Surrey’s stance on racism hits sour note, bands say

Tent city takes ‘stand against displacement’

Lauren Collins lauren.collins@surreynowleader.com

Several bands have backed out of performing music during Surrey’s virtual Canada Day celebrations as calls grow for the city to take a stronger stance in denouncing racism against Black and Indigenous people.

A petition, started by Surrey-based 5X Festival and African Heritage Festival of Music and Dance, urges the City of Surrey “to show solidarity with Black and Indigenous communities by making a public statement committing to anti-racism in our city.”

As of Tuesday (June 23), the petition has received close to 4,800 signatures on the website change.org, under the heading “#SurreyStandUp: Dismantle Anti-Black Racism.”

The petition was launched by Surrey-based organizers of the 5X and AHFOMAD festivals, following their call on June 8 for the city to Continued on A6

‘Take action,’ businesses urge Bains Labour minister stands ground as B.C. business leaders demand temporary layoff extension Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Provincial Minister of Labour Harry Bains says there will be no ministerial order – at least “not right now” – to extend the temporary layoff time limits beyond 16 weeks, as there are already provisions under the Employment Standards Act for employers and workers to apply for extensions beyond that time.

But business organizations throughout the province say that’s not good enough as “time is of the essence,” and they are calling on him to extend the temporary layoff time limit to Aug. 31 and tack on six weeks more once emergency orders are lifted, in “the interests of doing what is right for workers and employers in British Columbia.”

Bains told the Now-Leader his government is listening, “and after listening, if we need to extend, and if we’re convinced that extension is needed to protect jobs, but at the same to protect workers rights and their benefits, we will be open to that.”

“We believe the extension variance process will work well,” he said.

“We are also prepared to improve that system if need be.”

In a joint June 22 letter to the Surrey-Newton MLA – from the Surrey Board of Trade, BC Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, BC Built.BC Strong, the Business Council of British Columbia, Retail Council of Canada, Restaurants Canada, British Columbia

Bains

Huberman

Hotel Association, the Tourism Industry Association of BC, the BC Trucking Association and ABLE BC For A Responsible Liquor Industry – these organizations claim Bains’ approach is “perplexing.”

“It also unnecessarily places at risk thousands of jobs for youth, women, and vulnerable people in our society,” they charge.

Bains said Monday the NDP government “fully” understands that the pandemic has put many workers and businesses “under significant strain,” but it has already extended the temporary layoff provisions in the Employment Standards Act to 16 weeks from 13 and employers and workers together can also apply for further extensions.

“We have a flexibility in our Employment Standards Act, compared to other jurisdictions, where if the employer feels they need a few more days, and a little more time, to extend the temporary layoff from 16 weeks even, then they can actually talk to their impacted workers and if the majority of those workers agree, they can apply to Employment Standards for the extension beyond 16 weeks.

So that provision is available to

them right now,” Bains told the Now-Leader.

Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade, says businesses across the province have been calling on Bains to act urgently in an effort to prevent more job losses and small businesses from going bankrupt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

She says at issue is the spectre of bankruptcy and insolvency for thousands of small and medium sized businesses and notfor-profits being forced to pay out severance because of unforeseen circumstances brought on by the pandemic.

“Minister Bains has it within his power to provide a ministerial order to extend the temporary lay-off time limits under the Employment Standards Act to provide employers with the breathing room needed to survive, recover and facilitate return-to-work for laid-off employees,” Huberman said.

She said the Surrey Board of Trade “demands that the BC Ministry of Labour revisit their recent negative response to the business community. Take action. Extend the temporary layoff provision for at least a further 13-week period through to August 31, 2020 to provide employers with certainty during this tenuous economic recovery period.”

To this, Bains replies, “That’s what I’m saying, that the employer has that option right now under Employment Standards that they can talk to workers and get their agreement and then they can approach to the Employment Standards and get

that extension.

“For example,” he said, “if an employer has 50 employees and they are bringing back say 40 of them, but the 10 of them still have to wait beyond 16 weeks that they already have, then they could go to those 10, and if the majority of those 10 agree to postpone or extend the 16-week temporary layoff they can go to Employment Standards and apply for the extension.”

There will be no ministerial order, he said.

“Not right now. I’ve already spoken to Employment Standards Branch, through my ministry, and they’re ready to take those applications and are working diligently to help employers and workers and listen to those applications.”

The organizations that signed the June 22 letter, however, say Bains’ suggestion that employers apply under the ESA for a variance to extend temporary layoff time limits is a “hollow offering” and “frankly Minister, insulting to the many businesses struggling to recover or simply keep their doors open as a result of COVID-19.

“You are aware, or ought to be aware, of the substantial back logs within the Employment Standards Branch,” they told Bains.

“If businesses are required to use this ‘pathway,’ it will be several weeks or months before extensions to statutory layoff provisions that are urgently required now are granted. The result will be widespread bankruptcies and insolvencies that you, as Minister of Labour, caused through your inaction.”

Surrey is home to nearly onefifth of Beedie Luminaries scholarship winners in B.C. this year.

Twenty-three Grade 12 students in Surrey were awarded one of the 128 scholarships, each valued at up to $40,000.

“These scholarships recognize promising B.C. students who have faced personal and financial hardships in their lives,” Ryan Beedie, founder and principal benefactor of Beedie Luminaries, said in a news release.

“For many of these students, this scholarship means the difference between being able to attend post-secondary or not.”

Beedie Luminaries was launched in 2018 with a $50-million donation from Beedie, in celebration of his 50th birthday.

This year, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Beedie Luminaries decided to increase the total

number of scholarships from 105 to 128.

Surrey-area scholarship winners this year are Devendra Dutta, Zeba Totakhil, Trang Nguyen, Orla Moore, Fatima Mushtaq, Resina (Ye Na) Kim, Michal Oqbe, Naailah Shah, Laiba Abbas, Zainab Osman, Mumtaz Sultan, Kaitlin Law, Emma Pflanz, Madison Brown, Emma (Minju) Kim, Misbah Memon, Samar Kapoor, Chakriya Rodkhong, Abishek Kanagasabay, Dawson Ho, Tayyib Chohan, Parneet Bhatha and Harman Mann.

The full list of this year’s winners, from 64 high schools, is posted to beedieluminaries.ca.

A post on the website states that “the recipients demonstrated resilience, grit, academic readiness, and the determination to succeed – with many sharing compelling personal stories of overcoming challenges.”

Surrey’s Michal Oqbe is a

first-generation university student in her family.

“Becoming one of the Beedie Luminaries has presented me with such a great opportunity for achieving my future dreams, and for that I am forever grateful,” Oqbe said in a news release.

“With this scholarship, I can positively influence my younger siblings but most importantly change the world.”

In addition to financial assistance of up to $40,000 each, recipients are paired with mentors.

They are also offered paid summer internship opportunities, Stay on Track student support, invitations to special events and access to the Beedie Luminaries online community.

The application period for the 2021 cohort will open this fall.

To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must, among other requirements, also be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident for at least three years.

Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Surrey city council has voted to hire five new bylaw enforcement officers.

Councillor Brenda Locke asked at the June 15 council meeting how this fits into the city’s hiring freeze.

Rob Costanzo, general manager of corporate services for the city, replied that “the appointment was made prior to the pandemic in February, so this is carrying that out at this time.”

A clerk’s report says four have been appointed as Community Patrol Officers effective from May 1, 2020 until September 15, 2020.

John Lawson, chair of SurreyCares, said the organization is “proud that Surrey is part of this national program and grateful to the Government of Canada for this much-needed boost benefiting local charities.”

Loretta Hibbs, founder and president of City Dream Centre, said being able to offer food security to families and seniors in need during the pandemic makes a huge difference.

“For many families, it is difficult to ask for help, but COVID-19 has made it necessary,” she said.

“Many have lost their jobs, and some were already living below the poverty line, so we foresee this need continuing for some time.”

Meanwhile, SurreyCares continues to help local charities and non-profits through its Surrey Community Relief Fund, which it launched in March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ters, so they go into the bush and set up camps or wherever.

“So a group of us got together and took over a city lot that nobody uses,” she said. “We’re not bugging anybody. We decided to pitch our tents and just stand our ground.”

By Monday, 14 tents had been set up, but from the outset the encampment’s future was precarious.

“They’re trying to move us right now. We’re refusing due to the fact there’s nowhere to go, the shelters are all full, the modulars are getting closed down so why go there? There’s nowhere to go, like it’s just impossible for us to find somewhere to go. We’re not harming anybody, we’re not bugging anybody.”

Rob Costanzo, Surrey’s general manager of corporate services, told the Now-Leader by email Monday that the City of Surrey “is dealing with an illegal encampment that has just set up within the last day.

“Of the roughly 14 tents at this site, staff estimate that approximately one third of the individuals are homeless. The City is working with BC Housing and our social services partners to find housing and shelter for these individuals.”

Still, the occupants have vowed to dig in.

“I’m tired of them pushing us

around, treating us like we don’t exist,” Stopa said.

“They can’t push us around if we stand together.”

Isabel Krupp, a Red Braid organizer, said at press time Tuesday that bylaw officers had not yet made a move to remove the encampment.

“Whalley World tent city is the street community’s stand against displacement,” she declared.

DEBATE

Published by: Black Press Ltd. at 102 - 5460 152 St., Surrey, B.C. V3S 5J9

Our view

After tragedies, helpers rush in

I

t is comforting to know that, in cases of personal tragedy and extreme adversity, not only family and friends but also complete strangers are more than willing to help you.

Two recent local tragedies come to mind.

On June 1, Jasvinder Singh Riar, age 31, died at work, at the Canadian National Railway’s Thornton Yard in North Surrey, leaving behind his wife, his ninemonth-old son, and his mother, paternal grandmother and sister.

That was one mighty responsibility he shouldered, being the sole provider for his family.

But at this time of writing,

864 donors have contributed $96,659 through a GoFundMe campaign online, toward helping his family.

This past Sunday, which happened to be Father’s Day, tragedy struck another local family when Surrey realtor Kashif Sheikh, 46, drowned while trying to save his daughter who had slipped into a creek near a waterfall in the Okanagan.

Sheikh leaves behind a wife and four children. You’ll see his story on page A13 of this issue.

Within two days of his death, 777 donors to a GoFundMe campaign had raised $81,645 to help Sheikh’s family.

Of course, no amount of money will ever replace these two men. But the money being raised in their memory will surely help take some of the burden off their survivors, who are undoubtedly suffering from the shock, confusion and grief that is particular to sudden and unexpected deaths.

The fact that strangers, some of whom can ill afford it, will help others in times of need serves to remind us that ultimately none of us are really alone.

And we can all take some comfort in that.

officers in B.C. have wage parity with their municipal counterparts.

This would result in a 20 per cent wage increase for RCMP members.

Notably, RCMP-policed municipalities will not be at the bargaining table, but will get the invoice. If wage parity is achieved, the costs of RCMP contract policing and municipal policing will be similar, even with the 10 per cent federal subsidy for RCMP. German asserts that training the new members of the SPD will be a problem.

It will not. The transition plan calls for 68 new recruits to be hired and trained over a two-year period at the Police Academy at the Justice Institute of B.C. The staff at the academy assured the transition committee that this number can be accommodated. The remaining hires will be officers who are currently in service. Although there has not been a formal survey of in-service officers, anecdotal evidence suggests that the SPD will

be successful in hiring currently serving officers from other police services, including the RCMP. The transition plan calls for a gradual change-over from RCMP to municipal, with SPD members replacing RCMP officers over a period of time.

German raises the issue of community safety, arguing that criminals will have a “field day” during the transition.

Unlikely. The graduated transition plan will ensure the department is fully staffed at all times.

Protocols have also been established for investigative file continuity during the transition.

In German’s view, municipal police services do not create a greater sense of identity.

They do. In contrast to their RCMP counterparts, municipal police officers generally spend their entire careers in one community.

This facilitates ownership and partnerships. The SPD will be able to recruit a workforce that reflects

the diversity of the community, an impossibility in an RCMP detachment where personnel decisions are not made at the local level. The arrival and departure of officers and the Officer in Command of the detachment is determined by the organizational needs of the RCMP rather than by those of the municipality.

The men and women of the RCMP who have policed the city for the past 70 years have served admirably. However, Surrey has outgrown the RCMP model. It was the last municipality in Canada with over 350,000 residents without an independent police service. The City of Surrey had its own police service from 1887 to 1951. In many ways, it is returning to its roots.

ROSES AND ROTTEN TOMATOES: Do you have someone you would like to thank? Or maybe something to get off your chest? Email your rose or rotten tomato to edit@surreynowleader.com. z Roses to the young gentleman working at Sherwin Williams on King George Boulevard who helped a confused 83-year-old woman (myself) who stumbled into the shop asking for help.

I had been dropped off at the wrong address when going for an appointment at the eye clinic and had forgotten that the clinic had moved. I stupidly decided to walk from 104th Avenue to 96th Street when I had a low sugar count (type 1 diabetic). I had no money on me and no cell phone, so I entered the first shop I saw. The young gentleman there very kindly looked after me and called a taxi and talked to me while I waited. When the taxi came he escorted me out to it. I have great hope for the future if we have more young people like him. z Roses to Ivan Scott and the “Keep RCMP in Surrey” movement. Your tenacity and passion are fantastic.

City Hall should take a page from your book on how to actually represent the democratic wishes of the people of Surrey. z Rotten tomatoes to the writer who complained about those who are protesting against the mayor’s push to replace the RCMP with a local force.

First off, we don’t know who this person is so I really don’t believe that any one of us has shoved any signs in his face or put any bumper stickers on his car. We simply hold events

and people show up to get their own signs and bumper stickers and sign the petition. And yes, we have lives. We freely give our time for a cause that we believe will save the City of Surrey taxpayer a ton of money and prevent a disaster from happening. z Rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey for not following up on illegal suites, illegal building and dumping that is done in the city. People need to be held accountable for their actions and the damage

that they are doing. Why even have a department for complaints when nothing is done? z Rotten tomatoes to the jerk in one of the townhouse complexes on Fleetwood Way who blasts an airhorn during the 7 p.m. “applause for healthcare workers” every night!

It’s one thing to clang pots or shake bells, but the airhorn freaks out my pets, and gives me severe anxiety. Clang your pots if you’re so into thanking healthcare workers.

Dog owners, sports fields are not your own personal off-leash parks The Editor, Dogs are prohibited on athletic fields everywhere to protect the health and welfare of the athletes who use the fields.

Why do dog owners purposefully disregard the welfare of those athletes and others who use the fields for their intended purpose?

It’s shocking that during the COVID-19 crisis, when people are expected to raise their social consciousness and take actions to protect the health of other people, that dog owners carry on as usual, disregarding laws that don’t suit them.

Dog owners who use athletic fields for their own private off-leash dog park and dog toilet, are breaking municipal laws. I see more than 35 dogs a week on the South Surrey Athletic fields at 20th and 148 Street.

Things are as bad or worse at Sunnyside Park.

Thirty-five dogs equal 35 piles of defecated excrement on the fields urine everywhere.

I know people think it is convenient to use the local sports field, that driving to the dog park adds unnecessary carbon to global

Surrey realtor drowns trying to save daughter in Okanagan Tom Zytaruk and Daniel Taylor Black Press Media staff

A Surrey realtor made the ultimate sacrifice on Father’s Day, drowning in rapids near an Okanagan waterfall as he tried to save his young daughter.

Despite the efforts of bystanders who attempted CPR, Sheikh died.

INFORM City council

Hundial calls for accountancy firm to pore over policing plan But Doug McCallum denies his request, deeming it out of order Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Surrey Councillor Jack Hundial presented a notice of motion at the June 15 council meeting asking that a “feasibility study,” including a cost analysis, be done by a major accounting firm on the city’s plan to swap out the Surrey RCMP for a city police department.

The idea, he said, is to “provide the council and the public with an accurate cost of transitioning from the RCMP to a municipal police force amongst this COVID-19 crisis.

“This review should include all

and any additional costs that are paid through the city’s general revenues but are attributed to police work, such as risk management.”

But Mayor Doug McCallum shot it down.

“I’m not going to allow it,” he said, and for the following reasons.

“This council on the very first day after getting elected unanimously – you included – voted to go to our Surrey police. We have had two very large reports, probably the largest reports done on police change-over certainly in Canadian history and probably in North American history,” McCallum noted.

“In those reports is full – and they were released, most of them – and the only parts that were retracted actually were by the RCMP, but those reports have full, formed disclosure of all the aspects

of our new police force, including part of your thing where you want another study done, it has the full financial analyzing of what the projected costs were.”

McCallum said council has “done” its budget, “which has been approved by the majority, with those costs in it, and also based out over five years.”

The mayor said another reason he was calling Hundial’s motion out of order is that Surrey has “already been given” its new police force, at the end of February.

“We’re just waiting for the province to appoint their representatives to the police board,” McCallum said.

Hundial responded the developments McCallum outlined were “pre-COVID, and there’s been no Order-In-Council yet in Victoria to establish Surrey police yet.”

which Hundial replied, “And I’m asking for a sharing of information please.”

Said McCallum, “The letter I will share, if it can be released by the provincial government.”

Days later, Hundial told the Now-Leader that according to Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth, “as of yet there’s been no McCallum Hundial Order-in-Council.”

“This letter that McCallum is talking about, certainly it’s not McCallum’s reply to this was, what he said it was, because there “I’m sorry to advise you, I have a letter that it has been established.” is no Order-In-Council as of yet.”

The Now-Leader has reached out Hundial then challenged him to to McCallum and B.C.’s Ministry share it with all of council.

“If the province would like me to, of Public Safety and Solicitor General for clarification.

I would be happy to,” McCallum Hope Latham, public affairs rejoined. officer for the ministry, replied in “I would like it,” Hundial said.

“Councillor Hundial, I’m not ar- an email that “No OIC has been deposited in relation to the Surrey guing, I’m ruling that this motion is out of order,” McCallum said, to police force.”

It was the Crown’s position that between June 2014 and January 2015 Badyal charged ICBC for three or more visits under the Lump Sum Program in respect to 13 patients he saw only for an initial assessment.

“The judge was not persuaded that Dr. Badyal’s evidence was true, and also found that it did not raise a reasonable doubt in her mind as to his guilt. As she was convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Dr. Badyal had committed fraud in his billings for the 11 patients, she convicted him.”

CANADA DAY

Canada Day facts and some fun history about July 1 Each year on July 1, we as Canadians celebrate the historical and cultural relevance of our country on Canada Day. To commemorate the celebration of Canada Day, here are some interesting facts about the day’s history as well as the country that we celebrate. z Canada Day celebrates the British North America Act, which united three colonies into a single country known as Canada. z In 1879, a federal law was passed to make July 1 a statutory holiday, which would be called

Dominion Day. On June 20, 1868, Governor General the Viscount Monck issued a royal proclamation asking for Canadians to “celebrate the anniversary of the confederation.” z Even though it was an official holiday, excitement around Canada Day, and the large celebrations known today, didn’t begin until the 50th and 60th anniversaries of the holiday. On the 100th anniversary of Confederation, Queen Elizabeth II attended Canada Day celebrations. z Dominion Day didn’t trans-

late well into French, and that difficulty served as a catalyst to change the name of the day.

Many Canadians had already referred to Dominion Day as Canada Day prior to the official change. z According to Reader’s Digest, most Canadians are known for their politeness, and 86 percent of us believe we live in the best country in the world. z The beaver is Canada’s national animal, and it was once proposed that a beaver appear on the redesigned Canadian flag.

z 2020 marks the 153rd celebration of Canada Day. In 2017, the 150th anniversary, known as the sesquicentennial, was met with much fanfare and special events, including a commemorative postage stamp. While Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t in attendance, her son Prince Charles and his wife, the Dutchess of Cornwall, attended the national celebration. z Parliament Hill in Ottawa has been the central point for Canada Day celebrations for nearly a decade.

Originally contracted under the RCMP, the Commissionaires have been patrolling Newton since 2014 when picked up by the Newton BIA. Commissionaires, chosen by Forbes as one of Canada’s best employers for 2020, is Canada’s largest private-sector employer of veterans and the only national not-for-profit security company.

The local unit received the Commisionnaire’s Commandants Award for Outstanding Service in 2017, and 2019.

Newton BIA Executive Director, Philip Aguirre adds, “The strength of our program is the fact that we use all of the intelligence that we gather and leverage it through the Newton Safety Unit, a weekly partner collaboration with bylaw, social services, the RCMP and the Community Centre to ensure we’re all achieving a higher level of result by working together” RCMP Cpl.

From 2016-2018, the Community Safety Patrol noticed a 41% reduction in emergency services needs, therefore reducing the strain on emergency services.

Through their BIA funded SafeRide program, local persons suffering from alcohol abuse get a free taxi ride to a sobering centre, which helps free up local emergency responders and saving the city large amounts of money.

The current team, supervisor Elvin Nigam, Lisa Ouyang, and Dominic Fricker have busy daily eight-hour days.

Weekly they meet together to discuss how to best address the homelessness, health needs and concerns of the community, including businesses in the area.

A day in the life of a Newton Commissionaire varies, Elvin says, “Essentially, it’s a lot of walking. And dependent on the day, there are meetings with the RCMP, Transit Police, and various outreach agencies. We deal with any call for service from any of the 350 plus businesses in the area, and we proactively patrol the area.

They have a kinder, more compassionate approach to the vulnerable people in the area than many other communities and cities. Elvin said, “We have a large outreach component. The

vulnerable people that we encounter in the camps know us by name, and we know them.

“At the end of the day, when you strip titles away, we’re all just human beings. It’s very easy to get caught up in your routine, your world. But, when we’re able to help, it’s the difference that we want to make”.

Jay says, “The Newton Safety Unit is out there in the streets, making it a nicer place to live. Cleaning up the graffiti, picking up the garbage, making it a place that people want to live in, that they feel safe in.”

But sometimes people run into problems that make them seem insurmountable.

Surrey’s Cat Levan realizes a dream with ‘Double Life,’ even as pandemic ruins plans Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

In the middle of a nightmare pandemic, Cat Levan realized a dream by releasing an album of music.

The Surrey singer/songwriter’s name graces Double Life, a collection of adult contemporary/jazz songs she recorded in California with producer Steve Oliver prior to the onset of COVID-19.

Levan’s debut LP was a lifetime in the making.

“When I was 18, I did a gig, playing and singing,” recalled the Fraser Heights-area resident, “and apparently there was a record label person in the audience who wanted to have me do a demo for the label, because they were interested in signing me. I was pretty young and didn’t know what to do, kind of terrified, so I just ran away and just let it die. It’s always bothered me that I never gave it a try, you know, to throw my hat in the ring and see what happens. There’s a huge amount of regret there.”

Levan runs Kickstart Communications, a branding/ marketing company nominated for Surrey Women in Business awards. She’s also been a professional fighter, restaurant owner, clothing designer, marketing director and illustrator.

Making music, it seems, became less of a priority for her as time marched on.

“Music has always been in my heart, and I can’t imagine a day without hearing it and playing it,” Levan said.

“But this, it was like jumping into the deep end of the pool without waterwings,” she added with a laugh.

Double Life began to take shape with the help of saxophonist Walle Larsson, who is married to Levan’s sister Jojo.

Family connections led to a meeting with Oliver, a contemporary-jazz man who has some hits to his credit.

“He’s a great artist,” Levan said of Oliver, “and Jojo said to me, ‘You gotta come down and meet Steve, record with him.’ So I did that, I flew down to California to meet him and I

fortable with the uncertainty of what’s going on right now.”

The pandemic scuttled Levan’s plans to perform an album-release concert this spring, so she launched the collection with an online party May 29. The night included a live performance and Q&A session.

“I had band members I was going to fly in for the live event, all that, but it couldn’t happen, so we did it on Zoom and that was a bit challenging,” Levan reported. “It was actually a lot of fun and we had people from all over North America watching, which was cool. It was slightly overwhelming, but we had a great time.”

She’s looking forward to the day when she can sing again at a local concert venue.

“I’ve been invited to do a music festival this summer, in Vancouver, and hopefully that Cat Levan says she’s looking forward to the day when she can sing again at a local happens,” Levan said. “There are some gigs around here that we’re concert venue.

Tribute bands rally to raise cash for charities in online festival Saturday Several Metro Vancouver-based tribute bands are uniting to raise money for charities during an online music festival.

The day-long Tribute Webfest 2020 is set for this Saturday (June 27), in support of a diverse number of organizations chosen by each of the nine bands involved, through Canadahelps.org.

“With the loss of live shows and festivals in the time of Covid19, we wanted to create something unique and special for all of you who are missing the live music experience,” says a post on facebook.com/tributewebfest2020, where all of the 45-minute live sets will be streamed from 1 to 8:30 p.m.

“The level of talent on the roster are some of the best musicians playing in Canada today and we’re sure the lineup will have something for everyone. There will also be an interesting list of personalities from the broadcast and music industry that will be your hosts during the event.”

The fundraising goal is $25,000 for the festival, which will feature the bands Eagle Eyes (playing music by the Eagles), Arrival (ABBA), Bad Moon Riders (CCR), The Hip Show (Tragically Hip), Fo Fighters (Foo Fighters), Reckless (Bryan Adams), Fair Warning (Van Halen), Dreams (Fleetwood Mac) and Montreal-based New World Men (Rush).

All performers are donating time to the cause, along with broadcast video director Gene Greenwood of TourBus TV, host/ co-producer Larry Hennessey (JACK 96.9), host Michael Williams (former MuchMusic VJ), tech director Jeff Scharf, and executive producer/host Joe Foley.

“Together we can show everyone the Canadian spirit is alive and well in these difficult times,” Foley says on the festival’s Facebook event page.

The supported charities are Food Banks BC, Alzheimer Society of BC, Music Heals, Pacific Parkinson’s Research Institute, Greater Vancouver Food Bank, Fondation Santé Urbaine, McGill University Health Centre Foundation, BC Cancer Foundation and The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. As well, all bands will be supporting The Frontline Fund.

SENIOR LIVING ‘Song and laughter will see you through’ Continued from A23 she grew up in.

“Brixton was known as the centre for theatrical people,” she said. “When I was little, instead of the ordinary way of going outside to play, the parents of my friend would put up a stage in the garden and we’d practise putting on shows.

“My girlfriend had an audition – it was panto time – and she said, ‘come on and audition with me.’ I was 12, that was the earliest you could get a licence to go on the stage.

We were doing acrobatics and tap dancing. We went to the audition and they booked us – and that was it.”

After that, McKilligan didn’t look back, becoming a member of the Terry’s Juveniles acrobatic dance troupe, and, as the 1930s progressed, graduated to more grown-up roles as a chorine and comedienne in popular West-End stage revues.

As a large montage of scrapbook photos and memorabilia (featured at the cel-

ebration) attests, she rubbed shoulders with some of the big names of the era in Britain, including comedian Ernie Lotinga, novelty xylophonist Teddy Brown, Savoy Hotel resident bandleader Carroll Gibbons, singers Les Allen and Ella Logan and American artists such as singer/actor Nina Mae McKinney and vaudevillian Harry Richman. “I was in a revue with him – that was all tap,” she recalled.

Those glamorous peacetime days ended when war was declared in September, 1939 – but the show went on, nonetheless.

Along with many other performers, McKilligan became a member of ENSA, which throughout the conflict sent out mini- variety shows to entertain service personnel in every theatre of the war. Inevitably, with such a vast enterprise, the talent pool was spread rather thinly, but as a professional, she was proud to be part of a “number-one” troupe, including two comedians and a

tenor, as well as the expected dancers.

As she recalled, it was a form of national service in which performers were fed and housed, but compensated no more than the equivalent of military pay.

From ENSA’s Drury Lane base they were dispatched by bus to every corner of Britain on short notice – often to ‘hush-hush’ locations of huge strategic importance, such as the Orkney Islands, where all the British Fleet was concentrated at the time.

And though she never served abroad, McKilligan recalled that Britain – through the Blitz and the terror of the V1 and V2 rocket bombs – was essentially on the front line.

“We saw more than I care to remember,” she said.

Fortunately, she said, camaraderie developed among the entertainers – and humour helped carry them through.

“Even with all the bombs you could find something funny,” she said.

monitoring and analyzing services and issues affecting seniors.

Visit seniorsadvocatebc.ca for details.

We are all living

in a period of high anxiety, distress and uncertainty as COVID-19 has upended our lives. As we grapple with the reality of COVID-19

https://www.arbormemorial.ca

restrictions that see many of us working from home, or not working at all, we also see that seniors are particularly vulnerable.

The elderly and those with underlying health conditions are at much higher risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19 and

the restrictions for self isolating can be more onerous for seniors.

Fortunately, new supports and an outpouring of goodwill promise to make things better for B.C. seniors.

The latest initiative is the Safe Seniors Strong Communities program, launched this spring. It expands the role of the 2-1-1 phone and web system to recruit volunteers and help more seniors. Within the first 48 hours, 2-1-1 had received thousands of calls from seniors needing help and volunteers willing to help.

The program is the brainchild of an all-party legislative committee that was convened by Health Minister Adrian Dix. Normally sparring across from each other in the legislature, five MLAs from all three parties came together united in the goal of ensuring the seniors of B.C. continue to get the groceries and medications they need and that they remain socially connected while self-isolating at home.

The program partners with BC211 and the Better at Home program. Now, anyone who wants to help a senior simply needs to call 2-1-1 or visit BC211.ca and register to volunteer.

They will shortly be matched with a senior in their community who needs help with getting groceries and medications or who just wants a friendly voice to talk to. Any senior who needs help can also just dial 2-1-1 or visit the website and they will receive a call within 48 hours from the local Better at Home agency and help will quickly be on its way.

Thousands of

Isobel Mackenzie, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seniors Advocate, speaks at an event in Terrace last October.

(Photo: Brittany Gervais/Black Press Media) British Columbians from every part of the province have already shown their support by registering to volunteer and undergo the necessary criminal record review to ensure we are protecting vulnerable seniors. As a result, thousands of seniors have had wellness checks, groceries delivered and reassuring chats with caring volunteers.

If you are reading this and have not yet volunteered or if you need help, pick up the phone or log onto the website now and join this growing movement that is connecting seniors with caring volunteers in their community on a daily basis.

COVID-19 is particularly difficult for seniors. The case for staying at home is compelling for us all, but for seniors, even outings for the essentials should be avoided. Home isolation is a sacrifice for all of us, however seniors are much more likely to live alone and have no one else at home to share the burden. However, we have undoubtedly lifted the spirits of many seniors by demonstrating how much we care about their health and well-being.

When the need for staying at home became necessary there was an immediate rush of people reaching out to their

elderly neighbours and family members, checking to see they had what was needed. Elected officials at all levels of government have been consistent in expressing their concerns for the most vulnerable, namely seniors. Retailers are taking pains to dedicate special opening hours exclusively for seniors and the Safe Seniors, Strong Communities program has built on this foundation of exceptional goodwill.

When COVID-19 is behind us, many say we will be living in a changed world. The degree to which that is true remains to be seen.

One legacy that will last however is the thousands of new friendships that will have developed between volunteers and the seniors they have helped. The chats on the phone will inevitably turn to chats over a cup of tea and we will have chipped away at the isolation and loneliness that many seniors experience.

We will get through this together and we will come out stronger on the other side.

How proud we will be when we realize that, when called upon, we found our compassion and humanity and we showed the seniors in our community how much they are loved and cherished.

Tips to protect our loved ones from harm of financial abuse Approximately 10 per cent of Canadian seniors are victims of consumer fraud each year, according to the Canadian Department of Justice.

Although these fraudsters are sometimes strangers, sadly it quite often is someone in their trusted circle such as a family member, friend, neighbour or caregiver.

“It’s unfortunate that some seniors are targeted as a result of their increased vulnerability; they may have declining physical or mental health and are likely self-isolating as a result of COVID19,” said Kevin Haarhoff, an investigator with the corporate security team at Envision Financial.

To mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15, Haarhoff recommended these tips to protect the seniors in your life.

Be involved During these unprecedented times, when visits with loved ones are far and few between – or not permitted at all due to physical distancing protocols – it can become increasingly easy for seniors to become even more isolated.

Not only can this take an emotional toll, but it also increases their vulnerability to fraud by creating an opportunity for fraudsters to build a trusting relationship with their victim for financial gain.

IN YOUR

Reminding seniors of the importance of not giving out personal or financial information to people you don’t know or over the phone is an important first step. (Submitted photo) “Being an active participant in the lives of loved ones will help you detect signs of abuse early,” Haarhoff said. “It is important to be aware of who they interact with on a regular basis in case the relationship is having a negative impact. Ask questions if they are acting unusual and trust your instincts if you feel that something is not right.”

Discuss often Reminding the older adults in your life of the importance of not giving out personal or financial information to people you don’t know or over the phone is an important first step.

However, by simply opening the financial and fraud prevention dialogue, you

build rapport and make it more likely your loved one will reach out to you if there is ever a concern that needs to be addressed.

“Having discussions about fraud prevention is an important subject to broach,” Haarhoff said. “Having these conversations early and often could provide the older adults in your life the knowledge they need to identify a potential fraud or scam if they are ever faced with one.”

Country artists release song in memory of Snowbirds pilot Casey Ryan Uytdewilligen Black Press Media

Brian John Harwood and Dustin Bird have gathered their friends in the music industry to deliver a new single, “Together We’re Strong.”

The video for the track is in memory of Capt. Jennifer Casey and features clips from the Royal Canadian Air Forces’ Snowbirds and of Casey herself, who was excited about spreading inspiration across Canada through her work on this project.

“We were devastated to learn of the tragic loss of Capt.

Casey,” Bird said.

“As Canadians, we wanted to use the power of music to encourage and bring people together in a time of adversity.”

Proceeds from the track will be donated to the Unison Benevolent Fund, a Canadian music industry charity whose mission is to help professional music-makers in times of hardship, illness or economic difficulties.

The duo cowrote the track, which features 18 Canadian country artists, including Aaron Pritchett, Cory Marks, Jason McCoy, Alee, and Jason Blaine, among many others, including both Harwood and Bird.

“Staying positive together is the one thing that we have the power of doing.

Unity is strength,” added Harwood, of the band Kansas Stone.

As the live music and touring industry has come screeching to a halt, many artists are struggling

Dustin Bird, a Country Music Association of Ontario Rising Star nominee, is among voices on the song “Together, We’re Strong.” to find ways to keep the music playing during the time of COVID-19.

Harwood and Bird said the project works to uplift everyone including other artists, fans and the worldwide country community, while raising funds for those struggling within the music industry.

Amanda Power, Unison’s executive director, added that now more than ever, members of our music community are depending on Unison’s COVID-19 Relief Program.

“Thanks to the generous efforts of the artists involved, every dollar raised from ‘Together We’re Strong’ will allow us to provide direct relief for music-makers and music professionals during this difficult time,” Power explained.

To donate, people can text UNISON to 45678 or visit unisonfund.ca, where donations will be matched by Spotify.

Since the release of the song, there have been nearly 60,000 streams on Spotify and more than 20,000 video views.

Minor soccer and baseball are among minor sports back in action with limited interaction, following a threemonth shutdown of activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The spirit’s back in the park, so that’s good to see,” Surrey United technical director Jeff Clarke said about the soccer club’s return to practice at Cloverdale Athletic Park, as of Wednesday, June 17.

Some 1,200 players on 50 teams are involved in skills sessions at the park, he said.

“Last week was a little awkward with everything, to make it perfect, but every day it’s gotten a little easier,” Clarke explained. “It’s just about being orderly and cognizant of spacial distance and not being in certain areas. They’re not scrimmaging yet, they’re working on their skills, and a lot of the drills are the exact same. The only change might be that with the lineups, the players are spaced out more, things like that. There are some rules to follow.”

On the diamond, local organizations are set to play ball in an equally limited way.

“It’s only the single-season teams right now, because we cancelled our spring season,” Mike Dance, president of Cloverdale Minor Baseball Associa-

to get some hand sanitizer to teams, some administrative work to do before getting on the field, but we’re getting close. Hopefully we’ll have some of the players on the field again this week.”

Right now, only a few dozen of the association’s players are returning to practice, Dance said.

“We’re hoping to expand on those numbers as we move forward, but because the spring season had run its course and had to be cancelled, we’re going to open registration for some more divisions and hopefully more players will want to come out,” Dance said.

New rules include efforts to encourage physical distancing in all areas of the baseball diamond.

“Things like team meetings on the field aren’t happening, and no handshakes and high-fives, all that sort of stuff is not allowed,” Dance explained.

Coaches must be more organized with practice plans, too, he said, “because only 10 players and two coaches can be on the field at the same time. Some teams, they have to set up almost two different practices with two groups of kids, and we’re hoping that gets expanded. It’s such a fluid situation, and things are changing day to day, and we’re supposed to hear more about the province’s Phase 3 plans later this week, so it all might change again.”

WHL Giants named in lawsuit

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against the Canadian Hockey League and its member teams – including the Langley-based Vancouver Giants – alleging ritualized hazing, widespread physical and sexual abuse, and other trauma caused to young players in the major junior hockey league over a period of years.

In a statement of claim filed in Toronto courts last week, Koskie Minsky LLP alleges systemic abuse suffered by teenagers playing in the Canadian major junior hockey leagues dating back at least four decades, lead lawyer James Sayce told Black Press Media.

The lawsuit also alleges racism, homophobia, and violence against players as young as 15.

The allegations have not been proven in court.

After “many months” of preparation, the suit was filed in Ontario Superior Court of Justice Thursday against the Canadian Hockey League and its three member organizations — the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League — as well as some 60 teams that play under the CHL umbrella.

The lawsuit seeks damages for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract, and a declaration that the teams and the leagues are vicariously liable for abuse perpetrated by their employees and players.

“A case like this is quite complicated,” Sayce said.

The lawsuit was filed by former NHL player Daniel Carcillo and former WHL player Garrett Taylor, but the lawyer alleges the problem is much bigger and broader than that.

Taylor played in the Western Hockey League from 2008-10 with the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Prince Albert Raiders. He claims abuse while in Lethbridge at the age of 17, and said he too has never gotten over it, requiring hospitalization after leaving the WHL. In the claim, he indicates coaches and team officials were aware of the abuse and some actually participated in it.

The current head coach of the Langley-based Vancouver Giants, Michael Dyck, was a coach in Lethbridge during the time in question.

“I don’t have any comment on Mr. Dyck or Michael Dyck. We’re just alleging a systemic claim here… We’re not going after or seeking to sue individual coaches or wrong-doers or players.

This is a case about systemic wrongdoing,” Sayce said. with files from The Canadian Press

HALWAS, Reg

Business Opportunities

June 18, 1932 - June 10, 2020 Reg passed peacefully at the age of 87 at George Derby Ctr, Burnaby BC. He was the youngest son born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to the late August & Nettie Hallwas & predeceased by brothers Rudy, John, Gus, Joseph & sisters Mary & Ruth. Reg was predeceased by his wife of 55 years Sophie (2007).

DAVISON - looking for investors. Ideas Wanted! 1800-218-2909

He will be greatly missed by daughters Glenda SteďŹ&#x201E;er (Steve) & Shelley Montgomery (Peter). Reg was proud of granddaughters Amaris Sayle (Rob) & Regis Montgomery and 3 great grandsons Hunter, Ethan, and Gunnar.

Reg was a hard worker. If you needed something ďŹ xed, cars or household projects, he was the man family and friends called upon. Reg left school at an early age to start exploring future jobs. After falling logs in Surrey & 1 season on the Princess Louise, Reg started his auto body career at Fogg Motors, in New Westminster, BC. His solid customer service & attention to detail, helped him rise to be the Shop Manager until retiring in 1983. Preparing for retirement, Reg & Sophie spent the warmer seasons maintaining & improving their Spruce Grove Mobile Home Park in Vanderhoof, BC. Before the frosts they headed back to enjoy time with family and friends in Surrey, then went south to enjoy many winters in Arizona. Reg loved to drive which included multiple cross Canada journeys to connect with friends and family. With co-pilot Sophie they enjoyed adventures to Mexico, the USA, Ukraine, British Isles, Cuba and Grand Cayman.

Due to current restrictions, a private service for immediate family was held at First Memorial Funeral Services Fraser Heights Chapel followed by interment at Valley View Cemetery.

A Celebration of Life will be announced after restrictions have been lifted. Email glenda.steffler@gmail.com for details.

In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations in Regâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, can be made to the charity of your choice.

“We won’t be able to celebrate the way that our older siblings have, Surrey Schools Superintendent or the people in Grade 11 right Jordan Tinney says “there’s no now. We’re not going to be able question it isn’t grad as normal” to celebrate like they’re going to this year.

As the COVID-19 pandemic set celebrate.”

Then June 1, a hybrid form of in, and in-class instruction was in-class learning started up again suspended indefinitely in March, and with it came the opportunity graduates throughout Surrey for grad ceremonies – but unlike wondered if they’d be able to any year before. celebrate the milestone with their While the dinner/dance and classmates. dry grad events still aren’t possiGraduation, which can include ble due to limits on gatherings, the commencement ceremonies, schools still managed to rework a dinner/dance and dry grad, is commencement ceremonies to celsomething that many students look forward to for years and start ebrate the grads.

“We’ve got everything from outdoors to, of course, the volunteer church in the south, we have limited numbers in gyms, we’ve got one in which they’re doing a drive-through with the grads,” said Tinney.

“Grad is a special moment, but it’s very different and looks very different all across the district this year.”

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has also addressed the 2020 graduating class on several occasions, telling them to look at this experience as a unique and historic one.

“Reaching this milestone during an unprecedented global pandemic, shows that British Columbia’s class of 2020 has the resiliency to take on anything,” she said in June. “I know this has been a challenging time, but there are so many exciting adventures ahead.

Be kind. Be calm. Be safe.”

Sian Evans, Guildford Learning Centre grad, is cheered on following the school’s commencement on June 15 at Peace Portal Alliance Church in South Surrey, which has been offering its space for Surrey grads amid the COVID-19 pandemic. (Photo: Lauren Collins)

Well graduates we made it; a few weeks late, and a global pandemic later, but we’re here. The first rule of success is to have a vision. Lucky for us, our vision is 20/20. You see without vision you are just drifting. Even the best ship in the world will diverge from its path if the captain doesn’t know where to go. Worse yet, it might hit an iceberg, and we all know how that story goes.

I won’t claim to know everyone personally, because I don’t, but this school of ours has connected us forever. After leaving these four secure walls, Tamanawis pride will shine from within us. We’ll remember epic dance vibes, ear kissing band concerts, and roaring sports games. Over these five years we may have only sat with each other once, or walked past each other in the hallway once in a while, but our paths have crossed and the love for our school binds us. Tamanawis Secondary has taught us to accept people as they are no matter where they come from because everyone deserves a chance. Life is a learning curve, not a test, so take as much time as you need to figure out what you really want. The world will change you in ways you can’t imagine? I mean look at yourselves now. Are you the same as you were when you walked into high school in grade 8? We have been through so much over the years but don’t let that weigh you down, let it push you forward. We entered the world during the mourning of 9/11 and the outbreak of SARS and are graduating during another pandemic and the dawn of Tik Tok. We can endure anything.

Finally, I ask that you follow your dreams and do what makes you feel happy. The world needs more dreamers! Class of 2020, strive to be the best version of yourselves, soar through the turbulence and live life because you are a wildcat.

‘Caring Community, Engaged Learners, Inspired Citizens’ Congratulations Grads. Thank you all!! This message is a Cole’s note version of my yearbook message. Commencement is an important ritual that is shared by the entire family. So the Commencement format we chose to use in this unique year was to involve family as much as possible. The page you are currently reading is unique also. We wanted to create a Tamanawis Page honouring our grads. PAC also wanted to support this initiative and we thank them as well. We wanted to create a little something extra for our 2020 graduates, as we all know that this year, we have had to forego some traditions.

Our graduates were/are leaders in many ways. The first 2/3 of the school year was fabulous and very successful. From many academic achievements, and extra-curricular activities, these were found in both school, district and provincial level successes. Continued volunteerism at school and the community at large is amazing and in many cases led by seniors - second to none in Surrey. Then we were confronted with a virus and International Pandemic. We were faced with a situation that forces us all to look at the continuity of our students’ education in a different way. All the staff, students and parents have worked together to create an educational envelope to move our students forward. We knew that the grade 12 students had the most concerns, but quickly showed us they also had the most resilience and understanding. Your leadership and example has been paramount in Tamanawis’ success in getting through the school year. Again thank you graduates. I must also thank all the staff and parents who supported our students through this unique time. We have all learned together. We are even more confident that you will all move forward in positive ways. I believe the resilience you have shown us and support of each other are fabulous traits you will carry on to your next adventure. We have seen the grads pull together in unique ways, unlike any previous graduating class I have been associated with. You are now Alumni, we are proud of you!!

Especially the Class of 2020!

All the very best to you all. Mr. K. De Boice Proud Principal

C L AY T O N H E I G H T S S E C O N DA RY Grads of 2020 forever you will be special to us. We watched you grow physically, emotionally and intellectually and the staff is as proud of your accomplishments as your family and friends. I am very confident that you leave our school ready for the years ahead and secure knowing that you are now in charge of my future!

You are stepping out into a world that is very different from that of your parents at the same PRINCIPAL PRINCIPAL age. So many things have changed James Johnston Bal Ranu in the past 15 years let alone when your parents left high school. The events of the past two months changed how we view the world. The good news is that you now have the opportunity to show people that you are a forward thinker with knowledge, skills and talent. I am sure that your time at CHS has equipped you in some way to make a positive impact in our world. You will have limitless chances to make a difference in some very small or perhaps an enormous way. I have every confidence you will rise to challenges and focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t.

So often we focus on why we cannot accomplish some deed. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better. I hope you will move into a world of possibilities, a mind-set of ‘what ifs’ rather than ‘why nots’. Every advancement we make is because someone liberated their way of thinking. There might be many reasons why something doesn’t change, but the most dangerous and harmful reason is ‘because it’s always been that way’. Graduates, I encourage you to become someone who dwells in the possibilities, who sees potential and not problems. Your diploma is your ticket to change the world.

May you achieve all that we wish for you in your own way, with honesty and integrity and that your future is be so bright that we will be dazzled by your light.

Congratulations and best wishes.
