B.C. voters get set to head to the polls Provincial election will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24 SANDOR GYARMATI

He’s ready to again bring the common sense of a farmer back to Victoria.

That’s what Ian Paton said Monday following Premier John Horgan calling a provincial election for Oct. 24, a year ahead of the one that had been scheduled.

So far, Paton is the only declared candidate in Delta South.

Paton said he is shocked by the NDP’s decision to call “a reckless and irresponsible” election under a provincial state of emergency and in the middle of a global health pandemic.

“Instead of governing until the next fixed election date, John Horgan has decided to play politics and risk the health and safety of our province by calling this needless election. This is a time when we need leadership in Victoria, not electioneering. By calling this election, the NDP has eroded trust in their integrity and ability to govern impartially,” said Paton.

“Locally, my campaign team is ready to go and I will be working hard over the next month to win the support of

deliver on key projects for our community, including the previously promised

replacement for Mountain View Manor extended care ward at Delta Hospital, and a replacement for the aging and seismically unsafe Massey Tunnel. In addition, the NDP has implemented 23 new or increased taxes, increasing the tax burden on local residents and businesses at a time when many are just struggling to stay afloat,” he said.

“I’m ready to fight and work for the people of Delta South once again, and return the common sense of a farmer back to Victoria,” he added.

A farmer and former city councillor, Paton in the 2017 election took back the riding of Delta South for the Liberals, which had been a stronghold held for two terms by independent Vicki Huntington before she stepped down.

At just over 44 per cent of the vote, Paton finished with 11,123 votes, well ahead of independent Nicholas Wong who finished with 6,437 votes. The NDP’s Bruce Reid had just 5,228 votes, while Green candidate Larry Colero finished with 2,349 votes and the B.C. Action Party’s Errol Sherley finished with 88 votes.

RE-ELECT

IAN PATON Fighting for Delta, working for you.

Opportunity for all of BC Dear South Delta, It has been my honour to serve as your MLA for the past three and a half years. This job has been a challenging and rewarding experience.

Since the NDP took power in 2017, I have become increasingly concerned with the lack of action on key files for members of our community. After years of studies and empty promises, there has been no action on the George Massey Tunnel replacement. This urgently needed infrastructure project has been in limbo for years while thousands of tons of sand have gathered weeds and thistles on the side of Highway 17.

Further, the NDP have implemented 23 new or increased taxes, increasing the tax burden on local residents and businesses at a time when many are just struggling to stay afloat.

On top of this, the NDP's decision to call a reckless and irresponsible snap election under a provincial state of emergency and in the middle of a global health pandemic shows a shocking lack of judgement.

We need to foster opportunity for all in BC by getting back to the basics of good government – lower taxes, support for small businesses, and a plan to rebuild our economy from the ground up.

I'm ready to fight and work for the people of Delta South once again, and return the common sense of a farmer back to Victoria.

Mayor George Harvie will ask his colleagues at Metro Vancouver to issue a request for better, more frequent COVID-19 data.

Saying they’ll have a better chance as a group of mayors asking for the data rather than a request from just one municipality, Harvie told the Optimist he’ll put forward a motion at the board of directors next meeting on Oct. 2 for more frequently updated numbers when it comes to COVID-19 cases locally.

“What we need is

better information and more timely information to deal with this risk.

Delta has done an exceptional job but this risk is everywhere,” he said.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control this week released its latest municipal-level data on how many people had been diagnosed with the disease in their local communities.

The data shows the numbers from January to the end of August among the communities in all the health authorities. It showed Delta had 101 cases during that period.

The BCCDC says the numbers will be updated monthly.

Noting those numbers can be out of date, Harvie during last week’s council’s discussion, said he’s bringing forward a motion for weekly, and even more specific, local numbers.

Coun. Dylan Kruger agreed, but cautioned that thousands of Delta residents work outside the city, while many from other cities work in Delta, so there could be a limit to the usefulness of the data.

Harvie also noted that as the number of confirmed cases grows, more people are being tested at the Fraser Health testing centre in the Ladner civic pre-

cinct, which now has long lineups.

Fraser Health last week declared an outbreak at Delta Hospital after evidence of transmission in a medicine unit.

According to the health region, two patients had tested positive but the outbreak was limited to the one unit.

KinVillage confirmed that one of two residents in the South Court complex who tested positive for the virus passed away, and this Tuesday confirmed a third resident tested positive.

An outbreak there was declared earlier after one staff member tested positive.

Last week also saw the first confirmed case of COVID-19 at a Delta school, one person at Delta Secondary.

McDonald’s Canada on Friday confirmed two employees at its restaurant on Cliveden Avenue in Delta tested positive.

McDonalds said that out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made immediately to shut down the restaurant for a thorough cleaning and sanitization by a certified third party.

Meanwhile, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 at the Tsawwassen First Nation prompted the TFN to set up a checkpoint.

Pandemic election will be unlike any other CONTINUED from Page 1

Meanwhile, in the riding of Delta North, New Democrat newcomer Ravi Kahlon defeated Liberal incumbent Scott Hamilton in that election.

Kahlon finished with 11,465 votes, more than 2,000 ahead of Hamilton, winning over 48 per cent of the vote in the riding.

Kahlon announced last week that he will also seek re-election in Delta North.

On Tuesday morning, the Liberals announced that RCMP staff sergeant and youth mentor Jet Sunner would be their candidate in the riding.

The Liberals won the most seats prov-

ince-wide with 43 compared the NDP’s 41, but the New Democrats under new leader Horgan formed a minority government with the support of the Green Party’s three seats under leader Andrew Weaver.

One of the first moves by the new government was to suspend and ultimately cancel the Liberal government’s George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, a new 10-lane bridge that was commencing construction and scheduled for completion in 2022.

The government later this year will release its business case on a preferred tunnel replacement option.

Another COVID-19 case at KinVillage SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

A third resident at the KinVillage assisted living complex has tested positive for COVID-19.

KinVillage confirmed Tuesday the most recent positive case, a resident living on the second floor in South Court, was identified on Sept. 17

and is now being closely monitored and supported by staff.

Since the outbreak in South Court was declared on Sept. 3, one staff member and three residents tested positive.

Sadly, one resident has died.

KinVillage Association, in a news release, notes the third

case triggered a testing of all the residents living on the second floor as a precautionary measure as directed by the medical health officer, but there are no other symptomatic residents and staff as of Tusday.

Results from testing of residents on the third and second floors have all come back nega-

tive for COVID-19 and results from testing of staff have also all come back negative.

“These results are very encouraging but a word of caution as we also know how quickly circumstances can change with this very contagious disease. All restrictive measures, including visits, remain

in place at South Court,” the news release states.

The duration of the outbreak is typically 28 days after the last case, which in this instance, would be Sept. 17, and at the discretion of the medical health officer, KinVillage notes.

KinVillage adds they are grateful for the dedication and skills of staff, which has been augmented by additional expertise and significant resources from Fraser Health.

The other residences West Court/Care Home,

North Court and Vidal Court - are not affected by the outbreak in South Court.

“We will continue to provide information and regular updates, particularly to those most directly impacted by this outbreak – Assisted Living residents, their families, and our staff.

We thank everyone for their patience and support as we manage this situation and focus on our priority of ensuring the safety of those we serve as well as our staff.”

Delta may soon ban plastic bags SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

A plastic bag ban could be on the horizon for the City of Delta.

The province recently announced it is moving to approve bylaws banning single-use plastics for the municipalities of Richmond, Victoria, Saanich, Tofino and Ucluelet, clearing the way for those communities to implement their bans.

The province will also consider other bylaws as they are submitted.

Last fall, Delta council took steps to reduce the use of single-use plastic items at civic facilities, but didn’t go so far as to introduce a bylaw to ban plastic bags unless the province gave the goahead.

Seaquam Secondary students Carroll Gao, Rayne Inkster and Ashley

Meagher last year gave a presentation to council on their “Ban the Bag Delta” campaign.

They noted there are alternatives to plastic bags including biodegradable bags, paper bags and reusable bags. Wanting the city to implement a plastic ban bag, they said such a ban won’t be easy as it requires a change in people’s behaviour.

A Delta staff report at the time said local governments, including Delta, lobbied senior levels of government for action given the uncertainty regarding municipal jurisdiction to regulate single-use plastics.

There was announcements by the federal and provincial governments indicating actions would be taken to reduce the number of single-use items, so staff recom-

mended support for actions identified in the province’s Plastics Action Plan: Policy Consultation Paper, including reducing single-use plastics at Delta’s facilities and community events.

“Given the recent attention to this issue at the federal and provincial level, it appears as though a coordinated approach, including province-wide regulations, is now likely.

During discussion at the committee meeting, the benefits of a coordinated approach to regulating single-use items was noted. The example of Scott Road in North Delta was provided where businesses across the street from each other could potentially have different regulations related to single-use items if managed by municipal bylaws,” the report noted.

Delta to take action against hemp grower SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The City of Delta will be taking action against a controversial Tsawwassen farm that is growing industrial hemp.

The city has been flooded with complaints from residents near the farm in the 5700-block of 6th Avenue, formerly referred to as the Guichon property, but now owned by a numbered company, which homeowners say is creating a nauseating odour.

The property, immediately east of the Forest by the Bay subdivision and adjacent to the Southlands and Beach Grove Golf Club, has a licence from Health Canada that allows the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp.

Mayor George Harvie at council last week said

a report will be prepared on serving legal notice to the operator leasing the land as well as the owner.

He added Health Canada did not consult the municipality before issuing the licence.

“I visited the site not just by Forest by the Bay but also down in the residential areas in Boundary Bay and the odour, strong odour, from the growing of hemp from this specific property, which in not in the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve) as council knows, is just intolerable.

I’m very concerned that the federal government provided a licence without checking with the city to ensure that it’s matching with our zoning, which it is not,” Harvie said.

Coun. Dylan Kruger also wondered how the licence was issued without municipal approval, saying the city’s bylaw

stipulates such activity is not allowed at the property.

Coun. Alicia Guichon agreed, saying other farmers in Delta try to be good neighbours.

The city had already imposed a strict new set of zoning conditions for the 18-hectare (45-acre) site, which is zoned agricultural but not in the ALR. Much to the ire of nearby residents, the owner a couple of years ago indicated a greenhouse complex would be constructed.

The city imposed a stop work order on site clearing because proper permits weren’t in place.

The property at the time was also listed for sale, with a real estate firm advertising the site had the potential to be rezoned to residential as it isn’t in the ALR.

Editor’s Note

I

IAN JACQUES

t has been just a little over a week since the news of the passing of former Delta Mayor and consummate volunteer Doug Husband.

The tributes that have come into our newsroom from all walks of life in our community have been poignant and heartfelt.

I wasn’t surprised in the slightest, however, as Doug was loved, respected and I dare say a giant in our community.

In his political life he helped shape many facets of the community and doubled down on that through his volunteer and philanthropic efforts once his political life ended.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Doug last year at his home. I met his wonderful wife Maureen and we sat in their dining room for a chat about his new book Community Comments based upon the columns he wrote for the Optimist.

It was a wonderful chat, albeit short, as Doug was already experiencing breathing problems due to his deteriorating health. We then moved outside for a photo in their lovely garden and Doug smiled wide for the camera. It was a lovely moment that I will always cherish.

Fast forward a few months later and I was honoured to be amongst the who’s who of Deltans at the annual Hats off to Excellence awards where the Delta Chamber of Commerce named Doug its Citizen of the Year – an honour so richly deserved.

I was in awe of the outpouring of love in the Tsawwassen Springs ballroom that rainy November evening. Doug’s impact in our community was on display as we all sat and listened to him thank the community and his family.

Quite frankly Doug, it is you who we should be thanking.

Doug, rest easy knowing that your heart, soul and legacy will forever be with us as we continue to shape Delta in a way we know that you will be proud of.

How do you hold an election during a pandemic? Carefully

W

ell, here we go again – it’s election season, and we’re off to the races!

With the recent election in New Brunswick, there must be renewed optimism that an election can be held without the world ending shortly thereafter. Extra precautions are taken, marks on the floor inside and out must be respected, wear your mask and use the hand sanitizer, please.

The question about needing an election is irrelevant now, we are having one. The degree to which we need to be concerned about it is a different story, because we don’t know what the next few weeks will bring. But if there is one thing I do know, Elections BC is ready, just like always, to make sure a safe, secure and democratic election will be held, and anyone that is eligible and wants to will be given the opportunity to vote.

I’ve written here about working other elections, both Federal and Provincial, but obviously this one is going to be very different.

There will be a week’s worth

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

of Advance Polling days – Oct. 15 to 21 - as well as the big day on Oct. 24, a Saturday no less.

There will be plenty of opportunity to vote in a nearly empty room, as long as you don’t wait until the last hour on the 24th to cast your ballot. Don’t want to go to a polling station? You can vote by mail.

For Elections BC, this has not come out of the blue. The planning for a potential election happens well in advance, because when it’s called, it doesn’t have the luxury of figuring it out, it has to start planning the execution. Materials have to be printed and people in place to make an election happen.

Now that it’s been called, the

wheels are in motion.

First up is hiring folks to work the advance polls and then Election Day. And lots of people will be required, because there needs to be a lot of redundancy. If you are sick on a day you are supposed to work, don’t even think of coming in, so there needs to be a lot of back-up ready to go.

Having worked elections in almost every role since 2011, I think they have me on speed dial. It’s a hard job finding people to be part of an election, it’s a long, tiring day (or days at the advance polls). But in my experience, it is incredibly rewarding.

Depending on your polling station, you get to see all your neighbours, meet lots of people and participate in something that people the world over envy.

A peaceful continuation or transition of power, based on the will of the people. Pandemic or not, it’s happening.

More options needed Editor: Our concern is that Delta is not adhering to MoE, which said students must be given an option to remote learning while being attached to your brick and mortar school.

(This has been supported

by BCCPAC). We are not given this choice.

HomeQuest and homeschooling detaches and isolates our children from their peers, school community and teachers with a year long commitment.

Delta PAC has not once responded to any parent emails, along with school trustees. BCCPAC has told Delta parents to keep pushing on our end,

but no one is responding.

We are told to call our principal. They tell us their hands are tied because the district makes the decision. The district informed us that there aren’t any more options.

We are navigating a pandemic. Nothing is normal, so why aren’t they adjusting and listening to parents?

HomeQuest numbers have jumped by the hundreds so has homeschooling. This has to show for something.

Health guidelines orientation was Thursday and Friday of last week.

Parents are told to leave our over heightened, anxi-

ety suffering children and move along. Many parents asked for any information, none was provided.

It’s a need to know basis.

Parents aren’t aware of what updates were made at what school, information is needed to make decisions, especially ones that were given the transitional option to placate us from advocacy. None of this is correct. Forcing parents and children out of our school community is wrong. Why does the school district have a decision in our children’s lives?

I hope there is another option provided by the district.

memberships and generous donations have sustained it since 1991.

I have been involved with DHS for more than 10 years, in many different volunteer roles: reception, therapeutic touch, vigils, helping the nursing staff and assisting counsellors with various programs.

In addition, Delta Hospice offers relaxation circles, restorative yoga, music therapy and counselling for adults and children.

It is these support services that the Take Back Delta Hospice (TBDH) group is fighting for.

Although Fraser Health will take control of the hospice services at the Irene Thomas Hospice in February 2021, the Supportive Care Centre, where the support pro-

grams and counselling are held, will not be funded. These services are greatly appreciated by the families, those who are bereaved, and those facing life altering health challenges. All of this has been offered free of charge to our residents and their families. TBDH wants to ensure our community continues to have access to these specialized programs.

Take Back Delta Hospice is extremely grateful for the wonderful community support, and we urge you to become a DHS member in order to continue serving all Deltans.

This thank you is long overdue

Editor: I wish to especially thank the two young ladies that helped me when I fell and broke my right leg at Tsawwassen Mills parking lot on Saturday, Aug. 15. I really appreciate you calling 911. And staying with me until they arrived.

It is so nice that there are still such kind people willing to help others out.

I hope you see this.

A thank you also goes out to Delta Fire Dept., BC Ambulance, and Delta Hospital for the care I received from them.

Editor: Re: Hospice has never been Christian based (letters, Sept. 10) As a long term volunteer with Delta Hospice Society (DHS), I agree with Rev. Jim Short, DHS was never a Christian organization.

Since MAID was made legal in Canada, our provincial government has asked all non-faith based hospices to allow individuals who are facing the end of life the opportunity of choice. Contrary to what the existing board of directors of Delta Hospice Society want, we are not a faith-based hospice and the community it serves has declared their desire to be given this choice.

It’s a deal that’s been in the works for years, but this week the City of Delta and Metro Vancouver finally made it official.

The city announced it has expanded the land area of the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area by adding five additional land parcels, comprising more than 321 hectares (793 acres).

The inclusion and protection of the additional lands is the successful result of many years of effort and collaboration between several key players, led by the city and regional district, with input and cooperation from the federal and provincial governments, a news release states.

The newly added lands will be jointly owned

by Delta and Metro and will be maintained and operated the same way as the rest of the properties under protection in the conservancy area.

Metro has operational control of the conversancy area but Delta plays a key role in maintaining and enhancing the wetland through improvements to its hydrology.

Included into the conservancy area is the Delta Nature Reserve, which had been under the sole jurisdiction of Delta.

It’s the only publicly accessible portion of the bog and will continue

Metro Vancouver is taking operational control of the Delta Nature Reserve from the City of Delta.

the natural beauty of our region through the Regional Parks Land Acquisition Strategy for the benefit of current and future generations,” said John McEwen, Chair of Metro’s Regional Parks Committee.

Metro Chair Sav Dhaliwal said the regional district and Delta are collaborating on extensive restoration efforts to significantly enhance the bog’s ecological service, a key part of efforts to maintain Metro’s corporate carbon neutral status and make the region more resilient to climate change.

In 2004, four partners - federal, provincial, regional and municipal governments - jointly purchased 2,042 hectares (5,045 acres) of Burns Bog to be protected as an ecological conservancy area.

to provide educational opportunities.

“The addition of these lands to the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area is another positive step towards Delta’s commitment to restore and preserve Burns Bog for future generations. The bog plays an integral role in our ecosystem and environment and is treasured by residents of not only our community, but the entire region,” said Mayor George Harvie.

“Greenspaces are central to our region’s character – they protect sensitive ecosystems from development pressure and gives us places to connect with nature, de-stress and breathe fresh air. Our long-time partnership with the City of Delta to expand and protect Burns Bog truly helps us to protect

LBA asks Delta to further expand patio policy SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Delta council has unanimously agreed to continue the city’s expanded patio policy indefinitely.

The city will also support the safe winterization of patios on city property.

The expanded patio program allows restaurants and cafés to serve more people by creating new physically distanced tables outdoors.

According to the city, 13 restaurants, cafés, pubs and breweries across Delta, so far, have

taken advantage of the expanded patio program.

With the additional certainty provided by the program’s extension, combined with the city’s ability to approve patios quickly, that number could continue to increase, the city notes.

According to Restaurants Canada, roughly 10 per cent of the country’s food service businesses have already permanently closed due to the impacts of COVID19, and most others are still losing money.

More than half of respondents to a survey that Restaurants Canada

conducted during the summer said they are continuing to operate at a loss and expect to take at least a year to return to profitability.

In a letter to Delta council, Ladner Business Association president Jill McKnight said the city’s extension of the patio program will strengthen the confidence of business owners to make investments in infrastructure for the winterization of outdoor seating areas including tents, roofs and heaters.

The support of local government is imperative as business owners

Noting the continued use of expanded patios will provide safe and engaging spaces, the LBA is asking the city to consider expanding the policy to other retail uses. will incur significant costs for the infrastructure with no guarantee of return on investment, she said.

“The LBA also supports this motion being expanded to include retail uses, in addition to food and beverage services, so that all local businesses feel supported in their efforts

to thrive and to find innovative solutions for creating vibrant retail districts,” she said.

“It is our hope that with the extension of the expanded patio program, more businesses, particularly those in the food services industry, will choose to engage in the expanded patio program and that we continue to

see an increase in the vibrancy of our business districts.”

McKnight noted the LBA recognizes the need for continued discussion as city staff addresses the concerns of community members, as well as those of the business owners, and the association is confident that a balance can be achieved.

Windset partners with province on energy project SANDOR GYARMATI s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Windset Farms’ greenhouse operation in Ladner is partnering with the province on a major energy efficiency project.

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy announced Thursday that the province is contributing $355,000 to the project through the CleanBC Industry Fund, enabling the huge vegetable greenhouse to grow using just half the amount of natural gas to heat the facility, thus lowering its carbon footprint and increasing its energy efficiency.

The project will install a retractable thermal curtain at one of the company’s greenhouses to trap heat in low-light conditions during cloudy days and at night.

“By working together

with B.C. growers, we’re investing in more sustainable ways to produce local food that decrease our reliance on fossil fuels, reduce pollution and support good jobs for people,” said Minister George Heyman.

The partnership with Windset Farms is expected to reduce nearly 26,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent over the next decade, the ministry notes, adding it is roughly the same as taking more than 9,000 cars off the road for a year “Growers in B.C.’s food industry are leading the way forward on climate change by investing in cleaner operations that increase energy efficiency, reduce emissions and sustain good jobs for people,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “This project is an excellent example

of B.C. growers working with government to provide sustainable solutions for a market that is increasingly looking for high-quality products with a lower carbon impact.”

The project is part of the CleanBC Industry Fund, which uses carbon tax revenues paid by industry to fund emission reduction projects around the province.

“At Windset Farms, sustainability is an important part of our business growing healthy, nutritious food for people,” said Steve Newell, president and CEO of Windset Farms.

“By investing in new energy-efficient technologies, we’re reducing our impact on the environment, saving on energy costs and creating new low-carbon opportunities thanks to funding through CleanBC.”

Three things you need to know about Delta’s new recycling program The City of Delta is excited to introduce Recycle 2020 as Delta’s new curbside and shared collection recycling program!

Recycle 2020 is part of the City’s new partnership with Recycle BC, the not-for-profit organization that is responsible for residential packaging and paper recycling across the province, and will help to ensure that the maximum amount of materials picked up for curbside and shared collection are properly recycled.

The new program is scheduled to begin in October 2020, once all Grey Boxes and Glass Bins have been delivered. However, residents do not have to wait until October to begin following the new recycling guidelines! The City encourages all residents to begin using their Grey Box and Glass Bin as soon as it arrives.

Got your new bins? You can review the new recycling guidelines in the curbside collection guide.

The three changes that everyone needs to know about the new program: Combine newspaper and mixed paper Newspapers and flyers, which used to go in the Blue Bag, will now go in the Yellow Bag with other paper and cardboard material. A new, larger Yellow Bag will be delivered to all single-family dwellings to accommodate for the increase in materials being collected.

For apartments and townhouses with shared recycling, newspaper should be placed in the Mixed Paper Bin with other paper and cardboard materials.

Separate glass Glass bottles and jars, which used to go in the Blue Box, will now be placed in the Grey Box. The City is in the process of delivering Grey Boxes to all single-family dwellings and deliveries will be complete by the beginning of October 2020. For those with shared recycling, new Grey Bins will be delivered to all apartments and townhouses in Delta.

The changes in how we recycle are necessary to align with Recycle BC’s guidelines, which include the requirement that glass bottles and jars are separated into their own bin.

Glass is often broken when emptied into collection trucks and broken glass can contaminate other recycled materials. Small, broken glass is also difficult to separate from other recycled materials. By separating glass from other items, residents will help reduce contamination and increase the amount of material that is actually recycled.

Plastic bags and foam food containers will no longer be accepted Plastic bags and foam food containers will no longer be accepted in the Blue Box or Mixed Containers Bin. Following the Recycle BC guidelines, these items should be taken back to your local recycling depot where they are accepted separately for recycling.

These items will no longer be accepted in the Blue Box and should be returned to your local recycling depot: • Plastic bags for groceries, dry cleaning, bread, newspapers, and flyers • Bags for produce, dry bulk foods, pre-washed salad, and frozen vegetables • Outer bags for diapers and feminine hygiene products, paper towels, tissues, and soft drink can flats • Bags for water softener, salt, wood pellets, and garden products • Overwrap on mattresses, furniture, and electronic equipment When plastic bags are placed in the Blue Box, they can become tangled with other recyclable items during pickup. Foam containers can also become tangled and often break down into smaller pieces. When this happens, recycling facilities are unable to separate the tangled materials, which results in less items being properly recycled.

Unfortunately, bags and foam containers cannot be collected separately at the curbside. There are not enough compartments in the collection vehicles, and the light materials do not make for an efficient use of collection trucks.

Still have questions about the new Recycle 2020 program? The City has a free recycling app where you can easily search how to dispose of all household items.

DPD officer Top 40 under 40 IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Delta police Const.

Grayson Smith’s commitment to policing and community involvement has resulted in the awarding of an international honour.

Smith was recently selected as a Top 40 under 40 leader in policing by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

Smith’s leadership skills shine both on and off duty. As the first active Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) at the DPD, he serves as an instructor and a mentor for DREs and coordinated the agency’s impaired investigations and quality control efforts.

He led DPD through the challenges of changing cannabis laws and has ensured DPD officers are trained and prepared for drug-impaired driv-

ing enforcement. He also helped develop the agency’s impaired coordinator position, and in this role, has ensured the province’s highest rate of officers trained in standardized field sobriety testing and drug recognition.

Off duty, Smith is constantly giving back to his community, volunteering as a camp leader for indigenous youth in northern B.C. He recognizes the deep, systemic obstacles that keeps marginalized groups from thriving and strives to give them a voice.

In addition to his community involvement, Smith is also a successful children’s book author.

He donates the proceeds of his books to charities, including the British Columbia Children’s Hospital and the Special Olympics.

“By virtue of their oath and their role, police officers are afforded the

opportunity to confront injustice, solve problems and change culture in a community,” said Smith.

“Whether the issues are localized or systemic, as a police officer I regularly engage in problem solving and through teamwork am able to address violence, inequity and criminality.

Truth be told, I never considered any other option as a viable career.”

DPD Chief Neil Dubord said Smith truly puts his heart into his job, and is a leader both on and off duty.

“Grayson is passionate about reducing impaired driving, ensuring our officers have the skills needed to take those drivers off the road, but I’m really impressed by his commitment to volunteer work – he is not only committed to listening and learning about issues, he takes the next step and works on the solution,” said Dubord.

his year has been tough for small businesses. The economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and closed many businesses permanently. Businesses are struggling to pay rent, wages and other costs while revenues decline. This has motivated a group of entrepreneurs in Delta to band together offering solutions that can help local businesses survive and thrive by combining their purchasing power with national suppliers to receive the best rates, services and products.

The Delta Optimist spoke with a spokesperson of Small Business in Canada (SBIC), to find out more how SBIC can help businesses.

What are you looking to achieve with SBIC? Small businesses are the core of our economy and have been hit hard by the pandemic. We have developed an online platform that allows businesses to better position themselves to reopen, adjust their business models, and accomplish growth in trying times. We want to do more than offer information, we want to take small businesses beyond just surviving in the “new normal”.

What are the key elements of the business?

Thank you Delta for letting us help your families for the past 12 years.

We are here to help.

Happier aging and staying at home are very possible.

12th Anniversary

Join Us at our OPEN HOUSE

Thursday, October 1st. 12 - 3 PM all covid-19 safety protocols are in place.

all us pls. cfree in for a caring homesultation con 1293A 56th Street • 604-595-1680 • www.nursenextdoor.com located inside tsa town centre mall

Our platform has three elements. We want to provide entrepreneurs with an opportunity to connect with experts and other businesses within and outside of their communities. Secondly, we want to provide businesses with access to savings from national and local companies. Finally, we want to provide marketing tools to help these businesses grow and sustain themselves through such times are we are experiencing today.

Is it available to any business?

Yes. Our goal is to have interested and qualified businesses sign up and become members of our SBIC community.

Members can support and interact with our contributors, suppliers and sponsors and communicate with other businesses.

Tell us more about the community.

Members will use the SBIC Community to search the industry for answers from SBIC Contributors, connect within their local communities or with businesses across the country and increase their profiles.

We are launching a platform that will allow SBIC to be an online network where business owners across Canada will gather to drive leads, generate referrals,

create new business prospects, build relationships and share advice. SBIC is geared towards helping business with savings but also includes a plan for Individuals who can join as an Associate Member and receive savings on such items as cellular phone rates, travel deals, benefit and health plans, insurance, mortgage assistance and more.

Sounds great. What about the savings component?

We have secured both national and local companies as affiliates. Some of these include, Travel Agents, Law firms, Marketing companies, Merchant Services, Cellular Providers, Real Estate Companies and many more! These Companies will help businesses by introducing services at reduced prices. Our members can access their savings at any time. Whether you are a Business owner or an Individual, becoming a member is simple!

What does marketing entail?

We want to offer marketing and programs that will give businesses access to new customers and revenue, so we have created a system that resembles an online gift certificate—the SBIC Voucher. In efforts to support our local businesses, the voucher system provides both members and non-members an opportunity to save by purchasing an unlimited amount of vouchers online for $75.00 per voucher of which can be redeemed at any of the listed SBIC outsets for a value of $100.00 for the same voucher. A mutually Beneficial system is created as the small business receives cash flow as well as build their customer base and the consumer receives a deal and an immediate opportunity to support a local business.

See smallbusinessincanada.com for details.

A final note, why Delta?

Delta is our home. The market has been hit hard by the pandemic. We have watched our friends and neighbors suffer and wanted to help. By starting here, we support Delta first before we expand across the country in 2021.

The Delta KidSport chapter is there for you.

That’s the message the non-profit organization wants to get out to the community as more amateur sports move forward in their Return to Play phases amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

KidSport supports children by removing financial barriers that can prevent them from playing organized sport.

The Delta chapter provides individual grants up to $500 per calendar year. That amount has stayed intact despite COVID-19 cancelling Delta’s annual fundraiser gala slated for back in April. Fortunately, many of the event’s key spon-

“They just need to write us a note. There is nothing I can follow (in regards to a job loss from a pandemic). You just believe them,” continued Lewall.

She added it’s crucial that organizations are

aware how important sports is to kids and urges them to “think outside of the box” when it comes to putting programing together, even if it means minimal competition.

“Some of them are so limited on the number of kids they are taking.

It’s sad. Kids need this so badly. Sports leaders

are role models for them or maybe there are kids that are having struggles at home. It really is so important to them,” she said.

“There is an opportunity to build skills and take advantage of it right now. You can promote it so much that way. Just be a team within yourselves.”

Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project Participant Funding Available September 16, 2020 — The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (the Agency) is making funding available to assist the participation of the public and Indigenous peoples in the federal impact assessment for the proposed Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project, located on Tilbury Island, in Delta, British Columbia.

Funding is available for eligible individuals and groups to assist their participation in upcoming steps of the impact assessment, specifically for reviewing and providing comments on the draft information requirements that will inform the assessment. Once this phase is complete, the public and Indigenous peoples will have another opportunity to apply for funding to assist their participation in the next phases of the impact assessment process.

Applications received by October 16, 2020, will be considered.

Congratulations to

The Government of British Columbia has requested that the conduct of the federal impact assessment process be substituted to the province. This means if federal and provincial reviews are both required, and the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change decides the provincial process is an appropriate substitute for the federal process, the provincial government would conduct the impact assessment of the project on behalf of the Agency, fulfilling the requirements of both the federal Impact Assessment Act and British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Act. As a next step, the Agency will determine whether a federal impact assessment is required for the project. If one is required, recipients and the amount of funding allocated will be posted at a later date on the project’s webpage on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry website. If the Minister approves substitution, the Agency’s funding will support participation in the substituted process led by the provincial government. If the Agency determines a federal impact assessment is not required, no funds will be allocated and there will be no further opportunity to apply for federal funding for this project.

The Agency recognizes that it is more challenging to undertake meaningful public engagement and Indigenous consultation in light of the circumstances arising from COVID-19. The Agency continues to assess the situation, make adjustments to consultation activities, and is providing flexibility as needed in order to prioritize the health and safety of all Canadians, while fulfilling its responsibility to conduct meaningful engagement with interested groups.

Follow us on Twitter: @IAAC_AEIC #TilburyPhase2 The Proposed Project FortisBC Holdings Inc. is proposing to expand its existing Tilbury LNG Project, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and production facility located on Tilbury Island, in Delta, British Columbia. As proposed, the Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project would increase the facility's LNG production capacity by more than 50%, up to 13 700 tonnes of LNG per day for an operational life of at least 40 years. The expansion would allow for a total storage capacity of up to 208 000 cubic metres of LNG and include an additional storage tank and liquefaction facilities.

Rotary provides the precious gift of sight A young man in Ethiopia, who struggled many years to read and write, and yearned for an education, had been regarded as stupid and forced out of school at Grade two, because he was blind. He put on eyeglasses for the first time and, as a new world opened up for him, said as a plea, now, “How can I learn?”

His life might have been so much for fulfilling if he had eyeglasses when he was a child.

The second hand eyeglasses and professional help came to this man half way around the world thanks to the Third World Eye Care Society (TWECS), based in Burnaby, founded

by Optometrist Dr. Marina RomaMarch.

“While we, in the 50 Rotary clubs of District 5040 (www.rotary5040.org) were so disappointed that we had to cancel our late April annual conference in Vancouver because of pandemic restrictions,” says conference chair, Tom Smith, of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen, “we continued with our pledge to raise 2,020 used eyeglasses for TWECS in time for the ‘2020 Vision Conference’. I am so amazed and grateful that, despite our setback, Rotary clubs, from Greater Vancouver up

the coast to Prince Rupert, and eight Rotaract clubs, of young professionals and post-secondary students up to 30, rallied and far exceeded our goal with a final collection of 5,294 eyeglasses.”

Rotary Club of Ladner President Peter Roaf adds, “We are so pleased that we could be part of this project, with the Tsawwassen club and many others, because it could make a positive impact on the lives of over 5,000 children with improved vision which we tend to take for granted here at home.”

Thanks to Bandstra Transportation, which shipped collections from northern Rotary clubs to their Richmond terminal free of charge, the TWECS warehouse in Burnaby now has the entire collection. There the eyeglasses are sorted for reading or distance focus.

Next, a local prison, with equipment loaned by TWECS, determines the magnification strength of each pair, labels and packages it for return to TWECS. Dr. Roma-March, a Rotarian herself, will be taking the collected eyeglasses on her team’s next mission to a developing country, where, because of poverty or lack of availability of eye care services, individuals are unable to obtain eyeglasses and primary eye

at home unable to read,” said RomaMarch. “It is heartbreaking to meet so many children whose lives have been crippled with missed opportunities for education and employment because of the lack of eyeglasses. We are so grateful to our Rotary District 5040 clubs and their communities for this recent donation of used eyeglasses.”

Reach Gala goes virtual on Oct. 3

Steve Darling returns as emcee for Reach Child and Youth Development Society’s eighth Annual Reach for the Stars fundraising gala on Saturday, Oct. 3.

This year, Reach for the Stars: Gardens of Growth gala will be broadcast online in order to keep participants safe in this time of social distancing. Vancouver Fraser Port Authority returns as presenting sponsor and Canadian Autoparts Toyota (CAPTIN) returns as platinum sponsor.

“We have an exciting evening planned that will be heartwarming, engaging and inspiring! Although we won’t physically be together, we hope to bring everyone together while apart for a special evening supporting our children in typical Reach fashion,” said Reach development manager Kristin Bibbs.

“The online event will be full of entertainment, heartwarming stories, children’s performances, an auction, raffles and more!”

Reach for the Stars online gala will last for one hour instead of the inperson four hour event guests have enjoyed for the past seven years.

Darling will present live from the Reach Children’s Development Centre in Ladner and the Gardens of Growth silent auction and online raffle will go live several days before the gala itself.

Guests will receive a gift basket to augment their viewing experience and tickets cost $50 each with a reduced rate for those who have been affected by COVID-19.

Register at www.reachgala.com for the gala and to browse the silent auction open to the public.

New addtion for Kirkland House Glen Davis & Dunbar Lumber team up to create retro circular tree bench MARK BOOTH

m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The Kirkland House property has a new addition thanks to the generosity of a local business and the innovative craftsmanship of Glen Davis.

A custom-designed circular bench has been inserted around a 100-year-old-plus tree, located near the fully restored 1911 Edwardian farmhouse located on Arthur Drive in Ladner last week.

“For years we have been talking about doing something as this is the way people come in for weddings,” said Kirkland House Foundation chair Colin Campbell.

“Glen did an amazing job.”

With all building supplies donated by Ladner’s Dunbar Lumber, Davis’ meticulous work includes the bench legs at various heights to sit securely around the tree’s trunk and roots.

“Glen found a historical picture of a bench that would be appropriate. He modified it extensively to accommodate the tree,” added Campbell.

Volunteers are always wel-

are typically there on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

“They can drop by around 10:30 a.m. for a coffee. If they

like us they can come back the following week with some tools.

If not then they at least got a free coffee,” laughed Campbell.

Food Bank benefits from Farm Roots bounty The staff of Farm Roots along with the Delta School District could not be more pleased to have shared more than 800 pounds of produce so far with the South Delta Food Bank.

Paige Hansen, district vice-principal for academy programs, said before students left on spring break in March, they planted hundreds of seedlings under the grow lights.

“When we realized that the students would not be returning after the break (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) we were faced with coming up with a new plan,” said Hansen. “Suddenly the idea of food security was becoming more relevant than ever.”

She said with the District’s blessing the decision was made to put the crop in without the help of the students.

In the beginning, it was just regular Farm Roots staff - two teacher coordinators (Cody Forbes and Bria Shantz), and two amazing EA’s (Dawn-Marie Selman and Claire Forster) and a one acre field.

“As we began to understand our new COVID-19 realities, we were able to

Delta School District’s Farm Roots has donated over 800 pounds of produce. safely draw in other folks like farmer Mike Schneider (whom people know from Project Pickle),” added Hansen. “We were lucky to have others, not only from different areas of the school district, but also from the farming community itself. Our local farmers were never far when we needed help.”

Hansen points out that the tricky thing about Farm Roots is that the students, who

are the stewards of the land all school year, don’t get to harvest the crop due to the school schedule, COVID-19 or not.

“To help us out with this we have always partnered with Fresh Roots. Fresh Roots is a not-for-profit organization that works to engage schools with food production and food security,” she said. “Their summer program, along with their 20 ‘socially distanced’ teenagers did the bulk of the harvesting.”

The simple end result is an 800 pounds (and growing) donation to the South Delta Food Bank.

“The donation really tells the story of a chain of people who all came together as a community to give of their time, expertise and generosity, and that feels pretty special to be a part of for all of us,” said Hansen.

“The best part is we won’t be done harvesting until the end of October, so there is lots more to give. We plan to continue donating locally as well as to Cedar Park Church’s food prep and distribution program for the people of the Vancouver Downtown East Side.”

Some time ago I was introduced to the term, compassion fatigue – the experience of giving out more through caring and compassion then you are able to replenish - something that people in caring professions know all too well.

But today I learned a brand new term, “caution fatigue!”

It caught my eye and my curiosity. It came to me from an internal company communique that a friend forwarded.

It stated, “When the pandemic first began, people were energized and eager to work hard to flatten the curve, but the combination of prolonged isolation, strict health and safety protocols, and increased stress levels has left many people feeling tired, less motivated

How do we guard against this? My mind drifted to the habit of Jesus to socially distance himself on a regular basis in order to pray (Luke 5:16). He also encouraged those that wished to follow him to practice a daily rhythm of letting go. His words translate

in English to roughly, “you’re going to have deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23).

Two quick thoughts.

First, I recommend you develop a daily rhythm that allows you to shed the weight of the previous day, reset your focus and help you approach each day with energy.

Basically, don’t let the repetition of warnings build up. Second, allow your relationship with God to strengthen you.

You don’t have to carry this weight on your own.

You don’t have to know how everything will play out in the weeks to come.

Let’s just stick close to the one who has it all under his control. With a little effort I think we can throw caution fatigue to the wind.

Ask a Local...

Michelle Barlow

Mark Pearson

Q: Tell us what brought you to South Delta?

Since first plying his field hockey trade on the grass fields of Winskill Park in Tsawwassen Pearson has gone on to compete for Canada more than 250 times and is currently one of the most experienced players on the men’s national team.

Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association

A: South Delta has always been known as a naturally beautiful community to raise a family, so it was the obvious choice for our young family relocating from our downtown Vancouver condo 14 years ago.

Q: How long have you been with TBIA and what is your role with the organization?

A: I have been with the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association for over 3 1/2 years. In 2019 I became the Executive Director. It has definitely been a very interesting and challenging first year! I look forward to our economy returning to 100 per cent and continuing to work with our business community in Sunny Tsawwassen.

Olympian

At just 21-years-old, he was the youngest member of the Canadian field hockey team at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Summer Games. Since then he has gone on to compete at 2x World Cups, 4x Commonwealth Games and 2x Pan American Games as well as playing professionally in Belgium, Germany and India. He has his sights set on finishing his career one year later than he expected at the Tokyo Olympics next summer.

Q: What are your favourite fitness activities?

Q: What is your favourite part or aspect of South Delta?

A: We live in a unique and beautiful geographical location where our community is surrounded by spectacular beaches and waterways, farms that provide fresh local food, and lush evergreen environment. Our little slice of heaven in the sun belt. I enjoy spending time with my family walking on the beach after a couple rounds of the steps at Fred Gingell. If I can time it with one of our signature sunsets, it always ends up as a great way to end a day.

Q: What makes the South Delta business community unique?

A: Many of our local businesses are owned and operated by residents who share the same values as their customers and give back to our community in many ways. They treasure what is important in South Delta. Their strong connection to our community is evident in the overwhelming support that our community members have and continue to give our local businesses during this very challenging time.

Q: Any words of wisdom for the community?

A: For our community to thrive and prosper we need to embrace more diverse housing options and encourage a better overall transportation plan for our region.

Providing more housing options and welcoming more people to choose South Delta as their home will support and help the growth of a strong business district which in turn will strengthen our community.

A: By far my favourite fitness activity in South Delta has to be running the stairs at Fred Gingell on English Bluff.

The views and sunsets are second to none and it has always proven to be a great place for me to keep my fitness levels high when I’m back in town.

Q: What is your favourite places to eat in South Delta and why?

A: Still don’t think I’ve found a better sandwich than Ossie’s clubhouse. An iconic local establishment and staple of my high school lunches.

Q: What do you believe are South Delta’s best features?

A: South Delta was an amazing place to grow up and for me our best features have to be Centennial Beach, Restaurant Row, and the community atmosphere. Like goldilocks’s porridge South Delta for me is just the right size - not too big and not too small!

Q: If you had a “bucket list” what would be your top three things?

A: 1) Workout and sunset at Fred Gingell Park 2) Beer and tacos at Four Winds Brewing 3) 18 holes at Tsawwassen Springs or Kings Links.

Andie Bakehouse

Kevin Ridley

Q: Tell us what brought you to South Delta?

Q: Tell us a bit about your history in South Delta?

Born and raised here or moved to the community?

Community Relations and Residency Coordinator Bria Communities

A: I moved to South Delta, Tsawwassen specifically, when I emigrated from Bristol, England 25 years ago. I had family already here and when the opportunity arose to move here we thought it would be a wonderful place to work, live and raise a family. Once we were arrived it was our intention to look for a place of our own to live. We looked at other beautiful areas in the Lower Mainland, but for us nothing compared to what we have in South Delta.

Q: How long have you been with Bria Communities and what is your role?

Local Business Owner at the Runinn

A: I moved to South Delta with my wife Trina in 1993 after living in several spots around metro Vancouver. We fell in love with Ladner and the surrounding community and were instantly welcomed to the neighborhood. My wife is related to the Husband farming family so there was another connection there right away. We loved the small town feel of Ladner with the proximity to Vancouver and the surrounding cities. We moved to Tsawwassen about 12 years ago so we could be closer to work.

Q: When and why did you open up the Runinn?

A: I have worked for Century Group for 14 years, and Bria Communities for 4 1/2 years of that. My most recent role is Residential Coordinator & Community Relations. It’s my most favourite role to date!

Building relationships with our new residents and their families is a pleasure. From the moment we meet, either on the phone or in person, a relationship begins. Through the process of giving information, conducting a tour, and a subsequent move to The Waterford or The Wexford, I help make the whole transition smooth and less overwhelming for our new residents, and their families.

Q: What is your favourite part or aspect of your job?

A: All of it. I’m definitely a people person. I like to nurture, organize and be of help. I like to see people happy, comfortable and enjoying themselves. The most satisfaction that I receive in my role is when I see a resident who has moved into a Bria Community that is shy, nervous and a little lonely and within a few short weeks become an active, confident and social senior.

Q: What makes the South Delta community a great place to work and or live?

A: The people in this community are what makes it great. Whether you are born here or just moved here everybody is friendly and welcoming. Being in a small town you’ll often see familiar, smiling faces and it gives you a sense of belonging.

You have everything you could wish for here; professional businesses, healthcare, restaurants and shopping. As for the weather, we try not to brag, but Tsawwassen and Ladner are sunnier than any other part of the Lower Mainland, and being so close to the mountains and beaches there’s no better place to be.

Q: Any words of wisdom for the community?

A: We opened the Runinn in Kerrisdale Vancouver in 1992 and I worked at that location for 10 years. When we moved to Delta in 1993 I saw how active the community was and I thought that this would be a great community to open up a second store. We opened up the Runinn Delta in 2002 with a good friend Nancy Friesen and we never looked back. We started RunClubs every Tuesday night and Saturday morning and helped our customers to achieve their running and walking goals.

Q: What is your favourite spot for fitness?

A: I would say my favourite place to run or walk is the Centennial Beach Dyke. There is something very special about that area and the spectacular views of Vancouver, White Rock and Mt. Baker on a clear day.

Q: What is your favourite part of being a business owner in South Delta?

A: My favourite part of being a business owner in Tsawwassen is how many great people I have met in our community over the years. Through the Runinn I have been able to get involved in several local events and promotion and network with lots of other businesses to help integrate ourselves into the community.

Q: Any words of wisdom or advice for the community?

A: I am a strong believer in shopping local and supporting your local businesses especially in these times of COVID-19. It has been very tough for a lot of businesses to stay open so it’s important for all of us to think local first. It keeps jobs and taxes and revenue in our community so those businesses can continue to help out local groups and sponsor events, club teams and charities.

A: I think most of us are thinking the same at the moment. This year has been devastating for a lot of people, especially our seniors. We need to stick together, keep smiling, carry-on. COVID-19 can be beat so keep wearing your masks, keep washing your hands and keep your distance. Stay safe.

Registered Charity Number: 13952-5596 RR001

New - Lifeline Unit That Can Be Used Out In The Community

Reinventing ElderCollege Delta in the COVID-19 pandemic ElderCollege Delta, like many non-profit organizations, has been particularly hard hit due to COVID-19 with the inability to access office space at KinVillage, cancelling its spring semester, closure of venues, and social distancing requirements.

ElderCollege has reached out to the community seeking financial support in order to manage its large deficit, however, at this time there are plenty of needs in the community deemed higher priority for immediately available grants, so fundraising efforts continue. But there is some good news, thanks to the generosity of Century Holdings ElderCollege has just

acquired and set up a temporary office in one of the store spaces in Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. Thrifty Foods also continues to support through their Smile Program. “We are grateful for this assistance as we seek a new approach to fulfilling our vision of providing social support through educational programs for the seniors in our community, many of whom are currently feeling increased isolation,” said Helen Kettle, ElderCollege communications chair. “We are naturally taking our time to craft and introduce new ways of reaching students and enabling learning and are planning to soon offer some

online courses as well as some very small inperson classes to be held in our new space.”

Some of the courses planned include a sprinkling of the technology courses as well as some of its popular general interest courses in the areas of history and current events, Indigenous Peoples in Canada, What’s News and Ted Talks, language and literature and lifestyle.

Full details will soon be sent to all members via email and as always ElderCollege welcomes new members. If you are in the mall, please drop by. ElderCollege is now located adjacent to Joe’s Market and across from Centre Stage.

Lifeline is a unit of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary. In Delta, we enable approximately 500 residents of Delta to live independently and secure within their own homes.

Volunteers install the equipment and ensure the clients know how to use their Personal Help Buttons. Many calls to Lifeline are solved by responders, therefore preventing unnecessary ambulance calls or visits to the Hospital Emergency Department.

Seniors and their families have peace of mind knowing that help is just a click away.

Having Lifeline was a great comfort for both myself and my mom.

She had cause to use it a couple of times after falling in her home.

With Lifeline she was able to alert me and I was there within minutes.

I travel often and the installation of Lifeline gave both myself and my mom great peace of mind....

Community News

ONLINE www.delta-optimist.com

George Garrett — award-winning journalist, beloved community champion and a cofounder of the Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society has announced his retirement from the Board of the Society.

Since February 2016 when the service launched, the Society has recruited close to 200 drivers and dispatchers to drive cancer patients to and from their appointments with free, safe and timely transportation.

In total, the Society has facilitated 58,886 patient trips and driven 1,730,941 kilometers: an astonishing amount given its humble but ambitious beginnings as an idea launched by three friends.

“Put simply, it wouldn’t be possible for us to have

supported so many cancer patients if it weren’t for George Garrett,” explained Bob Smith, President of the Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society. “His bold vision for a level of care and support for those facing this debilitating illness, combined with his passion and energy, enabled us to grow rapidly to meet the needs of cancer patients for access to care.

We will always be grateful for the legacy George shares with us and wish him the best as he steps down from his day-to-day commitments.”

Garrett leaves the Board with parting gifts: a substantial transfer of securities will benefit the current drive for funding operations now and a Legacy Pledge in his Will to lead the

Society’s launch of the Legacy Giving Program, designed to assist the VCDS in the creation of a sustainable financial future. Donations such as these ensure that cancer patients across the 15 communities in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley will continue to have access to free, reliable and safe transportation to their cancer treatments.

Of the Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society’s services, one cancer survivor shared, “I had no way to get to my treatments and no money to take a taxi. Before hearing about your wonderful service, I was very depressed. You relieved an enormous burden.

All my drivers were wonderful and caring. You

helped save my life.”

Garrett says working with Founding President Garth Pinton and the late John MacInnes was a challenge in the early stages but cancer patients and their families as well as the general public became aware of the service and it began to grow. As well as providing free rides for hundreds of patient, volunteer drivers and dispatchers developed a bond with patients, providing them with the assurance that they would always be there for them. Garrett added, “Thanks to donations from many sources in our first five years we know we’ll be there for cancer patients for years to come.”

AMICA WHITE ROCK JUST TURNED ONE! Amica White Rock celebrates an eventful first year in South Surrey.

Larry O’Brien was initially lukewarm on the idea of retirement living when his wife, Marjorie, needed support for medical issues.

“I thought it might be dull but it’s been the reverse,” says the former pilot, one of Amica White Rock’s first residents.

transforms fruits and vegetables from the rooftop garden into fresh, seasonal dishes.

INSPIRING LIFESTYLE The culinary team has been delighting residents with variety, including lobster tails on Canada Day, omelet bars and cooking demonstrations. When salons closed, Memory Care residents had their hair and nails done by team members. Weekly excursions aboard the residence shuttle have resumed for shopping, scenic drives or visits to the beach.

“The move actually enhanced our lifestyle significantly,” Larry says. “The folks here are great people who’ve had interesting careers and life experiences. You couldn’t ask for a better staff: they’re attentive, empathetic, cheerful and professional. I’ve never lived in a place where it feels more like family. A live-in attendant doesn’t bring the benefits of living in a place with Amica’s standards. We feel very fortunate to live here.”

KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER

In September 2019, when the residence opened, Amica White Rock became the fastest in Amica history to lease up. The community flocked to state-of-the-art residence that empowered seniors to maintain their lifestyle and independence with unparalleled amenities, care and social activities. For its first anniversary, the residents and team reflected on a challenging year that brought the community closer together.

ONE-OF-A-KIND AMENITIES The O’Briens chose Amica White Rock for its convenient location and care. Along with personalized support, 24/7 nursing and emergency pendants monitored on-site, the residence has a lab, pharmacy and doctors’ offices.

“It’s walking distance to everything, including the hospital,” says Larry O’Brien. They also appreciate the view: every Independent Living suite has a balcony and in-suite laundry — rare finds in senior living.

“The building is phenomenal

and there’s nothing like it,” says Community Relations Director Kellie Besseling. Best-kept secrets include 8,000 square feet of outdoor terraces and a rooftop putting green with mountain and ocean views. The culinary team

local community centres remain closed, the residents are back to enjoying physically distant aquafit classes in the residence pool.

When COVID-19 restricted visitors, concierge Arlene Martell recorded long conversations with residents then created Life Story podcasts to nurture connections.

Even families were surprised by what they learned about their parents! With travel cancelled, teams helped residents visit their families virtually: one resident loves biweekly video calls with her family in the Netherlands. An outdoor booth constructed by the maintenance team enabled families to visit safely.

ENGAGING BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT

With cooler seasons approaching, Besseling worries about seniors feeling isolated at home. “Here, you’re in a safe bubble among peers having a great time. You don’t have to go out for groceries and we’ve got our own restaurant.

The building is beautiful and our residents and team bring it to life.”

To schedule a private tour, contact us at 778-545-8800 and find out more about what life at Amica White Rock is like.

Team members carefully redesigned daily activities to keep everyone safe and engaged throughout the pandemic. Residents got hooked on a cooking show featuring friendly recipe competitions between staff, and teamed up for daily challenges during the “Quarantine Games.”

To keep everyone connecting at a safe distance, exercise classes and socials moved to sidewalks, balconies and hallways. While

A setback for Paxton

James Paxton’s time as a New York Yankee could be over.

The 31-year-old from Ladner was transferred to the 45-day injury list prior to New York’s win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. He was initially put on the 10-day injury list after suffering a left flexor strain during his Aug. 20 start. He experienced discomfort during a throwing session on Sept. 9 and hadn’t thrown since.

For the Delta Secondary graduate to pitch again this season, the Yankees would have to advance to the American League Championship Series where he could work out of the bullpen.

The left-hander was 1-1 with a 6.64 ERA in five starts at the time of the injury.

Paxton is headed to unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career. He avoided salary arbitration back in January by agreeing to a one year deal worth $12.5 million.

In 2019, he went a career best 15-6 with a 3.82 ERA and 186 strikeouts in 150 innings pitched.

After two potential trips back east were cancelled due to COVID-19, Greg McPherson, Dave Schneider and Dave Terrana brought their Boston Marathon run to Ladner after the trio qualified for the prestigous race.

Bringing Boston to Ladner

Trio brings marathon to their hometown after COVID-19 wipes out event MARK BOOTH

m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Greg McPherson, Dave Schneider and Dave Terrana ran down their Boston dream in their own backyard.

The trio of 52-year-olds completed their own virtual Boston Marathon last week through the streets and trails of Ladner after COVID-19 cancelled two potential trips back east for the world renowned event.

After earning qualification times (under three hours and 25 minutes) for their age class, airline tickets and hotel rooms were booked for the originally scheduled race in April.

It was later moved to September before the 124th edition became a virtual event.

That’s when the Ladner men had a decision to make.

The trio even had their own finish line at Sharkey’s restaurant.

“It’s a once in a lifetime kind of thing and just qualifying for Boston is a big deal, explained McPherson, who got his start in distance running through one of the local RunInn clinics. “We were just worried we were never going to get there and get our medals and the whole bit, so we

had an option of wherever we wanted to do it.”

They mapped out a 42.1 km course that took them down 64th St. and out to Deas Island Regional Park before working their way to Ladner via the Millennium Trail, down to Delta Port and back to town, finish-

ing at Sharkey’s Restaurant in Ladner. Friends and family provided support and signage along the way.

Even the virtual race wasn’t held in ideal conditions thanks to the forest fire smoke that had blanketed the Lower Mainland for several days. Fortunately the air quality was good enough in the morning for all of them to complete the race in under four hours.

“I couldn’t really smell the smoke until the last five kilometres,” added McPherson. “(Sunday) was brutal so we were really lucky we ran it the day before.”

As for running the marathon in Boston one day, McPherson admits it’s something the trio haven’t ruled out. Perhaps when they turn 55 and are eligible for a higher qualification time.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

SPARROW, Ronald “Bud” Edward Jr. kweneten July 16, 1944 - September 14, 2020

Passed away peacefully in his family home on September 14th, surrounded by the love of his children. Bud’s memory ry y will be kept alive by his children, Shani (Paul), Desiree (Rich), Jarred, Kayla (Mike) and Kelsey; grandchildren Brett, Ronald, Kaleigh and Delaney; sisters Leona and Sharon (Chris); in-laws Glen and Elizabeth Dinsmore, selected son, Brian Dinsmore and a very ry y large extended family of many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Bud was born in Richmond, BC and lived his young, formative years in communities along the mouths of Fraser and Skeena river. He then had the privilege of raising two beautifully melded families in the closeknit communities of Tsawwassen and Ladner. He was a kind, warm, dedicated and loving father, who could always put a smile on his children’s faces with his teasing, quick wit and good humour. His home was a gathering place where every ryone y was welcome and countless memories have been shared with family, friends and acquaintances.

He forged lifelong and cherished friendships in all the places he has lived and during his many journeys up and down the coast of BC. Bud was a humble, stoic, generous man with a giant heart rt, t he was a true friend to many people. As an avid hunter for birds and big game, he made annual trips to Penticton, Medicine Hat and Cypress Hills with close friends and family.

His niick kname “Bud d” was unwiittinglly besttowed d upon him by his little siistter Sharon. As a toddler, she tried to say brother but it came out “brudder”, short rtened t to “buddy”, and eventually evolved into his long-standing name, Bud. He had the ambition to become a fisherman from the young age of 2. While the family was visiting Musqueam, he would run off fff and go fish in the creek. Bud learned his invaluable fishing and hunting skills from his father, grandfather and uncles throughout the years, while obtaining his cultural education along the way. Bud ran his first gillnetter at the young age of 13 on his own in the Fraser and aft fterw t rwards w travelled nort rth t with his uncles, beginning his prestigious career as a commercial fisherman. He purchased his first seine boat, the Bruce Luck, at the age of 24. He then went on to build his own seine boats, the Shani Lynne and Shani Lynne No 2, named aft fter t his first daughter and subsequently to include the next two daughters carry rying y the middle name Lynne.

As he became an independent fisherman, he included the skills of his sister Leona to keep his business aff ffairs f on track. With his remarkable

memory ry, y knowledge of migration patterns, and skill built over the decades he became one of the best and most respected high-liners on the pacific coast and is considered a legend. His passion for being on the water has been passed down generationally and continues to live on through his son Jarred. He had an exceptional and accomplished 61 year fishing career, which included being a long-standing member of the Musqueam Fisheries Commission, fishing herring in Newf wfoundland, f owning and operating his thriving business (Sthakwy wy y Fishing Co. Ltd.), as well as providing for the community members and elders at Musqueam and for other first nations communities. His courage and determination on the Fraser River and during the “Sparrow Case” paved way for the advancement of Indigenous fishing rights across Canada and around the world. His legacy will be felt for years to come and continue to eff ffect f change for Indigenous rights.

Bud spent the last year and a half being surrounded by the love and support rtt of his family, especially his children always at his side. He hosted many family dinners and celebrations, filling his home with joy, laughter and good times. His family would like to thank and raise their hands to the nurses and home support rtt workers at South Delta Home Health.

They always provided Bud with professional and compassionate care and truly support rted t the family throughout his journey.

Bud d is conttinuiing his journey and d is now wiith his parentts Ron & Vi Sparrow, wife Linda Sparrow, daughter Lonni “LaLa” Sparrow, Grandparents Ed & Rose Sparrow and sister in law Deborah McClellan. They will have welcomed him with open arms.

“May calm seas and fair winds guide you home” There was an intimate funeral serv rvice v held at Musqueam on Friday, September 18th with close family and friends. There will be a celebration of life to follow when it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the B.C. Lung Association.

September 24, 2020 The Delta Optimist A91 REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

In Memory of

Wendy O’Hagan (nee Chadbourne)

CHAPMAN, Roland Franklin May 27, 1939 - September 10, 2020 Roland Chapman passed away suddenly while on vacation in Osoyoos. He was predeceased by his first wife, Lorna (1974). He is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years, Marilyn; their children, Dan (Michele), Tracy (Mark), Cathy, Sean (Jamie), and Lindsey (Chris) and ten grandchildren. He is lovingly remembered by his siblings, Don and Harriet, nieces and nephews, former colleagues and students, and many wonderful friends.

Roland was a member of the UBC wrestling team, graduated from UBC with a BPE, and from WWU with an MEd. in school administration. He was an elementary school principal in Delta for 30 years (Beach Grove, English Bluff, South Park, Port Guichon, Brooke, and Holly). Roland was thoughtful, kind, friendly and outgoing; he loved to interact with people. He and Marilyn shared a soft spot for children. As a school principal, he knew the names of every child and also their parents. Roland was a country boy at heart: he loved the outdoors, hiking, skiing, and going on bird walks. Roland was always very interested in athletics, including track and field, basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf. He led a healthy lifestyle, was strong and fit, and worked out at the gym 5 days a week until the week he died.

When he was a school principal, he coached track and field, volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics.

Roland was also very creative, and especially enjoyed wood and stone carving and black line drawing. He loved working with wood, and made many pieces of furniture for his home. Roland will be remembered as a loving, caring, and affectionate husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed life, had a positive outlook, loved to joke, and have fun. He passed far too soon, and will be sorely missed. Due to COVID, there will be no celebration of life at this time.

Left us suddenly October 1, 2017

And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand

Pat also enjoyed volunteering in the community.

COMMUNITY

Alvine was born in Soerabaja, Indonesia. She grew up in the circus. On the ship from Germany to Halifax she met Tony, the love of her life. In 1969 they moved from Sept-Iles Quebec to Tsawwassen where they started their own family business. Her strength of spirit was unmatched.

She is survived by her two children, Stephan and Tania, Daughter In Law, Roxanne, nine grandchildren, Stephan-James, Natasha, Stephanie, Alexandria, Tyler, Garret, Alvine, Chanel, Tony, and 8 great grand children ,Quinlan, Audrey, Alvina, Hugo, Vaida, Jacob, Lucas, Poppy.

Donations made in memory of your loved ones will be acknowledge with cards sent to family members and an acknowledgement and receipt sent to the donor.

Margaret was born in Roslea, Northern Ireland and moved to London, England at a young age where she met and married her husband Leslie. Both Margaret and Leslie were adventurers at heart and emigrated to Philadelphia and they then moved from coast to coast settling in Richmond/South Delta, where Margaret spent her remaining years.

While the adventure took Margaret far from home, she maintained a strong connection to Ireland and was very proud of her Irish heritage.

Many thanks go out to the KinVillage Assisted Living staff for taking great care of our Mom.

Loved ones who have passed on can be remembered through a Tribute Gift to Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation.

There are times when the pain of losing you is unbearable.

No words are powerful enough to describe how much we miss you.

We cherish all of the beautiful memories you have given us.

Francis, Tommy, by her Stephen sister-in-

Margaret had many careers, none more important then being a Mom to her children. Margaret enjoyed being busy and learning new arts/crafts, with her passions being gardening and knitting.

She loved music and would always welcome a chance to hit the dance floor. Margaret was a very kind person with a soft spot for animals and nature, especially her bird friends who were regular visitors to her garden. Her love of laughter and her giggle will be missed by her family and friends.
