Title based on caption
Collected by editorial for use in a January 2003 issue of the Burnaby NewsLeader
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-1: "Auction day starts early for Burnaby florist, Lucy Lo, as she examines the flowers and plants up for sale at the United Flower Growers Co-op, on Marine Way. That means a walk-around tour of the giant warehouse at 5:30 AM to decide what she'll bid on when the auction begins at six."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-2: "Lucy studies the lots in the giant bidding theatre. The flower auction is actually a "Dutch Auction," which means prices start high and go down, with buyers bidding in at the price they're prepared to pay. All the bidding is done by keypad, with transactions recorded and tracked by computer."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-3: "Lucy, and her seatmate, Harold Calton, a florist in Richmond, concentrate as they study prices for the day's flowers. The two will sometimes split a lot one of them has bought if it's too large for their own store."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-4: "Bids at the auction are placed by a keypad that allows buyers to key in the price they're paying and the quantity of lots they're buying. The transactions are recorded by computer and by the time the auction is over, the buyer's purchases are organized and waiting for pickup in the warehouse."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-5: "The auction over, Lucy checks her order in the warehouse."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-6: "Lucy wheels part of her day's purchases to her car. Her husband will pick up the rest in his van. The flowers and plants will be on sale in her two stores the same day."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-7: "Back in her shop in Metrotown, Lucy creates an arrangement."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-8 and 535-1826-9: "Lucy examines a delicate orchid, in her shop, Metro Flowers."

Title based on caption
Collected by editorial for use in a December 2001 issue of the Burnaby NewsLeader
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-1: "Peter Emlick and Peri Hansen are eagerly anticipating moving into their own home at Burnaby's Habitat for Humanity development. The couple were amongst the first volunteers at the project, and the first elligible buyers. Habitat for Humanity builds low-income housing for people who would otherwise be unable to afford to own their own homes. Most of the construction is done by volunteers."
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-2: "Art Wosminity takes a break from drywall taping in one of the units."
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-3: "Volunteers help clean up the site."
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-4: "Peri Hansen says she's most thrilled about "finally having a view" from the kitchen of her new home, still under construction at Burnaby's Habitat for Humanity. "
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-5: "Mario Galdamez takes in the view from the deck of his townhouse unit at Burnaby's Habitat for Humanity."
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-6: "Habitat for Humanity projects are built largely by volunteers who exchange "sweat equity" for the chance to live in the developments. But at Burnaby's Habitat for Humanity, on a recent Saturday after heavy Fall rains, Mitch Uh felt like he was giving "mud equity.""
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-7: "Kerry MacLaren and Sandy Stephens sort through wood scraps at Burnaby's Habitat for Humanity project."
Caption from metadata for 535-2970-8: "Volunteers at Buranby's Habitat for Humanity project leave behind their signatures on a sign in the worksite's lunch area."
