Chinatown pitched for Richmond But veteran councillor wonders how proponents would unify diverse collection of malls

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A tourist-drawing icon found in major North American cities could calm a local debate over Chinese-language-only signs, a longtime Richmond resident told city council Monday.

Erika Simm, a 45-year resident, sought political support to designate an area of Richmond as a Chinatown, complete with an ornate gate to mark its entrance in City Centre.

“Richmond has a Chinatown in the making, however, it has no character whatsoever… It is generic, bland and modern,” said Simm. “If you call it what it is, and if you embellish it, then who cares if there are Chinese-only signs?”

A Chinatown in Richmond would become a hub for tourists and include major Asian malls on No. 3 Road and the city’s restaurant row of Alex-

andra Road, Simm suggested. Banners and wall murals could tie the streets together, she added.

“This is an opportunity for our Chinese community to reach out and invite us to participate. It’s good for business and it’s good for building relationships.”

Eight Chinatowns in Canada, including Vancouver and Victoria, are being recognized this month in a Canada Post stamp series entitled Chinatown Gates.

But on Monday civic politicians were cool to the idea of adding Richmond to the list.

They noted a group of business owners pitched a similar plan several years ago, but it never got off the ground.

They also noted Tourism Richmond’s aim to market a cluster of over 400 Asian businesses as the Golden Village, but that concept “kind of faded out,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Cash needed to establish a Chinatown could come from developers, government grants, the city and—with a promise of boosting tourism—even local businesses, suggested Simm.

Councillors didn’t make any commitments Monday, but did encourage Simm to pursue it.

Let’s name a lane for Jimmy Ng

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter With the annual Jimmy Ng Ball Hockey coming to an end this year, local politicians are mulling over something more permanent to honour the memory of the fallen Mountie.

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home BC Children’s Hospital has played a big role in Kaitlyn Morovic’s life. The three-yearold was born with Down syndrome and two holes in her heart, and spent the first six weeks of her life in the hospital. Her mother Heather still raves about the care Kaitlyn receives at Children’s while also celebrating the fact that she now has what she calls her “direct link” to BC Children’s in the form of Richmond-based pediatrician Dr. Erik Swartz.

“Dr. Swartz has expertise in Kaitlyn’s condition and everything that’s secondary to it,” Morovic says. “Although Children’s is just 20 minutes away, it’s great to be able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Swartz, and he’s just a few minutes from home.”

Swartz works in the General Pediatrics Clinic, which is part of the Child Health Centre at Richmond Hospital. The Child Health Centre was established with $800,000 in support from Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all children in BC have access to a consistent standard of care no matter where in the province they live. The centre is also home to the Early Childhood Mental Health Program and the Noakes Primary Care Maternity Clinic.

“The fact that Kaitlyn is able to receive specialized care so close to home is exactly

what we’re looking for,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell.

Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops.

O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities.

Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees.

“We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects,

advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.”

Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold.

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children.

Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training.

On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs.

“Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Kaitlyn Morovic is proof of that.”

Heather Morovic says she’s grateful for both the care Kaitlyn receives at BC Children’s and the support she gets on a regular basis from Dr. Swartz. “He just gets it,” she says. “And Kaitlyn is doing fantastic. She’s walking and trying hard to talk, and she certainly knows how to pull on the heart strings. With BC Children’s and Dr. Swartz on our side, we couldn’t ask for a better support team.”

BC Children’s Hospital treated over 81,000 children last year.

Approximately 67 per cent of those children came from outside the City of Vancouver.

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years.

We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries.

In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

Ideas wanted for Garden City lands City to welcome residents, ideas to long vacant land at Saturday event

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter For the first time in a century, Richmond residents are being welcomed to the Garden City lands.

On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the city wants people to come and contribute ideas for the future of this 55-hectare open space in the heart of the city.

“We want people to connect with this parcel, rather than it be just green space. We want them to think about what they would like to see happen there,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie Tuesday.

The Create Garden City Lands Ideas Fair, June 1, is a family-oriented event that will include guided tours and other chances for people to interact and explore the lands— likely for the first time.

The lands—at the edge of City Centre between Alderbridge Way and Westminster Highway—have long been shielded from public access. The federal government acquired the parcel in 1903 and it was used as a rifle range until 1928. The

City officials made numerous attempts to acquire the lands over the years, and the prospect of public use finally became real three years ago when Richmond bought the lands for $59.2 million.

Now planners are embarking on a year-long planning process to determine future uses.

A broad range of public amenities is the city’s current vision, which includes community wellness, environmental sustainability and urban agriculture, according to the mayor.

Whatever happens, the lands remain locked in the Agricultural Land Reserve. And after two failed

attempts to extract it, Brodie has no intention of trying again. That means uses must comply with Agricultural Land Commission rules.

Brodie said two main areas of ideas he’s heard involve agriculture and sports.

“I don’t see any buildings, other than the smallest tool shed or something, going on there. I think we need to envision it without a lot of structures,” said Brodie.

With numerous groups and individuals ready to pitch ideas, the

mayor acknowledged the final plan may not satisfy everyone, but everyone will at least be welcome to be a part of the planning process.

“This is more than just 136 acres of dirt,” said Brodie. “It’s a unique opportunity for this city.”

City hall showcases abstractions of thought Artist made leap seven years ago and hasn’t looked back

Space vs Density •A new exhibition of paintings

by Lisa Ochowycz on at the Richmond City Hall galleria, 6911 No. 3 Rd. •Open to public during city hall hours; a Richmond Art Gallery outreach exhibition

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A Lisa Ochowycz canvas has colour, texture and grit—character that could result in an extra trip to the art supply store.

“I have a relentless streak in me that will not stop until I get butterflies in my stomach,” said Ochowycz in an interview Monday at Richmond City Hall. “So much so that I paint over things, I bulldoze past good moments in the pieces and don’t show those pieces until I get almost this nervous feeling.”

The 32-year-old Vancouver artist is exhibiting a new series of paintings entitled Space vs Density at a Richmond Art Gallery exhibition in the galleria of city hall. She’s a lighthearted painter whose heart is heavily invested in her work, which can lure her to the studio seven days a week.

Today, seven years after deciding to follow her heart, Ochowycz is learning the fine art of balance.

But as any professional artist knows, painting is only half the work—business management and marketing are also keys to success in art.

Ochowycz created Space vs Density this year: five large paintings representative of the artist’s practice of complete abstraction.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Lisa Ochowycz at Richmond City Hall, where Richmond Art Gallery is showcasing her series of five large-scale abstract paintings.

“I now can see that my work is absolutely influenced by landscape, by meeting people, by wandering through my environment, by travel. Basically they’re abstractions of thought,” she said.

Ochowycz is often moved by nature—cloud formations moving

about mountains, for example— but she’s not thinking specifics when preparing to paint.

“I’m not that rational or linear.

But the memories of these situations, that’s what I’m interested in, and to share that with somebody else.”

Her goal is to give viewers enough of a way into a piece so they’ll stop and take a look, and allow their minds to take it from there.

Ochowycz moved from city to city growing up, but her love of art was a constant. In her 20s, she made the practical decision to

enrol in a graphic design program, which she considered a creative compromise. But midway through the program she quit.

“I knew what I wanted to do was paint, and I couldn’t give up on that unless I actually tried,” she said. “Up until then I’d always wished I could have been (an artist)—dreamed of that—and when I took that step it was sort of a commitment to myself.”

As an artist she’s found herself drawn to series of paintings, marvelling at the relationship different pieces can have with each other.

That’s particularly true in Space vs Density, in which viewers are challenged to consider how the works fit together and relate to each other.

As with TV sitcoms, most series have an end, but this one isn’t finished yet. Ochowycz has already created another—although more paint still might make its way onto the canvas—so consider these works the first five.

Said Ochowycz: “It’s sort of the beginning, as opposed to the end.”

Chinatown idea mulled From Page 1 “I think that’s an exciting project if you can get it off the ground,” said Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt. “It will take co-ordination and determination on your part and for anyone else who wants to be involved.”

Coun. Harold Steves said it’s a great idea, but wondered how businesses and malls—located on different streets—could be brought together.

“I’m not sure how you’d get the diverse malls to be unified,” he said.

Chinese-language-only signs drew significant attention to Richmond earlier this year. In March Richmond residents Kerry Starchuk and Ann Merdinyan presented council a 1,000name petition urging the city to introduce a bylaw to ensure Canada’s official languages take precedence on signs. City council took no action.

Aston Martin driver’s condition takes a turn for the worse

Richmond RCMP have released an update on the three survivors of horrific deadly crash involving a pricey sports car and several vehicles stopped at a red light at Westminster Highway and Knight Street on May 8.

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Derkatch said of the three critically-injured people, the two occupants of the $200,000 Aston Martin DB9 remain in critical condition.

In fact, the condition of the driver of the Aston Martin has worsened, according to police.

Only one critically injured victim has shown signs of recovery, police said.

And although they didn’t identify who that person was, that appears to be the driver of a Honda Odyssey that was flung across the intersection and hurtled into a ditch, completely destroying the back half of the vehicle.

The Honda minivan’s driver was identified by her husband as Maryjane Dauz.

The funeral for the driver of a Mercedes Benz was held May 17, according to police.

Her name has not been publicly released.

O

ne benefit of the surprising fourth term for the B.C. Liberal Party is that the provincial government won’t be subjected to another big, expensive ideological remake.

Taxpayers are spared a bill of millions in severance pay for deputy ministers and other senior staff who would be purged in large numbers in the left-right lurch that has defined B.C. politics for a generation.

BC Ferries will continue as an arms-length operation, with ferry commissioner Gord Macatee in charge of service levels as well as fare caps. The service rationalization that the government set out in the past year will continue.

The NDP platform vowed to “position BC Ferries as an integral part of B.C.’s transportation infrastructure.”

Freely translated, that means “suck BC Ferries back into government,” as one of their strident supporters likes to say.

That would conceal the growth of the subsidy and facilitate the kind of political and union interference that resulted in the current structure.

There will be no $10 million rehash of the BC Rail sale and subsequent seven-year trial, to enrich elite lawyers once again.

The NDP promised an inquiry for strictly political reasons, to drag their opponents through the scandal one more time. It was not a prelude to “nationalizing” the province’s train service, dream scenarios of the NDP provincial council notwithstanding.

Costly legal confrontations over development projects have been avoided.

The Jumbo Glacier Resort proponents finally won a 20-year fight for permits, and the NDP promised to take them away.

A larger ideological battle over private power contracts has also been avoided. The B.C. Liberals have been caught by a sudden shift in power markets caused by cheap, abundant natural gas, but the billions in commitments to independent power producers isn’t the fiasco that critics have described.

If all those privately developed run-of-river hydro projects were owned and oper-

Christy Clark and Adrian Dix. This election could be the beginning of the end for the old leftright model for B.C. politics.

ated by BC Hydro, the Crown corporation would have to staff them and maintain them all for the next 40 years.

There are differing views about the future demand for electricity in B.C., but it can only rise with industry and population growth.

A decade of federal and provincial work to end duplication of environmental assessment won’t be undone. NDP leader Adrian Dix’s promise for “made in B.C.” reviews was a strategy to choke resource projects to death under endless procedure, which may yet be the fate the Jumbo resort.

We will have a Seniors’ Advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints.

That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it sank like a stone.

We have 85 seniors’ advocates now. They’re called MLAs, and they definitely take complaints.

They have staffed offices in their home communities and in Victoria. When they’re not doing political work that everyone denies is going on in constituency offices, those office staffers try to help people through the labyrinth of seniors’ at-home and institutional care.

A new seniors’ advocate can offer advice at the management level to help the health care system evolve, but only elected politicians are

positioned to tell individuals they can’t have what they are demanding. The government should be adding more direct services, not more bureaucrats.

There will be many arguments about the failure of the NDP to win against an unpopular B.C. Liberal government that is still weighed down by the harmonized sales tax and other heavy baggage.

This election could be the beginning of the end for the old left-right model for B.C. politics.

Lessons learned at Jimmy Ng tourney

Snap Shots

Martin van den Hemel

S

aturday was a fitting ending to an 11-year run for the annual Jimmy Ng Ball Hockey Tournament.

First organized in 2003, in honour of the Richmond Mountie who lost his life because of the actions of a street racer, the event

has helped the family and friends of Jimmy Ng to heal, while heightening community awareness about the perils of high-speed hijinx.

Ironically, while it was the selfish actions of a Richmond driver who cost a family their only son and cost a community a passionate friend and champion, it was selfishness too that marred Saturday’s tourney, as it has on more than a few occasions in years past.

The Richmond Review assembled a team for this year’s tournament, and in the spirit of camaraderie, friendly competition and the rules of our recreational division, included many youngsters, including teens and elementary school aged children relatively inexperienced at the sport.

In fact, one of our players was just 7, running out there fearlessly among the towering trees armed only with a pint-sized stick, curly flocks of golden hair and a

desire to simply play.

But the presence of young children seemed lost on more than a couple of the teams, who showed they were oblivious to the reason for the tournament.

What a shame.

This tournament should have been all about highspirited fun, where egos, selfishness and competitive, win-at-all-costs ferocity took a back seat for a day.

Instead, when we faced one team on Saturday afternoon, it seemed that at least a couple of players felt this was their personal Stanley Cup. “I didn’t touch anybody,” the grizzly bear of a man said defensively during our meeting in the post-game handshake.

I stared up at him and firmly grasped his hand— a bit harder and longer, though he probably didn’t notice—in order to offer some insight following the lopsided game in which his squad was victorious.

But the message I was sending, and what he was hearing, were two entirely different things, a disconnect that was a microcosm of what has ailed the annual memorial hockey tournament in years past.

Has poor gamesmanship hurt the tourney’s ability to attract teams? Who knows, but a tourney that drew 1620 in the early years, now had just 11 this year.

This shouldn’t have been about adults stickhandling around inexperienced and immature children, stripping them of the puck, and firing head-high shots without consideration of the surroundings.

But time and again, that’s what happened.

After that disappointing match, we were slated to face a highly-skilled squad of talented teens representing Seafair.

I went up to them prior to our match, reminded them about sportsmanship, the reason they were at the

event, and talked about the man who lost his life and after whom the tourney was named. And I asked them to remember what it was like when they were young and just learning the sport.

To their credit, Seafair showed their class, allowing our youngsters to score, leaving smiles on their faces and memories for a lifetime.

Seafair still flashed their skills, and won, but they conducted themselves respectfully and still had fun.

Thankfully, Richmond Fire-Rescue too showed their sportsmanship, gearing their game down in consideration for the context, their opponents, and the organization they represent.

I’m sure Jimmy Ng would have been proud to see there’s still a place for sportsmanship in Canada’s favourite sport, and room for it to be showcased to those who don’t know better.

Pre-K to Grade 12 Grammer

A new museum would benefit us all Editor: I have sat back and read the predictably negative knee-jerk letters to the editor regarding the proposed new museum for Richmond. “We can't afford $59 million.” “We shouldn't be building a new museum until other issues are taken care of.”

“Council has its priorities all wrong.”

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course. My thoughts on a new Richmond Museum are somewhat different.

I see an iconic building, situated near the banks of the Fraser, but also near the Canada Line. I see a building where children can attend school programs to learn about Richmond's history. I see a place where the stories are told of the people and families who built this community—from the First Nation people, to the original English settlers, to the waves of immigrants from Europe, Japan, India, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Mexico, the U.S., and many other countries of the world.

I see stories about the industries which attracted people and allowed them to raise their families here: agriculture, fishing, the airport, construction, and manufacturing. I see stories of these families' journeys to Richmond, and their connections to the countries of their origin, which will naturally lead

to partnerships with other museums in these lands, to bring in fascinating and engaging traveling exhibits.

I see a community gathering place where all of us can collectively discuss matters of great importance, celebrate great events, and grieve for our losses. I see a community square, a storehouse of our treasured artifacts and documents, a place of learning, of dialogue, and mostly, of telling our story—the story of Richmond.

Yes, I believe that a museum will benefit us all.

And with support from the federal government, as it prepares to celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday in 2017, help from the province, and support from Richmond's corporate and philanthropic community, a new museum will “cost us” far less than $59 million.

And it will be money very well spent.

Editor: Are you like me counting down the days till June? The kids get out of school, sun kissed evenings, vacations begin, weddings abound and the world just seems right.

The start of summer, where you never have enough time to do all the nothing you want.

And—that green cart you filled up three weeks ago with everything from the yard and the back of the fridge finally gets collected.

Yes I know there's a few of you out there just like me who, though well informed, but short in memory, filled the two-wheeled future of recycling and happily pushed it to the end of the drive. And then with a little less joy, pushed it back to the house (with a green sticker added) still filled with everything you hoped

to rid your life of.

After finding my glasses, but not before accusing everyone in the house of hiding them, I find the green sticker has words on it. They want to thank me for using the system, but, I have to wait till June before they pick it up. Well, I don't have to wait, it's the future two pulses short of a backyard smoothie that's going to do the waiting. And ripening!

Now the sticker did inform me to transfer that which was in the green cart over to my green cans. And if anyone from Sierra Waste is reading this, I did! Honest! (And yes I will be running in the next election.)

But here's the thing— what do I do with this week’s food scraps and yard trimmings after I fill my cans with last week’s? I live life on the edge when

it comes to a supply of green cans at this time of year. Everything that can grow, is! The shrubs, trees, plants, weeds, and my nemesis,the grass, all gang up on me in May. The worst time to be shunned at the curb is May. And this isn't the first May that it's happened!

Last year I had to start a compost pile in the neighbour’s yard, in that narrow space between their garage and fence. This, also a way to hide the fact that my dog can climb the fence and mess in this very spot (I’m not sure which party I’m running for).

I buy paper bags but I’ve left it too long in the green cart now.

It's nasty! The neighbours on all sides accused me of possible crimes against humanity when I dug a hole in the yard. Hiding some foul evidence are we? (I was burying the wife's meatloaf. It won't compost!)

So with only a few more days till we welcome in June and say goodbye to May’s food scraps and yard trimmings, I pray for cool weather. And I thank the good people of Sierra Waste (who empty the green carts) for their understanding in my eagerness to utilize the new system.

Jimmy Ng tourney is a great event Editor: I played in the first Jimmy Ng tournament in Steveston and a few years after. Then, after a hiatus, I had the pleasure to play in what unfortunately may be the final Jimmy Ng tournament.

I had a great time seeing the young and old— anyone can play—and it would be something if the tournament could continue. There is no reason to say goodbye to the memory of Jimmy.

I hope organizers can continue this tradition for Richmond. A job well done with all participants, volunteers, spectators and our RCMP. Samuel John Lackner Richmond

I feel a change comin’ on

Life Lessons

T

here are many perks to participating in this week’s Bike to Work Week throughout Metro Vancouver: commuter breakfasts, prizes, and bike maintenance stations.

Of course there’s larger personal benefits: exercise, lower stress levels, and a connectedness with the outdoors among other paybacks.

Still, for me, the main reason for strapping on

my helmet and getting to work on two wheels is something more tangible—time.

Strangely, during the peak commuter times in my tiny corner of Richmond, it actually takes me longer to drive to work than it does to bike it. When I pull out of my suburban subdivision on my way to my high school job, the parent drop off traffic overspills from the small side street onto major thoroughfares.

Sometimes twenty cars deep, the line up to get on to school property is impenetrable, even for staff members with their own separate parking lot.

Last year, when we were taking statistics, we determined that an average school day brought in over 200 parent cars doing drop off. Now, with a population of over 1200 students, that’s still a minority, but still, on a side street, that amounts to a mini rush hour.

Pundits say that changing behaviours is hard for humans and that it takes a significant deterrent before people give up ingrained patterns.

Charging customers five cents for each plastic shopping bag gets people to remember their reusable bags.

Banning clear plastic lawn bags gets others to start using their green cans.

For me, it was realizing that I’d be faster getting to work on my bike that made me shift out of my habit of using my car. On the days that I have to pick up my son from kindergarten and I’m facing parent traffic at two schools, it’s an absolute necessity if I want to be close to being on time.

I think about other habits that we’re urged to drop and wonder how bad things will have to get before we make a change. Will the Fraser have to spill over our dykes before we believe in climate

change and make significant carbon reducing decisions? Will it take a $6 imported apple before we start sourcing out local food?

It’s interesting thinking about the changes that are coming. With the new high capacity green cans rolling out next week, will Richmond start composting with the same dedication with which we currently recycle?

Will the electric car charging stations around Richmond start becoming essential utilities rather than novelties? I’m looking forward to seeing this.

“I feel a change comin’ on” (to quote Bob Dylan)—a sustainable change. And it is good.

Harold’s restaurant like home away from home A combination of great food, exemplary staff and comfortable surroundings help make customers at Harold’s Bistro and Bar feel like they’re right at home as soon as they walk inside.

For the man after whom the restaurant was named, Harold Cross has felt at home there ever since he and his wife Jeannie first set foot in the restaurant inside the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel.

It was 1980, the restaurant was called the Wayfaring Tree, and it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

In 2011, Cross celebrated his 90th birthday with staff at the restaurant which was in recent years named in his honour by new ownership.

And although his wife passed away seven years ago, he remains a regular, rarely missing a day.

Cross gushed about the restaurant’s recently revamped look: “When they refinished this, it’s just gorgeous, and what comes out of the kitchen is always great, but it’s the people— all of them around here, everybody,” he said.

The restaurant’s menu will have you wondering if you’re at home or on the road, with a wide selection of awardwinning local wines, beer on tap, and spirits from around the world.

Richmond to host the 62nd B.C. Chamber of Commerce annual conference in ’14

O

ver this past weekend, delegates from the Richmond Chamber of Commerce attended the 61st Annual B.C. Chamber of Commerce AGM and Conference, hosted by the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce. In 2014 Richmond will host this annual event which brings hundreds of participants from across the Province for a weekend of networking, policy discussions, and live expert panels. The highlight of this year’s event was the announcement that the Vancouver Board of Trade is now officially a member of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, bringing the total membership up to 36,000 businesses across B.C. The Richmond Chamber of Commerce was co-author of four policies which were passed on the floor this year and will appear in the B.C. Chamber 2013/14 Policy and Positions Manual which is distributed to policy makers across B.C. and Canada to guide in the formulation of sound public policy. Below is a summary of the four policies which Richmond was involved with on behalf of our membership and the community: Fraser River Flood Management The Richmond Chamber of Commerce believes it is critical that the Provincial and Federal government begin working with local governments and First Nations to develop a comprehensive, proactive, long-term strategy to maintain the very powerful and harnessed Fraser River.

A major flood would result in severe social, economic and environmental impacts, including billions of dollars in damage to private and public property, temporary loss of infrastructure and community services and disruption of business and trade. In addition to

activity and 10% of the National GDP. Without federal support of navigable waters the ability to develop and grow this vital transportation route to the Asia Pacific will be limited. The Richmond Chamber of Commerce believes that it is time the Federal Government, the Province, and First Nations develop a proactive long-term strategy to restore and maintain the Fraser River as a sustainable transportation route.

This national heritage river is the backbone of transportation for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and is of Richmond Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Craig Jones with the great economic value emcee of this year’s conference, Gloria to the entire country.

Streamlining and Macarenko from CBC Vancouver. facilitating a process this threat, sea-level rise is imminent, that allows this which will require significant dyking essential transportation channel to be upgrades in coming years. As a driving maintained and prosper will be crucial factor in Canada’s economic prosperity, to Canada’s economic future for and the backbone of the province, the generations to come.

Fraser River must be maintained to Intermunicipal Mobile ensure economic prosperity and growth Business License and public safety.

The Richmond Chamber believes Fraser River Navigation Management The Fraser is the largest river in British Columbia, traversing 1,400 hundred kilometers from its base at Mt. Robson, to its mouth at the Salish Sea; in addition to being one of the most economically significant waterways in the country, accounting for 80% of provincial economic

that the benefits of Intermunicipal mobile business licenses to local governments, business, and residents have been successfully demonstrated by the success of the OkanaganSimilkameen, Fraser Valley, and other pilot programs across the Province. Despite the clear benefits, the program has been slow to expand which maintains increased costs for

local governments, businesses, and ultimately results in higher fees for the taxpayer. It is hoped that the continued introduction of regional mobile license programs is an interim step towards the eventual goal of a single, province wide, equitable licensing program for all business.

Improving Air Access for the Benefit of the Economy British Columbia has a great deal to lose if Canada’s aviation policy is not liberalized. By one estimate, restrictive air access policies result in an estimated $800M loss to B.C.’s GDP by discouraging traffic growth.

Although it is a sound policy in theory, Blue Sky Agreements have not resulted in the changes required to make Canada’s aviation industry globally competitive. With its position as Canada’s Pacific Gateway, British Columbia is particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of an aviation policy that does not encourage competition. The lack of progress on this issue has significant consequences for the economic health of Metro Vancouver. As home to the Vancouver International Airport the Richmond Chamber of Commerce firmly believes that we must negotiate open skies policies to create a fair opportunity for those willing to provide air access to Canadian cities.

Advocacy is one of the primary roles of Chambers of Commerce.

The Richmond Chamber provides the business community with a united voice, addressing important local and global issues. A strong membership ensures that we can continue to work on behalf of our members to help build a robust economy and strong community.

Getting social with the RCC

T

he Richmond Chamber of Commerce online directory gives our members the ability to see exactly how many referrals and profile views they get within a given period of time. This month, our members have received 724 referrals on average.

What does that mean? It means people are looking for you!

When they find your organization on our directory, they’re able to send a secure email, view your main contact person, see your location on a map as well as view your website, phone, and fax lines.

There are also some special features new to the Chamber of which smart members should take advantage.

You’ve probably already invested a bit of time in social media. Whether you have an entire Social Media Marketing Strategy or just a salesperson with an active Twitter account, let your company tell

your story. When a visitor to our website sees your business among others of the same category, the information from your social media accounts can play a huge role in differentiating you from the competition.

Now, you can link to your social media accounts right on your directory page. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Youtube and many more are all avenues to drive customers to your organization.

Imagine, as a Chamber member, you’re looking for a business advisor.

Because you’re already an RCC member, you visit the online directory for a warm referral. A list of 12 seemingly equally qualified consultants come up as a result of your search. How do you choose who to call? Chances are that the more information you can see immediately, the more likely you’ll be to get

a good sense of each business advisor and be more able to make an informed decision.

Wouldn’t you like to make it easy for your potential customers to do business with you?

For instructions on adding social media links to your directory listing or accessing your referrals report, please call the Richmond Chamber of Commerce at 604-2782822.

Sockeyes go back to the future for head coach After a year’s break, Judd Lambert will be back behind the bench next season

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Richmond Sockeyes have gone back to the future for their next head coach.

After a year’s hiatus, Judd Lambert will again be back of the bench of the Pacific Junior Hockey League team.

“By the end of five years I was needing a break, but I’m happy to be back,” said Lambert, who returns to the team he graduated from as a player in 1992, backstopping Richmond to the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial Junior B hockey title.

“We had him on our coaching committee, and when he said he wanted to put his name in for the coaching vacancy it was a no-brainer (to bring him back as head coach),” said Doug Paterson, one of the

Sockeyes’ owners.

Lambert, who replaces Aaron Wilbur who stepped down following the Sockeyes’ Keystone Cup Western Canadian championship victory in April, coached the Sockeyes from 2007-08 to 2011-12, during which he compiled a franchisebest winning percentage of over .800. He had an immediately positive influence, guiding the Sockeyes to within a point of the Abbotsford Pilots for the PIJHL regular-season pennant in 2007-08. The following season, 2008-09, was magical.

Not only did Lambert guide the Sockeyes to the league’s regular-season and playoff titles, but also to B.C. (Cyclone Taylor) and Canadian (Keystone Cup) Junior B championships.

The on-ice success continued in each of the next three seasons, as

Richmond—despite losing many of its players to graduation—placed second overall in the PIJHL in 2009-10, five points back of the North Delta Devils. They finished atop the league in both 2010-11 and 2011-12, sweeping the Abbotsford Pilots in four games for the 2011 playoff title and in 2012 taking eventual playoff champion Delta Ice Hawks to six games in the semifinals.

All told, under Lambert’s guidance, the Sockeyes won 181 regular season games, lost only 37 in regulation and 16 in overtime. His playoff record was equally impressive: 42 wins, 12 regulation losses and five overtime losses.

Before deciding to return as coach of the Sockeyes, Lambert discussed the opportunity extensively with his young family who gave

him their fulling blessing and encouragement.

Lambert inherits a Sockeyes’ team that will look significantly different than the club that won the Keystone Cup in St. Malo, Man. in April. The core, most of whom Lambert coached, have either graduated or moved on to play Junior A. As a result, the Sockeyes will be built around two returning veteran blueliners and 20-year-old goaltender Kootenay Alder.

“We’ve got no one signed yet from Midget or Major Midget, so the entire balance of the team has to be filled through three camps in May, July and August,” Lambert said. “It’ll be an interesting time.”

The first of those prospect camps will be held this week (Wednesday through Saturday) at the Richmond Ice Centre.

File photo Judd Lambert compiled a winning percentage of more than .800 over five seasons before stepping aside as head coach of the Richmond Sockeyes prior to the 2012-13 season.

Chocolate arrived at the SPCA due to tragic circumstances, and he has recently come back to the shelter after being fostered. His foster mom says once he is comfortable in his forever home he can be quite chatty. He is not a lap cat but will show affection by lying next to your feet when at the computer, meowing for frequent head scratches and the occasional tummy rubs. He does not care to be picked up but enjoy his important playtime! He will do best in a home where there are no other pets. Chocolate is a big mellow cat who likes to just hang out and have been affectionately nicknamed The Gentle Giant.

SOS Children’s Village Run at the Richmond Olympic Oval

At the starting line.

undreds of people of all ages hurried past a group of cheerleaders as sirens blared from a fire truck, signaling the start of the fifth annual SOS Children’s Village Run and Walk at the Richmond Olympic Oval last Sunday.

“The support of the community is huge,” said Lois Bouchard, a SOS Children’s Village founding member.

The run was established to raise money for the village, which supports B.C. foster children, through pledges collected by runners

and walkers and a registration fee.

“We have to look after our children,” Bouchard said. “Foster care … needs that community support.”

Participants either ran or walked a 2-, 5or 10-kilometre route along the dike outside of the Richmond Olympic Oval, which looped around and took them back to the starting point.

“It’s beautiful, people love it,” Bouchard said.

This year, there were festivities before and after the actual run, including live entertainment, a kid’s zone, a silent auction, snacks and booths set up by sponsors.

The event has steadily grown each year for the last five years.

“We’ve sort of just gradually grown,” Bouchard said.

“We would like this to be a premier event for Richmond.”
