Upgrades planned for Flight Path Park Airport welcoming feedback on ‘significant’ upgrades for 2013 by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A small Sea Island park popular with plane-spotters is slated for “significant” upgrades, according to the Vancouver Airport Authority. Flight Path Park, located along Russ Baker Way on the southern edge of Burkeville, will be subject of an open house on Saturday, Feb. 2. Airport officials will be collecting ideas to reshape the park—an open space featuring a playground, benches and picnic tables. The park is situated directly underneath the flight path of the South Runway. Upgrades are sched-
uled for this year. The park last received a facelift in the fall of 2011, when dozens of akebono cherry trees were planted around the park’s pedestrian entrances and central plaza. The open house takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Jade Canoe sculpture in the airport’s International Terminal. Comments are also being accepted at community_relations@ yvr.ca.

Santa makes a list and checks it twice, elves build the toys, and Rudolph and his fellow reindeer guide the sleigh. Clearly, Christmas is a group effort. The Richmond Christmas Fund is no different. Each year, countless donors, volunteers, and community supporters contribute to the program. In 2012, they helped ensure that nearly 2,000 low-income residents - including children, seniors, and refugee families - could celebrate the holidays with gifts and a festive meal. To everyone who donated to the Christmas Fund, volunteered, or helped spread the word about the program, we just wanted to say thanks. We couldn’t have done it without you. 190 - 7000 MINORU BLVD.
