverbed.

TOPIC: Northern Gateway approval overturned in court The Federal Court of Appeal says the Canadian government failed in its duty to consult with aboriginal people before giving the green light to a controversial pipeline proposal to link Alberta's oilsands to British Columbia's north coast. The court has quashed federal approval for Enbridge's $7.9-billion Northern Gateway project in a written decision dated June 23 but released Thursday by JFK Law, which represents a First Nation involved in the appeal. The judgment says the government neglected to discuss subjects of critical importance to First Nations by ignoring many of the project's impacts and offering only a ``brief, hurried and inadequate'' opportunity for consultation. The pipeline proposal received federal approval in 2014 but has been mired in legal uncertainty ever since. Eight First Nations, four environmental groups and one labour union launched the legal challenge, which was heard by the appeal court in October. Northern Gateway would involve the construction of more than a thousand kilometres of pipeline from northeast of Edmonton to Kitimat, B.C., for shipping to international markets.
