A new pollinator garden is building buzz in Metro Vancouver | Urbanized - Daily Hive

FortisBC in Metro Vancouver last month. FortisBC staff looking at newly planted pollinator garden/FortisBC Located at the foot of Burnaby Mountain trail on the greenspace near the intersection of Broadway and Underhill Avenue, the new garden was designed to attract and support local pollinators. According to Elle, the best time to visit the new garden will be next spring/summer when many of its plants flower. Metro Vancouver’s new pollinator garden is made up of nine different species of plants chosen specifically because pollinators are wild about them. This includes 15 vine maples and hundreds of flowering shrubs and bushes. We’re talking about red elderberry, mock orange, snowberry, thimbleberry, vine maples, Saskatoon serviceberries, yarrow, Nootka rose, and Oregon grape — all of the things a buzzing bee population might need. “This is about so much more than the honeybee. It’s about amazing biodiversity. By planting a diversity of plants, you’re going to support more of that diversity of pollinators, more of those 450 species of bees,” explains Elle. “I would like to see more organizations consider creating pollinator gardens like this when they are completing restoration work – it can really make a big difference.” Elle notes that the plants FortisBC has chosen will provide amazing habitats for pollinators, as well as the food that they need to survive and raise their offspring. “It’s really important for the functioning ecosystem and to protect the pollinators that produce the food that we eat, that the bears eat, and that the birds eat.” Hoping to do your bit to support local wild bee populations at home? You could start by planting pollinator plants like fleabane, spider flowers, foxgloves, artichokes, hollyhocks, and sunflowers. Professor Elizabeth Elle at the newly planned pollinator garden on Burnaby Mountain/FortisBC FortisBC funded the garden as a way to say thanks to the community for its patience during construction on its gas line upgrades in the area.

Hundreds attend Vancouver funeral for slain Hells Angel Bob Green

Langley road Oct. 26, while Hells Angel prospect Mohammed Rafiq, 43, was wounded in a targeted shooting in Burnaby the same day.Green, 56, was a giant in the Hells Angels — influential, powerful and charismatic.He started off as an East End Hells Angel more than 20 years ago, before joining the elite Nomads chapter when it formed and then more recently moving the Mission chapter.He lived in North Burnaby, was married and was the father of six children.Police who dealt with him said he was generally pleasant and easygoing, unless he was drinking.“He was always out on the town and maintained a very high profile. And for the most part, he was friendly to deal with, unless he got pissed,” a retired biker cop said.Before the funeral began on Saturday, bouquets of flowers and wreaths were arriving at the hall from around the world.Photos of Green over the years were put up on display. Bikers had spent the morning decorating the hall.Yellow caution tape was put up along Fraser Street so that the procession of Harley riders would have somewhere to park once they arrived.The procession or “ride” in his honour began hours before the service, with bikers meeting up at the Coquitlam clubhouse owned by the Vancouver chapter, before heading to the East End chapter and on to the banquet hall.Junior members of the Hells Angels and Jesters — known as prospects — were in charge of parking and security outside the hall.Mourners were told when they arrived to turn their cellphones off and to not record the speeches out of respect for the family and the Hells Angels.It was all over by 4 p.m., with some mourners headed off to a Hells Angels clubhouse for an after party.Vancouver Police Staff Sgt. Randy Fincham said that there was “nothing of note at the funeral.”He said before the event that police were monitoring to ensure public safety.“As the Hells Angels are a criminal organization, the VPD has plans in place to reduce the risk to the public. Public safety remains our primary concern,” Fincham said.kbolan@postmedia.comblog: vancouversun.com/tag/real-scooptwitter.com/kbolan ... (Saskatoon StarPhoenix)
