xcessive speed could be to blame for a fiery, single-car crash on Westminster Highway, outside Terra Nova’s shopping plaza, Sunday morning. Eyewitness reports claim alcohol may have been a factor in the dramatic incident, which led to a black SUV ending up in the middle of a piece of public art and engulfed in flames about 6:20 a.m.

However, Richmond RCMP gave no indication that alcohol played a part, instead pointing to speed as the main factor behind the bizarre crash. “A black 2017 Mercedes SUV was located in an ornamental fountain at Terra Nova Village shopping mall,” said Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “The Mercedes was heavily damaged and engulfed in flames. A female driver in her early 20s managed to escape the vehicle and was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

“A tree and a lamp standard were also heavily damaged by the vehicle.” According to one eyewitness at the crash site, a young female driver appeared to lose control of her SUV and crashed into the public art display (a large ring sculpture) next to Imperial City Bistro at Westminster and Blanshard Drive. She was seen sitting by herself on the curb, moments after the accident. Witnesses said the area is busy with morning joggers and it’s fortunate no one was killed.

crew from Richmond FireRescue battled for more than four hours on Sunday morning to save an elderly horse stuck in a ditch. Firefighters got the call Aug. 27 around 9:20 a.m. after a local farmer reported finding his 40-year-old horse wedged up to its chest in mud in the 6600 block of No. 6 Road, south of Westminster Highway. According to Richmond Fire-Rescue’s Deputy Chief, Tim Wilkinson, the horse simply couldn’t move and had exhausted itself trying to get out. Wilkinson said the crew went to work digging around the horse, before fashioning a harness from some of their own rescue equipment. “We made a platform for the horse to kind of push off. Then we had to call in a tow truck to then hoist the horse out of the ditch, but all of this took some time to put together,” Wilkinson told the Richmond News. “A vet was called in to check over the horse and it seemed to be okay. “We practise trouble-shooting like this all the time.”

here were only gentle hugs, if any, for renowned children’s entertainer and singer Charlotte Diamond on Friday when she received the Order of Canada at a ceremony hosted by Canada’s Governor General in Ottawa. That’s because the 71-year-old was bandaged up after breaking her collar bone last month at her cabin in Vernon. Collar bone aside, “it was pretty exciting,” Diamond, a long-time Richmond resident, told the Richmond News Monday. She said Governor General David Johnson pinned a “beautiful medallion” on her chest in recognition of decades of work entertaining and advocating for children. “The Investiture Ceremony is quite lovely. You bow to Governor General and give a big smile,” said Diamond. Diamond said, despite all her success selling music, it was her work with teachers that she considers to be the crowning moment of her career that brought her to Rideau Hall. “Having the opportunity to reach out to teachers and say, ‘look, the arts and music are so important for the development of children to express themselves verbally,’” said Diamond, who shared the moment with her husband Harry, a retired fisherman from Steveston.

“That certainly would have resonated for the committee that chose me.” Diamond said those who receive the Order of Canada have contributed to Canadian culture and making the country a better place to live in. “You go through life and know an experience like this will inspire . . . to make Canada a better place,” said Diamond, who has relocated to the Sunshine Coast. The Governor General noted on his website: “Over the past 30 years, Charlotte Diamond has made an enduring contribution to Canadian children’s music . . . Her understanding of how music and lyrics are foundational to literacy has also helped teachers, as she has produced learning guides that focus on brain development and language patterns in young learners. An ambassador for UNICEF, she continues to perform for audiences of all ages.” Diamond joked about her injury at the ceremony, suggesting a new song about her clavicle may be in the works. But the injury did remind her of an old song named Wounded Bird, from 1992. “It’s a song about something that slows you down and makes you stop,” she said. “I performed it a lot at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. It’s an ideal song, the words are ‘wounded bird, you will fly again.’ And you will. Sometimes we are all faced with adversity.” Diamond, who is known to find those silver linings, said she bought a “very nice” sling to match her black dress for the ceremony.

etro Vancouver’s long, parched summer has been no friend to farmers such as Humraj Kallu, who has watched blueberry production in his Richmond fields shrink in what is shaping up to be the region’s seventh driest summer on record. “Nothing beats a good rainfall,” said Kallu. “Even though you can irrigate, the actual rain falling down on a plant and soaking everything, that’s sort of more what a plant needs for good production.” Except the region hasn’t seen any rainfall at all since Aug. 13, which was barely any and followed an even drier July. Those long stretches of sunshine have made for excellent beach and hiking weather, but the dry conditions have done a number on berry producers. Metro Vancouver has seen only 7.5 millimetres of rain in August, which is just 20 per cent of average for the month. Since June, just 56 millimetres of rain has fallen, only 44 per cent of the 126 millimetres of precipitation considered normal for the season. (The driest summer on record was in 1951, which saw 26.4 millimetres during June, July and August).

n Richmond farmer Humraj Kallu says the lack of rain is taking its toll on his crops. Sun photo

The dry summer, on top of a cold winter and long wet spring, have added up to put a significant dent in some farm production, blueberry grower Kallu said. Conditions vary widely from location to location, Kallu said, but he has seen fields down anywhere from 15 per cent to 30 per cent at his family’s blueberry farm. “The lack of water is really starting to take a toll on the (blueberry) bushes,” Kallu said. “Even with plants that are out of harvest and are wrapping up and shutting down, they need water as well,” Kallu said. “There is a big risk of them drying up (and being less productive next season).”

Crown reviewing Pedestrian seriously kennel complaint injured in car accident Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

Richmond kennel has been reported to the BC Prosecution Service after an investigation was carried out by the B.C. SPCA. Animal cruelty charges have now been recommended by the B.C. SPCA against BC Canine, which operates near the foot of No. 3 Road close the dyke. The Richmond News understands the report and subsequent recommendations were sent to Crown Counsel in June after the SPCA received a number of complaints about the kennel in February. The Crown is now reviewing the file to determine whether or not the charges will be approved against the business. Although not able to speak to the details of the case, a spokesperson for the prosecution service confirmed to the News that a report has been received from the SPCA about BC Canine and “that it has been assigned to a specialized prosecutor to be reviewed.” The development comes six months after the News reported how a local dog owner had filed a neglect complaint with the SPCA against a Richmond kennel. Paul Bhullar decided to speak out after reading media reports two weeks earlier

about another owner who alleged his dog was neglected and starved during a three-week stay at BC Canine. Bhullar claimed his six-month-old Italian mastiff Drogo’s two-week stint of inboard training at BC Canine resulted in the family pet coming back sick and with “ribs showing” at the end of December. The B.C. SPCA told the News back in February that, until then, the charity had never investigated BC Canine.

22-year-old woman suffered multiple injuries after being struck by a car on Monday evening at the intersection of Bridgeport and No. 5 roads. Richmond RCMP said at around 7.30 p.m., the victim was hit by a white 2010 Mercedes sedan while she was in a marked crosswalk. The driver, who has been identified as a 17-year-old male Richmond resident, stopped and provided assistance to the pedestrian, according to police. “I heard a loud sound and then saw a woman lying on the ground. I could see her arm bleeding,” said Jeff Jiang, a witness who was at a gas station near the incident. “There were cracks on the windshield of the car.” About 20 passers-by stayed at the scene to help the victim – some gave her water and some called 911, said Jiang.

Riverside strata for Mitchell Island

Classes filling up FAST

Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

new “industrial strata development” will open in two years on Mitchell Island, the first of its kind in Richmond in seven years. With a limited and declining supply of industrial land in and around Richmond and Vancouver, developer PC Urban’s announcement about the strata on 12 acres of land on Mitchell Island will be welcome news for businesses that want to own their own commercial space. IntraUrban Rivershore, as it will be called, will transform the former Western Steel plant, that has been vacant for several years, into a riverside, 265,000-square-foot industrial space at 11111 Twigg Place, on the border of Richmond and Vancouver. “We found the only remaining site close to Vancouver suitable for conventional strata industrial units ideal for small- and mediumsized businesses,” said PC Urban principal, Brent Sawchyn. “We are thrilled to be able to take our success from IntraUrban Laurel and bring high-quality architectural design for efficient and effective places of business in this dynamic, riverside community.” Units will range in size from 3,640 to 12,500 square feet, with dock and grade loading available, and 26-foot ceiling heights. Occupancy is expected late in

2019. In addition to providing much needed industrial supply, Vancouver-based PC Urban says it will preserve and protect two acres of fish habitat and environmentally sensitive areas on the western side of the property. “This development will transform Mitchell Island and bring new businesses and users to the island, rejuvenating the whole area,” said Bruno Fiorvento, executive vice-president for JLL, the broker for the development. “There are few strata industrial opportunities close to Vancouver and almost nothing on the market.” Over the past four years, industrial strata property has increased in value by 42 per cent, according to Fiorvento.

Thank you to so many people who contributed and enabled us to help those who have been affected by the wildfires, helping to put their lives back together again. The balance of the proceeds will go towards funding Steveston Rotary Local Projects. These include distributing food hampers to help families at Christmas time and providing our seniors with a festive meal, supporting St. Albans Church Shelter, Fraser Marine Rescue and providing dictionaries to Grade 4 students. All donations from our fundraisers go directly to help others. Thank you. Marion Whiting On behalf of the Steveston Rotary Club

Time is nigh to call in monsters Dear Editor, It is high time that the provincial government look at ways to protect the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) after years of mismanagement and lack of regulations by the previous government. Making the foreign buyers tax applicable to the ALR is very important, but that is not all that needs to be done. Runaway ALR land values are due to the monster homes that are being allowed to be built on agricultural land, something being done increasingly by locals.

Plunking a multi-million-dollar home on agricultural land instantly skyrockets farmland out of the reach of farmers and reduces the potential for farming. These monster homes encroach on fertile soil with their pools, tennis courts and multicar garages in addition to their monstrous square footage. Instead of a ban of foreign land ownership, which seems to often incite racially-charged debates, the most important thing we can do is keep farmland farmable and accessible. That means restricting monster homes on

agricultural land, adhering to B.C.’s Ministry of Agriculture guidelines on home size, which would be in line with average home sizes across the rest of Richmond. If the province doesn’t do it, Richmond council needs to be farmland champions and reverse their previous decision to keep allowing monsters to be built. Ten-thousand square feet isn’t a home, it’s a monster eating up our farmland. Michelle Li Richmond

We need more food diversity Dear Editor, Re: “Richmond needs more culinary diversity,” Letters, Aug. 25. I agree totally with Ray Arnold’s opinion and would also love to see restaurants like the ones Vancouver’s Main Street has to offer. I am quite excited that a Rosemary Rocksalt is scheduled to open in Ironwood, hopefully any day. If you love Seinfeld Bagels, then smoked meat rosemary rocksalt won’t disappoint. Hoping it can make a go of it here in Richmond. Mindy Dobbs Richmond

Dear Editor, I believe that the most sensible letter on the tunnel argument came from Douglas George Massey. He suggested having the major engineering company, Tunnel Engineering Consultants, examine the crossing. It seems to me that if an earthquake is a rolling wave type, a tunnel could “ride out” the quake better than could a wobbly, topheavy, high bridge sitting on clay. Don’t be surprised if the proponents of a bridge don’t want to pay the $5.50 toll charge that I’ve heard would be necessary to partly defray the huge cost of the bridge. They may want their cake and eat it too! Anyway, a temporary solution may be possible, now that the NDP is in office; that is, put more buses

on the tunnel run. There are probably many who could and would take a bus, if possible. Those who could, but won’t, could be convinced to do so by putting a toll of $4 on any car with only one person in it. On the political grapevine, I heard that even though former B.C. Liberal MLA Kevin Falcon spent $4.7 million having extra bus stops installed, someone in the Liberal government stopped TransLink from putting more buses on the tunnel run so as to exacerbate the tunnel problem. Now that the NDP is in, TransLink is under “new management” and maybe more buses can do the tunnel run. Garry Simpson Richmond

RICHMOND YOUTH HONOUR CHOIR

Really?

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

an you hear that sound? No? Well, let me fill you in. It’s the collective exhaling of thousands of parents across the city, realizing it’s only six days until the kids go back to school. Is it just me, or does the school summer vacation seem to get longer every year? It certainly feels like it. Last summer, I watched my then 14-yearold son virtually barricade himself indoors for seven weeks of last year’s nine-week “life sentence.” This year, the now 15-year-old, in lieu of extending his social circle — incredible, considering most teens have this amazing communication device called a cellphone — was “asked” to “get a job” to experience life beyond four walls. To his credit, Casper the Ghost (his new nickname, given his indoor-loving complexion) did just that. And after guiding him through a few jobsites and helping him build his first resume, he applied to a local restaurant chain for a dishwashing opening, went for the interview and came home a working man. In the first few weeks of summer, he was working 40 hours and raking in the cash. So much so, that I had to have a word

with the manager to dial down the shifts, as Casper was getting home exhausted at 1 a.m. and sleeping until 1 p.m. the next day. Not to mention the fact that our evenings and weekends were becoming severely curtailed by the fact one of us had to wait up to the wee hours to give him a ride home. But it was worth it. He was pumped after every shift, working with adults in a pressurized environment, apparently doing a great job and putting older student workers to shame. It was an experience that money, for the most part, couldn’t buy. And the kicker is that he’s getting paid! Minimum wage, of course, but it certainly added up. His boss is pushing for him to do at least two shifts a week when he goes back to school next week. But with each shift almost hitting the eighthour mark, it would appear his dishwashing days, at least until next summer, are over. The summer of soap suds did, however, produce a comedic moment when, after opening his first pay slip, my son threw his hands up at the one deduction — $14 for insurance, from the $700 gross earnings. “What’s this all about?” he exclaimed. Really? Those were the days my friend…as Mary Hopkin sang in 1968. Roll on schooldays, routine and early nights.

The program runs each Thursday from 3:30-4:15 p.m. Children will be paired with a teen “big buddy” who can help them practise their reading skills. For more information, visit YourLibrary.ca. Here are this week’s book reviews: Title: Ivy + Bean Book1 Author: Annie Barrows Reviewed by: Megan, age 7 This book is about Bean and Ivy not being friends in the first place. Bean’s mother told Bean to play with Ivy. Then Ivy’s mother told Ivy to play with Bean. At the end they became friends. I like this book because it is funny. The funny part is when Bean put some worms on her sister! Then she danced. I also like Ivy’s character. She is kind and playful. I like the pictures. I give this book four stars. Title: A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning Author: Lemony Snicket

Reviewed by: Diljaan, age 11 This book is about three orphans who have been adopted by a cruel man named Count Olaf. Count Olaf wanted to marry the oldest sibling, who was only 14. The reason being was her husband would have full control over her parents’ will, and they were a very wealthy family. I like this book because Violet, Klaus and Sunny, who were the orphans, always find a way out of bad situations. Violet loves to invent, Klaus loves to read, and Sunny… well she loves to bite things with her super sharp teeth! Together, this trio held their heads up high and stood up to Count Olaf and his outrageous ways. I give this book five stars. Title: Have a Hot Time, Hades! Author: Kate McMullan Reviewed by: Angelina, age 11 This book is about Hades, the King of the Underworld, and his version of the Greek myths. I like this book because I think it’s really neat how she shows another god’s perspective. I also like this book because it’s really creative and silly. I give this book five stars.

LABOURDay

A time to recognize all workers’ achievements B.C. Federation of Labour says it’s also important to keep fighting for better employment standards DAISYXIONG Staff Reporter

DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

STANDING UP FOR Fair Wages • Safer Workplaces • Respect

ith the Labour Day long weekend around the corner, the B.C. Federation of Labour (BCFED) said it’s important to celebrate the achievements of workers and keep fighting for better working standards for employees. “Our economy and society depend on the workers,” BCFED president Irene Lanzinger told the Richmond News this week. “Whether that’s in a mine, a mill, if you’re a teacher or a health care worker, these are people who are important in keeping our economy strong, and our public service work, and making sure that people are looked after in our society.” Lanzinger said many important gains have been made in improving workers’ situation since the introduction of Labour Day in Canada, which can be traced back to a parade in support of the Toronto Typographical Union’s strike for a 58-hour work week in 1987. “We have worked hard to make sure workers have time off, things like sick leave and vacations, mandatory employment standard acts and a limit on the number of

work hours,” she said. Lanzinger, however, noted that there is still a lot of work to be done, such as increasing the quality of jobs workers have. “What are the wages of the job, and what health benefits and pension plans are included; they are all important,” she said. She noted many people in B.C. work parttime or temporary jobs long before they are able to get a full-time permanent job, which, she says, is concerning. Lanzinger gave an example of the booming tourism industry in B.C., where, she said, there are many low wages and temporary jobs that terminate at the end of the summer. There has been a decline in the number of people that belong to unions since the 1950s, according to Lanzinger. She said a global move to strong, right wing governments at that time and local economic factors led to the drop. “We used to have one of the largest unions in the province – the wood workers union but we have seen a decline in industries like forestry,” said Lanzinger. “And big companies like Walmart took over, which fought to keep the union out.” The unionization rate in B.C. is around 30 per cent today, according to Lanzinger.

B.C. sets its sights on a $15-an-hour minimum wage T

he provincial government is making its first move toward a $15-an-hour minimum wage by announcing a 50-cent increase for September. In making the announcement last week, Premier John Horgan said moving to a $15 minimum wage is “long overdue in making life more affordable for British Columbians.” “British Columbia’s lowest-paid workers need a raise,” said Horgan. “The action we’re taking will make life better for working parents, seniors, new Canadians, students and more – these are people struggling to get by.” Effective Sept. 15, minimum-wage earners will see their pay increase to $11.35 per hour from $10.85, giving B.C. the thirdhighest minimum wage among Canada’s provinces – up from seventh position. “Our commitment to the $15 minimum wage will benefit almost 100,000 British Columbians who have been getting by on one of the lowest minimum wages in the country,” said Horgan, adding that 62 per cent of minimum-wage earners are women. Labour Minister Harry Bains said details around a fair wages commission’s composition and terms of reference will be announced in the coming weeks, but that its overarching objective is to get B.C. to $15 an

hour along a “planned, responsible path.” The commission will submit its first report within 90 days of its first meeting. “We’ve listened to business owners, who have told us gradual, predictable increases are the way to go to minimize the impact on their businesses,” Bains said. “And they recognize that the move to a $15 minimum wage is good for retention for their businesses, and good for the B.C. economy.” At the same time as the general minimumwage increase, the liquor servers’ wage is also rising by 50 cents, to $10.10 per hour. Other minimum-wage provisions in the employment standards regulation will also receive increases in line with the general minimum-wage increase of 4.6 per cent. This includes the daily rate for live-in home support workers and live-in camp leaders, as well as the monthly rates for resident caretakers and the minimum farm worker piece rates for harvesters of certain fruits and vegetables. In 2016, the percentage of employees earning minimum wage in B.C. was 4.8 per cent and the number of B.C. employees earning minimum wage in 2016 was 93,800 out of a total of 1,958,600 paid employees (excluding self-employed).

Celebrate

Labour Day 2017!

BC’s teachers stand proudly with all workers, determined to protect our quality public services and build a more equitable society for every British Columbian. A message from the Richmond Teachers’ Association (RTA), a local of the BC Teachers’ Federation, a social justice union.

ckroyd Dental Center, conveniently situated in the heart of Richmond, is a friendly, state-ofthe-art dental facility where the focus is working with you and your family to achieve optimum dental health “Prevention is a big part of the picture” explains Dr. Christopher Low “and key to that is patient education about best practices as partners in their own care.” Asked which misconceptions and knowledge gaps the Ackroyd Dental team would most like to clarify for Richmond News readers, these issues were top of mind: • What causes cavities? Cavities are caused by the accumulation of bacteria on the surfaces of our

teeth. These bacteria consume the sugars in our diets and produce acid. When these bacteria have remained on our teeth for a prolonged period of time, the acid begins to wear away the protective layer of our tooth (enamel) and will eventually create a hole or cavity. The removal of the accumulated bacteria is critical to the maintenance of good oral health as these bacteria are the cause of cavities and other problems. • How often should someone brush and <oss their teeth? And why? In order to maintain good oral health, your teeth should be brushed for two minutes, twice daily and Rossed once per day, in conjunction with regular dental visits. Your dentist or hygienist can help you determine if you are effectively

brushing your teeth and can provide recommendations on how to adequately clean those hard to reach areas. Recommendations may involve a modiTcation to your current technique or the demonstration of the use of Ross threaders, interproximal brushes, electric tooth brushes etc. Individuals with difTcult to clean areas (ie. braces, gum disease) may require more frequent brushing and Rossing. To Tnd out more information, schedule a visit with your dentist. • What is the best toothbrush to buy — soft, medium, hard — and why? It is always recommended that patients brush with a soft bristled tooth brush. Brushing too hard or the use of harder bristled brushes can damage teeth and gums. Many of the newer generation of electric toothbrushes have sensors which alert the user when they See Making page 17 15

Making smiles that last a lifetime From page 16 14 are applying too much pressure. For more information, visit your dentist. • How often should someone visit the dentist? And why? It is important to visit a dentist every six months to have a dental exam and cleaning. Regular exams and dental hygiene are important, since prevention or the early identiTcation of problems is much more effective than treatment at a later stage. Cavities and gum disease can be identiTed at an early stage and regular maintenance can help prevent the early loss of teeth. Patients who have periodontitis (gum disease) can beneTt from more frequent visits for dental hygiene. You should contact your dental provider to determine the hygiene frequency that is appropriate for you. • When should I take my child to the dentist for the =rst time? It is recommended by the Canadian Dental Association that children begin having regular dental visits starting six months after their Trst tooth appears or when they are about one year of age. These early visits will include a dental exam and serve to promote healthy dietary habits, oral hygiene and to identify problems that may lead to childhood caries. All information above is provided as a general guideline. What may be appropriate for you must be determined by you and your dentist. Whatever your current dental needs are, the staff at Ackroyd Dental Centre will

Hefty federal tax bill looms

he Canadian Chamber network is urging businesses to provide feedback on sweeping changes to federal tax and compliance laws. Are you a business owner? If your business is incorporated, then you could be facing a larger tax bill and big compliance costs from the government’s new proposals to change the way corporations are taxed. Here are three things you need to know about the tax changes proposed by the

federal government: 1. Do you employ family members? The government wants to scrutinize their compensation to apply a much higher tax rate on income they consider “unreasonable.” 2. Do you invest the proﬁts from your business? The federal government is proposing to tax that income at an effective rate of 70 per cent. 3. Do you want to pass your business on to your children? Tough new rules make it difacult for younger kids to get

the capital gains exemption. They could be double-taxed. Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are the engine of the Canadian economy – it’s estimated that anywhere from 85 to 90 per cent of all businesses in

Canada are SMEs. The chamber network across Canada is using its collective voice on this issue; your voice as a business person needs to be heard as part of this initiative. Send a message to your MP today. Government needs to know that this tax reform will harm businesses of all sizes. Don’t know where to send the message to your Member of Parliament? Look up their address using your postal code at: https://lop.parl.ca/ ParlInhttp://bit.ly/2tdoae2

Sports Editor

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

ince the top teams in the province are coming their way next spring, the Richmond Sockeyes have decided to embark on their own pre-season journey. The Sockeyes’ final tune-up in preparation for their Pacific Junior Hockey League home opener Sept. 7 will be a trip to Princeton over the Labour Day Weekend. Richmond will play a pair games against the Princeton Posse of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League — starting on Friday night. There will also be a “mini-camp” on Saturday and Sunday, along with team bonding activities away from the rink before facing the Posse again on Monday afternoon. As hosts of the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial junior “B” championships next April and with PJHL teams no longer going to the Keystone Cup, there were no potential big trips for the Sockeyes this season. New head coach Steve Robinson put together the Princeton retreat then got the blessing of ownership to cover much of the costs. “Teams that will be coming here to compete against us (at the Cyclone Taylor Cup) get that

dynamic and we don’t,” explained Robinson. “So I approached the ownership and they signed it off which is a credit to them. “We will be rolling out of here on the bus at 10:30 a.m. on Friday and get to play a couple of games in what should be a good atmosphere. We also got some fun things planned like going to the Bromley Rock swimming hole. It’s a full schedule for them with three nights up there and we will come back as a team.” Robinson is expected to finalize his roster soon after tonight’s final pre-season home game when the PJHL champion Aldergrove Kodiaks visit Minoru Arenas at 7:45 p.m. He already has 21 players carded and 24 will be making their way to Princeton, along with injured defenceman Matthew Brown. The trip will conclude a bustling training camp that began 19 days earlier and featured six exhibition games. That’s more pre-season tilts than the last four seasons combined. Former coach Judd Lambert opted for a more low key approach since many of the roster decisions were made at the club’s tryout camp back in early July. That tradition continues but Robinson is putting his own stamp on the team with a busy itinerary right up to the regular season opener against

North Vancouver. “The big thing over the years you learn is you can do practices, you can do inter-squad games but enemy bullets compared to friendly fire can be different,” reasoned Robinson who watch his team skate to a 6-1 win over Grandview on Monday night. “We are trying to keep the guys moving along in learning the rhythm they want to play as a team. “At this point you’re finding those little nuances of composition that come out of these exhibition games. You’re also looking for those little pieces that you think could be missing. The guys have responded well to it.” Icing… Of the 21 players carded thus far, 11 are returning veterans, including their top three scorers from a year ago — Arjun Badh, Connor Anderson and Brodie Crawford. Team captain Tyler Andrews is also a notable returnee and is healthy after missing 28 regular season games. The club has also welcomed back forward Tyler Paterson who spent the 2016-17 campaign with the B.C. Hockey League’s Surrey Eagles. Seafair product Jacob Latrace, 20, will head into the regular season as the Sockeyes’ number one goaltender. Two others are still in consideration to be his back-up.

Pacific Sport Institute helps with B.C. record medal haul T

he Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, which includes its Vancouver campus at the Richmond Olympic Oval, had a significant role in Team B.C.’s best-ever showing at this month’s Canada Summer Games. The Team B.C. delegation of 354 athletes, 52 coaches, 22 mission staff and 27 managers and technical support staff garnered a record 146 medals at the in Winnipeg and twothirds of those podium berths were recorded by athletes registered with the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific or an affiliated PacificSport Centre. “On behalf of our entire team of sport scientists and coaches, we’re so proud of the British Columbian performance at the 2017 Canada Summer Games and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the success of Team B.C. in Winnipeg,” said Wendy Pattenden, President & Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. “We’re certainly pleased to congratulate Team B.C. on its tremendous success at the Canada Games.” Team B.C. featured 130 registered athletes who have accessed benefits, programs, services and other resources provided by Canadian Sport Institute Pacific or its affiliated regional centres. Of the 146 medals won by Team B.C,. registered Canadian Sport Institute athletes contributed to 96

of these medals — in impressive 66 percent. In addition to the registered athletes at the Games, 22 registered coaches from Canadian Sport Institute Pacific or an affiliated PacificSport Centre were members of Team BC. “The Canadian Sport Institute Pacific is extremely proud to work alongside provincial sport organizations to support the development of future Olympians and Paralympians in B.C.,” added Pattenden. “The success of Team B.C. is a reflection of the strong working relationship sport delivery organizations have across (the province) through the viaSport Regional Alliance.” As part of the provincial sport system in B.C., Canadian Sport Institute Pacific provides system and technical leadership at the national, provincial, and regional levels with the goal of increasing the number of BC athletes on national teams with the potential to win medals for Canada. Through the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific Performance Services and Talent Development divisions, targeted athletes and coaches have access to world-leading programs, services, and resources to enhance sport excellence.

TRUTH IN EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember. Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad. Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment. If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the: Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711 Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email: inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.

If any reader encounters non-compliance with these standards we ask that you inform the Publisher of this newspaper and The Advertising Standards Council of B.C. OMISSION AND ERROR: The publishers do not guarantee the insertion of a particular advertisement on a specified date, or at all, although every effort will be made to meet the wishes of the advertisers. Further, the publishers do not accept liability for any loss of damage caused by an error or inaccuracy in the printing of an advertisement beyond the amount paid for the space actually occupied by the portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred. Any corrections of changes will be made in the next available issue. The Richmond News will be responsible for only one incorrect insertion with liability limited to that portion of the advertisement affected by the error. Request for adjustments or corrections on charges must be made within 30 days of the ad’s expiration. For best results please check your ad for accuracy the first day it appears.
