‘We’re trying to build a better society’

NWSS students stage walkout against rape culture and gender-based harassment at their school Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

It started in middle school.

When male administrators would flag girls for dress-code violations for wearing “revealing” clothes.

When older boys would intimidate a Grade 6 girl and make lewd comments about her body.

It continued into high school.

With being groped in the lineup at the cafeteria.With what one young woman described as “your normal boob grab or ass grab” in the hallway, in the stairwell, at lockers.

It was the male so-called “friends” who pressured them into sending nude photos.The ex-boyfriends of their own friends who hit on them at parties, who cornered them and assaulted them. It was older boys demanding sexual behaviours they weren’t ready or willing to give.

It was being served drugged drinks at parties. It was being held down against their will. It was rape.

Today it is rage. And tears. And hugs. And one young survivor after another, standing up and sharing their stories, their strength and their solidarity with the crowd of a few hundred students assembled on the Mercer Stadium lawn.

It is the young woman who stands at the microphone and says, in a clear and unwavering voice: “My life has gone downhill because of one guy’s f***ing decision

‘We support them, 100%’: school board chair

Continued from page 1 to take my rights away and violate me.”

It is Friday, May 13, 2022, and this is NewWestminster Secondary School.

STUDENTS MARCH OUT “Hey hey, ho ho, the patriarchy has got to go!”

“Say it once, say it again, no excuse for violent men.”

NewWestminster Secondary School students took their message about gender-based violence and harassment to the streets on Friday — loudly and fiercely.

Students from the school’s SEAS (Safety, Education, Advocacy and Support) group organized the walkout and rally to draw attention to what they say is a disturbing “rape culture” at the high school.

Students gathered out front of the high school and marched down the street en masse, more than 200 strong, waving signs as their chants carried on the clear afternoon air.

The line of protesters streamed down to the parking lot outside the School District 40 offices on Ontario Street.

There, district superintendent Karim Hachlaf and school board members — including Gurveen Dhaliwal, Dee Beattie, Danielle Connelly and Maya Russell — watched and listened to student speeches and testimonies from students about their personal experiences.

Then the students marched back up to Mercer Stadium, where they assembled on the lawn and listened as, one by one, their peers approached the megaphone to tell their own stories.

HEALING MOMENTS Grace Hodges, a Grade 12 student and one of the rally organizers, said the students wanted to use the occasion to draw attention to the issues they’ve been talking about since they started a petition about gender-based harassment at the high school more than a year ago.

They want to put pressure on school administration, district

staff and the Ministry of Education to ensure better education about, and action on, sexual health and sexual assault in schools.

Most of all, Hodges said, they wanted the rally to give voice to survivors.

“We want to empower the victims of sexual assault who are at our school, to have an avenue they can advocate for themselves through,” she said.

“I’ve been involved in activism for a while, and some of the most healing moments have been at protests, when I feel my community around me.

And I think if we can give that to the victims at our school, we can give that to the girls who have experienced harassment at our school, who have experienced degradation every day, then that’s a big win for SEAS, I think, and that’s what we want to channel moving forward.”

I just think it takes one school saying, ‘This is enough, and we need to do something better’

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE One of the things they’d specifically like to see, she said, is the creation of a restorative justice program that would be available as an avenue for victims of sexual assault to find justice, and for perpetrators to come to a deeper understanding of the harm they have caused.

Running such a program through the NWSSWellness Centre would be a tangible way to start transforming the culture of the school, Hodges said.

She’s quick to note that the problems faced by the girls at NewWestminster’s only high school aren’t unique to the school.

“It’s a societal thing.The systems that are in power — our legal system, our education system — they are complicit in enabling

this.They are complicit in teaching young boys and men that this is OK and telling them that this is a valid option. Sure, we might not be able to change our entire structure of society, but we can make a start,” she said.

“I just think it takes one school saying, ‘This is enough, and we need to do something better.’Why not do something better? Because the other option is unthinkable.The other option, girls come to school feeling unsafe, is not an option. So we have to change.”

‘REALLY TROUBLING’ School board chair Gurveen Dhaliwal heard the students’ message loud and clear.

“It’s troubling, it’s really troubling,” she said. “As a woman, these experiences — they resonate. And not just that, but it reminds us of the importance of the work that’s required of us.

We recognize that it’s not just isolated to our schools or our cities. It’s a part of a larger societal, systemic change that’s required, and we’re committed to that work,” she said.

Dhaliwal said the board will continue to build on the work it’s already been doing in schools over the past year.

“We’ve looked at opportunities to better support sexual education in our schools,” she said, noting that means looking at both policies and procedures and at “on-the-ground” educational opportunities to support students and build their sense of safety.

Dhaliwal said the district is open to SEAS’ idea of a restorative justice program.

“I think restorative justice is absolutely one option,” she said.

“Our goal as a district is really to support and empower all students with whatever choices that they want to make that are right for their individual situations.”

Dhaliwal said the rally and the issues it raised are not just about what’s happening in schools.

“It’s recognizing that society as a whole, we’re dealing with this systemic change that is required. Students are bringing forward some of the many things that for me, as a woman, I

absolutely understand and believe to be true.They exist in not just our schools but again, in our society.”

Asked if she had a message for students, Dhaliwal didn’t hesitate.

“That we support them, 100%,” she said. “It’s an incredibly complex issue. It’s going to take a lot of work, and our district is committed to working alongside students and stakeholders to not just tackle immediate issues, but also to look at the cultural shift that’s required in our schools, and to build out a better society for them and generations to come.”

BUILDING A SOLUTION For many students, the day ended in hugs and in tears that promised, for some, the beginning of healing.

Which, for Hodges, was what it was meant to be.

She stressed the event wasn’t about students just trying stir up controversy.

“I think, ultimately, we’re not trying to tear anyone down and make people feel like we’re just here to like cause chaos.We’re trying to build a better society.

We’re trying to build a solution, and sometimes that’s messy.

“But if the act of instituting patriarchy, of instituting sexism, was violent, was messy — sometimes undoing that is going to be messy too.

“But we have to embrace it and understand we’re working towards a more positive world.

“And I’m committed to do that. SEAS is committed to do that. Now we want to invite our community to also work alongside us to build that.”

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Where have all the shuffles gone?

Here’s a B.C. political trivia question: Who is the longest serving B.C. agriculture minister since the 1960s?

If you said Lana Popham, the current minister, you would be correct.

Here’s another: who is the longest serving labour minister in the last 50 years?

Again, if you answered with current Labour Minister Harry Bains, you would be correct.

In fact, three other current ministers (Environment Minister George Heyman, Attorney General David Eby and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth) have set records of longevity in their portfolios that go back decades.

The NDP government is approaching the fifth year anniversary of assuming power in this province, and the fact that a record number of cabinet ministers still hold their positions after that span of time shows just what a different approach Premier John Horgan takes when it comes to putting together a cabinet.

In previous governments going back more than 50 years, it was unusual for ministers to last more than two or three years in the same cabinet post. Premiers of various political stripes were always shuffling their cabinets.

Not Horgan.

He has told me several times that once he appoints a team, he prefers to step back and let them do their work. Back in the first couple of weeks of the pandemic, he made it clear that his ministers would be the face of the government’s response.

Back in December, he reminded me how few changes he had made and how few changes had been made at the deputy minister level as well. His take was this approach led to consistency and better outcomes.

This approach is in stark contrast to most of his predecessors.

For example, Christy Clark had four different labour ministers in a little more than six years in office, and four attorneys general as well (the NDP has had one of each). Over his 10 years in office, Gordon Campbell had five agriculture ministers and five solicitors general (again, the NDP has had one of each, albeit over half the time in office).

The NDP’s Mike Harcourt had five different government services ministers over just over four years in power, and three different environment ministers.

The retirement of eight cabinet ministers going into the 2020 election necessitated some changes at the cabinet table, of course, but that’s not the same as a shuffle mid-term.

In all, eight ministers have had the same portfolio since first getting their posts in July 2017.They include two ministers of state: Katrina Chen (child care) and George Chow (trade), and the aforementioned Popham, Baines, Heyman, Eby and Farnworth.

Then there is Health Minister Adrian Dix. Dix appears poised to become B.C.’s second longest consecutive serving health minister in August, surpassing former Social Credit minister Jim Nielsen.

Back in 2017, when the election outcome seemed uncertain, many observers (including this columnist) wondered how stable a minority NDP government could be over time.

The 2020 election result, and the fact that so many key cabinet ministers have remained in their jobs for record times, suggest that stability is beyond what most had imagined.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Zero-emission Zamboni arrives

Moody Park Arena celebrated the arrival of a new zero-emission Zamboni in April. For 18 years, the facility had used a propane machine that impacted air quality and posed safety challenges with the filling and storage of pressurized tanks.The new $122,500 Zamboni, just the fourth of its kind in B.C., took between six and eight hours to charge and could clean the ice surface up to 15 times before running out of energy. Arena manager Ron Booth estimated the new machine would save $5,000 a year on oil changes, air filters and tune-ups.

Community New Roots helps newcomers build connections Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Jeremy Perry wants to help newcomers to New West put down roots and break through feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Perry is the founder of a newly launched business, New Roots, which will be hosting events and providing welcome gifts that aim to help people integrate into the community.

He believes it’s crucial for newcomers to make connections with other community members.

“I think it’s the difference between feeling like you are sleeping somewhere and feeling like you are living somewhere,” he says. “When you are connected to the community, whether that is having some businesses that you like to frequent, who recognize you as a regular customer, to people who you see on the street who smile, and you can stop and chat with, to friends you can call up and do something with, that’s what really makes it feel like your home. And my dream is to have people moving to New Westminster really feel like they are home.”

Perry, who moved to New West a decade ago, had a positive experience when he arrived in the city, but he says that’s not an experience shared by all newcomers.

Facebook.com /NewWestRecord

“I am quite a social extrovert so I actively sought out ways to meet people.

The community is quite welcoming when you show up and want to be involved,” he says. “However, other people in my life, when they moved to town, if they are not driven to actively really seek out everything, I have seen them take a lot longer to start to build those local connections. But when they do, the people in New West are great. It’s just trying to encourage those initial connections to occur sooner rather than later.”

New Roots is hosting its first three events in June — a pub social at Union Jack Public House on June 1, a walk through Queen’s Park on June 11 and a Meet People Over Pizza at Boston Pizza on June 20.

The initial events are open to all newcomers, but Perry anticipates he’ll be hosting some demographically focused events in the months ahead — including some geared towards university students, others for seniors, even some for young families.

“Some are going to be very broad, but the hope is that some in the future will be targeted so that it’s a better chance that people will really meet some people that they want to form some friendships with,” Perry said.

Perry says the focus is

to create connections for folks who have moved to New West since 2020, as there’s been “a vacuum of opportunities to meet people and build connections” because of the pandemic. But New Roots won’t turn away longer term residents who are search of new connections.

FINDING ITS ROOTS Prior to the pandemic, Perry participated in a social impact business incubator course, with the aim of creating a business that’s wanted and needed by local residents.

It was through that social incubator program that the business’s name, New Roots, took shape.

“We are helping people dig new roots in the community,” Perry says. “It has the word ‘new’ in it which feels like it’s a part of New West, and it just really embodied the nature about what we are trying to do.We are trying not only to support new people coming to town but also new businesses that are in town. So any new business that opens can participate in the welcome gifts at whatever price point will work for their budget because we are really committed to help them dig new roots into the community as well.”

Perry hopes New Roots can help newcomers make connections with other residents and to local busi-

WARM WELCOME: Jeremy Perry wants to help newcomers build connections through his new business, New Roots. Residents and businesses are invited to get involved by attending events or providing gifts for newcomers. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED nesses.

“The plan is to have multiple events each month where people who are new to town, whether they are coming from another city, another province, another country can get together, meet each other, have some conversation prompts and try to find some common connections, get their questions answered about what’s available in town,” he says. “They’ll also get sent home with a welcome package that will have information about the community, as well as some free samples or introductory offers that the different businesses and organi-

zations around town can provide to really introduce them to what New West is offering.”

Through the welcome packages, New Roots will distribute items and coupons that have been contributed from local businesses.

Perry said the welcome packages are a great way for businesses to reach people who haven’t yet become attached to particular services and products around town — and a way of New West to be a warm and welcoming place for newcomers.

New Roots is being launched as a community contribution company,

which Perry describes as an “exciting incorporation style that ensures that the needs of the community are put ahead of profit.”

“We chose this structure because I feel strongly that being a good corporate citizen should be more than just a promise. Having it embedded into the legal structure of a company is a future that I want to see more of. I want businesses to be built who are legally mandated to put the needs of the community first. So I am happy and excited to be part of that revolution.”

HYACK FESTIVAL & PARADE • President’s Message • Welcome Back!

We will also bring you our Tropical Tiki night, Music Bingo, Royal City Rally, Trivia nights, and Summer Fireworks…the year will be filled with FUN.

It is my honor and privilege to be President of the Hyack Festival Association for 2021 and 2022 and to celebrate over 5 decades of Family Festival Fun. Our Golden Jubilee anniversary (2.0 version) will be a tremendous year of celebrations and fun activities for the whole family to enjoy.

I am pleased to announce that our signature event, the Hyack International Parade & Festival, that we have brought to the folks in New Westminster for so many decades, will be back in full swing after a 2-year COVID hiatus.

As a member of this wonderful association for 40 years, I am also celebrating my anniversary of being Miss New Westminster 1981, when I had the honour, privilege, and responsibility of traveling throughout BC and the Pacific Northwest to promote and bring greetings from our Royal city. I am so excited to carry on this responsibility to bring fresh new greetings from our city four decades later as President. It is a first in our history to have a 2-year running president, and I am also the first Miss New Westminster (Hyack Ambassador) to become president of the association.

I am a 4th generation New Westminsterite.

My Great Grandparents immigrated from Scotland and the Ukraine. My grandparents were Scottish, Irish, English and Metis and all made their homes here in Canada. My Parents raised my brother and I here and we attended school at Herbert Spencer, FW Howay and NWSS. Three generations of my family have been involved in the Ambassador program and I am a 40-year member of the HFA. I’m here for the long haul.

Becci Dewinetz

The Hyack Festival is truly a community effort with hundreds of people working behind the scenes to make it all possible. Although volunteering brings meaning to so many people’s lives, it takes special people to give so freely of their time.

Each year, the President of the association chooses a theme for their term. The theme I have chosen for my year is “Decades of Dedication”. I thought long and hard about what the Hyack Festival meant to me, and so to honour all those hard-working people who have come before me, I dedicate my years of community service to you and your “Decades of Dedication” to the Royal City of New Westminster over the past 50 years.

I am pleased and proud of what Hyack has accomplished. The secret to our success is that we stay focused on our history and what has worked in the past, while looking to the future and finding ways to move forward and prosper. I would like to thank my entire Board of Directors for agreeing to manage this association with me, some new to the organization and some seasoned vets. The blend of new and old will help to keep the history of the association intact while moving us forward and helping to grow!

We are united by our professionalism, our work ethic, and our passion for Hyack. We work hard for our community, and that can mean long hours, but also patience and understanding on the part of our families. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all the spouses and families of our Board, and thank them for their support and encouragement. None of us could do what we do without you.

In particular, I would like to thank my husband (first gentleman) Dave, and our children, Maggie and Josh, for always being my cheerleaders.

You’ll see the culmination of all our efforts on May 28th at the Hyack International Parade and our Hyack Festival, which will be filled with food trucks, market vendors and exhibitors, as well as live music, entertainers and kids’ games & crafts. We’d also love for you to join us in front of City Hall, where the folks from Portland, Oregon will be planting my ceremonial rose as part of the Hyack Presidents tradition.

It’s my sincere wish to see you all there, to collectively raise our community spirit, and to celebrate together once again!

HYACK FESTIVAL & PARADE Hyack International Parade celebrates 50 wonderful years after pandemic pause New Westminster's Hyack Festival Association gears up to revive community spirit

The Hyack Festival Association has always been a beacon of community spirit, and if ever there were the perfect occasion— now’s the time to lean into that.

Cue the marching bands, flag twirlers, mascots and fanciful floats. Get ready for the high-energy cheer squads, dance troupes, clowns, performance artists, and more.

They’re all gearing up to take to the streets again Saturday, May 28 at 11 a.m., for B.C.’s biggest family-oriented parade.

In fact, the city’s famed Hyack International Parade & Festival is in the final stretch of preparations for a tradition originating more than five decades ago.

“It’s important for us to provide a place and time for folks to come together in joy and celebration,” says Sheila Sharma, Executive Director of the New Westminster Hyack Festival Association.

“We really need to get that community spirit back up.

Everyone’s felt so isolated these past couple of years. We encourage participation that’s inclusive, intergenerational, diverse and multicultural.”

Technically, 2022 marks the parade’s 51st year. Hyack hosted a drive-by porch parade last year for its 50th anniversary due to COVID-19 restrictions.

However, the association agreed it was deserving of a more fitting extravaganza for the golden jubilee milestone.

“Usually, Hyack presidents are only appointed one year, but we voted to give our past president Becci Dewinetz a second term because she didn’t have the chance to use all the great ideas she had planned,” explains Sharma.

“So, we’re going to treat this year’s celebration as a nod to the celebrations that should have happened last year.”

Spectacle of sights and sounds

Hyack’s message: “Anybody can be in a parade!”

All you need is a fun and enthusiastic attitude and an entertaining idea. As long as you know how to whoop it up, you’re a great fit to join in this organized, moving show of imagination, music and lighthearted frivolity.

“I think there’s a misconception that you need an enormous float, but anybody can be in a parade,” says Sharma. “You just need a little creativity. Poke fun at yourself. It can be hilarious. Those are the groups people are going to remember. You can always call us for suggestions.”

Sharma adds, consider adding over-the-top vehicle decorations, or themed costumes and an energetic marching routine. Comedic entries that are family-friendly are always encouraged.

The procession begins at Eighth Avenue and continues along Sixth Street, Queens Avenue, and First Street, ending at Queens Park.

Among the out-of-town floats, entries include Penticton, representing Peach City, Peachland, the Kelowna Spirit of the Lake, the Royal Rosarians, City of Roses, Portland, Washington State’s Leavenworth Autumn Festival and the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival. New this year, the JapanCanada Chamber of Commerce float.

Festival of community spirit The festivities continue at the Hyack Festival until 4 p.m., normally held on Belmont Street, now at Tipperary Park.

Expect free entertainment, live music and activities for people of all ages, plus you can support local vendors, food trucks and other artisan creators.

Move like Jagger to the extensive catalogue of Top 40 and more by dance band Cakewalk.

“There’s lots of fun songs to keep the energy up,” says Sharma.

“We also have some fabulous food: Hugs Gourmet Mini Donuts, Crema Ice Cream, Reel Mac & Cheese, Burgerholic, and Dirty Vegan, plus lots more; there’s a great variety.”

The Kids’ Zone, run by ISSofBC is full of games, balloon animals, face painters, and crafts.

“We’re so excited to be back,” says Sharma. “We miss everybody, and we want to reconnect. I think we all need something really positive and really fun to focus on, and this is it. This is the event for it.”

City Surrey could join New West in new federal riding

Electoral Boundaries Commission proposal would see Queensborough become part of Richmond East

Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Queensborough residents could find themselves keeping company with Richmond in the next federal election, while

mainland New Westminster could join forces with Surrey — but only if a proposed redistribution by the Electoral Boundaries Commission comes to pass.

The Federal Electoral

Boundaries Commission looks at the boundaries of federal electoral ridings every 10 years, following the census, to adjust as needed for population changes in various areas.

The 2022 proposal would

see one new riding added in B.C. — Vernon-Lake Country in the North Okanagan — and other boundaries adjusted.

For New Westminster, the existing New Westminster-Burnaby riding would

districts,” Saunders said in a media release. “Our proposal necessarily gives attention to what is possible and practical given our varied and rugged geography and our distinct communities.We look forward to receiving public input on it.”

When the Electoral Boundaries Commission last went through its boundary redrawing exercise in 2012, it also proposed moving Queensborough into the Richmond East riding.The idea met with opposition from the City of New Westminster and residents — and, in the end, it didn’t come to pass.

HEARINGS SET Public hearing on electoral boundaries set for September in New West This time around, public hearings will be held around the province in the spring and fall to get input from affected residents, starting on Vancouver Island in June.

In New Westminster, a public hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. at the Inn at the Quay, 900 Quayside Dr. You can also send comments and feedback to the commission directly.You can find details at www. redistribution2022.ca.

be rechristened as New Westminster-Bridgeview.

With the change, the riding would lose part of its existing territory in Burnaby — a chunk of land in the northwest corner of the riding bounded

by Canada Way,Walker Avenue, Burris Street, Griffiths Avenue and Edmonds Street — and, in exchange, gain a triangle of land in Surrey.The new riding would incorporate the areas at the foot of the Pattullo Bridge and in Brownsville, bounded by 96th Avenue in the south and generally following 126th Street to the east.

It would also lose Queensborough, which would join the rest of Lulu Island in the Richmond East riding.

The New Westminster-Bridgeview riding would have 118,422 residents, while Richmond East would have 116,764.

Justice Mary Saunders, chair of the three-member commission, said proposed boundary changes around the province were mainly in response to the “significant but uneven” growth of B.C.’s population.

“That growth pattern creates a domino effect if we are to be fair and have relative equality between voters in different electoral

Community Discovery Centre offers summer camps for kids Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Fraser River Discovery Centre is getting set to offer summer camps in July and August.

Salmon, science, voyageurs and more will be among the topics offered at camps for children aged six to 11.

Kids will have their choice of attending four different camps, with each session being offered twice during an eightweek period this summer.

“Our summer camps continue to grow in popularity, and we are happy to bring them back again for July and August 2022,” said Stephen Bruyneel, the centre’s director of external relations and development.

Fraser River Discovery Centre has planned this summer’s offerings on the basis of what’s been popular in past years. Ð Spectacular Salmon will give campers a chance to learn the ecological, economic and cultural importance of Fraser River salmon. Ð Voyageur Adventure will take young explorers on a journey through history in the footsteps of Si-

mon Fraser and his fellow voyageurs. Ð Wonders of the Watershed is all about the Fraser River watershed and the plants, animals and geography that make it unique. Ð Science on the Fraser will give young scientists an opportunity to explore the mysterious underwater world of B.C.’s longest river.

“Given our success in the past, we are confident that these camps will once again be a hit with our young guests,” Bruyneel said. “And perhaps even more important for parents – they will continue to be safe! We have now successfully run summer and spring break camps during the pandemic with no problems. Our updated COVID-19 safety and health plan will continue to be in place to help ensure a safe experience for everyone.”

All four camps will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday in July and August. Each oneweek camp costs $250.

Registration for the camps is now available at fraserriverdiscovery.org/ summer-camps.

Moody Park now open for the season There may still be a chill in the air, but it’s a balmy 27 C at Moody Park Outdoor Pool.

The pool is now open seven days a week.The pool normally opens at the end of June, but the city decided to extend its season in an effort to mitigate the loss of aquatic services that arose with the unexpected closure of Canada Games Pool in September 2021.

The city is encouraging community members

to bring towels and bath robes for traversing between the heated change rooms and the pool.The pool is currently operating at 27C (81F), and two tents have been erected on the pool deck with one wall to provide a windbreak.

The city is taking online reservations for swims at Moody Park Outdoor Pool up to three days in advance at www.tinyurl. com/MoodyParkReserva tions2022.

Community Food trucks coming to New West this weekend Enjoy more than two dozen food trucks and other vendors at the Braid StrEAT Food Experience Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Braid StrEAT Food Experience is returning to Sapperton on the Victoria Day long weekend.

More than two dozen food trucks are expected to attend the two-day event that’s running on May 21 and 22 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 97 Braid St. — the parking lot next to the Braid SkyTrain station. Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, a smaller drive-thru version of the event was held at the site in an effort to support food truck operators who were struggling financially through the pandemic and to raise money for the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

“People have been asking for the event to return since it stopped last year,” said organizer Guy Ciprian. “With the absence of many long weekend events this year, like the Cloverdale Rodeo, we thought it would be a good time to try it again and raise some more funds for the RCHF.” Ciprian said about 25 food trucks and some local merchandise vendors are expected to attend the upcoming event, which is being hosted by the Sapperton Business Association. Partial proceeds will be donated to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

Launched on Canada Day 2020, the Braid StrEAT Food Experience ran on designated week-

ends for nearly a year. It came to an end when public health ordered changes that made it expensive to operate and attendance dropped because more businesses were beginning to open up.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, past events were a drive-thru format, but this time around people will be able access the food trucks by foot, bike, car or transit. Organizers are inviting people to bring their own blanket or lawn chair or to tailgate at the event.

“This is a long overdue chance for New Westminster and the Sapperton community to come together and celebrate,” Ciprian said. “A chance to try some fun and amazing food from several food

trucks all in one location.”

According to Ciprian, the Sapperton Business

Association is hosting the event and has invited its local merchants to partic-

ipate, as well as some vendors from past Sapperton Day events.

Community Festival sets seniors up for technological success Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Century House is celebrating technology at the new SET Up For Life Technology Festival.

Seniors Embracing Technology, a group of seniors at Century House, is putting on a festival that will explore how seniors can make better use of technology to stay connected.

“COVID really showed us the importance of connecting through technology, especially since our doors were closed for almost six months in early 2020,” said Shelly Schnee, program coordinator for seniors. “We want seniors in the community to feel connected to programs, friends and information even if they cannot physically come to us.We also want to have a framework where we can interact with seniors through technology in case in the future it’s our only option for any length of time.We believe that if we work hard we

can develop connections through technology, especially if it’s the only option for some seniors.We want to celebrate Seniors Embracing Technology!”

The SET Up For Life Festival aims to explore and celebrate all things technology.

SET Up For Life includes a device drive, where folks can dispose of any old cellphones, laptops, tablets and other devices — with all personal information being deleted before the items are donated. It’s being offered fromWednesday, May 25 to Friday, May 27 at Century House, 620 Eighth St. Items collected at the device drive will go to the digital inclusion hub, which works to provide used devices to people in need.

Seniors are invited to drop by and get one-onone simple tech assistance at the digital inclusion hub, which will be taking place on Thursday, May 26 and Friday, May 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The SET Up For Life Festival, taking place on Wednesday, features a number of presentations.

People can attend in-person at Century House or online and can sign up for one, two or all three sessions.

“We are experimenting with new technology (at least for us!), hybrid-style where seniors can attend in person but also have the option to attend virtually,” Schnee said. “There’s lots of reasons seniors may want to attend virtually: they aren’t ready to come back to public settings so they can stay safe in their homes but also participate; they are housebound but want to be included and learn; maybe they just want the convenience of participating in their pyjamas!”

WHAT’S OFFERED Schnee notes that most of the sessions are hybrid, so they’re being offered in person and online.

OnWednesday, the SET Up For Life Festi-

val gets underway with an introduction at 10 a.m., which is followed by an overview of a study about how COVID affected seniors’ use of information and communication technology.Tim Hicks, chairperson of Seniors EmbracingTechnology, is hosting the session that runs until 11:30 a.m.

From 12:30 to 2 p.m., there’s a Learning About Technology from the New Westminster Library session.

The day concludes with a Technology for Independent Living Session, where Technology for Living will share information about its program, which focuses on environmental control systems that help people with physical disabilities to control devices in their homes and elsewhere.Taylor Danielson, community coordinator for Technology for Living, will lead the session, which runs from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The festival contin-

ues on Thursday with sessions on Seniors and Technology in B.C. (when BC Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie will share her thoughts on technology and seniors and what’s happening in B.C.), plus the Century House Players’ videos from some of its Zoom productions. Seniors will also be able to participate in a creating a treasured photo collection/ preserving photos session and a card making workshop.

The activities continue on Friday with a presentation by the NewWestminster Police Department on cyber security. It also includes a virtual storytelling performance, where participants in a six-week storytelling workshop series will share stories about their most memorable tech-related moments since the pandemic began.

A NewWestminster man considered a “hero in the Korean-Canadian community” is being recognized for his achievements.

Chin uook Kim is one of this year’s recipients of BC Achievement Foundation Community Awards, which recognize extraordinary British Columbians who build better, stronger and more resilient communities.

“This year’s Community Award recipients have supported their communities during exceptionally difficult times and are an inspiration to us all — they are shining examples of dedication to better good for communities across B.C.,” said a press release from the BC Achievement Foundation.

Stand With Asians Coalition earns B.C. anti-racism award Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A group that inspired a Day of Action Against Anti-Asian Racism in New Westminster has been recognized by the provincial government.

The Stand With Asians Coalition is the recipient of the 2022 BC Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Award in the Intercultural Trust category.

Premier John Horgan and Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives Rachna Singh presented the award during a ceremony virtual ceremony in March.

New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian and Burnaby city councillor

James Wang nominated the Stand With Asians Coalition for the award.

“Stand With Asians Coalition movement started just a year ago, in April 2021, around my kitchen table after I read that hate crime in Burnaby had increased by 350% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Doris Mah, co-founder of SWAC, in a news release.

“Vancouver saw a 700% increase. A few of us came together quickly to form this coalition because we felt that something had to be done to tackle racism and discrimination.”

While the coalition was initially centered on a Facebook group that attracted more than 2,500

members, it has since become a registered nonprofit society.

It’s aiming to unite municipalities across the country in acknowledging the impact of anti-Asian racism as a first step towards developing more effective policy initiatives and systemic change to protect all Canadians.

“Many hours went into uniting cities across the country to proclaim May 10, 2021, as the Day of Action Against Anti-Asian Racism to highlight the urgent need to develop more effective policy initiatives and encourage systemic change to protect all Canadians,” Mah said.
