ockey parents in Whalley and Cloverdale take note – new ice sheets are coming. The aging ice arenas in Cloverdale and North Surrey will be replaced. In Bridgeview, the city will be moving the North Surrey rec centre to city-owned land at 12780 110th Ave. Cloverdale’s arena – the second oldest in the city’s inventory – will be replaced with an extra sheet of ice, but it’s not yet known where it will go. It may or may not be built on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. ❚ See full story on page 18.
Thousands flocked to Surrey’s Holland Park on Saturday to be blasted with rainbow-hued cornstarch in the five-kilometre Color Me Rad run. It’s one of more than 100 similar events staged around the world. See more photos at Thenownewspaper.com. (Photos: GORD GOBLE)

very good mayor if I didn’t provide that service if I could.” Asked if she thinks this move will save lives, Jackson replied, “It could, yes.” A report to council from Delta Fire Chief Dan Copeland noted most firefighters in B.C. are limited to providing basic assistance in life-threatening situations.
Delta is unique in that its three communities of North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen are widely separated by farmland and Burns Bog. To compensate for this, Delta’s seven firehalls are strategically located so firefighters can reach any call for help within three to eight minutes. “The BC Ambulance Service
does not have the resources to be able to consistently match those response times,” Copeland told council. He said all Delta’s fire trucks are expected to be equipped with the necessary gear firefighters need by the end of this week. tom.zytaruk@ thenownewspaper.com
