STEVESTON INSIDER Publisher's Note ___ Guide to Shops, Services, Food & Events __

Greetings, Steveston!

As summer begins to wind down, there's still plenty happening around our waterfront village before fall arrives.

The 79th annual Steveston Salmon Festival was a fantastic way to celebrate Canada Day. Next up are the Richmond Maritime Festival and Culture Days, along with three remaining dates for the Steveston Farmers & Artisans Market. The Steveston Dragon Boat Festival will not take place in 2026, as organizers have postponed the event due to regional scheduling challenges and other major local events.

The Steveston Merchants Association (SMA) continues its outreach as we work toward establishing a Business Improvement Area.

Plan to attend the next information session on August 20, featuring a special guest speaker from BIA BC. Local government elections will be held on October 17, when voters will elect one Mayor, eight Councillors and seven School Trustees.

Be sure to make your voice heard.

It is great to see filming return to the village with productions including The Probability of Miracles and Fender.

and his family, the team behind Village Curry.

What began as Harpreet’s dream of opening an authentic Indian restaurant has grown into one of Steveston’s favourite dining destinations.

Since opening in 2021, their commitment to quality food, innovation and community has led to a second location in Surrey and a move to a larger waterfront space on Bayview Street.

For decades, visitors have lined up at Granville Island to enjoy Lee’s Donuts, a Vancouver favourite known for its handmade treats and cherished family recipe. In this issue, we introduce you to Pam, the local owner who brought Lee’s first Richmond location to Steveston in 2024. Learn why Steveston was the perfect fit for Lee’s Donuts and how the shop has become a favourite stop along the boardwalk.

We also welcome three new businesses to the village, Astra Learning Academy, Dona Donair, Richlea Bakery, and Snack Corner. After several years of serving Steveston, Kun's Omakase Bar will be relocating to River Rock Casino, where it will reopen under the new name Koi. As we look ahead to fall, plans are already underway for two of the village's favourite traditions: the Steveston Scarecrow Crawl and Trick-or-Treating in the Village. We hope you enjoy this issue of Steveston Insider, and we'll see you around the village.

VILLAGE CURRY:

From a Dream to a Steveston Favourite Story by Sarah Gordon | Photos by Sandra Steier & Carolynne Palla When Harpreet and Jagwinder Gill opened Village Curry on Moncton Street in April 2021, they were fulfilling a dream that had been years in the making. The couple moved to Canada in 2015 in search of a better future.

They spent their early years in Canada working multiple jobs while settling into their new lives and creating opportunities for their two children.

Opening a restaurant was always a long-term goal for Harpreet, but balancing work, family responsibilities and building a new life meant that dream had to wait.

"As the kids grew into young adults and started chasing their own dreams, I felt inspired to finally give my dream a chance too. Cooking has always been a passion for me; it is deeply connected to our culture, family, and home life."

As Steveston residents, the Gills saw the area as an ideal place to open a restaurant. “Steveston is a food hub in Richmond,” Harpreet says.

“Not only local residents but also many visitors love to come here for the food.”

From the beginning, Village Curry was a true family effort.

It began as a small takeout-focused restaurant.

Harpreet and Jagwinder worked in the kitchen while their daughter, Nimrat, son, Abhay, and niece, Anureet, helped at the front of the restaurant. As Nimrat and Abhay pursued their own professions, Anureet and her husband 8

Gurshan took on greater roles in the business, serving as managers at the Steveston and Surrey locations.

"We still remember our very first customer. An older gentleman riding by on his bike stopped in for a cup of tea and some naan on our opening day,” he recalls.

“It sounds like such a simple order, but at the time, it created complete excitement and chaos in the kitchen because it was our family’s very first order ever running a restaurant. Looking back, moments like that really shaped the way we approached the business.”

Community support has helped Village Curry grow steadily over the years.

Village Curry expanded to open a second restaurant in Surrey in May 2023. In June 2025, the Steveston location moved into a larger space on Bayview Street.

"Our goal was simply to build something stable and serve good food consistently," Harpreet says. Over time, that consistency attracted

August 15 - October 1, 2026

customers from farther afield, and the original location could no longer meet demand.

“Expansion happened very organically over time rather than being part of some large business plan from the start. From the outside, it may have looked like rapid growth, but for us, it felt like years of steady work, long hours and slowly building trust within the community."

The Steveston restaurant features a proper kitchen, increased dine-in seating, a larger team, a liquor bar, patio seating with a waterfront view and an expanded menu.

Today, Village Curry offers more than 165 menu items. One of the things that makes the restaurant different is the development of 14 different curry bases that can be paired with different proteins and vegetables, giving customers greater variety and flexibility.

"We're always testing new ideas and refining dishes.”

“A big inspiration behind that has been creativity and wanting to offer something unique while still staying true to authentic flavours.”

Among the restaurant's most popular dishes are its three styles of butter chicken, methi malai curry, chicken tikka masala, rara lamb and shahi paneer. The menu also features clayoven roasted meats, biryani, fresh naan and vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Lunch specials include fish and chips topped with masala, butter curry packs and Punjabi quesadillas, a fusion of Mexican and Indian cuisines.

Harpreet’s own favourites include fish tikka, mushroom duplex, methi malai paneer, and Lahori chicken kadahi. Anureet recommends the paneer makhmali tikka, a unique dish they invented at home.

For first-time visitors, they recommend starting with the fish tikka, followed by the restaurant’s classic butter chicken served with garlic naan.

Spice levels can be adjusted from mild to extra hot, with staff often guiding first-time diners through the menu to help match dishes to personal preference.

location, Village Curry remains grounded in the same approach it started with.

“Our recipes were developed through our own experience and experimentation rather than copied from somewhere else,” Harpreet says.

“We also offer a large variety of appetizers and dishes that are not common at most Indian restaurants in the Lower Mainland.

Numerous guests tell us our curries taste noticeably different from what they usually find elsewhere, and we take a lot of pride in that.”

Village Curry 3791 Bayview Street Richmond, BC V7E 0A4 778-776-6660 villagecurry.ca

The encouragement of Steveston residents has been central to the restaurant’s success.

“Their trust, encouragement and loyalty have helped us grow from a small family-run operation into what we are today.”

Seeing longtime customers return, often bringing the next generation with them, is especially meaningful.

“Many of our customers have been with us since the beginning and their encouragement has helped shape our growth. What we love most is seeing the reaction when someone tries our curry for the first time,” he says. “That moment of surprise is what we work for.”

LEE'S DONUTS STEVESTON: Donuts With a View

Story by Sarah Gordon | Photos submitted & by Carolynne Palla Visiting Lee’s Donuts is a quintessential Steveston experience. As you approach the glass-fronted waterfront bakery, the irresistible aroma of warm sugar and freshly fried dough draws you inside. Few storefronts can rival its picturesque setting, where handcrafted donuts and river views come together.

For franchisees Pam Capitulo and Graham Slack, both raised in Richmond, the setting was a natural fit. “We always take visitors to Steveston,” says Pam. “It’s such an idyllic place. We love the community.” They knew this was the place to open their franchise. The Steveston location will celebrate its second anniversary in September.

Lee’s Donuts is a Vancouver success story.

Founded by Alan and Betty-Ann Lee, the small family-run shop opened in the Granville Island Public Market in 1979. Over the years, it became a Vancouver staple, known for lineups of donut enthusiasts eagerly anticipating Lee’s signature classics.

16

StevestonInsider.com

In 2018, a group of local entrepreneurs took over the brand, aiming not to reinvent it but to build on what already existed. Willowbrook Mall became the first franchise location, followed by Steveston. Lee’s Donuts has now grown to 12 locations. Alan passed away in 2014, but the family legacy he and BettyAnn built continues to shape the company’s growth. Betty-Ann remains proud that Lee’s Donuts is expanding into new neighbourhoods while still honouring its roots.

The Steveston donut shop was designed to feel like it belonged on the waterfront. Nautical touches echo the fishing village outside, while reclaimed wood defines much of the interior. The wood came from an old barn and was carefully restored and milled by a local craftsman.

“We wanted the space to feel warm, authentic, and reflective of Steveston’s history,” Pam explains. “Using reclaimed barn wood felt like a meaningful way to pay homage to the community’s heritage. Knowing the wood was restored through a program that helped people earn community service hours made it even more special.”

August 15 - October 1, 2026

One feature was never up for debate. The openconcept kitchen was a must in the design so customers can watch the process of making and serving fresh donuts daily. That decision has become central to the shop’s identity. Visitors often pause at the glass to see the dough being cut, fried, and glazed before their eyes.

Lee’s Donuts recently introduced a new premium coffee program featuring rich, full-bodied beans with smooth chocolate notes. The blend was carefully selected to complement the bakery’s signature handcrafted donuts, giving customers another reason to stop in for a morning coffee before strolling through Steveston Village, or to enjoy a fresh donut and coffee along the waterfront.

The original recipes remain at the heart of the business.

The work begins long before the waterfront

wakes up. Between 5 and 6 a.m., bakers begin preparing dough using the original Lee’s recipes. Both cake and yeast donuts are made fresh throughout the day, with batches constantly moving from the fryer to the finishing table.

Pam and Graham both went through donut training. “It was definitely one of the highlights,” she says with a laugh. Learning the process allowed them to train their own team and maintain consistency.

On weekends, the Steveston shop normally serves more than 650 new and returning customers. The honey dip remains the bestseller, a staple since the earliest days of Lee’s Donuts. “It’s hard to keep them in stock,” Pam says.

Since opening, the Steveston shop has quickly become part of the community.

Lee’s Donuts has taken part in local events, including the Steveston Icebreaker 8K, where the donut mascot Johnny Glaze made an appearance, and has partnered with businesses such as A Monkey Tree and the Steveston Hotel. The shop also supports school and sports fundraisers and participates in events like the OneAbility Games at the Richmond Oval.

“I really enjoy being part of the Lee’s Donuts family,” she says. “The company is about being part of communities: building relationships, creating traditions, and making meaningful connections that extend far beyond the products we sell.”

Cookie Monster is a top seller, while sprinklecovered donuts remain a favourite for younger customers. Cheesecake-topped varieties also continue to grow in popularity.

The shop also accepts pre-orders for weddings, birthdays, and other celebrations, with custom designs available for special events.

When asked what makes the ultimate donut, Pam doesn't hesitate. "It has to be perfectly round, with the perfect amount of toppings and golden crispiness."

National Donut Day exceeded their wildest dreams.

“On June 5, we had people lined up outside the door before we opened, and that continued until we closed,” Pam recalls. “We served 450 customers in just over nine hours.”

Canada Day brought a similar pace, but with a different atmosphere. For the first time, the team set up a tent in the Spirit of Steveston zone. Donuts sold steadily throughout the day as staff carried trays through the crowds.

“It was such a fun experience,” she says. “We had to restock our donuts a few times, and people kept stopping to say how amazing everything smelled.” One of Pam’s favourite parts of the day wasn’t the sales, but the people. “We served nearly 1,000 customers and met so many first-time Lee’s Donuts fans. It was wonderful to be able to share that experience with them.”

The Steveston store is always experimenting with new ideas. This summer, Lee’s Donuts expanded into the Richmond Night Market, where it served its bestselling honey dip along with donut bites, available exclusively at the market.

For Pam, the most meaningful part of the work isn’t the scale of production or the success of seeing long lineups; it’s the small moments inside the shop. “I love seeing kids’ reactions when they look through the display case.”

Judging by the steady stream of people popping in for their favourite donut or simply stopping by to watch the bakers at work, Steveston has welcomed Lee’s Donuts with open arms.

Lee's Donuts 4180 Bayview St, #110 Richmond, BC V7E 6S1 Phone 604-284-1600 leesdonuts.ca

Inside the display case, choices range from classics to seasonal creations.

Twenty-one core flavours are offered, along with more than a dozen rotating varieties.

Among the lineup are jellyfilled, cinnamon, Dutch crumb, chocolate crunch, and German chocolate topped with sweetened coconut.

What is a Business Improvement Area (BIA)?

A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a non-profit organization representing businesses and commercial property owners within a defined area. A BIA is created through a City bylaw and funded through a shared contribution from commercial properties within the district. The City collects these funds and the BIA uses them to support programs that benefit the area.

Purpose To support the business district through: • Marketing and promotion • Events and community activities • Streetscape improvements • Advocacy with the City on issues such as parking, safety, and infrastructure

Why Form a BIA in Steveston Village?

About 40 businesses currently fund marketing, events, and beautification in the village, supported by volunteer time and effort. This model has worked for many years but is difficult to sustain.

A BIA creates a fair and stable funding model, allowing the district to support marketing, events, beautification, and advocacy that benefits the entire business area. This approach helps strengthen the commercial district and support long-term property value.

What Can a BIA Do for Steveston Village?

• Marketing and promotion that brings more customers to Steveston businesses.

• Events and seasonal programming that attract shoppers, families, and visitors to the village.

• Improved streetscapes and storefronts that strengthen the appearance of the commercial district.

• Advocacy with the City on issues such as parking, lighting, safety, and infrastructure.

• Village branding and destination marketing that positions Steveston as a place to shop, dine, and visit.

• Business support and collaboration that helps local businesses grow and succeed.

28

StevestonInsider.com

August 15 - October 1, 2026

Why Now? Steveston has grown into one of Richmond’s most recognized business and visitor destinations.

A BIA would provide the structure and resources needed to support the village long term, with coordinated marketing, consistent programming, and a unified voice working with the City.

BIAs support many of Metro Vancouver’s most successful commercial districts, including Kerrisdale, South Granville, and Downtown Vancouver.

STEVESTON VILLAGE BIA BOUNDARY PROPOSED

How is a BIA Funded?

• A Business Improvement Area is funded through a shared contribution from commercial properties within the district.

• Each property contributes a portion of the annual budget based on its assessed property value.

• For example, if a property represents 1% of the total assessed value within the BIA boundary, it would contribute 1% of the annual budget.

• The City collects these funds and the BIA uses them to support marketing, events, beautification, and district initiatives that benefit the area.

• Important: A BIA can only be established through a City bylaw following a formal notification and approval process with all affected property owners.

Did You Know?

There are 22 BIAs in Vancouver and more than 500 across Canada supporting local commercial districts.

Many of Metro Vancouver’s most successful commercial districts operate with BIAs. Learn more about Business Improvement Areas: bia.bc.ca For more information or to discuss the proposed BIA: info@stevestonmerchants.com
