School renaming COVID testing chaos at YVR debate continues Dear Editor,

Re: “School renaming divides opinion,” Letters, Dec. 30 Dear Editor, I never knew all the names of the many schools in the Richmond School District, but I’ve wondered at times whom they were named after.

Just like we changed road names to names of Richmond’s citizens who fought in the wars, we should include names of Richmond’s citizens who contributed a great deal to our heritage.

I fully agree with Kim Nowitsky’s recent letter.

RICHMOND

Dear Editor, Is the reasoning for renaming schools valid and who pays for these changes?

What about the other British male/female names: British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Prince Rupert, Prince George, New Westminster Vancouver, Victoria, Lulu Island...need I go on?

Petra Jobst

There are other issues that are a greater fiscal priority, a pandemic, a national opioid overdose crisis, rising sea levels, wildfires, floods, snow, to name a few.

Let’s spend our tax money wisely in 2022.

If YVR is Canada’s second busiest airport, it is embarrassing that it has not sorted out a system that works for passengers, testing staff, YVR staff, CBSA and whoever else is involved in this poorly organized fiasco.

Strong words I know, but this is coming from a senior traveller who had to endure the confusion and serious stress of the process, after a 15-hour journey from the U.K. Jan. 6.

I felt there were echoes of the situation that the late Mr. Dziekanski may have faced in 2007.

Everything went smoothly through passport control and Arrive Can, thanks to the hours of hard work done the day prior to departure. But as we were heading to exit the Border Control area, a long lineup was crawling towards the testing area as a single CBSA agent checked each

form and directed individuals to the testing area (Line A) or the exit area without testing (Line B). I was separated from my husband, who had all the luggage, and was directed to Line B. We were told we would reunite at the other end of the lines at the main exit (ground transportation).

Unfortunately, I did not get far before a testing staff person dragged me back, saying I was trying to get away from testing. I was finally allowed to proceed down the empty Line B, and emerged at the exit, where there was nowhere to wait for family members who are being tested. It was a major choke point. Families were trying to find coats in their luggage, as it was very cold outside, while security staff urged everyone to continue out of the exit. I decided to go upstairs for a coffee.

Even though we had made testing reservations online the day before, he still had to go to the Line A checkin desk (after yet another long wait), where the staff person was able to

confirm his registration. Then he opted for a Home Test rather than have the onsite test, which probably saved us another two hours of waiting.

It seems CBSA staff decide the number of people to be tested randomly. But why are family members separated during this process? What purpose does that serve, except to increase stress. And if more than one plane arrives at the same time, the whole system is overwhelmed.

The federal ministers of health, transportation and border security need to explain how they managed to create this 3-ring circus! The airport authority didn’t create this mess, but it has to deal with it daily. I do admire the patience of the staff and of all the passengers who have had to suffer from such poor organization.

The purpose of arrival testing still seems unclear, but the stress it generates for travellers to YVR is enormous.

Plastics ban in the bag Art in time of COVID Dear Editor,

Re: “Richmond needs to take initiative,” Letters, Jan. 6.

A letter in the Jan. 6 edition provides a good opportunity to remind residents of steps being taken to eliminate the commercial use of single-use plastics in Richmond.

Richmond is a leader in environmental sustainability and is one of the first cities to make effective changes to reduce plastic waste through a bylaw. The City developed the bylaw in 2019 to eliminate commercial use of plastic checkout bags, plastic straws and takeout foam food serviceware.

Unlike Vancouver, which operates under its own charter, Richmond’s bylaw required provincial approval which was given after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recognizing the significance of the bylaw on business and consumers, the City actively engaged the community to determine the most effective implementation approach. Feedback

confirmed support for the bylaw and told us that a phased approach would ensure success for business, customers and suppliers. While the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the initial implementation, Council formally adopted the bylaw in September 2021.

Plastic checkout bags, straws and takeout foam food serviceware will be banned effective in March 2022.

Active enforcement will begin in September.

By ensuring a measured and thoughtful approach, businesses have time to use up existing stock and transition to acceptable alternatives. It also allows us to further engage with the community to ensure a smooth transition to the new rules. This approach will achieve permanent, meaningful change by directly addressing the challenge of plastic pollution in our environment based on sustainable environmental decisions for our community.

Malcolm D. Brodie

MAYOR, CITY OF RICHMOND

Dear Editor,

During WWII, Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill was asked to cut the arts programs to adequately fund the war effort, to which he responded, "Then what are we fighting for?"

Many of us feel as though these past two years have been akin to a war, or at least a battle. If you are like me, it often feels like we take a few steps forward, followed by a few more steps back, particularly as new variants, such as Delta and Omicron, rear their ugly heads.

Two years later, I don't think I am alone in feeling like I have been in the midst of a war zone, trying to keep myself, my family, my friends and my community safe during uncertain and unpredictable times.

Vibrant senior living

If you love fresh air, an ocean breeze on your face, and strolls through lush, green trails, you will love Wisteria Place. We are only steps to Steveston Park and minutes from the beach. We’ve brought paradise to you. Find your perfect home at Wisteria Place today.

While we collectively try to preserve and protect our physical health, we cannot lose sight of our mental wellness. At times during this pandemic, I have felt sad, scared, anxious, depressed, forlorn, hopeless, mad and defeated — often feeling more than one of these emotions at once.

Reflecting on Churchill's quote, I have come to realize that the man was onto something, and art might be a much-needed respite to our ongoing struggle. Will we solve the world's problems with a bit of paint and paper? No. Might art bring us some light and happiness in these dark, cold, Covidladen days? Yes, I think so, and there is solid evidence to back this conviction.

Last month, I ordered some coloured pencils, crayons,

and sketching paper on a whim. I hadn't done much drawing and colouring since I left elementary school, but I thought, "what the heck!"

When it came in the mail, my heart was delighted, and as I started to colour my less than realistic, stick-figured tree, my soul felt lighter and happier.

I am not claiming that art can solve our problems, but it might help keep our spirits lifted and preserve our mental health. We must hold our public officials accountable for protecting us. But we must also work together to protect our physical and mental wellness so that we can emerge from this pandemic strong and ready to continue our pursuit of a better tomorrow.

Council holds firm on rental zoning Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond city council seems to have closed a loophole that allowed rental properties to be converted into strata condos.

City council voted unanimously to place a rental-only zoning on 60 Richmond properties that are already 100-per-cent rental but could have been rebuilt and sold as condos.

It was clarified at Monday’s council meeting that without this zoning bylaw, a property owner could have rebuilt a samesized building on these properties — which doesn’t require a rezoning application — stratified them and sold each unit.

The “rental tenure” being placed on these 60 properties will stop that from happening, according to city staff.

Dana Westermark with Oris Development, however, told the planning committee last week the economics of rebuilding a rental and stratifying it and selling it doesn’t make sense.

He added the bylaw was “a solution

searching for a problem and there is no problem that requires a solution.”

keep rental-only zoning was often viewed by developers as “negotiable.”

However, a senior city staff member said Richmond city staff is “in the trenches every day” dealing with developers who want to convert rental housing into market condos.

When this bylaw was first before city council in 2019, there was an outcry from the developer community, after which the planning committee asked city staff to consult which is with them.

While the City of Richmond already has a policy that states the city wants to protect rental-only sites, this zoning bylaw — to designate the 60 properties as rental in perpetuity — would give “clarity” and save city staff time and energy dealing with development proposals that don’t comply with this policy, explained Joe Erceg, general manager of planning and development.

A policy intended just to make it easier for staff to bat away proposals I don’t think is a particularly good policy.

DANA WESTERMARK

“What we’re recommending reflects your policy… but it’s a more precise, more defensible, clearer tool,” Erceg told city council’s planning committee last week.

Erceg told council the current policy to

The city received almost $3 million from the casino in the third quarter of 2021 after it re-opened in July.

Gaming revenue for 2021 is expected to be $7 million — according to the

city’s budget — while before the pandemic, the city took in about $15 million annually in revenue from the casino.

In 2022, the city is anticipating $14.5 million in gaming revenue. The city receives 10 per cent of the profits from the casino.

Casinos have been ordered by public health to operate at 50 per cent capacity, the buffet is closed and no shows are currently advertised for the River Rock Theatre.

Erceg said the “theme” of the feedback was condo developers should be part of the solution, but that would mean reversing or eroding the rental-only policy.

“The stakeholders didn’t comment on the merit of what was being proposed, they were actually trying to undo policy that’s been in place for a long time,” Erceg said.

He cited an example of one of the 60 properties — for six years, city staff received numerous proposals to densify it and add market condos.

One developer — out of four who tried

to redevelop it — wanted to rebuild the 50 current rental units, add a few more “as sweetener” and then develop the rest of the site with market condos, Erceg explained.

But because city staff were “holding the line,” the developer finally came up with a plan to replace the 50 rental units with 270 rental units, of which some are lowend rentals and others market rentals.

Westermark, however, called the bylaw a “distraction” and another “bureaucratic burden” on developers.

“A policy which is intended just to make it easier for staff to bat away proposals I don’t think is a particularly good policy,” Westermark said.

Coun. Harold Steves, however, noted he knows people who live in cars or poor housing situations because of the lack of affordable rentals.

“This is what we’re faced with — we have one extreme, developers who want wide open doors to do whatever they want, within some limits but not much, and others are on the streets and can’t afford housing at all,” he said, adding he thought the bylaw should have been implemented decades ago.

China bans AC flights More Air Canada flights from Vancouver to China have been temporarily suspended by China due to a growing number of incoming travellers with COVID-19, according to the latest announcement from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

On Dec. 25, at least 17 air travellers tested positive for COVID-19 on Air Canada flight AC025 from Vancouver to Shanghai, China. Starting Jan. 17, four more flights operated by Air Canada AC025 will be

halted for four weeks, reads CAAC’s website.

Richmond travel agents said the airline’s temporary suspension is related to CAAC’s “circuit breaker” policy, which suspends carriers if they bring in too many COVID-19 infected travellers.

Angry wife reports massage parlour to city “I still had to get two shots of penicillin in the ass to make sure of that,” she added.

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It appears Richmond’s unlicensed sex trade is alive and well, if the sordid story from an understandably angry wife is anything to go by.

The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, contacted the Richmond News with details of how her husband caught a sexually-transmitted infection (STI) after frequenting a city centre massage parlour.

According to the woman, her husband said he knows of many men “who are addicted” to the extracurricular services being offered at the business, which cannot be named for legal reasons.

She told the News that she was glad her husband’s STI made it no further than him, although she wasn’t taking any chances and had banished him to sleeping on their cold, hard floor.

“How many of these girls are there against their will? I’m not sure but it wouldn’t surprise me if there might even be a minor or two thrown in the mix. How are these places being overlooked?”

She said that, despite her husband’s admission, he returned to the business for more of the same.

She then marched into the parlour with his photo, demanding that they refuse his patronage in the future.

The woman reported the business to the City of Richmond’s bylaws department, which dispatched officers to investigate.

However, according to city spokesperson Clay Adams, the officers found “no evidence of practice or activity that would contravene the requirements of the business license.”

In March 2020, the News published a

Tributes being paid to Richmondite Milo Ilich

Well-known and wellrespected Richmond born and bred businessman Milo Ilich (pictured) has passed away at the age of 80.

Many tributes were being paid to Milo on community Facebook page, “You Grew Up In Richmond, BC, If You Remember.”

Ilich, who was born in 1941 and attended Richmond High, was best known for his work with the Progressive Group for many decades.

“He definitely was an extraordinary man. He will be missed,” wrote one page member, while another wrote, “Remarkable man, his family must be so very proud.”

According to his obituary, he passed away peacefully at Richmond Hospital on New Year’s Eve.

His obituary added, “While Milo enjoyed fast cars, boats, sports and entertainment as well as the occasional vacation, he was happiest when he could share everyday experiences...and appreciate the simple pleasures...like a traditional family dinner or relaxing in the sun.”

Milo was the brother of respected businessman, philanthropist and Order of BC recipient Milan, who passed away in 2011, age 76, after a 14-month battle with acute leukemia.

not much has changed in the last two years.

I still had to get two shots of penicillin in the ass.

WIFE OF HUSBAND WHO CAME HOME WITH AN STI feature about the unlicensed sex trade in Richmond, which highlighted that the city’s policies on sex work hadn’t changed in 20 years.

Coun. Alexa Loo, at the time, wanted the city to look into tightening up the rules surrounding such establishments to make it “as hard as possible” to operate, adding that she didn’t think the city should be supporting human trafficking in Richmond.

Asked this week if she thinks it’s still a problem in Richmond, Loo said she thought

“(The illegal sex trade) is still clearly happening and will keep on happening.”

She added that many people in power in Richmond still feel it’s a case of “out of sight, out of mind” when it comes to admitting there’s an issue in the city.

“My concern is still that, in some of these situations, you have women or younger girls that are not from here, so there is trafficking and coercion involved.

“There is an argument that it is a women’s right to do this, ‘it’s a legitimate job,’ etc. That’s all very woke, but I’m not sure the people who say that would like their daughter involved in that trade.”

Advocacy groups for sex workers previously told the News that sex work is indeed a legitimate job and focus should be on ensuring it can be done in a safe way so neither workers nor their clients get STIs, for example.

Ride-hailing driver loses court appeal after sting

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has upheld the convictions of a driver caught in Richmond during an RCMP operation targeting illegal ridehailing services.

Haiya Zhang was convicted of three offences in July 2021, which he was charged with after responding to a ride-hailing request made by an RCMP officer on March 13, 2020.

The convictions were appealed but upheld by Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes, in a Dec. 8, 2021 judgment.

The offences included operating a commercial passenger vehicle without the required licence, operating a motor vehicle without the appropriate class licence and failing to display a valid inspection certificate for a motor vehicle.

The ticket had been issued during an RCMP sting targeting drivers providing unlicensed passenger services through a ride-hailing app, referred to as “Udi” during the original trial.

In her judgment on the appeal, Holmes out-

lined how an RCMP officer had used the Udi app to request a ride from Richmond Centre to the SFU campus area in Surrey.

The app then provided an estimated fee of $53 for the trip and stated a driver would arrive in a white Volkswagen Passat, “as Mr. Zhang did shortly afterwards.”

The main issue at the original trial — which became the basis for Zhang’s appeal — was whether Zhang had asked the police officer if he was going to Surrey or just said “to Surrey,” according to Holmes.

At the original trial, Zhang testified that he said, “to Surrey,” and had responded to the request for a driver to pick up and deliver something such as food or documents — not a passenger.

However, the trial judge accepted that Zhang had asked the officer if he was going to Surrey.

Former MP victim of fake news: researchers Nono Shen & Maria Rantanen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Former Conservative Steveston-Richmond East MP Kenny Chiu claims he was the victim of foreign media interference during the federal election.

And two academics from McGill University agree with him, citing Chiu’s experience during the election as a prime example of “fake news.”

Chiu claimed he was labelled “a traitor of China” on various Chinese language media outlets and the Chinese social media WeChat platform, which operates out of China under strict Chinese censorship law.

“They were painting me as anti-Chinese on radio and WeChat, and I was also accused of not taking a stand with anti-racism movements, but I did speak up on racist attacks — every time,” said Chiu.

The misinformation campaign about Chiu during the federal election was based on

a private member’s bill he introduced in Parliament.

The bill would have made anyone acting on behalf of a foreign entity “file a return when they undertake specific actions with respect to public office holders,” explained researchers SzeFung Lee and Benjamin Fung in a piece in Policy Options, published last week.

Chiu has been vocal in his advocacy for democracy in Hong Kong and critical of China’s record on human rights.

According to the article in Policy Options, this was why Chiu was banned from going back to his former birthplace, Hong Kong.

“It has a high potential for interference in Canada’s electoral process by foreign state actors and thus severely threatens the country’s liberal democracy,” they argue in their research.

During the election, there were also attacks on Conservative leader Erin O’Toole.

Chiu confirmed after the federal election he was approached by Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, but he said he couldn’t divulge the subject matter.

This was a “potential way to expose the relationship between agents in Canada and their ties to foreign countries,” they continue.

YVR eyes made-in-B.C. sustainable aviation fuel Further, as a “drop in” fuel, SAF can be used in existing airport fueling systems, including tanks and pipelines, said Town.

Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Vancouver International Airport hopes canola, wood waste and even municipal wastewater could, in the not-too-distant future, power the flights taking off from its runways.

For the past two years, YVR has been working towards a made-in-B.C. supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in a bid to help tackle airline emissions.

“In a world of a lot of climate change dread, I feel like there’s a real sense of optimism in this world around the conversation we’re having around sustainable aviation fuel,” Marion Town, YVR’s director of climate and environment, told the Richmond News.

In 2019, the Vancouver Airport Authority launched BioPortYVR, in partnership with the Green Aviation Research and Development Network, SkyNRG and Waterfall Group, to develop a B.C.-made supply of SAF — which currently isn’t produced or widely available in Canada.

The aviation industry accounts for about two to three per cent of carbon emissions worldwide, according to International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade association of the world’s airlines. Meanwhile, it notes that demand for air passenger travel in 2050 could exceed 10 billion.

At this rate, the expected 2021 to 2050 carbon emissions on a “business as usual” trajectory is approximately 21.2 gigatons, however, IATA has pledged to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

To do that, the industry is banking on SAF, which is made from renewable feedstocks such as canola, vegetable or used cooking oils, organic municipal waste, wood waste or even algae.

SAF can reduce emissions by up to 80 per cent during its full lifecycle, according to IATA, noting the fuel also contains fewer imYVR is working to build a B.C. supply chain purities, which can to produce sustainable aviation fuel.

According to the BioPortYVR feasibility

Richard pointed out that long-distance flights are much harder to decarbonize than other transportation sectors. Furthermore, the technology for long-haul electricpowered aircraft is still a ways off.

IATA also acknowledges that current annual production of SAF is 100 million litres — a long way off from the 449 billion litres it estimates will be needed by 2050 to meet emissions targets.

Regardless, many are optimistic.

“I feel pretty excited that the industry as a whole has said this is the solution to our decarbonization pathway,” said Town.

study, B.C. has a good, available supply of feedstocks — particularly canola, which is grown in Western Canada.

Another potential feedstock is municipal waste, said Town, noting that Metro Vancouver is producing biocrude oil — which can be refined into low carbon fuel — from wastewater at its Annacis Island facility.

“I can see a future where every single one of the wastewater treatment plants, not only in Metro Vancouver, but also in all of the key centres in British Columbia, take that biocrude and get it into a production line for renewable fuels,” she said.

Other feedstocks, such as used cooking oil and animal fats and greases are also options, according to the study, but these are already in demand in fuel markets outside of Canada.

That global market could pose a threat to food affordability and deforestation, if the aviation sector worldwide moves to biofuels, said Richard.

While there are “no deforestation issues from growing canola in the Canadian prairies,” said Richard, increased global demand for canola from biofuel makers could lead to plant oil being produced from other sources, such as palm oil or soybean oil, both of which are linked to deforestation.

SAF sustainability criteria includes, for example, transparent, traceable supply chains and avoiding measures that would contribute to food insecurity or deforestation, according to BioPortYVR. IATA lays out similar criteria.

While Richard said this is “good news,” there’s still the question of how that would be enforced and whether the sustainability standard would have teeth, as it could be “beyond the control of any specific national agency.”

Rather than SAF, Richard said he would prefer to see the same amount of money go towards other measures, such as a carbon bank — paying for equivalent carbon offsets — to target other transportation sectors that are easier to decarbonize than longdistance planes, such as railways, road transportation or cargo ships.

Another measure could be a carbon tax on flights.

Nonetheless, he said, collective action — and therefore, policy action — is what is needed to have “everyone steering in the right direction.”

Reactions mixed to high-priced sushi Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

the temperature, fragrance, and aging time of the food ensures the high standards of our dishes.

A new high-end Asian restaurant in Richmond is receiving mixed reviews — not of its food but of its prices and policies.

Richmond’s Dana Wu is a big sushi lover but said Kiwami’s prices are out of her league and the reservation policy would stress her out.

Sushi Kiwami, located at 8411 Bridgeport Rd. in north Richmond, is offering set menus at $299/person, $399/person or $499/ person and, on occasion, $599/person.

“I would rather go to a family-owned, more affordable sushi restaurant near my home. Dining should be a stress-free and enjoyable experience,” said Wu.

And it’s not just the prices that are raising eyebrows.

Diners who show up more than 15 minutes late for their reservation may be denied service but charged the full price of the “cheapest” menu — $299. Those who make a reservation but don’t show up or fail to cancel more than 48 hours in advance will also be charged the $299 menu price. (Walk-ins are not accepted and reservations have to be made with a credit card.)

On its website, Sushi Kiwami explains: “The fresh ingredients we use in Sushi Kiwami are airlifted from fish markets in Japan.

The menus created by our Michelin-starred chefs strive to create a good sense of elegance and balance. Our chefs’ ability to distinguish

However, Lucas Kong, also from Richmond, said it’s understandable a restaurant like this would implement such a cancellation policy, given that the expensive meat would need to be thawed ahead of time and can’t necessarily be put back in the fridge to serve to the next customer if a diner doesn’t show up.

Besides, Kong added, the reservation and cancellation policy is even more complicated for many similar restaurants in Japan.

Along with prices and late/cancellation policies, management requires diners to ask before taking a photo, keep their voices low and not wear perfume or other cosmetics with strong odours that could interfere with the “delicate flavours of Japanese cooking,” states the website.

Amateur hockey world Skating sensation medals cup postponed again in his men’s nationals debut cron, and “out of an abundance of caution for all those involved.”

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

An international amateur hockey tournament in Richmond has been postponed for a third time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CARHA Hockey World Cup — which was first slated for March 2020 and was set to go March this year — has now been put off until 2023.

Organizers say the ongoing pandemic means the event simply can’t be safely planned, with the tournament set to feature nearly 3,000 athletes representing 140 teams from 15 countries.

New dates are being finalized and will be released shortly.

The decision was reached as a result of the growing challenges presented by the new variant, specifically Omi-

The City of Richmond’s manager of Sport Hosting, Pam Lacroix, said that postponing was “unfortunate but necessary given the state of the pandemic locally and globally.”

The week-long tournament is a celebration of hockey that includes more than 260 games, opening and closing ceremonies and camaraderie for the hockey community in the athletes’ village.

“We are confident that with this decision, we will be in a better position to provide adult recreational hockey teams from around the world the opportunity to join us in what is sure to be a spectacular hockey experience of a lifetime while keeping everyone safe,” said Lori Lopez, CARHA’s executive director.

Details of a new date will be released soon.

Despite being a possible alternate for the Olympics, 16-year-old Richmond figure skater Wesley Chiu can’t even think about the Beijing Games right now.

The Connaught skating sensation is still coming to terms with his incredible bronze medal in the men’s category at the nationals in Ottawa over the weekend.

Wesley flew back from Ontario on Sunday evening with his latest accolade in his baggage, along with memories of a podium spot which makes him a consideration for the Olympics, should one of the two chosen skaters drop out.

Not that the Games next month are lingering for a second on the young athlete, who’s already focusing on a four continents championship in Estonia, in the senior category, next Monday.

“I was definitely a bit surprised but I knew, beforehand, it wasn’t impossible for me to medal in this competition,” Wesley said of his bronze medal.

“It became a reality when I was in the silver medal position after the short program. I was still trying to calm myself

He said his achievement didn’t really sink in until he was about to step onto the podium, adding that it “wasn’t real until then.”

Wesley’s mother-and-son coaching team of Eileen and Keegan Murphy were thrilled by their student’s performance.

“It usually takes a few years competing at this level for young skaters to make it onto the podium,” said Keegan.

Seven Richmond archers qualify for BC Winter Games Seven young Richmond archers have qualified for this year’s BC Winter Games and are preparing to head to the competition in February.

The BC Winter Games are B.C.’s multisport event for athletes ages 15 to 17, which take place every two years.

This year, the competitions are being held in Vernon from Feb. 24 to 27.

This year, Gum Ying Richmond Archery Club is sending two athletes, Arianna Tham and Brayden Fun, to compete in the barebow category, while five athletes, Nathania So, Brendan Chan, Jamison Hui, Gavin Ng and Markus Tai will be competing in the Olympic Recurve category.

Thomas Lok, an archery coach at Gum Ying Richmond Archery Club, said it was a surprise to be sending seven athletes to the Games this year.

“I’m so proud to be sending these seven this year because the Zone quota (for the Games) usually only allow six youths, seven if we’re lucky,” said Lok, adding that Richmond is part of Zone 5, which is the

Vancouver-Coastal region.

“We probably were allowed more athletes this year because the other zones couldn’t provide competitors due to COVID-19 and also most likely because they don’t have athletes that fit in the age category.”

Lok told the Richmond News that athletes competing in the BC Winter Games is a one-time deal and they aren’t allowed to compete a second time.

“It’s a funny rule when we compare it to other competitions like figure skating, but this is why many of our athletes train so hard for the Winter Games.”

With archery being an individual sport, four of the Richmond archers will be competing each other in the men’s Olympic recurve category.

The athletes who win in this year’s Winter Games will have a chance to attend and represent B.C. in the Canada Games in 2023.

OBITUARIES

BUILDING CONTRACTORS In Loving Memory

RENNIE, Phyllis M. November 6, 1945 − December 27, 2021 I am sad to announce the passing of my mom, Phyllis Rennie.

Whether you knew her as Phyllis, GMa, GG or Aunty, she really loved being a friend to all ages.

Born as the fifth of six children to Michael and Gladys Lunny, she grew up with her siblings in the small town of Wetaskiwin, Alberta. She was predeceased by her sister, Frances (Jack) Gladstone, and brothers, Ronny (Shirley) and Michael Lunny. She is fondly remembered by sisters, Ann (Don) Timbres and Lorna (Larry) Farkas.

In 1969, she married Tom Rennie in Edmonton, Alberta, and started her career at CIBC, where she met numerous friends over the next 40 years. She welcomed new parental in−laws, Percy and Irene Rennie, and siblings−in−law, Doug (Colleen), Joan, Roger and Debbie (Tom) Lyons.

Soon after, they had a son, Trevor, and in 1977, they moved to Richmond, BC, to start their family life. Here, they met lifelong friends Dianna and Don Jarbo.

Sadly, after numerous health struggles, she lost Tom in 2005. Shortly thereafter, she retired and lived her happiest life as a grandmother and great− grandmother.

Her happiness grew as the family grew. When Trevor married Linda, she not only gained a daughter but also a best friend as well as three instant grandsons: Chris, Jeff and Stephen. Then with the addition of two more grandsons in Mitchell and Sam, she relished her role as GMa and shared private talks and laughs with all of the boys.

Phyllis treasured Linda and talked and saw each other almost daily, especially when she moved with the family to Kelowna, BC, in 2013.

WILSON, Nicholas JM. March 21, 1935 − December 28, 2021 Mary Ellen Stewart May 14th, 1926 - December 29th, 2021 You lived your life with meaning and with a smile upon your face.

We shared so much happiness, when we were together in the same place.

Although you sleep in Heaven now, you’re not that far away.

Our hearts are full of memories, and you’re with us every day.

Always Remembered Forever Loved Donna, Chuck, Jim, Cheryl, Kyle, Jay, Michael

It is with a great sense of loss that we announce the passing of Nicholas John Methven Wilson in the early hours of December 28, 2021. Nick started his life in London, England, travelled the world, found love in Hong Kong and settled his family in Richmond. Nick will be remembered with great solace by those he has left behind: wife Anna; children Andrea (Jen), Rosalind (Brian), Colin (Lori) and Jonathan (Cristina); grandchildren Steven, Allison, Matthew and Luke; great−grandchildren Beckett and Foster; and family in Australia, England, Hong Kong and the USA.

Internment will be held at Pacific Heritage Cemetery in a private service on January 14, 2022.

A memorial service will be held later in the spring for all those who wish to pay their respects. Please see Elisa’s FB page for details as they become available.

In the past decade, she revelled in her role as GG (great−grandmother) as Chris and Huong welcomed Tai and Kaiya; Jeff and Carolyn welcomed Bohdi; and Stephen and Robyn welcomed Ethan and Ayden.
