So long, Royal City?

New West council believes it’s time to ditch the Royal City moniker and come up with something that’s more reflective of the community as a whole.

Council has approved a motion

by Mayor Jonathan Cote to begin the process of updating the city’s logo and phasing out the use of the “Royal City” moniker in its branding.The motion, approved by council on Monday night, would also see the city develop a plan to engage with the community in the development “of a new brand identity that is inclusive and allows for collective pride in our city.”

Cote said there was a discussion about moving away from the Royal City branding many years ago, but council decided not to pursue the initiative after hearing from community members who were concerned about the plan.

A rental development in Uptown New West is one of several projects impacted by an error in public notification requirements under the Local Government Act. In June 2019, city council supported a proposed 29-storey highrise development at 616 to 640 Sixth St., a site that’s home to businesses like the Waffle House and New West Cobbler. Some neighbours expressed concern about the height of the building and potential safety issues related to increased vehicle traffic on Princess Street, but council supported the project, saying it provides more housing options in the uptown, creates housing in an area that hasn’t seen new development for Continued on page 3

Up Front ‘We have many histories,’ mayor says

Continued from page 1 He said a lot has changed in the community since those conservations took place more than a decade ago.

“I don’t think the conversation is going to be the same one that happened 17 years ago,” he said. “I think there is actually a growing recognition that we are on a path towards reconciliation, that we are doing some incredible work regarding the inclusivity of our community. And I believe that largely the community will be ready to have this this discussion” Cote believes the proposal is an important step and move forward from the city.

“We are a community that has many histories that need to be celebrated and focused upon,” he said. “We have many histories that existed well before we were a city that need to be reflected upon in the work we do.”

Cote said branding can be symbolic, but it also makes a statement — and it’s important to ensure that branding is connected to the city’s vision. He said the mo-

ROYAL FAREWELL: The crown that has long been part of New Westminster’s Royal City brand will soon be no more, as the city embarks on a rebranding process. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR tion doesn’t mean the city can’t continue with its celebrations, such as the “quirky” tradition of blowing up anvils in May. “But it is about recognizing that there are many other parts of our community and other parts of our histories that also need to be to be highlighted and reflected in the city branding.” he said.

Cote noted that when

he sends letters to Indigenous nations, it’s done on City of New Westminster letterhead that has a colonial crown.

“From my perspective, I think that’s not appropriate for that to be the symbol of our city,” he said.

Cote, who is not seeking re-election in the Oct. 15 civic election, said it will be up to the next council and the community to engage in a discussion about

what the City of New Westminster’s branding should be.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr joked that Cote had left council with “a nice parting grenade” before the election. He said he’s thought some of the city’s branding that featured a big golden crown was “a little bit over the top” and has supported “softening” the Royal City part of the branding.

“I’m glad that you did say ‘next council’ and I’m glad that you did say ‘community engagement.’

Something like this, it requires a lot of community engagement. It requires engagement with our many Indigenous communities; it requires engagement with people that hold some of those traditional values extremely close to their heart,” he said. “It shouldn’t be something that creates an insecurity. It should be something where they’re participants in helping us rebrand the city.”

Cote said he didn’t view his motion as leaving a grenade for the next council, but as being an appropriate way to engage in this conversation.

Coun. Mary Trentadue said the city is always changing, and she suspects there are many people who don’t even know what the Royal City means. Like Cote, she’s not seeking re-election.

“I look forward to participating in some of those community discussions,” she said. “I think that the more we can be inclusive and welcoming to everyone, the better.”

‘Administrative error’ sees bylaw rescinded

Continued from page 1 several years and helps with economic development in the uptown.

The 2019 proposal called for the construction of a mixed-used development with 142 market strata residential units, 95 secured market rental housing units, 12,384 square feet of at-grade commercial and a publicly accessible plaza near the Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue corner of the site.

In December 2020, council approved a development variance permit that facilitated the conversion of all of the previously approved residential units to 100 per cent secured market rental. It

also supported variances to increase the maximum tower floor plate from 7,000 square feet to 7,414 square feet.

Flash forward to June 13, 2022, when city council rescinded the existing housing agreement bylaw and gave first and second readings to a new zoning amendment bylaw for the site. Council also approved a staff recommendation to waive the public hearing, as staff deemed the bylaw to be consistent with the city’s official community plan.

According to a staff report, the new owner had applied to amend the text of the comprehensive development zoning of the

previously approved site plan.

Under the new plan, the height of the building, the provision of at-grade retail along Sixth Street, the provision of a publicly accessible plaza at Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue remain in place, but several revisions were proposed.These included: increasing the number of market rental housing units from 237 to 338; increasing the project’s density; increasing the height of the podium from three to four storeys; and decreasing the amount of off-street parking from 313 to 271 parking stalls.

The revised application also includes 10 be-

low-market rental units and 46.4 square metres (500 square feet) of below-market commercial space for lease by a non -profit organization.

On June 13, council gave first and second readings to the zoning amendment bylaw that would allow for the construction of a mixed-use, 100 per cent secured market rental project at 616 to 640 Sixth St. Council subsequently gave third reading to the bylaw on June 30.

On Monday, council rescinded first, second and third readings of the zoning amendment bylaw. It also supported a staff recommendation to amend the text of the compre-

hensive development zoning of 616 to 640 Sixth St. and to require no public hearing to be held.

“The city, in June 2022, realized that it has made an administrative error in the timing of the public notifications due to changes in the Local Government Act,” said a July 11 staff report. “To correct this error, the city is repealing all three readings of the bylaw, and this report is placed before council to begin the new approval process.

This process will correct the administrative error, and no changes have been made to the content of the zoning bylaw, or the proposed project.”

Council adopts mat leave policy Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Members of New Westminster council won’t have to risk losing their jobs if they miss council meetings after becoming parents.

At Monday’s meeting, council adopted a draft maternity/parental leave policy, which will ensure members of council are provided with paid time off to coincide with the birth or adoption of a child.

According to a city staff report, the Community Charter states that a council member is to be disqualified from holding office if they are absent from council meetings for a period of 60 consecutive days or four consecutive, regularly scheduled council meetings.

Some exceptions apply, such as illness or injury, but maternity and parental leave are not included.

Councils can provide leaves to council members, but such leaves are discretionary.

Coun. Mary Trentadue said the policy will potentially open the door for a lot of people who otherwise wouldn’t have considered doing council work.

“I really wish that this had been around when I had originally run because it was challenging for me as a new mom, single mom,” she said.

“It was really difficult to try to do both. So I really appreciate this.”

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Snapvotecouldhelp Horgan’s successor The early departure of John Horgan as B.C. premier raises the very real possibility that the next provincial election will be called well before the Oct. 19, 2024 date that is currently scheduled.

Horgan’s successor (who appears almost certainly to be current Attorney General David Eby) may find it tempting to call an early vote rather than try to govern for two more years without facing the electorate.

Those two years will likely see a string of controversies and hot-button issues begin to accumulate.

Rising inflation, a deteriorating health-care system, high housing costs and various weather disasters are going to make governing increasingly difficult for anyone.

On top of that, Eby (assuming he becomes the next leader) will find himself under pressure from various activist wings of the BC NDP to abandon Horgan’s “progressive centrism” approach and embrace a more left-wing, environmental activist direction.

Some of that pressure may come from members of his own caucus.

NorthVancouver Lonsdale MLA Bowinn Ma recently posted a multi-part thread onTwitter in which she insisted the next NDP leader had to be what she called a “Climate Champion.”

And she defined that as a leader who will agree that “addressing #ClimateEmergency is a moral imperative, who will take an unambiguous stance against the expansion of fossil fuel extraction, including LNG [liquefied natural gas], and end measures designed to incentivize the industry.”

Ma, who is a cabinet minister of state for Infrastructure, appears to oppose a key part of her government’s economic plan: the LNG industry.

Ma is certainly not alone among New Democrats who want a more aggressive approach when it comes to fighting climate change. Others want a complete ban on the logging of all old-growth timber, a move that would bring the B.C. forest industry to its knees.

Still others want a ban on fracking (used to extract natural gas), an even higher carbon tax and more action taken against resource industries.

Will Eby be able to stand up to the pressure coming from what undoubtedly will be a much louder protest wing of his party?

Horgan was able to keep the environmental movement at bay throughout his time as premier. Unlike his predecessors of NDP governments in the 1990s, he was not panicked by large demonstrations aimed at government policies.

Pulling the plug early and securing a new fouryear mandate would further silence those internal critics, and drive a dagger through the heart of a still shaky BC Liberal Party.

An early election call would also put the BC Liberals at a disadvantage in an important area: money.The party is not fundraising at anywhere near the same pace as the NDP, which has about a two-to-one edge and which is financially poised to run a much better-funded election campaign.

Of course, perhaps Eby will want to steer the government in a completely different direction, one that is closer to those environmental activist positions.

We shall see.

In any event, do not rule out an early election.The next NDP premier may want to dive head-first into the election pool well before the waters get too roiled and choppy, which they undoubtedly will.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Paid maternity leave for city councillors “On taxpayers dime.While the rest of us only get capped at 55% of our pay by the feds.”

“Perhaps if more women with children were able to hold positions of political power, we’d see more political will to expand maternity leave benefits for everyone.”

‘Law-abiding citizen’ complains

Local resident Dave Thomas complained to city council in January about the New Westminster Police Department demanding a name, address, phone number and date of birth from people reporting crimes.

Thomas had called police in December to report a possible burglary. He said the police operator “insisted” she needed to enter his information into the NWPD computer system. “The job of police is to serve and protect, not to compile information on their computer about law-abiding citizens,” he said.

Capital budget increase deserves transparency Editor: With respect to the Record’s June 30 article headlined “City applies for grant to help vulnerable seniors.” Both the city’s supervisor of community planning, John Stark, and Coun. Chinu Das spoke to this $15,000 grant application, and council’s concern for our city’s vulnerable seniors is admirable.

However, at the same council meeting, none of the councillors commented on the dramatic $13.8 million increase in new funding for the 2022 capital budget. That’s a significant number that will have a financial impact on all Royal City residents.

The cost for the new aquatic and community centre has increased by $8 million, because of soil conditions and other inflationary costs, as well as the addition of a construction contingency. This is a 15 per cent increase in construction costs so far for this project.

I wonder why poor soil conditions would come as a surprise? Weren’t geotechnical tests performed prior to asking for bids on a $52-million project?

As a result of the increase, both the

$1-million EV charging infrastructure at civic buildings and the $90,000 for the artificial turf field are “temporarily realigned.”

Is postponing these two projects meant to offset a portion of the $8 million increase?

There was also an additional $4.5 million increase in the budget for, as Patrick Johnstone put it, “the unsexy sewer rehabilitation projects.”

That number is almost double the original budget. Reasons given are the delay in starting the projects, supply chain issues, longer lead time for materials and labour issues.

This raises a lot of questions, but my top four: Why did council not take this out of the consent agenda? Why did the Record not report the staggering $13.8-million increase?

And, most importantly: what other initiatives will be substantially over budget because these projects are costing so much more?

Finally: what is council doing to avoid future surprises?

There is a disturbing lack of transparency at all levels on this issue.

Arts & Entertainment Drag fundraiser returns to Anvil Centre stage Naveena Vijayan

nvijayan@newwestrecord.ca

For some of us, the world of drag queens and performances is often limited to a long binge of the American reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race on Netflix. But here’s a chance to see some of Vancouver’s best drag queens perform live.

Vancouver Men’s Chorus, Canada’s first LGBTQ choir (founded in 1981), is bringing its annual fundraiser Singing Can Be a Drag to New Westminster’s Anvil Centre this weekend. And unlike the usual drag performances which depend on skilful lip syncing, in this show, all the queens will, in fact, be singing live.

The last they performed in town was in 2020 — just when things were

Be there What: Singing Can Be a Drag 2022, presented by the Vancouver Men’s Chorus When and where: Saturday, July 16, 8 p.m. at the Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St., New West, and Saturday, July 23, 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., at the Annex Theatre, 823 Seymour St., Vancouver.

beginning to get hairy around the world.

Humphrey Tam, a member ofVancouver Men’s Chorus who has previously been part of the show both as a performer and a producer, recalls the particular night as one that was “weird.”

Despite the news of the pandemic looming like a monstrous cloud, they performed to a restricted crowd of 250. In the weeks that followed, they were struck with panic, recounts Tam.They anticipated calls from audience members who might have fallen ill after coming to their show.

Thankfully, none did.

Nevertheless, the chorus members called that show “the last show on earth” — for they weren’t able to perform for a long time after. In fact, this weekend’s performance will be the first in New Westminster since that eventful night in 2020.

“So, it’s a big deal for us,” says Tam. WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? This year, audiences can expect an extra dose of glitz, glamour, and energy, promises Tam. Besides the group’s popular queens such as Aya Keane, Elaine da Nundah, Francesca Hunty Parks, Gae Ping Ho, Hedda Nipplegate, Ida Downe,Whore-ia Estefan and Wanting Moi, there will be a few newcomers as well.

“With not having been able to perform due to COVID, a lot of them have this itch to perform now,”Tam adds with a laugh. “They (the queens) finally have had the time to sew their own outfit,

practise songs and think about concepts, and so on.”

According to one of the producers of the show, Mikey Van Nen, some of the new acts include those

by Lady David Browning — “a star-studded composer in the VMC (Vancouver Men’s Chorus), who will sensationalize with her smooth, scintillating sound”; Julinor — a diva with a soulful sound who’ll make her debut at the show; and Anita Drive, whose heartfelt, emotional performance will have you reaching out for your tissues.

time fitting all the talent into one show.

At this Saturday’s show, as many as 18 members from Vancouver Men’s Chorus will be performing.

Tam, who has been part of the show since its fledgling days, guarantees that there will be a good mix of comedy, elegance, and outright craziness — all neatly divided into two acts with a break in between. “Just so that people can take a break, grab a drink and stop laughing for a bit.”

NON-REDEEMABLE

Drag started off as a tiny fundraiser about 15 years ago.

“Back then, we had to beg people to perform,” says Tam.With just a handful of queens willing to put on a show, one queen had to do more than one act to fill the one-and-a-half-hour duration.

Over the years, it has grown in terms of production size, talent, quality of costumes and the fun factor. In fact, some of the performers have even branched out to doing their own regular gigs in the community — and today, the chorus has a hard

City Greenway construction set to start this month Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Construction of the permanent Agnes Greenway is set to start this month.

Construction of Phase 1 of the permanent Agnes Greenway active transportation corridor, the section between Dufferin and Seventh streets, will get underway in midJuly 2022, the city has announced.Work on the one-kilometre project is expected to be completed in December 2022.

“This is an exciting milestone for the City of New Westminster.The Agnes Greenway was first envisioned 10 years ago in the Downtown Community Plan,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a news release. “This project is

part of the City of New Westminster’s commitment to sustainable transportation, climate emergency response, and the creation of accessible active transportation infrastructure that allows individuals of all ages and abilities to move around our community safely whether they cycle, walk or roll.”

The city built the first phase of an interim greenway in January 2021.

The final design is based on feedback the city received during two rounds of public engagement in 2021.

It includes a two-way protected lane for people cycling and rolling and improved spaces for people walking and sitting, according to a city press release. It will be similar

in size and configuration to the existing temporary greenway.

According to the city, several of the greenway’s final detailed design will be different than the interim treatment, reflecting public feedback. These include: Ð a raised crosswalk across Agnes Street connecting to Blackwood Street; and Ð the closure of Blackwood Street at Agnes Street to provide space for public amenities such as seating, a water fountain, and a dog parklet.

Mike Anderson, the city’s transportation manager, said the city is contributing $800,000, the province is providing $500,000 and TransLink is contributing $1.9 million towards the $3.2-million infrastructure project.

By hosting Starlight Casino, the City of New Westminster has received more than

$124 million in provincial gambling revenue to support community initiatives.

Community Fridays on Front is back for another city summer Naveena Vijayan

nvijayan@newwestrecord.ca

Diving into the weekend just got a lot more fun.

Fridays on Front street parties provide the perfect opportunity to shoot the breeze with a friend over a chilled beer, enjoy live music by the riverfront, or browse through local artists’ works — all while grabbing a bite from one of the many food trucks at the venue, or New West’s own local eateries like Gastronomia Italia and Donuteria, among others.

While the fully licensed event allows adults to enjoy a beverage from Steel and Oak Brewery and Pacific Breeze Winery, kids can engage in a series of fun activities organized by the non-profit New West Family Place.

Fridays on Front par-

ties have been happening in downtown New Westminster annually since 2017 — though the event was cancelled the last two years due to COVID. Kendra Johnston, executive director of Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association — one of the presenters of Fridays on Front — said the event was conceptualized as a way to bring people back to Front Street.Turns out, a long period of excessive construction work in the area back in the day had people avoiding it altogether.

The event did its magic, and thousands showed up at these Friday evening parties, Johnston recalled.

After a two-year hiatus, the New West community wanted it to return the way it was, she added.

The event has now finally

returned — this time, having partnered with more businesses and not-forprofit organizations.

“We’ve just tried to stretch ourselves and partner with as many folks as possible so that this event can be even a truer reflection of community than it

through the pandemic, like most communities.

I think that our sense of community is very strong.

And that’s definitely helped the businesses.”

Having attended all the previous Fridays on Front street parties, what Johnston looks forward to most is the opportunity to see people again.

“It’s been a lonely few years.To be able to gather safely again feels really positive — for our community, for our businesses, and just for everyone’s mental health.”

Fridays on Front will take place on the Front Street Mews, between Sixth and McKenzie streets, from 5 to 9 p.m. every Friday (except July 29, when it’s not running) until Aug. 19.

ever has been before,” said Johnston, who has been a downtown New West resident for two decades.

Between now and the last time the New West community gathered for a Fridays on Front party in 2019, a lot has happened.

“The world has

changed,” as Johnston put it. “So, one of our goals at this event is to be as inclusive as possible with the community.”

While before, they simply booked the musicians performing at the event through the arts council, this time they partnered with Bully’s Studios and United Creative Artists Studio Society, who put together a community jury to choose the music lineup.

“This time, we really felt it was important that the community had input into things like the weekly music lineup. So that’s a big change.We’re excited about it,” she said.

The event is a way to welcome the community that helped local businesses survive through the last couple of years.

Check out gallery offerings in July PLASKETT GALLERY The scenes are of natural West Coast beauty, but their roots lie in the Czech Republic.

The work of artist Frank Pochyly is on display at the Plaskett Gallery in Natural West Coast Vibes, underway until Friday, July 29.

A gallery write-up notes that Pochyly, who came to Canada with his family in 1969, is a self-taught artist. He also picked up the artistic gene – and some training – from his own father, who had years of formal art training and a degree in architecture.

His artistic bent was stirred into life after a trip to Paris in 1993, followed by a return to his homeland 25 years after his family’s escape.

“Upon his return home, he purchased some canvases and paint and hasn’t stopped painting since,” the gallery write-up says.

The gallery is at Mas-

sey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Friday, 1 to 4 p.m., or by appointment at 604-5175900.

QUEEN’S PARK Local landmarks, scenes from transit and other urban images can be found on the walls of the Gallery at Queen’s Park .

Transits and Reveries, featuring work by New Westminster artist Sherida Charles, is running at the Arts Council of New Westminster’s gallery until July 31.

Charles said her transit scenes feature linear, primary-coloured compositions that recall the work of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian.

The gallery is at Centennial Lodge, Queen’s Park. It’s open Wednesdays through Sundays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Business New West’s Steel & Oak beer sells out in France NewWestminster brewery reps recently flew to England to brew up a big batch of Shiny Things IPA

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A beer normally brewed in little old New Westminster is being enjoyed in pubs throughout France.

Steel & Oak Brewing Company co-founder Jorden Foss and head brewer Eric Moutal recently visited England, where they helped brew up a big batch of their award-winning IPA, Shiny Things. An agency in the United Kingdom had reached out to S&O to see if they’d be interested in flying to England and making some beer that would be distributed to pubs in the U.K. — but then the pandemic hit.

“The world shut down, and we didn’t know if we’d get to do it again,” Foss said.

“Then, as soon as things opened up, we got invited back — with a couple of changes.

“The biggest change was that we actually brewed the beer in the U.K., but it will actually be sold in France.This agency has good relationships with a bunch of pubs throughout France, and apparently the French are really into IPAs and into hoppy beers.”

The duo from Steel & Oak jetted across the Atlantic to brew Shiny Things at Banks’s Brewing in Wolverhampton, one of the oldest breweries in the U.K. “It was quite the experience because we brewed on a scale that we have never done before.

It was a very, very large batch all in one go,” Foss said. “It kind of put into perspective how small

we actually are.”

During their time in England, the pair helped brew 450 hectolitres, or 45,000 litres, of Shiny Things in one batch.

“We basically brewed how much we brew of Shiny Things in a year but in one day,” Foss said.

Although there are always concerns about quality when you brew elsewhere, several things assured Foss that Shiny Things was in good hands; not only has the head brewer at Banks’s Brewing been in the industry for a long time, but other B.C. breweries have brewed with him in the past.

“We were able to do a bit of research before we went over, knowing that they were able to get the same ingredients, they were able to give it the same schedule of time that we would here,” Foss said. “We were confident that it would be done in the right way.”

While Steel & Oak could have emailed the recipe to Banks’s Brewing, the agency that recruited them flew them to England so they could participate in the process.

“It will definitely taste a little bit different, just because of the water; it’s different water over there,” Foss said. “But we are confident that it will still be a top-notch IPA that we will be proud of.”

The locals didn’t actually get to taste the England-brewed version of Shiny Things because it’s all being served as draught beer and wasn’t bottled.

There had been some talk

about filling a couple of mini kegs and shipping them to Canada, so they could try out their international brew, but so far there have been no deliveries.

“It would be unique to see, what are the nuances because of the water profile,” Foss said.

“The brewery that we made the beer at is over 100 years old, so they actually still ferment the beer with these fermenters that are open at the top — so you can actually see the beer bubbling away, whereas at Steel & Oak, everything is closed up, so we have never actually seen our beer ferment before.

“This was the first time we were ever able to pop our head into the brewery the next day and see the beer actually just kind of bubbling away, which is really neat.”

Foss said the fact that Shiny Things was created as a draught beer to be served out of kegs was another reason S&O supported the project.

“With it going into kegs and going straight to pubs, it allows the beer to flow through the system quicker,” he explained.

“Our agency had said this beer will be in and out within three to four weeks, and that’s more than quickly enough to make sure the beer is of top quality when people are drinking it.”

Shiny Things by Steel & Oak Brewing Company was recently shipped to pubs all over France, where folks got to enjoy a beer that got its start right here in New West.

“We didn’t receive any yet, but apparently it’s already sold

out and tasted great,” Foss told the Record on July 13.

The initiative got its start after one of S&O’s B.C. brewery friends recommended the New West brewery to the U.K. agent.

“This job and this industry, it’s a roller coaster ride, but it has so many positives and it’s such a collaborative and global

type business and industry that you get these unique opportunities from time to time,” Foss said. “It was definitely cool being over there and thinking that this recipe that we developed in New Westminster is now going to be sold all over France.”
