WHEN PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND PUBLIC CONCERNS COLLIDE
A HAZARD?
City council is grappling with how to deal with a property at 509 11th St. that’s raised concerns about its appearance and safety. The city has laid out steps the property owner must take to address safety concerns. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
New West tackles ‘horror show’ house New Westminster city council is sensitive to the needs of a property owner and a “night watchman” living in a Brow of the Hill home, but is deeply concerned about health and safety issues related to the house. City officials have identified numerous health and safety issues
related to the outside and inside of the house at 509 11th St.The city states there is no furnace in the house and scaffolding has surrounded it for years.There is also stagnant water in the basement, black mould in the wood framing in the basement, broken windows, a collapsing ceiling in the hallway on the main floor and openings in the house that allow “raccoons and other vermin” to get inside. “Staff are asking council to im-

believes the property in question meets both of those criteria.” Christy Meriegh, manager of building inspections, said city officials have had limited access to the interior of the house but believe the house is in very poor condition and is in violation of the B.C. Building Code. “The building contains multiple hazardous conditions making it unsafe for occupancy,” he said. “The hazardous conditions may

Up Front CHECK IT OUT ON DEC. 2
That thing you need. It might be here The NewWest Thingery is kind of like a tool library, but it aims to offer much more than just tools By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Always wanted to take up woodworking but can’t justify the expense of buying a table saw? Or maybe you’re looking to start skiing again but don’t want to buy your skis? That’s where the New West Thingery comes in. It is a lending library of sorts that allows members to borrow a variety of items, including sports equipment, power tools, household appliances, kids’ toys and much more. Founded by Chris Diplock, one of the co-founders of the Vancouver tool library, the goal of the New West Thingery is to remove the barriers that stop a lot of people from pursuing certain – often expensive – hobbies. “The Thingery kind of grew out of the tool library movement,” he told the Record. “The Thingery expands on that in that you can basically borrow or lend any type of equipment, including things like recreation equipment.” The idea is to stock the New West Thingery with donations from people in the community, which would allow people to clear out their homes of items they don’t use often enough, Diplock added.
Let’s say you wanted to power wash your house, but you’re not going to do it every day, so why buy one only to have it sit in your garage, Diplock explained. Instead, by joining the Thingery, you could have access to a power washer when you needed it without forking over a fortune. There is, however, a cost to being a member of the Thingery community. People will need to buy a membership, which includes a $50 lifetime membership fee and a subsequent annual fee of $29. Memberships are available to anyone 18 years or older. There will also be a borrowing fee. “A lot of the equipment that we’ll be lending out has a high upfront cost and ongoing maintenance and upkeep that’s required,” Diplock said. While he expects the bulk of the items will be donated, Diplock said there will likely be some items on the Thingery’s wish list that Diplock will have to purchase.The membership fees will cover these anticipated costs and will help pay for any repairs or maintenance the items might need over time. But, on the other hand, some items won’t cost any-

thing to borrow, he added. On Saturday, Dec. 2, Diplock is inviting the community to stop by the New West Thingery, located outside River Market at 810 Quayside Dr., between
10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for the free soft launch party. Folks will be able to learn more about the Thingery, donate items to its inventory and sign up for a membership. (People who sign

THE CHANGING CITY
City seeks to build more diverse committees Advocate for a new mandate says it’s not going to happen overnight, but it will have a ‘transformative power’ By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The City of New Westminster is aiming to make its advisory committees more reflective of the city’s diverse population. New West resident Gurveen Dhaliwal met with Mayor Jonathan Cote and Coun. Mary Trentadue to discuss the idea of implementing a diversity mandate for the city’s advisory committees. Dhaliwal said there’s a clear lack of diversity on city committees, advisory boards and task forces, and the advisory groups need to have a broader diversity, including Indigenous people, people of colour, people with disabilities and individuals in the LGBTQ community. In addition to addressing a “very prob-
lematic” situation on city committees, Dhaliwal said a diversity mandate has a “transformative power” and could lead to positive impacts on other organizations, clubs and community groups in the city. “It is pretty powerful,” she told council Monday night. At Monday’s meeting, council approved a motion to direct staff to research, review and report back on best practices regarding embedding a diversity mandate into the city’s current committee programs and policies. “I think it’s important to recognize that it’s not going to happen overnight. It might not even happen within a year or two,” Dhaliwal said. “In introducing a mandate, I feel it’s important to note that it needs to
There seems to be a startling difference between the community at large and city committees
be done in parallel, and as a complementary strategy, to actually engaging with the many diverse community organizations that we do have in the community, and to reach out through other methods throughout the year and really recruit through the engagement.”
New West resident Nadine Nakagawa, who has served on several city committees, voiced her support for the plan. “Something that has always stood out to me is that the committees that I go to, that I see, don’t represent the community that I see when I walk around the neighbourhood, when I take transit,” she said. “There seems to be a startling difference between the community at large and city committees.” That’s something that really hit home for Nakagawa, when attending one of the city’s civic dinners for volunteers. “I was a member of the multiculturalism advisory committee at the time. At that civic dinner, the committees were asked to stand Continued on page 5

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY November 23, 2017 5
City Suspect arrested for rash of purse snatchings Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
A suspected prolific purse-snatcher is behind bars thanks to an alert employee at River Market. In August, police were notified about a number of stolen backpacks and purses taken from public areas around NewWestminster. Most of the incidents happened in the middle of the day, police reported. Investigators believe the thefts happened when people would put their bags down behind them or leave a bag unattended for a moment or two.When the victims weren’t looking, the
suspect would swoop in and take the items without anyone noticing, according to a press release from the New Westminster Police Department. Police also allege the suspect used the victims’ credit cards after taking the bags. “It is always troubling when there is a series of offences, especially when the offences are done in broad daylight and in public spaces,” said police spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott in the release. The department banded together, and investigators from patrol, the criminal intelligence unit, crime suppression team and the fo-
rensic identification section were assigned to the case. Nearly three months later, on Oct. 3, officers arrestedWilliam Raymond Banks after he was spotted by an employee at River Market. “Solving crime often includes the assistance of the public, so we want to thank the community for their help in solving this series of alleged offences,” Scott said. Banks, 36, fromVancouver, is charged with nine counts of theft; six counts of fraud; two counts of breach of conditions; and one count of possession of a stolen credit card. Banks is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 6.
City works to encourage diversity Continued from page 3 up and be acknowledged, which is a really nice practice.When the multiculturalism advisory committee stood up, it seemed to me that all the people of colour in the room stood up. That was quite a stark visual image, with the fact that I think cultural diversity is very much siloed on that committee and isn’t represented on the other committees,” she said. “I think this is a big problem.” Nakagawa believes the city’s motion is “a really good first step” toward addressing this problem. “I think that having those diverse perspectives embedded in all the committees will make the community stronger,” she said. “I also think that it will enhance leadership in different areas of our very diverse community and allow for people to be more broadly repre-
sented in the social agenda and the social policies of the city.” Trentadue said New Westminster is a highly diverse community, noting students at Lord Kelvin Elementary School speak 54 different languages. “To have a diversity mandate that affects our committees, and possibly move it internally into our other city policies as well, would go a long way to making sure that we are attracting and welcoming all of the
people in our community and finding out what their needs are and their opinions are on the work that we do,” she said. Trentadue said the city’s standard advertising practices aren’t getting the word out to everyone, so the city will have to determine how it can break into some communities that aren’t aware of the city’s committee structure and how they can get involved.
To get ready, our current online system will no longer be available to the public starting December 1st. Stay tuned for more details about our new registration and booking system and what it means for you. newwestcity.ca/activeliving.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Kudos for those who speak truth to power There are a couple of ways to view New Westminster’s decision to look into the possibility of creating a diversity mandate for city committees (see story page 3). One could ask why the heck this hasn’t been done earlier. After all, it is 2017, and diversity and fair representation and affirmative action are not new concepts. And then there’s
the other way of looking at council’s decision: it is a heartfelt, powerful move to really change the way politics are built from the ground up in this city. We prefer the second way of looking at the decision. Gurveen Dhaliwal deserves huge kudos for not only bringing the subject up but for advocating for a diversity mandate for the
city’s advisory committees. It’s not easy to speak truth to power, even if that power is as welcoming as Mayor Jonathan Cote. And then there’s Nadine Nakagawa, who tells us that when she was attending one of the city’s civic dinners for volunteers as a member of the multicultural committee: “...the committees were asked to stand up and be
acknowledged, which is a really nice practice.When the multicultural advisory committee stood up, it seemed to me that all the people of colour in the room stood up.” She said it was a stark display of how people of colour were “siloed.” She’s absolutely right, and, again, she also deserves kudos for speaking out. So now it’s up to city
staff to pull together a plan and policies for how to broaden the city’s tent and make the city a much more representative community. It’s not an easy task. There’s a reason academics call it “institutionalized racism and sexism.” Political and justice systems have evolved over decades, if not centuries, to keep the white guys at the
top. And too often diversity mandates end up merely increasing token appointments meant to look like real change. We hope city council’s directive doesn’t just turn into “window dressing” but actually helps redesign the whole house. Everybody will benefit from a city hall that truly reflects this city’s diversity.
MY VIEW KRIS HAMAGUCHI
May Day is a proud tradition
I am currently living in Asia but spent the first 24 years of my life as a proud resident of New Westminster and return there regularly to visit my parents. Over the past few weeks, social media has been inundated with concern over the future of May Day celebrations. I believe having the event take place at Queen’s Park does a much better job of celebrating the history and the City of New Westminster. It is an opportunity for all the children of New Westminster to really see that they are part of a community, as they all come together to celebrate. I am a teacher, and I firmly believe that if May Day was left to individual schools to celebrate, we would quickly see the tradition deteriorate as other priorities would take place. Also, my guess is that most of the teachers in New West are not from there, so they may not see the significance in May Day that longtime residents do. Making this a mandatory event in which all the school children of the city come together will ensure that the history of New Westminster is not forgotten. I participated in May Day celebrations throughout my years of public school in New West. I remember it being very, very exciting to earn the honour of performing before such a massive audience in both grades 3 and 4. I was not the kind of person who would have ever been May Queen, but I got to shine as a member of the team of male and female
dancers. If an outside entity took responsibility for May Day celebrations, I am convinced that there are very few children who would end up participating as families would say they are too busy to support their children, and those who would simply not see the importance in exposing their children to the opportunity. And in this day and age of technology, I’m sure a lot of children would opt to go home and play on their iPad before heading to a rehearsal to dance around the maypole. Now, please tell me what the best choice would be for children – gluing themselves to a screen or experiencing the beauty and mental stimulation of music, physical activity, collaboration, team-type spirit, camaraderie and self-pride in their accomplishment when they get out on that field and perform for an audience of their peers and other community members? I work at an international school in the Philippines and have travelled to almost every country in Southeast Asia. Here, every Asian culture has such incredible national pride, which is highly visible through dance, costumes, food and other cultural traditions that they actively celebrate and cherish. Canada is such a young country that is lacking in such traditions.Taking May Day away from New Westminster would deteriorate the city/province that much more in this respect.

Visa scammer nabbed When a computer business on 12th Street got three orders for computers, all from the same person, all paid for over the phone with a credit card, staff got suspicious. They called police who checked with Visa.The card had not been reported stolen, so they contacted the card owner. He hadn’t bought any computers. Police set up a sting, sending two plainclothes officers to be at the store when the fraudster came to pick up the computers. He was arrested on the spot. Investigators found out the Visa information had likely come from a Surrey gas station, either from the garbage or from an employee.

Letters Time change has to go Dear Editor: I note with approval your ‘Our View: It’s way past time to ditch this routine’ (the Record, Nov. 16). The one caveat I would propose is that if we ditch time changes bi-annually, we stay on daylight saving time. To me the “extra” light at 7 a.m. is wasted, plus I note that over the years, the months on DST are increasing while standard time months are decreasing, so DST must be more popular. Any other so-called advantages of altering the time are, as you point out, offset by increased accidents and less productivity, etc., etc. I know that, scientifically, standard time is “correct,” something about the sun reaching its highest point at noon, but that will happen regardless of what we do with our timepieces, so yes, let’s get it over with and go on DST all year. Colin Dover, New Westminster
Save the city’s traditions Continued from page 6 clothing that the May Queen suite wears, I can guarantee that you don’t see Japanese and Korean girls trading in their kimono or hanbok for jeans and a T-shirt, or anything else for that matter. It is a visible representation of their heritage that they wear with pride. As for the inclusiveness of the event, the decision was made several years ago to include boys in the May Queen suite.This was definitely a step in the right direction.
Voting for a representative is a part of life and, although there is the possibility that it ends up being more of a popularity contest, I also believe that a lot can be done to change that as long as the expectations for those running for the title are made clear and, possibly, revised. Finally, I understand that teaching time is taken up by this event, however, it should be made a formal part of the curriculum. B.C. has recently made a change in their K-12 curriculum to make the learning more authentic and meaningful for students. May Day absolutely provides a valid, authentic purpose for learning. Furthermore, the history of May Day should also be acknowledged and studied more in-depth in the schools.This could be done through the study of traditions, with May Day being one of many possible examples. Children could be reaching out to the community to interview people about the history of the city. It certainly does not have to be an “add-on,” but rather a focal point of student learning. It would be a real crime to steal away or diminish the value of May Day in New Westminster. I hope the powers that be will listen to the voices that have the courage to speak up, as they represent a huge population who don’t have the guts or the time to put pen to paper and share their view.

Taxi licence decision was ‘bizarre’: council Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
If you’ve got an issue with the number of accessible taxis in NewWestminster, take it up with the province. City council recently supported amendments to the commercial vehicle bylaw that would allow Royal City Taxi Ltd. to add eight new taxis to its fleet. Royal City Taxi applied to operate 15 new vehicles – 11 accessible taxis and four conventional taxis – but only received approval from the Passenger Transportation Branch to operate eight new vehicles, said Kim Deighton, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services “They were given approval for six conventional and two wheelchair-accessible, making a total of eight,” she said. That didn’t sit well with Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “I have a problem with them asking for a large number of accessible taxis and only being given two,” he said. “That doesn’t make any sense to me. I can’t find any rationale why they would approve fewer accessible taxis than a company actually want to provide to the city. I think it speaks to a larger failure of the Passenger Transportation Branch to actually fair-

ly assess what our needs are as far as taxi services. I am in favour of this application. I don’t think we are approving enough taxis to provide the needs for the city.” While the new taxis are “a good step in the right direction,” Johnstone said the city is still facing inadequate taxi service because of the provincial board that approves these licences. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said it’s strange a taxi company is willing to spend more money to provide accessible vehicles but is being told it can’t provide that level of service. “It’s such a bureaucracy,” he said. “It’s just bizarre. It’s an important service.” A staff report states that in order to operate a taxi, an operator must first obtain a
licence from B.C.’s Passenger Transportation Board. “When considering an application for a taxi licence, the PTB considers factors such as the applicant’s background, the need for additional taxi service, and economic impacts on existing taxis. PTB licences specify the type of vehicle to be used (i.e. wheelchair accessible or sedan) and the area to be served,” said a staff report.

Quayside mail thief gets jail time, probation Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca
A “chronic prolific offender” who pried open three mailboxes and stole mail from a Quayside apartment building ran out of chances in B.C. provincial court last month. On Oct. 3, Darren Patrick Graham, 38, pleaded guilty to four different property offences, including a break-in at 2 Renaissance Sq. in New West where he was caught on video at 3 a.m. on Nov. 24, 2016 prying open three mailboxes
and stealing mail. Over the past 19 years, Graham, who is addicted to crystal methamphetamine, has had 100 convictions, for property and drug crimes and a number of assaults, according to court documents. “I have had the accused before me since his arrival in Vancouver,” stated provincial court judge Thomas Gove in his reasons for sentence Oct. 3. “In sentencing him, I have sent him to recovery programs and to jail. He has been, up until now, on the Downtown Commu-
nity Court Case Management Team where he has had significant resources available to him to address his housing, mental health, and addiction.” Graham’s lawyer argued he should be given timeand-a-half credit for the 92 days he had already spent in custody and released on a conditional sentence order. But Gove ruled the time
had come to put more emphasis on the protection of the public. “The court accepts that his drug addiction is a medical issue and will not likely be successfully addressed in the criminal justice system or by the court,” stated Gove. “… All the court can do for the accused is to push or coerce him into programs that he may ac-
cept and to receive help. This has been done for almost 20 years.The court also must look to the protection of the public – the protection of the community from criminal conduct. Once an offender’s record gets to what the accused’s now is, over 100 convictions, although his rehabilitation remains a goal, an important goal, more em-
phasis must be put on the protection of the public.” After giving Graham time-and-a-half credit for 92 days served, he sentenced him to another seven-and-a-half months in jail and one year of probation. Among his probation orders is an order to stay away from 2 Renaissance Sq.

City CITY COUNCIL DEBATES PROBLEM HOME
‘You are not concerned about my health, my safety’ Continued from page 1 untruths. He said the home doesn’t have any broken pipes or black mould, alleged the water in the house is coming from a neighbour’s property and insisted the scaffolding is safe. “I don’t feel that there is any hazard with what I am doing,” he said. “I was just up there today doing some work. I will be up there tomorrow and the next day and continue on with what I am doing. I hope you consider this very carefully because it’s affecting my night watchman who is living there. He doesn’t have anywhere else to go right now.” A “night watchman,” who has lived in the house for seven years and does not pay rent, sat in the gallery at council chambers, yelling out comments during the discussion that lasted for nearly two hours. “You are not concerned about my health, my safety,” he shouted. “You are try-
ing to take my place of residence away, where I live in.You are not concerned about my safety. It’s just lies.” Mayor Jonathan Cote is concerned about Bell’s ability and willingness to rectify the issue. He said he’s also

don’t exist in homes in the city. He said the scaffolding is “problematic” and the house is without a furnace. “The last thing I would want to see happen is that your night watchperson dies in a fire caused by an electric heater,” he said. Harper said the issues with the house have gone on for a long time and need to be resolved. Bell said financial issues and time restraints have impacted his ability to get the work done quicker, but he’s working on the property every day. “The issues are minor,” he said. “They can be dealt with.” Coun. Mary Trentadue said she isn’t hopeful much will change with the property in 60 days and stressed the city needs to make sure the property is safe. “I don’t want to be the councillor at the table when something happens because we did nothing,” she said. “I

What does the city plan to do to address the problem home? Here’s what the city decided to do to address the many problems it has found with the home at 509 11th St. " The city is giving the property owner 60 days to remove the scaffolding and graffiti on the garage.
" The city is giving the owner 60 days to apply for building permits to remediate or demolish the house. " The city is giving the owner 150 days to fulfill the remedial action requirements. Remedial
work that must be done to the house includes: repairing or replacing external drainage and the internal sanitary drainage system; repairing or replacing missing or deteriorated wood framing; repairing or replacing the

have been a member of the arts council, I have sometimes wondered whether it would be 125 years before NewWestminster had its own arts centre,” arts council president Eileen Thompson is quoted in the paper. Thompson thanked the city for donating the $145,000 necessary for building the gallery – an 800-square-foot addition to the lodge in Queen’s Park. The space has since seen changes – recent upgrades include new lighting, new hardwood floors, and renovations to move office space out of the main-floor gallery and into the lower level. But the arts council has always been about far more than just its gallery space. “The purpose has always been to promote the arts in the community, to expose audiences to what we have at a local level,” O’Shea says. “There’s a pull toVancouver a lot of times for cultural consumption.This has always been about promoting the arts in NewWest.” The definition of “arts” has continued to evolve and expand over the years. For much of its lifetime, the arts council was helmed by Andrée St. Martin, the previous executive director, who served from 1987 until 2015 – overseeing a wide range of projects that included art rental programs, the Last Mondays at the Movies film series, concerts and an annual Christmas Treasure Room, among many others.

Queen’s Park, O’Shea is also working to make sure that there are no limits on who gets to enjoy the art. The three- and four-yearolds at Queen’s Park Preschool, which is housed on the lower level of Centennial Lodge, come up regularly to the gallery to check out the shows and then draw their own art inspired by what they’ve seen. It’s just one small part of O’Shea’s desire to take away anything that would make the arts feel pretentious or intimidating, and instead make it welcoming for all. “Community art galleries are that safe space for people to experience the arts,” O’Shea says. “The gallery is always open to everyone, always free.” While its mission is to nurture the arts within New Westminster, the arts council also aims to help attract tourists to the city.

Arts & Entertainment Plaskett’s work featured at Queen’s Park gallery Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
It seems only fitting that the 50th anniversary celebrations of the arts council should take place against a backdrop of the work of a New West luminary: Joseph Plaskett. Plaskett, born in 1918 in New Westminster, went on to international fame as
an artist based in Paris. He died in 2014 at the age of 96, after a career that included being named to the Order of Canada. The Plaskett exhibition – on now at the Gallery at Queen’s Park – was, in fact, a stroke of last-minute serendipity. After an artist cancelled an exhibition at the eleventh hour, O’Shea reached out to the
‘It’s all the people’ Continued from page 11 Events such as the New Westminster Cultural Crawl and NewWest Craft – especially the winter and summer night markets – have become a draw for out-oftowners. O’Shea is already eyeing even more expansion next year. “I’m already working on 2018,” O’Shea says. “2018 looks to be bigger, better, brighter and busier.We’re just super excited to keep bringing the arts to where people are at.” O’Shea is excited to be operating under the leadership of a city council that supports and encourages the arts as part of civic success – he notes that Mayor Jonathan Cote, at the city’s recent civic dinner, took the time to highlight the city’s many cultural successes, rather than simply focusing
on development. “It’s been thrilling for the arts council to be a part of council’s vision,” O’Shea says. What it all means, in the end, is that this weekend’s celebration gives the arts council a chance to celebrate the fact that it has spent five decades living up to its mission: to promote and celebrate the arts in NewWestminster. Everyone is welcome to take part in the celebration – something O’Shea notes is particularly important for the arts council and its president, Leanne Ewen. “It’s the belief that all of us are the arts council,” he says. “It’s not the board, it’s not me, it’s not this space, it’s all the people. It’s all of us together that make up the arts community. It’s all of us together that make up the arts council.”

New Westminster Public Library’s chief librarian, Julie Spurrell, to see if they could lend the arts council some of their collection of Plaskett’s work. The subject matter is views of New Westminster – “It seems all people from New Westminster, their favourite subject is New Westminster,” O’Shea laughs. O’Shea notes the art isn’t
new to local viewers. It’s on display at the library but not always in the foreground for library visitors; here at the gallery, though, it can be gathered in one exhibition and made a focal point of this celebration of arts in New Westminster. “The timing is just perfect with the 50th anniversary.To be able to highlight Joseph’s work is something
really special,” O’Shea says. The exhibition, which opened Nov. 1, is underway until Nov. 26. It will form the backdrop for arts council celebrations on that Sunday afternoon, when the annual general meeting will be followed by a reception and open house that’s open to everyone, from 2:30 to 5 p.m. Later in the week, the arts
council will host a special “secret” concert on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m. (Spoiler alert:We’re not telling you who’s performing in the concert, but it’s pretty easy to find out.The arts council’s website just might, in fact, have some information.)

Family Services of Greater Vancouver has been inundated with requests to help seniors at Christmas – and is searching for seniors in need. The local non-profit oversees the Caring Neighbours at Christmas program, which matches sponsors with local families and seniors in need. Family Services is looking for low-income, single seniors (and couples) who may be interested in being sponsored this Christmas. “We have dozens of people who have registered to sponsor a senior,” said community education and development services manager Pat Steiner in an email to the Record. “It’s challenging to connect to seniors, and we are turning to the community to help us connect with seniors who may not know about our program.” To make it as easy as possible for seniors to register, a neighbour or friend can liaise with Family Services regarding forms needed to be filled out as part of the application process. The Caring Neighbours at Christmas program is open to seniors aged 55 and up who live in New Westminster, have a phone number where they can be reached and aren’t registered with any other Christ-

Heritage homes open doors for holiday tour
Tickets go fast for this popular NewWest event By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Folks will be coming from far and wide to enjoy the holiday spirit at the fifth annual Homes for the Holidays tour. The Queen’s Park Healthcare Volunteer Society is giving people a chance to tour six heritage homes in the Queen’s Park and Brow of the Hill neighbourhoods that have been beautifully decorated for the holidays.The tour is on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. “People love it,” said Colleen McDonald, vicechair of Queen’s Park Healthcare Volunteer Society’s board of directors. “There’s a woman who comes from Portland. People come from Seattle.There’s a woman who comes from Edmonton. I even got an email from a woman wanting to know when the tour was so that she could book her holidays.” With only 350 tickets available, the tour usually sells out as fans of heritage and Christmas want to soak up the holiday atmosphere in beautiful heritage homes. “I think it’s just the fact that it sort of kicks off the Christmas season because it’s the first Sunday of December. It’s the magic of these beautiful homes decorated inside and out,” McDonald said. “They get ideas for decorating. So many of these houses, we
walk by them and we just want to get inside and see what they look like.” This year’s tour includes homes that have never been included on heritage tours in the city, as well as some old favourites decked out in their holiday finery. The Homes for the Holidays tour includes stops at the Captain W.H. Philpott

House (1905), the Robert Buckland House (1891), E-Dee-Nie – the Edmund J. Boughen House (1911), the Herbert Davidson House (1910) and the William Mercer House (1901). A sixth stop on the tour, the 1892 Hugh Galbraith House, is where folks can enjoy a glass of wine and shortbread, and shop for items from the Quintessential gift shop in Queen’s Park Care Centre. Christmas decorations and home décor, accessories such as capes, purses and scarves,
soaps and bath salts, stuffed animals and colouring books are among the items being sold at the Galbraith House. “We have lots of fun things for stocking stuffers,” McDonald said. “One I especially love is the spiky, rubber snowman head that lights up when you bounce him on the ground.” A pianist will be playing at one house on the tour, while harpists will be performing at another home. The Queen’s Park Healthcare Volunteer Society is raising funds for programs and events for people in care and attending day programs at Queen’s Park Health Care Centre. Funds go to a variety of initiatives at the facility, including new tablecloths for special events and Wi-Fi. “We cover the cost of concerts in care, which is a weekly event at the hospital.That is where professional musicians come in and entertain,” McDonald said. “We provide funds for Christmas gifts so nobody goes without a gift at Christmas time.” Tickets are $30 and available online at www. qphvs.org.You can also purchase tickets at Champagne Taste and Home Décor (1101 Royal Ave.), Benjamin Moore Royal City Colours (700 12th St.) and GardenWorks at Mandeville (4746 Marine Dr., Burnaby).

districts and many of the city’s multi-unit residential buildings, creating a solid foundation for future development and unique “smart” technology innovation. Coté notes that there are seven key focus areas under the Intelligent New West program: intelligent mobility, intelligent environment, intelligent community, intelligent economy, intelligent living, open government and infrastructure. While the terms may sound ambiguous to someone new to the concepts, they have highly specific and targeted meanings: intelligent environment, for example, includes using computing technology for achieving goals around waste, water and air quality; intelligent

he Royal City has always symbolized the best of both worlds: the past and the present coming together in a community that is equal parts small town and big city. But there’s a new dimension to New Westminster that places it firmly in the future. Intelligent New West is a multi-faceted initiative that is not just preparing the city for the world of tomorrow but leading the way as a progressive example to other communities around the globe. It’s a process that is both inspiring and exciting, says Mayor Jonathon Coté, and one driven by the desire to ensure a solid economic future for the community. “The city has changed so much over the last few decades. The traditional industries that were part of this area in many cases simply aren’t here any more. So that really forces you to to look at the future of the economy, not just here but throughout the region and the world,” he said. “And looking at that question brings you to a host of other related issues in access to technology.” In other words: how do you make the city connected so that businesses, education, civic activities and – most importantly – the people who live here, can not just be ready for the future but thrive in the process, too? The answer has been the Intelligent New West initiative – and it’s already begun to garner world-wide attention. “We were incredibly proud particularly as a city the size of New West – to be L to R: Alvin Chok, Chief Information named one of Officer; Jonathan X. Coté, Mayor; the Smart21 Bill Harper, Councillor and co-chair, Communities Intelligent City Advisory Committee; of 2017,” said Mike Hrybyk, community member Coté. “To be and co-chair, Intelligent City Advisory recognized Committee and Patricia Jecks, on an Intelligent City Project Coordinator international scale, out of more than 400 communities across the globe, was a tremendous honour and validated the work we’re doing here.” The Smart21 program, under the wing of the New York-based Intelligent Community Forum, helps to study and promote best practices in intelligent communities as they work with and explore opportunities presented by information and communications technology. One of the primary pieces of building for the future under this iniative has been the development of BridgeNet, a high-speed fibre network stretching from one end of the city to the other. It connects commercial
mobility includes using tech and data to connect people and places through various transports. “New Westminster will always be a community that places high value on its heritage and its past, but I think this program is something that compliments that by embracing the reality that we are an increasingly urban community where people and businesses can thrive and put down roots,” said Coté. “We’re really bridging the best of the past and the future, and taking a leadership role in that – this is a chance for New Westminster to be progressive and inclusive and forward thinking,” he added. “It’s an exciting time to be in New Westminster.” SPONSORED CONTENT

It’s an astounding facility.” But there’s always more to do – and right now, the foundation is focused squarely on the next big project: a major redevelopment of the hospital campus. “This is going to be a $1.3 billion redevelopment, and the largest in western Canadian history,” he notes. “And we’ve committed to raise tens of millions of dollars towards that over the next ten years.” That means being more creative, more

or many, the hospital is a place to visit only when necessary – and even then, for as limited a time as possible. For Doug Eveneshen, the opposite is true. Eveneshen is the chair of the board at the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, and it’s a role he treasures not just for the chance it provides him to give back to the community but also for the insight it allows into the impact the hospital has on countless lives. “I am here every week, sometimes every single day and I love it,” he said. “You walk through the halls here and there’s so much emotion. You see hope and happiness, you see people receiving support through their despair and sadness, you see people being encouraged, a helping hand offered in tough times, and celebration in happy times. Seeing all that, being part of people’s lives in that way, is impossible in any other role.” Eveneshen, a CEO with a credit union, says his volunteer work with the foundation has been rewarding since he first got involved five years ago. “I am thrilled that I can help people, from being able to lead the foundation’s efforts (in fundraising) but also just those day-to-day interactions Doug Eveneshen of talking to people in the hospital,” he said. “It’s really where my heart is.” And a good place for a heart to be: the hospital serves as an acute care facility for not just the local area but the entire province. Royal Columbian is the only hospital in BC with cardiac, trauma, neurosciences, high-risk maternity and neonatal intensive care on one site. In other words, the most seriously ill and injured patients from across the province come to RCH for care. RCH is the province’s busiest cardiac care centre, notes Eveneshen, and the neonatal intensive care unit is considered the most successful in terms of survival rates in all of Canada for more than a decade now. “Those are just a few of the statistics, but there are countless more amazing stories and details like that here,” he said. Much of the foundation’s work in recent years has been to provide funding for critical, cutting-edge technology. “One of those projects, really ground-breaking, has
innovative, and more dedicated than ever before – and bringing more talent and passion into the mix. “Our CEO Jeff Norris is bright, he’s amazing, and I really believe he can help get us there – and we’re also looking at the board, and our team, and building on that solid foundation we have now and bringing in some new people to grow with us,” he said. It’s a transformational time to be part of the hospital foundation, Eveneshen said, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything. “This hospital is in my blood now, and I can’t wait to see where we go.” SPONSORED CONTENT

the last 15 years, she says the future has never looked better for the community. “New Westminster is this year’s ‘It Kid’. … It is amazing to see our city basking in the sun,” she said, noting the progress, growth and change in this area in recent years. “We are becoming a world-class city and I’m not even sure if people fully realize it. This is a special time.” That means a hot real estate market, which is great for business, but for Darcy it’s also an opportunity to be part of that change – and to also preserve the best aspects of the city. “People love this city for so many reasons – small town feeling, it has that heritage, it’s

ood things come to those who wait – or so the old saying goes. But at Rethink Real Estate Group, “waiting” isn’t really in the vocabulary: for this New Westminster-based team, good things come to those who have a vision for the future, a passion to achieve it, and a work ethic that just won’t quit – and enough fearlessness to take a leap into the unknown. Darcy Schlechtleitner leads the team at ReThink, whose mold-breaking approach to the real estate industry has garnered them not just incredible growth as a business, but also a sterling reputation in the industry. Those are great achievements, says Darcy, but more important is what their efforts mean to each and every client – which has always been, and always will be, the light by which they guide their evolution. “We have one core value: Do the right thing for the client,” she said. “I obsess about how to maintain absolute service and integrity in all that we do as we grow.” It’s an approach that has worked well, to say the least. After several years as a division under the banner of a larger real estate organization, 2017 brought yet more change for the local business. “We quietly opened ReThink Real Darcy Schlechtleitner Estate Group this year: a boutique brokerage of a few like-minded souls who work as a collective making the overall experience unparalleled in service, sale prices, creativity and knowledge,” she said. “We also have three divisions now: ReThink Home, ReThink Stage, and ReThink Land.” These three divisions cover, respectively: house/ condo buy and sell, staging for listings, and finally land assembly, parcelling, OCP specialists and developer/ homeowner liaison. It’s a natural next step for an organization that grew out of Darcy’s desire to reconsider the traditional approaches to real estate, and find new ways to serve her clients at every step of the process. “I want my customers to feel absolute contentment on all levels. I want them to know ‘we made top dollar, ReThink did more, and we picked the right team,’” she said. There’s no other place she’d want to be than the Royal City, personally or professionally. As a resident for
progressive and modern but also traditional. It’s a real utopia, a bubble,” she said. “You still kind of get to know everyone in a city like this.” Giving back to the community continues to be a priority for her and her team, be it through local homeless initiatives or other volunteer efforts. At the same time, she is fiercely loyal and protective of her work “family” and about balancing work and life. “It’s not all about the money for me,” she said. “It’s about an abundant life: you do the right thing, for your team, for your clients, for your community.” SPONSORED CONTENT

community within a community – that’s what Oxygen Yoga and Fitness has created in their Columbia Street location since opening four years ago. Oxygen has fast become a favourite home-base for yoga and fitness enthusiasts of all ages in the Royal City, which itself has a special place in the hearts and lives of its owners. “That whole notion of community and what that means has always been important to us, but it really comes together here (in Oxygen) in such a unique way,” said Kelly Ranford. Ranford and Oxygen partner Faith Wiens opened the doors in January 2014 under the umbrella of the New Westminster-based Stonewater Group. Stonewater is an award-winning restaurant group that is owned by the Ranfords and the Flintoffs, local friends with long established roots in the Royal City. When Wiens – who has been with Stonewater for over 18 years and serves as controller for the organization – told them about her experience with an Oxygen Yoga in another community, they were quick to agree with her
assessment on the potential of a local franchise. The decision has paid off in spades: their two studios have a bustling schedule that continues to grow and expand. “It has absolutely become this incredible community. People enjoy being here, it’s such a happy comfortable place to be,” said Ranford. “What we’ve built here is very special.” Ranford notes the studio is unique in the breadth of its offerings: from traditional yoga practice, to more cardio-based yoga fusion classes with dance, boxing moves and more. “We really pay attention to what members are showing up for, what’s popular, what are they asking about, what’s going on out there in the wider yoga world, what’s best for our bodies, the latest concepts, and then really morphing our classes to fit those needs. Even the same person might need different things at

different times and we can give them those options.” On top of that, the studio offers yoga teacher training and a variety of workshops. “We have this really interesting range. We might have a weekend workshop on yoga as a coping strategy, and then we have the Naked Truth yoga teacher training. We have yoga instructors coming from all over to our studio to do training and I think that really is a testament to what Faith created in our particular franchise that we have the best of the best coming here.” Ranford is herself an instructor, on top of her primary role as an educator and counsellor with the New Westminster school district.

“It’s a wonderful combination with my career, this ability to use yoga for anxiety and stress in counselling. We’ve been able to bring students into the studio – and every single one who has come has just loved it,” she said. Being able to not just build community but give back to the wider community as well has always been a primary focus for Stonewater. “We grew up here doing sports and feeling supported in the community and now my own kids are doing the same and we want everyone’s kids to feel that way so a lot of our community giving is focused on youth and sport,” she said. “This city is very important to us.” SPONSORED CONTENT

ince completing an extensive trade program at the age of 19, followed up with an 18-month apprenticeship with a dedicated and highly talented mentor, Denturist Quan Gifford, R.D. (Denturist) has been driven to provide the very best in dentures and advanced procedures. With more than 18 years of experience, she is still passionate about patient education and believes a big part of her job is to educate patients about their dentures so that they can make well-informed decisions. “Being upfront, honest and more importantly kind, while providing high standards in quality of materials and products is what drives us,” says Quan. “For me, service is also about being there for your patients without any added charges for extra time spent.” Since being licensed in 2000, Quan has ensured that each patient achieves their desired result.

t’s a family affair – and a calling of compassion – for the co-owners of the local Nurse Next Door home care services. Wendy J. Scott and sister-in-law Susan Scott came together to offer a wide range of oneon-one home care services under the Nurse Next Door banner in Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities. Headquartered with offices in the Royal City, the local office has customers of all ages, needs and requirements in the surrounding region – and their reputation has been growing by leaps and bounds. They have won a number of awards including New Westminster Record’s Readers’ Choice Award, Burnaby NOW’s Best of Burnaby Award for Best In-Home Care, a first-place win in the Favourite Home Health Services three years in a row for A-List New Westminster, and have been included in the 50 over 50 National Awards, and nominated for the 2017 Business of the Year by the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce. Considering the breadth and depth of experience both women bring from their backgrounds in health care and related fields, it’s perhaps no surprise that they’ve garnered so much recognition as they continue to grow their business. Wendy came to the business with first-hand knowledge of the benefits of home nursing care thanks to a lifelong career in healthcare. Susan’s entry into the world of home care services came from the personal experience of Wendy Scott (left) and Susan Scott struggling to (right), Co-Owners find reliable and respectful care for her ill mother. Having heard similar stories from other people, she knew that there was a growing need for the services that could be offered with Nurse Next Door. Wendy brings a wealth of experience with 45 years in the healthcare field. Her background includes roles in clinical and management/ leadership, coronary care, intensive care, emergency, and interventional cardiology. A lifetime learner, Wendy completed her diploma and baccalaureate degree in nursing and is a graduate of the master’s program in leadership and training from Royal Roads University. She has also completed the Advanced Project Management Program from Langara College and the Canadian Legal Nurse Consulting program. She is also a certified dementia practitioner. Susan too brings 45 years of experience with her to Nurse Next Door, coming from a background in the laboratory technology field and case management software, sales and marketing, project management, and customer service and support. Susan says she
led to experiences working with hospital and private labs involving sales, marketing, installation of equipment and applications support. After the lab, she went to support and sell case management software for cancer patients in Canada, the US and internationally. Both Wendy and Susan say that they are focused on driving and building the strong Nurse Next Door brand in the local area. With the ability to keep close attention on the New Westminster, Burnaby and Tri-Cities communities, the pair say that families here can be confident they are receiving the best in home care services for seniors and others in need.

C
reating the perfect floral arrangement requires a delicate balance of art and science – understanding the visual as much as the organic – but also insight into what a customer wants and needs. Translating that talent into a successful business requires a dedication to excellence, a wealth of experience and a desire to provide customers with the best. Luckily, that’s a mix of skills, focus and knowledge that Robin Schafer has in spades – and the success of his store, Bunches & Blooms Floral, is living proof of it. The company has moved into bigger digs in River Market not once but twice to keep pace with growing demand and earned numerous awards in the local business community, all in just four years since it first opened its doors. “We have a passion for design and flowers and it shows in our products,” he said. “No cookie cutter designs here; unusual flowers and products are the norm.” They’ve earned a reputation for being able to provide unique and creative custom designs – all backed with extensive industry experience and top-notch customer service – for individual clients but also for commercial projects and large-scale events.
It’s a very different experience than picking up a quick bouquet at a big box store or in the grocery store, says Schafer. “We’re adaptable to individual requirements,” he said. “Creating custom products tailored to individual clients is the norm.” It’s an approach that continues to pay off, as the store’s reputation and brand grows. “Our success is proof that people are looking for options when it comes to floral products,” he added. And meeting customer needs is a never-ending evolution. Schafer opened the shop armed with more than three decades of experience, but he continues to learn and innovate to offer his customers new choices – and to keep his business thriving. “From the beginning of my career I took an immediate interest in design, but it was the process of business that fascinated me,” he said. That passion helped him as he worked his way up from assistant to senior designer for a number of companies and eventually into his solo venture in Bunches & Blooms

Floral. “We’re always presenting new design trends and products with our own creative interpretations. … I am always looking for new products and ideas.” The shop offers an incredible array of possibilities, including exotic and tropical plants. And as time goes on, new items and ideas are constantly being considered. For example, they’ve recently launched a line of DIY terrarium kits in the store: customers decide what type of terrarium they want to create, and are then able to purchase the contents and get planting instructions. They also offer unique concepts such as the Bouquet of the Week Club. “It continues to grow – people love seeing a new bouquet

every week and the discounts they receive is a bonus,” he said. He says he’s excited to be part of the growing River Market community, and New Westminster and he’s been able to give back to the city in a number of ways. “I’ve supported the community almost from the time I opened my shop,” he said. “There have been countless local schools, daycare centres and animal care and rescue services that have been recipients of flowers or gift certificates to support their cause.” He notes that their primary focus now is supporting the Senior Services Society of BC, New West Pride and the Hyacks Football Tailgate Auction annual events.

PROFILES OF EXCELLENCE Queens Hotel
T
he Queens Hotel has been a landmark in the Queensborough neighbourhood since the 1950s and now, under new ownership, its future looks brighter than ever. Fully revitalized, this boutique-style pet-friendly hotel has 24 modern rooms that offers guests a uniquely comfortable stay – in a uniquely situated location. New owner Walloce Sohl says it’s been exciting to bring new life to the site, and customers have been responding with equal enthusiasm. “The rooms are beautiful, the beds are incredible, even our lobby gets so many comments,” he said. “And we’re right here in this spot away from the rush and the noise of SkyTrain or other businesses that you might get elsewhere, but close enough that it’s a quick hop to transit to get anywhere you want to go.” That mix of comfort and location is a winning blend that Sohl plans to capitalize on as word of the re-opened Queens Hotel spreads. For example, he’s planning to offer “cold weather” deals where commuters along the nearby route between the Queensborough Bridge and the Alex Fraser Bridge might opt to stay overnight rather than sit it out for hours in snow-clogged roads. “We’re right along that route that can often be so bad when the weather gets going,” he said. “Instead, why
not just pop in off the highway and get a good sleep?” The hotel is situated in close access to neighbouring businesses and restaurants, including a fully refurbished liquor store, a gym; in addition, the Starlight Casino is a five-minute drive away, as is a huge shopping district anchored by a Wal Mart Supercentre. Sohl notes that the surrounding residential area is in a period of unprecedented growth, with a large population boom expected in the coming years in the wake of new developments. “Many times, people who are in a condo or a townhouse, they don’t have the room when family or friends come to stay,” he said. “So if we’re right here, close to home, that’s an easy option for them.” Compared to hotels in the downtown Vancouver area, Queens Hotel is able to offer rooms at a fraction of the cost – and with free parking included. “It’s really astounding how much parking alone can add to the bill in some hotels,” he said. “It really
‘‘
We want to deliver exceptional value, each and every time someone stays with us. – Walloce Sohl
increases that cost and here we’re able to offer fully free parking for our guests.” Sohl says the hotel has enjoyed a “colourful” reputation in the past, when it had an on-site strip bar and was known for drawing an eclectic crowd. “Yes, it’s had some interesting years,” he said with a laugh. “It’s had a lot of history over 60 years. We’re really excited to be stepping in at this point and giving it a new direction for the future.” Sohl, who works in real estate development, says that the team at Queens Hotel is top-notch – and all focused on the same goal: giving each
‘‘
Bonnie Poon
customer the best visit possible. “We want to deliver exceptional value, each and every time someone stays with us,” he said. “We understand that a customer has a lot of options and we want them to come back here again and again, and to tell their friends about us.” That means ensuring clean, comfortable, modern rooms and amenities, but also going above and beyond, like having fresh-cut flowers from the garden during the blooming season or providing a small chocolate treat from the nearby Lindt store, in each room.

people, being greeted by a happy dog does actually help them feel more comfortable and at ease, so he’s part of the team in his own way.” The offices have changed location since they first opened in Columbia Square and though they retain the name they are now a short distance away on Carnarvon Street. It’s an ideal spot, said Hewitt: central and convenient. As a New Westminster resident himself, it was an easy decision to locate here in his hometown – and after all these years he can’t think of

imes have changed – and the city along with it – but what was important to Terry Hewitt when he opened his law office here nearly 30 years ago has remained the same: provide top-notch service to every client who comes in the door. Hewitt, a practising member of the Law Society of BC, opened Columbia Square Law Office in 1990 as the principal owner and president. The business has continued to grow, earning a rock solid reputation here in the Royal City and beyond. “I have always believed that a law practice should be run as a service-oriented business,” he said. “We really wanted to create that small neighbourhood law firm that offered a wide range of services and that was accessible to people. We have a street-level store front but also an environment where people feel comfortable. We strive to deliver professional, timely legal services at a reasonable cost.” And that’s just what he’s done for the last 27 years: the practice covers civil litigation, personal injury, family law and divorce, wills and estates, real estate transactions, corporate/business law and notarial services. They’re also open Monday to Saturday – a way to allow clients who can’t make it in during regular business hours to be able to access their services. Terry Hewitt This year, Hewitt was joined by fellow lawyer Darius Pazirandeh. “Having Darius on board has been a wonderful addition for us,” said Hewitt. “He is a very conscientious, solutionfocused litigator who gets results.” The pair are joined by a team of legal assistants – and one very friendly dog. “My blue heeler, Lincoln, spends most of his days here with me,” Hewitt said with a laugh. “He always gives a friendly greeting to my clients, who adore him.” He noted that for many people, coming to see a lawyer can be stressful – it may be prompted by unexpected life event, the loss of a family member, or some other challenging time. As well, most people have little familiarity with law in their day-to-day lives and can feel overwhelmed when coming to talk about an issue. “It can be stressful, it can feel overwhelming,” he said. “We work very hard to make everyone feel comfortable, to explain things properly, to make sure they feel heard. And for some
another place he’d rather be. “This has been a wonderful community to work in,” he said. “It’s changed a lot over the years, and it just continues to grow and flourish. Most of our clients come from New Westminster, though we have many from other communities, too. I love it here, and I’m grateful to my clients for their trust in me, and for being able to build a successful law practice here.”

– and beyond into neighbourhoods and other facilities – are opportunities to attend programs that emulate the experience of foundation classes in university arts program,” said Fiedrich. “What we hope to accomplish is creating a space where people come with curiosity and leave with inspiration to continue making and living creative lives.” The same philosophy holds true on the heritage side. “New Westminster has a rich history and a vast cultural demographic that we want everyone to experience and to be able to take something positive away from that experience,”

ifferent but complementary. Separate but together. Distinct but intertwined. When it comes to the arts and heritage in the City of New Westminster, there are countless ways in which these two unique aspects of life overlap. Though officially under their own unique banners, the City’s Arts Programmer Kristina Fiedrich and Heritage Programmer Lindsey Canning say their work often finds them collaborating thanks to their co-location in the City’s newest civic facility, Anvil Centre. “The two departments are quite different and have different mandates and program structures,” notes Fiedrich. “But more recently we have started to develop interdisciplinary programs. There are so many overlaps and potential for collaborative programs.” Canning agrees, and says that having a connected home base in Anvil Centre has allowed for new opportunities. “I think Kristina and I quickly realized that there were so many ways that arts and heritage could support each other, and it’s blossomed into a very natural collaboration. The way I see it, arts and heritage go hand in hand,” said Canning. Many artists are interested in local archival information, for example, and heritage programs can teach concepts through artistic endeavours. “Combining arts with heritage not only allows us to deliver to a wider audience but also makes history new City’s Arts Programmer Kristina and exciting Fiedrich and Heritage Programmer again,” Lindsey Canning Canning added. Through these departments the City offers a wide range of ways for citizens of all ages to interact with arts, culture, heritage and history – and both women say that’s a positive for the community and for individuals. And servicing such a diverse population means being careful to consider what’s out there, who is looking and what they’re looking for. “It really means gauging what the community wants, while not taking away audiences from local businesses, or offering programs that are similar to others already available,” said Fiedrich. “Our programs are tailored for people already engaged in creative pursuits, but also accessible enough to pique the interest of those who have never taken an art class,” she noted. That involves having a full roster of artists in the faculty, a diverse range of programs, and finding unique collaborations in the community. “What we are trying to create here at Anvil Centre
said Canning. “Our programs are designed to be fun and engaging and there is always something new to see, learn and participate in.” Anvil Centre features 18,000 square feet of dedicated event, conference and programming space, a 361-seat theatre, studios, meeting rooms and more; the centre is home to New Media Gallery, the City’s Museum and Archives and more. “People are getting to know us and hearing a bit more about what we do and what we offer,” said Fiedrich. “Sign up for one of our classes or sign up for our monthly newsletter and keep in the know about we’re doing here.” SPONSORED CONTENT

New Westminster, Burnaby and Tri-Cities Operation Red Nose hits the road this Friday, Nov. 24 and will provide rides by donation to anyone who calls between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. every Friday and Saturday night up to and including NewYear’s Eve, Sunday, Dec. 31.

Donations collected are given to the local KidSport chapter, a charity that gives kids in need the money to cover registration fees and/ or equipment needed to play organized sports.

Of course, how many people are picked up in one night – and from where – depends on how many volunteers Operation Red Nose can recruit,Wilson added.

Maureen Arvanitidis is stepping down after more than a decade at the helm of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society. Arvanitidis was the group’s president for 18 years, but credited the directors and society members for its successes. “The most recent accomplishment is, of course, the creation of the Heritage Conservation Area for
Queen’s Park, with our society members and directors working in conjunction with the residents of Queen’s Park and, of course, the staff and council in New Westminster,” she wrote in an email to the Record. “It is our hope that other resident groups will pursue a conservation area in their respective neighbourhoods – and the heritage preservation society is willing to provide assistance.” Arvanitidis said New Westminster is home to the oldest operating homes tour in Western Canada, a
16TH SEASO N
tour that’s raised awareness about the city and beyond. Arvanitidis will be continuing as past president and will still be involved in heritage in New West, but is thrilled that Queen’s Park resident Steve North has taken on the role as the society’s new president. “I am not going to change the heritage world, but I am hoping we can increase our presence in New Westminster,” he recently told city council. “As you know, we are primarily known for the Heritage Homes tour in Continued on page 42

This is it, girls hoop coach says DougWoodward plans on retiring after 2017/18 By Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
For a swan song, New Westminster Secondary’s Doug Woodward would like nothing better than to leave after extending the senior girls basketball season into March. After 45 years of teaching and coaching, the New West resident says this one will most definitely be his last. “This is my last season. I just came in one day last week and said ‘That’s it,’”Woodward said, matter-of-factly. “I figured you have to make a decision, and that was it.” Having heard the decadesold promises to replace ancient NWSS,Woodward once looked forward to teach in a new building – about 15 years ago. “We were told to move out of the (Massey athletic) office back in 2002, that they were going to tear down the Massey gym soon. Here it is, 2017, and I’m still in my office.” A new school is apparently on its way for 2020; but one of the longest-serving high school coaches in the province will be enjoying retirement by then. Although he’s thrown around talk of hanging up the whistle as often as some furniture stores use ‘Going out of business’ as an annual tag line, this time Woodward said it’s for real. One reason to believe him is that this year’s team is Grade 12-heavy. Nine of 11 players are in their final high school season. Expectations are also not only high, but he felt it also would be fitting to move on after most of his players graduate. Missing the B.C.s last year serves as a motivation for this year’s ambitions. Leaders like Sarah Forgie, Mia Obrovac and Devon Strome are key players on this year’s lineup, one that will take to the court this weekend at a controlled scrimmage tournament in Surrey. On Monday, teams can officially play games, and New West has its first test at McNair.They host Gleneagle on Tuesday for a 5:15 p.m. exhibition game. “We have a good group, but we have to get more motivated,” he said. “If we pick it up a little bit and work a little harder, we can be in the (top-eight) mix.”

Sidhu sets path for Hyacks to semis
NewWest running back scores pair of touchdowns in difficult win over Mount Douglas By Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Big games are nothing new for the New Westminster Hyacks’ Sammy Sidhu. The Grade 12 running back gave a gridiron clinic on how to create prairie-like open space against a stingy defence, leading his senior AAA football team past the Mount Douglas Rams 19-14 Friday at Mercer Stadium. The win catapulted the Hyacks into Saturday’s Subway Bowl semifinals at B.C. Place (5 p.m.), where they will face South Delta for the second time in three weeks. Sidhu, who finished with 172 yards on 16 carries, was a big part of a polished New West effort on both sides of the ball. While the offence struck for a few big plays, its defence matched Mount Doug’s impressive offensive line and kept star quarterback Gideone Kremler on his toes most of the game. From the outset, the two teams locked formations as defence trumped offence over the first half. Then Sidhu found a hole, and another, as the No. 1-ranked Hyacks built a lead through hard work and quick, darting dashes. “The linemen always create good blocks and big holes for me,” said Sidhu after the game. “It’s
just easy when they give me big holes to run through. ... I was really pumped to play. It was another game at Mercer for our fans.” For the last home date of 2017, Hyack fans went home happy. A provincial wrestling medallist, the five-foot-10 Sidhu broke a scoreless tie with a seven-yard sprint on a third-and-four play with 1:28 left in the second

quarter. He churned it up a notch in the second half, breaking free on a 74-yard dash up the middle with four minutes left in the third frame to again bust a stalemate – this time making it 13-7. It came after the Rams tied it with a long and penalty-assisted drive just before halftime, where Kremler scrambled in on a fouryard touchdown run. The decisive points came with 3:28 left in the third frame, when Lucas Sabau pulled off a lengthy
run of his own, sprinting 70 yards to make it 19-7 with a quarter left. Mount Doug didn’t fold, however, and pulled within five points on a 20-yard passing play with lots of time remaining. New West’s defence protected the lead the rest of the way. New West’s first score was a product of a Taran Birdi interception and return, where the Grade 10 safety bottled up a Kremler pass at the Rams’ 44-yard line and brought it inside the 15. “That first touchdown was all because of (Birdi’s) interception,” noted Hyacks coach Farhan Lalji. “He was able to get it back deep, and we were able to get a touchdown out of it. ... Our offence wasn’t able to sustain a drive before that in the first quarter.” A few minutes earlier, New West was on the verge of opening the scoring when a Mount Doug player intercepted a Kinsale Philip pass at the Rams’ own one-yard line early in the second quarter. Sidhu would later rectify that, thanks to Birdi’s timely grab. “With Sammy you know what you’re going to get,” Lalji said. “Coaches from (University of) Guelph were here watching him, but he didn’t know it. He gives you a consistent effort, a consistent performance. ...We have explosive players, whether it’s Sammy, Se-
bastien (Reid), Broxx (Comia) or Lucas (Sabau) and Kinsale (Philiip).We have a lot of explosive players, and that’s a luxury.” New West now faces South Delta, a team they manhandled 63-16 on Nov. 3. “The first thing I told the boys in the room was ‘This is playoff football.This is big boy football.’ All the other games in the regular season are out the window,” noted Lalji. “Everybody is going to fight tooth-and-nail because their (football) lives are on the line.” Sidhu said getting the first win out of the way, and continuing the momentum they had built up over an undefeated regular season, should only help. “We still have lots of room for improvement, that’s why we practise,” said Sidhu. “We’ve got to work on a lot of things that we didn’t execute as well as we wanted at the start.We can get better.” On Tuesday, the B.C. all-star teams were announced and New West had four chosen: offensive lineman Isaiah James, wide receiver Sebastien Reid, defensive linemanYanni Angelopolous, and Sidhu at linebacker. Sidhu and tight end Finn Stark were given BCSSFA scholarship awards of $1,000 each, based on academic, football and community service.

OBITUARIES CAUNT, Thomas Richard June 15, 1937 - November 9, 2017 We are sad to announce the loss of our much-loved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Richard passed away peacefully at St. Michael’s Hospice, Burnaby, with his family gathered around him. After a successful battle with cancer in 2015, he endured a 2-year decline with side effects from treatment, culminating in several small strokes. Richard retired from 34 years of a teaching career to devote time to his family to whom he was an example of love, respect, generosity and kindness. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Margaret (Grieve), 4 married children and 5 grandchildren. Also, his sister Eleanor Brook of Silverdale, WA, USA., 1 niece and 1 nephew. Our thanks to Dr. Paletta at RCH and the wonderful caregivers at St. Michael’s. There will be no formal service at Richard’s request. A family celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in his memory to: BC Cancer Foundation, 150 - 686 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1.

HORAN, Ward Douglas August 9, 1954 to November 9, 2017 Ward passed away peacefully at VGH with his family by his side. He was 63. Ward was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, the second child of Hal and Sue Horan who have both predeceased him. After moving several times, the family settled in North Vancouver when Ward was 13. He attended Argyle Secondary School in Lynn Valley and played hockey at the North Shore Winter Club. After graduating, Ward went to SFU and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. In his twenties, Ward hired on with the CN Railroad and made a career as an engineer. He worked for 35 years on the trains at a job he loved. Ward lived in Kamloops and Burnaby, before settling 7 years ago on the Quay in New Westminster. From his apartment he could see and hear the trains go by several times a day. After retiring Ward spent his summers at his cabin on Beaver Lake in the Okanagan. There he liked to fish and to dog sit for friends and family. Coming from a large family, over the years, Ward enjoyed many good times at special occasions. He always had an invite and he brought the best desserts. And wherever he lived he would find a local, favorite Pub for a beer and a game of Keno. At the Paddlewheeler, Oliver Twist and Woody’s he made good friends who were like a second family to him. Ward was a generous person who was always happy to help a relative or friend. He will be greatly missed by his fours sisters, Wanda (Lloyd) Manchester, Wynn (Dwayne) Runka, Catherine (Dana Huggard) Horan, Caryl Horan and brother Clay (Janice) Horan. And by his 11 nieces and nephews, Brooke, Lee (Jadie), Ashley (Dustin), Brett (Colleen), Colin (Xuan), Danielle (Matthew), Craig, Rachel (Spencer), Courtney, Cate and Cassidy (Abe). And by his 11 great nieces and nephews, his aunts, uncles, cousins and by all his friends. Ward loved dogs; in lieu of flowers please donate to the SPCA. A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held for Ward on December 10th from 12:00 to 4:00 PM at the Greentree Village Community Centre, 4295 Garden Grove Dr, Burnaby, BC.
FLEMING, John Matthew It is with great sorrow that we announce John’s passing on October 30, 2017. John was predeceased by his father, John S. Fleming and leaves behind his loving mother, Elsie, sisters Cathy (Danny), and Brenda (Edward), as well as his adored niece and nephew, Kaylee and Seth. Cousins Sharon, John, and Susan held a special place in his heart, as did family in Kamloops and Scotland. A remembrance service will be held on December 2, 2017 at 1:00pm at Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel, 219 6th Street, New Westminster. Donations in his memory may be made to the Diabetes Society, or charity of your choice. John, you were truly loved. Mizpah.
