City declares day to remember the Holocaust Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
NewWestminster will declare Jan. 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day and will light up Anvil Centre in yellow. Lizz Kelly, a member of the city’s multiculturalism advisory committee, presented a motion that
the city commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, which is the anniversary of the liberation of the largest Nazi concentration and death camp, AushwitzBirkenau. “We want to make sure no one forgets the six million Jewish lives who were victims of the atrocities
carried out by the Nazi regime and its collaborators,” she told council Monday. “It’s more important now than ever that the lessons learned, the horrors of the Holocaust, remain present in the public consciousness so that they aren’t ever repeated.” As a NewWest resident who has witnessed anti-Se-

mitic incidents in the past few years, Kelly said it’s an important day to recognize.When she took the motion to the committee, she said it was her intent that the city would honour this day every year. Rabbi Jonathan Infeld of Congregation Beth Israel urged the City of New Westminster to declare Jan.
27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. He said one of the reasons he became a rabbi was his family’s history. “My entire family, outside of just my parents, were killed in the Holocaust. My parents were Holocaust survivors. My mother escaped in 1938 from Germany and my
father survived five years – one year at the Krawkow ghetto and four years of concentration camps,” he told council Monday night. “I believe that the lesson of the Holocaust is really something that is not only for the Jewish community but, quite frankly, for the entire world.” Continued on page 3

PETPROFILE
OF THE WEEK
Wren (APPROX6YEARSOLD)
Scotch & Soda
Wren is a sweet little tuxedo gal who came in as a stray. Wren is gentle and friendly with our staff and volunteers, but she is a bit nervous at first. Wren is approx 6 years old, has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, defleaed and dewormed, and tested negative for FeLV & FIV. Her adoption fee is $176.
ZEBRA FINCHES
These little cuties came to us as their owner became ill and could no longer care for them. They are a bonded pair and will only be adopted together. Zebra finches are small birds that are active and fun to watch. Although small, the zebra finch needs a large cage for flight. They do chirp and peep but many people find them enjoyable to listen to, and not overly noisy. Their adoption fee is $33/pair.

CHRISSIE (APPROX 1 YEAR OLD)
TED AND ALEXIS
Chrissie is a gorgeous white & brown English spot rabbit. We think Chrissie would do best in a rabbit savvy, adult only home. Chrissie is approximately 1 year old and has been vaccinated for RHDV2, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $50.
Ted and Alexis are from our Schitt’s Creek group of cats & kittens. They were trapped on a construction site in June, along with their moms. Ted is the handsome grey kitty and Alexis is the beautiful brown tabby. These kittens need loving, patient, and understanding homes without a lot of hustle and bustle. We will be placing these kittens in homes without children. Cats like these can often do well with friendly, confident feline friends, but are usually too nervous to see dogs as friend, not foe. They have been vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV & FIV, and flea & worm treated. Their adoption fee is $264/pair.

City HOUSING
Court backs city’s renovictions bylaw Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The Supreme Court of Canada has backed the city’s efforts to deter renovictions. According to a press release from the City of New Westminster, the Supreme Court of Canada informed the city on Dec. 9 that it had dismissed an application for leave to appeal the city’s rental units bylaw amendment.That decision followed a previous ruling by the BC Court of Appeal, which upheld the city’s right to adopt the bylaw amendment to deter the practice of renovictions and to help preserve affordable rental housing. “Thank you to the Supreme Court of Canada for dismissing the leave for appeal and confirming once again our right to use our powers to take bold actions to protect tenants,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in the press release. “The housing crisis is long from over, and we are committed to working to ensure housing affordability and rental stock are available to anyone who needs it.” In April, the British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled the City of New Westminster had the right to adopt a bylaw amendment to deter the practice of renovictions and to help preserve affordable rental housing. In response to concerns about the increasing number of renovictions tak-

ing place in New West, the city amended its business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw to add new regulations to restrict evictions, such as when they can be considered, provisions for temporary accommodations for tenants in cases when evictions are deemed necessary, provisions to prohibit increases in rents after renovations are done, punishments for contra-
vening the bylaw, and occasions when exemptions would be considered. In addition to revoking the business licences of multi-family rental property owners who don’t comply with the bylaw, the city established fines of $500 and $1,000 for evicting tenants without permits, evicting without relocating tenants, failing to provide a relocation agreement or providing relocation doc-
umentation and implementing an excessive rent increase. A landlord, 1193652 B.C. Ltd., argued the bylaw was beyond the city’s authority in the Community Charter. Since the B.C. Court of Appeal’s ruling, the provincial government made changes to the Residential Tenancy Act that help protect tenants against renovictions throughout
the province.That action rendered New Westminster’s bylaw amendment (Part 6 of the Rental Units Bylaw) inoperable, so, in November, the city repealed the section of the bylaw that was no longer necessary. “I’m proud to work for and represent a city that fights for its most vulnerable residents,” said Emilie Adin, the city’s director of climate action, planning
and development. “I’ve seen our bylaw amendment working as intended to keep residents in their homes. I am so pleased that the Supreme Court of Canada agrees with the important work we’re doing.” For more information about the city’s efforts to protect tenants, go to www.newwestcity.ca/ tenants.
‘I think that this is an incredibly important lesson’
Continued from page 1 Infeld said his father grew up in a city that was a little over one-third Jewish; between 1939 and 1941, he said one-third of that city’s population disappeared, with almost 90% of those people being killed. “I think that this is an incredibly important lesson for us to teach not only all
of the residents of the city specifically, but specifically the children,” he said. “I highly encourage New West to take on Holocaust Remembrance Day as an opportunity to teach and an opportunity to learn.” NewWest resident Deborah Folka called on the city to support a declaration of International Holo-
caust Remembrance Day. “It’s long overdue,” she said. “It was 2005 that the UN General Assembly brought in International Holocaust Remembrance Day. But it was only 2020 that the City ofVancouver adopted it and illuminated its city hall with yellow lights. I would just like to, as a lifelong resident of
NewWestminster, a business owner, a homeowner and a Jew, encourage you to do the same.” In addition to the Jan. 27 declaration, council referred the issue to the city’s social issues committee to create a process around important days and months that should be recognized every year.
“This is something that we want to acknowledge and recognize every year,” said Coun. Nadine Nakagawa of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Coun. Chinu Das, chair of the multiculturalism advisory committee, said the city should have a strategy that acknowledges days
and events that need to celebrated or commemorated throughout the year. “We need to build an understanding in this community of all the significant cultural days, events, our joys and our pains,” she said. “That takes all sorts of different types of recognition.”

Operation Popcorn kicked off its 30th annual event with a popcorn delivery to staff at Royal Columbian Hospital. New Westminster city councillor Chuck Puchmayr, a liver transplant recipient, was part of a team that recently visited the hospital to deliver festive tins of popcorn – and thanks. “This event is so important as it allows critical care workers to meet the patients and donors in a post-traumatic, recovered light and hear their moving stories,” he said. “The health-care participants commented on how much they look forward to this annual event and that they often talk about the experience for months after.”
Saying thanks: Breanne Kelly and Carmen Juba, registered nurses at Royal Columbian Hospital, and Sean Tinney, a manager with the operating room post-anesthesia care unit, joined kidney donor Ashley Hiebert and liver recipient Chuck Puchmayr at RCH when Operation Popcorn made a recent visit to the hospital.

During the annual event, volunteers deliver popcorn to staff in hospital intensive care units, emergency departments and operating rooms across the province as a reminder to hospital staff of the lives that have been
saved through their work. What started as a small campaign that visited a few hospitals, Operation Popcorn now involves 85 volunteers and popcorn deliveries to 26 hospitals across B.C. each year.

City Fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty gets city support Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Young and old gathered in council chambers Monday night to urge the city to endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Following a Candles4Climate vigil that was held in honour of climate-change victims who perished during the summer’s heat wave, eight local residents, including high school and university students and teachers, urged city council to endorse a moratorium on new fossil fuel development. “Young and old – all here to make a collective effort in fighting for the sake of the environment,” said Isabella Graham, a Grade 12 student at NewWestminster Secondary School. “This is
your chance to do the right thing and take a step alongside us to fight this climate crisis by passing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty before it’s too late.” Liam Mackay, a climate science student at Simon Fraser University, said statistics indicate about 60% of young people between 16 and 25 are worried about climate change; 56% of young people think humanity is doomed. “That’s a pretty frightening number; to know about half the people my age think humanity doesn’t have hope, that’s pretty scary,” he said. “At the same time, many believe that it’s possible to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Actions can be taken, but they need to be taken now and they need to come from those in government.”
Karen Crosby, a teacher and counsellor at NWSS, presented council with a petition signed by more than 140 people. “When you endorse this treaty, you are saying to our B.C. and to our federal governments they need to listen to us and they need to take stronger climate action, not in five years, not in 10 years but now because we can’t wait any longer as we have seen from the weather disruption in our province in the last year,” she said. Organizers of Monday night’s vigil on the steps of city hall said statistics show that 595 people in B.C. died in this summer’s heatdome event, where temperatures reached a 49.6 Celsius. Of those deaths, 28 occurred in NewWestminster. Maureen Curran said the biggest uphill battle
right now is convincing Canada to take real action on the production and use of fossil fuels. “We know here in B.C. that things have been absolutely tragic the last few months, and this is happening all around the world; it’s not just here. We really cannot afford to stay on this path,” she said. “The good part is that there are other options. We know that people like you have already started to make those changes, and that if we work together, we can do better.” The Fossil Fuel NonProliferation Treaty includes three components: immediately banning expansions or new fossil fuel projects; sensibly and fairly phasing out existing fossil fuel production; and providing a just transition that protects workers and communities.
Lighting a flame: Residents held a vigil outside city hall Monday night to remember those who died during the heat dome in B.C. this past summer. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
On Monday night, council unanimously supported Coun. Nadine Nakagawa’s motion to endorse the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and to write to the city’s federal and provincial politicians about the treaty.The motion also asks the Lower Mainland
Local Government Association to formally endorse the call for the treaty and to send its motion to the Union of B.C. Municipalities for its endorsement. “The fact of the matter is that the use of fossil fuels is counter to our ability to live on this planet,” Nakagawa said.

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Many parents are vaccine hesitant
First, some good news to share as we have crossed the 40% threshold when it comes to registering children aged five to 11 to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Now, some bad news: we are only at 40% and the pace of new registrations is sluggish. There are about 350,000 children in this age cohort in B.C. As of the end of last week, a little more than 140,000 of them had registered to be vaccinated. However, while we reached the 100,000 mark within just a few days after Health Canada gave the green light for this age group to be vaccinated in late November, it has been a slow grind to get the numbers up since then. For example, in the first 10 days of this month, just 20,500 kids were registered.That is 2,000 registrations a day. While registrations have slowed, the number of kids actually getting the jab is growing steadily, now reaching more than 5,000 a day (they totalled about 60,000 heading into this week).The way the program works is thus: a child is registered, then receives an appointment and then gets vaccinated when that day comes due. You can see the problem that potentially lies ahead. Unless registrations dramatically pick up, the number of those actually vaccinated will soon catch up, and we will hit a bit of a wall. A geographic breakdown of those registered shows that, as we saw in older age groups, there is a greater “buy-in” to the vaccination program in urban areas compared to rural ones.The highest registration rates among the health authorities are in Vancouver Coastal Health (52.5%) and Vancouver Island (47%). Northern Health (24%)
and Interior Health (32%) both have low vaccination rates. About 80,000 kids in this age cohort reside in these two giant health regions and fewer than 25,000 have registered to be vaccinated. Fraser Health has seen the most registrations (more than 55,000) but its rate is just 38% because it is by far the most populous of all the health authorities. There seems to a higher level of vaccine hesitancy among parents when it comes to this age group. Obviously, tens of thousands of parents who are fully vaccinated have yet to register their kids to follow suit. An Angus Reid poll back in October showed B.C. would likely get to the situation in which it now finds itself when it comes to vaccinating kids. That poll suggested 20% of parents would “wait” an undetermined amount of time before getting their children vaccinated while about 10% were not sure. About half said they would act quickly to get their kids the jab. A combination of factors may convince hesitant parents to sign up. First, there is a steady accumulation of “real world” data in the U.S., which got started on vaccinating millions of youngsters earlier than Canada did. It is showing positive results there. Second, the Omicron variant of concern may sweep through the country (as it is threatening to do around the world) and that may inject a new element of worry into the conversation. In the days and weeks ahead, look for B.C. health officials to redouble their efforts to convince hesitant parents to get their kids registered and vaccinated. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.
Topic: Should a fee be charged for FOI requests? “Why should the public pay for the cost of providing the information for an individual’s private use?”
“So it’s no longer ‘freedom of information’ but rather, ‘pay for information in the hopes that you won’t actually want to pay.’”

Man caught carrying scythe
A man arrested in a dark alley near an area known to be frequented by sex workers was charged with carrying a concealed weapon after police discovered he was carrying a razor sharp scythe with the words “Feeling lucky? B**ch” inscribed on the blade. At about 3 a.m. on March 13, a woman spotted a police officer and nodded at him discreetly in the direction of the alley just north of Sixth Avenue to draw attention to the man. Besides the 20-inch blade, police found the 29-year-old man was also carrying a red mask.

City shouldn’t move the Fitness NewWest programs
Editor: I am the second generation to use the Fitness New West programs at Centennial Community Centre. My mother put myself and my brother in the child-minding service and then into the preschool program. She would then take a fitness class while we were in these programs. I have taken many Fitness New West classes through the years and now have children of my own and have done the same thing as my mother. My three-year-old attends the Discovery Play program, and my one-year-old goes to child-minding while I do cycle. There are many other parents (not just moms) taking these classes with me who have their children in these programs as well. If the Fitness New West classes get changed to other locations, many of us then won’t be able to attend. For myself, I don’t drive during the week, so dropping off my children at multiple locations so I can take 30 minutes or an hour to exercise and take care of myself is not possible.
I have in the past used the gym at Canada Games Pool, and the difference between taking a class and just using the equipment on my own time is huge. The many different programs offered bring our community together as well as offering a fantastic way to keep healthy and get some exercise. Many people are regulars, and not only do we get to know each other, but our children benefit by seeing each other regularly and gain social interaction skills. Putting gym equipment into these areas would not only take that away but also take away an amazing and ideal setup for the instructors that run these classes. Massey Theatre has two gyms, plus three other large spaces in the basement that, if they are not being used, would be ideal for this situation. Why not put the equipment there and set up a program? It would create a few jobs and also allow a great use of the space for temporary use while we wait for the new pool to be finished. The fact that this was all decided behind closed doors and not communicated with our community shows that they knew the mass majority of the community would be opposed to this.

City Policing concerns call 2022 budget into question Council split on approving police budget, but 4-2 vote sees plans move ahead for 4.4% tax increase Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The NewWestminster Police Department’s budget continues to throw a wrench into the city’s budget deliberations. Last year, council was on track to approving the city’s 2021 budget in December, when council sent it back to the police board and asked it to submit a police budget that incorporated a 0% increase. After some back and forth between council and the police board, council approved a 2021 budget that included the requested increase to the NWPD, thus avoiding the need to possibly go a dispute mechanism with the province. At Monday’s meeting, some concerns were once again raised about the police department’s budget. In a 4-2 vote, council instructed staff to convert the draft 2022 to 2026 financial plan into a budget that reflects a 4.4% property tax increase for 2022
and a $170.7-million capital budget for 2022. Councillors Chinu Das, Patrick Johnstone, Jaimie McEvoy and Chuck Puchmayr supported the budget, while Acting Mayor Mary Trentadue and Coun. Nadine Nakagawa voted against the staff recommendation. (Mayor Jonathan Cote was not at the meeting.) “I am in a very awkward position of not feeling like I can actually support this budget,”Trentadue said. “It’s purely because of my not feeling supportive of the police budget.” Trentadue said she was frustrated and disappointed that city council didn’t have an opportunity to discuss and collaborate on the police budget earlier in the process. “I think it’s important that we try and maintain a better dialogue and collaboration with the police board so that we can get to a place where all of us can support this,” she said. “But in my mind, this is a
very similar budget for the police board as last year, and I am just unable to support it.” BUDGET PROCESS QUESTIONED In November, the police board approved a 2022 provisional operating budget for the police department that requested a net increase of $602,000 (2.36%) over its 2021 budget. A report to the police board said the NWPD’s $26.1-million budget includes $860,000 for contractual salary increases for police officers and civilian staff, increases for E-Comm services and office and administrative services required to complete an operational review of the department. “I did want to highlight that we did have a meeting with the board and council,” Chief Const. Dave Jansen told council Monday night. “We went through our whole budget on Nov. 4, which I don’t

She said it also includes funding to address emerging priorities, including COVID response, extreme weather, the overdose crisis and homelessness. The 4.4% property tax increase includes 2.7% ($2.6 million) for fixed costs and salary increases, 1.6% ($1.5 million) for increases to insurance premiums, and 0.8% ($0.8 million) for service enhancements. The city’s proposed $170.7-million capital budget includes funds for a wide variety of initiatives, including the təməsew̓ txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre, a new Queensborough substation and distribution grid, and greenway projects. On Nov. 15, council approved 2022 utility rates that include a 7% increase for sewer, a 7% increase for water, a 2.8% increase for electrical and a 14.5% increase for solid waste.
City adopts use of Indigenous land acknowledgement NewWestminster city council now begins its meetings with a land acknowledgement. At its Oct. 18 meeting, council supported a motion to adopt the practice of using an Indigenous land acknowledgement at formal city gatherings.The land acknowledgement will also be printed on publicly available city documents, agendas and web-
based media. The acknowledgement states: “We recognize and respect that NewWestminster is on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Halkomelem speaking Peoples.We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As a city, we are learning and building relationships with the people whose
lands we are on.” According to a city staff report, NewWestminster is settled on the unceded and unsurrendered land of several Halkomelemspeaking Nations, and the city recognizes that its knowledge of these Nations is limited and their territories include areas far beyond the city’s boundaries. “Council is committed
to improving the city’s understanding of these Nations’ interests through the development of respectful and reciprocal relationships,” said the report. “Part of this process aspires to identify an acknowledgement that is inclusive of their multiple interests to this land.” Staff say this process is taking time but recommended the city adopt a
practice of acknowledging that First Nations continue to live here and have been present since time immemorial. According to staff, the land acknowledgement ap-
proved by council is considered an interim measure and is expected to evolve as the city build relationships with local First Nations. – Theresa McManus

City Council supports Indigenous housing in Queensborough Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
An Indigenous housing project in Queensborough and bylaws aimed at helping the city to better respond to a variety of crises and emergencies have received city council’s stamp of approval. Both items were part of a public hearing on Nov. 6, along with a supportive housing project on Sixth Street that was reported in last week’s Record. Following the public hearing, council supported a 58-unit long-term affordable housing project on city-owned land on Fenton Street in Queensborough. Two residents voiced concerns the project is proposed in an area that doesn’t have adequate infrastructure to support a project of that density.
“We have open ditches dents and pedestrians,” he on both sides of the street said. “Pedestrians are not right now.

Jaimie McEvoy to have the city begin exploring the possibility of an accessibility network between key sites in Queensborough. CRISIS RESPONSE In addition to the two housing projects, last week’s public hearing also dealt with citywide crisis response bylaws that would allow the city to respond more rapidly to projects that address an identified emergency or crisis.This would be done by “pre-approving” spe-
cific land uses on publicly owned/leased land that could respond to emergency situations. Future projects that meet all of the city’s criteria wouldn’t need to go through a rezoning process, but they would still be subject to other city approvals. The crisis response bylaw amendments would be limited to the following criteria: the property or properties must be owned or under long-term lease by the city, BC Housing or another public agency; the projects must be funded by a government agency; and the projects must be operated by a non-profit society or a public agency. Additionally, the projects must address needs identified through a B.C. public health emergency declaration, a B.C. state of emergency declaration, or be a
crisis affecting the Metro Vancouver region that’s publicly recognized by multiple municipalities, including NewWest. Queen’s Park resident David Brett supported the Sixth Street project but opposed “this hurry-up process” that allows the city to jump at whatever provincial opportunity or grant arises. If anything, he said “more rigorous public consultation” is required in order to get community buy-in for projects. “A key success factor is neighbourhood acceptance of them, and, if they are seen to be rushed through, neighbourhood acceptance and community acceptance will go down, not up,” he said. “I don’t think shortening the process is necessarily helping the marginalized people it purports to help.”

Deli hosts fundraiser for Guatemalan animals Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Scones will be on the menu at a NewWest deli this weekend in an effort to raise money to feed dogs in Guatemala. Leona Green, co-owner of the Greens and Beans Deli in Sapperton, regularly hosts fundraisers for various charitable causes. Last weekend, she hosted a Soup for Socks fundraiser to collect socks for a variety of local groups, including the Lookout Housing and Health Society the Purpose Society. This Sunday, Green will once again be raising money to buy dog food for an animal shelter in Guatemala. “They are having a tough time down at the shelter,” she said. “Peo-
ple aren’t going there to visit. It’s usually the tourists who feed the dogs. The people there don’t have the money to buy dog food and stuff, especially now. And dog food doubled in price over COVID because they are not getting the deliveries into Guatemala. So it’s really bad. I’m really happy that I will be able to help them.” It’s an organization that Green, with the help of her customers, has supported in the past. She’ll be heading to Guatemala over Christmas to spend time with fellow NewWest residents (and animal lovers) LorrieWilliams and Angela Kerslake, who will also be volunteering at the animal shelter. Instead of soup, Green will be baking up scones
on Sunday, Dec. 19 to raise money for dog food for the shelter. It will be taking place from 9 a.m. to noon on a first-come, firstserved basis; for a donation, customers will get six scones. (Scone flavours are still to be determined and will be posted on the Eat NewWest page on Facebook.) Green regularly heads to the deli on Sundays (when it’s closed) to bake for special scone sales.They’re quickly snapped up when she posts info about the sales online and takes scone orders. “I can do 100 in an hour,” she said. “So, if I get an order for 600, I start at 3 a.m. because it will be six hours till it’s pickup time. I usually try to pay attention and stop it at 400 or 500. One day I just

didn’t; I forget all about it and by the time I looked there was 800.” The scone sales have helped Greens and Beans pay the rent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its food trucks, which deliver to a route of commercial areas, have remained open and the deli has been open for takeout. “Business wise, it’s been super busy,” Green said. “We only did takeout till about two months ago, and then I finally put the tables back out and people are coming in.” When the pandemic hit, Green supported the community by cooking about 8,000 bowls of soup for seniors. In the summer, she held scone fundraisers to support victims of the wildfires. In other news, Greens

Christmas in New West Royal City Youth Ballet’s Nutcracker returns to stage After a year away from the lighted stage, surely there couldn’t be a better show to use as a springboard to announce to the world that they’re back. The Royal CityYouth Ballet will offer a limited run of performances of The Nutcracker Dec. 18 and 19 at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. The shows come after the troupe was forced into a one-year pause and will include more than a dozen cast members from New West – many of whom will be making their onstage debuts. New West dancers taking part include: Abby Beleutz, Addison Gosselin, Elena Banares, Elena Skinner, Elise Skinner, Estelle Meconse, Lau-
ren Gosselin, Nicholas Schwartz, Emily Schwartz, Megan Schwartz, Amie Sokugawa, Lia Sokugawa and Sydney Schiebler. The local contingent has been cast in roles both big and small: Reindeer and Buffoons, all the way through to Flower and Snowflake pointe roles. Three New West and Burnaby dance studios – Royal Principal Ballet Academy, HZ Ballet Classique and Dance Collective – will also be a part of the teamwork that makes the dream work. Collectively, they’ll pirouette and jeté their way through a storyline that’s a holiday essential complete with the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Snow King and Queen, duelling mice and,

New Leaf Clubhouse members have transformed their old clunker of a van into a festive fundraiser on wheels. New Leaf Clubhouse is currently raising money to replace the 17-year-old vehicle that transports members living with mental health issues to community outings such as the Greater Vancouver Zoo, Burnaby Village Museum, Dr. SunYat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, as well as to their baseball and floor hockey games against other clubhouses. Fraserside Community Services employees also rely on the van to pick up supplies and groceries for

On his final day, he was surrounded by his wife and children, who he adored more than anything else in the world. Leo’s greatest achievement was being the best husband, father, and papa. He is survived by his true soul mate, Marilynn, three daughters, Kimberley (Darren), Stacey, Niki (Brett), grandchildren, Markus, Matteo, Maddox, Gracie and grand pups, Ryder, Murphy, and Maddie. Leo was a hero to us all and taught us to enjoy every moment life has to offer. His cheerful disposition, unwavering positive attitude and bright smile will remain with us forever. A funeral service will be held on December 29, 2021 at 1:00 pm at Delta Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Canadian Cancer Society on his behalf. Online condolences can be made at www.deltafuneral.ca, which has been entrusted with the arrangements.
LYON, William W. 1928 - 2021 Bill was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He started working at age 15 in a coal merchant’s office, then did his National Service in the Palestine Police Force. On his return he joined the Edinburgh City Police. Bill emigrated to New Westminster in 1957 with his wife Betty and daughter Kathryn (deceased). He worked for AIM Steel then the Justice Institute at Jericho Hill. Bill loved to travel and explore new places. He was an active member of the Scottish Country Dancing, Sons of Scotland and Century House. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 68 years Betty, son Ian (Karen), granddaughter Karen (Remo), great-grandchildren Emma and Matteo and his family and friends, here and in Scotland. At his request there will be no formal service but a family gathering will be held later.
As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

Because I Love You So Time will not dim the face I love, The voice I heard each day, The many things you did for me, In your own special way. All my life I’ll miss you, As the years come and go, But in my heart I’ll keep you, Because I love you so. -Anonymous
