New Westminster rescinds five faulty bylaws Council to reconsider five rezoning applications after seeking public input at the wrong point in the process Theresa McManus

“The mind boggles at how that happened ... on such a grand scale.”

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Several projects in New West are getting a bit of a re-do after the city followed a faulty process.

On July 11, council took action to correct an administrative error in the process related to five recent rezoning applications. Zoning amendment bylaws impacted by the error relate to five bylaws that have either been adopted or have received third reading: a mixed-use rental tower (with some affordable housing) at 616 to 640 Sixth St.; an infill townhouse development at 337 to 339 Keary St.; a triplex at 817 St. Andrews St.; a duplex at 122 Eighth Ave.; and parking reduction for patios.

“It came to staff’s attention that there was a small administrative error in relation to the waiving of five public hearings for five zoning bylaws,” Emilie Adin, the city’s director of climate action, planning and development, told council. “And so, this is a repeal, a rescindment and a re-enactment of bylaws.”

According to a staff report, the error came in response to recent changes in the Local Government Act. “Since November 2021, for projects where council has resolved not to hold a public hearing, notifications ought to have been sent out to neighbouring property owners and residents before first reading of the bylaws, per the ‘new system’ of Local Government Act (LGA) regulations as adopted under Bill 26,” said the report. “Instead, the city had continued to follow the process it had for decades under the ‘former system’ of LGA regulations, during which notifications went out between second and third

readings.”

NewWestminster resident Christopher Bell is baffled how this error could have happened.

On June 29, Bell emailed the city clerk questioning the proper public notice required for zoning bylaws that are having their public hearings waived. His query came after he read a media report discussing changes to the Local Government Act, in which the author noted public notifications must be done before first reading of the bylaws — and he realized that wasn’t the process being followed in NewWestminster.

“I’m just shocked and appalled,” he told the Record. “It just seems absurd that such a thing could have happened in today’s modern era of local government.”

Bell said he didn’t hear back from the clerk but he did receive a phone call the following day from Adin, who, he said, told him his inquiry had alerted the city to the fact it had been following the wrong process for several months.

Bell said he was even more troubled to learn that the city planned to

move forward with consideration of third reading for the Sixth Street project at that evening’s council meeting — even though he’d warned the city that it hadn’t been following the proper notification process.

On July 4, Bell outlined his concerns in a meeting with Adin and Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer, who said the city would be following the correct process going forward. He appealed to the city to rescind the bylaws that had been considered through the faulty process.

RIGHTING A WRONG At its July 11 meeting, council embarked on a process to correct the errors related to the five.

City clerk Jacque Killawee said the repeal and replacement of the bylaws began at the July 11 meeting.

“Then, staff will provide notification through Aug. 18 through 29. And then we’ll bring them back to the Aug. 29 meeting where council can consider a second and third reading on all of these bylaws,” she told council. “An additional meeting will be

added on Aug. 31, for council to consider adoption on these bylaws. So all of these bylaws in this issue will be resolved by the end of summer.”

Adin noted on-table reports included an explanation about the error and the projects impacted by the process.

Bell said he’s grateful the city responded to his concerns and rescinded the bylaws. He said it shows that one person can make a difference and can be heard by the City of NewWestminster on important issues.

Still, Bell is perplexed how such a thing could happen in the first place.

“The mind boggles at how that happened. It boggles,” he said. “Like how did this happen on such a grand scale, but apparently no one is aware of this until I read a reporter’s story and alerted an entire city to this as a problem?”

ANSWERS SOUGHT Ken Armstrong, mayoral candidate for the New West Progressives, has written to B.C. Municipal Affairs Minister Nathan Cullen asking him to initiate a “thorough and in-

dependent review” of the circumstances related to city’s actions. He also requested that an un-redacted copy of the review be released publicly prior to the Oct. 15 civic election.

In his letter, Armstrong said recent amendments to the Local Government Act allow local governments to waive public hearings on multi-family developments if they’re consistent with the official community plan, provided notice of the waiver of public hearing has been given at least twice prior to first and second reading of the enabling bylaw.

Bell said he didn’t question the city’s process because of politics, but because he’s a firm believer in transparency, accountability and process. He said he’d like to know how the city followed the wrong process for more than half a year, especially considering the city would have received advice from its lawyers about the changes to the Local Government Act. Bell questioned why the city considered third reading of the Sixth Street project on June 30, even though it knew it may be following the wrong notification process.

CITY RESPONDS Killawee responded to a series of questions from the Record about the issue, such as how the city was able to follow the in-

correct notification process for more than six months.

Killawee said the city learned about the error “a little while ago” and corrected it as soon as it could.

“The administrative error was discovered when staff were investigating to answer a question from a resident regarding the city’s process for community input after third reading of a zoning bylaw,” she said. “Once staff discovered that our process was out of alignment with the new section of the Local Government Act, we worked to rectify the issue and have taken the five bylaws impacted back to the legislative starting point.”

Asked why the city considered third reading of Sixth Street project on June 30, even though concerns had been raised about the process, Killawee said: “We are correcting the issue now.”

Killawee said the bylaws were handled as laid out by the province — with the exception of the timing of public notification.

Instead of being done between second and third readings of a bylaw, as was previously the case, she said “They said you need to provide two weeks notice to exactly the same people as we’d been providing notice to previously, in exactly the same way as we’d provided notice to them previously, but we want you to do it before you do any readings; not between second and third, but before you do any readings of this bylaw.

And then you can give all three readings of that bylaw on the same day,” she said. ‘So the same notification would go out to the same people.The same length of time for that notification would happen.”

Opinion MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Court win won’t cure health care The Canadian public health care system scored an historic and vitally important court victory last week, but it was a rare bit of positive news for a system that is facing huge and mounting problems.

In fact, the decision by the BC Court of Appeal to uphold a ban on doctors’ extra billing and a limit on private health insurance, while a win for the public health system, will have no impact on things like rising surgical wait times and emergency-room closures.

For example, just one day after the decision was released, more small communities found their local emergency rooms either closed for the weekend or facing curtailed operating hours.

Places like Port McNeil, Port Hardy, Oliver, Chetwynd, Clearwater, Ashton and Hazelton have experienced the consequences that can result when even a small portion of their medical staffs book off sick (many with COVID-19) or simply leave their jobs.

And it is not just small towns that are facing major health care challenges.

Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops has been overcrowded with patients for months and emergency room wait times in pretty well every hospital in B.C. have been increasing steadily.

More than one million people in B.C. do not have a family doctor to provide them with longitudinal care through their lifetimes. As a result, they will likely face more health care-related problems later in life.

These are not problems unique to British Columbia. All provinces, particularly the most populous, are all facing similar issues.

There is a growing crisis in many sectors when it comes to a lack of human resources. Not only do we not have enough doc-

tors and nurses, but we do not have enough health technicians, qualified ferry workers, skilled construction workers or even restaurant workers.

When these shortages occur in non-health care sectors, they result for the most part in inconveniences, delays and annoyances for those affected.

When they occur in health care, however, the impact can be more serious.

There is no easy or quick fix here.

The B.C. government hiked this year’s health ministry budget by $1.6 billion, opened hospital operating rooms in the evening and on the weekend, hired dozens of health care professionals and still the situation seems to be deteriorating.

Some structural changes seem required: ending or limiting the fee-for-service payment model for family doctors and hiring more nurse practitioners have been suggested by some.

To be clear, the court of appeal’s decision to block the expansion of private health care at the expense of public health care was a welcome one for the vast majority of Canadians.

If the court had allowed the private system to further raid the public system of doctors and nurses (thereby greatly increasing wait times even more) the result could have had disastrous consequences for the public health system and those it serves.

The court decision will undoubtedly be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.

It will take time for the issue to make its way to the top court, but in the meantime it appears to be a safe bet that the problems in the system we all have a vested interest in protecting will continue to grow.

“Why aren’t the City Police andTransit Police coordinating foot patrol of the Skytrain stations AND the surrounding areas where these creeps hang out???Why are these creatures allowed such freedom to assault good citizens. Strengthen the police and put teeth in the criminal justice system to catch these offenders.”

Columbia SkyTrain station opens

Premier BillVander Zalm and Municipal Affairs Minister Rita Johnston were on hand for the opening of the Columbia SkyTrain station in February. Columbia was NewWestminster’s second station and the first phase of a $179-million extension to Surrey. “The SkyTrain corridor is a giant panorama of development from the waterfront in downtownVancouver through Burnaby to NewWestminster,” Johnston said. “Today we’re extending that corridor. Columbia station is revitalizing another second of NewWestminster.”

Dropping city nickname gives readers a royal pain Editor: Open Letter to New Westminster Council: I listened with puzzlement to an interview today with New Westminster’s outgoing Mayor about city council’s decision to drop “Royal City” from the city’s branding.

I have lived in New Westminster for the past 10 years and consider myself reasonably well-informed on current affairs; this is the first time I have ever heard about the “community discussion” on this topic to which the Mayor referred. To the best of my knowledge, there has been no public consultation on this matter, nor has it been something that anyone I know in the city has been concerned about.

I feel fortunate to live in a community such as New Westminster, and I have no real emotional attachment to the notion of royalty. But much of New Westminster’s considerable history (including its very name) involves its connection to royalty. Council’s motion, it seems to me, is the beginning of a slippery slope towards denial of that history.

I fully support meaningful efforts at reconcilia-

tion with Indigenous peoples, but as a taxpayer I would prefer to see city council dealing with matters which are clearly within the purview of local government, such as fixing our streets, dealing with homelessness and livability of our city, rather than promoting a concept upon which there has been no consultation and no expressed public concern.

Mark Leffler, New Westminster Editor: As a native daughter of the Royal City, born in St. Mary’s Hospital, I am greatly saddened by the plan, initiated by Mayor Cote and approved by his council, to remove the Royal City designation from New Westminster.

There are several matters in New Westminster that require attention, such as housing, revitalization of business districts and upgrades to Queen’s Park among them so spending large dollars on a needless initiative like this name change makes little sense, in my opinion.

If Premier Horgan can walk back a poor idea like building a new museum, so can Mayor Cote and Council rescind a misguided motion to change the name of the Royal City.

Police aren’t aware of any interaction between the drivers prior to the assault, but note there is no acceptable reason to exit a vehicle and assault another driver.

on Saturday, to contact police.

“This type of behavior is not acceptable in our community,” said NWPD spokesperson Sgt. Sgt. Justine Thom.

“This heightened level of emotions on our roads is not safe.We’re working to identify this driver and we’re asking the public to help us do that by passing along any relevant dashcam footage.”

The driver is described as a white male, 5’8” tall with stubble on his face, medium build, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt with a black over the shoulder bag and backwards black ball cap.

If you have information or dash-cam footage that can assist in identifying this driver, call 604-5255411.

City Victim in hospital after New West robbery, assault Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A victim was taken to hospital after an armed robbery and assault in downtown NewWest.

The NewWestminster Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying two suspects in an armed robbery and assault that occurred on the corner of Clarkson and McKenzie streets about 8:30 p.m. on July 11.

A NWPD press release states that police were called to the scene after a group of three people was approached by two people with firearms.

“One suspect pointed a firearm at one of the victims and struck him in the face before taking the victim’s bag,” said the press release. “As the suspects walked away from the group with the victim’s bag, they pointed their firearms at another person who was walking down the street and asked this person what valuables they had on them.”

According to police, the victim who was assaulted was transported to a local hospital, treated and released. He sustained a large laceration to his face.

The suspects left the area westbound towards Begbie Street.

The first suspect is described as a white male, 30 to 40 years old, with a stocky build, standing approximately 5’9” tall; he was wearing a black puffer style jacket, jeans and black hat.The second suspect is described as a while female, 25 to 35 years old, with a stocky build, standing approximately 5’6” tall, with blonde or red hair; she was wearing dark eye makeup and black clothes, and was carrying a green purse.

“The behaviour of these suspects is extremely con-

cerning for police,” said NWPD spokesperson Sgt. JustineThom. “It is believed the suspects and victims are not known to each other.”

The NewWestminster Police Department has offered the services of itsVictim Assistance Unit to the victims.

While police are canvassing the area for CCTV footage of the suspects, they’re also asking businesses and residents in the area to contact the NWPD if they have footage of this area from the evening of July 11. Anyone with video footage to share or who recognizes the suspects’ descriptions is asked to call 604-525-5411.

stages, and over 30 stalls featuring art and craft, home décor and apparel options, the street is all set to charm the community back to shopping at its businesses.

And the fact that they’ll have the street closed to traffic for the event just goes on to show how serious they are about having fun.

The festival was a long time coming.The last time the community saw anything like it on 12th Street was about five years ago.

Reportedly, there was a clash of dates between the 12th Street festival and the Uptown Live street festival in 2016, and while the latter did take place, the 12th Street event went into a long period of quiet.

Then came COVID-19, quashing any plans to revive it. Although, last year, there was a mini version of the festival organized at the longstanding 12th Street jointTheThirsty Duck Pub, this year, the community will see an elaborate festival complete with art pop-ups, food trucks and live music (by bands such asWe Found a Lovebird, 2 Days & Counting, MikeVan Eyes Band, and more).

“We know that we kind of went into a quiet mode for a while, but now, this [the festival] will help people to know what we have on 12th Street,” said Lavana La Brey, president of West End Business Association, and 12th Street Festival of the Arts coordinator.

The festival, La Brey said, aims to revive the businesses in theWest End - of which there are a diverse many. “We have Lebanese food, East Indian food, donair places, Mexican, and Filipino food…” she added.

12th Street bounces back from COVID lull While many of the businesses did manage to survive through COVID, a few had to shut their

This [the festival] will help people know what we have on 12th Street

doors.The pandemic, as for everyone else, proved tough for 12th Street business owners — many eateries limited their business to takeout, and salons and tattoo parlours continued with restricted services strictly on an appointment basis.

“It was a very, very sad time, I have to admit, but everybody wanted to make sure they were safe. So everybody followed the procedures.”

But all that’s in the past now. On Sunday, July 24, 12th Street aims to bring in as many as 5,000 attendees, who can amble around the area at their own pace — browsing the watercolour creations by Black Crow Creative Passions, smelling the candles

by Ollie & Co. or checking out Indigenous-inspired apparel designs by Shining Bear Designs.

There will be live music performances by the funk and blues band, Dem Boyz, and the folk rock group Cat Murphy Band, among many others.While the event would be a good opportunity to try out the local eateries, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to grab an ice cream sandwich from The Brownie Bakers food truck or a box of empanadas from NewWest’s Empanada Gal. The festival, sponsored

by KeyWest Ford, will take place between 11.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 24, at 12th Street.

All traffic from Sixth to Eighth avenue will be blocked to create a car-free zone.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
