VANCOUVER — A Burnaby man has been handed the longest sentence ever awarded in Canada for committing acts of sexual tourism: 11 years in prison.

In May, Kenneth Robert Klassen, 59, pleaded guilty to six counts of invitation to sexual touching involving girls under the age of 14 in Colombia. The offences occurred between December 1998 and March 2002.

The international art dealer and divorced father of three also pleaded guilty to eight counts of invitation to sexual touching involving girls under the age of 14 in Cambodia in August 2001.

The case began when customs officials seized a suspicious package from the Philippines that Klassen had mailed to himself. The package contained commercial child pornography.

When Klassen picked up the package in September 2004, he was arrested.

Police executed a search warrant at his home and at a storage locker in Vancouver. They seized 21 DVDs containing more than 200 images of child pornography.

Klassen had arranged for a woman to take a computer course so that she could edit out his face from the images of him having sex with the girls.

The sex offences, ranging from fondling to digital penetration to sexual intercourse, took place inside his Colombian home and at hotels.

In Cambodia, the offences took place in a two-and-a-half-day period in a hotel room.

In sentencing Klassen Wednesday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen said expressions of remorse and insight on Klassen’...

"It was a little bit confusing," said Amanda Peters, one of the "tourists" who made the trip to Oxford in late June.

These visitors came to Oxford as part of the First Impressions Community Exchange (FICE), an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs program that matches similar communities for incognito -- and reciprocal -- visits. The intent was to recreate the "tourist experience" -- and provide a "fresh set of eyes" -- without any help or encouragement from the destination community.

The point, as Ingersoll realtor Wayne Campbell pointed out at Monday's presentation, was to determine these first impressions.

"The key to the program is first impressions," said Campbell, who was part of the Oxford team that made a reciprocal visit to Clarington. "If we are lacking in some areas (then) we're not supporting some of these places."

Taking the constructive feedback from the Clarington visitors, Oxford tourism specialist Cathy Bingham said the next step would be establishing an action plan. By establishing subcommittees of volunteers, Bingham hoped to turn these Clarington suggestions into an improved tourism experience for county visitors.

The key suggestion by the visitors was to create stronger branding for Oxford as a whole instead of competing messages from its townships and urban areas. Because the average tourist "doesn't see boundaries," a concerted effort to cross-promote and build on existing attractions and festivals co...
