Opposing societies say they’ll offer hospice counselling 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

Even though Fraser Health is now running things at the Irene Thomas Hospice and Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care, two opposing Delta hospice societies are trying to win community support.

Having lost public funding and recently vacating the premises, the Delta Hospice Society says it’s deeply saddened by the health region’s “takeover” of the two facilities.

In a lengthy statement in an advertisement (on page two of today’s edition) to update the community on the society’s next steps, the DHS says it will continue to operate, not relying on buildings for services.

Saying they will continue counselling and education resources, the society stated, “We never judge and we never provide our own opinions. Our programs and services have not changed – we continue to offer quality support and bereavement to anyone in need.

We are here for the community always and we sincerely hope you will walk with us as we relocate and begin anew,” the statement in part reads.

The society notes that the Irene Thomas Hospice was only one component of the care Delta Hospice offered and that a wide variety of well-established programs are continuing to run virtually and in-person.

The society still owns and operates the Charity Shoppe thrift store in Tsawwassen.

The current society board, which

took control of the society after a heated annual general meeting in late 2019, is opposed to providing the legal procedure medical assistance in dying (MAiD), reversing a decision by the previous board to allow MAiD. It put the DHS at odds with Fraser Health, which mandated publicly funded hospices with non-religious affiliations offer the service to those who request it.

Accused of stacking the membership to impose their own religious viewpoint, including signing up hundreds of non-Delta residents prior to the 2019 AGM, and many more afterwards, the

current board rejected hundreds of membership applications from Delta residents opposed to the DHS leadership.

During the membership battle, members of the advocacy group Take Back Delta Hospice went to court and successfully halted a planned meeting by the society’s board last summer to change the DHS constitution to become Christian-based.

The DHS board tried to appeal but lost.

Members of the Take Back Delta Hospice have now formed their own competing society called the Heron

We are looking forward to getting you back on the road safely.

Hospice Society of Delta, stating they will also offer compassionate end-oflife programs for individuals and families experiencing grief and loss, as well as aim to support the Irene Thomas Hospice, managed by FHA. “Heron Hospice Society of Delta will embrace all end-of-life choices and ensure individuals and families feel supported throughout this precious time with their loved ones. We are very pleased to offer hospice support because we believe in taking care of our community and we will work to support end-of-life care needs for our local citizens,” said Heron Hospice president Chris Pettypiece in a lengthy news release.

“The Take Back Delta Hospice advocacy efforts demonstrated the tremendous support in Delta for hospice care.

This new Society is led by a volunteer board of eleven directors, all residing in Delta, who are committed to restoring supportive and inclusive care in our community.”

Heron Hospice Society says that while its initial services are limited due to public health orders, their first program will be an online Grief Circle.

Additional services will include, among other things, therapeutic touch, vigils, hospice residence support, remembrance ceremonies and educational opportunities.

The news release also has a statement of support from Delta Mayor George Harvie.

Heron Hospice Society says membership is limited to residents of Delta ages 19 or older.

Delta Hospice Letter to the Community

Dear Citizens of Delta, We are writing to update you on Delta Hospice after the takeover of its two facilities in Ladner at the end of March 2021. The Society deeply regrets the loss of its facilities. However, it does not rely on buildings for services.

While the medical care of patients and families at the Irene Thomas Hospice has opened under Fraser Health operation, ITH was only one component of care Delta Hospice offered. A wide variety of well-established and valued community programs are continuing to run virtually and in person.

Philosophy of Hospice Palliative Care Rather than a place, hospice palliative care is a specialized program that aims to improve the quality of life of patients, their families, and their caregivers by providing practical, emotional, and spiritual supports.

It is often stated that “the person is the place of care”.

Our programs reach out to people where they are: at home, in hospital, in a hospice, in a care facility, at schools, and businesses.

• We work with individuals, children, youth, couples, and families to help navigate the many challenges that people face with serious illness, end of life and loss.

• Counsellors and Client Volunteers offer spiritual support for all faiths, culture, and beliefs. Every person’s needs and beliefs are different and are respected.

• All services are offered at no cost so there is no discrimination in financial ability to pay.

Counselling, Resource and Education Program.

For 30 years, trained Hospice Volunteers and Professional Counsellors and Social Workers have touched many families with their time, compassion, sensitivity, and expertise. Experience shows us that by providing information, education and resources empowers families to maintain control and better manage the challenges they face. The Counselling, Resource and Education Program includes a wide variety of supports to meet individual needs for clients, family members, professionals, and the public.

Hospice Volunteers Hospice Volunteers are often called the “heart of hospice” and their work is important in all aspects of the Society including: 30‐Hour Volunteer Hospice Training Caregiver Respite Volunteer 1:1 Companioning Supportive/Bereavement Group Facilitation Reception & Administration Complimentary Therapies Vigil Service Life Review Recordings

Treatment and Care Choices Every person should discuss with their doctor what is important in dying and death. Decisions include location of death, natural death, or medical assistance in dying, and stopping certain medical measures that could prolong life.

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Counsellors assist clients wishing information about MAiD and in connecting them with the FH MAiD Coordinating Team. They support clients struggling with deciding about this choice and will not influence in any way a person’s decision. They assist family members with coming to terms with MAiD and the Bereavement Team provides follow-up support to family members after a MAiD death.

Education Education on living with serious illness, living with dying and living with loss are part of the mandate of the Society. Education is imbedded into the services and resources and include information on Hospice and Palliative Care Education in the Schools Grief and Loss Advanced Care Planning Volunteer Training Course MOOC – Massive Open Online Course

B.C. budget big on social and health care spending George Massey replacement not on capital works priority list NELSON BENNETT

B u s i n e s s i n Va n c o u ve r

B.C.’s new finance minister, Selina Robinson, brought down a budget Tuesday that includes ongoing pandemic triage, significant new permanent spending on social programs and health care, no new taxes and a current deficit that is $5.5 billion less than the last forecast.

The budget for 2021/22 projects a $9.7 billion deficit and significant contingency funding built into it, which may not need to be spent, given the rate of B.C.’s economic recovery and employment levels.

“We have seen month after month of steady job gains, and British Columbia now has the best job recovery rate in Canada,” Robinson said.

“That does not mean all jobs across all sectors have reappeared, but it is reason for cautious optimism.”

Budget 2021-22 includes $13 billion in additional operational spending over three years, of which $8.7 billion is in new, permanent program spending, and $4.6 billion in pandemic recovery and contingencies.

It also includes a $3.5 billion increase over

But one of the top capital works projects on the wish-list of the business community in the Lower Mainland – replacement of the George Massey Tunnel – is not on the capital works priority list. It is an omission that does not sit well with Delta South Liberal MLA Ian Paton.

“Despite the NDP claiming the George

unfortunately they didn’t get it. At the same time that we find ourselves in the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing a $1.1 billion funding cut to health authorities and a $53 million cut to school districts. The budget speech makes zero mention of agriculture, farmers, ranchers or fishers.

That tells the agricultural community all they need to know about how much this government prioritizes their needs and their efforts to keep their operations viable in this challenging time.”

“It’s all talk and no action from the NDP on a safe, efficient replacement for this aging and seismically-unsafe structure.”

“While residents of Delta were looking for some hope and optimism in this budget,

affected by the pandemic include $800 million in direct supports or foregone revenue, including the small and mediumsized business recovery grant program and tax incentives for new hires.

The budget allocates $120 million to support B.C.’s hard-hit tourism sector, including new funding of $20 million for community destination development grants.

The budget includes programs to employ laidoff hospitality industry workers in B.C.’s COVID19 immunization efforts.

It also provides $32 million for targeted skills training, micro-credentials and work experience placements.

The government is providing $500 million over three years for the InBC Strategic Investment Fund.

The budget includes $900 million in new funding to deal with the pandemic, for testing, contact tracing, equipment and vaccines.

To address housing affordability, the budget includes $2 billion in development financing to build 9,000 new homes for middle-income British Columbians over a period of three to five years.

Paid Communication

Delta Police say they are seeing a significant rise in hate crimes, a disturbing trend that is being seen across Metro Vancouver.

According to DPD, from March 29 to April 12 alone, 10 incidences of suspected hate crimes were reported. These range from complaints of racial slurs being yelled in public, or at store employees, to instances of racist graffiti at parks and schools, and even an assault involving racist remarks, that resulted in a minor injury to the victim.

“In all of 2020 Delta Police recorded 12 instances of suspected hate crimes,” said Deputy Chief Harj Sidhu. “This year we have seen 15 incidents of hate crime from January through to

mid-April.”

DPD say, of the 10 most recent incidences, racial slurs and antiSemitic graffiti were the most common behaviours noted, and police believe the same individual (s) may be responsible for multiple instances of graffiti. In regard to the assault, a suspect was arrested at the scene, and charges are anticipated.

DPD say although all types of hate crimes are unacceptable, Delta has not seen a trend in antiAsian hate crime that has been experienced in other jurisdictions during the pandemic.

In 2020 the DPD created an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Unit (EDIU). The three-person unit, led by S/Sgt. Sukh Sidhu, is intended to centralize the DPD’s efforts to engage with Delta’s diverse, faith-based, and not for profit, community

leaders, groups and organizations.

“We’re looking internally as well, reviewing processes, procedures and policies, including recruiting practices and training,” says Sidhu. “We have a very comprehensive process underway, and have engaged an impartial third-party to offer perspective.”

The EDIU recently distributed a Hate Crime Tool Kit to 28 faith-based organizations in Delta.

It provides a quick guide on reporting crimes, and suspected hate-based crimes, specifically, within the community.

It is available online for anyone to reference.

“I want to reassure the community that the Delta Police Department takes reports of hate crimes very seriously, and will investigate to the fullest extent possible,” added Harj Sidhu.

Eight Delta projects receive federal funds

59 YEARS SERVING DELTA

Funding falls under New Horizons for Seniors IAN JACQUES

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

More than $160,000 in federal funding will be invested in eight community based projects in Delta.

Last last week, Delta MP Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, on behalf of Canada’s Minister of Seniors, Deb Schulte, announced the funding for programs that will help seniors stay active, informed and socially connected in their community. This funding was awarded through the New Horizons for Seniors Program’s (NHSP) recent call for proposals for community-based projects.

Organizations that

will receive funding in Delta include Northcrest Care Centre, the City of Delta, Delta Gymnastics Society, Delta Earthwise Society, ElderCollege Delta Society, Ladner Lawn Bowling Club, Ladner Legion and Tsawwassen’s Tunnel Town Curling Club.

“Here in Delta, seniors

enrich and contribute greatly to our community,” said Qualtrough. “I am thrilled to have eight projects funded through the New Horizons for Seniors Program in North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen. Year after year, our government delivers on its promise to create a wide range of opportunities for seniors across Canada so they can participate in meaningful activities that nurture their personal growth and foster community engagement.”

This year, the Government of Canada increased its investment in the New Horizons for Seniors Program to $60.8 million, funding over 3,000 communitybased projects to support seniors across the country.

BCTF continues to push for more transparency 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

It’s finally some good news for concerned Delta teachers.

Fraser Health on the weekend confirmed that as it continues to manage high-risk and high-priority COVID-19 areas, as well as continue to plan to immunize all school staff, the health region is starting with communities that are experiencing the highest transmission.

That means FHA is now offering immunizations to eligible schoolbased staff in the Delta School District as well as the Coquitlam School District. Teachers in Surrey were earlier prioritized.

In a statement on Monday, Delta Teachers Association president

Susan Yao noted those teaching in North Delta will be getting a shot first.

She said they continue to hear from educators in Delta wanting to know when they’re going to be getting their vaccines.

It has been difficult to know what to say to those teachers knowing that they continue showing up every day at their schools, even with the possibility that each day they may be exposed to the virus, she said.

“The DTA and the BCTF have been working hard to advocate for teachers to be able to access all layers of protection, including vaccines. Knowing that many Delta teachers were able to book and receive their vaccines this weekend is incredible news. I have been

happy to hit the ‘like’ button on Facebook seeing so many people getting vaccinated.

“It makes the hard work worthwhile, knowing that the health authority and government have decided to pivot to vaccinate educators and staff in the north end schools,” she said.

“We know this doesn’t make it easier for educators and staff in the rest of Delta, but appreciate that there has been an attempt to address the ‘hot zones’ of COVID exposure,” she added.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation, meanwhile, continues to urge the province to allow for hybrid learning as well as increase transparency when it comes to exposures and in-school transmissions.

Delta first responders getting vaccinated 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

It’s good news for Delta’s first responders who are now in the priority groups of getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

Fraser Health has confirmed that eligible Delta police and firefighters began booking immunization appointments on Sunday and have started receiving their COVID-19 immunizations as part of the health region’s strategy to manage high-risk and high-priority areas.

“I’m very grateful that our Delta Police officers and many of our employees who interact with the public now have the opportunity to be vaccinated,” said Chief Neil Dubord.

“This will help keep them safe, as they work every day to help ensure the safety of the public.

And I want to acknowledge all the hardworking health care workers, who’ve been on the front lines of this pandemic for so long. Thank you so much for all you do.”

Delta Fire Chief Guy McKintuck said the

members are relieved to be getting vaccinated.

“It is a huge relief, not only for me, but for our front-line staff,” he said.

“Some of the anxiety that our members have had is are we transitioning fast enough to meet the provincial requirements as far as PPE, distancing, etc. We have done a phenomenal job as a city, but as things have been changing, there has been levels of uncertainty.

Now that uncertainty is a lot less.”

The province notes that it is working with Fraser Health, Vancouver Coastal Health and Northern Health authorities to increase appointments in the high-transmission neighbourhoods, primarily using the AstraZeneca vaccine.

High-transmission communities have been prioritized based on COVID-19 cases, outbreaks and hospitalizations While North Delta has been deemed a higherrisk area, the province still is not breaking down the City of Delta’s case numbers to the indi-

vidual communities of North Delta, Ladner or Tsawwassen, something the city has requested.

According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control’s most recent monthly COVID-19 map, the City of Delta had 3,337 people infected overall from January 2020 to the end of March 2021.

That’s up 614 cases from the BCCDC’s previous month’s map, which covered the period until the end of February 2021.

The BCCDC’s weekly maps of current COVID19 cases for Delta has seen steady increases each week during April.

OPINION

B.C. government’s withholding of COVID-19 data sows harmful distrust KIRK LAPOINTE

Glacier Media

An Open Letter to Premier John Horgan, Health Minister Adrian Dix and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry: In my capacity as vice-president, editorial, of Glacier Media, I am writing to express grave concern about the provincial government’s information policies and practices during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the public’s right to know.

We are now in the second year of this battle to suppress the coronavirus. As media we take seriously our integral role in safekeeping the public from harm’s way. We have devoted enormous resources in this last year under difficult physical and economic circumstances to proudly perform our duties.

But a pattern of behaviour has emerged within this provincial government that fails to provide timely, accurate, detailed and frank information about the pandemic. This is deeply worrisome for the public we serve and you serve.

This strict and often harmful control of information has contributed to an increased public mistrust in the handling of the pandemic. We hear of this each day in our work-from-home newsrooms, and in many cases the public frustration is directed at us for not telling the full story, for defending authorities, even for being your puppets.

It is time for you to fix this problem promptly.

Data on the coronavirus in some provinces is provided by city block. In ours, it is provided generally by health authority region and only in a few cases by municipality or districts within them.

Information on occupational infection, critical in understanding the health of our province’s frontline workers, is not disclosed.

Age-related data on infections, essential in understanding the trajectory of the coronavirus, arrives many days late and is often at odds with earlier caseload data.

FILE PHOTO

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry with Premier John Horgan.

School exposures, some of the most critical data in mitigating community risk and managing community concerns, are not released for several days until contact tracing is conducted.

The R-value data, the crucial information on how many people on average are infected by individuals with COVID-19, is distorted by the exclusion of outbreaks and released only once a month.

Beyond those insufficiencies is a profound disservice to journalists attempting to fulfil their functions in a public emergency.

It is well past time we cited these fault lines.

It is taking days to receive simple responses to our questions. It is policy to deny the most basic information about the local, regional or provincial presence of COVID-19. It is basic common sense in a crisis to not have a three-day gap each week between media briefings on caseloads, hospitalizations and deaths. These briefings should provide more generous time for questions and for journalists from outside the legislative press gallery in other regions of the province.

Our access to government health experts has been cut off.

Apart from the briefings by the premier, the health minister and the provincial health officer, media may deal only with communications specialists. We are having to rely more and more

often on anonymous sources when we, and the province we serve, deserve on-the-record public accountability.

When our queries are thwarted and we resort to freedom-ofinformation requests, we have been routinely denied the information and told there are privacy issues. Other jurisdictions have conquered that base canard, but British Columbia has taken a unique and restrictive position on the matter.

One of our reporters wrote me this week to say, in part: “The lack of factual information makes it impossible to really present a full picture to the public of what is happening in the pandemic— who is getting sick and how/ why and what has happened in the most serious situations.

Especially in local areas.”

She added: “The queries I get from the public tell me that this is information the public wants.

Citizens aren’t children. They have the right to this information in order to both assess their own degree of risk and behaviour and to assess whether government policies and actions are appropriate.”

Some of our editors provided examples of the deficiencies worth noting: •Our Bowen Island publication has yet to be told officially, one year into the health crisis, whether there have been any COVID-19 cases there. Its data is combined with that of West Vancouver.

•Our Delta publication cannot get distinct COVID-19 numbers for such specific locations as North Delta, Tsawwassen and Ladner or of the ages of those with coronavirus.

•Our Whistler publication asks each week for coronavirus numbers for the community. Only twice in the year has it received the information in time for its weekly newspaper deadline.

During the recent serious outbreak, this data was constantly outdated.

•Our North Shore publication, during the outbreaks in care homes last spring, could not get the number of COVID-19 cases in them in a timely manner. It was provided information on the most recent hospital outbreak only a month later. To date it is not informed on how many infected patients are admitted to hospital or where they are from.

•Our Interior publication said it took a local doctor and the mayor at Sun Peaks to provide basic information on case counts at the resort. The health authority refused to provide numbers because an outbreak has not been declared formally. Until December, regional case data was broken into four regions within the Interior, a region larger than most European countries.

•Our Sunshine Coast publication learned without any official notice that several vaccination clinics had without warning been closed and were centralized in Sechelt in the region.

As the British Columbia media outlet with the largest online and print audience, we are prepared to help the province furnish comprehensive, coherent information amid record caseloads and a frustrating third wave.

But the onus is on this government to do what individuals and businesses have done in the pandemic – to “pivot” its approach, to trust the public and media with information to achieve a better health outcome. We welcome an immediate dialogue on this urgent matter.

Kirk LaPointe is publisher and editor-in-chief of Business in Vancouver and vice-president, editorial, of Glacier Media.

Disappointed with cycling trail upgrades Editor: Recently the City pf Delta has laid down gravel along the entire Brunswick Point trail, as well as the dike trail along river road between 34th St. and roughly 30B St. While the intent is likely a noble one by the city to improve the trail, in the process, they have effectively rendered the trail all but useless to cyclists due to the fact on much of the trail they have used coarse rocks that are loose causing bicycle tires to sink in the rocks like quicksand. This despite their futile efforts to compact the material

with a steam roller.

The baffling part is that in the section from the southern end of the dike trail at the Canoe Pass hydro substation/ Delta Port northward up to 34th St. the material is fine and compacted well and what should have been used along the entire stretch. From there to the end of 31st Ave. the material becomes coarse, but is still rideable, however thereafter, all the way north for a few km to the beginning of the trail and then the River Road section to 34B St., is covered with rough, coarser/larger gravel that

is extremely difficult to ride on. Why they used three different grades of gravel is beyond me.

On the River Road stretch of the dike trail, with River Road being suicidal to drive on due to the fact the road is narrow, without shoulders and in very poor condition and crumbling due to the lack of paving over several decades, it leaves this area, which is one of the very few cycling trails without automobiles to compete with, almost useless.

This needs to be rectified immediately.

Mr. A. J. Russell

Electric bike versus pedestrian Editor: My wife was almost run over by an inconsiderate rider of an electric bike when walking our dog early Saturday, April 9 on the foot path beside Ladner Trunk Road between 62 and 64 Street.

Although there is a clearly marked bicycle path running along this stretch of Ladner Trunk, this teenager rode his bike with high speed without

warning on the pedestrian path. Had my wife stepped in his path accidentally, never hearing his bikes silent approach, she would have been seriously injured by the speeding biker.

He took off at high speed without an apology. This is the second biker incident for her on this stretch of foot path.

Disappointed with bike ban Editor: I was wondering if anyone else was disappointed when they banned bicycles from the west end of Deas Island Regional Park?

I used to enjoy rides out there with my family.

Could they not have come up with

a compromise like with the ski boats and the paddle boats using the water way on different days and/or times?

It seems like a good compromise; this way everybody wins and nobody is banned from doing something they enjoy.

Recognizing those who serve diversified faiths Editor: As we acknowledge so many worthy volunteers in our community this week, too many to mention in this letter.

We would like to add one more group to the list who for years have

been forgotten about and under-appreciated.

Those are the dedicated people who behind the scenes work diligently for the many diversified faiths in our community.

So many ministries in our churches, from cleaning to

choirs, from reading scripture to feeding migrant workers, from fundraising to driving seniors. The list is endless.

Well done you good and faithful servants.

Charity Shoppe most definitely does need saving The City of Delta’s Annual Line Painting Program is set to begin again this year from May to October.

• This work takes place throughout the City during the late evening / early morning hours in an effort to reduce impacts to traffic.

• Noise impacts are minimal and similar to regular traffic noise.

If you have any questions regarding the program or hours of work, please contact the Engineering Department at 604-946-3260.

Editor: Re: The Charity Shoppe doesn’t need saving (Optimist, letters, April 15) Contrary to Nancy Macey’s claims, the Charity Shoppe most definitely does need saving.

The community of Delta, through generous donations, made the purchase of the Charity Shoppe possible. The Charity Shoppe was intended to be a revenue stream to fund supportive care services that all Deltans, of all origins and belief systems, can access unfettered. The current board of directors of the Delta Hospice Society has proven beyond a shadow of doubt they are more concerned with their

own agenda than serving the greater community of Delta. The community no longer trusts the board to do what is in the community’s best interests as they’ve proven they are incapable.

We’ve spent a year watching this board spend untold dollars on a losing legal battle against the citizens of Delta, the very ones they claim to want to serve. Where did the funds for this legal battle come from?

How many patients and families could have been helped with those wasted dollars?

Correspondence from the Society keeping the membership informed has been non-existent,

let alone confirming memberships have been accepted. We know they have our contact info as they had no issue emailing us all with a mass mailer when it suited their purposes regarding C-7. It seems this board is more interested in keeping the BC Catholic, Lifesite News and Rebel Media apprised of their plans than they are the very membership they are beholden to. But now, we’re supposed to trust they’ll use the Charity Shoppe for its intended purposes?

Either the board resigns or the Charity Shoppe needs saving.

Which is it going to be?

Here we go again with the weekend noise pollution Editor: Shout out to neighbours who power wash all day on the first sunny hot weekend of the year.

It would be great if, as a community we could limit ourselves to quiet environmentally and neighbour friendly

electric units, or maybe pick a nasty day to fill the neighbourhood with your annual noise.

A farewell to Marina Gardens Editor: At the end of March I downsized and left my home of 26 years. It is timely therefore to record my families thanks to the neighbourhood of Marina Gardens for the friendship and unfailing kindness I have enjoyed.

During the working years of myself and my late wife, Margaret, the corner of Clipper and Galleon was a space for gardening, family entertainment and after work recreation.

During Margaret’s 20 months of inhome palliative care in 2013/14, we

received many, many acts of kindness from the community and in the Village of Ladner.

We also acknowledge the wonderful support from Fraser Health’s Homecare service and Margaret’s many friends at that time.

I take this opportunity to acknowledge the ever friendly businesses in Ladner Village.

I hope that the new owners of 5628 Clipper will enjoy their new home and the wonderful community.

Delta providing more help for restaurants, cafes, bars SANDOR GYARMATI

The Ladner Legion is getting help from the City of Delta amid the province’s COVID-19 indoor dining closure order.

Council has approved a request from the legion branch on Delta Street to erect a permanent structure over the patio area for the next five years.

Given the desire to provide a high quality dining experience and the level of investment required to construct an enclosed awning structure, the Ladner Legion was seeking a long-term licence to occupy the area.

A report to council notes the legion plans to construct a permanent structure with awnings and retractable curtains over the encroachment area, which requires a building permit.

The licence is consistent with what has

Backyard chicken bylaw goes to public hearing 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 public will have a say on a proposed new zoning amendment which will allow homeowners to have their own backyard chickens.

Delta council has given preliminary approval for the new regulations, scheduled for resident input at a public hearing on Tuesday, April 27.

The bylaw amendment removes the current requirement of properties having chickens being located next to an agriculturally-zoned property, while no minimum lot size is proposed.

The city’s agricultural advisory committee examined the proposal, recommending that roosters be prohibited and the number of hens permitted on a property be restricted to four.

Hens will also be required to be licensed with the city and registered with the province through the Premises ID Program to assist with tracking of birds during any future disease outbreaks.

Requiring registration through the Premises ID program would align with recently announced provincial regulations starting in 2022, which will

require all livestock and poultry to be registered, a report to council notes.

A minimum number of two chickens is recommended as hens are social animals, and a solitary hen would have a poorer quality of life than hens in a small group, the report adds.

The bylaw would also require food and manure to be removed so as to reduce smell and pest impacts.

Coops and runs would be limited to a maximum of 108 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor space.

To reduce the spread of disease and pests, food

is to be kept enclosed, and excess removed in a timely manner.

A licence fee of $50 is proposed regardless of the number of hens.

Bylaw penalties would range from $100 for minor offences, such as a failure to display license tags, to $250 for slaughtering or euthanizing a hen on a residential lot.

Council agreed it wanted more information about the complaint and enforcement process at the public hearing.

Should the amendment be adopted, staff recommend the backyard chicken program be reviewed after one year.

More funding for communities to tackle racism IAN JACQUES

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

Deltassist is among the 36 organizations in 57 communities across B.C. who will share funding to help combat racism.

On Friday, the provincial government announced an additional $372,500 to the Resilience BC AntiRacism Network.

The Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network delivers co-ordinated services by connecting communities with the information, supports and training they need to respond to and prevent future incidents of racism and hate. Recently, the Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network created multilingual videos to promote what to do if someone witnesses or is the victim of a hate crime.

According to the province, Deltassist will use the funding to develop a social media administrator and moderator training curriculum to help local social media community spaces improve their capacity to respond to online racism and hate, to offer workshops on active witnessing and bystander intervention, and to refine community response protocol to incidents of racism.

School District partners with city on Giving Tree Project As part of its commitment to reconciliation, the Delta School District is planting a cedar tree at every school and district site as a way to show appreciation and respect for local First Nation culture through its Giving Tree Project.

The City of Delta has generously donated at least one cedar tree per school and district site, and will also provide the bark mulch and help to prepare the ground and plant the trees at each site.

“The role of education in building intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect is vital in advancing the journey of reconciliation,” said school board chair Val Windsor. “To understand the traditional territory we inhabit means to understand the culture of this region. Traditionally, cedar trees were in abundance here and have helped to ensure the survival of people for thousands of years.”

The cedar tree is known as the “Tree of Life” or the “Giving Tree” as it gives every part of itself to humans for survival: the roots, the bark, the boughs. Traditional uses of the cedar range from carving canoes, building the Long or Big

“The cultural significance of the cedar tree to many First Nation people along coastal and central B.C. is profound and reaches back through time immemorial,” added Mayor George Harvie. “We are pleased and honoured to be involved with the School District’s Giving Tree Project.”

Trees will be planted at all schools and other District sites

by Earth Day (April 22). Students will be taught how to make an offering to the tree as a welcome.

Thriftshopvolunteerturns100,looksforwardtoworkingagain MARK BOOTH

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

Turning 100 hasn’t dampened Charlotte England’s enthusiasm for returning to her duties at the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society’s thrift shops.

The Augustine House resident celebrated her milestone birthday on Monday, organized by her daughter Louise, Augustine recreation manager Tim Bowman and friends.

England has volunteered at the thrift shops since 2002 and was working last spring when the operation was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She vows she will be back once health restrictions are eased enough for the stores to be safely back in full operation.

“I will go as soon as I can,” she said. “It isn’t a ‘wow’ that I am still doing it. Many people in our community work there to keep the hospital going because that’s where all the funds go.”

England’s humour

is sharp as ever. She recalled growing up with her four siblings in Saskatchewan and how her mom was left deaf in one ear as a victim of the Spanish Flu in 1918.

“We were naughty, naughty kids,” she laughed. “When we were teenagers and stayed out too late we always hoped mother was sleeping on her good ear so she couldn’t hear us come home.”

After graduating from high school, it was The Second World War and England left for Montreal

to assemble armory guns for the Canadian Armed Forces. She eventually made her way to Vancouver in 1944 to attend nursing school.

She trained at St. Paul’s Hospital and was the valedictorian for her graduation class. She met her future husband Les in 1945 and the couple married three years later.

He earned his law degree at UBC and became a liaison officer for the Judge Advocate General (JAG). This led to the family moving to Ottawa and then

to Germany for three years. The couple had six children and England worked as a nurse until she was 70.

She has spent much of her life as an avid golfer, taking up the game when she was 14. At 88, she was the oldest player to participate in the Arctic Open in Iceland, held annually in June.

“Those are the type of fun things that can happen when you live a century,” chuckled England.

“I love my life and want to live another 100 years if I may.”

Delta Stageworks presents online writing workshop Delta Stageworks is announcing a four-week online writing workshop coming in May called ‘My Mother’s Story’. The program is led by Marilyn Norry, Vancouver actor and author, and a member of the Delta Stageworks artistic team for 2021.

“Since 2004 Marilyn has taken this amazing writing program she developed to communities all over B.C. and around the world to tremendous acclaim,” says artistic director Peg Keenleyside. “So we’re so pleased to bring this program to Delta; especially in the month of May when we celebrate our mothers’ lives, and at a time when many of us are feeling isolated and craving some creativity.”

The My Mother’s Story writing workshop will run on Tuesday evenings from May 4 to 25 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom. Interested participants do not have to have prior writing experience. A series of exercises and editing guidance are provided. The cost is $65, and registration details are available at: www.deltastageworks.ca.

“The journey you’ll take over our four weeks together is to write the story of your mother’s life, from beginning to end, just the facts, where you are just one of the facts,” said Norry. “All in 2,000 words. In writing this story you will discover things about yourself, your mother, and your family that perhaps you never knew before.”

VIRTUAL PUBLIC BOARD MEETING WHEN:

Tuesday, May 4, 2021 | 7:00 - 8:30 pm.

The Fraser Health Board of Directors will be answering your pre-submitted questions during our virtual public board meeting. Please submit your question ahead of time to fraserhealth.ca/BoardQs. The question and answer period is an opportunity to ask questions and hear directly from the Board.

Marilyn Norry

Delta Stageworks got its start in 2020 and has a mandate to provide inclusive arts programming to the Delta community.

Keenleyside encourages diverse voices to participate in the program.

“Your mother’s childhood experiences may have taken place a long way from your life in Canada and this is a great way to document those stories about her before they’re forgotten,” she said.

The artistic team hopes that come fall, more in-person activities will be able to take place and that the stories emerging from the My Mother’s Story workshop at Delta Stageworks can develop into an evening of storytelling where writers share their mothers’ stories with the community.

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Matthew 7:24.

Every house has a foundation. A house refers not only to a home but to your life, dreams, family, purpose and relationships. No house will stand for long unless it has a strong foundation. We need a strong foundation.

“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.”

Isaiah 28:16.

Today we can see a lot of cracks and panic all around us. If you wind up with cracks and panic in the walls of your life, it is usually due to a faulty or shifting foundation. Panic and cracks within your family, your kids. Panic in your finances, your rela-

tionships, your politics.

Also, very sensitive and current racial panic and class cracks in our culture and society.

The panic in our lives has broken out everywhere around us and among us. As a result, we spend a great amount of our time, effort and money trying to patch up the cracks so we can make things only look better.

And for a while they do look better. But these are temporary fixes and they don’t address the root problems. Before long, we discover the panic and cracks reappear.

The real problem is that our foundation keeps moving if it’s not built on the rock but built on sand.

It is not solidified and anchored. Any structure that rests on a weak foundation will have panic cracks in its walls.

A life that is resting on a weak foundation, will manifest its weakness when the storm hits when change is required.

And any structure that rests on a weak foundation will soon have cracks in its walls.

A strong spiritual foundation is the key to a successful life. Jesus is that solid foundation you need.

Trust His ways - they will solidify your life.

Jason Fung will run his first-ever marathon in the memory of his sister while raising money for her favourite place too.

On April 29, the 22-year-old from South Delta will embark on “Sophia’s Marathon” a 42.2 km trek that will start at Centennial Beach and take him through Tsawwassen and Ladner while running past some of his sister’s favourite spots.

It was Jan. 1, 2017 when Sophia Fung passed away at the age of 16.

She was born with a rare life-limiting illness and spent much of her life in and out of hospitals. She was diagnosed at birth with a genetic abnormality that encompassed the majority of her organs and systems. Her last few years became increasingly difficult as she devel-

Despite her medical challenges, she was an inspiration to those around her by living life to the fullest. Jason admits it took a number of years to accept the loss of his sister.

“It was a pretty weird

time for me. I don’t think I was at the point to acknowledge and reflect the impact it was on my life,” he said. “Over the past year I have really taken the time for myself to reflect and it has really been beneficial for me. I wanted to do something for her and Canuck Place (Children’s Hospice) which was huge for me.

She loved that place like anything and it’s where she passed away. It means a lot to me.”

An avid runner, Fung decided to take his leisurely jogs much further by running his first marathon for Sophia.

He juggled his studies at Kwantlen University and a part-time job by starting a running endur-

ance program back in January. He has been regularly running half marathons for the past couple months. His final “warm-up” was a 32 kilometre trek on April 15.

“I want to do something that was difficult and challenging for myself. Not just something I could do in one weekend. It takes a lot of commitment and like they idea of running to all the different places where she lived,” he explained.

A Sophia’s Marathon fundraiser page was launched on the Canuck Place website https:// my.canuckplace.org/fundraiser/3141799. Fung’s initial goal was to raise $1,000 but that total has already been surpassed and has since been changed to $5,000 and he is halfway to the new target.

“It’s super touching,” he added. “So many people are reaching out and supporting me. It’s been really, really nice to see.”

Young entrepreneurs at Delta Secondary School have wasted little time in making a difference in their community.

Overseen by teacher Jayson McNaughton, a business program is up-and-running again at the Ladner high school for students in grades 10-to-12. It has resulted in the launching of an online Pacer Store (www. pacerstore.ca) that showcases class projects as well as the efforts of the DSS commerce club.

“The store campaign project is about engaging in commercial and social marketing. Give them the opportunity to do something real,” explained McNaughton. “Every item sold at the Pacer Store has a defined charitable contribution to it. Students will vote on where the money goes.

“It’s the first year we have had business offered at the school in a couple of years and there seems to be penned up entrepreneurial energy I would say.”

bag project. “Free the Michaels” is to raise awareness and funds for Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, currently imprisoned in China. They are available for $10 each.

Other items featured in the Pacer Store include re-usable and disposable face masks and DSS water bottles. All merchandise can be ordered online, via email at order@pacerstore.ca or through DSS business students with curbside pick-up available.

The school has its own heat press machine which keeps the costs down and provides flexibility for custom orders.

Upcoming projects include key chains and mementos to recognize another school year amid the pandemic, and a “dogs on everything” campaign where customers provide a photo of their favourite pooch to be heat pressed onto a variety of products.

McNaughton added the business program will expand next year to include an E-Commerce 12 class and he hopes to eventually create an entry point for grade 8s and up.

HORSING

AROUND

D E L T A

A note from Delta Riding Club Delta has always had a strong relationship with horses. As a farming community since 1968, horses were traditionally seen pulling plows and wagons in the fields and were vital to farm operations. Patterson Park was once home to Standardbred trotters and pacers.

Families would flock to the park on the weekends and fill the grandstands with up to 6,000 people from all over B.C. and even the United States to watch the exciting races.

While the track closed in 1968 and horses are no longer seen pulling plows in the farmer’s fields, our love of horses is alive and well. In recent years, families come to Delta from all over Metro Vancouver to attend “Day at the Farm” on Westham Island (suspended during the pandemic) to see all things farming, including a horse plowing demonstration.

For more hands on opportunities in Delta’s own backyard, we have everything from grass roots facilities to top level competition barns and everything in between. There are programs for riders from beginners to very competitive, some of whom have represented our country in top level events. We also have a therapeutic riding association that offers programs especially developed for children and adults who are faced with life challenges.We have a rescue facility that rescues neglected and mistreated horses and then rehomes them to qualified adopters and relies on donations from generous horse

lovers to do their valuable work. Perhaps you’re not interested in riding but would like to be involved? Volunteering is an excellent and much needed opportunity.

During the pandemic, many facilities had to close their programs, but most have reopened with strict COVID protocols in place. Current restrictions have put competitions on hold for now, but with programs reopened there is much “horsing around” to do in Delta. While the cost of owning a horse can be prohibitive for many people, ownership is not necessary to participate. Many local barns offer programs and partial leases and lessons where ownership is not required. This is an excellent way to introduce yourself or your child to the caring for and riding of a horse.

The peacefulness that one feels when simply ‘hanging out’ with their horse is something that I have never appreciated more than during this pandemic. Going to the barn to do chores, grooming and riding my horse provides a much needed break from the realities of our current world. Like many fellow equestrians, I feel so fortunate to have horses as my hobby and sport, especially now. Improvising a saying from Winston Churchill, “there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a ‘person’”, has never felt more true. ~ Pam Paton, President, Delta Riding Club

Paxton undergoes season-ending surgery MARK BOOTH

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

James Paxton’s 2021 season lasted just 24 pitches.

The Seattle Mariners pitcher underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in Los Angeles last week.

A second opinion from a surgeon confirmed an earlier diagnosis after the 32-year-old departed in the second inning of his 2021 debut against the Chicago White Sox on April 6 with discomfort in his throwing arm.

“It’s certainly very unfortunate. I feel terrible for Pax having to deal with this one again,” said Seattle manager Scott Servais in an interview on MLB.com. “If I know Pax he will take the right attitude with it and go forward and try to make the best out of it and come back stronger than ever.”

The Delta Secondary graduate signed a one-year deal worth $8.5 million (US) to return to Seattle after being traded to the New York Yankees at the end of the 2018 season. He was impressive in his pair of spring training starts this year, striking out 17 and allowing just four hits in 8.1 innings of work. However, he was held back from his regular season debut then left the game in the second inning.

He was coming off an injuryplagued 2020 season with the Yankees that dimmed hopes of a bigger and longer contract as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career.

Paxton worked just 20.1 innings,

going 1-1 with a 6.64 ERA before being sidelined with a left flexor strain. He was also coming off back surgery last January.

Paxton’s progress from the injury was showcased back in December during a workout for MLB scouts in Bellevue, WA where he makes his offseason home with his wife Katie.

“I’m comfortable here in Seattle.

I love the group here and excited to be part of it,” said Paxton back in February.

His earlier six-year run with the Mariners was highlighted by a nohitter against the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018. He went 11-6 that year. Paxton also enjoyed immediate success in New York, with a 15-6 record in 2019.

Extra bases…

Paxton’s surgery continues a trend of hard luck for homegrown pitchers who have been drafted and have taken their careers to the professional level. One-time Toronto Blue Jays prospect Tom Robson was force to retire in 2018, at just 24, with lingering arm troubles. The Ladner native underwent Tommy John surgery four years earlier.

After being selected 53rd overall by the Cincinnati Reds in the MLB Draft, Kyle Lotzkar dealt with significant arm issues coming through the Reds’ farm system and also underwent Tommy John surgery in 2008. The PHOTO BY SEATTLE MARINERS/MLB Tsawwassen native never was able to return to his early form and eventu- The long recovery process is underway for James Paxton after the Ladner native underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in Los Angeles last week. ally retired in 2016.

Keegan Kozack

Keegan Kozack’s impressive freshman season has got the attention of the Metro Athletic Conference (MAAC).

The 19-year-old from Ladner has been named MAAC Co-Rookie of the Week after netting hat tricks in back-to-back games for the Canisius College Golden Griffins against rival St. Bonadventure.

In the first match-up against the Bonnies at the Demske Sports Complex on April 6, Kozack scored twice in the second quarter before completing his hat trick with

the eventual game-winning goal midway through the fourth to help the Buffalo school post an 11-9 victory.

During the second game of the series down at the Marra Athletics Complex in Olean on April 11, Kozack notched a manup goal in the second quarter and added another man-up marker in the third before finishing off his hat trick with an unassisted effort in the fourth in a 12-11 setback.

He is the first Canisius rookie to post hat tricks in consecutive games since current junior attackman Jacob Buck finished his freshman season with back-to-back hat tricks in 2019.

Kozack followed his big week up with two more goals in a 16-12 loss to Quinnipiac last Saturday.

Through seven games, he leads the team with 13 goals and ranks second in points with 16.

He accepted a scholarship offer from Canisius after an impressive three-year stint at Blue Ridge where he captained the senior varsity team at the Virginia boarding school in his grade 11 and 12 years.

Kozack also thrives in the box version of the game and is part of a strong 2002 age group coming through the Delta Islanders junior program.

Dave Hamilton

There are those who enjoy bo oth life and serv rvice v e to others s. David George Ha amilton was one of them. Born in Edson, Albert rta ta, in 1956, Dave died at home e in Tsawwassen with his part rtner t by his sid de on n March 29 aft fter t a long, determined run aga ainst prostate cancer.

Dave, the third d child of Gordon and Marg guerite Hamilton, spen nt early years s in Richmond, Kelowna, Lillooet, 150 Mile House an nd Williams La ake before moving to Terrrace in the early 1970s. He finished high school there, starte ted working an nd developed what would be life-long intere ests in sport rts, t communitty and d serv rvice. v In 199 92 Dave wa as a Cha arte ter member off th he Tsa a Rota ary y Club.

Da ave’s contrib butions ha ave been report rted t

by Th he Optimiist: his commitmen nt to community through h business groups, and his commitm mentt to this s community and communiities around d the wo orld d through Rotary ry y Club, as a Rotarian, ex xec cutive board member, and District Governorr. Those contributions will continue through h bursarie es an nd awa ards in his name.

A story ry y that hasn’t been told is that of his deep p re elationship with family, pa articularly rtt his son, Kirk, and the e young ger ge eneration ns. Dave attended niec ces’’

weddings and graduatio ons, and met them when he could. He made regula ar visitts to family who still live in Terrace and made sure he was available for impromptu family gattherrings. Despite a busy schedule and an active e life, he kept in touch, in person and through so ocial mediia. That commitment to family continued through his last years, despite his illness.

Dave’s deepestt relationship was with his son, Kirk.

They got toge ether oft ften, t and Dave e off ffered f his all to support rtt Kirk’s goals and asp pirations. When he spoke of Kirk, it was clear that Dav ve was proud of the you ung man he has become e. Dave also o maintained d a friendly re elationship with h his former wife, Irene e, and Kirk’s grandmotther, Ros sie.

Dave was a succes ssful high school athlete. He e found jo oy, a competittive outlet and cama araderie on the ball diamond. His lo ove of sport rts t was s consttantt throughout this life an nd, for as long as he was s able e, there was curling g, softball, ftt and golf. It was nev ver just abo out the compe etittion: For Dave, it was abo out sharin ng goo od times and d frie endship.

Duane Ham milton, a cou usin, rememberrs Dave e’s s lau ugh. “I don’t think I ever mett anyone who o laug ghed so o easiily. His great sense of hum mour made him a plleasure e to be e arou und.””

Dave liked to enjoy himself. He loved d to dance.

He approached life with zest, a desire to serv rve ve and an attitude thatt there were no problems, only siituations in sea arch of solutions. He felt there we ere fe ew challeng ges that could not be tackled, when n tak ken on to ogether.

Da ave is s su urvived rv v by his part rtner, t Tanya Hall, his son Kirk, his step-mother Betty, and a large group of brothe ers, sisters, cousins, aunts, nieces and ne ephews..

A memorial service will be held Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the Delta Funeral Home, live-streamed at http p://www.liv vememorialservices.com/home// servicedetail/12 2436, followed by intermentt witth his mother, Marrguerite, and father, Gord don,, at Mountaiinview Cemetery in Vancouver.

A born and bred Vancouver girl, Mum came up surrounded by extended kin in the Kitsilano community, followed by Kerrisdale/Arbutus Ridge.

She left Vancouver to join her dashing, careersoldier husband, George, at various Canadian postings. She and Dad raised three Air Force Brats and the sound of music was a constant. Gloria was a consummate gardener, homemaker and cook, even while working outside of the home.

After a few short years of retirement and enjoying civilian life in their very own house, Dad’s passing was a huge loss. From then on, Mum’s world revolved around her daughters; she uprooted once more to join her girls in Ladner. And it was a good fit - she thrived! She played piano for, and was blessed to hold, 10 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Gloria continued to play, for the gratification of neighbours and family alike. Every week, Mum drove her flashy red Plymouth Scamp to Mountainview Manor at Delta Hospital to play her regular “Singalong with Gloria”.

OBITUARIES

BRZOZA, Maria (Babula) September 08, 1927 - April 11, 2021 It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and babcia, Maria Brzoza, affectionately known as “Babi” on Sunday, April 11, 2021. Predeceased by her husband Ted (1997) and eldest son Stan (2008), Maria is survived by her daughter-in-law Donna, daughters; Donna Boychuk (Doug), Sophie Angelopulos (George), and Aileen Anthony, sons; Fred, John (Kim), and Mick (Cathy). Along with twenty grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Maria also had numerous nieces and nephews in Poland and the United States, all of whom she adored and kept in touch with regularly.

Maria and Ted immigrated to Canada from Poland in 1959 with four children, settled in Regina, SK and raised their family of seven. In addition to raising a large family, Maria managed an immaculate household and tended a bountiful garden. In the evenings, she worked at the University of Regina until her retirement.

Maria enjoyed travelling, having made numerous trips back to Poland, other parts of Europe and the US, to visit family and friends - she particularly enjoyed her holidays in Maui. To fulfill her son Stan’s wishes and be closer to family, Maria and daughter-in-law Donna moved to Tsawwassen, BC, in 2011.

Maria will always be remembered for her love of family, kind heart, infectious smile, and of course, her delicious Polish cooking!

Her age did not reflect her stamina or zeal for life.

We all relied upon her amazing memory of past dates and events. She continued her daily walks and enjoyed meeting up with neighbours until her last day.

Our family will be forever grateful to our incredible and selfless sister-in-law Donna, for the loving care and attention she gave our mother for the many years they lived together.

Due to COVID-19, a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (https://www.heartandstroke.ca/).

We love and will miss you forever Babi.

BODELL, Marlene Joyce June 6, 1947 − April 15, 2021 It is with heartfelt sadness, grief, anger, and relief that I inform you of mom’s passing.

Marlene Joyce Bodell (Balmer) left her pain behind on April 15, 2021, at the Melville Hospice in White Rock, and joins her friends and family in the heavens above for everlasting comfort.

She was my Energizer Bunny and Thomas the Tank Engine combined; the strongest person I have ever known. My Marlene the Tank Engine.

She was a sister, a mother, and a grandmother.

One whose spirit, will, and determination left an indelible mark on many.

She loved her family, her friends, but more than anything else, her grandkids. If true love was ever to be found, it was between her and them.

For many reasons, we are going to delay any Celebration of Life.

She is survived by her family, Derron, Laura, Alexander, and Forbes; and Shirley, Harvey, and Corrine.

Mathew 11−28: Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mum traveled with family, and also explored Europe and the Holy Lands with the St. Joe’s travel group. She absolutely adored her Alaskan cruise with her girls …… She wasn’t, however, especially fond of exploring Ladner Village from the vantage point of a wheelchair!

And yes, that very determined little old lady with the walker, making her way from Hwy 17 overpass to Save-On, to use a coupon - that was our mother!

Our mother’s last few years were hard on her, dementia robbing her of most things she held dear; 2020/21 most devastating, the hardest of all.

Stubbornly independent, Mum fought the losses…

Many thanks to those folk at Sacred Heart Church (adios! Sunday Breakfast crew), Augustine House, West Shore Laylum, and Delta View, especially those who went beyond their calling to comfort our Mum. A special shout out to “Stephanie” of Home Instead - Thanks for “getting” our Mum; you were treated as a surrogate daughter.

Gloria has been laid to rest with our Dad, at the Gardens of Gethsemani, South Surrey.

Mum would have appreciated donations in her name to Chalice, Canada (https://www.chalice.ca/) and also to the Alzheimers Society of BC (https://alzheimer.ca/bc/en).

We love you Mum!

TAYLOR, Christopher (Chris) A.T. March 22, 1962 − April 3, 2021 Chris left us on April 3, 2021, after a long battle with MS. After spending his childhood in Montreal, Chris and family moved to Tsawwassen, and he graduated from SDSS, where he enjoyed playing football with the Sun Devils. He also loved playing golf at the Beach Grove Golf Club. He then lived and worked for many years in Oakville, Ontario, prior to returning to BC 15 years ago. Chris had a real passion for classic film and tv and enjoyed his special meals and desserts. Chris is survived by his parents, Robin Newton (Cameron) and Bob Taylor (Carole); brothers, Rob, Steve, Derek (Jonny), and Glen; and sister, Melissa. Chris will be missed so much by his family and friends, including many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. A small memorial for immediate family will be held at a later date.

HANCE, Reid William May 14, 1974 - April 14, 2021 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Reid William Hance on April 14, 2021.

Reid is survived by his loving wife Melissa and his beloved sons Liam and Luke, along with his extended family and many friends. Reid was predeceased by his mother Candace Reid and his father Peter Hance.

Reid was a dedicated employee with Air Canada for 15 years and has spent the last 10 years with Exclusive Floors.

Reid was a devoted father who coached his boys in all of their sporting activities. Reid’s passion for the outdoors was heavily influenced by his fatherin-law Ray which resulted in a life long bond.

A celebration of Reid’s life will be held at a later date. Photos and memories are welcomed so that his sons can remember his legacy. Please email reidhance.memories@gmail.com.

STEWART, Heather May

Call: 604-574-8822 Email: Bakerview@telus.net Head Office 34863 Cemetery Avenue, Mission, BC

www.bakerviewcrematorium.com

My sister, Heather May Stewart, passed quietly on Thursday, March 31st, 2021 in Delta, BC. We are thankful she is no longer in pain.

She was predeceased by her parents George and Dorothy Stewart. She is survived by her brother Gordon Stewart (Nancy) of Winnipeg, and sister Diane Krepp of Kelowna. She was a loving aunt to many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews around the world. She will also be missed by her numerous cousins across Canada.

Heather was born in Winnipeg on May 18, 1949.

She was a fun-loving sister and we shared lots of laughs as a family. Heather was an Air Canada flight attendant which allowed her to see many parts of the world, collecting glamorous boyfriends and great memories along the way. Singing and playing the guitar was just one of her many talents.

We are so appreciative of all the years she devoted to looking after our parents, until they passed. Her love of animals, especially Samantha her fur baby of 17 years, was a particular joy. After Sammy died, she took on the care of many other dogs and cats.

Her quirky laugh, beautiful smile and energy meant she had numerous friends, many of whom have reached out to us with great stories. Her neighbours told us of Heather’s welcoming nature, helping with day-to-day chores, sharing a laugh, or just stopping to chat. Her love of thrifting was legendary, and she collected many beautiful things which she treasured.

We have shared lots of tears, hugs and laughs as we go through Heather’s things repeating “Oh Heather, Heather”. Heather loved her garden and especially her glorious cherry tree, which blossomed the week she died, and reminded us of her beautiful soul.

Heather will be missed.

One house down... one more to go.

Then one more to rent...and one more to own.

What a juggling act.

Brian and Harry were our realtors when we were looking to purchase our first home. As first time buyers we had lots of questions and they took the time to answer all of them and make sure we understood the ins and outs of owning your first home. Thank you to you both for helping us find our perfect first home! Andrew & Jen. Brian and Harry listed our house in Tsawwassen and we had an offer within days. They did not stop their work at that time; instead they continued to market the house in case there were any hiccups (there were none!!). They followed through and helped right until the closing. Overall an excellent process and they were a pleasure to deal with. We really appreciated their hard work and commitment to getting us the best deal. Thanks, Bill & Irene.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS “Tom is simply the most impressive agent I have ever come across.

We had a short timeframe that we wanted to get our house listed and sold. Tom was on the ball in every aspect, was a tireless worker, and was extremely thorough and professional. He kept every promise that he made, and he got results on the sale of our home. Couldn’t recommend any agent more highly than Tom. Thanks for everything you did to make our house sale as stress-free as possible.”

“We listed a home with Tomand were very impressed with his level of professionalism and knowledge of the housing market. Tom helped us navigate through several offers, ultimately we sold the property in underamonth and at top dollar. If you are buying or selling a home, wewould highly recommend Tomas your realtor.”

When we found our dream home, Tom’s business background and negotiation skills really came into play. You won’t regret using Mr. Thomas Yingling for all your real estate needs.”

“We have bought and sold so many times that when it comes to realtors, we tend to be very picky!! We needed our house sold quickly and for as much as we could get out of it. Tom listed it on Friday and by Thursday we had an accepted offer with a pricewe were very happywith. Tom is very professional, and his work is top quality! I would highly recommend him!

“At the time we decided to purchase a new home, we had already chosen our desired location. We were fortunate tomeet Tom Yingling at open house, and immediately knew we wanted him to guide us through the process of purchasing our new home. Tom was extremely knowledgeable and educated us on South Delta real estate. We quickly found out that real estatewas his passion.

He understood our needs vs wants, and always provided us with good insight on the pros and cons of each property we viewed. We especially valued Tom’s feedback because he was so informative.

“Tom was extremely professional, organized, ambitious and on point with the marketing. Due in large part to his efforts and meticulous preparation, the house sold in 2 days toawonderful family from out of town. It was a win-win transaction for all, and surprisingly pleasant and stress-free (except for the showings, thankfully I was out of town haha)!”
